Data network not reconnecting

[scott hodgson]

BQ Aquarius 4.5 15.04(r24)

Network is not always recognised. After time or when I move from a wifi to mobile 3g connection the phone will do either:
1) not connect to mobile network, even though from the network dropdown bar, it shows a data network is available next to sim1 slot, but topbar shows wifi not connected icon and no network is accessible on anything.
2) when wifi is available, it keeps me on mobile data connection and doesn't refresh available wifi networks.

Number 1 can sometimes be corrected by entering flight mode and back again - sometimes. Number 2 can be corrected by switching on and off the wifi mode.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have experienced this a number of times since upgrading to OTA5 on the BQ 4.5

I confirm that cycling airplane mode or wifi or a reboot resolves the issue.

On my Meizu (15.04 r4) I note that when I arrive home my wifi does not reconnect to my access point.

It seems that the phone rescans only the 2.4GHz network (as I see those in the list), however the 5GHz shows still the access points I had at the office.

As a result the phone thinks it is still connected to the office access point.

This seems like bug 2 above, except the problem is only with 5GHz. Turning off/on wifi obviously solves the problem, as this forces a network scan.

Number 1 sounds familiar.

I've experienced this behavior too. Reboot solves it for sure, but what an inconvenient solution! :-P (I've not tested cycling airplane mode).

The last time, today, on BQ45 r25.

I can confirm all of the above. I can never count on having a data connection on my Pro 5 (rc-proposed) when I need it. Even if I do get a mobile data connection, I can never count on it to last for long. I find myself constantly toggling airplane mode off and on, sometimes it helps, sometimes not. If anything, the connection problems are getting worse...
