Started noticing it on a cross state trip that I was losing service and areas that I normally had service and my phone was saying I had service by showing me bars. Now it is progressively gotten worse as I drop calls, texts are sporadic at best if using SMS, and I just cant rely on the phone when not on WIFI.
I have tried a multitude of things including:
Changing APN -worked for a little bit but phone always reverts back to default APN, also not sure if long term it would still have issues as I can never tell when it reverts back to default APN.
Airplane on-off- seems to help sometimes restart a decent connection and it will allow the phone to work for awhile (sometimes not always)
Reset Mobile Network Settings/ Reset All Settings- Seemed to work more consistently than airplane mode on-off but still not 100% effective
Resetting from ATT - apparently they do a reset which seems about as effective as mobile network settings reset, still not 100%..
Hard Reset- No real impact, works initially and then same issues pop up
Wipe cache- Same, no real impact
I am at my wits end. Been a Samsung User since the original Note and frustrated that a 1k device has lost 75% of its functionality and my options via samsung chat were trade it in for an s24 ultra for 600 bucks and I will still be making payments on the S23...
I had a screen replaced 5-6 months ago I am thinking I will go get it checked and verified no lose connections but I am running out of things to check.
