Hello i know that this is a duplicate, but i would really like to stress this point. i am running an aquafish converted to C. i am on 2.1.0.10.

on sunday i did send 3 sms to 2 different people. i did not got an response. my wife told me she called me, and i could see it in her log (jolla1), but my aqua does not show the call, nor did it ring. on monday i did try to call a friend, and got a unknown number tu-tu-tu. i did reboot the device and received an answer for a message sent on sunday. today morning (after returning from flightmode with situations app) i did receive two other messages from sunday's comunication's, more then 1,5 days later.

further more, i have a friend in slovenia. he receives most of may sms', but i get only every 3rd answer back.

it is at least once a week, that i can not make a phone call, restart network connection from utilities, does not help always. reboot seems more reliable. now i have to assume that during this time the phone also does not receive calls.

this is now starting to be really, really anoying. i could have upvoted some already existing thread, but i think that this does not really reflect good enough the fact, that a reliability on phone calls / sms is the minimum requirement for a phone.

please please have a look on that issue

I voted up :)

It seems to me, this issue also depends on cellular network, sim-card, stars in the sky, etc...

my feeling is that reconnection after network problems message does not work properly

Had this same issue last week, people tried calling and SMSing but didn't get trough. After restart it worked again. I got the SMSes too but after about 3 hours.

I have the same issue on a Jolla C with 2.1.0.11. Phone service is completely lost after some time and I cannot detect it unless somebody tells me that I'm not available or I try to make a call. SMS will not be sent and and received. Only data connection is present. After a restart of the phone, everything is working properly again.

Workaround: Remember to restart your phone every day or two!

Nice to have: A feature that detects phone service loss and restarts it automatically. I'm working with cellular modems that have a feature for a forced daily restart to ensure availability - not a bad idea, too.

Regarding the vsry last part: That is a workaround, the most ugly workaround. We all know, half of the computers in the world are just doing it's job reliable because of CRON, but it is not a solution.

Detecting a loss is a solution, maybe not the nice to lost the connection in first place, but a solution. Recovery of connection should be done with a reboot, just a service restart or so.

I know, it's not a nice workaround. A reboot is also not good as long as you have to unlock the phone and enter the PIN when you don't notice it. A fix of that issue would be nice ;)
