About LinkBacksWhen I leave an area where I was connected to Wifi, my signal bars only come back as grey instead of blue. I have full strength and 3G, but it won't let me use any data on the phone. I can only receive text messages or calls while this is happening. The only way for it to fix itself is by restarting the phone or toggling airplane mode a few times. This started happening randomly within the last few weeks. No new apps that have anything to do with Wifi or signal to my knowledge.
Any ideas? :-(

08-22-2012 01:40 AMUsually means you aren't connected to Google's servers. I've found that signing into a google app from a webpage (since you don't have data at all this isn't an option) or toggling airplane mode *usually* fixes this. For whatever reason sometimes when leaving a WIFI area, it happens. That's really the only "fix" I know and you're already doing it...

08-22-2012 01:28 PMPower off phone, remove battery, remove SIM, wait 1 minute. Reinstall SIM, battery and power phone back on. If that does not correct the problem then force stop the play store app and clear cache and data. Reboot phone. Hope this helps!

08-22-2012 02:47 PMWould definitely do what Saryon said. It happened to me a couple times and what I did was log out of my Gmail account then did the steps above. Probably didn't HAVE to log out, but it helped.
