3G doesn't reconnect properly

Hi.

My Xperia S has been suffering from poor 3G connectivity since I had my firmware changed by PC Companion to 6.1.A.2.45.  I was on 6.1.A.2.50.

Now, once or twice a day, I have to turn the phone off and on again to restore 3G connectivity.  The background is that whenever I lose 3G connectivity (entering a tunnel, for example) the phone signal comes back, and I can use the phone, but, despite showing a G or an H on the phone signal icon, no data transfer takes place.  Switching to aeroplane mode does not restore connectivity - I have to power off/power on.  This never happened before and quite frankly is starting to really irritate me.

Can Sony please confirm for me if

  • this is an acknowledged bug
  • why my firmware was updated 'downwards' (I'm in the UK)
  • does 6.1.A.2.55 fix this
  • when 6.1.A.2.55 will be available in the UK?  (and if not, why not?)

Thanks in advance

Quick update:  As I switched back from this screen to PC Companion, I see that I am being offered 6.1.A.2.55.  I am upgrading now, so will report back if the 3G connectivity issue I am experiencing has been addressed in this version of the firmware.

Thanks.

happens to me too, though simply turning off data and turning it back on resolves it...
