My Samsung S7 Edge (Android 7.0) has lately developed the following problem: every once in a while, at seemingly random times, the internet stops working - in any app, and both on WiFi and on mobile. Connectivity is only back to normal when I restart the phone.
This occurs maybe once every 2 days or so, and is as you can imagine very disruptive. I've let it update the OS but even the most recent update did not fix (it may not even acknowledge) this bug.
Any ideas?
The following workarounds have been shown either to temporarily fix the connection drop issues or provide long-term solution (because this problem has been suggested to be attributed to a bug in hardware that may need specialised repair)
Disabling ipv6 settings
Toggling to 2g/3g to bypass connection drops
One user has also reported to have sent their device to service centre to get LTE calibration done, I have suspicion that it may be band incompatibility issue)
Other workarounds
