7100g with Cingular service...

I noticed, once I lose a signal, it remains in NO SERVICE status unless I cycle the power or turn the radio off and back on. Is there a time-out or delay? I work in an environment where I can barely get one bar once I'm in the building. All other hand units I had before synced right up once I stepped outside. It seems to take forever or never on 7100g (I never waited hours for this... I just cycle the power)

Does anyone have same experience?

i have been having the same problem. It often happens right after I end a call. What software version are you running?
I live in the Dallas area, perhaps it is the network.

I just upgraded the handheld software so I don't know what version it was anymore. Unlikely it's the network as all other phones synched up right away at the same location. I'm in Orlando Florida area.

it's either a software or hardware issue, I drive truck and am constantly in and out of orlando and dallas. My 7100g (cingular) has no problems out your way. It just resyncs on its own.

Upgraded to version 4.1.0.292

Now, after complete loss of connection for a while (I don't know how long, but perhaps hours) in the building, get outside where signal strength should be full scale, it synched up in 15 minutes or so.

Apparently, after being unable to find signal for long time, it times out and it won't retry so often anymore. It must be a programmed in algorithm to save battery power.
