A soft reset reconnects your Samsung S8 SE to the Sprint network.

4. Do you know if other Sprint customers are experiencing the same problem in the same location?

1. If yes or you don't know: Please contact Sprint Customer Care for help.
2. If no: Please find the nearest Sprint Repair center and schedule an appointment so a Sprint technician can further diagnose the issue.

5. Temporary solution: Connect to a Wi-Fi network.

You can connect to a Wi-Fi network as a temporary solution.

Note: Most Wi-Fi networks have a range of less than 100 feet indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors. Objects between the router and your Samsung S8 SE may decrease the signal strength.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network may also improve battery life.
