I am on Maxis and recently picked up a iP5 -- I've been having trouble with dropped data network. Noticed that in some areas (with weaker data connectivity), my phone would swap between LTE and 3G. After awhile, I would lose data completely -- data will not return after turning off/on Airplane Mode; MUST turn off/on my device.
Network: MY MAXIS Version: 7.0.3
I've googled extensively and have yet to find an acceptable solution. This thread was one of the hits that came up in my search. As some folks have suggested, I'm trying the method of leaving my carrier settings to Manual (as opposed to Automatic), and will revert back later next week to determine if this problem has been resolved.

Here's an interim update.
Over the weekend, I updated to 7.0.4 and maintained my network setting to Manual. So far, I experienced data drop once and Airplane mode OFF/ON managed to fix this (as how I'd reset network in my previous iP4S).
However, this data is less accurate as I was not in my work area over the weekend -- I tend to need to restart my phone at least 1-2 times daily in my work area as the data tends to switch between LTE and 3G (which I suspect causes the dropped network, and failure to reconnect).
So far so good this morning. Will update again in 1-2 days time.

So far, I have noted no dropped data since 7.0.4 update. Also, I have not needed to reset phone since switching from Auto to Manual network selection.
For those who are facing similar issues as I was previously, I would strongly suggest that you try out this method.

Day 4 with no recurrence of problem. I consider this solved. Hopefully, my responses were able to help others who might have drifted to this thread.
