By my experience Jolla can suffer from bad network connection while not bad enough to keep you in doubt for a while.
Luckily mine has shown deterioration after repair by Jolla, so I immediately figured out that during the process something must have gone wrong with the antenna connection.
The problem was that everything worked but not exactly as it should. I changed SIM cards to another provider. Then I compared 2 phones next to each other and found the disadvantage for the Jolla.
With this knowledge I could send it in for warranty repair and things have improved back to normal level.

Thanks for your suggestion. As the link in TJC I posted, this seem a bug of how system handling antenna, RF and data connection. Plus Vodafone UK is perhaps sub-par.
I guess sending for repair won't solve the problem. Perhaps downgrading to 1.1.7 will do so. And my device was actually brand new, bought one for my lady but she doesn't want to use it (she is cleverer than me, you see? ) so there shouldn't be HW flaws.

Vodafone has a poor signal strength in some places but it certainly is not the worst operator in the UK.

Vodafone used to be one of the best, but is now one of the worst:

I have problems on trains too, by the way. Not just with Sailfish, Android suffers the same problem. If I was a network operator and had limited bandwidth in an area, I would prioritise devices that are relatively stationary / have been connected for a long time, otherwise you end up disconnecting locals to connect someone on a train for 30seconds while they zip past. I'm on GiffGaff btw... signal strength is much worse than EE, but I like the company.

Background: I'm using Vodafone UK at the moment and device runs latest 2.0. Only a handful patches were applied and all of them deals with homescreen and appearance, nothing changed on network.
Problem: Mobile data service drops constantly. Despite a sign of mobile network, there was often no real internet and shows a "limited connection" in mobile networks under setting.
I'm travelling most of the time. Sometimes I don't have steady signal, and Vodafone has a poor signal strength in some places but it certainly is not the worst operator in the UK.
Usually when I am on the train, sometimes it passes a tunnel and afterwards signal resumes but mobile network shows limited unless enabling flight mode and then disable it. (Restart mobile network) It may get back mobile data. Disabling data connection and enabling again doesn't help.
Similar happen when Vodafone has an unstable connection, when the signal goes back or stronger data does not resume.
Sometimes when I'm at Kings X where there are lots of people and operator's data service is busy in that area, I lost data connection unless I perform a complete reboot.
These do not happen everytime, but it happens often enough to become really annoying. I lose the basic function as a phone. And all above did not happen when I use N950 or BB Passport.
And this happens both on 3G/4G and 3G only.
Yes I can stand the fact I can hardly read the screen out doors. I can stand strange colours, I can stand poor camera and speaker, I can stand the OS is not optimised that well. I can stand a really poor Chinese input method which even does not support HW keyboard, I can stand everything, but not basic functions as a phone.
At first I thought was Vodafone's problem, after another few days of suffering and comparison with N950 (which is known of a poor signal receiving ability) I tend to believe it's Jolla's problem.
I'm wondering anyone else having the same problem? Starting to lose patience now, perhaps I shall just use an Android and ****** my brain with it. But this problem is unbearable... ;(
