Yup, it sees it for a moment and tries to connect, and when it can't it disappears again. I've tried all the recommended fixes and none work. I'm just waiting for the universal fix they keep promising when I contact the help desk or pilot assist. Usually the other pilot can get some thing or I save the snapshot from the cell connection on the ground. It's not ideal but I confirm it with ATC before the seatbelts switch is moved, the old school way.
