I just bought SE X10 mini pro for my gf,
from the start I bought, the signal is very unstable and often lost signal.
the bad things is the signal often lost when she want to make a call or sending a message.
I compare with my X2, same provider i have conclusion that there's problem with the gadget. we also upgrade the simcard but still same result.
any idea how to solve this?
and one thing, how to send a file to another non-android handset?
well... me too.. I've got lost Signal oftenly...
Anyone?

I updated my Vodafone X10 to 2.1 (2.1 has not been released for my product code yet) and I used global generic.
I noticed that after that I started having problems with signal drops, So I reflashed a few times but still the same.
I'm not saying it's the update for sure, since it could be a problem with my phone, but has anyone experienced this?
PS: I also replaced my sim card, and still have the same problems.

I'm with Optus and not Vodafone but I'm not experiencing anything like this.
im on Optus in Newcastle NSW and signal is good. never drops out but i get the occasional issue sending txt msgs. im on nordic 2.1 still.
Hmmm.
I think it might be my phone.
I downgraded back to 1.6, and although i havent had a any dropout yet, while comparing another nokia phone I have, i seem to get lower signal.
That's only in the hours or so since i downgraded.
I'll keep an eye on it, and report, but probably my phone being dead, and nothing related to 2.1
I have the same problems as well, i live in China.
I have singapore verision updated to 2.1, and then i always lose signal, i cannot make any phone call or people are quite difficult to call me.. this happen randomly
I flashed to global 2.1 when it 1st came out and experienced the same signal dropout that your talking about. My data signal kept dropping out and coming back. Got annoying. Eventually flashed to Optus 2.1 and everything is perfect. It's the global firmware, not your phone.
Try change your build.prop codes to the Optus au codes and see if you can use that firmware for Vodafone. Just root and delete all things Optus zoo

I have this problem in Newcastle, too. I've found 'reregistering' my phone on the network fixes it.

I too have just upgraded my X10 to 2.1 Generic. Im with 3 and have had poor signal for about 18 months (since Vodafone bought into 3). Since doing the upgrade, I now have HSDPA connections and the signal strength and quality of calls has greatly improved.
I am a optus user. After i upgraded the firmware to 2.1, my wifi just stops working. When i turn wifi function on, there is wifi logo appearing on the top of the screen and never detects any wifi access point. Anyone knows what is going on? Is that a bug of 2.1? as wifi was working fine with 1.6
IM from south Africa,on Vodacom/vodaphone and have the same issue with connection dropping on data,but found that it seems to be a tower problem or network problem rather than a phone problem,at home i have no issues like this but in far out towns with graham bell old technology in the towers the issue happens alot.
My girlfriend has an X10 mini (E10i) on Vodafone Spain. Firmware 2.1-update1
The SIM lock has been removed and she is using it with a Movistar Spain SIM
Her first problem is that it's often extremely slow to react, gets stuck on screens etc. and occasionally selects the wrong things.
The second more serious problem is that it often doesn't receive calls. The phone will have full signal and be right next to her, but callers get connected straight to her voicemail, without the phone ringing.
Has anyone else had these problems with an X10 mini pro? I've done a fair bit of googling but not managed to find much out yet.....
Thanks in advance....
Bee.
Flashtool
I should have mentioned before, I intend to debrand the handset using the flashtool and instructions found here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
This should speed it up a little but I'm not sure if it will affect the call issue....
being cautious!
has anyone else successfully used the flashtool to change their x10 mini firmware to E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Generic ?
would like a bit of feedback before i take the plunge as it ain't my phone......
yes, you just have to download the right firmware (e10i for x10 mini; or depending on your carrier, e10a.. check first with e10i, and see if you will still get 3g. if not, it's e10a).
thanks very much for responding
do you mean i should try the e10i firmware first and then re-flash with the e10a if i have problems with 3G?
Hello
I got my xperia z2 D6503 2 days ago brand new sealed. I inserted my Net10 sim and it worked like 1 day and than I noticed that there was signal issue first I thought it was because of area than I found out it was phones fault since same sim card worked perfectly on my old xperia z and also on xperia z2 Tab and on my brothers galaxy s4. strange thing is it shows low signal only when LTE is on and I can send and receive text messages but I can't make calls. as soon as I turn off LTE it looses signal and no text or call go through.
I tried factory reset, 2 different sim cards, even bought new sim card, numerous restarts and nothing helps. searched web for this issue and nothing at all.
so anyone else had this experienced? any solutions?
thanks

Same issue with my z2... only when I hold it a certain way... I'm on Bell mobility in Canada and got the phone a few days ago.
I've been experiencing the same issue ever and I've had my phone over a month, I'm on EE in the uk running the .55 firmware. My phone is currently in repair to fix this problem so I'll get back to see if it can be fixed
Sony has no solution in USA and can't repair so I returned for exchange to seller. I though it was only me so looks like gonna be big issue

Hey, so did the exchange solve the problem for you? I am using NET10 as well and while I do get signal on all networks (2G. 3G, etc..) I notice that it isn't as good as almost any other phone I've had. I live in an area that has poor signal and places that I get 1-2 bars on other phones I get 0-1 on this phone, though when I'm in upper town where signal is great I get about the same as others do. I'm just not sure if my phone is defective or this is just how it is. I really don't want to wait to exchange plus the seller seems reluctant to do so..
I had to fix my APN (wireless &networks -> mobile data).
I Google the correct settings for my carrier(ATT/USA), and saved the updates and it worked IMMEDIATELY.
it's been solid since ever since. Note there are differences for the 3g VS LTE versions. Make sure you enter the right settings.
Good luck!

I did entered correct APN's as I mentioned it was working great for almost day and Than suddenly stopped working so if I had entered wrong APN's it wouldn't worked first time I powered it on. plus same sim card worked well on other LTE phone while was not working on my new Z2, so it was not APN issue.
Try rebooting 3-4 times and then wait. This should solve the problem.
Check the baseband version online and on your phone.
There is also a firmware update but you have to cable your phone to a computer and let it install the Sony software on the PC/MAC ... Mine updated yesterday...
Worth a shot if you haven't done so already.

Thanks man, it seems that's just how the phone is, maybe I can stop worrying so much about that now, especially since this Z2 I have has no defects that are so plentiful on other user's phones.
And like I said, it's not such a big deal when I'm in places with adequate coverage so it's tolerable. I updated to .402 yesterday and there isn't any change with signal but I'm holding out for more updates that can help out with coverage. I'm thinking once the Z2 is released in some way in the US (carrier or Sony store) that there will be an update then that may help us out.
I'm probably the last person to be offering advice in this forum, however, just a couple days ago I noticed I had no data connectivity at all. Calls and texting still worked, but no cellular data. All my APN setting were correct and even though airplane mode was not selected, turning it off and on again got my data connection back. Just something stumbled upon and I have no idea if it applies to anyone elses issue here. Just thought I'd toss it out there in case it helps just one person.

Solve which problem? The one i posted in very first post or the weak signal on my replacement? I did more than 5 reboots to solve first proble but nope.
Now this very weak signal worries me it loosed signal at places where my old Z was great. Hope this phone doesn't end up super problematic
Sent from my SGP521
Sony Service will service/replace the set, if needed. So please do check in there.
phone is amazing everything works smooth, but weak signal is getting on my nerves! looses signal very often and data gets really slow because of low signal even when LTE is available. I live in brooklyn ny and my xperia Z didn't have this issue at all. hopefully this could be fixed soon by software update.
Drop down quick settings from home and ensure LTE is ticked on.

They are wanting £150 for it so it can be "fixed"..... also wanting £40 for the month contract despite not having the phone !!!
I understand who you feel... they are no use what so ever and rude...
Hi all
I got a Mini pro a couple days ago from my bro. I let it to my wife (finally she got a smartphone lol).
The problem I have with it is that it seems to be very picky about the network quality.
My old X10 mini pro is full (4 bars), my Wiko dual sim is full too (max bars) but the MiniPro is less than half bars.
More annoying, it happens calls just don't get to the phone (although it shows 0-2 bars) and get an SMS later notifying me of the missed call.
The thing is a made a call 5 minutes before, full network, I didn't move between both.
Strange, huh ?
ROM is official ICS.
Is this ROM fault? Network fault? Should I go Kitkat way (if so, I really need AZERTY hardware keyboard).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
You could try different baseband. What do you have currently?

Hey XDA,
some month ago I damaged my phone after 3 great years with it.
I bought a new one via ebay and here is the problem. He said for sure its all fine with it. There should be no problem for sure.
First I had somehow reception issues. Sometimes the connection to my provider was off and sometimes it had 3 of 4 Bars. People told me its not a flashable modem issue, but a issue where i have to change some hardware.
so did I, changed the antenna and the receiver and still nothing changed.
I always want to find and fix the problem by myself, but now i'm at some point where i really dont know what else i could do instead giving it to a repair service.
what i did? changed all modems and stockroms which I could get from the internet and install them one after another and checked my connection via "Network Signal"
the biggest issue there was, at home the connection to my provider was good and at my girlfriends home it was totally broken.
maybe anyone could help me out there?
i just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667326 maybe i should change the back plate where most of the stuff have connectors? like the GPS does? because if i dont have it on i wont be able to connect anywhere.
My Provider? Vodafone D2 and in other Cellphones the SIM-Card doenst have any problems with the connection/reception
