I have a problem with the antenna signal,it sometimes drops by itself,and I even miss calls.Is there any software solution or is it a hardware fault?Thanks in advance!
I think you have a hardware issue. This phone has excelent signal. Everybody loves it for this thing.

I have this problem too.When try to make call signal jumps with 20% then after a minute signal drops back.Every day i miss calls.Tried to find solution but no hope for now.
I have the same problem too. I have changed the system and problem has reappeared. If it is a hardware issue how can be this resolved? By changing the antenna or...?

I dont know what may be wrong but my wifi signal is really weak...
I'm like sitting 50cm away from my router and my phone get only 2/4 signal.and when I go to the next room I'm getting 1/4signal.While in the pas i was getting 4/4 when sitting close to it and 3/4 in the next room.
My laptop gets full signal strength anywhere in my house.I have also tried using nokia express music which was getting full signal too.
I have changed my phone's wifi settings from "best battery" to "best performance" but still nothing!
Any Ideas?
Hi,
got the same issue on my device some months ago. I sent the device to the HTC service center. The internal antenna was broken. Got inoformation that this could happen on a 740. So your's is probably demaged as well. After it comes back from repair it works well.
Hope it helps

Thank you for you reply.
You might be right,because my problem started after I dropped my phone once(the only time I have dropped it),I guess that then my antenna was damaged.The point is that my warranty has expired and I'm really afraid that I will have to pay too much for a repair.
Did you have a warranty? If not,how much did the repair cost?
Thank you.
Hello guys..i bought a RAZR XT910 before about 3 weeks and i didnt notice any problems with it at all..its battery life the way i organised it with smart actions is very very good, better than my iphone 4...i have as well those black marks on the screen on low lighting and black pictures but i dont mind this either..as u can almost never see it...my problem is my weak wifi signal..i never noticed it those last 20 days as i have been working on my phone mostly on my computer desk so the phone was next to the router..the only place my phone gets 4/4 in wifi signal its when its next to the router..at 1 meter distance the signal gets 3/4 strength..at 5 meters 2/4 strength and at 10 meters the signal its lost..and this is only when im at the same room that has the router..if i go to another room the signal gets lost..especially when i close the door...i never had any wifi problem with my previous smartphones and i even had wifi outside of my house...please help me here..im quite desperate..what shall i do? return it and demand a replacement? ask for my money back? is there any way to fix this?
I don't have that problem but I'm wondering if you get it with other networks? Also have you tried resetting your router?

yea i get it with all wifi networks...for example my university, work, home..etc
Hmmm. I just ran the Speedtest app and got 12Mbps download over my wifi. It would be interesting to try that a few places and show it to VZ. Maybe they can test it on their network.

Get wifi analyzer and see if you have good signal. I notice that the Wi-Fi graphic is conservative.
my RAZR was having trouble operating on WPA2-Personal secured wifi network.. so i changed the wifi settings to WPA-Personal with TKIP and the problems are gone so you might wanna try this before you RMA.
Mine had problems with dropped and weak signal which turns out to be because I had Bluetooth on as well. If I turn bluetooth off wifi works perfectly
My WiFi reception is appalling. It only see's my home network where as my three year old HTC Hero is seeing seven!
With my package I have the ability to connect to BT Openzone hotspots around the UK.
Not much use if you can't go more than 15ft from a router without the connection dropping!
Bluetooth is off and I have tried several WiFi analysers from the market, all show a very weak signal.
Hi
On mine, yes the wifi signal (bars) are showing less then with htc desire, but I can connect without problems even the router is on the second floor and I am siting on the first, so reachable from the whole house.
I do experience, that it takes a little bit longer to find the wifi as with the desire, but once connected, works just fine.
I do not experience problems with hidden networks. Mine is not broadcasting the id, still connection is stable.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
The bars on mine seem less than what the signal actually is. I connect to my home wifi just fine, from all over the house. I also connect to work's wifi from what seems like the same distance as my previous phone (Dinc)
i'm using d-link dws-125 (usb router)
when i connect and start using internet, the network disconnects in a few seconds. then it connect again and the same... etc.
please, help!!!
same problem here, hope a solution can be found as the phone is unusable in its present state
The "single ball" is enough to achieve 10mbit at my place, however, I upgraded my firmware to OpenWRT and now I get two full lines and the "ball" in the bedroom.
Stock netgear firmware is.. Incomplete. :S
Wi-fi back
Hi everybody,

That will be due to the extra hypo-tentional field force caused by the EMF differential residual flux shift as a result of the heightened olfactory awareness of your cologne!
Nah, you're an antennae!

I have similar problems with poor network reception. Its way worse then my S3 and S4 and where I use to have low reception I have none with the Mega. And it also seem to randomly lose the reception all together and regains it within about a minute, happens several times aday.
Was thinking of returning the phone cuz it shouldnt be this bad.
plz help

Exact same problem here
I just bought this phone yesterday
Signal seems to fade in and out
All I've done so far is rooted it.
Still stock rom, still stock recovery
Is it hardware or software?

As the title goes I tried to make a GPS fix buy adding a little thin plastic under the pins showed in the video tutorial I used but after assembling back the phone noticed that I cannot connect to 2G anymore. I switch to 4G and 3G with full coverage but when I try to went back on 2G the network signal drops and phone says "Emergency calls only". I opened it again and removed the plastic board and switched it on and got slmost perfect 2G coverage but my microphone stopped working - nobody was able to hear me speaking so I opened it again and added a little card board piece on the place and now I have good mic with good 4G/3G signal but again with no 2G signal again. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ? Also where are the exact places of the 2G/3G/4G/GPS antenas ? I travel a lot on places with low 4G and even low 3G coverage so I really need the 2G mode again. Please help me fix it as it was before. I need 2G more than GPS so if somebody tell me how to reverse this would really appreciate it, thank you !

Ima follow this one closely. Mine has the very same issues ive bassicly asked the same thing
Mine does it one all three. Rarely picks up 2g gsm network gets crappy 3g and lte. I use lte discovery to verify all this. Now i have noticed that if i pinch the chin or hold the phone like laying in bed only by the chin i get killer signal and even pick up 2g at the same time as lte.
I watched other devices all get band 5 lte and gsm at the same time.
I cant find any confirmation on where the antennes are even located in this device.
Today I noticed that my sim tray stays slightly out of the phone body so I tried to push it in and it wasn't going any furder as before. So I though there must be something in the tray preventing it to push in till the end and I used a magnifyer to see inside and noticed a small plastic that seemed from the same material of the pick I used to open the phone so I got it out and now the sim tray is closing nice again and now I'm able to connect to 2G but still the reception is not good as it was and it drops from time to time... Still this is an advance in the right direction. I think I had broken or bent or moved something slightly off place from these several interventions so I'm f****d up.
Please guys don't try to make any gps fixes because you will do more harm than good ! That is my advice !
If still somebody can help me, please write ! Thank you !

Please share where the f**k is the 2g/3g/4g cellular antennas PLEASE !!!!
Nobody here is engineer at LG. And nobody here has any real solution for GPS / 2G / 3G fix. Looks like GPS breaks again even after sending it to repair. This LG G5 has been the crappiest phone I ever bought. I'll be buying a G6 soon.

The 3pins in the video are for the Volume buttons. The REAL GPS antenna are the ones next to the headphone jack.
So far I experimented that the cell antennas lies at the top of the phone since covering the top-middle section of the phone Cell signal drops.
Maybe the plastic shim you put in is too thick that it's interfere with other internal components, like the black RF antenna ribbon that runs across the top section of the G5. See if removing the plastic piece resolves the problem
Hi guys,
Just want to let you know that I gave the phone to a service and they found out that I broke some of the pins even without noticing. That is why this problem occured! They were able to replace them so now my phone is live and kicking again with full network coverage on all bands (2g,3g,4g). So happy with it ! So go ahead and bring your phones to a repair service center and make sure it will be a good one! First I went to affiliate LG service and they told me that most of the things are unrepairable and will have to change the whole motherboard which costs as a new phone so I lost any hope fixing it but later a friend of mine recommended another service where the guy told me he will inspect all the parts of the phone and will call me if he finds anything suspicious or broken. So I left the phone and after 2 days he called back and told me that 4 pins were broken and 2 more damaged and bent badly. He also told me he thinks that if we change them the problem should be solved so I agreed and he did fantastic work on the phone and now works as new !
So don't be disappointed and find a good service where they can try to help you. Also when you are doing some mods to your phones please be very careful!! I confess that I wasn't careful while doing the mod - I was at work and even didn't had the necessary tools for the task, also the colleagues were around and distracting me so I wasn't able to focus entirely on the task and did more harm than good! Good luck !
Thread may be closed, problem solved !
Hello,
I like this device. After 2 weeks of usage I found one bug. But it is an known issue. The same issue happens on my Nexus 5x. When I have an incoming message, I read it and wipe it from the Notification panel. The same message pops ups again.
The second big is the signal drops on WiFi. When I have the smartphone in my hand, I see that the WiFi signal strength goes down. When the XZ1 is on an table the strength is good. I test it on the same position in the room.

Second one looks like a common issue due to antenna positioning. It is not a software bug. Your hand is just "blocking" the WiFi receiver, try with the other hand to see if the signal improves. This is a sadly common issue with many other phones, sometimes affects the network signal, sometimes the WiFi, it all depends on the antenna design.

Yes I think this is the problem with the WiFi reciever position. I have report it. Maybe the design would be better in the feature.
