Cant post screenshots as i dont have enough posts
Can anyone post screenshots of there signal from gsam please, i never had this issue before and i have tested with 3 sims, 2 on o2 and 1 on three, the Xpera S has the same issue with all the sims and the older P500 runs solid.

Could the Sony signal be the 3g signal. Reason I ask is my current U and the Tipo both displayed the 3g signal then only when no signal switched to displaying the 2g signal, whereas previous handsets I have had have just shown the strongest signal

My stock ROM consistently changes the icon in correspondence to which signal it is currently using, and it blacks out when it has no signal. So i don't think your S is displaying only 3G signal..

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Rather than displaying the strongest signal it displays the signal it is currently connected to (3g) even when the 2g signal is much stronger.

This.
Let me explain it.
2g = more bars
3g/h = less bars
It is possible that your carrier doesnt support gsm with only 3g. So its automatiqly connecting to 2g(more bars).

I wonder if only my ray or all ray's has poor signal reception. Time from time while I'm talking with smb. my call simply hangs up. And as far as I noticed this happens when the signal reception is a bit lower or not very stable. In places where signal is weak (outside the city) my wife's dumb phone Nok1a got better signal with 1-2 bars, while ray no signal at all.
I've was using .42 firmware for a long time, tried 4.0.3 beta, now using MIUI based on 2.3.7 and still have the same problem, what makes me think that's not software related issue.
What about your phones ? Am I only who has this problem ?
Do you both have the same network operator? I can easily say that my ray has better reception than my girlfriends x10 mini pro. Some exterior phone protections weaken the reception as well.

I don't know, whether the signal strength is better now, but the batterylife is much longer!
for me,
sometime the signal is great..greater than other devices...
but some other time, at certain area, it has no signals at all while other devices have it although we are using the same network operator...
but i don't really care about it cuz i think the signals is so much better than my previous device...

I had "dumb phone" Sony Ericsson k850i (which amusingly enough used to be called a "smart phone" lol), an x10 and now Ray and they all get the same signal on AT&T in the same places. Most places I am it's full signal, a handful get less... but has been consistent across devices.
I only used the x10 (not mini or pro) as my main phone for less than 6 months (free upgrade w/ contract for refurbished) and still tinker with it but for my hands I felt it was nifty but big and clunky, so I bought an unlocked Ray (2-3 months ago). I've lived/worked and hung out in the same places, so I figure it's a pretty good comparison.
TLDR: no problems with signal for me.
Yep, my ray is having low signal reception too.. that yellow triangle always appears. I think is a hardware bugs to bad. I want too switch xperia P but still don't believe they already fix the bugs for signal prob. and. xperia p is not on coming for ICS in the few weeks later.
I've notice while using the cell tower polling monitor of the Llama application that my Ray drops the signal. It shows in the log as Cell: -1:-1:-1 (ignored) No signal/Unknown. I live and work in a big city were the signal strength is very strong and were there are 4 to 6 cell towers all around me (at work or at home).
The lost of signal is very short (a second or two) but actually drop a call once.
I have base band 203028D-64 and running Android version 2.3.4.
Since I don't want to update to version 4.0.3 as there is too many people complaining about lagging problems. I will try to update the base band to 203028D-66 and come back here for results with the Llama log.

Don' remove Sim Toolkit.apk
I have to reinstall ROM due to signal problem after removing sim toolkit.apk
While searching on how to ugrade the baseband for my ST18a, I came across another thread about this issue on the Sony's Forum.
If you go to Menu - Wireless & network setting - Mobile Network - Network Mode and change to GSM only, it will give you better reception.
I have tested and validated it with the "Network Signal Info" & Llama App.
The reception signal improved dramatically and no drop calls yet.
Notice you will be on the 2G network if you have a Data Plan (which is not my case) but you can always change the network back to WCDMA-GSM when you need faster data download speeds.
Mine GS3 is always connected the mobile networks with H - it will flick up to H+ is that is available. While the phone is dormant should it drop down to 3G to save power?
It doesn't, so I'm trying to work out it there is something syncing in the back ground keeping the H connection alive or if Fast Dormancy should be turned off.
Thanks
I'm on T-Mobile (UK)
Idle (fast dormancy) is a HSPA tech and thus does not drop out of Hspa - at least according to the graph; in reality the connection is cut.

So this means it stays on H, but with no connection, it reconnects when it needs to?

See this is what I thought should happen. Mine is just sitting here on H, doing nothing. I'm not too concerned, because battery is great, but I'd like to resolve it if I can!

It just depends on your network & towers.
For years at home my Samsung phones (S1, S2 & now S3) have been on 3g when idle but over the last month it stays on H. This is due to a tower upgrade.
At a friends place it idles at H+ and at my parent's house it idles on 3g. So nothing to worry about.

Hi all! First post in the Alpha section... Got my Alpha the other day. And i love all about it. But there is one thing thats gets me wondering. It's the reception. All my previous phones got good reception at home.. i get 1-2 bars. So my question is. Does anybody experience this issue? I have experienced SMS delays and chipped calls.

It could just be a faulty device... I'll try replacing my sim first. If that's the issue.
If that's not working. I'll have it replaced.
Edit: Had my sim replaced. Still experiencing bad reception. It goes as low as -105dbm... where my z2 had around -70 (same network, same location)... that's bad. Any ideas what I can do to solve this?
Yeah keep me updated - my Alpha also seems to have noticeably weaker reception than my iPhone on 4G (800mhz band).
Hoping its a modem firmware/software power output thing and not a hardware thing.
Same here, looks like the reception is 1-2 bars worse than other phones.
But I have no experience of delayed SMS or failed calls and the speeds on internet is very good.

Signal problems
Hi, I'm on my second Alpha and first sim, I have an alternative sim yet to try but have chated on Twitter with another user who found no improvement with a new sim and changed phones completely. I'm with three. My signal goes completely when I'm sitting with other three users whose phones work fine. I think it's a phone fault and am considering sending it back now.
Hi guys,
I noticed something interesting with my Alpha:
As you, I have a poor signal strength. But when calling someone then the signal bar jump to full force instantly!
Could it be a link with BIG little technology?

Well, for those who have the same problem, I deactivated the 4G. Then the signal strength is better. I made the test: 2 bars with 4G enabled in network settings, full signal when 3G only.
As a possible future Alpha owner, question.
Are you on a USA Network with the Qualcomm Alpha ?
Or in Europe on Exynos Octacore ?

The alpha is my second LTE able phone. Both showed a completely different signal bar reading when using LTE (and checking in lecture, how Signal strength is meassured for GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/LTE it shows, that LTE uses a completely revised scheme to calculate the signal strength)
I haven't made any speed measurements yet, but my feeling is:
(4G) With LTE, even without any highlighted bar i can use internet, webpages load fast, other lookups work.
(3G,3.5G) With H/H+ , and at least 1 bar highlighted, internet works
(2.5G) Edge and at least 1 to two bars, internet is available... three bars are better for it to be worthwhile
(2G) G only - forget it. I'll need 4 bars to surf the web, and i must wait. Chat works if i'm lucky and got at least 1-2 bars.
Apart from that: the signal bars in 2G and 3G show the strength of the signal - but aren't any measure of the quality of the signal. They show anything that sends on the frequency/timeslot of the 2G/3G signal you're receiving. If you've got heavy interferences, you'll get full bars but it all is static.
(Like - in a disco, you've got loud music, and people speaking very loudly to you - that would be full bars, but not the best place to speak to each other....)
I don't understand exactly what the value used by 4G exactly means, but it sounds like it only represents the LTE cell you do want to receive - so it should be more accurate and cutting out the noise somehow
I think you're right ! This is my feeling too. In 4G calls are always perfect for me even with one bar.
In settings we can also have a more accurate highlight on to the signal strength in Db.
Guys this alpha is full of mysteriousness !
I think samsung did it ON purpose.. ! Save battery??
I have weaker signal too.. on iphone 5 is full and i had on my former Honor 6 full as hell..
But I dont konw IF samsung wants to save power by this .. I think it has no much influence as iphone 5 nor Honor 6 had full signal and battery never got down fast.. when I had Honor 6 100% at night it was 98 % in morning..
Another thing with aplha ,when i leave phone in sleep half hour or longer , th emobile network stops and wont come up...
I have to restart phone or turn airplane on ad off.. then H+ or 4G appears..
I have the issue with mobile data too, it seems to also do it when it has been on WiFi for a while and you change to mobile data.
no service
Hey guys,
I have a very bad reception with my Samsung Galaxy Alpha when i'm in the subway in Paris. To be honnest I have no service, no sms, no calls, and for sure no internet...
I can see people using their smartphones inside the subway without problems.
I had an iPhone 4 during 3 years, and didn't have any problem with it when I was in the subway.
I'm using the same phone carrier "Bouygues Telecom"
So what's wrong with this Galaxy Alpha ?

Hey people,
I'm also having connection issues:
When I boot the phone it's working is at should: Switching between 4G/3G/EDGE etc. After a while the connection sort of times out. I can only make emergency calls. It works flawlessly for up to a day, or it can only work for like 5 minutes.
Rebooting the device fixes this temporarily. My service provider (Hi in NL) has already sent me a new simcard which doesn't help. They are now saying I should send it over for repair.
Btw: When i leave it in CDMA only, the problem takes much longer to arise (like a couple of days).
I can see that people who have posted in this thread are having the same issues. I'm wondering if this is firmware or hardware related, as I want avoid sending over my phone. If it IS a firmware bug, sending it over for repair obviously isn't going to fix this.
I have sent an e-mail to Samsung BeNeLux. Like Simona Simmy says, we should all write to Samsung
Hi,
I recently bought a black z5c from handtec and I'm currently using it on US T-Mobile.
I think I have the apn settings set correctly but I'm only getting one bar for LTE here in LA, even outside with no buildings.
HSPA, however, has strong signal. Any recommendations?

I get very good signal with mine. Even with one bar I get good speeds (tested via speedtest).
You can just use the download internet settings under networks/more if you are worry about using the wrong apn settings.

Reception issue or perceived reception
I am having the same issue, but on AT&T. My model is the E5823, black. I have been swapping my sim card back and forth between the z5c and my Nexus 5 and have noticed that the nexus will have full bars of LTE while the z5c will have maybe one bar. More importantly, though--the db reading from the phones are almost exactly the same and the download speeds are very similar as well. So I think this may not be a reception issue in my case, but an issue with how the z5c displays reception vs how the nexus 5 does. The nexus 5 with full bars should having blazing LTE speed. Sadly, both of these phones are giving me barely 3 mb download speeds. I think AT&T may be having an issue in my area but I can't get a customer service rep to acknowledge it.
I hope I'm right--I'm loving this phone despite the terrible (possibly perceived) reception. I have downloaded an app called real signal and it shows a more accurate reading of actual reception and it is confirming my suspicion.

I'm glad to hear that. This was driving me nuts thinking I'd have to return a phone that I imported and eat a 15% restocking fee. It's also really the only small phone I had my eye on once I saw that the Nexus 5X would be just as big as the regular sized Xperia Z5.
I'm experiencing something similar. I think I have 1 less bar of 4G signal in every place compared to my previous phone. But the phone still works great and seems to not drain more battery regarding this.
But the "time without signal %" is considerably lower than before. (Still. This could be just because of the bad 2G/3G signal at home, which is terrible and is improved now).
Also. Im now getting 4G+ signal (I think it's based on CAT 6). But maybe the strength is just the same as with 4G.
One more thing:
I bought my phone in Italy but I'm using it in Spain. Could that be an issue? I dont think so...because in Europe the LTE bands are almost the same everywhere.
Also. What would happen if we disable all other LTE bands from other countries? Could that help?

I got a Z5 compact and I'm definitely getting poorer reception than my previous phone (2013 Moto X) on AT&T. Not just the display, but I find more calls going to voicemail from my apartment than before.
I think it's just the way sony is translating actual signal strength to bars displayed. On WCDMA it looks correct, but on LTE bars are always low even though reception and signal is fine.

H or H+ is your data network displaying that you are using HSPA technology for internet on your phone.
Don't know about the signal strength...

When u have more than 2 bars , it's pretty sure that your voice quality is good for the peer .

You don't need to worry about the icon my friend .
There were different bandwidths even in 3g networks. When u see H+ icon , it was sure that u are getting better speed over Normal 3g network("H" in your case) .

i put the launcher because i have no idea what the issue is/was. all i know is that i get good internet {lte} full bars
and then in the same location when i receive or make a call it drops to one or two bars and the call comes out barely audible,
especially when im in my vehicle and i start to drive

So what I understood is , signal drops to minimum when you got a call and comes to normal when you disconnect the call .
If I am right , just do one thing ..
Take a logcat before making a call and after attempting the call save it and send me or baDeamon in PM .

No need for a logcat .
the issue is that he had a 4g LTE and while getting a call network will switch to 3g or 2g and normally it will drop cause each basband have different strength !..
its normal and If u have bad reception means the 2g or 3g network is not good that area !..

But I din't mean that , I was assuming that his network signal loose strength on the same network (H in his case ) ..

loosing the strength of network always depend on network strength only . if he can got a LTE Then he have no issue with software

This is true . but I thought to confirm this by seeing his logs . coz we can't judge something directly without proper investigation
Correct , I believe he need to read about using logcat first ! am assuming he have no idea about that already !.
