I upgraded from my trusty HTC Desire to the Desire X about a month ago and its been great apart from one issue. During calls the line will cut out for approx 10-15 seconds before coming back on. It happens fairly frequently 1+ times per call and is really annoying as I use the phone for work calls as well. Unsure if anyone else has experienced this problem?? I haven't changed providers or sims so don't think that's the issue. The phone is rooted but still with stock everything. Would appreciate any ideas on this.
Cheers
It might be a hardware issue. If you have warranty go to a service center. They will probably give you a new phone.
The reception on my Desire X is better than on my Sensation XE
ive got an s3 which constantly drops out.
im currently using the Telstra network in Australia which is a pretty good network.
my old phone was a htc sensation xe and i never had any issues with it on the same network.
Since a purchased this phone i constantly get call drop outs at random times even though i have full reception.
I have the latest firmware and im still getting the same issue.
My wife also has an s3 and having the same issue.
Im wondering if anyone may have a solution for this as i really like this phone but its really annoying not being able to use it.

hi
i have bought a jiayu g3 from china. from pandawill.
i am having really bad problems getting the internet or gps to work properly using network. wifi is perfect and very fast.
i have tried so many different apn settings but nothing is working as it should.
gps only ever worked once after i left it going for about half an hour but then i moved and it gave up again.
i changed from giff gaff( o2 ) and am now using virgin (t-mobile and orange). no better.
while i was at work i turned 3g off and the internet worked on face book but not accu weather or ebay or mail. i have turned it off and on again but nothing at all now.
as a phone and while using wifi its a lovely phone and would be over the moon if i could get it working as it should before i give up and put a hammer to it. ive had it for about 6 weeks now and this is driving me potty searching and trying new things to no avail.
i was thinking of sending it to someone on ebay to root it but i dont know if that is the answer.
it is running android 4.0.4
its dual sim and i am using the "w" slot.
getting despondent now.....
any ideas will be gratefully received.
thanks
also, how do i get a signature on here so i can put my phone details on?
i had a desire s previously and the internet and gps was fantastic so i know its not an area thing.
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.

In that case there is only one way to sloved problem
Call sony xperia department let them fix it or replace new one. Don't even think phone can repair itself
Same problem
My sisters got the same problem,
Help line, Tech team no help what so ever !!!
Been on the phone for over 2 weeks !!!
They wont solve the problem what so ever !
One tech team even said "buy a new phone" !! such great customer service !!
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...
I recently bought a new HTC One M8 (AT&T) off of eBay. When it came i set it up and it was still on KitKat 4.4.2. The WiFi had some weird problems on that, but i just chalked it up to it being an old OS. I manually updated to 6.0 using the AT&T RUU tool from HTCs website, and everything looked to be fine, until i got to the setup. When it asked me to select a WiFi network, i selected the one that is the router in my room. Come to find out that unless the phone is pointed directly at the router and less then a foot away from it, i get 1-2 bars, or nothing at all. It barely connects (or even shows) any of the access points in my house either, and when it does they all say 1-2 bars. I still have my old HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) and the wifi works perfect on there, full/strong connection anywhere in the house, and it shows all the access points in my house. I have no idea whats going on, i already tried wiping the cache partition, and factory resetting.
P.S. I don't have a plan for mobile, so mobile data is turned off already (on both phones). Help?
I don't think there is much else you can do. If you did RUU, and still having WiFi problems, the device may have a hardware issue.
