im in dallas, tx and got the c6802 delivered yesterday and this thing is horrendously slow, as im only getting edge speeds...
the carrier i'm using is straight talk/at&t...the odd thing is, i can't find anyone else who's experiencing this problem...all the reviews and people a see online, and some here in the dallas area, are all attaining 3g speeds with this device...
i've changed and tweaked the apn settings to no avail...
i had the international version of the note2 and didn't experience any problems with this service...
any advice/tips to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated or if this thread can serve as a warning to others who are contemplating purchasing this device, so be it...
I have had mine for a few weeks in nyc with same issue. I have net10... I have to wait till they support it. Still not formally released here yet.

Not that it has to be WCDMA only, but if under this mode you do not get any mobile data connection, then maybe u need to go into service menu and check under there...

call your providor. They will send you a message that is embedded with an file to install. This will configure your HSPA settings correctly.
Then reboot phone, and then you are good to go. I have to do it everytime I buy an international phone as the settings are slightly off.

Hi,
This isn't phone related but Im hoping someone could still help me?
I signed up to my phone provider on the understanding that i would get 7.2mbps. I know this is always "up to" but i have only been able to get on average 0.3mbps. I realise there are factors like signal strength and network coverage etc but i have done some tests with 7 other people on the same provider and they get equally poor speeds. I have done many tests from different locations and they are all poor.
So can anyone tell me what the deal is with "up to 7.2mbps" ? Can they provide 20 times less speed 0.3 mbps and still claim "up to 7.2mbps"? Is this sufficient to get out of my contract?
I did some tests from another network provider at the same time and they were running at 4.5mbps.
0.3mbps is painfully slow and simply not worth having
Im in Britain, are there any regulations that govern this "up to" business? 2 months and always less than 0.5mbps, rubbish!!

Best speedtest yet with this build. ([ROM] I9100XILA2)
If other people around you are also having poor speed, then there's nothing you can do. Your provider's network simply sucks and you're better off subscribing somewhere else.
Yeh those speeds are what i should be getting
And yes clearly the network provider doesn't have enough capacity, but Im locked in for 10 more months :s - in fact their helpdesk told me the network was at capacity, but as far as Im concerned that's not my problem and not what Im paying for, but the point is... Can i dump them with 10 months left?

Now this may not be the case with you but if it is T-Mob or Orange UK or some other UK networks then the thread below may enlighten you. This may not apply to other countries but does apply to third party contract purchases and most new T-Mobile purchases.

Some people have gotten out of there fixed line broadband contracts due to misleading "upto" ratings, but not mobile broadband as far as I know, the T&C's normally say that they guarantee nothing, not even signal. Its a shame. 3UK have good speeds, but whenever I try to tether it lags all to ****, and they ALLOW you to tether.
Im pretty sure there networks just mega overloaded, there's lots of nights where my upload speed is higher than my download, meaning the backhall to the tower doesn't have enough bandwidth.

Reading through your thread just made me sick! I don't care how they put it but you can't call those speeds 3g!
Just as ISPs can't call dial-up speeds / latency
Luckily T-Mobile increased their speed cap for 3rd parties to 1mb.. But, wait for it, if you go direct you get a whole whopping 2mb!!! Wow!!
Put it this way.. I'm never getting another T-Mobile contract, you should see the speeds you get with 3 (UK)
Thanks for the links and advice. Its a good point, should go find the t&c's and nail it down.
My phone and contract are supplied as one from a supposedly reputable Telco. So my guess is that they have oversubscribed on their network and hoped no one would notice... That ain't gonna fly

Ouch. I thought I was getting good internet speed on T-Mobile UK on my S2 but after doing a speedtest I'm barely getting 1mb down and 0.5mb up :-/
When my phone, on 3UK kicks into gear (H+) and the network isnt lagging to hell I get.
433kBps down 207kBps up (The bytes per second) aka 3.39Mbps/1.62Mbps

Yes modem is one of the biggest on phone factors in connection strength and speed.
I phoned up to cancel my contract because of the problems and they said i had to go to the shop to find out what was going on. I did that and they told me they were unaware of any issues. Denial! And there is a new cell going up to"this week"... Really... Well we'll see

I am going through this as well......and the only answer that even remotely helps is using different modems....i was at 200-300kbps ALL the time.
i started flashing modems and found that got up to around 3-4 mbps on a good run but thats still high for me. its the main reason i am thinking of getting the US varient.
i was expecting to see at least a CONSISTANT 4-6 Mbps and i am struggling to keep a strong 2-3 and it makes surfing and downloading apps and files a drag.
if anyone has any other thoughts i would love to try them out.

If its anything like Tmobile, the pay as you go plans lack roaming. So your signal will suffer. My buddy found this out after picking up a pay as you go plan. Call the network and ask if they have roaming on your plan. Then call a few more times to get a general consensus lol.

Good day all!
I've been experiencing some issues since I got my C6806 3 weeks ago. I live in Toronto and my provider is Rogers. The phone itself is unlocked and is just running the stock software which is 4.2.2, build # 14.1.B.2.257
Ever since I got the phone I've had a periodic issue where the phone signal strength will just completely die out to 0 bars, then it'll come back to full bars about 30 seconds later. It happens whether I'm home or out on the road. It happens if I'm using LTE bands or 3G or HSPA. It also happens whether I've got wifi on or off.
Any troubleshooting steps you could suggest?
Thanks in advance!

It seems to happen on a frequent basis. At least a couple of times a day when I happen to be paying attention to my phone.
I've never actually used stamina mode, and it's always been off.
How's LTE and HSPA where you are? If the signal is poor it'll switch over to the next thing on ladder. If you have a poor LTE signal it'll jump down to HSPA, and if you have a poor signal on that one it'll jump down to EDGE. It's the same dance if you walk into an area where there is good LTE coverage. It jump up from EDGE or HSPA to LTE, and iin all cases when it switches, you'll notice a couple of seconds where it connects to the new frequency (by having zero signal). That's why I disable LTE when I know I'm going to be in an area with poor LTE signal for a long period of time.
Not saying that this is your problem, but try only using EDGE for a couple of hours and see if it happens again.

LTE and HSPA coverage by Rogers in Toronto is great overall. I don't really use the LTE APN because it seems to suck up battery life immensely. I just keep it in the normal APN that seems to switch randomly between HSPA and 3G. The issue can occur if I'm just sitting still in a spot. I'm using it, and all of a sudden the signal just cuts out for about 30 seconds and comes back. Both before and after the incident I am usually at full bars.
I'm unsure of what EDGE is. The only things I control are the APNs I obtained from Rogers - one is just the standard one that gives me 3G and HSPA, and the other is LTE.
Dunno what else I can really do. I doubt it's my provider so it's gotta be the phone. Any other real troubleshooting steps to try, or should I just get this to Sony?

EDGE is 2G. so turn off LTE and HSPA+ and see if it does it.
I don't have the LTE equipped phone so I'm not sure if these hardware functions will switch on and off randomly.
It sounds like your hardware is switching between 4g and 3g. problem is that both wont work simultaneously, so you would get this drop off. solution is that build prop edit i gave you.
But then you'd have 4g on all the time. so if you don't want that then turn it off manually.
Try these.
Edit your build.prop file.
(do you know how to do this??)
and insert these.
___________
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=20
ro.ril.hsupa.category=7
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
______________
that will stop hardware switching between 2g/3g/4g
as well as make it faster.
Settings->More...->Mobile Networks->Network Mode->GSM Only
You'll still have mobile data, but it will be SLOW. I think the top speed is around 400KB/sec, but you'll only use this to check if your signal is more stable without 3G/4G.
Tip: If you want to save battery and you aren't the type that uses a lot of mobile data, use EDGE (the thing i'm currently writing about). 4G uses a lot of juice.

Just gotta say holy crap this Edge thing is SO slow. Even just loading icons on Google Plus or Youtube searches takes forever. A mobile speed test is showing about 133 kbps...
Damn... gotta come up with a better solution that doesn't require having slow as shyte data access
I'm trying WCDMA only to see how this might work. At least the speeds are more tolerable there.

Yeah, but keep using it for now. You're only checking if the signal drops while your on it, so I'm not saying that you should keep using it. It's only for a couple of hours. You can do it!

I'm not using the stock messaging app. I'm using Hangouts as my main SMS app, but I didn't have any issues with it when I used it. The Android 4.3 update is released now, so you can update to it through PC Companion? Note that this will remove root and stuff like if you're rooted. If not, go ahead.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just want to say that I'm having the exact same issue. I thought it might have occurred after I installed a custom room but I'm now back on stock and still experiencing 4 bars immediately dropping to no service and then going back to 3 or 4 bars before slowly dropping back to zero. I figured it could be LTE, so I experimented with all settings under mobile networks to no avail. I try the same Sim in my note 2 in the same location and I have no issues. I believe this is an issue with the antenna or a general hardware fault. My phone is the c6806, originally on Bell but being used on Telus. I have already contacted Sony but they are giving me the runaround
Anyone know how the warranty is handled in Canada? Anyone else have this problem?
Signal issues

Hi everyone
I'm the proud owner of a LGV30+ (Hong Kong seller on ebay) and using it on O2 here in the UK.
Phone is fantastic - very happy with it and big improvement on my Nexus 6p. I miss stock android but have removed most of the bloat and installed pixel launcher and it's all looking good.
My one problem though is that I used to get rock solid 4g reception at home. The LGv30+ on the other hand keeps dropping from 4g, down to 3g, then back up to 4g again. It's driving me nuts! Phone is fine when I'm in town but just when I'm at home it is doing this. O2 say there are no problems with the mast in my area, and when I put my SIM back into my Nexus 4g was solid as a rock.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Many thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi - cheers for replying so quick. Yes the data was doing this before I touched the bloat situation. Only just started addressing bloat this evening and I've only removed a handful of apps thus far...just obvious ones like Calendar, Clock, Contacts, Gallery and Email so far....
I should also add that the reception is solid 4G when I'm in town - it's just when I'm at home When i put SIM back in my old Nexus 6p, the reception is fine so I don't think it is the SIM

Do a backup, then go into the dialer and put in *#546368#*(Put your model number here with no parenthesis, like mine would be 932)#
Try to see if you can turn on all the bands this way?
I'm not sure if that will help but it's worth trying I think.

Cool! Glad you fixed it. That would be very hard to diagnose!
I had to go into my AT&T APN to confirm it's already on IPv4. I have IPv6 disabled on my wi-fi router as well as my PC, and I have apps on my current rooted phone to disable IPv6 over Wi-Fi for when I am connected to other Wi-Fi networks. Why? I have my reasons, but it does no harm and actually may do some good. Not only in your case but others:

Slight hijack here. I'm waiting for this phone to come to Taiwan, as I'm wanting to dump my HTC 10 because of it's awful battery and WiFi. I'm guessing many will have followed this route as audiophiles. As there is no mention in these threads of WiFi issues I'm guessing it's strong/not an issue. So, anyone come from a 10, and are now happy with the V30 radios?
Very happy, but I had no issue, even on Wi-Fi, with my HTC10 either (Taiwan version too). Radios are just fine.
Slight update to my issue....
I thought I had it fixed but then the problem returned. After spending ages trying to work out the problem, my girlfriend noticed that the same issue was happening on her iPhone! So I think it's a mast issue... And o2 are reporting a problem with the mast in my area. So hopefully will be resolved in due course.
Other than that, absolutely delighted with this phone. Only minor gripe is that I don't have Volte or WiFi calling as I don't have carrier firmware...i have ordered sims from all the major UK carriers tho to see if it works with any of them.

Please keep us updated. I'm specifically interested if it can access volte on the 3 network as if it can it gives you access to their band 20 4g which is stronger
Funnily enough, I have literally just popped in the Three SIM and at the moment no band 20 at home
Had a painful web chat with three so just gave up asking.
Out later tonight tho so will check if it works in town...
I should also add that I've tried EE with no joy too.
Only thing I can say thus far tho is that x-network HD voice seems to be pretty good. I have done 02->ee (HD voice) and ee->o2. Haven't tried three yet as have zilcho reception at home (seems the mast in my area is affecting all the networks... and I actually drove past them putting a new one up this morning...)

A late reply to this post. Made the transition from HTC10 -> LGV30 for the same reasons: audiophile quality and poor battery life of the 10. The V30 radio performance is awful. I am on AT&T in San Francisco using the H931 variant. I often stream hi-res audio (320k MP3 or FLAC) from the EU and many places. The radio connection drops frequently, stream apps become unusable. It either clears itself after minutes of delay or I force the phone into airplane mode and back on. Quite annoying. I am also suspecting AT&T deliberately messing with the radio settings for people who stream a lot.
Just a note that i am with 3 and they have an app that you can download and it allows you to make calls over wifi. The app is called three in touch.
