As the title suggests, all of a sudden my wifi and data signals are very weak, wifi being the most affected. If I'm not 15 ft from my router the phone is barely working over wifi. I have a galaxy s7 on the same network and it is not being affected by any slow speeds.
Any suggestions as to what is causing this poor signals all of a sudden?

Maybe it would be a good idea to post this in the Ressurection Remix thread then
Flash stock Rom. If problem persists it's hardware related.
Thanks I'll try that.

Clean up your network router
I struggled with the same problem off and on and I think I finally figured it out. In my research I discovered that routers cater to the weaker signals by boosting power to them and robbing it from other devices. I changed my network password on my wireless router and logged in with my laptop. I got screaming fast speeds where before I was getting nothing. Of course I was the only device logged on. I then went around the house and reconnected all of my devices to the network with the new password. With a family of five, we have nearly 20 devices connected at the same time. I still have blazing speeds. I also deactivated the "guest" account on the router. I suspect that a neighbor or one of the kids' friends was connected when they came over and the router was still connected when they went home, thus stretching the signal to reach them. Anyhow, I essentially "cleaned" my network of any old or stray devices and I am enjoying full speed access on all my devices that were constantly buffering or cutting out. It won't boost your signal but it should clean up how your signal is shared. Hope it helps.
Check ur firmware. It may be due to old modem
"Prefer 3G" doesn't connect to data network - known issue confirmed by mi hotline
Hi,
I noticed recently that if i select "prefer 3G" from "preferred network type" then the data connectivity is lost. I use airtel network in Bangalore where 4g is good however in my native, 4g network is not that great and in my previous phone it uses hsdpa (3g) most of the times.
I called up the MI India hotline to check if my poco phone is having this isolated issue since i didn't see anyone else complaining. The customer care executive confirmed that it's a known issue and they are working on it. Could other poco phone users confirm that they see the issue?
Regards,
Sudhakar.
3g problem
I've been using xiaomi for 2 years. Most of the phones have 3g problems. There is no connection with H + icon. It's not 10 minutes. If you turn off the mobile data or plane mode, it comes on. Mi4, mi5, mi6, redmi note 4, redmi 5 plus, all MIUI version and android 6-7-8. I've seen problems with these devices and versions. It only happens when you connect with 3g. or 3g preferential. an annoying problem.
Thanks for confirming.
I have quite a lot of problems with this phone.
1. As of now the 4g/LTE is not working too. This happened 2 weeks earlier as well. The service center guys updated the phone to latest and did factory reset. Then it started working. Now again today the 4g/LTE data not working. The phone is on latest software and i even did a factory reset still not working.
2. Many times people told me that my phone is not reachable. During those times even outgoing calls were not happening until i switch to 2g manually.
3. As mentioned already data does not work on 3g.
I had so much expectations on this phone. But now disappointed.

I haven't had troubles, but I don't use data a lot.
I have the Prefer 3G setting enabled.
hmm i have issues on mine 3g sim data card as well . need to on/off mobile data from time to time
Hi,
I have Asus zenfone max pro m2 phone with airtel sim. At my home, I get almost zero connectivity (both voice and data), all the time. It works perfectly fine in other places, but, I think it might not still be the best though, I do see some minor drops in connectivity every now and then, in other places too.
I placed the sim in another phone(redmi note 4g) at my home. It gets good voice and data connectivity (4g with decent speed). So I think the problem might not be with the sim. It should either be with the phone or something to do with airtel's cell towers.
I have attached the screenshots of phone information in both the cases (my phone with no connection and redmi note 4g which has good connection)
I think the reason might be either the phone has a bad radio/modem hardware or software. Or there might be problems with connecting to some cell towers. I think there are more than one cell tower nearby and somehow my phone is ending up not being connected to either(something to do with cell tower handoff!?). I sometimes see the phone getting connected to 4g/edge, but quickly drops. I do have JIO sim and it works fine. I have tried several things, both basic(switching sim cards, placing only one sim card, reset network, reboot etc etc.) and advanced(trying out different roms, locking bands with network signal guru), but no luck, anyone facing similar problem or has any solution? If its some kinda software problem, I can try flashing some software(kernel/modem?), I have my phone rooted.
Thanks in advance
Hello all,
I started to have some problems with signal strength.
It's not ROM-related (currently the newest CrDroid).
If I cut my WiFi and set the phone to prefer LTE signal sometimes I'm not able to use data. It's constantly switching between LTE / LTE+.
Sometimes it will connect and it's fine but most of the time it isn't.
It only happens in places when the signal is poor.
If I set the phone to prefer 3G it works perfectly normal.
My gf got the same phone and didn't experience that issue.
I believe that for some time after I received this phone it worked normally.
Maybe it's firmware related issue?
I heard about an issue with the poor signal on this phone...
Thank You in the advance for your answers.
Been noticing that my signal drops more than normal at home and at work since swithching to the xperia, Used to have both a Note10+5g which would get consitant 5g at full signal, and the same for my Oneplus 9Pro, But with the xperia ill get 1-2bars 5g in the same room if it hasnt dropped to 4G at 2 bar or 3G.

Just switched from OP10 Pro to Sony and I noticed this same thing. With my OP10 Pro I usually got very good signal, but with Xperia the signal is very poor.
Me as well, especially on WiFi. My router supports only WiFi 4 and I get poor signal if not directly next to the router.

I switched from Nothing Phone 1 to Sony and I noticed this same thing. With my NP1 I usually had a very excellent signal,
Okay glad it's not just me, but I wonder why it's like that now
Phew, I am not alone. Mine works poorly with Wifi 6. Any ideas to fix?
I've noticed this also, and the Bluetooth connection (with Sony's WH-1000XM4 and WF-1000XM3) is also very weak.

I have noticed this bluetooth issue only when screen is Off? How about you?
I'm also switching from xperia 1 to 1 IV and bought a metal frame case for the phone with a lower signal, the signal has dropped even more I don't use a case anymore
Unfortunately, the GPS signal is weak a lot of times and stops navigating.

Will this signal issue be fixed with an upgrade?
I do hope that Sony will fix these soon.
Signals should not be an issue in 2022. However, be aware that the GPS is only a single-band one, despite some specs around the net.

Hi, I just realized the solution.
Please install voWIFI app via play store, disable DSDS, and you are done!
If you totally missed your Antenna, be sure that u are using the first sim slot for your sim card

I'll see if this does anything, initally it looks like it did nothing but it's too early to tell as it could just be where I am right now

Same here. It looks so nice with metal case. Call quality not that great also
Metal cases do degrade network signal very much. be it of any kind, GPS, carrier signals, Bluetooth and WI FI.
Sony uses its signal scale in quality, the rest of the companies in power.
I didn't get a 1 IV until the Android 13 release, upgrading from a 5 III. I also use a work iPhone 11 regularly. I'm in the US and my phones are all US market models, and I live in a large metropolitan area. Both of my phones are in carbon fiber cases with metal in them. Here are my observations, which seem to be more positive than what is posted here.
Wifi: My home network is Wifi 6, and the signal on the 1 IV is usually weaker than the iPhone 11. But, it's only by 1 or 2 dbm, per the data from my router. However, if you run a speedtest on both phones, the Xperia 1IV always gives a higher Mbps reading than the iPhone.
BT: I have WF-1000XM3 and M4s and both work fine on both phones. I can get further away from the phone with either headphones from the iPhone than the Xperia, but the Xperia works fine if it's sitting next to me or in my pocket. No issues with connecting to other devices like speakers or car stereos.
Cellular: My 1 IV is on T-Mobile, while my iPhone is on Verizon, so hard to compare there. However, my wife has an iPhone 14 Pro Max on T-Mobile, and in spot comparisons, my Xperia gets better reception and faster data connectivity. When I'm on 5G, my Xperia regularly gets over 1Gbps download speeds, even without full bars on the signal meter.
I am from Croatia and I have very poor 3G signal, 2G, 4G and 5G signals are OK so in my home there is no 3G signal at all and I am not available because my network doesnt have VoLTE. I am on 64.1.A.0.882 firmware. Before I would have signal problems but restart would fix that. Now, after restart nothing is fixed. Till now I reset my phone 2 times and it was on service repair because of fingerprint sensor. 2 days ago everything was OK. I don't know what is going on. Is there any fix? Could this be Google Play System problem? Because yesterday I got another Google Play System update of 9 MB for March and around that time this problem started and I don't see any fix.
I manage to solve problem. I call this code in the phone *#*#4636#*#* and it opens Testing. In there I went to
Phone info --> three dots --> Select radio band --> Automatic
and after that everything start to work. I don't know what radio band was set before because I couldn't read that. I gess that every time when problem happens I'll have to do this.
