I've had my S3 for two days and not noticed any issues. Tonight, I was downloading the CoPilot map files (200mb) and my WiFi dropped out twice. I've never noticed this before with my S2. Could it be a faulty handset or just an odd glitch? How could I test further?
Same problem here. Vety bad wifi signal

Was same for me, but after changing to the 5Ghz band it works flawlessy. If you dont can change band try to switch to a less used channel in your area.
Thanks for that. It works

people are going to ask you how you did that.
they're going to think some settings or codes to input on the phone.
i just have to say you people meant the settings on your router.
Go to WI-FI settings>>>Advanced>>>Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep>>>always ON.
Don't worry about your battery. It will be not that bad you thinking.
Well, tried the phone on 5Ghz and I got no wireless routers showing up so I assume mine only supports 2.5Ghz (same at work also)?
Edit: is there a way to capture all the WiFi connection/disconnection toast messages? I'm testing it today on my works wifi but I obviously can't sit looking at phone all day
I am getting the same issues, and it's really annoying.
I posted about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697322

I tried this numerous times but it keeps going back to "Never" - am I alone with that problem?
I am having similar issues with my wifi disconnecting during calls when using my bluetooth headset.
Nobody got real solution to definitivly fix this issue?

I had issues at work. But not at home.
Today I told it to forget my B/G radio and to connect to the N radio. No disconnects, none..
No changes made to the phone at all..
This option to change frequency has dissappeared from my wifi settings since I flashed the latest uk firmware.
As far as the bluetooth goes its because it and wifi are using 2.4 band and the bluetooth polling the phone interrupts the wifi signal.
Maybe Im going crazy, but I think Ive been noticing some very strange activity from my WIFI Radio.
Seems it is mysteriously turning ON at my house...
XT910 rooted stock rom.
Smart Actions disabled, I dont even have any configured.
Tasker uninstalled
Symptoms: I get home from work, Wifi is off. Wait a few hrs, check the phone again, WIFI enabled?!?!? It even happened before my very eyes once. This pisses me off because I have unlimited data plan and prefer to use 4G all the time (much faster than my home cable, Time Warner Cable)
A few weeks ago I see an advertisement about a new partnership between TWC and Verizon, and start thinking "Conspiracy
"
I know its possible to turn on wifi based on Cell Tower association (thanks Tasker).
The phone knows what my most common SSID is...
I see it as entirely feasible that some hidden crap could be going on where Verizon is trying to "help me save Mobile Data"
What you say XDA Razr Q/A forum. Am I losing it? Any ideas how I can track this down?
If you are on verizon with 4G LTE then your model is XT912, XT910 stands for international gsm razr.
About you question, I have the exact same problem sometimes with my razr's wifi going wild, it's not quite often so I never cared about, just reboot and goes normal.
By going wild I mean that even when I see it got on I turn it off and immediately gets on again in front if me no matter how many times I tap that damn on/off switch.

Mine too. Sometimes it happens after I switch the phone on. Wifi is on right away by default it seems and I have to try to turn it off a few times before it finally stays off.

Maybe you should try to go to WiFi-settings, and turn off the Auto-Connect WiFi feature.
It's debuted in JB builds.
Just picked my one in los angeles, and it seems to me like I might be having poor signal reception issues.
I get no signal in my second story apartment in Santa Monica, neither did I have service inside my parents house in Cerritos, nor the restaurant a block away from my parents house in Artesia. Anyone else having signal issues? Very disappointed.
sorry to hear-- signal being bars of "phone"? i have not seen any issue yet indoors, so i would have to wonder if you got a defective phone.
Some users reported minor problems in the beginning. I'd try the following:
- restart the phone
- open settings -> open mobile data -> verify that network mode is set to all types
- from mobile data menu -> network operators select automatically
This may fix your problem although I speculate as mine worked out if the box. Might still need swapped out.

i think i figured it out, silly me, the priority for wifi calling was set to wifi only when available rather than whichever is better, so when its hard to get a signal and wifi is available it drops the antenna signal if set that way i guess.

Sigh of relief..
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?
:good:

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.

Thanks. Just made the change and will keep an eye on it over the next day or two.
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!

EDIT. Nevermind the part below. I just kept trying more SMS apps until I settled upon GO SMS and it seems to finally be able to load photos. Damned weird the default one wouldn't do it
On another note, can anyone explain why the built in Messaging app has issues both sending and recieving photos? Plus there're a few instances where it says I've got a message, but I've viewed them all. I've even tried downloading a few other messaging apps from the Play store, and they can't seem to view or send photos either. Damned weird if you ask me.

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
Sorry I'm restarting this thread one more time.. But anyone figure out a fix? I'm having the same problem on a brand new phone... I had the same phone before I lost it. Got it again but these signal dropping issues now . Never had these on my previous cc6806
This is my second ZTE Axon 7 and I've had it for 5 days. I am located in the UK. The first was returned to Amazon UK due to short battery life in early August.
This one was purchased from Amazon Germany.
When I get an LTE/4G signal on my EE UK mobile SIM in my new AXON it can stay connected to 4G for several hours.
This is sitting at the same location in the office where I work, suddenly it then goes straight to slow GSM and stays on it for some time. Then it may go back to 4G after some time.
Whereas the same EE SIM inserted in my OnePlus 2 phone in the same location gives a consistent LTE/4G signal all the time.
Since the AXONi can maintain a 4G signal for several hours surely that implies the 4G reception hardware is OK.
I hope a firmware fix is possible to improve the reception?
No I don't think that this fact alone would mean any problem. All my other phones behaved in similar way in my office. Whether a phone can stay connected to a tower depends not just on the phone. Rather it depends on the provider. For instance if it think that other needs more bandwidth in that moment it can drop you to another tower. I don't know the full details but I know that there is sophisticated logic behind this behavior. On the other hand I don't want to stay that everything is OK with the software in Axon.
This phone has signal strength issues compare the db to another phone you will see it is much worse on Axon 7
People who don't have this problem are still taking the trouble to log in and write a little message telling people who do have the problem that they are imagining it or that all phones have signal issues. The person who told me it was quite normal that my phone was defective when I was asking about other people's experiences has posted quite a few times about this. Why? God knows, maybe nothing good on Netflix in his or her region.
You know, the ones that tell you they get 9 hours screen-on time when your battery drain, that professional photographers think the rubbish camera on such and such a phone is great and that they dropped their phone on concrete from ten feet up and it didn't smash...
Ignore them. I sent mine back because the signal was bad, booting me off LTE and on to Edge far too often. I'll buy it again in a while and see if I get a better one or even sooner if ZTE announces a fixes or admits they had quality control problems with a minority of units
I'm inclined to agree. There is a reception issue at least on some phones. Hard to know if it applies to all phones, with some people finding it good enough. I'm holding out for the next firmware update to see if it is worth buying again.
Is there a thread like this for A2017U? Wondering how it works on Straight Talk using the CDMA side.

I have the A2017U on Straight Talk - buy the 99 cent "bring your own phone" sim card from the straight talk website. Once you put the sim card in it update the APN and (I cannot stress this enough) TURN OFF VOLTE in the settings menu. Far and away this is the best phone I have ever had as far as reception goes.

I had weak signal reception issues with VoLTE turned on - I think the phone just wouldn't switch over from LTE to HSPA with VoLTE on. Without it trying to use the VoLTE it switches over just fine. Since I shut off the VoLTE I can't find a spot anywhere I go now with no signal, and I go out into rural areas without reason for coverage in them A LOT. My Zenfone 2 use to lose signal all the time. My Axon 7 never seems to.
I just switched it off I'll shall see how it goes. Hopefully it works better than it did. I would like to stay with AT&T. The extra data is nice.

On the A2017U it is located in settings - wireless & networks - more. Don't know if it is in the G model (Is it just me or is 99% of the problems with this phone only on the G model?)

I could be mistaken but I seriously think with VoLTE turned on that it only looks for LTE signal - once I shut it off it started working a lot better
