Hello
I recently purchased this phone for a family member. We set it up yesterday, and found that the sim card from their old phone that we've inserted isn't capable of allowing the phone to make/receive texts/calls. It just says something along the lines of "Can't connect to mobile network", despite showing signal bars. When I checked the connectivity bands against the mobile network's, it appeared that the phone should at least support 2G & 3G. I'm in the UK and haven't modified the ROM.
Has anyone had this issue before, and does anyone know of a fix? I've heard that some of the newer official ROMs are better for connectivity, but I don't want to flash the phone and void its warranty if the fault lies with the phone.
Many thanks
Luke
Heyyo, hmm can you please provide more information?
Link to the exact product purchased
What country and network is being used?
Does your device say x820, x821, x822 or x829 on the back of it? If not does it say what it is in the settings > about phone menu?
Can you please specify which version of EUI ROM it is running? Should be in Settings > About Phone.
As for upgrading EUI ROM versions? That will not void warranty as long as you don't have the x829 with EUI ROM 5.8.016s.... which is what I had and x829 with 5.8.016s is garbage. So many darn problems with it and has software updates disabled even via recovery update.zip... I didn't stay on it long since LineageOS 13.0 at the time officially came to the x2 heh

Thanks for your reply
This is where I ordered it from: LeTV LeEco Le Max 2 X820 5.7 inch 4GB RAM 32GB ROM Snapdragon 820 Quad core 4G Smartphone
I live in the UK and the phone's using a Tesco Mobile SIM
The device is the X820
I don't have the phone with me right now, but I believe the EUI is 18s
I wasn't aware upgrading the ROM version didn't affect the warranty, that's nice to know
Hallo,
I believe I might have the same problem with the mobile network. In my case, I am quite certain that the battery is the problem. I got the phone some weeks ago, but I assume it was laying around for quite some time, which might be not very beneficial for the battery? Anyway, the voltage should be 4.4 V after loading and as long as the voltage stays above about 4 V, I have good data connection. But after a while, the voltage drops below 4 V and I do not have any connection anymore, despite showing all signal bars! Is it possible, that you see a similar behavior with your phone? If you load it on a charger, does your data work?

I personally do not experience this but I'm 100% sure that the voltage from the battery should stay around 4V. If this happens try turning on the battery saver and dimmer your screen so you can spread the battery load. Maybe it will work idk.

You are probably right in saying that the voltage should stay around 4 V. This is probably the case for new or at least well aged batteries. However, that seems not to be the case of my battery. According to the App that reads out the voltage, it sometimes drops to values as low as 3.6 V. Sometimes, the voltage recovers a bit, but typically, not enough to enable data connection, for which I believe to need at least around 4 V to work (reliably!).

I purchased a X820 from China (TomTop.com) and the junk had an EXTREMELY LOW signal.I NEVER received network signal at home.I have to go near a cell tower to get signal,as soon i drive away from the tower (around 5 blocks)i lost signal and could not make or receive calls..Remember that the company LeEco went out of business and the phones we buy today are NOT made by LeEco but are made by many private factories in China and in reality are cheap clones.I send the junk back and purchased a X829.Now i have very good signal and connection never dropsJust return your phone is defective..Here is a video i had to send to tomtop.com in order to get a refund.

I have exactly the same problem when the phone's battery level goes around 70% (~4v).
i.e. when battery drops below 70%, the network signal shows LTE with around 3 bars but there's no network connectivity and can't make/receive phone call. But as soon as I plug in the charger, everything works perfectly! This happens on all ROMs.
I wish there is a solution for this.
same problem for me .....
Today ,
NO WAY to have working Network mobile on a Leeco LE 2 x526 with last stock rom 28s installed on it. NOW i can call on 3G but no voice ,,,,, but i can't be called. .....after restart with / without APN / searchable 3G/4G network Digi.Mobile ...signal is lost and is cost me allot of time and energy . i even lost any hope .....(coul be a hardware problem ?)
Operation made until now
1.install 3 stock roms 19 , 21 and 28
2.install another 6 custom roms 6,7,8.1(miui , havoc, lin14.1 , 15.1, aosp extended ,Bootleggers. RR , Cr ,Small_EUI ,purenexus,cuoco )
3.reset SIM 1+2
4.sparse india image
5.write lost IMEI
6.write new baseband with DFS
7.flash modems firmware (MPSS (56347 , 61295 , 66782 and 68083))
8.try other Carrier SIMS ..... same problem
9.check any carrier server service ...nope
etc (rewrite a qcn file . different APN config , twrp 3.0.2.0 ydss )
I have real problems .....i need help (maybe someone have same problem or has read more infos from so many forums )
The same problem.
Only one person with name AGATSU83 something like this find the solution , and the solution never post it.
He help him LAZYE.
BUT I NOT UNDERSTAND he give us one site in russia and he told us that he find the solution.

I believe your phone is a X829. Someone installed the X820 firmware to sell it easier. It doesn't have Band 20 for 4G. Tesco mobile is working on O2 network and they're using Band 20 for 4G network. Despite that it should work on 3G. In my opinion you should install a custom ROM and check things there...

Ended up just being too frustrating, so we returned it for a refund & bought a different phone instead...
It's a shame, aside from that one issue it seemed to be a great phone, especially for the price

Hi everyone!!
Some time ago there was a discussion about data only sim cards (in Japan). Basically data only SIM doesn't connect to network like normal voice sim so the os boosts radio signal in search for that (non existing) signal. Then you have a huge battery drain and phone gets hotter.
Apparently the fix was some docomo sim patcher module for xposed. The module is removed if you search in xposed but it can be found online. In all discussion I dont see nobody mentioning kitkat, only ics and jb. I saw somewhere that this problem is supposed to be solved in kitkat but its not. In kit kat there is signal bars but cell standby is high and battery drain is huge. Have in mind that this happens exactly the same on various devices ( Im now on OnePlus one).
I installed the module, and it solved the cell standby (it used to be 100% and now is much less) but time on says as long as the actual time on of the device and although battery life is better it still drinks too much battery no matter if on LTE or 3G. Mostly i notice that battery drain is way too huge when cell phone is in stand by.
Did anyone finally got around this problem? Is there some up to date fix? All I found is very outdated, and no clear solution either.
Thanks
I guess the solution is to pay a little bit extra for sms function, that way phone should connect normally to network and I think there shouldn't be no problem. Somebody please confirm if you tested. Thank you.
So turns out that patch did fix part of the problem, but now here is another problem. Patch is a xposed module and as you all know ,xposed doesnt work in Lollipop.
What is the possible workaroud?
Is there any way to change the code so that phone doesnt look for network when sim is inserted?
I get signal bars but it says no service and in battery settings network signal is red (as if signal is terrible all the time while Im actually missing only 1 bar). When I set apn lte sign appears and internet works (along with huge battery drain)
I am currently in Japan and having the same problem on my Nexus 5 and Android 5.0.1. Is anyone having a solution by now?
Thanks, would help a lot if my phone isn´t discharged after half of the day...
Well, nexus 5 and battery are not best friends to begin with. I am also on Nexus 5 currently. The best bet is to activate sms option which is only 100yen more monthly, and that way phone should register to network probably. Only problem is you have to buy sim again (at least in my case with biglobe).
You can also toggle airplane mode every time you dont use internet ,thats what Im doing right now,although wont save that much.
Interesting thing is that I didnt have that problem with HTC's 4.1.2 jelly bean..
SMS chip doesn't help

I have a Nexus 4 (Android 5.0.1) and I bought one chip in BIC Camera with Line support, which means I can receive SMS (no voice). My battery is draining if the mobile network is on. The best thing I can do for now is, like you said, toggle airplane mode when I have a WiFi connection available and carry a power bank if I need to use 3G...
I have a Nexus 6P on Android 6.0.1 and use a data-only SIM card on Docomo's network in Japan (purchased from BIC camera). This issue has not been solved.
Some have claimed that a previous Android update from 4.x has solved the issue, but this is not the case. I've used multiple Android devices in Japan over the past 2 years with these "MVNO" SIM cards and every single one has the issue of battery drain. The iPhone does not have this problem.
Has anyone solved this? There was an Xposed Module fix for this, but that was ages ago and I presume it does not apply to Android 6.x.

Sorry, I've left Japan a year ago and don't have Nexus anymore too, so can't help much..

Has it been fixed in Nougat?
I hope so. Going to Japan again later this year. Was a pain on my LG G4 last year. Got myself a Nexus 6P now with Android 7.1.1.
Pure Nexus ROM 7.1.2, same battery drain...
I have 0sim, which is free up to 500MB.
I can't add SMS option, because it will cost money.
Please, anyone, post some solution on Nougat for data only SIM.
My phone is rooted, but still no Xposed for Nougat. If it was some tool...
Hello there,
I have been using Tesco Mobile with my Redmi Note 2 for a couple of months now and have had no problem. I decided to switch networks to a VPN called Life Mobile. They use EE's network in the UK. Since putting in the sim card today I have not been able to connect to the mobile network. I am wondering if anyone else on this network with this phone could help? I have called Life Mobile's helpline and all they wanted to do was run me through EE's apn settings. I had already used their app and also searched elsewhere on the web to find a few different APN settings but none of them worked.
One thing I'm wondering about if whether or not the custom ROM/firmware (MUI 7 I believe) that the phone shipped with (bought online from China by the way) is having anything to do with the internet problems. I get the feeling the customer service for Life Mobile were fobbing me off when they said that maybe my phone just isn't compatible with their network. Phone calls and texts work fine by the way.
Does anything think flashing the phone to the standard android ROM that's available would have any affect on the internet settings. I'm no mobile expert, and with the phone not being on general sale in the UK yet as far as I know, I would appreciate your help to get this internet/mobile data settings issues sorted, as I do use my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for comments and help.
I definitely know that the ROM that came with my phone from Gearbest was the worst piece of software that I have ever used in my life... ever. Check your MIUI build number and see if it's something like 5.xx.xx or 7.xx.xx. If it's something more like 77.55.66, then you have a knock-off and it may be eating your battery, performance, and experience (the original ROM Gearbest flashed on my phone had so much bloatware that the antivirus warned me about one of the programs every ten minutes, and heated up significantly on the home screen). If you have an unofficial ROM, try flashing a developer weekly or stable.
Hi all.
Well, would you believe it, I have spent a large part of the day trying to figure this out and finally I've done it. I'm not quite sure how but I've done it. I'll explain briefly to help anyone else who may be facing the same problem. It seems that changing the network preference setting within the sim settings from LTE to 3G did the trick. Life Mobile does not support 4G as far as I'm aware. That's no problem for me as I'm perfectly happy using 3G when necessary. After doing that and fiddling with the network settings, eventually reverting back to the automatic selection of the network as EE and using the APN default settings as given by the sim when it first was entered into the phone, things suddenly start to kick into life and we had INTERNET!
Thanks for your help in resolving this, and happy New Year to everyone.

Hi mate,
I'm having the same issue now on life mobile, I've checked all the settings are right but still not picking up mobile data. Any suggestions? Constantly restarting it hoping something will be different but nothing so far.

Driving me crazy as well (on a Lenovo K3 Note). Still have the Tesco SIM in there. Was going to port the number on Monday, but might get them to take the damn thing back!
Tried all the suggestions above, but nothing working. Tried both SIM slots with and without the other SIM, but nothing. Grrrrr....

Well, they sent me a new SIM card and I had all the same problems until I switched on "data roaming" and it now works fine (it didn't do anything with the last SIM though, when I tried it in another phone, I had to have date roaming on in order to even get a regular signal- data still did not work). I have seen transient "R" occurring when the SIM was activated/deactivated so had suspected this as a problem.
Hello all,
I am having an intermittent but a strange signal problem with my wife's OnePlus X and I suspect that this is some sort of software issue with the modem firmware and not a hardware fault.
Basically if you reboot the phone, 9 times out of 10 there will be absolutely no signal whatsoever on the 3 UK network, the phone will just state emergency calls only. This happens on both 3G and 4G, but we usually have 4G turned off as there are not many areas within our region that support 4G yet. If you search Available Networks 3 doesn't show up.
Usually leaving the phone for hours the signal will come back, but sometimes it can be fixed by going into the Test Menu by putting *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and going to Phone Information -> Toggling the Radio off and On a few times, but this doesn’t work every time. My phone is also on the Three network, so I have tried putting both SIMS's in the OnePlus X at the same time and the same issue occurs in both SIM Slots. If I put a Vodafone SIM in as well as the Three SIM, the Vodafone SIM works absolutely fine, regardless of the SIM slot it goes in, but it maintains a signal each time. The problem isn’t signal in the area as we have full signal in our house. If I put my wife's SIM into my LG G4 it works absolutely fine 100% of the time.
Three will not help us as the phone isn’t supplied by them, this is getting to the point now where this phone is becoming unreliable to use because if you have to reboot, chances are you won't have any signal for hours on end.
This happens on OOS and CM13 and has done for months.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
All these views and no replies
I have the same problem and solution is nowhere to be found...
Did you find any solution to this? I've got this problem with my OPX.

My wife ended up getting rid of the phone a few months ago, she couldnt put up with it any longer as it was just the same. I don't think it was a hardware fault with the phone as it worked fine on any other network but Three. The phone supported all the frequencies that Three offers, so I have no idea why it didnt work right but certainly something wasn't right.

When I had recently visited the UK, I had trouble connecting to the Three as well(through my home SIM as International Roaming). It didn't work so I ended up buying an O2 SIM that worked just fine.
I fixed it by putting some scotch tape over the back of the sim card, My OPX is almost 2 years old and the sim card is not in good contact with the phone inside I think.

Hello all,
I do have the following problem which is not new and mentioned in other threads but there is no solution and the threads are quiet old - so I hope it is OK to start a new one:
My LeMax2 is constantly dropping the network signal and the signal is in general very weak (I can only get calls outside, Internet is working irregular "sometimes", outside only. After arrival signal was fine. No difference. Flashed a couple of different custom roms, still fine. Ended up using SmallEUI. After a while (maybe two weeks) signal dropping began. What I tried so far:
- Flashed alternate modem file from SmallEUI, no difference.
- Switched rom back to india20s. Problem stayed the same. -
- Switched to LOS13 (which is still running).
- Entered *#*#4636#*#* switched and set GSM/UMTS band to automatic. Problem got worse.
- flashed various modem files, no difference
- renewed APN settings. No difference.
- Found about 4 threats regarding this problem, can not find a solution. This is exactly my problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/mobile-network-problems-le-max-2-6gb-t3507500
Help? Please? What can I do now?

Have you looked into your carrier? Maybe it's not a device problem..... Try a signal app to see if your connecting to the right bands, getting a good enough signal ....
Have you tried a factory reset?
When I was with T-Mobile they cut service in my area without letting customers know, I ended up buying a signal amplifier for my house to finish out my contract.

Hey,
thank you for your reply. I put the SIM card into another phone and it worked like a charm. So I think it is not the carrier. Rechecked the APN settings also. Regarding the LTE band I am not sure. Most of the time I only get a H+ connection so no LTE band at all. Thing is: The connection was really good with this phone in the beginning.
Factory reset: Yes, and even more (flashed 6 different roms I think and various modems)
Best,

x829 no signal
i lived in ireland i have x829 from banggood i don't have networking signal strange when i when battery is 0% turn off phone after Charge the battery signal come back for few minutes after again disappear
I have the same problem. I am living in India, and the signal drop is very frequent.
Earlier i only used to get H+, but from few days i get the LTE band but the signal fluctuates almost every second and very unstable - especially the data. The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
Using RR v5.8 official
This thing solved the LTE stability problem for me:
Type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
select phone info
Click the menu on top right on action bar
Select radio band and select band 43
I get decent speeds with some sudden boosts from time to time. PS I am using Airtel in India.
I have the same problem. I am living in sri lanka, and the signal drop is very frequency The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
i wish to get updates on this problem, cause this is a pain. tried every method mentioned. tried different new roms (rr, LOS, Eui, stock 26s and 21s roms)
Maybe someone has solutions?

Hey, did you have success in resolving the issue?
I had problems too with my le s3 x626, it didn't recognize the sim card anymore, froze, and had to force reboot. Luckily, it was a battery issue. For some reason when the phone goes under 10%, it does that. Easily solved upon charging (happened more than once).
Same issue in the philippines
Heyyo, I'd recommend looking into AEX as @shivatejapeddi recently made a bunch of changes for VoLTE and carrier settings that might help.
Otherwise? It could be your carrier might need further apn and carrier configuration changes in order to work at least on custom ROMs.
Another thing to try? Replacing your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with this one from the Pixel 2 XL. Download it > reboot to TWRP > mount system > make a copy of that /system/etc/apns-conf.xml somewhere as a backup > replace the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with the one downloaded > reboot to system > reset apn configuration to defaults to force ROM to reload apns-conf.xml

magandang umaga! I'm mestizo and my wife is a Filipina, thus my son is second generation mestizo hehe. What carrier you with? I can try and look into it but no guarantees I can fix it.
Please try the above apns-conf.xml to see if that works
Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I think I have tried every rom and every medem file but no luck...The one thath works best for me is EUI 30s from Crisbal, but still i some times lose the networksignal from time to time
I hae let phone here I CANADA. same prob. Phone ..drops service every 5-10 mins. Carrier is not the problem. As.ive tried many
same problem
leeco le 2 x526 : signal if is starting , after i enter inside building ...it drops instant .... try different stock roms . version .and custom roms (now i am on RR 6.0 - good for camera ) .....baseband of my carrier are recognise , 5 diff. modem firmware .... nothing .... any sugestion is worth trying ..... lets find the solution together .
Ok this is super weird but the Leeco Le Max pro I used had the same issue. BUT. When I'd switch on the hotspot, and let someone connect to my Leeco, they get unrestricted LTE speeds. I cannot use my phone data plan but others can using my wifi So. I don't know exactly what's the issue. All those with this issue do check their hotspot capabilities. Thank you.

same problem
tried everything, the last one to do for me is REWRITE IMEI on the phone, i noted a strange IMEI=0 or some difficult in reading it (x526 from myefox.it)
Dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Hi devrookie,
I did it as you mentioned in your comment above...didnt worked
Selected radio band...there is no option of 43 infact there is nothing to select...
anyone got this resolved guys? i just bought two leeco x520 phones and both have the same issue. wifi keeps dropping over and again every 10 seconds or so. It's like a loop........ drop .. reconnect .. drop .. reconnect .. and so on. tried two roms so far, currently on lineage os 16.0 and have the same issue on this rom too. on top of the connectivity problem, a new problem has came up .. the phone shuts down while playing games which is super annoying. and the phone heats up a lot while recharging the battery. i'm so fed up
Hi, I am new to Sony family and bought used III which mightve been a Mistake.
I never see the signal having all bars full. It also reports values around 100dbm.
I have not been making calls really but I can see the reception is worse than with my old Xiaomi 9, same for 4g. Sometimes it drops and only restart fixes it.
Running dualsim, different carriers. Did network config restarts etc.
Lets assume it is sw problem. Could it be bad non-eu stock rom? How do I check?
I might immediatelly go with custom rom, maybe on android 12 just to see if it works better. Any suggestions? I just dont think factory reset or flashing stock is gonna fix it easily and I am open to experiments as long as the system and mainly signal reception is stable because next stop is trashbin really. The phone is overall great, I just did not expect phones having such problems nowadays.
I've seen the same, especially if I go underground for a few minutes - the phone can't reconnect unless I restart it or switch on and off the airplane mode.
But apart from that I have a pretty stable connection, no matter what the bars show.
My uneducated guess is power savings affect the signal strenght.
Never had problems during calls, no matter if driving or stationary

As A current Metro by T-mobile sales rep, and self proclaimed cell phone guru, some carriers require a phone to be registered on your account for it to fully work, even if the phone on paper has all the supported bands of said carrier. so this could be the problem, and if it's a software problem you can simply reinstall the correct firmware for your region and device and see if that fixes the issue, you could also try a different region but same device model number...

I have not really tested it much in such environment like underground. The signal mostly stays ok, not full at all but the connection works tho. I had only like 2-3 restarts/week due to connection reporting only EDGE available (still I couldnt browse anything) and both sim signals showed a problem (exlamation mark), I think it could have been caused by worse reception conditions and it eventually stopped working at all.

I dont see registration being a requirement here in EU. These are prepaid simcards, no binding to a device, no contract and such.
I dont know if its software problem. After little bit of Googling I came to a conclusion that Sony does indeed have problem with signal reception no matter what is the cause. To me it seems it could be SW related. Question is if flashing stock rom is the way to go or maybe using a custom rom as daily driver?

What os/rom do you have? Have you had any success on making the reception better, more stable? Did custom rom help with that anyhow?

In the states Metro by T-Mobile is a prepaid company that uses T-Mobile's network, but they specifically require your current device to be on your account to make sure they can give you the correct info on why your phone isn't working correctly. And some times to send the correct configuration file to your device. But in your specific case i would say go the firmware route and see if that fixes it before calling the carrier to see if there's a config file or something similar they need to send.

Thanks for the explanation. I chose the FW route, testing AlphaDroid as of now. So far so good. Reception already looks better so I will stick to this rom for now and see how it performs.

Just a tip, you might wanna force 4G even on custom ROMs, I am running same config as you double sim and diff carriers but i get better result by forcing LTE Only on my main data SIM.

I have a quick update for you regarding my devices connectivity problems
I reflashed the latest global firmware, this overrides the modem 5g configs that you find on all of the 5g enabling guides.
immediately my reception AND my phone switching between 3G, 4g 4g+ etc was better. Im not saying im magically getting full bars, but its improved substantially on top of switching between networks when travelling etc is instantly now. Instead of me having to enable flight mode to reset my network every time.
i will try flash a custom rom and see if the reception stays fine
only had problems after trying to enable 5g and follow the guides.

Cool, thanks for the info. What is the version of that global fw?
I had only one network disconnect on AlphaDroid but it managed to fix itself within minutes. Still the display seems bit irresponsive to touches at times, baterry drain is not the best and also call quality does not seem to be the best. So I am considering switching to global or maybe different custom. Ofc it could be just my device.

You should start using 120Hz if it feels slow (go into QS settings and get the refresh rate toggle from there), also enable High polling rate from Settings > Display for better responsiveness, also if you're rooted/using Shizuku you should try https://github.com/kyujin-cho/pixel-volte-patch/releases it may unlock some SIM options that may improve your call quality.

6.1.2.A.0.447 was what I upgraded too
Honestly, I don’t have a single practical use case for my phone where i need 5g enabled, so it’s really not a deal breaker for me to not have that enabled. 4g+ is still pretty quick especially for my use case. If you want volte & vowifi I recommend magisk + zygisk so you can use banking apps. Works well for me and call quality is fantastic
edit: I think I should note i did a full clean flash, flashing all and wiping all data on the phone. It’s been a few days and signal noticeably better.
edit 2: spelling (damn autocorrect)
