So after the 3.16 update, I noticed my phone was not picking up 4G. After pulling my hair out to figure out why, I traced the problem to the Sprint Connection Optimizer being disabled. Turn it on, 4G toggles on with it, turn it off, 4G toggles off with it. The previous version of the Sprint Connection Optimizer did not do this. To confirm my suspicions I reset the phone to stock and observed the same behavior.
This is quite the pain in the ass as I don't want my phone connecting to WiFi networks that I marked "remember". In addition, I don't need my phone connecting to WiFi at work (which I use for work purposes under special circumstance).
My short term solution is to forget WiFi networks but this is rather tedious. With the Sprint Connection Optimizer toggled off, I am essentially locked out of 4G. I pay for Sprint's service and I insistent on using as much of their/my bandwidth as I chose.
Can anybody else confirm what is happening. My area has relatively strong 4G coverage, to the point where seeing 3G would be a rare occurrence. I need to make sure this isn't a problem on just my device before I roam my way out of my contract.

Why would you not want to connect to WiFi networks that you mark remember?....jw
If you have the option of your local WiFi versus 4G most times I'd expect someone to want to go with the WiFi... Only time you'd want to not is in places where 4G was better connection, which in those cases I wouldn't want to mark said WiFi networks as remember...
Ill try to mess with it here see how it effects my stuff as were rolling 4G a lot now...

In most cases work wifi won't let you watch porn at work man. Total pain in the a$$. We should be able to toggle our own connections. I will say wifi is better on battery and generally faster. However there's potential risk on wifi that someone could access your device. Extremely unlikely but a possibility none the less.
In my area we don't have lte yet and the other day after installing MeanBean I saw 4G pop up in signal bar then went away then came back. Haven't seen it since. I was so excited but I shouldn't get my hopes up. Sprints been saying 4G for a long time and still nothing. Only reason I stay is unlimited data and I live the HTC evo line.
You have a better chance of winning the lottery 5 times than someone accessing/ hacking your phone over wifi without you knowing about it.
Also there are great wifi apps that tells you who is on the network your on at all times.

I have found that Comcast seems to throttle youtube traffic at certain times of the day, and I have a specific spot in my house where my wifi signal just completely drops (but still claims to be "connected.") I'm obviously going to want my phone to remember my home wifi connection, but I don't necessarily want to always be using it at home.
My situation may not be incredibly common, but it's a valid scenario where you may not necessarily want connection optimizer to run the show.

The optimizer isn't your issue there though, as the mere fact of having the network remembered in the phone will cause it to connect to it whenever within range.... Its the fact you have a remembered WiFi network saved and you want to override that in a specific location when still in range of the WiFi... In that case the only solution is to toggle it off when you don't want to use it at that specific location in your house...
Optimizers doesn't just force you to connect to your local network that's remembered as the WiFi being on will do that itself already...

You can try disabling Sprint Connection Optimizer and try purchasing Juice Defender Ultimate. If you use its location service, it will only turn on wifi in places that you turn on the wifi antenna and remember them. And if it turns it on, you just manually turn it off until its trained.
As some of you have probably read.
I gave up on the M9, mostly prompted by dropped calls, or calls going straight to voice mail.
I had the M9 replaced and gave it to my wife. It's been near perfect for her, she even dunked it and it's still running great.
My G4 is now doing the SAME thing. Although it has not dropped many calls, tons of calls go straight to voice mail.
Had a very important call this morning and even shutoff LTE, WIFI and Bluetooth and only had 3G on. And it went to voice mail.
The signal is not great, but should be fine for CDMA. Previous generation phones were fine (M8,M7, etc.)
I do see the signal bounce. Where it will be 3-4 bars one minute and none the next. The bouncing can be common in weak LTE (which is definitely weak).
But it's even bouncing with LTE off.
Even at home with two phones in the same location.
My wifes M9 will work, but my G4 will go to voice mail.
Where a couple months ago at home
My wifes M8 will work, but my M9 will go to voice mail.
Could their be something on the account that limits my phones? Like wrong bands or something. Not enabled for Spark but on a Spark Network.
As soon as Verizon gets the LG V10, I'm 99% sure I'm gonna switch. Don't know what else to do.
I don't really care for how locked down Verizon is, but I need a working phone.
This problem happens at multiple locations.
Any ideas appreciated.
I know this isn't specifically an M9 issue, but I know their are more experienced folks around here that might know something.
It is related to M9 TYPE phones though (Spark Generation 2-ish phones). It started when I switched from M8 to M9.
Upgrading my wife from M7 to M8 went fine and from M8 to M9 went fine.
Upgrading me from M8 to M9 went south and from M9 to G4 went south.
All SIM cards cam with respective phones.
All bought new.
All S-Off and/or rooted.
I may have found the answer. Read this !! It has to do with having WIFI on and phone going to sleep. Which is exactly what happens on G4 and M9.

I disagree...I'm using the opposite settings that he is saying to use & I've never had this issue (that I know of). I don't make alot of outgoing calls...most are incoming...I also have my work cell fwd'd to my M9 so I don't have to carry 2 devices...I'm on Wifi a majority of the time, I get calls & texts all the time w/ no issues...the only thing I have checked in Advanced WiFi is Wifi Optimization, Keep Wifi on during sleep set to always
Fix
------
The fix is to not have Wifi on when the phone is idle/sleep. change your Wifi settings below to the screenshot below.
Settings -- > Wifi -- > MORE -- > Advanced -- > "Keep Wi-Fi on during Sleep = Never"
I also have "Network notification" and "Always allow scanning" enabled.

Sprint did (in my opinion) a very poor job with how it handles calls. One of my favorite phones was the evo LTE which not only could do LTE and a call at the same time but if you weren't in 4G it could do SV-DO and work on 3G which it actually worked very well. Especially at the time when I had that phone, I hardly had 4G anywhere so being able to use data at the same time on 3G was great.
That said, that feature didn't stick around long. The m7 had a separate radio for LTE & 1X meaning you could surf at the same time because it had separate radios. This couldn't do 3G which was a step backwards however 4G was becoming more mature.
Fast forward to today and with your modern tri-band device while it supports multiple bands that the previous phones didn't, most people have no idea what that means they usually assuming if it's a 4G phone well then it's just that how is any different.
I have had plenty of people complain to me about calls going straight to voicemail or signal issues. Rather than having separate radios, Sprint just uses CSFB Circuit Switched fallback so when a call comes in, it lets the phone know via LTE and immediately switches back to 1X to grab the call. That said it's by no means perfect especially in a bad signal LTE area can cause issues. When I'm at home or work I usually set my phone to CDMA only since I have wi-fi there is no advantage to be on LTE, causes issues with calls coming through and wastes battery. Most users have no idea about what is actually going on so it's hard to explain to a friend why when a caller calls them, the caller might here 5-6 rings before the phone even goes off. Sprint's LTE signal frankly sucks in most places I go, even right next to the tower sometimes you won't get full signal.
Anyway if your wifes phone works fine in the same spot as your G and you are doing all your testing off of LTE and still having issues that tells me either you have a bad radio again or something is provisioned wrong. I would put the phone back to stock, reset the radio and reactive the phone then do some testing with calls off LTE again. If you still have issues at the point, I would swap the phone. My M9 is pretty good with CSFB, I haven't had too many issues with it but really I think it's a very poor solution how it works especially when your in a fridge LTE area with the phone bouncing in and out of LTE.
Once the network goes all LTE (god knows how long that will take) I think this will be a thing of the past but for now CSFB now it's here to stay. I don't see Sprint ever going back to separate radios like the previous gen phones as they would more likely be focused on voice over LTE instead.

It has not failed in 5 days since I flipped it.
It may depend on the WIFI it's on, IPV6 etc. I don't know.
I think this may have started the same time MMS started failing for SOME folks if WIFI was enabled. Disabling IPV6 on WIFI was a work around (which is disabled on your ROM).
But not everyone had this issue and depended on their router.
So their is weird sh$t happening due to Android changes.
I think this issue is related and not everyone runs into it.
I have had WIFI Calling setup, but disabled it on both M9 and G4 (because it's extremely unstable on every phone I've tried).
Not sure if that is part of it. Like my account knows it's WIFI Calling capable. But my wifes never had WIFI Calling setup, she also does not run WIFI at work. She's never had the problem (even with the same phone I had problems with).
Again I don't know the exact details, and this is not a fix. But disabling WIFI when asleep seems to have stopped it problem. But I need to go a bit longer to be 100% sure.
I've seen similar threads on many phones and carriers and many start off saying "Problem started with 5.x.x OTA update".
I think I was close when I thought it was the optimizer. And before I found that thread, I was testing with WIFI completely off (which also worked).
Something is a miss and there may be more "options" to cause the issue.

I know about the call switching for LTE and it sucks. But that was not it. I tried CDMA only and it did not fix it.
Disabling WIFI while sleeping is still working. Not one call has gone to voice mail at work in over a week. It used to happen 2-3 times a day.
I HATE disabling wifi while asleep though. I'd like to still get to the bottom of it.
I think some how it is doing something over WIFI when a call comes in, if WIFI is available. But when the WIFI is in power save mode something gets messed up.
The problem started on OMJ's ROM with IPV6 disabled. So it's not that.
The only thing common is Lollipop, Sprint and my WIFI locations (and a modern single radio triband phone).
I'd like to try getting "WIFI Calling" capability off my account. I think once you set it up once, it's enabled automatically on my account.
I will also say, if I do enable WIFI Calling, it's terribly unreliable. Maybe that's a hint.
The WIFI signal is solid and no issues using WIFI itself.

Having Wi-Fi calling provisioned on your account is just that, it just means if you enable wi-fi calling that your phone has the green light to connect and move forward with the server. That said if you keep wi-fi calling off the fact that it is still provisioned on the account doesn't affect anything at all if the service is not active.
If you only solution is disabling wi-fi while sleeping something in the rom is borked. Return the phone to 100% stock, hard reset it (including the radio) then try using it again. While again CSFB isn't perfect, if the phone is CDMA only you just shouldn't be having this kind of issue. If your not having issues with other phones in the same area with calls going to vm, you know it's not the network and something with the phone. If it does this on 100% stock after a re provision then you have a borked radio and the phone should be swapped. Which I have seen borked radios before, the wi-fi radio in the phone is totally separate from the CDMA/LTE radio.

Did that, returned to stock, same issue. Got Another M9, same issue, got a LG G4 same issue. Just signed up for T-Mobile (have not canceled Sprint yet). Two LG V10's. T-Mobile just announced a huge expansion on their network to cover areas that I needed with LTE (Sprint roams 1x Lakes Region and North in NH).

Not a bad play, Sprint's Network has come along way in the past few years but with CSFB and a crappy LTE signal is most places they still have a lot of work to do. One of the reasons I stay is my plan and they are pretty friendly towards rooting/unlocking for the most part.

The V10 was awesome. T-Mobile was extremely good at My work, My wifes work, Home and all places between. Speeds were 4-8x faster (seriously) than Sprint. Simultaneous Voice and Data VoLTE.
But what the map showed up in NH, didn't match reality at all. Sprint is pretty dismal too, but they at least Roam and you can get 1x or 3G from either US Cellar or Verizon.
But T-Mobile had nothing in the areas Sprints Roams. So I'm sticking with Sprint for now.
I've concluded it's a combination of weak locations, the requirement to switch from LTE to CDMA for calls, and something around that is complicated by WIFI while asleep. Shutting off WIFI or shutting it off while asleep definitely improved things but didn't eliminate it completely. Both phones (M9 and G4) are Qualcomm chips and probably have similar Radio Firmware. But it's overly complicated due to Sprint being a bit behind the ball with VoLTE.
I agree Sprint is not quite so tight on locking things down. T-Mobile is the least locked down, then Sprint, then AT&T then Verizon. I know Verizon would perform flawlessly. But the combination of expense and being so locked down keeps me away. T-Mobile price was really good 2 lines 10GB each, with Carry Over and free Music/Video streaming. And the V10 already had TWRP on day one. The G4 on Sprint does not have TWRP and probably never will. It is rootable, barely.
I convinced my Sister to switch to T-Mobile because she wanted an iPhone and I recommended she not Jail Break it. But she wanted Tether (I was rooting Androids on Sprint for her). She is very happy with T-Mobile. And she generally stays in Eastern MA.
We'll see what HTC does this next time around. But they really need to step up their game. The reception issue really isn't an "HTC" issue. It's a Qualcomm/Sprint issue in my opinion. It's a kludge and I think Sprint is the only one with this kludge.
Hi,
I have been experiencing a few issues with the 4G LTE on my LG V10 H901 (T-Mobile). What happens is this.
In Network mode I selected GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto. This initially worked fine and could get a data connection. 2 days after, I noticed I couldn't get a data connection anymore, the 4G LTE icon at the top was displaying with a down arrow lit. So I went in the Network mode and checked my APN everything was ok. Decided to switch from GSM / WCDMA Auto where I got a 4G connection (icon 4G displayed at the top) and I finally got a data connection.. Changed it back to GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto, and there I was back on LTE... I had to reboot my phone and that is when I noticed the same thing happened again!!! No LTE connection and had to first select GSM / WCDMA Auto to get 4G.. If I reboot with GSM / WCDMA Auto I get a data connection fine.. The problem only occurs when I have the Network mode on GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks
I would say it's a hardware problem with the phone I've had mine for a month i never touched network settings and the phone gets a better data connection then any phone I've ever had LTE pretty much all the time where other phones wouldn't maybe a factory reset would fix it worth a shot
The first V10 i got from T-Mobile had somewhat of a similar problem but with WiFi, it would connect but speed was horrible. And LTE isnt that great in my area either. I read around the forums and notice that many have done factory resets and that fixes everything. I did that and lowe and behold, it did. WiFi was fast again and LTE speed improved but still sucks....its my area, not the phones fault. For some reason, a reset helps.
However, I was still just 4 days in since I got my phone so I just went back and had them replace it. I just told them that the WiFi doesnt hold....they didnt really ask me tons of questions. I replaced it only because I am paying for the phone and me having to do a "fix" to make it work doesnt sound right...so I want a new good phone lol. The new phone worked fast from the get go...no reset needed.
Just got the V10 was having those wifi issues initially so brought phne back n exchanged for another 1 and this 1 workes fine but now Im having dropped call s inside my house ,verizon said no antenna issues i can bring phne back n replace for something else or another v10 but that is time consuming ,please anyone having drop d call s....I live Long Island NY so verizon overage is better then most carriers...INaNYmin...
I began having the exact same issue on Jan 16. Had the phone since Dec 25th, worked perfect. Then, all of a sudden, it began to lose LTE connectivity. At first I thought it was a down tower, but the problems persisted an eventually got much worse wherever I went. On a full charge the phone will behave normally for a while, but eventually it starts losing data connectivity altogether, cycling between 4G LTE, 4G, 3G, 2G, trying to connect. during this process the battery drains a lot, it never really connects, and sometimes calls and text messaging fail. Tried every network setting, soft reboot, hard reboot, safe mode, clear cache, factory reset....problem persists. T-mobile concludes it must be defective. We shall see. Awaiting a replacement.
Having the same issue. Looks like it's a common problem. Any fix for this yet?
I have a similar issue.
it always seems to find the LTE signal, however I have no data and the battery drains very quickly.
If I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it seems to have connection issues. However, the data will connect on GSM/WCDMA. Once I have data, then if I select GSM/WCDMA/LTE, and it will connect to LTE
It is a Tmobile version. I am using it on Bell (Canada)... however it works fine with Wind & Tmobile, with no issues.
I am hoping that this will be fixed with the Marshmallow upgrade.

Wind works on hspa not LTE. That's why it works. I've noticed that it works fine on hspa(4g) but when I put it on LTE(4gLTE) it works for a while then stops.

For me, Wind works fine on GSM/WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA/LTE
With Bell, it will not connect on GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
However, with Bell, if I put it on GSM/WCDMA, it will connect. Then if I change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it will connect to Bell's LTE.
Occasionally, it will lose its data connection... and then if I toggle between GSM/WCDMA & back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it reconnects. This seems to happen once every 2-3 days
I don't know why it does this. It was actually very frustrating until I figured that out. I almost dropped Bell because I was not able to connect on LTE for the longest time!!
I just keep my Wind plan for the US roaming (on Tmobile LTE down there)

Yup exact same issue with me and that's how I resolve it as well I'm with koodo and I lose LTE. I was going to warranty this phone but I think it's a common issue.
I just want to quickly point out that I am seeing the exact same issue on Virgin Mobile (Bell). I also noticed that the performance of the phone decreases drastically when it is connected through mobile data instead of WiFi. Anyone else sees this and knows how to fix it?
Lg v10 t mobile no connection
I'm having a similar issue I get a 4G LTE signal but if I make a call once I end it I loose all signal including the bars it wont let me text or call it says network not available and it will do that till I travel a few miles. I'm not in a dead zone because it does it in the heart of the city and on the buisest streets in Tampa Florida then it will come back and sometimes I won't get a signal for a entire day out shoe have any solutions?

it always seems to find the LTE signal, however I have no data and the battery drains very quickly.
If I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it seems to have connection issues. However, the data will connect on GSM/WCDMA. Once I have data, then if I select GSM/WCDMA/LTE, and it will connect to LTE
It is a Tmobile version. I am using it on Bell (Canada)... however it works fine with Wind & Tmobile, with no issues.
I am hoping that this will be fixed with the Marshmallow upgrade.

Hey,
I'm using this phone in Canada too, on Telus. Ever since the OTA update 2 days ago I've been having data connection errors over the network. Did you find a fix?

I'm seeing this too, but it just started after my OTA update. So frustrating bc I love the phone.
I had a similar problem. With The latest software (,,v20c,,) With the LGUP Software I software put it back (,,v20a,,) . And it seems the problem disappeared. Last part of the modem software is not good. Even test elements. Sorry for my bad english for knowledge. LGUP software very simply .

Had my x1 for a couple of days now and lots to like about it however I have noticed that it seems to have a very weak phone signal reception.
I am on three in the UK and in the normal areas I travel I have never noticed an issue on my other phones with it struggling to hold on to signal bars.
Anyone else have this?
Signal bars mean absolutely nothing. Many oem even show full bars even when there is actually no signal.
Better install cellmapper app that will exactly show and record the signal where you travel.
Also, do you have 3uk volte working?(calls over 4g network)
Well all I can say is that I live less than a mile from the nearest mast and would nearly always have full signal bars on other phones yet on this phone it drops on and off 1 bar.
I will download the app you mentioned and see what that shows
I've had this problem with numerous Sony phones over the years, always poor signal compared to Sammy's, Pixel's and iPhones that I've had. Same issue with the X1 I have now, always on WiFi calling and no signal, my Pixel 3 XL would be happily sitting on 4G.

Glad it's not just me then.
I do remember having this issue on a previous Sony phone also but can remember the model now. It's been a long time since I had a Sony but thought this one was going to tick every box which it almost does apart from having reliable signal reception which is really should be a must!
Is there anyway they can improve this with software of are we stuck with it due to hardware issues?
I'm in my 14 days returns periods at the moment and like everything about this phone apart from what it should do first and foremost
I am having the same problem, I'm on EE and my LTE keeps dropping from 4 bar's to 1 bar then nothing which causes me to lose data connection. It then jumps to 4 bar's again and then repeats this over and over. This is happening at home where I always have full reception. I have tested my sim in 5 different phones all have full reception and don't lose connection only my Xperia 1 does! Any help would be appreciated.
Same problem for me. I switched my SIM from Galaxy S8 to X1. S8 has 4 to 5 bars while X1 struggles with getting one bar at home.
Ffs... The bars mean nothing. Sony phones take into consideration RSRQ(signal quality) and SINR(s noise) values of the signal. Other oem don't. The actual signal power RSRP (do not confuse it with bars) is same or better on Sony.
Xperia 1 has most advanced modem and antenna setup of any 4g phone. 4x4 mimo even on low bands (first to have it).
3uk and ee are special in the sense that they need phone to support volte to get access to their low band spectrum(band 20).
So make sure you have volte aka 4g calling enabled and check with apps like Netmonster or Cellmapper the band and RSRP of the signal. Then compare it with other phones at the same place.

If it's as simple as that why is it not enabled on this phone already?
I think what you seem to be over looking is the fact that I and others here have said that yes the bars are lower than other phones and flutter slot but also to the point where they drop completely and give no reception at all. A situation not faced on other phones.
Can you explain how we enable this missing band so that the phone can provide a more reliable/stable reception
Does your phone have 3uk volte(4g calling) enabled? Phone should stay in 4g during call. If not then you are out of luck.
ee users can install EE firmware to get Volte working if it's not already . newflasher on xda helps to change firmware.
And please compare signals with abovementioned apps.

If you're having signal drops / dropped phone calls etc... I get it. But Sony is historically notorious for showing lower signals than others on those bars. However, as stated, the bars are pretty meaningless. I've owned many Sony's, and while the bars are lower (sometimes all empty), I still have signal in all the places I should. YMMV.

I don't honestly know. My phone was purchased sim free from carphone warehouse and I use it on 3 network. The phone just set itself up. How would I check this? Is it something listed under network settings?
It's so frustrating as I'm really loving a lot about this phone but just want it to be comparable at least with my other phones I've used with call reception
those who are having signal problem, are you using EE network?
I saw lots of people with EE reporting this issue on official sony forum.
Got mine yesterday from Vodafone and signal is perfect !

I also have only 1 bar... Orange.
If you are EE UK user, then you need EE firmware on your Xperia 1 to get best network compatibility(Volte and low band support because of it).
3UK users probably need also 3UK firmware but that does not seem to exist yet.
This weirdness of low band access is specific to two UK operators. Everywhere else the device is fully capable of best 4g experience.
Wait Next update

So for those of us on three network but purchased the phone sim free are stuck with the problem as three do not sell this handset themselves so unlikely to release any firmware for it.
That does not look good for me so I think I will need to return within my 14 days.
Shame.
There's definitely a network connectivity issue with the XP1 right now though. This seems to affect only XP1's on the EE network, which were *not* bought from EE direct, i.e. ones with stock firmware. (e.g. mine!)
The symptoms are that periodically, first the 4G symbol disappears, then the signal goes to zero and you've lost the internet. Then it reconnects back onto 4G again. Sometimes this repeats 3 or 4 times in succession. The whole thing takes from 5 seconds to maybe 30 seconds depending on how many re-tries.
You can go for maybe an our or so without a problem, or sometimes it happens like every 10 minutes.
And here's the key part: this happens wherever you are, even on a full strength signal. As far as I can make out, this affects ALL XP1s with stock firmware on EE. EE say it's a Sony problem. Sony say it's a network issue. So we are all stuck.
Does anyone know of a suitable network logging app, which will log 4G disconnects and signal loss, so we can provide evidence to EE and Sony?

(My phone is fine with a Vodafone sim. There's something specific to the phone firmware/config - timers, buffer sizes, packet sizes - whatever - and the EE network. But right now, on EE, it's unusable.)
Hello, this is my first posting thread, but i need some serious help for my Asian LG H930DS (with Europe H930 Android 8.0 OS), i wanted to try solve 2 issues, from which 1st one wasn't that much important to me: hotspot not having option for choosing 5GHz, and always having slower wifi than it should be(using tp link archer ax20). For 1st issue, i was following instruction i found on this site:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv30/comments/kpsubf
,so basically i dialed *#546368#*930# for hidden menu, gone to Field Test -> WiFi Test -> OTA Setting, clicked enable and core both(i don't remember if it was already enabled or not, but i remember for core both being already ticked, wifi turned off when i clicked enable ota thing, hotspot wasn't working till restarted phone), not only it didn't help at all to get that 5GHz option in hotspot settings(which was always max giving wifi 4 n standard, checked in properties on laptop), but it somehow messed up to my wifi works worse and better at same time(will explain), neither restarting my phone helped to get everything like was before. Basically what happened is that on wifi, which was earlier always showing 866Mbps in settings, is now double reduced, now showing 433Mbps. Before i messed this up, i was always having wifi speed of around 150-160Mbps on speedtest with those 866 showed in settings, which is 2nd issue i mentioned that wanted to try fix as saw in some tp link forums people complaining about that lower speed on v30(yes i'm aware that my phone doesn't support wifi 6 ax standard which my router have, but it's still too small score for ac standard when i have 1Gbps internet). After i messed up, speedtest was surprisingly showing 250-260Mbps, but was also having big downfalls during testings and in end result was even more times showing just around 80Mbps, while earlier when was 150 weren't big jumps and falls during testings like now. On tp link site for settings router, for my phone was always showed Tx/Rx rate 866/6 , while now after messed up showing 325/433. Also noticed that now when restarting phone, in settings not showing up 5ghz wifis for 2 min or so, not big deal, but little detail i noticed, slower loading them now only after booting up phone. Sorry for longer text, i really hope someone can help me bring back how it was, to showing again those full 866 speed, no matter if speedtest shows "just" 150, but to be stable.
Is there any possible fix for this before i try with wiping out whole phone and restoring everything from backup? Will that help, or whole process will be useless?
Sorry, I don't have any better advice for you... sounds like you made some changes and things are weird now.
One thing to remember about wifi is that it's not always consistent anyway. Speeds reported by devices can change for MANY reasons. For example, distance from the AP, angle to the AP, interference from other APs, and many more. Using these numbers to say there is a problem is just going to make you crazy unless you are in a controlled environment.

Yes i'm aware for wifi not being consistent and all those factors affecting on wifi, in fact today was suprisingly stable 150-160 speed, but i can still see there's definitely some problem when is showed 433Mbps in settings instead of 866 like was earlier at same distance from router, and on tp site settings too for Tx/Rx rate being weird like said in text and showed on screenshots. In fact only my device from all other devices home have weird proportion to Rx(recieve) be bigger than Tx(transmit) and to showing Rx to be those "max" 433 which is wrong
I'm thinking that maybe having Europe OS in Asian device have to do something with that wifi modem problem, maybe i'm wrong, so not advicing anyone to toggling OTA settings. I'll still wait before i try that complete wiping out phone(not even factory reset), or will let it be, still undecidable for that, but thx for help, any help really appreciated!
Again, those readings are not very important and will vary often. Those are theoretical values based on the connection type. In the end, the actual speed you get is really all that matters. For example, my laptop is showing up in my router at speeds like 706, 702, and then suddenly 585. Sometimes it will show 866/6 as well... so a very asymmetric reading is possible. And I'm sitting about 10-feet with clear LOS to my router.
It's not meaningful to worry about those numbers. Unless you're having an actual speed problem, it's not worth worrying about those. There are way too many things that can affect those values (dynamic frequency changes in the router or the device, interference, power management things, etc... there's a TON going on behind the scenes. Just because your device or router says it's on that number for a moment doesn't mean that it won't ramp up when there is a need to do so (or ramp down when there isn't).
EDIT, there's a nice long explanation about the tech here, if you're interested: https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html

Didn't read all from that site, but i saw for MIMO thing, and my phone(snap 835 specs says it) support that 2x2 MIMO with speed up to 866, but looks like you were right, not related to those showed numbers, i was getting good speeds of wifi. I still just now refurbished whole phone as i saw that battery is draining drastically faster after i messed up that wifi showing numbers, now when i put actual h930ds firmware in it(early oreo), and connected to wifi, i checked and saw those 866Mbps, so that thing is fixed, but not just that, i also saw in tethering hotspot that i now have option to choose 5GHz which wasn't there, from where i started all this mess at all. Now planned to put Europe H930 OS latest oreo back again to see if maybe that different OS have to do something with that not showing up 5GHz hotspot option, and on top of everything: to hope that battery was draining faster because of that wifi problem and not because of battery itself, as i have phone now for more than 3 years, which works like 1st day. Will tell results
Excellent, glad you got it figured out and back to working normally! Sorry I couldn't be of more help for actual steps, but you got it done, so great job!

You did help actually, as that site seems one of those rare ones which goes deep in explaining all about those connection stuffs for people like me who don't understand that much about it in details, and with today's standards with phones connections with reality of scores using WiFiAnalyzer and not some marketing bs, even if i didn't read all, i will as saw how well are explained and done tests, and also helped to realise that numbers showings don't seems to be reliable much(when it comes to those numbers from settings unlike on speedtest app). Also i just now refurbished phone again on that latest Europe Oreo OS, and seems like there's no 5GHz option available in hotspot, so to all people wondering about not having 5GHz tethering hotspot on their LG V30, it's because Europe restricted it (H930 Oreo OS, i don't know if that's case with Pie), it gives max wifi 4 n standard(again checked on laptop in properties for connected wifi hotspot from phone), it's same thing for recording fm radio, as on Europe OS there's not available that red button for recording it, while on Asian one there is on bottom right side. I'm thinking if i should use original H930DS Asian OS even if i'm in Europe, but i didn't see any benefits or downfalls when it comes to carriers here(didn't much travel to check for other countries in Europe, talking for my place), as it works for both OS everything, and can still have VoLTE i think? Will everything works fine in any Europe country carriers and stuffs? Or is there maybe bypassing this issue to get 5GHz hotspot on Europe OS by changing wifi settings launcher like appearing recording button on fm radio app is solved like that?
Glad that link helped. Yes, Wifi is rather complicated and the numbers we see on boxes and devices is rarely realistic or even attainable.
Beyond that, Wifi also has other issues... it's a nice system when it works, but it has a lot of issues in crowded areas. Here's an older article which talks about why Wifi kinda sucks, in general: https://arstechnica.com/information...hat-a-deep-dive-into-why-wi-fi-kind-of-sucks/
The key message there is that Wifi is shared, so if the router or device sees another device on the same channel, then it may be forced to wait, thereby reducing the bandwidth you'll see. A lot of people don't realize that. Heck, in the older days, wifi would only run as fast as the slowest device... which was even worse!
Again, glad to hear you're working well. Interesting that the 5GHz is not available on the European OS. I don't know enough about that situation, so I won't be able to help there. Generally speaking, I would recommend seeing if you an use the US998 firmware, which is the USA "Global phone" ROM... this works well in the US on any carrier, but may also work well on foreign carriers. I expect hotspot 5GHz would work as well.
I don't know about VOLTE in foreign markets. I know that in some cases that doesn't work in the USA (AT&T is one carrier who is awful about this). In other carriers, you sometimes just need to use their ROM - that's what I did for my Verizon-based carrier (I used VS996 instead of US998). For your case, you may need to ask others or read here to see Europe-specific info. I'd love to see what you find, just for my info... I'm always curious!

I'm literally blown away what i discovered from all testings i done, i hope people will read this, without any offense to anyone, everyone who think/said in other threads and forums everywhere that is basically same if you put European H930 OS in Asian H930DS device like having stock H930DS OS are WRONG. Yes, it's true for both OS supporting same modems for carrier networks and stuffs, but it's obviously for reason made separate OS for different devices, i never imagined that would getting proper wifi speed of 450Mbps and 460 every time i tested(in settings for wifi of course showing theoretical 866 speed), after i put OS that belongs to my device originally, never going back on EU OS. When it comes to 5GHz hotspot, button is there, but when you select it instead of 2.4GHz, button for turning on and off hotspot doesn't work, it turns off same sec you toggle on, only way to make it works is by enabling OTA on same way i mentioned in first message(dialing *#546368#*930# going to Field Test -> WiFi Test -> OTA Setting etc), but when you enable it, then again happenes same thing from before, to wifi in settings showing 433 instead of 866 , and on speed test not anymore 450, but 250Mbps, which is still more than previously using EU OS. After enabling OTA, hotspot for 5GHz worked(details coming next), but when you restart phone, even if OTA stays enabled, hotspot button again doesn't want to toggle on with selected 5GHz, till you again dial number to just click "enable ota" , even if it's already enabled, which is weird, so every time have to click enable OTA after restarting phone in order to make 5GHz hotspot works. When i clicked to disable OTA, in settings for wifi wasn't showing anymore speed of 433, but was showing 520, 650 unlike on EU OS where even after disabling OTA was still staying those 433 as "max", but(always some but) even if it was showing those "theoretical" 520 and 650, on speed test was sometimes 250, sometimes 320 speed, not anymore those 450, so will again refurbish phone to that same OS, and don't recommending anyone to using those OTA settings, it's not worth it for 5GHz hotspot, reason i staying on that OS is because of compatibility of modem for wifi obviously, my carrier have full signal too like with EU OS. When it comes to VoLTE, i'll be able to check that when change carrier package soon.
So about 5GHz hotspot, it's not worth it, here's what i found out: when hotspot is sharing mobile provider data, then, and only then, is true 5GHz hotspot, but it gives speed around 150Mbps(all tested on laptop), i don't know if that's good or bad, as i honestly don't know what is speed of my mobile data provider. If i connect phone to 5GHz wifi to share that wifi through hotspot to laptop, even with enabled 5GHz for hotspot, then of course it's not true 5GHz hotspot as guessing that antenna is being used for wifi, so because of that, it's showed on laptop in properties that is 2.4GHz band with wifi 4 n standard, interestingly enough, in that situation lg put to hotspot gives just 1 channel, but strong one, and because of that, sharing 5GHz wifi on false 5GHz hotspot gave result of 100Mbps speed. For 2.4GHz hotspot, it's around 60Mbps no matter if sharing mobile data or wifi(no matter if wifi from 5GHz or from 2.4GHz).
Yes i'm aware all these are just numbers, i tested more times and got mostly all these same results, they still showed me big differences to see that there were definetly some wrong stuffs going on from phone and OS, so can't say that was maybe at that moment wifi itself interrupted or anything by other people here inside
Final verdict for people who can't reading all this: don't mixing OS with devices that not belongs to, in order to have way better modem wifi and carrier performance(still have to check for carrier one, but for now looks excellent), H930 and H930DS OS are NOT same when it comes to that, don't ever touch OTA settings, don't try to enable 5GHz hotspot on H930DS with OTA, not worth it at all, not much speed getting from it, H930 doesn't have 5GHz at all and don't trying to get it. Hope all this helps.
Here i am again with update, after restoring everything 3 days ago, i'm very happy about my whole phone, battery is excellent, wifi always being much more speed than i ever had earlier, carrier's 4g mobile data sign was appearing right away instead of waiting 5 sec or so. I'm writing this update to let people know that looks like you need to choose between performance of modem from phone(wifi and carrier network), and having VoLTE, as yesterday i changed carrier package which have VoLTE, and i didn't get it, neither can enable it using this very helpful tutorial, as i'm missing lot of files that Europe OS have: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-v17-x-volte-vowifi-enabler-2018-09-20.3649613/ , i'll maybe try to include those missing system files in my Asian OS even if they belong to Europe OS so to try enable VoLTE that way, if that doesn't work, then i won't have it, as for me is more important wifi speed. Main problem here is to get IMS service be registered with Europe carrier on Asian OS, even if i see that there are indeed ims files available on Asian OS, so that maybe tells something, maybe someone find some workaround.
Edit: there's no way to enable or make work lg ims service on that specific AME OS for some reason, i just now (again) put Europe OS as want to see if i can have VoLTE at all, so don't mind me switching OS , but yes, i tested wifi, it's indeed reduced speed with that OS than original one.
