Hello
I got my xperia z2 D6503 2 days ago brand new sealed. I inserted my Net10 sim and it worked like 1 day and than I noticed that there was signal issue first I thought it was because of area than I found out it was phones fault since same sim card worked perfectly on my old xperia z and also on xperia z2 Tab and on my brothers galaxy s4. strange thing is it shows low signal only when LTE is on and I can send and receive text messages but I can't make calls. as soon as I turn off LTE it looses signal and no text or call go through.
I tried factory reset, 2 different sim cards, even bought new sim card, numerous restarts and nothing helps. searched web for this issue and nothing at all.
so anyone else had this experienced? any solutions?
thanks

Same issue with my z2... only when I hold it a certain way... I'm on Bell mobility in Canada and got the phone a few days ago.
I've been experiencing the same issue ever and I've had my phone over a month, I'm on EE in the uk running the .55 firmware. My phone is currently in repair to fix this problem so I'll get back to see if it can be fixed
Sony has no solution in USA and can't repair so I returned for exchange to seller. I though it was only me so looks like gonna be big issue

Hey, so did the exchange solve the problem for you? I am using NET10 as well and while I do get signal on all networks (2G. 3G, etc..) I notice that it isn't as good as almost any other phone I've had. I live in an area that has poor signal and places that I get 1-2 bars on other phones I get 0-1 on this phone, though when I'm in upper town where signal is great I get about the same as others do. I'm just not sure if my phone is defective or this is just how it is. I really don't want to wait to exchange plus the seller seems reluctant to do so..
I had to fix my APN (wireless &networks -> mobile data).
I Google the correct settings for my carrier(ATT/USA), and saved the updates and it worked IMMEDIATELY.
it's been solid since ever since. Note there are differences for the 3g VS LTE versions. Make sure you enter the right settings.
Good luck!

I did entered correct APN's as I mentioned it was working great for almost day and Than suddenly stopped working so if I had entered wrong APN's it wouldn't worked first time I powered it on. plus same sim card worked well on other LTE phone while was not working on my new Z2, so it was not APN issue.
Try rebooting 3-4 times and then wait. This should solve the problem.
Check the baseband version online and on your phone.
There is also a firmware update but you have to cable your phone to a computer and let it install the Sony software on the PC/MAC ... Mine updated yesterday...
Worth a shot if you haven't done so already.

Thanks man, it seems that's just how the phone is, maybe I can stop worrying so much about that now, especially since this Z2 I have has no defects that are so plentiful on other user's phones.
And like I said, it's not such a big deal when I'm in places with adequate coverage so it's tolerable. I updated to .402 yesterday and there isn't any change with signal but I'm holding out for more updates that can help out with coverage. I'm thinking once the Z2 is released in some way in the US (carrier or Sony store) that there will be an update then that may help us out.
I'm probably the last person to be offering advice in this forum, however, just a couple days ago I noticed I had no data connectivity at all. Calls and texting still worked, but no cellular data. All my APN setting were correct and even though airplane mode was not selected, turning it off and on again got my data connection back. Just something stumbled upon and I have no idea if it applies to anyone elses issue here. Just thought I'd toss it out there in case it helps just one person.

Solve which problem? The one i posted in very first post or the weak signal on my replacement? I did more than 5 reboots to solve first proble but nope.
Now this very weak signal worries me it loosed signal at places where my old Z was great. Hope this phone doesn't end up super problematic
Sent from my SGP521
Sony Service will service/replace the set, if needed. So please do check in there.
phone is amazing everything works smooth, but weak signal is getting on my nerves! looses signal very often and data gets really slow because of low signal even when LTE is available. I live in brooklyn ny and my xperia Z didn't have this issue at all. hopefully this could be fixed soon by software update.
Drop down quick settings from home and ensure LTE is ticked on.

They wont solve the problem what so ever !
One tech team even said "buy a new phone" !! such great customer service !!
They are wanting £150 for it so it can be "fixed"..... also wanting £40 for the month contract despite not having the phone !!!
I understand who you feel... they are no use what so ever and rude...
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.

Both of them do not work on t-mobile even though they have all the bands. Signal is strong. Is there some command that will let me check radio status ?Mate 10 has similar bands to Mate 9 and my mate 9 works fine even if I disable volte. Mate 10 sometimes will fail to make a phone call or if it is being called it will go straight to voicemail. When I get connected I can't hear anything on my Mate 9, but I can on op3t.
Is anyone successfully using it on tmo usa ? This makes no sense to me.
I did factory resets, different sims and had t-mobile refresh the lines

I've been using the ALP-L29 on TMo for a month now and no issues with voice or data. Just took the sim out of my Nexus 6 and put it into the mate 10. Didn't do anything else.
Maybe check the apn? As far as bands, you can download Network Cell Info Lite to see what bands the phone is connecting to.
I have had my Mate 10 (non-pro) for about a week now and I use it on T-Mobile just fine. Why not install a 3rd party app like Open Signal from the Play Store and see what is going on? Also an app like GPS Status is good for GPS functionality. The fact that you have two of them, and both do not work, makes me suspicious that something else is going on with them both...maybe they are not flashed properly with the correct regional software?

They both were brand new and sealed from 2 different sellers, they are different colors as well. I will check open signal app and see what it says. What I don't understand how 2 of them can have exactly same symptoms.

Yes, mine shows 4g but at times while at work it will drop to E due to the signal being week inside the building. I am also connecting on Band 4 most of the time.

Those were from 2 different sellers. Hard to believe that they would have exact symptoms.
They are unlocked. I checked open signal and it says lte. Anyone can recommend any troubleshooting that could be done? I would like to keep the phone but I need it to work. I do not think both phones are just not working in exact same way. At this point I am not sure what else is left to trouble shoot.
In attached pictures what is the sim neighbor #1 that is the only thing different because it is not on my mate 9.
More neighbors , but there isn't any on Mate 9. Also everytime phone call is coming in it switches to 2g. Mate 9 doesn't switch for phone calls. Overall the network cell info app shows that mate 10 switches bands a lot .
Edit
Another thing I noticed is that tmo visual voicemail will never activate on Mate 10 but it is instant on Mate 9
Spent hours with tmobile and this is because no volte on those phones. If I turn volte off on mate 9 it acts the same way. So mate 10 is unusable where I live. It goes to voicemail 90% of time.
The workaround I got is forward all calls to to my google voice number. Works ok since it can use lte just fine.

To the same rom. Now, are they ORIGINALLY manufactured with that same rom? I purchased a 4/64 mocha from amazon ALP-L29 and was functioning flawlessly. Then returned it and purchased a 6/128 chinese version, rebranded to ALP-L29 and its functioning flawlessly (with T-MOBILE) so, the only thing I can think, based on your circumstances, is that there has to be something messed up with the rom/firmware. I would try either an update via FIRMWARE FINDER or a full rebranding to the same ALP-L29. Thats what I would do.

There is nothing wrong with it. It's the lack of volte. If I turn off volte on my mate 9 it acts the same way. I talked with t-force (tmo support) and because of the towers around me the phone doesn't switch quick enough to edge to ring. If I leave it on edge it works fine, but it can't switch to edge from lte quickly enough.
WTF. Going to flash previous factory image. Not impressed !!!
There is a bug opened here https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/210484323
I getting the same also it goes dead for like a few minutes every so often
3 times in like 45 minutes for me .. so is the best to roll back glad they have that website flash andriod web
Just spoke to Google chat agent and literally she had no clue. Asked if I contacted my sim provider to check if that's not them. Then suggested sending it under warranty oh dear.
Of course she has no clue.. she's the lowest person on the totem pole, trained to answer questions like "where does my SIM card go in?"
If people want to get Google's attention go to the link @pemz82 provided https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/210484323 and star the issue.
Has anyone figured out a common denominator? Build version, carrier, etc? Or is it just the luck of the draw?
iomma try flash back the old radio
Yeah something is major wrong here.. They need to fix this really fast.
For me this issue started 10 days before the update. all of a sudden I had drops and my screen off drain jumped from 0.4 to 1.5. this leads me to believe that the problem isn't on the update but rather on a play store package. I think this only happens to people with dual sim or maybe users that only use esim.
This issue is definately caused by the December update (or a part of it).
I received the update and instantly noticed that I no longer had signal while indoors at my home. My wife also had a Pixel 6 (on the same network both using a physical SIM) and has remained on the November build. Her signal has remained fine.
for me the same thing after the renovation in the buildings every now and then exclamation mark and no possibility of a phone call
For me it's noticeable better today. Had no signal at all at home and today is much better. At the moment in have 3/4bar
...
I just saw a potential fix posted on reddit (Credit: MissAnneThrowpe)

I'm not surprised. There is no reason for that to work seeing it's a Google network/radio issue not a sim manager app issue. I'm always leery trying those homemade fixes that someone tried out on a friends phone. Also I don't believe it's the December update since it was happening on the November update as well, at least for me. The Verizon update page doesn't even have the Dec patch listed. I wonder if any carrier has jumped on the bandwagon or they held off, which is why no one is getting an OTA on Vzw or Att from what I can tell.

It's definitely the December update. I'm the OP of the https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/210484323
Both me and my wife have Pixel 6, same operator. I stupidly sideloaded the A1 OTA (well you know, I have the flashing fever ), and after reboot I don't have network connectivity in the house (or I have low signal near the window). Even outside, sometimes I have no signal, while my wife's P6 on November patch has full signal most of the time.
No to be full of sh##, I decided to took a picture of both phones, side by side. Left one is mine, on dec update.

So January update is here!
The wait is over! You might have heard about all the controversy that Google Pixel`s December update sparked, dropped phone calls, bad reception, tons of issues fixed and another tons of new issues introduced.
Well, the wait is over - Google promised to deliver a fix to the fix and here it is the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro January update!
Let`s see how well they did!
Mod edit: YT link removed
How does it work for you? Telephony fixed, i.e. call reception, call handover and etc?
Sadly I live in a "none Pixel supported" country, so no support from the operators resulting into no 5G, no Carrier Aggregation, even no LTE+ (only LTE) and sadly no VoLTE and VoWiFi.
Glad this update smoothed things out, coming from the s20 it definitely felt a lot less smooth but 90hz on the pixel 4 felt very close to s20 in terms of smoothness.
Now with January we're back to on par with pixel 4 in smoothness.
I never had any signal issues so can't speak on that.
Me neither but I did not travel that much since I got it... else the January update is really really really smooth it just makes me crazy that my S21 Ultra ... is so far behind - it`s buttery smooth as well but occasional stutters just ruin the experience.
I really like the Pixel 6 and hope that Google can fix it - some of my friends that travel complained from phone calls dropping, seems that it can not handover from cell to cell when you are driving on a highway and etc...
I live in a none pixel supported country, so no support from operators, no VoLTE, no VoWiFi, no 5g and even 4G+ its kinda of sad.
All signal issues fixed for me! USA on Verizon.

For me too, T-Mobile in Germany.
Fingerprint reader works better after update.
Right now my only complaint with my P6 is the fingerprint reader. Indoors it works great, outdoors (especially in cold weather) it's pretty hit and miss.

Same, it's drastically better than the December "update".
I don't know if it's due to the Jan update or me disabling 2G on my phone. I have 5G at my home with mid to full signal. I've never had that before, not even a 5G signal to begin with. Only when I drove away from home, I'd get some 5G.
also, my fingerprint reader stayed the same. It might have gotten worse since it's getting really cold/dry here. So bad that I just took off my screen protector and going naked for now.
cheers
Have 2 carriers on my P6 - "FREE MOBILE" works 4/5g with hard SIM card & "SFR France" works 4/5g and VoWifi with eSIM.
Before Jan. updt, had almost generic issues with FREE Mobile on receipt and sometime on call, no issues noticed on SFR on both ways.
After Jan. updt looks OK !!!! So far so good
@derausgewanderte I have also disabled 2G but didn't noticed effect
Funny, while everybody talked about the December update issues i didn't have any issues with it.
Now with the January update I'm having random reboots..
My phone is stock without any modifications, i think I'm going to do a factory reset this weekend and hopefully it will be fixed.
I'm with you. Have had zero issues until the January update. Freezes. Battery has been bad. YouTube is killing my battery. I don't use it. Have background data off. Battery to restricted. Force stop. Cleared cache/data and it is always the top of the battery consumption.
Looking at this thread in the community forums it looks like for some people there are problems even after january update.
Very poor or no signal - Google Pixel Community
It is interesting that there are people who had the problem and january update did not fix these, people which started having problems after january update and people whose problems were fixed after january update. Go figure what exactly google are doing with the modem but obviously it needs more work. I personally never got the december update and did not have any problems with november one. Now after january update i am also ok but on LTE only as 5G is locked in my country. I also have turned off adaptive connectivity and do not have volte or vowifi enabled (again locked in my country).
My Pixel 6 is fresh off the truck and the January update was job one, so I can't compare to earlier problems. 4G and 5G seem fine. The fingerprint reader is definitely half-baked. I managed to get one thumb enrolled after many tries. It's letting me in though, and that's what matters. Battery life seems good, not 5a good but good enough.
Still have occasional random spontanious reboots occasionaly ;(

In my experience it only lets me make a purchase under $100 without unlocking the phone. Otherwise it asks for the pin on the payment terminal. If the phone is unlocked, I can spent as much as I want without a pin on the card terminal. And this is how it's been for me the entire time I've used google pay, for about 2 years

Compass is rubbish in Google Pixel 6. I compare compass from Huawei P30 even Sony Xperia ZX Premium.
They very stable and show same direction. But Pixel 6 is like lottery, not stable, changing direction.
Is my phone faulty?
