Have had several of the XDA family from the iis, exec,mini/s etc. Just got a nice Orbit from O2 and have spent literally hours attempting to get the damned thing to connect to my wireless router.
Never had an issue with the other XDA's, just enable SSID on the router, switch on the device wifi, when it sees the router, connect and enter the wep key. Hey presto, it works. Not this damned Orbit...
I do all the correct stuff, but what happens is that the key input notification goes, the wifi icon on the top line cycles for a few times and then just goes to the 'mast' icon. If you look at the available networks page, it shows the network as Unavailable!
Click on connect, it goes into a Connecting state, and then goes Unavailable again.
I have tried without any WEP security active (totally open netwok) and it does exactly the same. No setting on the 'performance' screen makes any difference.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My home network is 802.3b (not g) ... I haven't tried another network yet as I know my router is working fine (my mini/s still connects OK). Is it perhaps a faulty Orbit?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Maybe the problem is that it doesnt have wifi? Or at least the MDA Compact 3 doesnt anyway
The Orbit has G Wi-Fi and it certainly sounds faulty. Have been able to try connecting to any other networks?
WiFi solution
I had exactly that problem and I solved it by changing the channel on the wifi router. Some channels seem outside the Orbits reception range. Change it a few times until you hit the jackpot.
Did you change the energy options (from balanced to high performance)?
Without this setting my wifi doesn´t work at all...

Yep - done that. In fact, I have tried all 11 channels on my router with WEP both on and off. Still no-go.
What occasionally happens is that it will 'see' my wifi SSID (and that of my neighbours), but after a short while both networks go into an Unavailable state on the 'available networks' screen.
I have made a connection TWICE (both with WEP 128bit security, and each time on Ch11) - showing very low signal strength each time. The connection will survive for no more than 30 seconds and then drop out, never to reconnect!
It's doing my damned head in. Never had an issue with any of my previous wifi devices - I can only assume that there is a fault with the wifi radio section... its only 4 days old so will need to get an exchange from O2 then...
It was definitely a faulty Orbit!
Issue resolved.
Got O2 to exchange my Orbit for a new replacement.
WiFi working 100% now, and all as expected. I did nothing different in the setup of the new one - my only conclusion is that it was most definitely faulty.
So, for some use if anyone has the same kind of problem (and bothers to use the search facility), if your WiFi is 'deaf' and cannot see your router or won't stay connected, then suspect a faulty device.
Sigh - updated to O2's WM6 rom and now the damned wifi is stuffed again.
Anyone got any suggestions? This thing is driving me nuts. Is there an updated radio firmware that fixes the poor wifi or is it a hardware issue?
I had this little snag (OR BIG ONE) when Purchasing a Belkin 54g Wireless Router, slightly different scenario since you're Router hasnt changed, What I proceeded to do was delete all the detected wifi network even my own and try wifi enumeration again, This solved the particular problem that I had,
whew!
My heart almost stopped when I read trap's 'faulty hardware' post!
I have EXACTLY the same problem... and EXACTLY the same hardware (belkin54g, wm6 on an O2 Exec).
The router was a freebee, so I am going to just go grab a old Trendnet and give it a go.
...keep you posted... but I think a re-flash is probably going to have to happen. Anyone know any stable wm6 roms?
No luck. The Trend does the same thing.....
Hunting around on the forums here I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251969
Sounds like we have an wm6 that is incompatible to with 'g' s
I am having the same issue - what was once working is now not. I have a Belkin Wireless router, which my XDA has had no issues talking with ... however now, I just get 'Unavailable' on the XDA when I try and connect! Madness!
OK - after days of pulling my hair out, it has suddenly started working. To be fair I think that it has little to do with the XDA and more to do with the Belkin Router. I changed numerous things and suddenly it started working again, sorry I cannot offer any more help!
When I use the default browser, there is always an initial pause before the browser loads the site I have requested. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?
The pause can take up to 10-15secounds before it decides to load the site and its very annoying.
I´ve also this problem.
Fix?
Is this on Wi-fi or 3g? Or both
I've had a similar experience in the past while using 2g/3g. Concluded the DNS servers used by some mobile networks are very slow resulting what you are seeing.
It may be posible to specifiy an alternative DNS server to speed it up??
Both 2/3 g and wifi..
Any solution for this?
Thanks
If its wi-fi and 3g it wont be a dns problem, you tried clearing
some cache maybe??
Just a guess at a fix,
or try using a different browser?
Already tried both solutions... thanks anyway..
Anything else?
Which rom you using?
t-mobile, orange, or stock?
Its odd, mine sometimes does this. Mines sim free on a stock rom. Does it on orange or o2. Does it on different browsers too. It gives me the first few millimetres of render across the top bar then occasionally it just sticks for maybe 15 seconds. But it always does it at that first bit of loading the page. Most of the time it just moves like **** of a shovel from start to finish. Its not just on the very first connection either. You would possibly expect that first render to not be as snappy but theres no reason as to when it happens. Nothing major just something slightly annoying.
I also see this, WiFi and 3G.
Been using Opera mini 5 beta, the last two days, it is lot better/faster that the standard browser.

Ok.. i´ve just solved this problem regarding 3g browsing* but wifi browsing remains.
Any comments?
*Open the Phone dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* (note the symbols are backwards)
Tap on Phone Information
Scroll Down and set your Preferred Network Type to GSM auto (PRL) - NOTE this does not disable 3G or HSDPA! Speed tests still show I am receiving speeds up to 2.4mbps - NOTE there will still be the 3G and H icons in your status bar
This has fixed the connection dropout issue for me, please let me know if this hasn't helped for someone else.
Have just tried this and things do seem to load faster. Why would it have been set to WCDMA as defualt do you think?

Hmmmmm didn't cgreg 92 originally post this? Cut and paste is great and all but credit where credits due! Anyway ive done this already, thanks to cgreg92. But the occasional delay still happens on all connections. Its not regular, just an occasional pain. A fix would be good?
True... copy and paste... but didn´t assume credits..just pointed to a parcial solution to my problem.. now that i´ve cleared that... any solutions out there to slow wifi (with strong signal)?

This is a partial solution. It certainly calmed down my internet connection by 90 odd percent. But this slow occasional, sticking still exists on all connections. Interestingly, my internet connection now sticks about as often as it use to crash out. Its almost as if this method somehow forces the connection through. But like I say, it does occasionally still get stuck. I done this trick weeks ago now, and its still there, just alot better.

Hi all
A search of the forums revealed 5 potential threads similar to this but not quite (not same symptom, phone, modem ...)
Keep loosing mobile data connection...
I have installed X-note 3 and found that my mobile internet is intermittent particularly in Youtube where I frequently have to click "No connection , Retry" or "Connection to Server lost, Retry" and in Play Store and Gmail where the problem tends to occur on a screen unlock after it has been unused for a few minutes - about 3 to 5 mins.
I dont believe this is a ROM issue because I d/l various ROMS such as Revolution, Alliance, PacMan, Paranoid and still I get the problem.
I tried installing all 9 of these radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2044937 to no avail.
Also notice that if I set Network Mode to "GSM only" then this makes no difference to the problem (the default is "GSM/WCDMA Auto" which is what I've set it back to)
WiFi works fine.
Any ideas?
same issue here.
a lot of time trying to know why this happen. and i think it is due to fast dormancy.
the phone usually stays in standby in 3g... when you request some data it will automatically turn h or h+. Here is when you will notice the internet moving.
But unfortunately if you have some.coverage issues you can have this problem and then the programs instantly report no conection. If you insist you will see you can obtain connection. 5 seconds later 3g will appear again
It does not mind you will see the bars of coverage at maximum... if there is no quality signal you will have this problem.
I just have this problem at work. Not in other places.
But if you want a constant connection I recommend to keep for example online music while navigating...this will avoid the issue...unfortunately you will increase your data plan..
Yes!! This is exactly what happens.
So it can't be my specific phone but perhaps a hardware design or software issue. I don't recall this I happening before I rooted
Weird
Fixed it - so far at least
Fast Dormancy is the problem. It was enabled by default and I have turned this off. The connection is now fine and seems to be "always on". For me this is okay because I do not have any data limits or pay per MB for data. I do notice that new connections take a little longer to start (for example, time taken to access internet when opening up an app that is not currently running) . This is not noticeable for apps already running (in the background)
This explains ....

I just changed my SIM Card from a 3G SIM to a 4G SIM recently. However I met an issue, whenever I use the 4G Mobile Network for too long (like 1-2 hours), the phone will suddenly lost all signal for 5-10 minute before recovering the signal. The signal bar is empty, and it appears the "Emergency Call Only" stuff. Is it just me or everyone is encountering this problem?
I have no problem at all when restrict the phone to connect 3G/H+ network only, it only occurs when I connect to the 4G network for a period of time.
My friend that uses the same telco with me doesn't have such problem (disconnecting/no signal at all) when connecting to 4G network, and it doesn't seems to be the antenna problem since the problem does not happen when I connect to 3G/H+ networks.
What might likely be the cause? Is there any solution to this?
Sorry for bad English, not my native language
(I live in Malaysia, and using UMobile Telco. )
Now that you mention it, I have pretty much the same issue of losing signals, and the problem hasn't occurred ever since I stopped using 4g. I didn't notice it was because of that, because I changed the phone too while changing the sim. I have marshmallow by the way. Don't know if that might be linked to the problem.
Hello, I tried searching on XDA and elsewhere but could not find an answer so I hoping to receive help by writing my issue here.
I have bought two POCO F3's 128GB & 256GB on Amazon & Aliexpress respectively.
They both have the same issue when using mobile data (4g) loading websites and doing voice & | video calls like FB messenger there are interruptions like for a second there is no sound or video freezes. It does not happen on wifi or other phones.
I tried resetting APN, selecting proffered network to LTE, rebooting, switching SIM slot, resetting wifi, mobile and bluetooth settings. Updated both phones to MIUI Global 12.5.1 still no luck.
Country Lithuania (EU) carrier TELE2
We really like the phones, but this is pretty annoying as we do a lot of video calls due to quarantine and what not.
Amazon suggested to replace the phone but seeing as two of them having the same issue it will most likely will not help.
Anyone experienced these issues and came up with solution?
From what u described, seems to me is a bandwidth/mobile data speed problem. Looks like is not enough bandwidth for video call to work properly. So, what is ur bandwidth provided by ISP? What mobile data plan had from ur telephony provider? Maybe ur mobile data signal is low in the place where u make the call from. It can be so many reasons for the issue u confront with, other than a problem with phone itself (a hardware/software issue).
you can also try the latest china stable firmware 12.5.4

Hi, ty for reply. That should not be an issue, reception is great and we tried it in multiple locations. Our previous devices Iphone 6s/ Poco F1 worked flawlesly with the same carier.
Here is speed test done on mobile data.
Any other ideas?
Found this thread here and I found a solution. Apparently there's an issue with network interruptions in general, especially on phone calls. This can be avoided by switching on VoLTE and WiFi-Calling. This is what I found out over time.
Here's the fun part though: Through a little bit of research this turned out to be a vodafone-problem. I am just guessing you guys will be either also on vodafone or on the corresponding bandwidth in your country.
It seems to be a bug in the F3, but also something that happens when VoLTE is not activated for your SIM card. The phone will try to use VoLTE and this connection will fail, forcing the connection to reset. It will be back in 10-20 seconds, but this is of course super annoying whenever a stable connection is needed (like phone calls...)
Enter *#*#86583#*#* (86583 = VOLTE on dialpad) on your phone. and it will give you a feedback that the carrier check has been disabled. Note that this doesn't mean that VoLTE has been disabled. Checking the network for the capability is disabled then, which makes the setting visible on the SIM card settings. Same works for VoWifi btw.
Try playing around with those settings and see if the connection drops persist. I have no logical explanation why this is happening because what I am telling you is obviously call-related - and I do realize that what you're describing is about the data connection. For me this was related however and solved my issue.
Possible solutions:
a) try to get your service provider to switch on VoLTE for you (this worked for me). You're going to need to call support for that. They will reset your SIM card in the process. Reboot your phone and be done with it.
b) If a) is not possible, deactivate VoLTE in the menu that you activated with the code above. If you're lucky, this will stop the phone from trying to get this type of connection working, even though it's not available. This is broken exception-handling on the phone's side and Xiaomi promised to fix it. They are aware of the bug (since Aug 20th btw) and promised to push a fix into the next MIUI release
c) play with the settings and try to get the phone to not use alternative protocols, just 3G and 4G, also deactivate Wifi-Calling.
Hope this information will help somebody. If all goes well, Xiaomi will fix it and this will behavior will be gone in the next release.
same issue for me with 12.5.7
data interruptions all the time and full signal loss
very disappointed with this device from the day i got it.
O thought I'm the only one facing this problem.
It's so annoying to get an interrupted connection in the middle of the game.
not only game, and calls, i have too much trouble to get throught a call.
Hello all,
i was also affected by a similar issue.
In my case the symptoms were:
On mobile data/5G some apps would be accessing the internet but others wont..
I was able to overcome this by resetting the access point settings and then applying the ones found here:
Cytamobile-Vodafone Cyprus APN Settings for Xiaomi Poco F3 GT - APN Settings
apn.how
I hope it helps...
My fix for this occasional issue is to set the phone to '3g' only in network settings, then flick it back to '5g'. It seems to be area specific for me. Very bizarre.

I have the same problem, it helps to have the settings volte and vowifi enabled. Sometimes it looks low cell signal and loosing the connection.
Has anyone return for service the device?
It looks like we still have this problem, my F3 modem is crashing every few hours especially when it switches bands, very annoying.

It really is! We need a bug bounty for this
Hey I ran into the same problem in Hungary Vodafone Poco F3, 14.07 MIUI
4g net is working flawlessly but
Network connection is lost when start dialing
Nobody can reach me on phone
Enter *#*#86583#*#* (86583 = VOLTE on dialpad)
VoLTE select option turn on/off
Enter *#*#869434#*#*
VoWiFi select option turn on/off
I tried to switch on/off both but no solution just yet
sby has answer for this?
Where should I post this problem to be solved?
I also have this problem and I am from Iran. My mobile ROM is the global version. It seems that this problem is caused by the Poco F3 mobile hardware itself. If anyone finds a solution, please let me know, thanks.
