HI,
I have a very weird problem with my phone... and don't know what the cause of this problem is. One day I woke up, and had terrible signal on my phone... it would show 2 bars n Edge on the top. Then have no service at all. So I factory reset my phone and all that good stuff and still have the same problem. When I'm at my other house, I have 4 bars and HSPA+... at work I have no service at all.. When I'm in my car... it goes from no service to full service and so on... I know it's not my sim card cause I tried it on my Buddy's note 2 and it works fine... I haven't done anything to my phone but unlock it so I am able to use my videotron phone with my Fido carrier. Other then that I haven't done anything with it. I have tried every single thing on this forum, except changing the signal antenna... Does anyone have a solution? And I can't bring it to Videotron cause it's unlocked...
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey! Thx but I tried using the my friends sim card on my phone and it works fine... and vise versa... So it's not the carrier or the sim card... Its the actual phone itself... Someone told me to put a custom rom on it... but I kind of like the stock rom that comes with it. I purchased a signal antenna and will try that out when it arrives...

Just an idea, check your network mode through settings/mobile network/networksettings, maybe it has been changed. Or you can try *#2263# in the dial pad and see if it is set right also, I think it should be WCDMA All. Like you said it might be a hardware issue, but no harm done in checking these.
I'm waiting for Tmobile to send me a new phone for my wife.. Same problem.. And it just keeps getting worse.. I have spent hours on the phone with them and nothing helped so they agreed to send me a brand new phone

I have this exact same problem! No service at my house but my wife's note 2 works perfectly sitting right next to mine. Service is all over the place when driving around. Sometimes it will even show bars (service) but it's still searching for the tmobile network. But mostly the service is all over the place or not at all. The wifi calling feature works great and thank God for it, or I would never have service. I have since done a couple things to try to fix it. I have replaced the antenna module in the phone (its the part on the bottom back that has the loud speaker in it), I have rooted and flashed a new rom, as well as flashing several tmobile modems. Nothing so far has made any difference! I am beside myself as I have no warranty and no chance of returning it. Please please please someone help us!

Life saver for me with that dial pad code. Thank you!
Recently switched it to only 4G and when in bad signal areas, phone is useless and couldn't remember that code.
Stored that sucker into contacts, lol!
Appreciate it, going on a trip and need phone for navigation.

Which one did you set it to for it to work for your T-mobile, I have the same problem.
I thought T-Mobile is GSM, not CDMA? I wonder why it worked for you?
Which option did you set in that menu? Thank you.

Just wanna say thanks to you... Was having piss poor signal after switching roms/upgrading to 4.3 and had the worst signal as in before it was great. You gave me the idea to check networks.. it was set to use lte/wcdma/gsm.. I changed to wcdma/gsm only. Now I have all bars back.. Thanks!

Do you get LTE service?
I have exactly the same issue. Replaced the USB port board and since then I have terrible signal. I ordered new antenna wire and replaced it, but it did not help. while driving the hpone is balancing between full bars and no bars. At home bu my dest where I used to have 1-2 bars I have no service at all. I restored factory settings but it did not help. I'm sure it is not the service cause this same SIM works fine on another phone. Of course T-MOBILE (I use SOLAVEI but it is based on T-MOBILE network and service) is of course GSM so setting phone to CDMA makes no sense.
There are 3 connector pins on the plastic frame piece which is removable. One must remove that frame to get to the antenna or other pats (i.e ribbon connectors). I 'm not sure what is the role of those connectors or if they have anything to do with antenna or signal strenght/reception. Any ideas ?
IF ANYBODY MANAGED TO FIX THE PROBLEM (especially for Note-2 T_MOBILE phone) PLEASE SHARE IT !

Problem seems to be with the gsm radio you can select gsm only and see if you get any signal if not its the gsm radio but I don't know how to fix it
Try to wash the sim card carrier by jupiter oil . Tried and worked well.
Dear T-Mobile Note 2 Fans,
I absolutely love my Tmo Note 2.
However, I have one issue that's bringing me great distress and that I hope the community can point me toward a resolution.
I get no to very weak intermittent signal (no bar) at my home. Other places, I get normal signal.
Phone:
My phone has the latest stock T889UVBMD1. It's rooted. Immaculate. Never been dropped.
T-Mobile Coverage:
There's excellent T-Mobile coverage at my home area 2G/3G/4G/LTE.
Experiments:
I have taken my sim out, and inserted it into my wife's T-Mobile HTC One, and have gotten full bar 4G/LTE strong signal. Hence, This exclude possibility of bad sim or poor T-Mobile coverage in the area.
I have installed other modems (BMB4, VALL4) to no avail.
I have installed other roms (Jedi Master 16 to no avail.
I have used KIES to completely restore my phone back to factory state to no avail.
I have tried going into Setting ---> Network Mode and changed the settings to no avail
I have tried going into Service Mode via *#2263# and tried to force it to LTE/WDMA and WDMA ALL mode but to no avail.
I have used Open Signal app on both my wife's HTC One and my Note 2. It seems like the HTC One is connecting to the nearest cell tower. Hence, the strong signal connection. Whereas, the Note 2 is not connecting to the nearest possible cell tower.
Please kindly help me resolve this issue. Any other places aside from my home, my phone works perfectly fine. At home, I get no to very weak non-usable signal.
Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, what worked for me was going into network settings *#2263# and selecting (2) wmcda - all
I get full signal everywhere now & still connect to lte on the data side.
Thank you for the suggestion. I did try *#2263# but to no avail. Zero bar
As if there's an invisible force field around my house preventing JUST my Note 2 from the network.

Seems like the internal antenna is having an issue. Hmm, is it overheating?
Only reason I ask is I ran into this issue but with my old GS3. The antenna portion of the phone was burning up at times and not sure why exactly. So I decided Root the phone which resulted in a lost IMEI, injected it back in, still no signal and still the phone was still burning up. Long story short I just eventually just ended up taking it back to Tits-Mobile.

What worked for me was turning off lte, leaving at max 4g. My signal went from half to full.

Hi Sam...thank you for replying.
My Note doesn't overheat anymore than usual. It's operating nice and cool. I don't stress it out much...just the usual email, text, phone, web...and the occasional Candy Crush.

many people I've known all have experienced the same shiiiiiit from tmobile
i think tmobile is playing game on its users
tmobile knows where we live and reduce signal ....tmobile knows at home we gonna jamp their bandwidth ....cause we're on unlimitted plan
let's dump tmobile and go for Gosmart
Is that possible? I'm on the $70 PrePaid unlimited plan. There shouldn't be any throttling.
When I do take my sim out of the Note 2 and insert it into my wife's HTC One at home, I do get full bar speedy connection.
Perhaps, they are throttling base on the IMEI of the device, rather than, sim. That's just pure speculation on my part.

mine is on $70 pre-paid as well...but can't watch Youtube without having buffering; annoying and embarrassing
my coworkers are on Gosmart $45-plans and watch movie online just fine.
My N2 all test speed @ 20Mbps ....but it's just for show; there is no use.....cause when I tried to download a file just 40Mb....it takes way too long relatively to its speed test.
I think the name Gosmart is realy "go smart"
I regularly lose data on my G3.
The 4G LTE icon is still there, but i would only get upload arrow blinking, giving me no access to internet.
if I reset the phone i get my data back, or i could just go in and out of the airplane mode.
any thoughts on this ?
both me and wife's phone has this problem, as well as 2 of my friend's.

From an earlier thread...
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/07/t-mobile-lte-network-stalling-or-dropping-out-youre-not-alone/
This happens on my m8 as well. Its a network issue.
discussed here as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/help/intermittent-data-drops-t2825961
I don't know it's whether handset or network, but the situation isn't much annoying as it used to be with Note 3 in NYC.
With Note 3, I have to toggle few times a day, but with G3, I don't remember how many times doing this.
I can confirm the same thing with both my white G3 and my wife's white G3, they both just lose data connection with no traffic being sent or received, despite having a -59dbm for our signal at home!
I confirmed on both devices that no data was being sent with the Internet Speed Meter Lite, showing no traffic on the data connection, but active LTE connections on both.
As mentioned by others, pushing them into Airplane Mode and then back gets the data flowing again, but it does stop again later in the day. But they both don't lost connection at the same time (though it has happened several times of both at the same time), one will have an active connection while the other would not.
This seems to be a handshake issue, whether the handshake is expiring or is not accepting possibly.
It's also happens throughout NYC with us, at home, midtown Manhattan, Queens, etc with no known symptoms to cause it or time issues, such as every hour or so, or amount of traffic. Whether constant streaming or just idling, the data connection just dies out.
Happens on my note 2 as well, it's T-Mobile. It will be a while until their network is stable. Last year I went through 6 month of 2G speed on a 4G network because they are upgrading to lte

Thanks for that info, I just came over to T-Mobile after 10yrs with Sprint just last week, so this is my first experience with LTE on T-Mo, so I wasn't sure if it was the G3 or T-Mo.
But, I have other co-workers who have had LTE on their T-Mo phones since this time last year. The fact that T-Mo might still be having problems with their LTE service for this long should be something fixed already. Unless they're getting around to it with their Wideband LTE upgrades.
I have an unlocked 10 running on T-Mobile US. I previously had no problems at home with a 4G LTE connection. But after updating to 1.53.617.5 this week, my LTE signal at home has completely disappeared on me. What's worse, the phone shows full bars, and won't drop to a slower connection. I have to manually switch to 4G/WCDMA (Auto) and use the slower 4G connection, which I presume is HSDPA.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I even did a factory reset, but it didn't help whatsoever.
Between this and the weak Wi-Fi, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this phone.

My LTE and wifi signal are slightly weaker on the 10 than what I'm used to seeing. Also on Tmo US. My LTE drops when I'm not upstairs lol. I took the ota when I first started up the phone so I can't speak for the other version.

I just tried wiping the cache partition. No dice.
I installed the OpenSignal app to see what's going on. It seems that the phone is locking onto a cell tower that's many miles away (in the middle of a river!), instead of many LTE cell towers that are only a block away from me. This makes no sense. It also indicates full reception.
The latest update definitely messed something up. Perhaps it's related to the "Wi-Fi stability enhancements".

I have this problem as well, spoke to T-Mobile and of course they tried to blame it on the phone saying that they cannot guarantee that an unlocked phone will work with their network. I proceeded to tell them that the phone was listed as fully compatible with T-Mobile's LTE network they had no answer. I know it's not a solution at all but I'm on T-Mobile's prepaid service so at the beginning of next month just before I need to make a payment I'm switching to AT&T to see if that is any better
I'm somewhat disappointed and I really don't know if I should return the phone or not

While I do think the 10 doesn't get a signal as strongly as other phones do (my S6 was great), I think the latest firmware (1.53) has impacted reception for the worse.

I shouldn't have to flash the phone to get it to work. Also, the purpose of getting the unlocked version was to have a carrier-free phone.
The more I use this phone, the more I notice that LTE connectivity is screwed up. It likes to lock onto the wrong cell towers that offer no reception (but still display full bars).
What's interesting is that when I turn on Wi-Fi, the phone locks onto the correct cell towers.
Forget the camera; HTC needs to resolve all these radio connectivity issues!

I agree the purpose of getting the unlocked phone was to not have to have a carrier branded device. I noticed that as well with the phone connecting to be incorrect tower. It really is frustrating because I've already started paying for my phone so I don't want to have to return it, I like all aspects of it physically but something has to be done about this reception. I used to get 4 to 5 bars and now I'm lucky if I get two
This is really ridiculous, I've only had my phone off the charger for just over an hour and I've used 10% of battery. I don't keep Wi-Fi on all the time I only had to turn it on to use Wi-Fi calling because my signal is so bad, HTC really needs to do something with the radios in this phone because the poor cell signal is just killing my battery life. Is anybody experiencing this same problem?

Root your phone and then install better battery stats or gsam or any other utility that can show you specific wakelock stats and info. From there you can use that info to track down the specific wakelock.

Hi all, I just recently bought this pixel 6 pro a few weeks ago and I've been having horrible connection issues. The main one that plagues me is when all of a sudden, for no reason, I lose mobile data connection. I have some bars of signal with the LTE or 5G icon but with an exclamation point in it. Or sometimes it just loses signal randomly like in the screenshot below. Both screenshots were taken minutes apart.
I've noticed this was an issue for most people and have posted about this here, but I haven't seen anyone complain about it recently. Is there a fix for this problem?
Unfortunately for a great manu people, myself included this phone has garbage reception. There is no known fix.

My troubles began after I updated the phone to A13 enrolling to Beta and then leaving it.
The problem was that the phone will be stuck to H+ all day although weI have good coverage of 4G and 5G in town. Sometimes the connection would just drop and I had to engage flight mode to reset it.
Yesterday I decided that I had enough and did the reset of network settings. Today I have noticed that the problem was solved. Now I have 4g and 5g as in the past. But the problem now is that the Internet just would not work from time to time although it shows full bars. Had to use aeroplane mode again today about 3 times.
It's very annoying to say the least. Had thoughts of changing the phone. Not even speaking about heating issues when on mobile. Horrible.

Same here. Super slow connection even in areas with towers close by.
Been having this issue ever since I updated to Android 13.
Having only had the phone for 2 weeks, I took it to my provider who said all they can do is return it to Google. With both my eSIM and my physical sim dropping out together, apparently its an RIL problem. They did say that if it's just an issue with one SIM card, replacing it will fix it.
I think this can be solved downgrading to android 12.1 dev you can downgrade to android 12.1 without downgrade bootloader it's safe and don't brick your device because it's a android 12 that runs over android 13 bootloader. Keep in mind that this will erase your data permanently! Do a backup before do it
This has been happening since the phone came out. This is due to the old modem they are using from Samsung. There is no fix.
My coworker has this happen with his 6 Pro, while my 6 is perfect ironically. He has verizon, I got tmobile. He has to leave the store to make a call, but I don't. This has been for the last 6 months though

Hi all, I just recently bought this pixel 6 pro a few weeks ago and I've been having horrible connection issues. The main one that plagues me is when all of a sudden, for no reason, I lose mobile data connection. I have some bars of signal with the LTE or 5G icon but with an exclamation point in it. Or sometimes it just loses signal randomly like in the screenshot below. Both screenshots were taken minutes apart.
I've noticed this was an issue for most people and have posted about this here, but I haven't seen anyone complain about it recently. Is there a fix for this problem?

Had the phone sent away to Google for repairs as the issue ended up happening when I was showing my provider. Got it back and Google said there were "no issues" with it and they couldn't replicate it with either SIM type. Either they put out a hotfix or it magically went away, but I'll see how it goes after using it again.

If you've got another phone (5G compatible), you can try to see if the problem is the phone, or the actual network coverage.
Also, something else you could do is switch to 4G and see if the problem persists.
The thing with 5G is that the coverage is really spotty. That's in general. I don't live in the US, so I don't know what the actual coverage is over there. But that's a general thing with 5G. It cannot penetrate as well as 4G, and even worse than 3G or 2G. When you increase frequency, you lose distance (coverage). So basically 5G needs a lot more repeaters to get proper coverage.
But you could try another phone in the exact same area. Oor..try to switch to 4G and see if the issue still occurs. You could also call the carrier and ask if they have any idea why is this happening.

Facts, I changed from 5G to LTE as my preferred Network and have much better connectivity

Same with me. I keep 5G turned off for a couple reasons.
1, battery life.
2. 4G is fast enough for me.
3. Better signal.
