(Q) Poor signal reception

Hello guys out there i've got a problem . . my arc shows full signal strength to me but in the Batteryusagestats the Bar for signal is not green just grey-ish.. and my phone always searches for new networks which results in bad battery life/lags. Here is a photo:

anyone got an idea whats going on? thanks for the effort!

If it wouldn't have signal it'd be red.
Don't know why it's black for you, maybe a bug. Try to update your phone

I've got the same,have no problems at all with calls or something else.

that's the thing, ive got no probs either, my batterylife is just amazing.. i left it over night and it drained 7% in standby it sucks as you can see.. but during the day i had music on for 7 hours and almost 3 hours of screenon time(~30 mins browsing & xda & facebook) + 2h30 of HD gaming.. but the phone lags .. the UI i mean no games or else.. :S and i think thats due to it searching for networks..

Ok , you can try to set the networkoperator manualy and not set to auto.

[Q] Wifi tethering speed

I have this phone rooted, but still am using stock. I have the 10 gig plan from tmobile so I have free wifi tethering. My question is..
My speed seems slower than on my phone when I wifi tether. is this because I'm using stock? And if I put another rom on, will it give me better speeds when I tether? I'm just curious..
Thanks in advance.

what are you tethering too? a laptop? there might be a app to change the settings to open the bandwidth with i suppose...i use a wifi router at home and use the 5ghz..and opened the settings to push and open more bandwidth..maybe theres a app regarding better then stock settings?.

That does show an increase, but it doesn't multiply my speed by 5. It just doubles it. I really want to get as close to the speed I get directly on my phone. Would flashing another Rom help? or any other wifi app?

so far i haev tried everything and this is the best results that i have gotten .

Clear the data for swype, you lose the dictionary but it will work after that.

It worked thanks

Updated last night just before bedtime and i'm having a few issues
How are you doing that?
I cleared the dictionary from the Settings --> Language and Input --> Swype settings.
That didn't resolve it. I'm noticing that many of the settings in this category are entirely unresponsive as well.
If I go into Swype from Settings--> Applications, the Clear Data button is greyed out.
Force Stop doesn't enable the button, Disable doesn't enable the button.
It also just continuously shows "calculating" for the space stats.

I'm ALSO noticing that this morning, I used my phone for 20 minutes to send some texts and try to get swype working, and used 6% of my battery!
Looking at the Battery chart, I see my "mobile network signal" is staccato, interrupted black and green, green only 50-60% of the time. Not sure if this is contributing.
And I've lost 4% more as I've been typing this on my PC - phone not even on. Total time since unplugged about 45 minutes now.
Any help on the above?

I made a separate thread for this since much of it is outside the scope of swype.

Just as an FYI - the latest Swype beta worked out of the box after doing the manual update to FF18 official.

Who's your telco?
Are your APN settings correct (Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names)?
Do you have the right network type settings set (Settings -> More... -> Network types, and/or dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Set preferred network type)?

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I forgot , I am on ATT. newbie to all this so not quite sure about all that APN stuff

Go into setting/more/mobile networks/network mode and make sure either lte option is selected as well as in access point names make sure att&t lte is selected

Check your APN settings and since you're on AT&T just Google "AT&T APN settings" and it should be the first link. I'm still new so I cant link yet. :/

Same problem here and connection to LTE is very intermittent. I'm on Telus and I've tried both the LH1 and LK4 modems to no avail. It always connects to 3G or H+ and then tries to connect to LTE and I see the following "dead" signal bar:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At which point if I try to place a call I obviously get the following error:

Question Can't switch 5G off since updating to Android 13?

Has anyone else has this option greyed out?

I have the option to choose between 5G,4G,3G,or 2G (Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Preferred Network Type).

Yep they've greyed it out even though my phone was bought simfree (unlocked)

If you scroll down a bit further, don't you have a Preferred Network setting?

Nope just a 'Choose Network' which is also greyed out

I'm at a loss, hopefully, someone else will chime in.
FWIW, mine is a US Model, puchcased from T-Mobile, SIM unlocked (using a T-Mobile SIM Card).

You could always just use the dialer code *#*#4636#*#*

Turns out certain networks have the option disabled, I had the same problem when using an ID Mobile sim but my Vodafone sim was fine. To fix the problem make sure your rooted as I don't know of any other way other than the one I'm going to show.
Use a file manage that can show you root files (I use MiXplorer)
Go to /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files
Look for a XML file that starts with "carrier", If you have more than one then you've used more than 1 SIM in the phone, Make sure you've opened the XML file for your SIM.
Look for the line "hide_preferred_network_type_bool" and change it from true to false.
Reboot.
Profit.
Hope it works for you.

I'm with Smarty (owned by Three) which also uses the Three network like idmobile so it looks like Three maybe the cul·prit

I'm on I'd mobile which uses threes network.
Type this *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, it enters a test mode.
Click on phone info which takes you to another screen.
Scroll down and you'll see a slightly gray box that if you click on that and scroll through you'll find LTE only.
Click it and that's it, 4g network only.
Restart phone, job done.
Pretty sure my battery also seems to last longer
