Call Drops - Bad mobile network connection - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In have a non rooted Nexus 5X. Where I live, we have a bad coverage of mobile network in 2g, 3g and 4g. Although, with my falcon moto g and my potter moto G5+ I never disconnect from the network. With the bullhead, allmost every call gets disconnected. Has anyone the same experience, or a solution? This problem stays the same in Oreo as before on Nougat. Thanks in advance for reply of suggestions.

Unlocked signal problem?

I just unlocked my lg nitro hd and i either have no signal or 1-2 bars, rarely 3 bars. I also have to search networks and register on t-mobile everytime my signal is gone.
Signal always goes out in about 2 mins and Wifi is working fine.
Network mode is set at LTE / WCDMA / GSM
I'm running cyanogenmod 9.0
Baseband-V10j
I also resetted it to stock and i still get the same signals.
When i slip the sim card into my nexus one, i get 4 bars.
Any solutions?
thanks
Nitro HD doesn't support T-Mobile 3G frequencies, so you will only be able to connect to 2G towers. I'm assuming the distinction is that the Nexus One is connecting to a 3G tower which is closer to you.

4g+ ??

My OP3 keeps switching from LTE to 4G+. I have never heard of it until now? Is this only on the OP3? I have owned all the other flagship phones this year. None of them ever displayed this.
Yeah i see that too on T-Mobile.
Since i have never seen it display H+ , im assuming 4G == H and 4G+ == H+
Mine is doing the same thing on AT&T. Whenever I make calls it's goes to H which I understand due to no voice over LTE. But during some Google searches or videos it will flash LTE and then flash 4g+ back and forth rapidly. Even whenever I have full LTE coverage.
I think it's ok, and 4G+ only appears when high speed LGE datatransfer is active. I've seen speedtestresults above 150Mb/s
It's not HSPA. Under Sim status it shows network connected as LTE_CA.
Google tells me it's LTE Advanced.
Mine does this too, the fact that the icon isn't aligned properly bugs me out so much.
Same for me... Maybe there is issues with 4G+ and the OP3, so it tries to connect to 4G+, but doesn't work, so connects back in 4G.
Does anyone have a stable 4G+ connection ?

Check out my thread. It's a radio / software problem I believe. Should be fixable In an updated rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/radio-problems-t3405636/

G5 signal

Has anyone else had problems with signal on the G5 ?
I live out in the country and the signal has always been a bit hit and miss but I could always use my G3 inside and out, just had a new G5 and the signal is much worse.
Could it be a faulty phone (fine in town though) or is it just how they are, don't really want to go back to old phone but thinking about it.
Check if is so with both 3G, 4G

It's the same with both
Also takes much longer to find signal again once lost.
Wish i could help you. I use my phone in country side with 2g and to me the phone seems to act like all others i've had. You could try to change it but it can also be that for lower sars numbers the signal strength is lower.
It's been a while but finally got to exchange it and I've still got the same problem, annoying thing is I can get a reasonable signal on an old phone but not the g5.
Is there a decent alternative to the g5 for the £200 mark ?

An old phone might be using a 2g network which will be alot stronger in the country
Moto g5 is set to use 4g by default which is non existent in the country in some places
You can change it to force it to only use 3g though
Goto settings

Mobile networks
Preferred network type
Change to 3g
Some networks like Three in the UK don't even have a 2g network - their minimum is 3g
My advice is to do a Google search for what mobile phone masts you have in your area and what network owns them and get a payg sim for that network (or company that uses that network eg giffgaff use O2 network)
I've tried the 3g setting but it makes no difference
From past experience it's only really the o2 network that works around here, rest of the family have iphones and samsung all on the same network and it's only the g5 that is unusable.

you can always try adding/editing these entries in the build prop if you are rooted - no idea if it will make any difference though
Code:
persist.cust.tel.eons=1

2G / 4G while calling

Hi,
I've been using Android Auto for calls in my car and think I have a problem.
When I look on my screen I can see, that I'm in 4G. If I start or receive a call it goes instantly in 2G or H.
Now I've found the "extended 4G" option and enabled it.
So the screen shows now that I'm on 4G while calling. So everything seems good. When I drive into a not 4G covered area, it steps back to 2G (seems okay for me) But: I can talk as much as I want and drive into the biggest cities where I absolutely know, that theres 4G coverage, the phone never comes back to 4G while the call. It's locked into 2G.
When the call is over, it switches back to 4G as usual.
But why is it locked to 2G while calling when it's a little time not in covered 4G area?
Google VOLTE and SRVCC. In short behavior you have noticed is normal.

4g LTE missing

Hello all!
I have a new Motorola G8 play, using AT&T....
Currently I don't have 4g LTE at this point. It has an H by the cell signal icon.
I do have data, but it seems a little slower than I was expecting.
I tried a couple different APN settings based on web results, but they weren't the solution.
Any idea what I can do before I go to the AT&T store?
It can this phone get 4g LTE? I am in the US.
Can't go till tomorrow, so just curious.
Thanks in advance!
Yes this phone has compatibility with 4G LTE. Maybe your area doesn't have good reception for LTE? If so it switches to a lower quality but more stable ( because slower but stable is better than a stuttering connection)
