I purchased the HTX One X last Friday after some low life stole my Xperia S in Norway. So far I like the phone, however I'm have a major problem due to unreliable and intermittent 3G signal. The data speed varies significantly from a good connection to complete drop out over a period of a few seconds both at home and in the office. I also think that the continuous signal drop out is killing the battery life as the phone is continuously searching for a signal. The phone was purchased sim Free and I have a Three sim only contract. .
By comparison my Xperia S (also on three) had a really fast and stable 3G signal. I also did a couple of tests tonight using my old Iphone 4. The Iphone averaged 2460 kbps using the speed test app while the HTC averaged only 542 kbps. It was also noticeable that the Iphone gave consistent results while the HTC was pretty random and often couldn't finish the test.
I'm pretty certain that this is a faulty phone and will try and return it tomorrow for a replacement. however before I take it back I just wanted to check if anyone has had a similar problem and if they found a solution.
At the end of the day I'd prefer to stick with the HTC but if the connection issues cannot be resolved then I may have to go back to the Xperia S
What is your Firmware Version ?
I had the same issue with poor signal o2 uk, with 1.26 software but after upgrading to 1.28 my signal strength improved! try checking for software update and see if that helps!!
software version is 1.28.401.9
I have sw 1.29. Sinne yesterday i have a very Bad signal. I changed my sim i placed the sim in my iphone. Sim and network are working correctly.
Now i have in good network areas only 2 3 signal bars.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I checked now again the hox. I have no 3g signal. Only edge.
exchanged the handset yesterday and the connection speed seems to be much more stable. However I haven't updated the firmware from1.26.401.2 as I'm concerned that the update may have caused problems on the previous phone. If I update and experience the same problems is there a way to change back to the original firmware version?
Everytime I walk into a closed building with other people my G3 is always the first phone to lose data connectivity.
Other times, it shows full HSDPA+ signal, but data il painfully slow as well. I live in a densely populated city where signal should NOT be a problem. I am currently on V10j-global and kernel 3.4.0
Same problem here, my old phone (HTC one) has 4G signal in my apartment, whereas G3 does not, with the same SIM card
No issues here. Reception is the same like on other phones.
Have you tried flashing latest Kitkat firmware?
I have the latest community build installed on my oneplus 3. I have jio 4g and airtel sim cards installed (india). There is a lot of signal fluctuations even at places with excellent signals especially on airtel. It has been like this since I bought this device. I do online gaming ,which made me notice all that high ping which then gets normal and then goes high in a rhythmic fashion which makes it unplayable.. Whereas I had one plus one before which worked flawlessly. When I deactivate jio 4g , my airtel works better
Suggestions please
I get signal fluctuations a lot, but only with CM14 roms. OOS and roms based off of it have stable connections for me. Maybe try CM14 and see if the opposite case works better for you.
Recently with the latest oxygen os 4.x.x, I have been facing many disconnections with vowifi/wifi calling. This is really frustrating as I need it in certain places like in school buildings where I don't get reception. I don't remember if I got this behavior with the openbeta builds but I am curious if anyone else if having similar issues. Just for clarification, I am running a T-Mobile sim.
Nope.
I don't use wifi calling as I can't keep a stable wifi connection at all on this phone. Wifi is horrible on it. My wife's g4 plus is rock solid on the same Google fiber router. My op3 loses connection about every 3-4 mins and reconnects.
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.

I also have to occasionally switch on/off airplane mode when the phone cannot connect to the internet from time to time
i agree, terrible signal problems, all time. I`ll try to reset all network settings
for me it`s a disrespect from google to treat all final user like beta tester
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

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.
