In my apartment I have been getting about 1 or 2 bars with TMobile. I call TMobile and end up getting a signal booster. The problem is when I got the signal booster hooked up it's saying it's getting a full 5 bars of lte in the same spot my phone is only getting 2 at most. So the booster won't actually boost because it says the signal is good, but my phone basically has dial up speeds. The way Thia looks is it's a problem with my phone but I don't understand what it could be. I'm running OmniRom with the current recommended firmware. Anybody got any idea on how I could remedy this situation? I already looked up the signal boosters supported bands and they're just 2/4/12 which is all supported by the mix 2. I don't have WiFi so this is basically my only option to watch anything online
Try a new sim card?

I've just bought a Chinese version of the mi 9 se and am using it Australia. I'm having problems connecting to mobile/phone and gps signal.
My phone signal bar is usually very low indoor (1 or no bar) and subpar even outdoor. It usually loses connection to 4g/3g and even normal phone voice/sms. I don't know if this is because of the phone carrier but this sim worked fine for my previous mi 8 se (also China). I'll try to test different sims/phones to see if they will make a difference.
GPS signal is also terrible. It takes quite a while (if ever) to fix on the satellites. The error is at least 20m or more.
By the way, the phone is running Revolution OS right now. I switched from xiaomi eu beta to see if it would improve but to no avail.
Anyone in the same situation or has any suggestion? Thanks
While using the phone in an area with good signal coverage, it works fine.
But when the signal levels are relatively low, the mobile data doesn't work/ terribly slow.
Compared this with some Nokia and Xiaomi midrange devices with the same sim (LTE enabled, same apn) but they worked without any issue compared with this.
Anyone experiencing the same issue??
Is there any way I can tweak/fix this??
(Samsung forums suggests resetting phone and it didn't work for me)
P.S : I am using the Exynos model (SM-A505F)
Hey guys.
Purchased it today,and just like every damn Samsung phone and tablet they still haven't fixed wifi strength signal with even such expensive phone.
So I was out of town and from like 7 wifi signals,only 2 were recognized.
And even when it connects the signal is so weak and it often drops.
Now I'm in my room now and like 3 feet away from router and I'm getting around 6.7 MBps speed instead of between 9-10 just like on my good old S7 edge.
I can't believe.
So is it my phone or others have the same issues?
I have never had a single issue regarding wifi signal strenght, I got my note 10+ since Sept 2019
So I came today in city park,sit on bench and turned ON WiFi on this phone.
Damn,it couldn't find nor any fi..ing single network over WiFi.
I rebooted it like 5 times and then it found one network and barely connected to it with very low signal,but in a matter of minutes it droped.
I had near me,Ulefone 5S which is 200 euros phone and it had better WiFi signal and found at least 5 networks,although with very weak signal,but Samsung couldn't find nor one WiFi network.
Because I purchased used phone ofc I can't return it or RMA it.
Am I the only one with this issue,and how do I resolve it?
But if I'm like in a caffee where is near router the signal is okay,but when I'm outdoors I have this issue,means far away from caffee routers.
Ok I did test outdoors compared with S7 edge.
Do you notice any difference,in terms that N10+ has some issues:
So there is one place in city,where there are lots ofi wifi networks but all of them have weak signal.
So I turned ON the phone and WiFi and it didn't find nor any single network,I turned off wifi on again nothing.
Here is the picture of that issue.
I also can not find what model of wifi card is in my phone,to check if it was replaced,so I'm suspicious about that.
Btw I don't have any wifi issues when I am on local coffee shops/bars nor at home.
Just at places where like wifi signal is weak and like there are many networks at that place.
So what is this issue about.
I just went to my balcony and simply this phone doesn't detect as many networks as some chinese phone,N10+ detected just 8 and chinese phone 13.
Then all of the sudden phone goes crazy in like 5-10 min and detects like 12 network.
And though signal strength is nearly the same between phones,I'm getting even 10 % lost in download when I do speed test and compare 2 phones.
so third video,compared to my tablet and s7 edge.
and I will post pics.
Correct me if I am wrong but on tablet and on the phone on the right yeah I see more network recognized but those have weak signal...
N10+ obviously doesn't list those networks for some reason (with weak/no signal).

As you do clearly see on picture N10+ is screwed up recognizing only one wifi network,and my Ulefone Power 5S many...so what is happening I dunno.
Even S7 edge beats it.
I had the same experience on my black note 10+ (4G black model), it would drop the wifi quite often during video playback while my Mate 30 Pro would just continue on the same network. That improved after I reset the network settings and cleared the system cache. I had/have a far more stable connection after that. As for the speed, the Mate 30 Pro would always achieve higher speeds than the note 10 +, no matter how many times I did the tests on both devices. As for the amount of networks it shows, my current note 10+ ( a 4G model but a white one) does only display 1 network at home while the Mate 30 Pro shows 5 or 6 different networks but all of them with a very weak signal strength. Besides them all being password protected I doubt if the Huawei would be able to connect with any of these so whats the point of showing all these weak networks. Maybe that's the reason the note 10 does not show them? Maybe the are filtered?
Both the black and the white are showing similar behavior, I have them both side by side and both are showing the same (single) network being available.
No problem with wifi with my Note 10+ N975F/DS, Good and stable connections.
I do confirm that in the wifi settings only stronger networks are displayed. When using app like WiFi Analyser I can see that there are more networks detected on the Note 10+ than shown in the wifi settings.
I do observe that wifi speeds on Note 10+ are lower than those provided by my Note 8, comparing/measuring side by side on same wifi network.
But in daily use the Note 10+ has sufficient wifi stability and -speed for my normal use, (matching the speed of my Internet connection of 100Mb) including streaming of HD-Video. I do not play online videogames.
Yep for some reason my Note 10+ doesn't show networks with bad wifi signal,dunno if it's just my model or you experience the same.
But for phone such expensive this is unforgivable.
Look here guys,it does recognize wifi networks with wifi analyzer but doesn't filtrate them so I can connect to them,same happens with my S5e tablet.
That's what I already stated...
You can however connect to wifi-networks detected in WiFi Analyzer (WA) by installing a plug-in (just click on the network in WA, it will prompt you what to install..)

Nothing is happening when I click on network.
You need a new director for your videos.
These devices are sometimes a complete mystery to me. I recently bought two Redmi Note 9T devices for my household to take advantage of 5G, which they do beautifully. But here at home 5G is spotty, at best, so 4G LTE is what gets used most.
However, my device frequently goes to LTE+ while my partner's never does, and since I'm the "master configurator" for the house I know that I have never done anything with settings that should have this end result.
I have the same issue as others have reported in that the signal strength falls so substantially when the switch to LTE+ occurs that the hotspot is useless. It always resolves when I reboot the device, and it will stick with LTE for many hours but, eventually, it will always revert to LTE+.
Is there any way to prevent this without using the previously noted app? My phones are not rooted and I really have no desire to root them, as there's no need otherwise.
Both devices are running MIUI Global 12.5.2 over Android 11 with the 2021-05-01 Android security update.
P.S. Sorry for necroposting, but this is one instance where the topic is already perfect, and things do change over time.
