Loosing signal/network - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Phone looses signal(mostly network) on different areas where there is signal. I read that this could be caused by updates, so I did a fresh install of latest A10 version (it did fix wifi problems), it got better, but still is not acceptable for daily use. Then I installed latest oreo rom, again it got a little bit better, but still not good enough. Afterwards I discovered that if signal has gotten weak setting preferred network type from 4G to 3G or vice versa gets connectivity back instantly. Also for some reason the sim slots are swapped in settings and slot 2 doesn't get signal at all(only saw this when I got oreo, can't say if this was present on A10).
Is this a software or a hardware problem? I got this phone in a pawnshop(had to get a cheap phone ASAP but couldn't afford a new one at the moment) a few days ago and if it has a hardware problem then I still have time to return it, otherwise I would like to fix it and keep it.

Seems like I have found a workaround, I installed latest POSP custom rom and set 4G/3G only in network settings, it still can loose network signal for a few seconds in a low signal area, but a few seconds isn't causing problems. Still have to do some testing but I'm inclined to think that this is a hardware failure, but if my workaround does the job I'm fine with it till I can afford to buy a new phone.

Phone loses reception, restart to get it back?

Love love love my Desire. Few little problems here and there (Music Genre, Battery life etc) but the one main thing that is really bugging me is, that if I lose reception (I live in a area with lots of valleys), it will never regain reception even if I enter a town centre or City. I always have to either switch Airplane mode on then off. Or more often than not, turn the phone off completely and switch it back on, where it then finds reception straight away.
Anyone else getting this?
I'm on Vodafone and using the latest Generic Rom
I'm not sure if this is the same problem, sometimes i
have no data connection (i guess 3x since i have the phone).
I see some bars but no Edge or H (3g) sign and obviously i have not data connection ... dunno if the phone part work, will try next time.
anyway, i could get the data connection back by switching from 3g to GPRS mode and later back. You can see in the bar that for a very short time all GSM connection is gone ... i guess it's similar to switching to airplane mode ...
Maybe it's worth a try for you, maybe it's totally useless
btw: i'm living in a city, the nearest celltower is just a few meters away.
I have similar issues but I had the same issues with my ADP, not just the Desire.
Inside my University buildings I lose reception very often and the GSM connection always reestablishes itself but not the Data connection. When I reboot my phone the same thing happens. There is a good chance that the Data connection wont initialize and I have to switch to Airplane mode and back to get the Data connection. Really frustrating sometimes :/
Another very, very annoying problem I have is that sometimes it shows a data connection but it can't be used. It shows E/3G/H but whenever I start an app which uses data, it always times out.
Another problem, which is probably not fixable, is that my Phone likes to jump between E/3G/H quite a lot and every time it does do so, it seems like the app using the data connection has to reestablish the connection. This led to quite some timeouts when it was constantly jumping around.
I get poor 3G reception on my desire ( orange UK ) , have to go outside in the rain to get a better reception

vodafone have been getting worse and worse of late, I travel from surrey to london (central) every morning and was getting the same thing. I was even getting this all the time with a blackberry 9700, It is not the phone as I tried tmobile sim card in the same areas and didn't have the problem. Only 8 months to go of my contract which I will not be renewing.
I have an issue where if I use wifI at home for an evening, when I switch wifi off, the 3g data connection does not re connect. If I re boot, it connects immediately.

Assuming Vodafone uses Sim cards. I just had the same issue, here in the states with AT&T. I thought my Tilt was at fault so I borrowed a little Samsung flip phone and put my Sim in it but it did the same thing.
I had AT&T replace my Sim card and so far, 48+ hours, it hasn't happened again on my Tilt.
Might be worth a try.

I have this same problem at home (in South London) with my desire and had it with my G1 too (both on T-Mobile). I'm pretty sure it's a network issue rather than android or the phone. I constantly have 3 bars of H signal and during the daytime it's blazing fast but after around 5pm and all day at the weekends it becomes basically unusable with network timeouts more often than usable connections. I work 40 miles away down south and I get a consistently fast data connection down there with none of the time out problems.
I also tried using a t-mobile sim in a 3g dongle and had the same issues, it was great during the day and incredibly slow with loads of timeouts in the eve. It reminds me of when unmetered ISPs first came out and couldn't cope with the amount of bandwidth being used, I'm pretty sure this is a similar capacity problem in some areas.
I've been in touch with t-mobile and they are escalating it to 3rd line support so will wait and see what happens. As it's at home I can use wifi and it's not the end of the world but it some respects I wish I hadn't upgraded and switched networks instead, my gf's on O2 with the phone that is not to be named and doesn't have this problem at all.

Yes, by updating the Radio version this can improve things like battery life, network reception, Wi-Fi, and GPS signal strength, but this also depends on your region - it will either work better for you or could be worse. It may be worthwhile changing to Radio 4.06.00.02 for a few days and try to establish whether or not it improves your situation. If it doesn't, then just revert back to the stock Radio version.
I had a very similar problem on my Touch Diamond 2. It turned out to be a faulty aerial and had to go back to HTC for repair. Worked ok for a while after that, then it started again. An update to their latest ROM then solved it. So a hardware issue and a seperate software issue both produced the same fault for me.

Vodafone Sure Signal

I have a Vodafone Sure Signal femtocell device, which connects to my broadband and provides a localised 3G signal in my house, as network reception here is poor.
I have 2 other phones connected to the SS just fine, but the One X is intermittently losing the connection and needs a reboot to re-connect. There have been some other posts on the Vodafone UK forums from folks with a One X, not many but enough to make me wonder if there's a more common problem.
Does anyone else here have a Sure Signal, and if so, are you having any problems with it?
I don't personally have it but my friend does and he is getting drops constantly he is not best pleased as he had yellow spot issue aswell aha i think he's going to thro the OX off the wall shortly. He has phoned regarding this and got nowhere
Thanks for the reply. VF have contacted me after I posted on their eforums, I've raised a ticket and they're investigating. I'll report back if anything improves.
VF UK are really pushing the One X, so if there is a problem, I imagine they'll want to get it fixed.
do the vodafone handsets have vodafone firmware? i have a factory unlocked non branded unit I'm using on vodafone with SS and hab=ve had zero problems!
Thanks for the reply. I got mine from dialaphone and it's pure stock WWE. It's working now, but still a little flakey. If it loses connection to the SS, I turn airplane mode off and on again and it works again (quicker than a reboot).
Most of the One X users with problems on the VF forum have their old number on a new sim card, which apparently can cause the Sure Signal to bug out a bit until the new sim is registered. Mine is a brand new number though. It's lasting a day or so before I have any issues.
The SS has always been a little on the flakey side, though, I need to reset it every so often - but that's been weeks or months apart rather than days.
I have one of the older models with 4 lights, not sure if that makes a difference.
Half wondering if it's the phone not the SS, but will see how it goes for the next few days.
I have had very poor suresignal performance...and have swapped out one phone already after speaking to HTC.
But have found that by turning off WIFI, it seems to be a lot happier, and the replacement phone acts just the same as the first (sim free from CPW)
But without WIFI, all data comes out of your data plan, and not from your broadband even thought the SS uses the broadband connection.
I never got to the bottom of my sure signal problems with this phone until I installed cyanogenmod.
However I recently installed sense 5 and my phone would again not connect to my sure signal. I have gone back to cyanogenmod and the problem still exisits.
Can someone who uses a sure signal please tell me which radio you are using by going to settings, about phone, baseband version
Many thanks

calls are disconnected after few minutes

hi all,
stock 551ML no root, the calls running on SIM1 (4G) gets disconnected after 5/10 minutes. i suddenly see the radio bars disappearing, i can't hear anymore the called party, and then the call drops. Tried with 2 different carriers on SIM1. The phone is always enabled with 2 SIM's, but on the second one (whatever the carrier is) there's no such problem. I think this phone has large issues when dealing with 2G/3G/4G swap, signal quality on SIM1 is terrible (tested in comparison with wife's iphone6+ with same carrier same location) and often i lose signal on SIM1. Definitely not a work phone in this way. any idea? can a full reset improve the situation?
Please ensure firmware is updated to latest version. Next please try performing a hardware reset including cache wipe partition. http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/
If the problem continues then it may be a hardware issue with the SIM slot and will require RMA service.
Sincerely
ASUS_USA
[email protected]
after few weeks i can say more about this issue, on SIM1 the 4G slot. (stock phone updated and wiped completely)
1) carrier signal reception has now slightly improved with .59 and .63 update
2) problems on switching from 4G to 3G still there, when 4G signal is poor the phone is not able to detect it, and tries and tries and tries sending data to nowhere. after a minute or so, switch to 3G happens and i got network connectivity again
3) comparison with iphone6+, samsungS5 and sonyZ3 (same network, same location) is still terrible, while i got no network, iphone does and loads the pages, slowly but it loads the full page. i think here is the price difference between the two -> antenna, radio, optimized software for any signal condition
4) under bad (bad from a 551ML point of view) signal conditions the battery drains a lot more faster, and that's fine but at least i would like to use the phone, to receive calls, messages, whatsapp and so on.
5) during a call on SIM1, it still happens that signal disappear and i the call is dropped, less frequently than i had before .59 update, but still happens.
6) i'm calling using SIM2 BTW, SIM2 on 2G has no issues.
i will be soon able to compare with honor7 (it should have a very good optimization on the radio part) and let you know.
bye
I am on AT&T in the US and having a similar problem and hoping someone can help except for me it is SIM 2 that is the problem and for me it is at home. Last night I was on a call that kept dropping, and it was not a good thing at all and I had to end the call. I pretty much cannot sustain SIM 2 calls in my house but SIM 2 elsewhere is okay; calls on SIM 1 are perfectly fine and with my previous phones (Note 3, iPhone, Windows Lumia 1520) no reception problem history ever at all. So this clearly is a device issue and not an AT&T issue as I get good coverage in my house. I had two phones up until a month ago when I opted to consolidate by getting the ZF2.SIM1 is perfectly fine most of the time-I've never dropped a call although a couple times I have to say I've not heard as well for a moment as I could, so I question if my house and the Zenfone2 are a good match, although that is really a weird thing as I live in a major suburban metro area that is not a coverage problem in any way shape or form with any dead spot problems, so I am wondering if something is wrong with my hardware and I need to exchange my phone. I'm going to have to pop my SIM 1 back into my Note 3 in the interim and forward calls on my second line in the interim in the meantime if that's the case . (my windows phone takes a nano SIM) and send my ZF2 back for an exchange Should I do a hard reset? Why would my house be a problem? It's not a dead spot area or remote or anything like that. I really like this phone already got a new SIM 2 card once before when I had problems at first but it seemed to be better until I then tried to make a c all yesterday and it wouldn't work.Could my phone be defective? Hard reset?? My software is up to date.

After latest updates and various test i can say that signal coverage and battery life has been improved so much. Thanks a lot asus, it's a pleasure to work with this phone now. Keep doing the same good job!

Glad to hear things worked out for you. My situation didn't work out. I just returned the Zenfone yesterday. I had gotten the replacement phone through ASUS, still replaced yet another SIM card, and the problem with my SIM 2 persisted and got even worse. For me, the SIM slot being 2G did turn out to be the destructive feature of the device. My area is too upgraded for it apparently. You're the only other person I've come across that has referenced SIM 2 usage to me, so I get the sense that most people are just using the ZF2 as a single SIM and don't have a second phone line or data line. Therefore I can understand people being happy overall as it's a decent device for a single SIM user. You are lucky that your SIM 2 coverage is good everywhere. Mine was good in some areas but certainly not in and around my house and there my SIM 2 was unable to sustain phone calls. I didn't care about data-I only wanted phone calls but I couldn't do calls even.I had no cellular connection and my SIM 2 would X out and drop off all the time.
I never had a problem with SIM 1. I always got calls just fine and I found that ASUS always provided updates and I noticed changes in battery life. I was pleased in every other regard but the very purpose that I bought the phone for -to be able to get calls to both my phone lines. I do think ASUS dropped the ball with the 2G slot and need to make their next model with both slots supporting LTE. They me might get me back as a customer if they do.

It looks like I am not the only one who has the sim 2 signal issue. My phone has this issue from day one, the signal of sim 2 just comes and goes all the time. Software update doesn't help at all. I've also tried putting a new sim card, but still have the same problem. I think this is a hardware issue.

N920I - Weak 4G. Can no longer make or recieve calls. Possibly a local 3G tower was turned off.

My Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920I purchased December of 2015 can no longer make or receieve calls. My provider is TracFone via the Bring Your Own Phone program. I use their SIM card and it has worked all this time. Until recently the phones features have stopped working. I think they have been disabling the 3G in my area, as everyone is converting to 4G now.
Note 5 is supposed to support 4G but it's definitely been having issues. Text and internet still works. however texts are sometimes delayed on occasion, not always, usually it's fine. Data speed just now was tested at 10 mbps down, 3 mbps up. Signal bars are consistently low, regardless of physical location; inside, outside, other side of town, SIM status shows signal always between -108dBm and -118dBm. This is likely why I cannot make or receive calls, but the question is, why is this happening?
Like I said, I suspect they are shutting down 3G in this area, so the best theory I've been able to come up with is this: perhaps 4G has always sucked on this phone but I never noticed because it would fall back to the good 3G connection. Now that 3G is gone in this area, all I have to use is 4G which is a shoddy connection.
Further research has found in the early days of this phone there were numerous reports of weak/no signal. See these threads:
Fed Up With Terrible Reception
Hey all, I'm kind of venting here and at the same time hoping for some sort of direction because I'm absolutely fed up with my S6. I upgraded roughly a month and a half ago from an S4. My phone usage was below normal for the first week or two as I was busy with a variety of projects. As my...

No signal/network on my note 5
Hi everyone, so I just got this note 5 N920P last two weeks but I noticed its OS was lollipop...waited for updates for 7.0 but nothing so I went ahead and downloaded Odin with latest firmware from samobile and did it my self, now here the problems start to show first of all this hands free...
forums.androidcentral.com
One theory was that the 4G antenna they used in the Note 5 / S6 was of poor design. Causing weak signal.
Things I have tried and did not work:
-Contacted TracFone. They confirmed the device is supported and provisioned correctly. They recommended a new SIM card.
-Replaced the SIM card with a brand new one
-Factory reset the device. It's running the stock Android 7.0 Nougat which was the last up to date version available.
-Tinkered with various service menus including *#2263# and *#0011#. Messing about with the LTE band settings didn't change the signal strength ever. Regardless of the LTE band, it stays in that -108 to -118 range, too weak for calling.
What can be done to fix this? Possible ideas:
-Internal antenna replacement, but this seems either expensive to have someone do, or extremely difficult to do oneself. Would it even make a difference? Has anyone tried this?
-Software. Could the issue have been introduced during one of the software updates? Planned obsolescence perhaps? Could we revert to an earlier firmware to potentially resolve this? has anyone tried this?
-Firmware. Could we upgrade the firmware to a later, unsupported version safely? Perhaps the issue was fixd in later Android versions but has not been adressed in older devices that are no longer updated.
I'm the kind of person who likes to use my things until they absolutely die. This Note 5 has been perfectly fine until recently. There is nothing wrong with it. It's still modern, fast, and has a great camera. I would HATE to have to replace a phone for such a stupid reason. Not only is money tight, but it's such a waste when this thing is still perfect apart from this weak 4G signal.
Has anyone else had this issue? Have you resolved it? Any help appreciated. Thank you.
Try a network reset.
Clear sim toolkit data.
Clear system cache.
The access point profile may need updating or maybe the sim?

Question Pixel 6 Pro network keeps dropping randomly

Hi,
I never had any issue with the Pixel 6 Pro so far unlike other users but it all started few months ago when I noticed that the network kept dropping randomly, sometimes I used to get "no service" in an area where I used to get 4G at full speed. I did wait for the July update to solve the issue but it never did. Right now I am on the August update that has been released recently but I see no difference. I cannot do a smooth phone call on my data as the network keeps dropping continually. Sometimes I am on 4G, the second later I am on H. I did think that maybe it was the network I was on, Vodafone at that time, so I switched to EE, here in the UK it is considered to be the best one. Still I am facing the same issue, then I can assume it is the phone. I have tried to follow every guide I have found on the web, but nothing seems to work for me. It is annoying that when you need to get something on the phone I need to wait for the phone to go randomly back on 4G hoping that I will stay on it until I get what I need. I have attached the video that I have recorded where I am in the town centre, where I can easily get 5G but the phone keeps dropping the network.
I use ESIM as well, and I have the same issue with it.
Has anyone had the same issue? How can I solve it? Has anyone tried Android 13 Beta? Does it solve some bugs that we have right now on Android 12?
I am really annoyed because of this issue I am facing right now, I love this phone but I am seriously thinking to sell it due to this bug.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Of all the stuff people complain about, this is the only problem I have. The signal on this phone is an absolute disgrace. I lose signal where I used to get it on my Droid X back in the day. Not sure how they screwed it up that bad, but they did LOL
Turn off the 4G on the second SIM card. I had the same issue.

In denmark, mine also randomly get the no service and no sim, but it is the imr registration ther fails and i beeing kicked off the celluar network. that is thanks to googles phone are not sold in your country, so you got the finger by google...
I will work with jailbreak and so on, but many apps will stop working,.
For now my pixel 6 pro, are living a sad life in its box, replaced by a oneplus 10 pro, without any of theese issues..
it is a bit sad, the pixel 6 pro is at god phone, but google giving pepole the finger, if you buy the phone somwhere google are not selling it, i dont get it.. it is basic stuff expecting to work, the culluar no mattewr where you buy it.
I have a P6Pro, also on EE in the UK.
I had spotty network performance in the early days, but after jumping to the 13 beta it's worked flawlessly.
Unsure if this is because of A13 or due to EE "doing work in my area" as they're often prone to doing.
I'd speak to EE first, then perhaps speak to Google via the support button in settings - they offered to swap my handset out for me (I didn't swap it out in the end).

When I was on Vodafone I had the same text from them, still after their ' solved ' the network issues, nothing really changed for me. My friend who is on EE in the area as me does not face any problem. I hope that A13 solves the issue. It is not normal that a 800£ phone struggles with the network this much

Yeah I have the same issue as you are reporting, three drops in city on the train on the way to work. Just get the exclamation mark, does not seem to self recover, I go into the SIM and disable it, then enable it again, and it instantly jumps to full 5G signal. I do note that it is more reliable for me when I turn off 5G completely, and just use 4G, then it drops back to 3G but doesn't completely stop.
I think majority of connectivity on this device is crap. WIFI is hit and miss. Bluetooth is atrocious, super slow to connect to some older devices, was fine when the phone first came out with early firmware. Pairing devices is hit and miss and also new pairing.

I do agree with you for the connectivity, it feels like they have picked random parts for the phone just to launch it as soon as they could. The money they spent on advertisement could have been spent better on the hardware.
Do you use dual sim? As I have read, the phone struggles more with two sims

I have only had one SIM acitvated at a time at this stage, was having issues with trying to activate my Samsung smart watch activating 4G, so switched to physical sim, for easier troubleshooting with other mobile devices, maybe physical SIM is worse in this device

4G on the second sim is always off. I will try to test it turning the sim off and will let you know, thanks.

Update: the signal improve drastically on the main sim by keeping 2G or 3G on the eSIM but that generates a new problem, the eSIM drops the network on normal phone calls, it is not stable at all, if I call a number it rings after 10-15 seconds. I do not receive calls sometimes. It is just a mess.
Had the same problem, calls droppping or not being able to answer calls.
I had KPN as a physical sim and Simyo as a eSim.
I did resolve the issue, I understand this is not an actual "fix", but thought i'd mention it.
I changed providers from Simyo to Simpel, now I have Simpel as physical and KPN as eSim.
Since then no more problems also the option to turn on wifi calling showed up, so I think the p6p just wasn't playing nice with that specific provider.
I get random total drops of data and voice connection. If I hit Airplane mode on and off, it reconnects. Maybe the phone doesn't switch well between towers? I am on Google Fi.
Between the glitches and the lack of timely updates, and the abysmal battery life, I think this will be my last Pixel phone.
It barely lasts a full day with relatively light use, but if I use Maps and listen to Youtube (screen off) ad take photos in a new town, it dies within 6 hours or less. It has a great camera, but it's not useful for travel, because it dies so quickly.
I am having the same problem with my Google pixel 6 pro and it's been happening since I think the OS 11 certainly 12 and now 13. And I have AT&T service. But I can switch from my home Wi-Fi go outside of my car sit in my car for a while then all of a sudden the little! Comes up near the date of bars on my phone and use it after driving about 10 minutes or so it automatically will reconnect to the cell tower and get data. Sometimes I get well most of the time voicemails that people leave for me I don't get a notification until I reboot my phone. I actually put my phone in my right ear I can hear it loud and clear I switch it over to my left ear and it drops down by about 50% less volume I actually went and had a ear test done and they told me my hearing was perfect in both ears so I don't know what the hell it is with this phone but now I'd spent all this money going to the ear doctor thinking I was going deaf in one ear. Never had this kind of problems with my Note 4
I find in caernarfon I get good phone signal if i go to Bangor Tesco or sports direct in Bangor I get the exclamation point mark in phone signal and can't use it but signal has always been rubbish there I'm on ee
