Antenna signal weak in buildings - Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers

Hi, did somebody fixed issues with antenna gsm and data coverage as after OTA 20160419 (without rooting) there in my case i cannot see any improvement for availability in buildings (eg. restaurants)
Opened engineering mode but not sure what option shold be changed for increasing signal strength.
Thx for any responses!

I guess you tried a factory reset? I have better signal at university inside of buildings than with my old phone.

Sure factory reset was done after OTA 20160419
Anyway no improvement. Seems that signal coverage at buildings where is not deployed internal BTS or any signal repeater does problems.at office where such device is installed by operator, i do not have any issues.

In the building I'm in now my huawei gets full 4g strenght yet the elephone sits on 3g . the data barely works on the 3g too it's extremely poor.

I have no idea why but *#*#4636#*#* and change band to usa immediately fixed for me

Poor reception

Hi,
I recently bought a black z5c from handtec and I'm currently using it on US T-Mobile.
I think I have the apn settings set correctly but I'm only getting one bar for LTE here in LA, even outside with no buildings.
HSPA, however, has strong signal. Any recommendations?

I get very good signal with mine. Even with one bar I get good speeds (tested via speedtest).
You can just use the download internet settings under networks/more if you are worry about using the wrong apn settings.
I'm also using T-Mobile.

Reception issue or perceived reception
I am having the same issue, but on AT&T. My model is the E5823, black. I have been swapping my sim card back and forth between the z5c and my Nexus 5 and have noticed that the nexus will have full bars of LTE while the z5c will have maybe one bar. More importantly, though--the db reading from the phones are almost exactly the same and the download speeds are very similar as well. So I think this may not be a reception issue in my case, but an issue with how the z5c displays reception vs how the nexus 5 does. The nexus 5 with full bars should having blazing LTE speed. Sadly, both of these phones are giving me barely 3 mb download speeds. I think AT&T may be having an issue in my area but I can't get a customer service rep to acknowledge it.
I hope I'm right--I'm loving this phone despite the terrible (possibly perceived) reception. I have downloaded an app called real signal and it shows a more accurate reading of actual reception and it is confirming my suspicion.

This is exactly my experience. Not as many bars as my other phone, but actual signal strength is almost identical. I think it's just a difference in how they are showing bars. I think signal strength is actually good.

I'm glad to hear that. This was driving me nuts thinking I'd have to return a phone that I imported and eat a 15% restocking fee. It's also really the only small phone I had my eye on once I saw that the Nexus 5X would be just as big as the regular sized Xperia Z5.
I'm experiencing something similar. I think I have 1 less bar of 4G signal in every place compared to my previous phone. But the phone still works great and seems to not drain more battery regarding this.
But the "time without signal %" is considerably lower than before. (Still. This could be just because of the bad 2G/3G signal at home, which is terrible and is improved now).
Also. Im now getting 4G+ signal (I think it's based on CAT 6). But maybe the strength is just the same as with 4G.
One more thing:
I bought my phone in Italy but I'm using it in Spain. Could that be an issue? I dont think so...because in Europe the LTE bands are almost the same everywhere.
Also. What would happen if we disable all other LTE bands from other countries? Could that help?

107 is pretty weak but without having another phone to compare it to it's impossible to say if it's the phone's fault or if you are just somewhere with a bad signal!

Hi,
Did you try entering Service Phone info and check settings from there ?
for that dial in :
*#*#service#*#*
then service settings and select the right network mode

My phone has this option selected "LTE_GSM_WCDMA" and I think that it's the right choice.

The imei will not impact reception. GSM is purely sim based. I'm curious about this issue as well. I had exact same issue with my z3c on tmous. Lower signal readings both visually and dbm but it operated fine

I got a Z5 compact and I'm definitely getting poorer reception than my previous phone (2013 Moto X) on AT&T. Not just the display, but I find more calls going to voicemail from my apartment than before.
I think it's just the way sony is translating actual signal strength to bars displayed. On WCDMA it looks correct, but on LTE bars are always low even though reception and signal is fine.

Dropping calls

Hello my phone is dropping calls very frequently (when someone calls me the operator says I don't have network).In my phone the signal is OK with 4 bars! My phone has latest 14s from and I have installed Google play and,twrp and root.The problem seems to be gone if i change network type to 3g.Any ideas?
I have figured out that when in 4G the phone constantly loosing signal and finds it again,that is why is dropping incoming calls,also the 4G speed is low compared with other phones which are side by side
hi i too have similar problem with constant signal switching and even disconnections
any fix for this?
I have searched everywhere and didn't find any fix,someone said that he has put his sim in tray 2 and things are better.
this is what i have done so far...
-got a replacement sim, placed it in sim2
-flashed latest stock from letv
-flashed back to CUOCO v23
-installed v24, v25 updates
so far no too bad its getting better day by day guess i'll ride it out see how it goes
I believe that maybe it is a problem with the band's.Here in Greece we have LTE in 800,1900 and 2600 MHz and the phone has problem.The provider use different bands in different areas.Some areas covered with 2 bands simultaneously.The x820 has limited band support compared with x821 (India version) so I believe the phone can't switch because doesn't support all of them.
i think u may be right, it wasnt happening as much at home as i may have only locked on to one tower, but at work in the cbd its crazy, does seem like its arguing with the radio bands with it constantly switching around, hopefully they'll release a port of the indian rom for the x820 like they did with the 1s, its getting pretty annoying

i jus forced it to use 3G only n seem stable so far, i dont need 4g/lte at work anyways lol, this is what i did
-in engineering menu put it as CDMA only
-put network priority to 3G(this will not work without putting it the CDMA first)
-turn off ENHANCED 4G mode
so far full reception in 3g and no dropouts/disconnections

Hi bro, u also from singapore? i am planning to buy this phone in a day or so. Want to make sure there is no signal issue. From the specs, it has 2/3 lte bands.
im from Australia bud i had the letv 1s before and had no issues with signal only now with the max2
oh an confirmed band 3, as when it did decide to connect to 4g it was using BAND 3
Same here in Netherlands, very annoying.. Any good fix for this?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Probably some sort of software issue regarding the 3g network, because when set on 3g priority the signal switching on and off like crazy. Have anyone tried to turn of data? And we who live in the western world have a huge 2g and 3g network that we still use for calls. Not like China or India who jumped right onto the higher speeds. I mean if you buy a phone direct from one of the carriers in your country you will have a device that is optimized for that network. U will not if you import from China regardless full band spec. We have to hope for a fix for next update.

Heyyo, sorry for very late reply... have any of you tested with the latest modem firmware files flash via TWRP?
The very latest is "MODEM_446D_V.00050" which is from the developer branch, or you can try out "MODEM_CN_26S_05.09_V.00033"
Here's where you can download them from (might want to use your favorite website translator)

No "LTE" icon - Galaxy A9(pro) 6 (Marshmallow) on T-Mobile (US) network

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here so please excuse me if this is a repetition or the wrong place.
I recently picked up the Galaxy A9(pro) 6 from Asia (Bangkok) while passing through duty-free. I must say I'm happy with the phone.
However, the "LTE" icon does not show on the status bar of the Galaxy A9(pro) 6. It only shows "4G". I am on with T-Mobile network in the US and my previous phone was Galaxy S4 (also from T-mobile) and it did show the "LTE" icon below "4G" in the status bar. We do get LTE coverage here where I am (my home) as per my previous usage of the Galaxy S4.
The Network mode is set to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)
Is it that Galaxy A9(pro)6 does not show the "LTE" icon as in, it's not part of the feature?
Are my settings correct or do I need to do something to get LTE?
I don't seem to be having a problem with my data as the speed/performance is pretty good. But I'm not sure if this is just 4G or 4G LTE?
Could anyone help and explain what's going on?
Thank you,
Kevin
You can check in Settings / About Phone / Status and see if it's registering as LTE or HSPA/HSPA +. Most likely it does not have all of the frequencies available for a phone from Asia to get LTE here on T-Mobile. Most of them do not.

Thank you es0tericcha0s! I've been researching, do you think there's a way to enable/unlock those radio bands that might pick-up LTE? Lot's of people are doing it on other phone like LG etc.....thanks!

Hi es0tericcha0s,
The status option > SIM card status shows the following:
Network: T-Mobile
Singal Strength: -76 dBm 63 asu
Mobile network type: LTE
Service state: in service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: connected
My phone number: 1- etc etc
Would you know what this means?
Thanks,
Kevin
That's good news. It means that your phone gets LTE. The 4g is just a graphical thing. In many countries the LTE just shows as 4g. This is determined by the system UI. If you are rooted and have a custom recovery then you might be able to change it using Xposed and a module add on.
It's probably not worth the trouble though as long as you know that 4g means LTE. When it's actually on 3g/4g (non LTE) then it'll most likely display as H / H+ for HSPA / HSPA+.
---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
As far as enabling more LTE bands... It's possible on some phones. I haven't found any definitive details on it for your phone. You might see if you can open the service mode first by "dialing" *#0011#
If you can there might be a way...

Hi es0tericcha0s,
Sorry about the late reply, life got the best of me.
I tried the code you gave but it gives the message "invalid MMI code". I guess it's fine as long as it's LTE where ever available.
Hope all's well with you and thanks!

If you are rooted, then there are a couple of apps that will be able to bring up those menus and/or find the specific codes to access the needed menus... Since we don't have the A9 here, I am not familiar with the little differences in the firmware like that.

call quality issues cm13

for a while now whenever i make or receive a phone call the reception is terrible.
i noticed a H or a H+ where the signal strengh is supposed to be.

H or H+ is your data network displaying that you are using HSPA technology for internet on your phone.
Don't know about the signal strength...

You don't need to worry about the icon my friend .
There were different bandwidths even in 3g networks. When u see H+ icon , it was sure that u are getting better speed over Normal 3g network("H" in your case) .

i put the launcher because i have no idea what the issue is/was. all i know is that i get good internet {lte} full bars
and then in the same location when i receive or make a call it drops to one or two bars and the call comes out barely audible,
especially when im in my vehicle and i start to drive

So what I understood is , signal drops to minimum when you got a call and comes to normal when you disconnect the call .
If I am right , just do one thing ..
Take a logcat before making a call and after attempting the call save it and send me or baDeamon in PM .
Sent from my KIW-L22 using Tapatalk
No need for a logcat .
the issue is that he had a 4g LTE and while getting a call network will switch to 3g or 2g and normally it will drop cause each basband have different strength !..
its normal and If u have bad reception means the 2g or 3g network is not good that area !..

This is true . but I thought to confirm this by seeing his logs . coz we can't judge something directly without proper investigation
Correct , I believe he need to read about using logcat first ! am assuming he have no idea about that already !.

Well we learn everyday.

Let's Finally Solve This Call Quality Issue

Many of you have seen the multiple threads on multiple forums about the call quality issues with the Pixel 3 and 3XL, so I won't dig into that any further. Instead, I am asking if those who have issues can list the signal strength as reported by your device in the area where the call issues occur?
For example, my wife and I only had call issues at our house, where both of our devices registered -115 dBm of signal strength. This was not a problem for our Pixel 2's. When calling from my job, the issue was far less frequent and the signal strength is approximately -100 dBm. Finally, we received a signal booster from our carrier for the house and the call issues went away completely, measuring -80 dBm.
Based on this, I can only assume the Pixel 3's hardware is not holding on to signals as well as other phones and I need your help determining if the problems go away above a certain signal strength threshold.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Open the stock phone dialer app
2. Enter the test menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
3. Select "Phone Information"
4. Find the "Signal Strength" line and report the value you see.
Once again, please only list yours from an area where you experience consistent call quality issues.

Yes, we know not everyone has the issue. I'm asking that only people who do have the issue to report their signal strength in the area where the issue occurs most frequently. No need to report if you don't have issues at that won't help us find a pattern.
I don't make or receive a huge amount of calls. But have had several reports of poor quality, maybe half the time, in my dining room..
From this location currently it reports the following.
-107 dBm 33asu..
I will test this again directly after a next poor quality call for comparison. Currently on the hunt for a new job, thus expecting a greater volume of calls going forward so would be great to get to the bottom of this.
For reference I use a case, but have not tried any of the other suggestions mentioned elsewhere on xda

Just seems to me that it would be good to know at what threshold there isn't a problem. If you're collecting data it's better to get more than less. It's hard to go back if down the road your theory changes based on the data you're seeing. Believe me, I've been down that road before.

Yeah, i see what you're saying, but if you're not having any issues ever, then your device only skews the data. But if your device works properly at x dbm but doesn't at y dbm, then that would be great to know!

Interesting. I'm on Bell and turned off VoLTE (Enhanced LTE services) and I think that static, background interference is gone. I already RMA'd my Pixel 3 for this issue and the second one I got (brand new in box) is exactly the same.
I've never dropped a call. This is my only issue.

Interesting. I'm on Bell and turned off VoLTE (Enhanced LTE services) and I think that static, background interference is gone. I already RMA'd my Pixel 3 for this issue and the second one I got (brand new in box) is exactly the same.
I've never dropped a call. This is my only issue.

Did it come back yet? I tried disabling that on mine and the quality improved a bit but I could still notice the static. 3G was the only solid workaround I found.
Wife's phone has had this problem on 3 devices now. Pixel 3 AT&T based in NY.
-92 dBm 48 asu

Seems to be fine now yes. Switching that off does force calls to use 3G. You can see it, the LTE will drop to 3G when call is made.
It's a dumb issue but the fact that this works it's probably software related or maybe something with VoLTE and our carriers.

Have you tried turning off Enhanced 4G LTE mode? Fixed it for me. Wondering if it does for your wife. If that's the case the issue might be software related.

I haven't tried that because I've been reading on the product forums and people that have tried that reported the problem coming back.
I can't think of a scenario where this ISN'T software related. I've had the issue on 3 phones now and my wife says it only is affected during speakerphone and not regular phone to ear calling.

Awesome. I was fighting with multiple issues at once. I had a bad cable transfer and disabled "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" and noticed an improvement but had a magnitude of other issues. When I did a factory reset and manually transfered with no cable I just disabled 4g. Looks like I should of just disablied "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" again FTW. Thanks, that's by far the best workaround.

Cool yeah you helped me realize it only happens on VoLTE. I've contacted Google to open a ticket about this. I'll update here if anything happens. I want them to capture logs.
