I'm not sure if it's an issue with the firmware on my device (using firmware from MIUI 9.1 with LineageOS 14.1), but I often find that my Redmi Note 4 drops signal in low signal areas and fails to return much more often than my previous device (Uhans A6). That said, it doesn't drop calls and seems pretty good otherwise.
Same to me with LinOS 14.1 where stock Miui had a stable signal strength using SIM slot2 (nano sim). I've tried several firmwares with no difference. I'm not sure if this is really an issue or if the signal strength indicator simply has a bad resolution to look that flaky.

These issue are a cause by the error in software that handles the signal indicator. There's no real issue with your custom ROM affecting your signal strength.

Wrong. If I toggle flight mode, signal returns instantly. Otherwise I can have no signal for minutes at a time.

I have been using Lineage OS 15.1 on my Redmi Note 4 for 5 days but a major bug in it is that I cannot place call through Vodafone sim when Volte of Jio sim is on.On the other hand if I turn off the Volte option then I can call using Vodafone but not with Jio. Can anyone help with this problem???

I saw Vodafone also launched VoLTE services. Since RN4 doesn't support dual LTE, could that be the problem?

Getting slow speeds on T-Mobile. The area where I live has great 4glte coverage that my other devices pick up easily. Just got my mate 9 today and hoping the speed improves over the next couple of days so that I don't have to return this otherwise awesome phone. Anyone have similar problems or know a fix?
I'm on T-mobile and I feel like I get better much reception/performance than I did with My Note 3. But my Note 3 was an AT&T version which didn't support Band 12, so being able to take advantage of Band 12 now may be part of the improvement.
I drive through a tunnel everyday and used to lose the call 100℅ of the time on the Nexus 6P. Not on the Mate 9. Tmobile carrier.
My old phone had 2/5 bars 4G inside my house, mate 9 has 4-5/5 bars 4G+ and speed is generally very good, the network connection is very stable even when signal is low.
On AT&T. Consistently gets 4-6 dbm better on LTE than my ATT Note 5. I maintain usable LTE reception in many areas the note 5 cannot. The note 5 already outclassed many other phones in RF signal strength -- the mate 9 is a stellar performer in this regard.
EDIT: 4-8dbm better than OnePlus 3T, 4-5 better than LG G5. Also on ATT.
On T-Mobile I'm getting an average of 4-5 dbm's better than any other phone. It seems like Huawei is the new king of radios. That's one of the reasons I ended up keeping my Mate 9. I am getting service in spots (for example the pro shop in my bowling alley) where I never even had any service before.
I get very fast speeds on sim 1, I can download, stream, whatever.

it works great on Metropcs. I get full LTE in Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Every custom ROM for Redmi Note 4 SD has a bug that is making LTE signal disappear, you can verify it by opening signal info in settings.
You can see that the dBm signal stay at normal value but "asu" value is constantly spiking to "99" which causes signal indicator to show no signal for brief moment.
This happens for every ROM that is not based on MIUI.
Does anyone know what is the cause of it? We have sources released, is this a kernel issue or something else? It cannot be modem firmware since we are using same as MIUI. Can this be diagnosed/fixed ?
I remember it was the same few months ago, and still nothing has changed. I think it's the biggest issue and im wondering if anyone is trying to work on it.

I will mark this as resolved.

I tested lineage-14.1-20170810-nightly-mido-signed few days ago, bug is still here.
Does it actually lose signal or is it just a visual problem?
Might be a carrier problem, currently staying at a flat 49-50 in Singapore on Singtel.

Watch the signal for 5-10 minutes, it will drop.

With the data on? I don't have issues when data is off but when on internet, every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds i lose network and data transfer for a 10-15sec
LOS last weekly 24/08 and i have this problem. Is there a fix for it?
Bump - Any fix? What firmware?
I don't have this problem
Constant at 47.

You need to enable LTE and Data.

I don't understand your reply.
LTE and data are of course always enabled on my phone.
The only moments where I lost LTE signal is when I drive and arrive at a place where there is no LTE signal.

Yeah. It can be solves, if it's showing wrong signal level
This doesn't look like a cosmetic defect. I was on MIUI Nougat and didn't face any issues with signals. After coming to RR Nougat, I can see frequent fluctuations in network. Lesser speeds, much less consistent connectivity. I have tried changing the sim, compared with a phone running MIUI on the same sim, there is an undeniable fluctuation, with intermittent loss of data. This seems to happen only when data is enabled.

Yes, worth mentioning is that the issue is with LTE (4G) with Data enabled, i didn't noticed any signal issues or disconnections using 3G with Data enabled. Someone smarter should look into this.

Also in Italy happened some thing similar. Try to use the Sim in the second slot and let me know if you verify again disconnection.
I have same issue. On Global dev, xiaomi.eu as well. I need to try put sim card to second slot. Maybe this something help.
Despite 11 antennas around, sounds like I lost the 4G data connection and have to reboot ...
Compare to my old Redmi Note 3 SE (Kate) the Mi8 lite is very poor in 4G LTE reception ! Very bad :'(
Wifi is very bad too, in the same place my old phone is better !!!
Materiel problem or software ?

Probably hardware issue. My Huawei p10 lite was way better
Sometimes work good, sometimes bad. In randomised places and different frequencies. Hope so it's software issue. Hardware might have one person, not so many.
putting the simcard into the 2nd slot (where goes the sdcard) fixed the problem for me, atleast for now.

Perfectly fine, managed 130mbit on 4g EE in the UK. VoLTE works well. Zero issues so far.
As far as I can test, there is no 4g+... Very disappointing.
I have 4G+ running just fine on two different carriers.
Ok, so it seem to be a problem with my operator. Thank you for your reply.

Definitely worse range and mobile data speed on T-mobile Poland than in my previous Huawei P20 Pro. [emoji52]

I have really big problems with the 4G Connectivity. Nearly no connection (0.8 Mbits) inside the house next to the open window. No problems before with my OP3T
From the beginning of using the phone, I have a problem with cyclical signal loss when I try to call someone or when someone tries to call me. I get a message that my SIM card is missing.
Interestingly, it happens just like I have the LTE signal turned on. When trying to establish a connection, LTE changes to 3G and it is at this point that the signal disappears, and then returns spontaneously after about 5 -10 seconds.
If I force the use of 3G, the connections work fine.
I tried to reset to factory settings, changed the SIM card between trays 1 and 2. I reset network settings. Unfortunately, nothing helps.
The only thing I haven't done yet is to exchange the card with the operator, but I treat it as a last resort. I do not believe that this was a physical malfunction of the card, because on the previous phone there were no problems.
It annoys me so much that I feel like throwing this phone out the window...

I feel that this phone's cellular performance is worse than that of my OnePlus 7T. I live in a shallow canyon and have not the greatest reception, however with this phone I frequently get "Mobile network not available" when sitting in my living room, which I don't recall experiencing with the 7T.
My data speeds on T-Mobile 5g in Illinois are 25% what they were (25mbs vs 100mbs) on the 7t Mcclaren
For me in Lake Charles,La it has been great. The 5g dl speeds aren't that much faster than lte but the upload speed is. What's really nice coming from PixelXL3 is like when I'm in the bathroom at work before I would barely get a signal if any, and now it's almost like I'm outside & signal is good. Thankfully T-Mobile has just been improving and improving the last few years.
Slight better signal than my S9+
hi
Im using O2 with 5G sim card and data plan unlimited. (5G) also.
But i only have 2G/3G/4G
But when i put Vodafone sim card im gettin 5G 2G/3G/4G/5G
Strange
Much better especially 5G than my LG V40 ThinQ.
Hey guys, i have a question - i bought samsung s20 (exynos) and the signal strenght and data speed is worse than on my huawei mate 20 pro. So i want know how is cellular strength and speed on the one plus 8 pro? I work in a place with bad coverage but until the s20 i never had problems with the battery (usually finishing the day with 50%+ on the mate 20 pro, sometimes even 70% and now i am at 30-40% so i have to charge either at work or immediately when i am home). I am asking because i will change the samsung and it is either the one plus 8 pro or the iphone 11/12. Thanks.
Got 1+8pro - reception to make calls improved in my apartment from Note10+, 3G/4G speed is not good but I have wifi so am just happy to have calls.
I'll be testing this out shortly when mine arrives. At my home location lte connectivity is very poor generally around -104 to -114 dbm, we'll see how the OP8Pro does with little signal.
worst
my p30 pro used to work in my room (4g). 8 pro no signal. horrible
Device has amazing cellular signal sensitivity. Sitting on my old man's recliner at home i posted the dbm figures I got with Samsung and other devices. This device increased signal reception by around 11 dbm. Using Network Cell info lite for tests as I have with my previous devices. Amazing.
