Hey there people.
Hoping I've not missed an existing thread.
I'm having problems with X10 dropping its signal seemingly through its own free will. Had phone since mid april and not had any problems with. But the other week me and the missus noticed occasionally i wasn't receiving texts she had sent me. This happened every now and again for a few days. I then noticed when i picked up phone it'd show signal on 3G as maybe 2 or 3 bars then suddenly drop too nothing, showing the little x indicating no signal. After a few seconds up to a min it'd pick signal back up and work again. I no for a fact its not me been in an area without 3G coverage because it happens at work and until this started happening i got a strong 3G signal there. It doesn't seem too switch too edge either any more. Its set too GSM/WCDMA prefered. I'm on 02.
Anyone else have similar problems or any clues on what the problem it.
Cheers
I flashed the radio from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Hero_(GSM)#Flashing_Radio
It flashed fine, and on my phone it shows 2 bars HSDPA (I was getting 1 bar before)...when it's next to me. If I pick the phone up, after a few seconds it drops to 0 bars
If I put it back down (no further than 30cm from me), it gets 2 bars again!
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Edit: Okay, if I hold my phone with an L shape (left hand, index finger on to top left corner, thumb on the bottom) it has 2 bars, if I then place my hand behind the phone (not touching it) it drops to 0 bars again. Surely this isn't right?
My reception isnt much improved either... but signal at my house is normally zero anyway.
Paramount to that... the phone booted and now says its the 12th November 1980. Any1 else have this problem?
EDIT: im having the same problem as u looie... on the table i get a reception value of "-109" and as soon as i pick it up, it drops to zero!!!
I just tested it as well, and same here. Drops from two bars to zero when holding the hand behind it. Never did test that on another radio though.

Just tried something
While it was next to me, I ran Speedtest, and got 1.5mbps down, 800kbps up
I picked it up, ran Speedtest again... 380kbps down, 180kbps up
Put it back down, ran Speedtest again... 1.4mbps down, 500kbps up
I'm also having the same problem, the signal bars are continuously decreasing and increasing in strength at the slightest movement.
I'm thinking of going to an older radio.
hm...same here...but only with cyanogenmod and -forks. sense roms seem more stable with radio for me. even the switch from 2g to 3g and backwards does not force a signal loose und sense roms...hmmm...
Just asking. What would happen to a phone working under very weak (most of the time, one bar to none) mobile signal strength. Where I stay has exceptionally weak signal strength. I noticed that one of my i9505 shuts itself down intermittently at home. Doesnt happen elseswhere. My other i9505 has a dying wifi. I have just moved to this new home. Never had such problems before this.
What are your thoughts?
You'd probably see higher than 'normal' (that's relative tho, obviously) battery drain. I certainly notice this when I use my phone at home (weak signal mostly) Vs when I'm out & about (much better signal). Never known of this sort of thing to cause shutdowns though, unless there's some kind of firmware or hardware issue which gets triggered by weak mobile signal (again, never heard of such a thing) ?
At home, we have a Cel-Fi signal booster since T-Mobile reception isn't very good indoors. With the signal booster, there is full reception pretty much everywhere in the house. However, for some reason, my Nexus 4 running stock 4.4.2 keeps cutting out to no signal as shown in the picture (the phone is in the same spot in the house for the entire duration shown). This behavior happens with the 97, 98, and 33/98 radios. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Everyone else in the home has no problems with the booster and I've even swapped out my SIM card but that hasn't fixed the issue. Thanks
Hi all,
I recently bought this phone, and I'm very satisfied.
However I found a "problem".
The strength of my network signal is very unstable.
Without moving the smarthpone too much, It varies a lot.
Here there is an example, i didn't move the phone and I didn't change the way I handle it (or at least not too much): Unfurtnately I can't post outside links...
I started monitoring the signal, and it was very high. Then it started to go down.
When it was near the zero, where is the green arrow, I made a phone call: the signal went up again.
So, seems, that while the antenna is in idle the signal is very unstable. But when I make a phone call, the signal strenght goes up.
What scares me is that the signal strength varies too much while not on call. Just see the spike before the arrow...
Someone has experienced this too?
Is this normal?
Thank you very much
In the US I was using a Note 2 for a couple of years on the Verizon CDMA network. I must say the Note 2 on that network has been pretty reliable and I live in a rural mountainous area. I got my Zuk and I could not use Verizon plan with it, so I got a pay as you go plan with At&T GSM to demo it, because I really wanted a dual sim phone. The service is not as good, I work at many locations where I have to go in basements, and even in the city areas where I have full 4 bar service, I cant keep signal with the Zuk, but with the Note 2 it is no problem. In my home basement I can keep service somewhat, but sometimes I even will miss calls. I wish I had a spare AT&T phone that is sold in the states to compare it with for service.
So sadly I think my trial with my beloved Zuk is coming to an end and it is going to end up on Swappa before long.
I got your point: maybe the ZUk Z1 doesn't have the best reception ever.
However, apart this, I'm experiencing a very strange behavior.
Almost motionless, the strength of the signal varies too much.
But, maybe even more strange are these snapshot: the green arrows indicates when i started a phone call. (here too, the phone almost motionless)

In particular, here can be seen the spike that worries me so much: h ttp://i.imgur.com/KZRPndR.jpg
Possible that i'm the only one experiencing this problem?
Of course, where the signal is stronger I don't have these problems.
So, I think there is a bug in the managing of the antenna
Sorry for the broken links, otherwise I didn't can post them.

Let me look and see? I can see the bars in the notification area are not for real.
How did you bring up the advance strength meter, I would like to give that a try?
It's an application that I downloaded from the store.
In italian It is called "Info Segnale Rete"

Me too Bro.. Recently bought this phone and now I am having very poor network reception for Airtel telecom operator in India. Places where i used to have good network coverage with my previous phone aren't any longer a good reception area when using Zuk Z1.. When checked in GSMArena, i saw that zuk doesn't have that much bands supported for 4g/LTE. However, that shouldn't mess up with the 3G/2G signal receptions, right.? Any idea that updating to /CM 13 will help.?? Or any other option to upgrade the radio firmware so that network reception will be better.? Pls lemme know if anyone has some clue on this.. Thanks in advance..
