I just received the Xperia X (usa version). When I go into a specific building that has bad reception my Xperia Z5 always was able to work fine and get internet. The Xperia X won't receive calls and the internet just hangs. Does the X Performance have a better signal strength and antenna or is this just an anomaly of the Xperia X?

My Xperia x performance has the same as z3...don't know how that is compared to the z5 though but have not had any problems

X has cat6. Perofrmance has cat9.
However that's a speed connectivity comparison & not necessarily a connection advancement, I maybe wrong.

I've XP and z3c,XP has significant worse signal strength than z3c, I'm using z3c again and will not go back to XP. It's really first time I'm too disappointed with Sony. Probably my last ever
I just made a test today, in network settings i set in favorit network wcdma instead of LTE and it work better, less gsm lost. This test make me mind it's a software issue... I hope !

I'm having the same issue with the LTE reception on my x performance.
Most of the time i get no bars at all. And mobile data is a lot slower than my galaxy s5 before.
Is this issue confirmed or solved by the last firmwares?
Thanks
No good - T-Mobile & AT&T
Comment with newest firmware as of 27 September 2016
----------------------
I am pretty disappointed by the performance of this Sony X "Performance" regarding signal strength.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 next to it at a window and the X Performance gets a regular 60% slower performance than the S6 next to it that was released a year before.
I have tried it with both T-Mobile and AT&T in the same location.
I believe it to be a software issue at this point. Why do Sony phones these days have these terrible game ending problems?

Mm well so 3 years ago I went to Verizon from sprint cause a phone that I wanted and data speeds and service in Las Vegas (north) sucked for.Sprint back then And I went back to sprint because their.service got cheaper and I.wanted the.hero (evo Wasn't announce yet) so anyway my friend got a Droid x and his girlfriend a Droid Inc and I got an iPhone 4( I hated at&t and don't worry I'm not leaving android ) I been running some speed test in android Evo (sprint) and iPhone (Verizon ) and the speed in sprint looks faster by almost a 1 mb almost every test but I ran the speed test on the Inc and Droid x and speeds are practicly the same on those phones then the evo, do you guys know why iPhone speeds are slower? Maybe the app was make in a different way for iPhone (the data package is bigger? ) because speed test on the browser are almost the same on iPhone and evo
Weird?

Use an ad blocker your speed might slightly improve

adblockers make your internet slower, not once a connection is made, but while trying to make the connection. Every time your phone tries to access a website it has to parse that huge hosts file. Even on desktop PCs this will cause slow downs.
So I still don't know what's making the speed test slower in iPhone 4 but in wifi iPhone 4 has better speeds in the same wifi network, maybe the app wasn't make the same

Hi, I've heard some G2 users complaining about poor FM radio reception compared with their old smartphones.
What do you think about?
It will be interesting if someone do the comparison with two phones tuned to same station and Spirit FM running on them and post his signal (dBm)

Heard where? Not seen anything about it... source would be useful for balance. Please provide link(s).
There is no RSSI/dBm display on the Stock FM Radio app... so Spirit is the only method of approximately gauging RF signal strength. And the Spirit RSSI figure varies between phones IIRC.
On what phone and firmware? On the d802, 10A/B's FM radio performance was abysmal but 10E, 10F and 20B/C are very good. I use FM OTA radio EVERY day, and the RF and audio quality are vital for me. The G2 (on later firmware) is excellent.
Spirit on AOSP/CM is not great due to using an old open-source Broadcom driver, but is ok on Stock as it uses the Broadcom OEM driver.
For info, the older HTC Desire earphones are the best for reception.
In best to worst order, my recent experience of FM radio quality is:
Sony Z, Sony ZL, (Qualcomm FM chip), LG G2, (Broadcom FM chip), GS3, GS2 (Silabs FM chip).
Worst are HTC ONE, ONE S - by a long chalk.

Had HTC one X before. Would say FM signal is not worse. At work still need to be next to the window . Maybe even little better. But where are the ppl complaining? Also make a poll

I have to admit, after ordering my Nexus 5x i was a little worried thinking the lack of Band 12 til T-Mobile/Google gets it sorted out was going to give me crap signal. Boy was I wrong! [emoji1] Obviously this is all relative to location, but I couldn't be happier with these results and willing to wait for official Band 12 support.

While I don't see speeds that high, I do agree on being pleasantly surprised with the 5X speeds on T-Mobile. I get considerable higher speeds than I did on my Moto X 2014, and LTE signal in a couple places the Moto would drop to edge. Considering Moto has a reputation for having some of the best radios, I was happy to see a noticeable signal increase with the 5X.
T-Mo user here as well. I have to say this is the strongest radio I have had in a phone yet. I even get a signal in my basement without band 12. Well done LG.
I´ve seem similar results on att. Much faster than any previous phone i've had.
It's also nice how the phone can take voice calls over LTE without falling back to H or H+. Can browse the web wile on hold

Has speedtest app been updated in the last 2-3 years?

H0tep, it was just updated last week.
I'm getting similar speeds on Sprint when I'm at work. At home though, i get about 1/3 that.

Well, my Verizon only gets 68.47M download speed. so sad
Since I moved my SIM from my Moto X Pure Edition to the 5x I've only been able to get a connection of 5mb down and .50mb up. Not sure what it could be
I had never been concerned with data speeds on the Moto G, it always just worked and I never had speed issues so I didn't worry about it for the most part. But after doing some testing I'm pretty impressed with the throughput on this device.
Please post your carrier, geographic area, and signal type, strength, and band (use LTE Discovery or SignalCheck Lite)

I"ll have to do a screenshot later but I know I don't approach your best speed. The best I"ve seen is about 45Mbps down and 8 to 10 up. I have AT&T in Greenville, SC and I get my best speeds testing to a Comcast server in Atlanta, GA about 110 miles away. My pings run 89-90 ms. Of course there's so many people here with cell phones and it's just you and that other person in ND isn't it. JK

Hi Ladies and Gents,
So as you all have been wandering around Android flagships this year waiting for Google's 2nd innovative google pixel 2/xl.
Speedtest is a normal thing to do to determine how good modems are inside such phones. As well as to test how good their carrier aggregation is.
I have went through Huawei's Mate 10, to OP5 to S8 to Note 8. All of which were impressive. The last test was around 188mbps in my carrier Etisalat/Abu Dhabi using Note 8 N9500 (hong kong version on October 5th update).
So I was testing my new Pixel 2 XL which is the US version on speedtests multiple times and I have been getting an average of 68mbps using (October 5th update also).
I would love to get user's feedback on their speedtests. Please share your experience and tips in order to maximize the network speed performance.
So how is this measurable on a radio level from one carrier/country to another ?
Just today I got 144 down and 40 up. Verizon LTE. Fastest I've ever had.
This was the best result I've seen - Telus network in Calgary, Canada

I love the XL 2, it's a super solid device. Anyways, here's my top speedtest off T-Mobile with 2xCA LTE (30MHz B4 + B2, - NSG) https://i.imgur.com/ILhCvaV.jpg (147.7/24, 30 ms)
Here's my top speedtest on WiFi over 5GHz AC at my house with Spectrum 300Mbit Ultra https://i.imgur.com/5qKVK5X.jpg (344.8/22, 10 ms)
My speeds seem really low, given that I'm on the outskirts of a metropolis
T-mo Lte just got 162mbps. Highest I've got was 180mbps. And that's sitting front of my tv
