Hello, i have a problem with my data connection when I am at home, i have tried several cell phones and with none I have encountered these problems I would like to know if anyone has other problems and if it is a hardware problem or a software problem.
What kind of problem do you have?

When I am in some places, applications such as facebook, instagram, telegram do not work, but if I move an inch they start to work again. All this when I use the 4g / 4g + / 3g
I also noticed a certain slowness in the data connection, my previous mobile phone a mi 9 lite is much better performing. I hope it is just a youth problem and that with a modem update it is solved.

I hope it is a problem that can be solved with an update, because in some places at home it is as if I deactivated the data network
Can you people post speedtests or something?
Signal is maxed out where I live and speed is also fine 50mbps down and up
Me too, Im experiencing slow data connections even when outside. Tried to test the speed using ookla speed test and it shows less than 1mbps download compared to my oppo A37f LTE which shows 10mbps.
same me. Facebook , Instagram ,chrome not load page but my speed internet 89Mbps Dev. please fix firmware
I have the same issue. Mobile data slowing down very often or stuck and do not loading anything. Turning on and turning off flying mode solve problem for a while.
Well I was camping, and there's almost no signal so data keeps changing from 4g+ to 3g+ to E, etc... THIS IS NORMAL
BUT
When it's on 3G+ there's no connection what so ever, I get 1-2 bars of signal and I'm always not connected to the internet, this isn't a problem with xiaomi: redmi 8, note4, a1 and other brands either

Isn't? I have full signal and high speed and after second my signal drops to 2-3 bars. Then internet doesnt work at all but when I test connection with smartphone diagnostic, it says that connection works fine. When I test connection speed, there is like 1-20 Mb/s loading and almost 0 Mb/s uploading. When I turn airplane mode on and off, then connection works again with high speed and no problems for a while. With Galaxy S7 edge and ROG 2, there is no problem at all, even when I have 1 bar of signal. It looks like POCO X3 losing uploading randomly so you cant send request to open anything.
6-12 download. In countryside no upload at all almost. Whit 3G sometimes. very bad connection when gaming on desktop. Glitchy OS too. Had to reset the phone many times. Connects to mobile data auto whit no permission granted.
I have the same problem too. the data connection is very slow compare to my extra phone. The ping/latency is too high.
4G
same problem too and when i
ping to google it unstable from
request time out
To 6000+ ms
and Regular 60-100 ms
but overall it is unusable
it reused when used 3g but not great ether
I have same problem with my poco X3 do rur internet on LTE+(4g) doesnt worki but LTE+ icon on right top corner is still visible, when i turn phone upside down IT worki again , strange issue
The antennae on the X3 are pretty bad
Try Set network preferred to Lte/umts auto on testing menu. *#*#4636#*#* default with Td-scdma,
FYI, the setting is under "Testing | Phone Information [1 | 2]".
FTR, mine was was already set to "LTE/TDSCDMA/UMTS" under stock ROM v12.0.3.0 (QJGEUXM) with no SIMs.
.
Hi,
same problem with my POCO X3. Upload is very low. With another old phone is better!
Someone has a solution? Is this a know issue?
Thanks
there are clearly a problem in upload in data in this device i made a lot of tests and it showed
1- in out door with good signal it is good
2- in indoor with good signal the download is good the upload is weak
3- in indoor with average signal the download still good but the upload is very poor
and affecting in the overall performance

Hello,
I've just followed the procedure explained in this thread LINK in order to enable the network sharing option on my Samsung Omnia 7, but now there's something a bit strange.
Also, I want to thank the author of that procedure (can't post in his thread because of the limitations of my new account).
If i tap the "Cellular network" tab in the phone settings now I see a new selection tab named "Maximum connection speed", wich I haven't got before doing the procedure:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(before the update I only had got - at this height of the tab - Roaming options and Network selection...no trace of that "Maximum connection speed")
If i tap the selection box i can choose from 2 options: E (edge) and 3G.
I don't see H (hsdpa) option and now 3G is the chosen option.
If i use my connection i see the 3G icon at the top of the screen become H, as always, but I'm confused and I don't know if the navigation speed is the same as before...
Is that normal? How can I test my speed?
By the way I made a backup, so I can restore my phone if it's needed!
3G is HSDPA (in some countries 3.5G/HSDPA+). 3G is only the network used for texting and video/calling, whereas mobile internet is connected through the form of HSDPA via 3G network. It's like 2G/EDGE and 4G/LTE.
I thought that selection would have affected the navigation speed, but not in this case.
Thank you!

I also noticed this... But I also noticed that, near the bars that represent the signal quality, there was written 3G+

Yes, it's a Samsung related thing.
They chose to use 3G+ instead of H to refer at HDSPA...meh.
By the way, using the "Advanced Configuration" homebrew I was able to change that weird icon from 3G+ to the classic H.
Ps. Magus, sei tu? XD
A few questions asked here:
Why did this option appear?
It's actually supposed to be there, but some OEMs or mobile operators hide it by default. Many homebrew tweaks un-hide it (it's just a single registry value).
What does it do?
It lets you force the phone to use 2G (including EDGE) instead of 3G (including HSPDA). There are two reasons you might do this: to save battery (3G is a battery hog, relatively speaking) or because you have a very marginal 3G signal but a strong 2G one and therefore actually get a better connection if you force the phone to use 2G.
How can I test my speed?
There are a number of ways. The marketplace has several apps for bandwidth testing (though some provide wildly inaccurate results). You can also tether your laptop to the phone (using either the USB cable and a small tweak, or using the built-in Internet Sharing feature over WiFi) and then use a standard bandwidth test site like http://speedtest.net (which uses Flash and is therefore not usable in the phone's browser).
Hope that helps!
Has anyone issues with WiFi Roaming?
I have 3 APs in my house (actually there are 4, but the 4th is in the basement and is completely far away of the other 3). Two are TPLink WR1043ND and the other is an Apple TimeCapsule. The three of them are configured with the same SSID and WPA2 password. The channels are 3-8-13, so there is no overlapping between them (I didn't start on 1 because there is a strong WiFi signal from a neighbor in that channel). Also the TimeCapsule has 5GHz band with the same name and password on channel 48.
I think everything is correct, and so does my iPad think as it correctly roam between the different APs. But nor my Nexus 5 or my wife's Nexus 4 will roam. Obviously, if I disconnect WiFi and then reconnect, it will go to the strongest signal AP (either 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz).
Am I the only one with WiFi roaming issues?
Give each router (and each band, if dual) a different SSID. If it's still not connecting properly to the strongest signal, you can try Wifi Jumper on the Play Store.

Ok, so this is what Android does not have, and this is why this is not working

I will try WiFi Jumper. I hope that it is not a battery hog like Wifi Roaming Fix (which I think is not working on 4.4.2.

I've determined that the N5 wifi works well only on the 2.4GHz band. And it's speedy.

Well, I got that idea from the numerous tests I conducted. But, if yours works, I guess there's hope.

Frankly it should work better on the 5GHz band since it's not as crowded. One thing that you might want to look at is if you have wideband turned on. It doesn't effect mine but it my not play right across all the different AP's you have. You know the 20/40 Configuration. If your not familiar with it. It's where the AP will burst from say just channel one through channel six. This allows cards to talk more without talking over each other or waiting for a spot. However different AP's do this different. Could be anything but that is where I would start. There also no real 2'3:4'5. It's channal 1-6 and 6-12. So see if channel six is available without overlapping someone else's AP.

I would change all my AP's to six, or 12 if you can since you said 1 was taken. Best yet download inSSIDer then do a proper wifi scan.

My router's (Asus RT-AC66U) channel bandwidth settings have the following options: 20, 40, 80, and 20/40/80.
Just curious why you wouldn't use 1-6-11 and use channel 11 closest to the area where you have strong signal on channel 1. Even if you aren't interfering with your other APS directly with your equipment you are still going to get interference on channel 3 from that channel 1 ap I would imagine.

This is the intended behavior of WiFi. It's more efficient to remain associated to an existing AP than to reassociate with a new AP each time one comes within range if the signal from original AP is still adequate.
You might try enabling the option to avoid poor connections but I doubt it will help provide the roaming function you are looking for.
channel 36 seems to be the only 5 Ghz that the note 2 works right on. My nexus 5 doesn't seem to care. If your using more than 1 AP then you want them all on the same channel and same ssid/password . People start having issues when they mix different gear into their wifi setup like this one. With the same gear, ssid, password things should work fine if your not running ontop of someone else. The cut off point of interference is around 60 dBm or lower. if your wifi is walking on the same channel with that much bleed over from someone else's wifi then you need to change channels. Kill the wideband and switch it back to 20. or simply go the 5Ghz route. As far as devices trying to to stay with the original AP while roaming that really only applies to different ssids which is the true meaning of roaming. Staying within your own ssid and same channel isn't really roaming even if your moving from one AP to the next inside your own wifi network layout.

Hi,
I have a problem with my mi4c and GPS module.
I compared with redmi 1S a nd Samsung S3 and both of them have better GPS signal.
I have set High accuracy mode and applications has permission to gps.
Is there some ways to detect if my mi4c has defect on gps module?
I am not able to post images so I am posting only links

Doesn't seem to be a problem, connecting to 11 out of 13 satellites is pretty good.
Well it looks like in open are it is not so much problem, but signal is more weak if you compare to another phones.
When I move to center of town it is not very hard to establish gps connection. (I am ingress player and this is important for me)
Can you tell me why Redmi 1S has stronger values even if this is older model and with MTK chipset?
I can try in a week go to town center and try to make some screenshots compared with Redmi 1S and link to google maps or can you give me some advice how to detect what is wrong.... like compare with another mi4c?
Yeah I found out that too... compared to my previous phone (Moto G 1st gen) Mi4c has a weaker GPS reception and causing longer GPS lock.
I'm on Mokee ROM now since I can't stand MIUI and GPS is worse than on MIUI. I managed to make it a bit better by using faster gps apps and gps.conf from MIUI. Also try using GPS status & toolbox app, if that doesn't help at least you got a status notification when the GPS active.
So it looks like mi4c has generally weaker GPS and it is not software or hardware defect, but "feature" from vendor?
I'm under sMIUI and first time GPS lock was very long, but ever since that, it locks in just 1-2 seconds.
Today I was on a trip with car and trying GPS fix...
I recorded video of the screen and very often GPS fix was lost or it was inaccurate.
Video: http://uloz.to/xkEFhqQo/mi4c-mp4
As you can see on the video GPS is useless, I am starting to be disapointed of this model
Route on google maps is here: https://www.google.cz/maps/dir/Zast...3e0!2m2!1d16.3631011!2d49.1879961!1m0!3e0!5i2
Is it possible that the GPS on your unit is defective?
It wasn't that bad on mine. I'm using my phone to track my ride using Strava and the record shows spot on position.
Its really bad on mine. Tried sMIUI, TS CM 12.1 and TS CM 13. Looks like we are doomed
I'm getting awful GPS signal. I connect to 8/13 satellites but my position isn't precise at all -- error of 2.50 km, that's not good at all.
I tried using it today during a car trip and GPS signal would not update.

The GPS is weaker than on my Huawei P8 Lite indeed. Haven't really tested it, but signal strength is a bit worse.
Same here. Rarely get less than 30 feet GPS location
This may sound weird, but my GPS actually works pretty well, but ONLY if I disable all NTP_server=xxx.pool.ntp.org listings in gps.conf. Earlier my phone refused to find any gps satellites, but now that I have all NTP_servers disabled (including the test server...time.gpsonextra.net), everything's working like a charm (this with Mokee ROM).

Yes it´s weard, but that´s the solution for that phone. That fixed my GPS! Thanks so much! Just deleted everthing with NTP and now GPS works like a charm. Never worked so fast and precise.

Awesome! I'm glad if it solved your GPS issues. It's still not the most powerful GPS out there, but at least it works.
GPS is definitely weaker than other devices indoors. Outdoors is okay. This app helped me get a faster lock in MIUI 8.05 stable:

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A70's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Wifi on the A70 has major issues, completely drops connection all the time, even if at full signal strength. Very very bad, I've never seen a device with wifi this bad in my life.

Strange. I've never had any issues till now. Using for 3 months
Do you have the American version? All the other threads about this issue I'm finding on Google are people with the European version, and I'm Canadian which usually gets the same as them. There's even an A70-unique setting in developer options called "wifi safe mode" made just for this device, and there's been 5 updates since launch about "wifi stability", it's got issues. I get about 1-2 drops per hour.

Ohh. Nope I have the GM version (India) and I don't have that option in settings
i am loosing wifi connection many times a day....it's bad...
I have also this problem
Not know solutions ?
No problems with wifi signal - I like A70 how it works on wifi . But we need to remember that router is important for connection quality and speed - I have tp-link Archer C1200 at home - and A70 5ghz get 433 Mb/s ~ 170 mb/s transfers while old Moto get 150 Mb/s connection and about 110 mb/s transfers . I have cable internet connection 200Mb/s .
Works fine here. I get up to 35mbyte/s. Fastest WiFi I've had on a phone. Everything is stock.
I can only get around 50mbps on Speedtest, which sucks because my old phone (a Nokia 7 Plus) can reach twice that speed.
wifi stregnth is good for me, but throughput/speed not so much..but still good.
my internet is 500Mb/s up and down.
on my Xiaomi mi 9, on 5ghz, i get 450Mb/s up and down with 1ms ping.
on A70 i get around 325Mb/s up and 350 down with 2ms ping
after november update wifi is acting up again...it is almost unbearable to use, i am loosing connection every once in a while...
You need a section just for hotspot. I have a lot of things to say about hotspot. 5GHz not showing up on Windows WiFi list. Not the case with my other 5GHz capable hotspot phones. This is an almost unspoken about issue as so few people are using 5GHz hotspots. My wife's Huawei has actual channel selection of its 5GHz hotspot. My A70 has got stuck in a rut on the channels in the mid hundred range. The low channels such as 40, 44, 48 are the best for Windows to see.
Of course 2.4 GHz AP has channel selection and auto option on the A70 but this is not very significant. Most phones do.
Most phones don't offer 5GHz hotspot. Seems to have started in the later part of the teens decade only.
To get a phone with actual channel control in 5GHz I can only suggest that you try a Huawei.
Pretty important issue, for those of us with non sim enabled computers who want the fastest internet possible in our locales.
The only thing I notice is when you log out all your samsung accounts the wifi is now all good. Just my exp but you can try
Does galaxy a70 has MIMO for Wifi .?
Seems like Android 10 Update for Samsung Galaxy A70 has fixed wifi speed sync issue for 2.4Ghz band. Now it shows full speed (150Mbps) instead of 72Mbps. Now i can reach "100Mbps" on speedtest (full bandwidth of my subscription) from my crappy wifi router (b/g/n - 150M - Max!)

I don't have this issue but whereas my Samsung note 4 picks up WiFi downstairs, my A70 completely fails to find that ssid
So i was doing some speedtests to compare the 5G and LTE speeds at my house. I did this by switching the preferred network setting in settings to enable/disable 5g, and confirmed the icon in the status bar changed.
After a few tests switching 5g on and off in the network settings where the speeds were nearly identical...I checked the band the phone was using in Network Signal pro. Even though the status bar read 5g, the app confirmed I was still on LTE. I guess the tower by my house only has LTE, but the bigger issue here is that the phone never switches the indicator between 5G and LTE.
What gives? Is this normal behavior? I know it's been on 5g before, I was out somewhere else and got sweet speeds and even confirmed the band in the same app. Seems like the icon is useless if it doesn't actually tell me if it's using 5G or LTE.

Currently 5G is running in NSA ( non stand alone) meaning it has to connect to LTE to connect to 5G. Most apps will report the LTE information and not the NR information. You can use cell mapper and look for 5G State and if it says connected you're on 5G. It won't tell you what NR band your phone is on though. Only way in this phone to find out what 5G band your on is by using Network Signal Guru app (but you need root and license for it to show NR info).

I don't have any specific links. Just a lot of researching 5G lead to knowing that. I've been following 5G news and information before networks even started deploying it, so I've probably read too many articles about 5G at this point lol. An interesting thing is that all US carriers are planning on switching to stand alone 5G later this year. Once that happens, 5G will no longer have to connect with LTE as well which should fix the issue of the fake 5G icon. I will link 1 article that talks a little about the networks using NSA currently and how the 5G icon is currently set to display in Android (which can include not actually being on 5G). The one article is here. So easiest way to know for sure is cell mapper and 5G state: connected or get the beta version of Network Signal Guru (although you have to be rooted for that app).
Very interesting...the fun of being an early adopter. Thanks for the answer!
I have the tmo op 8 was pretty fast then tmo added two more bands and the speed is really good now. I read that they are going to have 5G LTE which will be even faster.
