signal

i have nexus 5 16gb white, signal is very very weak!!! i have N4 and GN and have perfect signal!

the problem of weak wifi, is all about the nexus? we have to wait for a fix or should call google and give it back?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artiwal:
I'm facing the same issue. I'm few feets from AP and I'm getting weak and unstable signal. The worse thing is that it is not picking up signal from my main AP (Edimax) at home... It does not "see" the network at all even all other devices at home use it fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipm:
Very weak signal with this phone, I got full bars on my previous phones in my office but now only 2 bars. If you put your hand near the top of the phone the signal completely drops.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneMoreBrick:
Same issue here, very weak reception. No issues with may tablet or laptops, but Nexus isnt getting good signal. White 32GB.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naack:
Yup weak signal. Initially it didn't want to connect to 3g but that was fixed with the service menu. And now I am noticing weak WiFi signal.

I'm guessing this has to do with the antenna.

Its easy to open the phone I'm going to crack it open and see what I find.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Have you folks tried going into your N5's WiFi settings & look under the Advanced submen (press the 3 dots on the lower right of screen)

Tried turning off 5 Ghz band if your router is on the typical 2.4 Ghz band - and if you have the newer dual band N router, enable your 5 Ghz band - could be interferences from other nearby devices or AP ??

Install the free app, Wifi Analayzer from Play Store & run it - take a look at your AP's signal strength, try switching to a less congested channel since the airwaves are shared, regardless which of the 11 channels you are defaulting to ...

Mine is running just fine, -60 to -50 dBm with the N home router behind 2 sheetrock walls.

Compared to my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SIII, I have superior Wifi Signal on my Nexus 5 to a very positive surprise...however network drop outs for Cellular connection is quite annoying...

I have to use my 2.4GHz connection because the phone didn't work at all on the 5GHz.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM_Petrol:
I have this problem too. Sometimes my signal is so weak that it disconnects with the router and falls back on 3G.

I tried everything. Just went into Safe Mode, but Wifi is still weak, it doesnt matter.

I tried to only use 2,4GHz and turned Wifi optimalisation off. Still the same weak signal.

I tested it with the app "Wifi Analyzer" If I stand next to the router it gets about -50dBm. Then I tested it with my brothers Galaxy S2, he got -40dBm. Thats a difference of 10dBm. -40dBm is a stronger signal.

We tried it at the 2nd floor, and he got a better signal again. So it's obviously my Nexus.

Android 4.4.2, stock, no root or something. Google come with a solution please. My previous phone had the same ****ty Wifi (HTC One X).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
EDIT: Updated my router's firmware and now 5GHz works fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburn95:
I tried turning off WiFi optimization and selecting 2.4hz only but that made it where my WiFi wouldn't work at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Did you try setting it to 5Ghz? Everyone's network is different. My old Wireless G router and uses 2.4Ghz only but most newer networks will be running on 5Ghz.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM_Petrol:
I contacted LG about it. And they said that it's probably my device. So I can send it in for repair.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneMoreBrick:
Mine works great on 5GHz. But 2.4 is the problem. Just using 5 isn't a good option because it doesn't have as good a range as 2.4 does. So when in rooms furthest away from the router every other device works fine on 2.4 but I get nothing on either band.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburn95:
I've tried both frequency's. 5ghz won't even connect to my network, 2.4 slow as .5G

Save me =\

I just got my Nexus 5 a few weeks ago and it's doing really bad when I use the Wi-fi. I'm living in a dorm, they provide internet wi-fi on campus. My nexus 3 worked great using this network. Now, I have several problems to keep my device connected. I have two friends that bought the nexus 5 and they have the same problem. I also have had some problems to connect my device in the wifi's college. They have a good signal on-campus, and my device doesn't connect! However, old smartphones are working very well. So, what should I do? I have done all tips I found in the forums. That's really bother me. =\ Right now, I need to stay in the hall of the dorms to use the wifi. There is full signal when I use my laptop in my bedroom, but almost zero signal in my Nexus --'
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
What have you tried so far?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tummedeiros:
No, I'm not so far to the routers. Actually, in my laptop I have full signal. And in my nexus 5, it's weak. This is using the network in my dorm, it's a wirelles service provided by a privacy company.

Anyway, the worst problem is, the college updated the wirelles network, and now, I don't know why, but I can't connect my nexus anymore. This is another network I have had some problems. Before the manutencion it was good, but now I can't use. But I can connect another device easily. According the app "WiFi analizer" the router is called "xirrus"

This is totally disgusting
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I actually meant what troubleshooting steps have you attempted up until this point. I know you said you tried "everything" but I'm wondering what exactly.

Keep in mind that the N5 uses a newer Wireless AC chip. This is going to react to networks differently then say your laptop and there are some common compatibility issues which can be alleviated.

I'm currently on omega 43.3 based on xxemc3 with modem DDDLJ1. Planning to move to a sammy based 4.3 rom. Are the following steps ok? Or do I need to add more

1. Backup up data + EFS

2. wipe internal sd

3. boot into cwm

4. install.

A little confused about the modem. Which one should I install ?

Also once I've moved on to 4.3 in case I need to come back to 4.1.2 what are the steps I need to follow?

Sent from a galaxy far away
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nandroid backup + EFS backup + titanium backup + whatever you back up your sms with if applicable

Wipe data / factory reset from recovery

Flash ROM

Use whatever modem you want, it's not relevant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulley06:
the modem being compatible with efs v1/v2 will not cause any issues?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well yes, that's a given. The modem that comes with the rom will work, or reflash the modem you have now. Obviously without an EFS v1 backup, you cannot use an EFS v1 modem. This hasn't changed. But why anyone would need an EFS v1 modem nowadays is beyond me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulley06:
Reason why I asked about the efs v1 modems was that I still haven't moved on to the newer modem versions. Have'nt updated since omega v43.3. Guess it's time to change
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reloadedz:
Thanks for this usefull post
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well hopefully, you should be able to restore EFS v1 backup after flash and use an older modem. But before flashign latest rom, you could try and flash just one of the latest modems and see how they work for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radder124:
But while flashing the new ROM, you'll get a new modem so you don't need to bother you with a EFS backup. The backup is only here in case of troubles.

Back in late October, a leaked document had given us a look at the update schedule for the Android 4.3 updates for various Samsung devices by major US carriers, including the Galaxy S4. Now, a new document obtained by Android Police has revealed that the Galaxy S4 on carrier US Cellular will begin receiving the update from November 8th, starting from 9 AM in the morning.

The update – build R970TYURMJA – will add support to the Galaxy S4 for the Galaxy Gear, improve performance and display quality, add new camera and TouchWiz features, KNOX functionality, and more. Also accompanying the update will be a newer Kies version, so for those using their computers to upgrade, an update to Kies might be required as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctleng76:
This update has nothing to do with the SGH-I337. I know there isn't a forum for the US Cellular variant, but you should title the post of this thread accordingly. If you have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, then you model number is SCH-R970. The i337 is an AT&T only variant.

It probably makes more sense for this thread to exist in the Galaxy S4 international forums.

I put this update off until yesterday. I wish i had continued to put it off as this update is a hunk of garbage. My phone has rebooted over 20x and constantly crashes when playing games, and any other hardware intensive application.

No I am not exaggerating.

I booted into recovery, wiped 3x to hard reset it and still have these issues. I am now looking at a custom ROM from this site to install.

Do not install this update if you can avoid it.

Hi everyone~

I am a new user of XDA, and I got a O2 xda exec (UK) last week (as my christmas present~^^). I surf this forum in these two days, and I find that dopod 900 rom could make my xda display and type in chinese (am I right?). OK, my first question is how can I get the the latest rom of dopod 900? and the other question is could I update the rom or replace the o2 rom without any tool kit? and the last but not hte least, can I change back to o2 default rom if I fail in changing the rom? THANKS~!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] FOSA:
RE

shunichi,

Did you get a registered copy of CEStar Suite or a trial copy? Trial copy gives limited write capabilty which might affect the O2 EXEC. Reading sms and web sites should be ok

As for using a chinese ROM you can post over at the other thread and probably get better advise.

Make sure you have the latest occam image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

Use 7-Zip to extract the files from within the .tgz file, and then the .tar file.

Shift + Right Click in the folder to Open a Command Prompt, and run the following commands:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Its a common error after flashing the factory images and all you usually have to do is this:

-Boot into STOCK RECOVERY (If you are running a custom recovery you must flash to stock)

-Clear cache

-Factory reset

which is right at the top of el daddy's thread
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsteg94:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEagle:
Yeah, i think i just found a easy way to go around this problem!

Very simple:

1. After flashing the stock rom use Nexus Root Toolkit to do a OEM Lock

2. Run CMD fastboot and use this command: fastboot oem unlock. You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept.

3 Restart and that's it! Your back to 13GB again :D

Thanks to all for your help. I will share this info on El Daddy thread.

I've had this issue come up more times than I can count, and just the other day I wasn't able to get back to the full storage allotment after several attempts following the steps to erase all the partitions and reflash.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] harvickgm:
You must have ROOT to complete this process. I have been having issues with my light and proxy sensor ever since I had gone S-Off on the phone.. well tonight i decided to do some research and see if I could figure it out. I love having S2W and DT2W but without the pocket protection, you tend to turn the screen on alot when you dont want to, well some how the calibration gets changed.

there are two apps on the Play Store to help get you set up

the first will be your testing app, its called - Android Sensor Box

and the second is called - Rezound Prox Sensor Calibration

when i used the Android Sensor Box, my light sensor would never go over 40 luxes and drop to 10 luxes when I covered the sensor. and my prox sensor always said "NEAR" and would never change

Now go to the Prox Sensor Calibration app, my stock settings were 16 low and 24 high (I think), after playing around with it, I found a great sweet spot set at 40 low and 60 high, but feel free to play and see how it works for you. when done, click on "Set on Boot" and reboot the phone.

When my phone rebooted, I went back to the Sensor Box app and just under normal light conditions my light sensor was at 160 luxes and as i slowly covered the sensor it gradually went down. then i checked my prox sensor and it worked perfectly and would change from "NEAR" to "FAR" after my hand moved farther then 2 inches away. and this fixed my S2W function with working pocket protection.

I hope my frustration will help someone else out with the same issues
