Just switched from OP10 Pro to Sony and I noticed this same thing. With my OP10 Pro I usually got very good signal, but with Xperia the signal is very poor.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mazany:
Me as well, especially on WiFi. My router supports only WiFi 4 and I get poor signal if not directly next to the router.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] lassetth:
I switched from Nothing Phone 1 to Sony and I noticed this same thing. With my NP1 I usually had a very excellent signal,
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] bobstar3233:
Okay glad it's not just me, but I wonder why it's like that now
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] pomelowu:
Phew, I am not alone. Mine works poorly with Wifi 6. Any ideas to fix?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] ov_darkness:
I've noticed this also, and the Bluetooth connection (with Sony's WH-1000XM4 and WF-1000XM3) is also very weak.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] itvaletchu:
I have noticed this bluetooth issue only when screen is Off? How about you?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Skaterkemal:
I'm also switching from xperia 1 to 1 IV and bought a metal frame case for the phone with a lower signal, the signal has dropped even more I don't use a case anymore
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] XmlNode:
Unfortunately, the GPS signal is weak a lot of times and stops navigating.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Skaterkemal:
Will this signal issue be fixed with an upgrade?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] XmlNode:
I do hope that Sony will fix these soon.

Signals should not be an issue in 2022. However, be aware that the GPS is only a single-band one, despite some specs around the net.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] afshineb:
Hi, I just realized the solution.

Please install voWIFI app via play store, disable DSDS, and you are done!

If you totally missed your Antenna, be sure that u are using the first sim slot for your sim card
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] bobstar3233:
I'll see if this does anything, initally it looks like it did nothing but it's too early to tell as it could just be where I am right now
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dvdman2k:
Same here. It looks so nice with metal case. Call quality not that great also
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mihirjha:
Metal cases do degrade network signal very much. be it of any kind, GPS, carrier signals, Bluetooth and WI FI.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] liwetlt:
Sony uses its signal scale in quality, the rest of the companies in power.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Yakkosmurf:
I didn't get a 1 IV until the Android 13 release, upgrading from a 5 III. I also use a work iPhone 11 regularly. I'm in the US and my phones are all US market models, and I live in a large metropolitan area. Both of my phones are in carbon fiber cases with metal in them. Here are my observations, which seem to be more positive than what is posted here.

Wifi: My home network is Wifi 6, and the signal on the 1 IV is usually weaker than the iPhone 11. But, it's only by 1 or 2 dbm, per the data from my router. However, if you run a speedtest on both phones, the Xperia 1IV always gives a higher Mbps reading than the iPhone.

BT: I have WF-1000XM3 and M4s and both work fine on both phones. I can get further away from the phone with either headphones from the iPhone than the Xperia, but the Xperia works fine if it's sitting next to me or in my pocket. No issues with connecting to other devices like speakers or car stereos.

Cellular: My 1 IV is on T-Mobile, while my iPhone is on Verizon, so hard to compare there. However, my wife has an iPhone 14 Pro Max on T-Mobile, and in spot comparisons, my Xperia gets better reception and faster data connectivity. When I'm on 5G, my Xperia regularly gets over 1Gbps download speeds, even without full bars on the signal meter.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] tomo100brt:
I am from Croatia and I have very poor 3G signal, 2G, 4G and 5G signals are OK so in my home there is no 3G signal at all and I am not available because my network doesnt have VoLTE. I am on 64.1.A.0.882 firmware. Before I would have signal problems but restart would fix that. Now, after restart nothing is fixed. Till now I reset my phone 2 times and it was on service repair because of fingerprint sensor. 2 days ago everything was OK. I don't know what is going on. Is there any fix? Could this be Google Play System problem? Because yesterday I got another Google Play System update of 9 MB for March and around that time this problem started and I don't see any fix.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] tomo100brt:
I manage to solve problem. I call this code in the phone *#*#4636#*#* and it opens Testing. In there I went to

Phone info --> three dots --> Select radio band --> Automatic

and after that everything start to work. I don't know what radio band was set before because I couldn't read that. I gess that every time when problem happens I'll have to do this.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
AFAIK, every network operator in Croatia supports VoLTE. At least those that have their own infrastructure, not sure about their sub brands.

What might be the your issue is that you are still stuck on some older plan that did not have that service activated at the time. Either because it was not available or it was additional cost. Usually, switching to a newer plan even without contract gets you all new services. The same was with LTE itself and recently with 5G.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] YL 2000:
最初遇到同样问题以为是手机问题，*#*#4636#*#*测试界面选择LTE/NR，4G=LTE、5G=NR 我关闭了3G和 2G，修改了APN，现在网速很快，和别的手机没有任何区别。每个当地环境不一样，具体设置与当地有关，这里淘汰了3G和2G，我不再需要他们。
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Hennessy Xian:
Sorry, I don't know how to help you because the 5G & 4G signal looks fine on my phone. But I noticed the poor signal of WLAN which is a typical issue of every Xperia 😭.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] spine6:
I thought because I move to Canada, the bands that support local telco is weak(Using HK version) but looks like it is confirmed some of the xperia having this signal issue. Anyone manage to update to Android 14 and check if this was fixed?

[Realme GT Neo 2] Herinek:
So i was recording a video with 1080p 60fps and after like 15+ mins of recording my phone stopped working. The camera screen stopped working and there was a pink line on screen but after like 10 seconds the mobile went off(black screen). I´ve tried holding the power button and even power+vol. up but no reaction. I´m charging the phone if something happens but nothing at all for now.

The mobile surely had more than 30% while recording and after the screen went black, the device was a bit hot, but i thought that was normal since i was recording for quite a while. My theory is that the battery died, but that´s weird since i only have the phone for like 3 months.

Is there something i can do myself or should i send the phone to someone?
[Realme GT Neo 2] blackhawk:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] GhyrosBARK:
Got a used Galaxy J5 Prime, model SM-G570M/DS, which had a Brazil ZTM ROM (TIM Carrier)... which was very slow and bloated even after a hard reset.

So downloaded the latest ZTO Android Oreo ROM and tried to flash it, which failed, because the ZTM ROM has a binary version of 9 and the latest ZTO ROM i could find is Binary 8.

But I found a PEO ROM which is Binary 9... anhd has no bloatware at all. Looks and feels like a ZTO...

Hi,

last week i bought new Xiaomi 12x. After setting it up, I found that installed firmware version is 13.0.2.0(RLDEUXM) (R means android 11) . Google doesn't know this build and my phone does not receive and updates (there should be V13.0.3.0 or V13.0.5.0). The right version by https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/psyche/ should be V13.0.2.0.SLDEUXM (S means android 12). Does anybody know hot to fix it without rooting (phone is still in waranty)?

Thanks in advance.

The update from A11 to A12 will go through the OTA.

[Xiaomi 12X] NOSS8:
I guess you tried to change region (Belgium) restart and try the OTA IN WIFI.

Either you wait for the update to be offered to you (sometimes never) or you unlock the bootloader which will allow you to install any rom including Xiaomi EU roms which are better than stocks.

First error "lock flag is unlock". Then it restarts and after that comes second errors as you can see in the pic. It keeps restarting forever. I used magisk. With odin programmed patched AP, nothing else. Also tried to program all files BL CSC and so on. But same happens. Firmware should be suitable? After unlocking bootloader I checked settings and it was unlocked. What is wrong? Should I try older firmware? But then it doesn't match with A035GXXU1AVH1.

Hi,

Last month, I installed PixelExperience Extended on my Mi 9T Pro, as the official ROM doesn't release updates anymore.

I was very happy with the new ROM.

Then 2 days ago I got a popup saying that there was an update of the ROM.

I proceeded with the OTA update, my phone rebooted and immediatly got stuck in 'Fastboot' logo.

No matter what key combination I try, it just reboots back at fastboot.

When I connect via USB, it says the device malfunctioned and I cannot execute adb commands. (Tried several PC's/USB ports)

In Windows Device Manager, it says 'Unknown USB Device', Device descripter request failed.

Does anybody have some advice?

I also tried to install specific Mi 9T Pro drivers to solve the 'unknown USb device", but that didn't work.

3. Why? There is only a few rare viruses out there for windows mobile and it's hard to get them unless you randomly install files that you find. You can't infect the phone without actually installing the file.

5. I used to love that program...

6. To protect them from...? Being deleted? Receiving them? From the dog? o_O

Hello, I've been searching and lurking.. I've unlocked the bootloader on my Pixel 3a. I've rooted before, restored before, nandroids etc etc. So I've been in the game for a little while. (all the way back to my LG Ally!) Anyways. I was wondering what would be the best method of Rooting and installing TWRP on the Pixel 3a at this point in time, and if TWRP is even possible at this point. (September 2022) Should I use Magisk? NetHunter seems to rely on the device having TWRP in order to flash the kernel. (but we don't NEED it to flash the kernel do we?) I keep coming across old posts which do not apply to the build of my phone and I'm feeling very lost. This phone is not my daily driver, and I am confident when it comes to restoring a soft-brick. It's a Google Fi pixel, bought from the google store, maybe that helps.
