When i hold the upper part of the phone , the wifi signal dropped from 3 bar to 1 bar . Anyone also experienced the same problem ? Is it common for xzs ? Or it's manufacture defect ?
Hello,
i can confirm that the Wifi reception is not the best. I had the Xperia Z2 before i switched to the XZs and the Wifi is more worse than the Wifi from the Z2. I also tryed to hold the upper section of the phone and my reception is completely away (upstairs in my house).
So i think it is not a manufactore defect.

Hi all,
My xperia xz having 1 bar reception almost every time, any has the same problem as me?
Sometimes 2 or 3 bars, and 4 bars is rarely happen.
I also tried my sibling's simcard(other telco), 1 bar in my room and 2/3 bars when i walk to main door. Any suggestions? Thanks
Mine seems to as well, in thinking it could be cosmetic issue?
Otherwise maybe the wrong baseband?
Not too sure. Was yours purchased through import or local supplier?

Yup, bought from local Sony centre.
My previous Xperia z had stronger reception tho.

Not sure then \o/
I have my Z2 and XZ side by side.
One bar less on the XZ.
It's not cosmetic : at places where I have from 1 to 2 bars on the Z2 (at work), the XZ is between no connexion and poor connexion.
At home, 3 bars on the Z2, 2 bars on the XZ.
(both without cases during my tests).
Mine appears low most of the time, but the signal is fine. Check with an app like LTE Discovery and see if the signal is really as low as it looks. I know that when I flashed a UK (and now AU) firmware to enable the fingerprint reader, the signal indicator lost a bar and always looks lower than the US one for some reason.
Mine also looks low but reception is always good and I have met been out of reach of had calls dropping. So I am not worried
But I do think my WiFi reception is slightly less than my previous HTC one m7

Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs

Sitting in the same spot, my Z2 works fine while my XZ could not connect to Internet and calls are not possible. This is with the same SIM card tried. Where there is low signal, my XZ shows "No Service", not a single bar. Could not locate network as well. I already sent it to Sony center. Hopefully, they would not just run software repair and return it to me because I have done that and it didn't help.
Just found out the problem, the problem is not the phone... it's the telco im using. If I switch to LTE, some place that doesn't have strong LTE signal, the phone will get low reception. If I allowed max connection to 3G, I get full bars. So no worries and thanks.
it actually is a bug in Sony firmware. They way they calculate the display against the signal strength is wrong. why on Earth Sony shows 1 bar with 86db and 53 asu while for example Huawei p9 for exactly the same signal values shows 4 out of 5 bars.
XZ signal display is simply unrealistic.
In my case, xz dual, Polish operator play, net signal is best I had in Android phone.
i have full bars on 3g but on 4g(LTE) i get from1 to 3 bars at most....so it looks like that this behavior is normal for Sony LOL
IMHO don't compare bars to bars. Signal bars are always a completely arbitrary representation. Instead, use the SIM status in settings or whatever other signal measuring app to see the dBm or asu. I have compared my XZ signal to Huawei Mate 9, Galaxy S5, Motorola X Style, and Motorola Nexus 6, and have had equal or greater signal (with concrete dBm numbers) compared to every one.

Your explanation makes a lot of sense, I wondered about singal being low sometime but knew the phone was still having good singal thru lte discovery app on the playstore

Hi, with my Nokia 6 i have experienced that it has same wifi MAC address for all devices and it's causing conflicts on router and disconnects . Is there any solution for this. I have 3 phone with same MAC address.
Cheers

I'm quite sure thet you have mistaken MAC with IP, all you need to do is to stop using static ip-s for your phones or change them so they won't be conflicting with eachother.

the range actually is pretty good vs s7
but the speed is huge compared to s7 on a Linksys wrt3200acm router
I find the range to be lacking compared to my old LG V10 but the throughput is great.
Bluetooth issues
Dualshock 4 connects but no inpuit, when Bluetooth speaker is enabled the audio causes controls to be slow on gear vr

This thread is about Wi-Fi not bluetooth.
On the review section there is communications like radios but no section for Bluetooth. So I posted it here as it's the closest thing
I got an S8 today and tested it out and it was like maxed out at 39 Mbps when i have Gig internet, so dunno if there is something I gotta turn on or off, or just test it again later once its on network for awhile

It's garbage. Sat next to the router it's normal speed but one room away it's unusable and I switch to mobile data.

I have the exact same problem with the WiFi.
We have a 50 mb connection. When I'm near the router it's ok. But like you said, move any bit away and it's so slow. If I go to the kitchen I get 0mb.
A couple of feet away and it's gone. All the other phones in the house are perfect.
Bad coverage and speeds.
Any fix for this?
What the hell? I just noticed that too, WiFi download performance is completely bull****! If I change room or get a few meters away from my router the bandwith gets to less than 100*kB/s (on a 2*MB/s connection!).
What can I do with that poor performance? Never seen anything that bad before, if I knew that before I wouldn't have bought it.
Wifi still shows a perfect signal strength (all the bars on WiFi icon). Also when I put my hand above the top right of the phone, there the WiFi is completely dead and I receive nothing at all.

Maybe that helps

Thanks for the link but how changing MAC address and IMEI number can help with WiFi issues?
So this problem comes from the antenna because the reception is really affected by the phone's position and angle. When I*turn 180° or when I tilt the phone upwards it starts getting better, but not as my old Ulefone Paris. Can't get over 1*MB/s at all with the Speedtest.net app.

Maybe to clear the cache and dalvik cache
Wiping cache and dalvik cache did nothing. Sadly I’m returning the phone, as I can’t live with a malfunctionning WiFi.
I think I’m gonna go with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 instead: better support, better ROM, better cameras, better performances, better battery life… It’s only not as pretty as the Elephone S8, has a micro-USB plug and the fingerprint scanner is on the back but hey, the advantages are quite big… =)
If you still have the option, you should return it

Greetings from Greece. My name is Babis. I just bought Nokia 7.2. It's a very nice phone, although the Galaxy S6 Edge i had is better an some points. Anyway, i write this message to tell you about a problem that occured. I have 2 bluetooth headsets. One for outdoor activities (AWEI) and one for indoor as handsfree (SONY MDR-ZX220BT). The problem is that Nokia doesn't see the Sony headset. Although it recognises immidiately the AWEI headset. Also, it sees devices on other appartments. Amazing. I tried to switch off both and switch on again without any result. I also did a soft reset to Nokia and tried to connect again. No result to. Do you have any idea what's going wrong ? Or do you know who should i ask? Thanks in advance.
