Right now the internet service is great but to call someone it's really hard even if they are right in front of you. I have t mobile.

Right now the phone call to someone is great, but the internet service is sluggish it's really hard to get stable upstream even if you are outdoors. I have at&t.
also, long range mobile data connection is fantastic, went to deep sea fishing during the weekend. got stable LTE signal and speed a few miles from the coast, what kind of modification reduce short distance but boost long range connection.

That's funny I have great internet service but no calling yours is exactly the opposite LOL!
Hi, I was having a problem too, it would mostly be connected to 3G instead of LTE, I'm on AT&T. I restarted the phone and it's working for a few days. I'll write again if it changes.

What is 3G for you AT&T and how did you do it? send screenshots if you can thanks.
sometimes will easily get disconnected from mobile network. not sure is the coverage or phone.

As a dual sim user I'm severely disappointed. If you're using a single sim the phone works fairly well. If you use dual sims whichever one is not set as the data sim will be lucky to receive calls and when you do it is garbled and unusable. This is my only issue with this phone.
WiFi or data seems like stopping transfers(delay or pause)
Phone becomes a bit warm when using cellular data not so on Wi-Fi. Nothing alarming though
This is going to be an area I will be paying close attention to, I spend a lot of time in remote areas so I will be keeping my old faithful s5 in my vehicle just in case it doesn't perform like I hope it will
I used to have an iPhone 6 and I am weekly in an area where I can only get one bar with LTE. With nothing going on I regularly stream movies/anime. I have since went from the iPhone to zenfone 2, I could get a signal but only 4g and barely. So I returned it and I've now had the OP2 for a few months and at first it will pick the(stronger but not faster) 4g connection but by manually changing to "LTE only" in the hidden menu I get the same connection as the iPhone. Just need to change it back when done or else no phone calls.
Overall it's satisfactory as I am able to do what I want to do, would just be nice not to go through the extra hoops to do so.
For a phone I was quite worried about it's doing well so far, usually in my living room I'm at 1 bar LTE signal, the OPT is sitting on 3 bars.
Will still need to see how it performs in remote areas.
If you use this phone outside major cities in Australia, you will definitely need to be on Telstra.
Can't get any mobile data what so ever with any network other than telstra, even in major regional towns.
Not really a surprising discovery, telstra are the only real choice outside the capital cities in Australia.

bad signal strength on oneplus 2
compared with my htc butterfly 2 and another low-end android, one plus 2 running latest Oxygen OS has serious connectivity issues. I compared the signals strength using same sim card in same location (including being connected to the same tower) and One Plus 2 keeps dropping the connection and has really poor signal strength. I have tried the *#*#4636#*#* and tried different network modes, but none of them are helping. Its a real disappointment that the basic feature of this phone is screwed up.
I have tried with CM13 as well. Any ideas if this is a modem version issue?
Phone probably due to metal frame have worse signal, for sure it has worse than my previous phone that already wasn't good on it.
Is there a work around to fix the poor network signal receiver of this phone? This is the great let down of oneplus 2.

Oneplus one too has weak signal, though it has no metal frame. Something is seriously wrong with oneplus phone signal receiver! The company should fix this issue once and for all instead of rolling out one software after another which didn't resolve the problem at all.

No 4G / LTE
Using RR and Linage 14.1 I haven't gotten 4G /LTE yet, on here trying to do some searching why. And this is the only phone that it i alow tethering for both USB and BlueTooth to share internet with other devices it drops from 3G to 1x.. Not sure if that's Verizon or what but this is new i havent seen this before, I would have thought custom ROMs there would be a way to show it as regular phone data to Verizon.
Poor LTE connection and cellular standby battery drain with custom ROMs.
I'm also experiencing poor data speeds on all custom ROMs using T-Mobile in SoCal. Only the stock ROM works well for me data wise. Too bad too, the stock ROM has really low speakerphone volume. Makes me want to get a new phone. ?
Average. May be?
I'm using RETIN, and currently living at Russia.
As far as it comes to coverage for supported frequencues its awesome.
Speeds for 3G data are almost around 1-1.9 MBPS.
For 4G I see speeds 2-2.2MBPS, no significant increase as frequency not supported as of Russia.
When it works, its fantastic but stability is very poor
I assume its either poor drivers or poor carrier support
I get upto 60mbps easy
Tested in India(Jio,Airtel,Vodafone,Idea) as well as the US (AT&T)
Doesn't seem the most stable.
I have tried all big 3 carriers around the metro Detroit area now, and while all have been tolerable, none were/are perfect. I was getting the fastest test speeds on average with MetroPCS to be honest (but it had very limited coverage up north). Cricket Wireless (At&t) honestly maybe was the most consistent with the speed cap they implement being tested all over, but the speed cap got old for the money. And then there's big red "the nations best coverage". I am on Verizon prepaid now and I honestly think it has the most average LTE connection everywhere I go (which maybe isn't always a bad thing?). Verizon is usually working as it should be wherever I am, but I still do get random drops for a second once in a while....and I seem to not be able to speed test as fast as some co-workers with Verizon standing right next to them in the same building. So my final conclusion is I just think the reception from this phone in general may be just average, but hey...it's a $300 phone!
P.S. I am on stock rom 7.0 in the USA (and all test comparisons are real life usage/comparing cellular strength in the battery tab under settings)

Did you confirm that your APN settings are the same on both ROM's? I know that having wrong APN settings can affect data speeds on AT&T and probably Tmobile also.
---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------
I get excellent data speeds, when I'm on the right towers with AT&T, some of their network is really bogged down in SoCal. I also roam in Mexico, and along the coast of Baja California, where their networks are built out right and not over-saturated I can easily get upwards of 45+ Mbit up and down! The beauty of having AT&T on a device like this one, I can roam on Movistar, Telcel, and also AT&T Mex when I'm in Mexico. I just wish the US version of this phone had dual-sim. Moto, if you're listening, you need more US models (that support Tmobile's and AT&T new LTE band (12, 71, etc) frequencies they are rolling out, but also dual-sim capabilities).

Device runs fantastically on T-Mobile network. This is Band 4 (20mhz) + Band 2 (10mhz) speed test. I haven't hit 3xCA yet but I know I will soon.
It's very fast. The image below I got yesterday but in areas I would get 25-30mbps I sometimes only pull 3-5mbps down and the upload will still be 15mbps. Kinda strange. But even at those slower speeds anything I do browser or youtube is instant. So not sure if the app is wonky with the OP5. I mean I shouldn't be able to stream 1080p YouTube content with 2-4mbps download speeds, but I do.
Does anyone use 3g instead of 4g? The problem I'm faceing is that it takes sometimes 5-10 sec before it starts loading the site when using 3g. This problem does not occur when using 4g. I didn't experience the same problem with my Oneplus 3
i have very bad reception with my OP5. At Places where my OP3 had 3G or even 4G the OP5 has E or sometimes no internet... Only at places like a forest or in a basement under an airport (where i work) but my old OP3 has great reception with the same SIM card. Maybe i use the wrong settings or wrong SIM slot?
dual sim inquiry
does the op5 has "Dual SIM Dual Active type" of cellular connection?

I experience exactly the same problem.
When I'm on 3g I can't load anything the first 10 seconds when screen is switched on. I have tested several SIM cards in my op5 (everything works fine with other phone)
It's extremely annoying
Best in class never experienced any problem.
In parts of Rajasthan where cellular reception is very bad, everyone runs toward me to have a call:laugh:

Could be better, especially weak when on H+.
I've been using my OP5 since February when I bought a used one off of Swappa. I have found that I actually get better LTE in places that my N5X didn't get good signal (I had voice, but data was about as fast as 2G even though it was on LTE). Now, I get decent speeds in those same areas (higher end 3G probably akin to HSPA speeds).
I would give five stars, but the problem with the 3g network is awful. In my city there are no 4g/lte operators, my internet conection does not work, I have to constantly switch on and of the airplane mode, it's annoying.

I don't go by the bars I go by the dBm's. The way this phone reads dBm's you pretty much show no bars after 117 dBm's. All other phones I've had showed 1 bar at 117. -97 dBm right now but still only have 3 bars. Should have full signal. -97 is pretty good. Anyways, I have an app that shows dBm's in the notification shade and that's what I go by. More importantly is the fact that my unlocked 6t has Volte with TMobile and my S10e doesn't. Sucks.

The 4G signal is way less good than with my ex Huawei P20. And when it goes from bad reception area to a good reception area, it takes a lot of time to catch the actual signal, sometimes I even need to put on plane mode and then put it off.
Long time to capture signal

This. Takes a long time (minutes) to capture a signal from one area to another.
Anyone has experience with dual sim use in this phone ?
I barely get connection on the second sim and feels like the first sim has even worse reception when a second sim is inserted.
I got this phone like 2 weeks and very disappointed for cellular strength. As mentioned above, often i have to put on airplane mode to get connected to the internet.
This phone has serious problems with reception. It never really bothered me, I got this phone since launch, (exynos variant, dual sim) but now that I don't have broadband until my new provider sets up their network in the house, I have to rely on my mobile data, and it's amazingly bad. I have 2 sims in the phone, but it doesn't make any difference if I remove one or other. I'm in the UK, it could be Vodafone's fault, however I tried my sim in my previous phone (honor 8) and the signal was better (in dBm ofc) and I also tried my gf's sim in my phone and the signal was worse in my phone. I've spent days searching for solution and it turns out Samsung might went cheap on antennas so there isn't much to do. I've tried some 3rd party apps, tried to force only 4g, also tried 3g, reset network settings, reset access point etc; no luck. I'll transfer my number to an other provider and hope that it will help a little bit but to be fair, I don't think it'll help.

My phone on AT&T doesn't connect to any 5G signal, and disconnects from all mobile data as if it have turned airplane mode on about every 10-20 seconds. I am constantly getting "You are offline" and "Back online" massages while just using Chrome.
Not sure if it's software or defective hardware.
I connected to metro for a bit it was pretty bad so then I switched to Tmobile. I thought since TMobile customers get priorization on their network it would be better, but not that good either. Definitely better than metro and there are actually some places I get really good download and upload speeds. But I've had people tell me also who use iPhones and Samsung phones that TMobile isn't that great either so maybe it's just the area I live in. I'm thinking of trying Verizon soon I've heard they got better coverage in my area, but that their 5g is extremely difficult to find. Don't know if it's much of a problem though considering the state of 5g right now lol
I got the Red Magic 5g a few days ago. I noticed the the signal bars does not change stays full bars all the time but it switches from 4g to 3g. I also noticed when I set a hotspot up it won't let me do 5gz and only lets me do 2.4gz. Found a few other issues not relating to this topic too.

You should look into the connection set up of your provider cuss the red magic 5g comes ready for SA + NSA

I've had the phone for a week now, here in South Florida with Tmobile. Was surprised how well it works and picking up 5G service everywhere.
I do have the Chinese version NX659J 16/256gb.
Platforms for measuring cellular networks from mobile phones are very popular. Unfortunately, they all suffer from a simplistic approach and measurement errors, and questions how to interpret these measurements. One such error source is that it is easy to measure the signal strength but hard to draw exact conclusions from it. Our work focuses on understanding the measured signal strength and analyzing it's relationship to enduser service quality. To study interesting causalities, such as the above, between different parameters we developed a measurement platform called Netradar for gathering information from mobile devices. We show the correlation between signal strength and TCP goodput in graphs and geographical maps, and the behavior depending on time of the day. We also discuss grouping of measurements to enable estimating the quality of connectivity in an area.
