Hi All,
I got my pixel 3a from US but started using it in India.
I am using Airtel sim but comparing to my previous mobile my sim network is poor in 3a and can't able to use 4g network. Other my small end mobile devices network speed is very good.
Any suggestions to get a good network speed in my 3a mobile??
Thanks,
Shivam.

Hello,
- first off i would recommend you to set your APN settings for your provider manually.
- there does not seem to be variants (global or eu etc) for the Pixel so i assume they all have the same hardware.
- if you have the device from an carrier (with bloat or etc) i would advise to flash a clean stock factory image
- The reception of mine is really great/really good (compared to other devices), but i live in a big city in germany, so i understand your experience may differ.
- Also i had to enable wifi calling in the settings by myself, this helps for calling reception indoors.
good luck!

Dear XDA community
I have a D821 device and since I started using mobile data I noticed that I was having a very unusual issue. I was getting only 2G and 4G signals with greek carrier COSMOTE GR & VODAFONE GR. Max signal on cosmote was Edge and when on 4G coverage 4G. On Vodafone I'm getting GPRS only. Any member had any similar issue and any solution to Fix it? Can it be a software issue or hardware?

I think that this is just about coverage and signal strenght of your providers.

Hi,
I've been using my Xperia Z3 D6603 for about 2 weeks now on the Virgin Mobile (Bell Mobilily) network in Canada and the network reception is horrible. The signal keeps bouncing from 2-3 bars to zero bars wherever I go. My habits have not changed since using an LG G3 which I never experienced signal problems with. I think it's something to do with the phone not being able to connect to GSM and connects to CDMA only. I think this bc when I go to GSM only under network settings it won't connect at all.
What I've tried:
- Installed generic Canadian firmware
- Went to GSM only under network setting, and have NO Signal
- Entered Virgin's APN settings
Does anyone else have any suggestions?? This is such a nice phone and would love to keep if I can get the signal issue fixed.

Ok then it s better to take it to service center to check its hardware
:good:
Oh man, I really hope it's not hardware...
This might be a dumb question, but are you sure you have D6603 and not another variant?
Anybody else finding that the reception on this phone is not as good as your previous devices?
I am on Verizon and I already have bad reception inside and outside of my house.
Previously had a Nexus 6p and LGv10 . Both had a hard time locking on signal but not as bad as the Oneplus7pro.
Are there any tweaks I can make to improve the reception?
I am fully capable of editing/flashing anything as I am unlocked/rooted/TWRP'd etc.
Thanks

Not having issues.
I'm on Verizon.
My unlocked GM1917 has very good coverage & reception on T-Mobile.
Working well here with Metro.
No issues with AT&T.
I'm on Tmobile and my 7Pro unlocked (not Tmobile branded) is getting at least 30% faster download and upload speeds then my OP 6 with the sim card and same areas. I just pop it out and put in the other phone. OP6 is downloading at 123mbps and my 7Pro 20 seconds later is pulling 161mbps. So the new modem on the SD855 is significantly better. Not sure about the other carriers but the 7Pro network speeds are insane.
My GM1915 has better reception, wifi, and bt than my note9
How exactly are you gauging the quality of the cellular reception?
I'm on Verizon and had the OnePlus 7 Pro working for about 2 days. I haven't noticed any signal issues that I didn't already have with my Galaxy S8+.

I have Verizon also and no problems but keep in mind if you are in a bad area that the 7pro has no cdma to fall back on and will have to struggle on a weak LTE signal.
It also has no vowifi on Verizon so Google voice with WiFi calling on would be the only rescue.
Hello, so I'm currently looking to replace my phone and the only phone that fits my needs is the z6. My only concern is comparability with tmo. Do any z6 owners use tmo? And if so, how is the lte? If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
My last phone was oneplus 3, and I'd say speed is about on par, both get LTE. But no voLTE for zenfone. There are places where I'm getting receptions and oneplus 3 didn't. I don't think you will notice much difference, unless you are in a place where band 71 is normal.
I get better data speeds than my gfs Galaxy s9. I'm in Chicago
For the most part it's ok speeds could be a tad faster at times but 90% of the time coverage and speeds are fine
No volte or wifi calling

works well with TMobile
All good for me. As above, only thing is missing volte and wifi calling. Using the phone successfully on tmo in Southern California and roaming in Taiwan and China.
Hi,
I'm having speed issues on OnePlus 7 using Jio. While the internet is relatively more smooth on Moto G5+.
One thing I did note was when connected to a phone call, it gets faster speeds.
I'm not sure if changing the band could affect anything.
While looking into it I came across https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/root-change-network-band-internet-speed-t4015883
My phone is not rooted, so not sure if it'll be able to change the band similarly.
Asking if someone can confirm.
Thanks.
Works
Rooted it myself and it does work.
Unfortunately didn't affect Jio's connection on either band.
Moto G5+ gets more signal strength than OnePlus 7 huh.

it works just "Network signal guru" app(mentioned in op link) does not support dual sim for basic users
try this
it has dual sim support for free users

and make sure you take carrier aggregation into consideration while making changes to bands of respected carrier.
good luck
