WiFi strength, range, and throughput - OnePlus 8T Real Life Review

Rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 8T's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

The phone isn't even out lol

But it's still funny, as it even has a photo of the phone before it's even announced.

A little bit disappointed here as my OP8T has similar issues as my previous iPhone. Before that I had Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and had no problem with WiFi all around my flat where iPhone struggled to get the signal in the room adjacent to my living room where the router is placed. No idea why but had to switch to mobile data to stay online.

I wish I didn't but I did and that can't be undone.
Any way, just wanted to see what was what with the 8T.

WiFi performance is satisfactory !!
I have a 100mbps Fiber to home connection along with Dual Band Gigabit router & 8T can easily max out without any issue even at farthest corners of my home with multiple walls !!

WiFi calling works smoothly & even at downstairs, with a few walls between router & the device, the latency is good enough !!
Connection stays stable & offers steady performance !!
Thanks

Might be getting a Sensation - Q on speeds

Ive been in the 3D forums since launch and I love the 3D but I cant handle Sprints 100k speeds and no answers from them - So I am likely moving to T-Mobile and the Sensation....
Can anyone tell me what speeds they get once you hit your "4G Limit"?
Is it useable at all after you hit your 2,5, or 10GB?
Thanks!
you're stuck at 2g after you hit your limit
Yeah, Ive read varying reports of that speed - around 200k??? Right now, Im lucky to even hit that on my Sprint Connection.

Yeah, around that. The max you'll get is about 300-400 Kbps. If you live in an area with good HSPA connectivity, you should get speeds from 5-7 Mbps down easily in you are within your cap.
This is my best result during peak hours.

Well I've heard some stories of being able to block the data throttling. That only works with perm root though... Not to mention it also only works on certain devices. Sensation could or could not be one of them. But speeds are as mentions above.

Thanks for the replies - I think we are going to swap tomorrow. Sounds like Edge would allow me to stream radio at the least - I checked my old AT&T account and it was rare that I went over 5, I was usually around 4.8GB
I do love the HTC 3D but with the seed Im getting, its like having a lamborghini and going up and down the driveway....
I did test the speed at 2 t-mobile stores in the area and low DL's were around 3000k and high around 5000k .... Im happy with 1500, so this is great

soc temperature

Is it normal that my s6's SoC overheats so quickly?
With 3G/4G browsing plus some facebook the SOC temperature gets up to 60°C pretty quickly.. hell sometimes even 65°c!! this on 3g/4g. Wifi is a bit better but not so much (50-55°C).
The phone itself gets hot and it's very annoying.
Is this normal or is my phone defective?
Can anybody post some screenshots of CPUZ?
thanks

It is cooler today, only around 92F at 9:30pm
Perhaps more relevant...
Screen capture of my S6 while streaming Slingbox video of a baseball game to the TV... showing CPU temp, Battery temp etc...
Mine is at 72 but I can feel heat through the side of my phone not that annoying tbh As quick as I posted it dropped to 52
Hello Guys i have also CPU Overheating problem sometimes 72c and more did you find any solution? or maybe we need to give it back to warranty?

Five minutes browsing with 3g ( weak signal ) :crying:
I have the same problem when I turn mobile data on. It once got up to 63°C (according to phoneinfo). And it's so annoyingly hot on the metal bezel near the power button sometimes.
I found that disabling sync will keep it cooler. Also it gets hotter on mobile data then on WiFi.
So is this a defect, because I have my warranty?

Signal strength, LTE, 4G, getting signal, etc

Hi everyone,
Smartphone reviews are more and more complete as the competition between review websites increase but there is always a test kind of missing: signal reception.
Indeed it's hard to find data about it over the net. Some phone makers are happy to communicate about some technology they develop, and some just don't.
Nowadays it seems that all that matter is photo quality, design, autonomy and the screen. At long as you got a "bar" (which doesn't mean anything as we know) consumer seems to be happy... lol.
I found some comparisons that AndroidAuthority made, but that's about it (I can't post outside links yet...):
- Xperia Z5, LG G4, Galaxy Note 5, iPhone 6S, Moto X Style ( /best-lte-xperia-z5-x-style-note-5-iphone-6s-lg-g4-648755/ )
- Galaxy S6, LG G4, Huawei P8 ( /best-4g-galaxy-s6-v-huawei-p8-v-lg-g4-612827/ )
Over here they look at signal strength (near -60dBm being perfect, and near -110dBm being call failure), network switching rate, drapped calls, etc, which give you some clues.
Snippet (can't add images yet...):

The point is to find with what phone you really have a change to get a nice signal (just to receive a call or to get stable data coming through), when some will just drop. Apparently Huawei got a little something better with their Signal + technology, when Apple seems to do good too, but the "king" Samsung seems to be quite crappy about it, even if review websites do not reflect it.
What do you think? Any trouble with your Samsung? Huawei owners do you really see a difference? (and not just about "bars" at home).
I guess it should be a good selling argument stating that your phone is having a better signal than the others (if you are traveling a lot, when hiking, during highway drive, using less battery if your antenna is less stressed, etc).

Strange signal strength icon and NO SERVCICE! Not good!

Sony z5 6653
Hello everyone. After updating to the newest Lineage I now have this symbol in my service status. The signal strength with a small x in the bottom. NOT over, but in the bottom. See attached pic. Can't find this anywhere on Sony's website OF COURSE, or anywhere on the internet. And I have no internet now since noticing this. Just regular phone service. Yes, cellular data is on. And no data . And no, there are no data limits set. They are off in fact. See attached again. And no, there are no network restrictions and yes the phone bill is paid. What is this and how do I make it go away and how do I get my data service back? All I can use right now is wifl. Hope you can see the pics below. I don't see them but says they are uploaded. The icon I am describiing is the signal strength bars and it Lte and the part that is the problem is the small x in the lower right corner . Again, the X is not above the icon but below lower right.
Any help is appriciated.

better to report it to LineageOS support.
I recommend Resetting your phone Or if you can wait for new update

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the OnePlus 5's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I live in fear that Google will pass me some #@!$%* Google Play Services, or some other update, that will tank this phone's endurance. So far, though, my OnePlus 5 has exhibited great battery performance.
This was from a few weeks ago, few hours of data surfing web at work. The rest on wifi at home, using reading mode for most if that:

Light and heavy use endurance are both awesome, even though standby drain is quite bad. Why the hell the device is kept awake for such a long time? BBS and co. don't bring light into darkness as well, nothing really special here....

Easy !
If he works, can't play with the phone. If he got kids, can't play with the phone that much.
If you make some calls per day, few SMS, some email, baterry will last for days. If you close the phone at night even more. You can reach a week. I know. I did.
