Xperia Z (c6602) Bell H+/H Network Unstable - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
Well, here is my issue for my Sony Xperia Z c6602 which is bought in Taiwan.
My mobile data is always on since I have 6GB of data, and I am with Bell Mobility at the moment.
Whenever I tried to use internet on my phone, the H+ just keep on switching to H and then back to H+ and sometimes the "up" and "down" arrows won't even show, which means signals are not being transfered.
(Basically when I try to load a web page sometimes, i will have to wait for like 2 mins to 3 mins when it actually only needs 2 seconds, but since the network is unstable, data are not being transfered)
Which leads to unstable H+/H network
My APN setting:
APN: pda.bell.ca
Please help!! Thank you...

Switching between h and h+ is normal. I wouldn't consider that as unstable. I had c6602 on fido and it switches between 3g and h+.
As for you loading for like 2-3 mins that is wrong or you just are at a really bad reception place.
Do some speed test with the speed test app in Google play. Average download speed should be around 3-9mbps down.
Check your apn settings again make sure you are using the most updated one. Google bells apn settings and find the correct and updated one.

Latest Build Number

Hello Legend users. I'm posting here on behalf of a friend who has had his Legend for about a month. He has been having connection issues. Most specifically his 3g drops all the time, or rather it switches from 3g to H in the status bar whenever he opens his browser. Ive tried adjusting his apn settings (Bell Mobility) which didnt work. I searched on the web and found some info referring to connection problems with early build numbers. Given that we are in Canada it wouldnt surprise me if he was on the earliest build number out there. His current is 2.02.666.3 (CL177708). And i guess the question i have for all of you is whether anyone else here has had similar issues?
Any help is appreciated

It says 3g and shows H when downloading.
3g is just the name of the network type. H stands for HDSPA and is the "speed".
So its normal to show H when on 3g. If it shows E (edge) or G (gprs) then it means 2g speeds, that is G is extremely slow en E is a bit faster but H is 7.2mbps (depending on network, might just be 3.6 if you dont have turbo 3g).
i don't think legend has 3g issues. i've been using legend from the build # 1.31, 1.32, 2.03,2.05, and 2.06. never really had an issue with 3g(i live in Korea and using KT). But i do have problem with wifi connection. it does connect to my wifi router and indicate that it is connected, but i always loose connection. i have another 4g hotspot router that is secure connection with password, that one connects find but still sometimes drops connection. don't know if this is related to the problems of aluminum case issues....but still......wifi connection is not acceptable.
K i feel stupid. Guess i should have read his manual over. Cant guess why his web pages wont load then? Super slow and then times out..... consistently. Ill play with it some more tonight.

[Q] Xperia TL LTE loss of data

I commute about 30 miles to work from an area with "4G" HSPA+ to an area with 4G LTE, on the way home, going from LTE to HSPA+, my Xperia loses data connection for at close to 10 miles, in an area that should still have LTE. I've also noticed drops of data in areas of the city which are covered by LTE as well.
Problem is, I have to wait and turn the radio on/off for it to get a data connection again (by the time it connects on the way home I'm in an HSPA+ only zone). Do any other TL owners experience these data dead zones on LTE, where there should be something, even if it's HSPA+/EDGE, but the phone won't connect to it?
There also doesn't seem to be any way to disable LTE on the Xperia TL, or I would try that.
I have not experienced any data drops out of the ordinary low signal areas. I live in a rural area so these are expected. I have streamed NBA games while riding in a car with just these normal disruptions. You can disable LTE by flashing a Xperia T firmware and including the baseband. T doesn't support LTE.

You can disable it quite easily.
In your dialer type: *#*#4636#*#* (*#*# info#*#*)
Choose phone information, and there is an option to choose which radios you would like to use.

Mobile data issue

Hi, I'm having some problems with my mobile data connection. I live in Brazil, and I'm always traveling between two cities.In one of them I always have the signal of a 3G+ network. everything works normally.
but the city number 2, I only get the signal H / H +, and with this signal I can't get network access.
PS: in the city number 1 I also have the same problem when I receive signals H / H +
This problem persists independently of the flashed ROM.
Sorry for the possible errors in the translation.
ops... I think I created the topic in the wrong area, sorry.
Its because in city 2 the network isn't enough covered.
Are you the only one with this issue?

same
Im from the UK and got the same problem. Im on h/h+ mostly. I am working in a metal box warehouse that blocks all signal nicely, so if mobile data enabled the data connection drops or changes to hspda or gprs. I know certain points where the signal is fine so theoretically the connection should b restored automatically, but it wont. If I scan for network provider and register on 3g network of giffgaff it working immediately. It seems the phone drops the previous tower and connects to another which has no 3g capable signal, but in network setting the preferred is lte, so I guess the phone should find the best available data network. Sometimes the only way to go online again is restarting phone cuz there is no data connection at all. Weird.

[Q] Possible Network Connectivity Issues?

Hey guys! I just switched yesterday from bell to Fido in an attempt to attain data for cheaper. At first I couldn't connect to data and I had to manually install the APNs for Fido internet but now randomly I'll just have no signal for 30ish seconds. It comes back and is 4 bars like before. I'm on the same phone as on bell. Xperia Z1 c6906 and I unlocked it off of bell and switched to Fido. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Also I know its not the area I'm in because it worked fine before enabling data.
Thanks
When that happens what simbol does phone gives next to signal bar. (e,h,3G,4G)

No signal whatsoever ever. Empty data bars and a red x
I think Fido and Bell are using different network band and they selling their own locked device. Try to check your device to see if the device is support that carrier band. If yesy then maybe it's something wrong in your phone. Try to reflash full FTF to see if it software problem...
I'm not sure what FTF means but I'm going to read root it this morning so I can actually access recovery. I checked my APN and it still just drops the signal every 15 mins or so and comes back like 15 seconds later..
Also is there any option to flash a radio like with Samsung?

Signal

Does anyone have any suggested paths to get better reception out of this phone? It is so bad and sporadic constantly toggling between 2/3/4g, signal up and down, etc. I've tried multiple different firmwares

No idea. For me it's actually better than the note 3, s3 and s1.

Also better for me, coming from an HTC One S. Sorry...
Crack the back glass it will let more signal through

signal works fine for me too.
The signal's same or better than my Nexus 4 on 3G. I usually keep LTE turned off because that signal in my area is pretty weak and I'm usually using WiFi anyway. Plus, a weak LTE signal (or switching back and forth from 3G to 4G) is a battery drainer.
in my case, Z3C has weak signal reception than Z1C on CM11 :/ in my sister house i had weak but i had signal, i loose signal sometimes in pocket, but everywhere else outside of pocket signal was OK on the Z1C CM11 but on stock firmware Z3C there is no signal all the time i had to go outside home and search for network manually... i`m using only 2G mode to save battery
Did anyone notice in the settings (access point names), there is att phone and sony gprs. The sony gprs is selected by default and there is nothing in the settings (only mcc and mnc). When you select att phone, the phone doesn't work. Could this have something to do with it?

i think it's just with your phone since you're using it on ATT. try entering ATT's APN settings. I'm using it on tmobile and signal is fine and it only shows one APN for me. I don't have that sony one you're talking about.
