Bad WiFi and data signal/signal strength. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my stock nexus 6 (not rooted) I always have a poor WiFi signal. If I'm right next to the router I'm OK, but in the next room it's an extremely low signal and always slow. My data signal is always weaker as well. Whenever I'm running a custom ROM like CM 12 or even other custom stock roms my WiFi signal is very strong even further away. Its not my router because the phone does it anywhere. I'm just wondering if anyone else has these issues running completely stock or a fix or something. Thank you.

It would help a bit if you mentioned what software revision your stock ROM is. Also, is this just WiFi or are you having mobile data issues too?

It has done this on all android 5 versions. Right now I'm on the latest. LMY47l.

Also it is mostly Wi-Fi. I do notice my signal is weaker in places I usually have a strong one though.

I just got my nexus last Thursday on Verizon. Data didn't seem right to me either. Had issues activating the phone, slow page loads on both Wi-Fi and data, dropped calls. Went back to the store, they insisted on swapping sims and sending me home to try it. Waste of time. So I went back today and swapped for another phone. It seems some better, but still not right. Certainly not like my note 3 was before. And they were even known for radio issues... Mine is straight out of the box, no mods, no apps yet, no root, etc. Running 5.1, LMY47E
Sorry, no answers to offer (yet anyway). Just letting you know your not alone. I usually wait a week or so before rooting and romming a new phone to let the new wear off. In a week, if that fixes it, I'll be glad to leave a rom on it

I see that you are on Sprint. Have you tried the following?:
1) update PRL and device configuration
2) use the data dialer reset code

Thanks for the response. I have tried these.

What are those steps?
I am not on Sprint, I am using Vodafone in The Netherlands and I got this weak data connection problem.
Well, actually it is weird. Sometimes, the phone went to "G" because it cannot connect to 3G/HSDPA. But, it does this quite often in "certain places" where it's not like this when I got the it for the first time.
And some times also, when I get the phone to a place with strong signal, it has difficulty to regain 3G/HSDPA. I saw the "3G or H icon" glitching, trying to connect .... disconnect ... connect ... disconnect.
Then I must reboot the phone, after that it's normal.
Not often though.
I am running stock 5.1 (OTA updated via adb), not-rooted, but unlocked.

No, sorry. Some of those codes I linked are universal but I believe the data reset code is specifically for Sprint. Look for the AT&T specific thread in the general forum and see if there's anything mentioned there.

Losing 3G Mobile Network on certain location

Hi Experts out there,
I have been having 3G mobile network issue with CM7 base ROM. On certain location, I cannot download and make or receive calls. my 3G icon arrows show upload activities but no download happening. My ISP name (Maxis Malaysia) showing as normal. I upgraded to CM7.2, tried Kang ROM, preshoot kernel and change new SIM card but doesn't help.
Disable and Enable the 2G only a few times might resolve the problem for a while. The may come back again as long as I am still at the same locations.
Anyone has any ideas on this problem? ROM or Kernel issue? Recommendations on solutions? Thank you.

It's not the phone. It's signal coverage that you're having problem. Try another location and see if that helps.
I have been getting full bar signal strength on the icon. If connected (after a few tries of enable / dissable 2G only), the connection will be good for a while (some time quite ok for hour). The connection on 2G is 100% stable and reliable. If 3G is weak, it should automatically switch to 2G without issue right?
Thank you for the reply.

No. The problem could be with internet access of the specific UMTS base station that you're connecting to at that spot, and not with the connectivity between your phone and the tower. In any case, it's not your phone, it's the base station, and there's nothing you can do but complain to your cellular carrier.
I have checked with friends (iPhone, Android, BB,etc) surrounding me on the same location, no one is complaining the same problem. That lead me to confirm that its my N1. The worst part is I cannot make or receive calls. I have been missing many important calls...

When did you have this problem? After or before you updated to the latest version of CM7.2? If after then I suggest you do a full wipe and format system and then reflash the ROM. Or you could try to flash a standalone kernel and see if that helps.

Another option would be to flash a different radio. Try to read the radio section on Nexus One thread for more information
I just flash MIUI ROM and will put it to test tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fine. If not, will try to flash different radio. Thank you for all the replies.

Here's a couple solutions:
1) Go to settings>wireless>mobile networks >access point names. Look and see if an option called "Simple" is ticked. If it is, tick your network name instead of Simple. For example, for me, I have T-Mobile; so I have T-Mo ticked and not Simple.
2) Try flashing a new radio or ROM. I highly doubt this is your problem but it is worth a try. Try the .08 version radio or the .12, whichever you don't have.
3) Go to your carrier's store and see if you can get a replacement SIM card. I did this once and they gave me one for free. Just say you are having connection problems and you think your SIM is cutting out. My N1 once fried a SIM card. Just re-read post and seen that you did this. I would highly suggest you try my first option as I had a very similar problem and solved it that way.

SORRY IM HAPPY CAUSE THIS DOES WORK EVERYTIME DANG T-MOBILE GET AT&T TOWERS btw HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE leave me a egg
I have tried MIUI ROM and latest Radio (5.12) for passed few days. The problem still remain.
The new radio giving more stable 3G connection many locations but lost 3G connection on the previous problematic locations.
Really not sure what to do with it now. I have tried everything that is known on the web.

There's nothing you can do. It's between your phone and local base station.
You didn't listen to me earlier, I guess now you will.
It is sad that nothing can be done. The phone should at least switch to 2G when 3G is not available, but my N1 stuck there causing me loosing voice and SMS capabilities. This is fundamentally wrong on the phone.

GPS problems with lte

When I have a 4g connection my GPS doesn't work. The second it goes into 3g the GPS picks up. Pictures attached are GPS status started in 4g and right after it switched to 3g
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Wish I had a solution for you, but I've had ridiculously fast lock on times in GPS Status with both 3g and 4g. Only thing I've done is install viperROM and Wolfpack kernel. Can't remember off hand if either of those have had GPS enhancements.
Hope you find a fix.

Installed stock deox rom. Hopefully I will enter lte today to test. Was on sd 1.2
Stock rom worked.. Seems to be a problem with SD 1.2.1 ... Not sure if it effects all roms (don't have LTE at home yet so was testing it while on the road)
Total N00B Question about ViperControl
So I started the emulator and got to the menu...how do I actually access the options? I type the number and push enter but nothing happens. I'm sure it's a dumb dumb question but I'm stuck. Thanks!

Not sure if my situation is related, but on two separate occasions, I also lost GPS all together. I wasn't paying attention to 3G/4G, but like yours, it was also 0/0 satellites; however, if I were to restart the app, the satellites came back. I let my phone try to find signal for five minutes or so the first time this occurred to no avail. Could have been just fluke occurrences, but we'll see if it happens a third time.
Question: Does re-routing take a little longer than usual for anyone else? I noticed that when I made a different turn today, it took a good probably 10 seconds to re-route. Not sure if my phone is just wonky or what, but my GPS has definitely not been up to par.

Viper, been running it since 1.0.3. At the time, I believe my kernel was stock (now running Wolfpack). Haven't had to use GPS for any decently long lengths recently, so I haven't ran into any issues as of now.

Viper is working fine... It was SD that I had the problem with
I haven't had any GPS issues yet with or without 4G on either stock or Viper 1.0.4 w/ stock kernel. For the record, I have Qualcomm's IZat enabled. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Droid 4 and CM10.2 data issue

Is anyone else that's running CM10.2 on Droid 4 having data connection issues? Have you fixed them? If so, how? Does the code need to bake a while longer before data starts working?
I'm running CM 10.22010831-NIGHTLY-maserati
WIFI is working, but I can't get data to work otherwise. I did a factory reset and started fresh. I've tried flashing the ROM and gapps package multiple times. I wiped cache and Dalvik. I tried repairing permissions.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Marty

I think i need to update my baseband radio, but I can't find a more recent baseband version for the Droid 4.
I'm currently using CDMA_N_05.11.01P LTEDC_U_09.11.00.
Anyone have a link for a newer version or any idea how to get one?

Do u have the issue on stock rom slot? If so then take it back to stock with the latest utility floating around the forum. Check for system updates if there is one dl and install to make sure u have latest radio if problem persist then it's a Good possibility it's A coverage issue or hardware related problem..

Ok, here's where I'm at now.
I updated my stock rom. baseband is now at 5.25.00. Still won't work on CM10.2.
3g will work on my stock ROM, but not on CM.
I've screwed with the mobile network settings and I can't get any difference in results.
LTE works great with CM10.2, but as soon as I'm in 3g territory, I'm dead in the water. I can receive and place voice calls and I get text messages through the messaging app, but anything that requires an actual data connection, like google voice or the browser, it won't work.
Help!?
updated PRL, still no love.
In some versions i needed to add APN manually, then it would work. In earlier version i had the same problem that 3g would not work. Also problem with reception bars - it would always show like 1 bar or smth like this but would work just fine.

Set adrift without data.
Day 10: I've run out of water. The sea gulls... they mock me... with their wings... and beaks... and of course their raucous calls. They are scheming against me. My only friend is the lone shark that circles me constantly. He's attentive like that. A bit forward though. Keeps trying to kiss me. I tell him "NO KISSES FOR YOU! Not until the second date."
Also, still no data.

First off, thanks for the chuckle
Secondly, you're getting no data at all? Are you on Verizon? If so, do you have LTE in your area? My personal experience has been LTE data is working fine but 3G has been REAL spotty. I did see dhacker on twitter post a new razr build with some 3G tweaks he was testing. So that is being worked on and should filter down to us when it does get figured out.

3G was working fine on 10.1, but is nonexistent on 10.2. It actually acts like it wants to connect to a roaming tower if I switch it to GSM, but it can only see it and won't pass traffic.
I could just go back to 10.1 or run stock, but my pigheadedness, that's a word now, won't allow it.
On the brighter side, I am learning a great deal more about my phone that I had previously known.
The problem seemed to rectify itself around the nightly build on 9-15 or 9-16.
I know I'm a bit late, but I always do the * # * # 4636 # * # * in dialer and I turn off the radio, set the radio to cdma/lte and turn it back on, usually it isn't letting all those other antennas run and it seems to pick 4G LTE faster in my experience.
I think it's a CM10.2 issue...
Hi, my friend with a Galaxy S3 is having the exact same data retention issues we are having on our Droid 4's, which makes me think this is a bug in CM10.2 on various devices more than an issue with our phones. I can get LTE data when I have service, but find that once I loose service, even for a moment, the phone then never re-connects to LTE again and just sits there with white bars instead. Toggling data or airplane mode seems to usually trick it into reconnecting to LTE, but it is becoming annoying to have to constantly check and toggle around to get data back. I've tried every nightly and the M1 and have found the issue remains through the 11/19 build. I've installed the ROM into slot1, I'm not sure if overwriting the stock ROM and using the stock slot with CM10.2 helps matters at all, has anyone had any experience with using CM10.2 in the stock slot instead of Sot 1?

Slow loading times on Android 6.0

Hey guys, I had posted a while back saying that for some reason, after flashing the new build of Marshmallow to my Nexus 6, the load times for web pages and just about everything else seems to be a bit slower than usual. I had said at the end of the post that it was fixed, but now the problem is arising again. Is anyone noticing long load times with all apps that use internet? Web pages load slower, the Facebook app takes much longer to load pictures and posts, Skype took longer to login and show everyone's profile pics etc. Never had this problem before on lollipop!
EDIT: Also, when I switch between my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi bands, it shows a push notification that says that this WiFi signal has no internet access, and then it connects just fine after a few more seconds. This is odd. Maybe just a buggy first run of Marshmallow?

It's not loading really at all, but that's also due to my LTE coverage being awful in my area, that's always been bad haha so no change there. My other devices in the house are working just fine on my network, the Nexus 6 however seems to load slower, and it's only now that I'm on Android 6.0! Is it working fine for you?
EDIT: Just an update here, hours later, it may be my internet connection, possibly. But I'm not 100% sure on that either. If nobody else is having this issue, it may just be. Like I said though, it seems to be working fine with my other devices!

I'm having same issue. Dirty flash. Kinda wondering if a clean factory reset is in order.
no issues here....came from a clean flash, which is standard protocol.
M seems fast so far, but I did change my animations Scale from 1.00 to .50! The only website to load very slow is XDA... go figure!

XDA is always sloooooow, even on a fast PC.
I've seen several other people mention slow net speeds on M as well but I've not noticed it yet. The WiFi code of M caused issues awhile back on some previous builds of HellsCore kernel too. I dont know the specifics of it though.

So there was a definite change in the radio for this build then. More than a subtle change. I wonder if it's just not perfect, I realize having a Nexus means getting the first run of all Android software, but I wonder if this is a bug in the build, or a radio that could use some work. But it does sometimes take longer to load things! I'm on very fast WiFi too!
Sent from my Nexus 6
I honestly don't know and would like to hear more specifics. I can tell you I've seen comments on this board the last couple fo days talking about massive WiFi battery drain as well.
I only know HellsCore adopted the newer M code for WiFi in his kernel and people were affected. He then had to create two builds of the kernel. One with newer WiFi code that didn't cause any issues for people and another build with the older WiFi code from L. Have you checked his G+ site?

No I haven't! I'll check that out! So that leads me to believe that it was a change in the new radio! He had to change it to code used in L radio so that may be it! Thanks for the info! I'll look into that some more!
Is it possible to flash the lollipop radio to test? I'd think you could. But I'm not 100%.

Hey guys! An update here, I just read through another post that was about this same issue, and someone in there said that downloading DNset from the play store fixes this issue! It changes your WiFi settings from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4. I did it and it's working so far, but I'm going to give it some more testing and see if it fixed! Try it out

Hey dude, well honestly it didn't seem to fix it. Placebo effect lol What I think it comes down to is just Marshmallow being rough around the edges at this point because I have stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 on my Nexus 6 and have cyanogenmod 12.1 installed as a secondary ROM, When booted into cyanogenmod, pages load much faster and it's more responsive as far as I can tell! So, it must be a bug with Marshmallow! Keep in mind cyanogenmod 12.1 uses Android 5.1.1 as a base!

Marshmallow internet lag!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to go about fixing the internet lag that Marshmallow brought? Any app that uses internet seems to lag for a long time before actually beginning to load, including web pages, play store downloads, etc. I haven't been able to figure out yet how to correct that.

no internet lag here at all, on marshmallow. actually, any lag that youre having would most likely be because of your provider, and not because of marshmallow. is your apn correct?
same here. .no internet lag..
I experience the same lag, especially on the two apps he mentions. Strange because I don't see that on any of my PC's, laptops or internet TV's so I don't think it's a provider issue. I have checked my APN's and they are correctly set. It's not horrible with the browser, a five second delay before loading but sometimes the play store has to be stopped and restarted (or turn off wifi) to connect.

Same issue then! And Simms, I believe my apn is correct, it does this for me on WiFi too and same as said here in this quoted post, I don't experience this issue on any of my other devices in the house, just my Nexus! Not sure exactly what it may be. And yea, it's like a 5 second delay, but I remember how fast it used to be on lollipop, and that's a drag! Lol
No issue here either.

odd then. maybe its because of your "set up"? if you have twrp recovery, would you make a backup then try a factory reset. see if it happens from the beginning or not. you can restore your back up after.
same issue and im bone stock, If I have some time i will be trying a few different ROMs over the few days until I find "the one" so I will report back my findings. I'm on tmo and have the issue whether im on wifi, lte, H+, or H.

I have tried this and even in 100% stock. Unlocked bootloader still and same lag. Kind of seems like only Marshmallow brought this, possible in the radio file it comes with. I'm stumped about why. I'm running newest cataclysm with multirom and cm 13 on secondary. Using newest elite kernel. Multirom TWRP is my recovery. Also, it is safe to install Lollipop radio and use with Marshamllow? Can you mix radios like that? I may try that next if possible!
I don't know if this is an issue with me or chrome app. I'm on tmobile and sometimes it lags on wifi as well. Haven't tried a different browser.

Now I wonder if this is only affecting people on T-Mobile, as I am also on T-Mobile. Could it be the WiFi calling feature? I have this on because the service at my house is awful! Could be the culpit!
im on tmo and now that i flashed chroma the issue has not presented again, I will report back after more thorough testing.

The wifi calling is not on in Chroma and it does not seem to have any of the issues I was experiencing on stock so (by deductive reasoning) I am blaming the wifi calling... but why?

It could very well be the WiFi calling then! Which sucks because I pretty much rely on that at home, service is bad here. I wonder when that will be fixed!
Search Google for marshmallow data stalls. It's a very weird bug, turning your screen on and off is the only thing that helps.
I Flashed a cm13 rom and it is gone for me now. Maybe try that and see if it works for you? You could always nandroid anyways if it didn't fix it.

I have CM13 installed as a secondary rom using multirom, but haven't used it enough to really test that! I'll look into that! And so it's a known bug then, seems like some have this issue and some don't, which I find weird!

i just purchased a nexus 6 and installed marsh. i am also on TMOUS and i get slow loads on browsers and social media apps. Instagram and Facebook as well as with both Chrome and Dolphin when accesssing any webpage. ive been toggling with the APN and surprisingly turning the screen off then on shows minimal success. Page loading reminds me of when i had Nextel running 2G service; its that slow or times out.
However i do not get this on Wifi.
I had an issue similar myself. Speed via speed test were crazy slow too, even when in LTE. My fix was very simple though. I flash the factory image from Google and booted first time. Then factory data reset and flashed radio before booting, suddenly all was working again. However my issue wasn't app related but rather system wide, also WiFi was just fine. I've read somewhere that certain providers limit speeds when phone looks like it is a PC to prevent people from tethering. APNS would normally solve this issue.
If I recall correctly it was from "Sprint" and all providers using their bands.
