WiFi Signal Strength issues - Urgent help needed - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have just purchased a Moto X 2014 (XT1092) from Flipkart. I live in india. Every since I have bought the phone I have noticed that the WiFi strength is far weaker than some of my other phones like Moto G 2014 from Motorola. I find the WiFi signal strength to be about 10 dBm weaker than my Moto G on the same network, same band (2.4 GHz) and the same exact location. The signal sometimes fluctuates. Since the phone is new, I have tried to test the signal on 4.4.4, 5.0 and 5.1; all with the same results.
Can somebody confirm that the problem is with my handset, or is the problem widespread? Use a utility like WiFiAnalyzer from the Play Store to measure. I can get a replacement if my device is faulty. Also, I ordered the device on 3rd July, 2015; while it is marked to be imported in September, 2014; which seems like a far old handset for a hot-selling device. Please do help me urgently because the replacement decision is to be made soon.
Thanks.

Signal Reception, Moto or HTC One

im on my second htc one. reception is horrible, it wont stay on 4g, and barely has any signal on 3g. internet doesnt work most times i need it. are the moto phones better at receiving signal. im thinking of a moto x or a maxx. my time is almost up to exchange phone

I had the One, and while I didn't have any issues with reception per se, I can tell you that the Moto X is hands down the most bulletproof phone I've owned in the reception department.
There's no real contest between HTC & Motorola radios (I have both) -- Motorola wins every time.

Agreed, I have both and the X beats it easily.
My Moto X loses LTE a lot more than my GPe One.
I have had every Android phone to date and can safely say this Moto X and other Motorola phones have always had the best reception / RF quality

thanks guys, i made the switch from htc one to moto maxx. and this phone is great. it has not left 4g since i got it 2 days ago. simply awesome and the huge battery is a bonus
Verizon one is terrible.. I have a network extender and it had a heck of a time changing between the terrible signal in my area and the extender. X is great... Best signal I've had yet.
My Moto X is the only phone that gets LTE where I work. Better reception then S3, N4. But best reception I've ever had was on my s2 I9100 (non LTE). That's the only phone that ever got signal on the subway in Toronto. I've had full phone conversations on the subway.

I had the One X & Atrix HD @ the same time. My Atrix HD always got the best reception whereas the One X struggle to pull the signal. I imagine its the same if not better with the Moto X.
We were out of town recently. My wife's Moto X had a signal strength of 23 ASUs. My HTC One X was 5 and I had only 4G whereas she had LTE.

I had a Nexus 4 before getting my Moto X(XT1053) and the reception is noticeably better and the internet is more reliable when it's on LTE vs HSPA+. I'm on AT&T's GoPhone plan with my unlocked Moto X., and I live in an area with marginal coverage for most carriers. Anyway my Moto X and my Mom's Moto G LTE get great signal most of the time; I can't comment on the HTC One as I don't know of anyone who has one.

[Q] Poor reception on moto x?

After 9 painful months of using an HTC 8X windows phone (the pain was in the OS, not the phone) I was ready to get a new android phone. Finally there were new releases and picked up a moto x. While I like the phone and availability of apps I was missing, the signal quality is no where near that of the HTC 8X. This is both in phone call quality and 4G data reception.
So, has anyone else noticed this, or experiencing similar symptoms?

My reception has been better on this phone than all of my previous ones. That includes literally every flagship that Sprint and AT&T have had since the HTC Hero. Motorola is famous for their radio quality. Not sure what's going on in your case but I know the vast majority of Moto X owners are quite pleased with it in this regard.

I have a Verizon Moto X and while in use, the reception is fine, I'm wondering how they decide to show their bars. I've NEVER seen this thing have a full 5 bars. I can be 3 feet from my network extender, and its 2 bars. It works fine, voice is clear, LTE with 3-4 bars is in the 30mbit range, but it has never hit 5 bars.

Data reception of Pure Edition on AT&T

If you have a Pure Edition on AT&T how is your data reception? Is your LTE better or worse? Do you have a harder time holding onto LTE and you are dropping down to +HSPA more often? Is your dBM lower on the Pure Edition? Or do you find the Pure Edition to have great reception?
I have not noticed any worse reception with LTE on my Pure Edition, coming from a Developer Edition Gen 1 Moto X. As far as I can tell my data connection is fine... and might actually be a little faster. But that could just be the faster device itself.
This is, of course, after I called AT&T to actually get access to the LTE network - at first I was stuck on HSPA and couldn't get any data, including Snapchat downloads. That took about 45 minutes online with a rep to give them my IMEI (I think that's all they needed) but it was completely painless and they might have fixed that issue already. The only reason I knew about it was due to a thread I saw either here or on reddit, but thankfully I saw that before I realized my data wasn't working.
Coming from a Nexus 5, my LTE reception is waaaay better. As much as I love the N5, its radios are definitely not one of its better qualities. Motorola is known for having among the best radios in the business, and of all the devices I've owned, both Moto X's have had the best reception.
Thanks. I bought a pure edition through swappa. I has always had great luck with Motorola and reception. I was just nervous because the Nexus 5 had terrible data reception for me and even the GPE HTC One was sub par compared to the AT&T version.
Reception has been great. Best of any phone I have ever owned.
I love the LTE reception on AT&T compared to my Nexus 5. I did notice today when i went to an area with crappy signal my phone didnt have any data. It kept showing LTE bars but i wasnt able to load any sites. I then had to force it to use 3G to get any data connection.
Anyone have similar issues?
I ordered a Pure Edition due to the Cyber Monday Sale and the fact that I have been reading a lot about the Engineering Motorola put into the radios in this device.
To prevent this becoming a primer on Antenna tuning and Impedance, suffice it to say Motorola developed their own custom antennae tuner for the Moto X, electing to not go with the Qualcomm offering. The take away here is that this special antennae tuner is capable of actually detecting capacitance changes at the antenna and adjusting the impedance accordingly.
So, one of my biggest reasons for moving from the Nexus 5 to the Moto X 2014 Pure Edition was the antennae which should give me (in theory) far better reception than my Nexus 5.
I am glad to see from other posters that it may in reality give me better reception on at&t, not just theory.

[Q] T-Mobile signal quality

I'm curious to know if anyone on T-Mobile has any sort of signal issue.
The unit I have in hand has little to no signal at all. I've put it side by side every other phone in the store and the other phones [literally every phone on display at the local store] and the Nexus 6 only gets roughly 2 bars of LTE.
Myself as well as the store employee have gone over the mobile settings [same as my Note 4] and same as all other display phones and the signal quality is horrible on the N6.
The store rep swapped SIMs and rebooted several times with no change.
I'm very curious to see what feedback gets left here on this. I was planning on getting rid of my Note 4 for the N6 but not if the signal is horrible.
Comments/observations....

Not to say that there is nothing going on, but graphical display of bars means very little to actual signal strength. At bare minimum run some speed test checks on all three devices in the same spot.

Hey thanks for the reply. I also did a side by side with my Nexus 5 bone stock and shows the same thing. Very weak signal.
I know that AOSP shows true signal and no 'signal boosting' like Sense and TW, But my N5 is showing 5 bars of LTE next to the N6. A few others have responded to me on G+ that they are in fact seeing the same weak signal.
Stock firmware on T-Mobile branded devices tells the bars to report based on the 2G radio strength.
Whereas on stock Android 5.0, the bars report based on the best technology you're connected to (LTE, for instance)
This makes TMo look good essentially in the eyes of the average consumer.
If you go to Settings, you'll find the Nexus 6 will have the same LTE signal strength as the other phones.
Simply put, signal quality is just fine. All bars aren't created equal.
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------
Since the Nexus 5 was sold by T-Mobile, it was smart enough to switch bar algorithms when it connected to a T-Mobile APN.
The Nexus 5 with Lollipop and the Nexus 6 do not seem to do this anymore. Maybe it will change with the wi-fi calling update.

Thanks for the great reply. My Nexus 5 is running 5.0. I also have a Note 4 but that's not included because of the signal algorithm used on that device. Just don;t know why my N5 shows full LTE but the N6 shows roughly 2 bars sitting side by side.
Try these:
1) Go to Testing menu
- Go to Phone Dialer
- Input *#*#4636*#*#
2) Go to Phone Information
3) Scroll down and make sure it says LTE/GSM auto (PRL)

Yup, confirmed when at the store. Not there now so I can't run anymore side by sides or tests.
A greater comparison would be showing the actual dbm meter in the settings menu for all devices. We all know different manufactures display bars as they which.
In comparing the N6 to my N5 the dbm is consistently better on the N6 and it stays connected to LTE vs dropping to HSPA/UMTS like the N5 does. SO far
Signal check app will tell db of signal all connections. ....or you can find the same info in settings
I confirm this, but only with anecdotal evidence.
I just recently switched to T-Mobile after using their Test Drive. The iPhone 5s that I originally had, couldn't get LTE signal very well or at all at my desk at work. I switched to a Moto G LTE before my Test Drive was over, and the signal was drastically better. No issues with the G in handling streaming music.
Today is my first day with my N6 at work, and signal reception is similar to the iPhone 5s. I have to turn off LTE because reception is so low that I can't even stream Spotify or Play Music. I just hope band 12 rolls out soon...

I can vouch for the area I live in that the N6 works perfectly. At first, my friend had issues on his Tmobile network, and he couldnt find out why. In fact it was so bad that he couldnt even connect to the network. He took his phone to me, I took out the sim, blew on it, restarted his phone. Then we stared in awe as the bars quickly filled on up.
Experience with my Nexus 6 so far is mostly the same.
Maybe 2 or 3 dBm weaker than my Nexus 5 with Lollipop was.

Totally agree with @mb3030
If you want to see your signal strength in dBm (Decibel milliwatts) or asu (arbitrary strength unit), go to Settings>About Phone>Status.
ICYDK, a dBm value closer to 0 is better, so check your signal in different environments.
In my house I'm at -95 dBm/45 asu. Outside I'm at -86/54.

Speedtest what about three bars. Excuse the blurry picture it was taken with a nexus 7 lol
Like many have said, graphical interpretation is independent on each phone. A 1 bar on one phone might equal to 3 bar on a different phone from a different manufacturer. Best way to check signal strength is through dBm/asu value and speed test.
T-Mobile user in metro area.
Today was the first time I took my N6 out of house. One of the first things I noticed was signal strength (bar) was lower than my N5 running 5.0 in the same places around my neighborhood.
I did a couple speed tests and yep, was getting much slower results than the N5 in the same areas a few days ago.
Another odd thing was the fact I had a Moto X (2014) a month ago and sent it back in anticipation of the N6. Its signal strength was fantastic (better than the N5).
Very confused as to why a phone that is based off the Moto X seems to have a much harder time with signal strength. I am going to mess with it some more but so far I am disappointed with the signal strength compared to the N5.
Another note. The update that was sent OTA this week seemed to have a flash for the radios. Not sure that has anything to do with anything but throwing it out there.
I can tell you there is something wonky with this phone.
I live in NYC, where Wideband 15x15 LTE is deployed. On my Nexus 5, I was pulling over 40-50mbps down, with full signal strength (as should be with all of the coverage in NYC).
Now on the Nexus 6, the signal strength shows like 25%, and my download speeds are only 20-25mbps. Those speeds are still definitely fine for my needs (Plex, Pandora, and browsing/emails), but there is definitely something going on with this new phone.
Here's mine from here in Las Vegas
It's not like the radio is tweaked for tmos network.... It's the same radio in all 4 variants on the carriers. Give it time. Updates to the baseband will help. My n5 used to lose signal completely all the time. Drove me nuts. I haven't had one issue yet and I actual have a data connection in the building I work in with my 6

Motorola One Power Cellular Signal Strength Issues

Motorola One Power ...
Compared to Any Other handset, In same Location, (Inch by Inch close), in Same Real time, in the Same Network Sim (JIO), The Signal Losses are coming out a Bit High..
I have a slightly decent JIO network in my area (Airtel and Vodafone don't work ).
INDOORS --- I am getting -105dbm -112 dbm On My Motorola One Power whereas all other Phones On Same Network in same Place are giving -90dbm to -95 dbm ..( In Realtime)
OUTDOORS-- Motorola One Power is giving -92dbm to -97 dbm / Other Phones* are giving - 77 to -82 dbm
Please Note that these Figures are for COMPARISON of Signal Handling of Motorola One Power (My Piece) Compared to the Other Handsets we have in the family, and Not a Network Related Issue.
( I repeat, These figures are Compared hand to hand at same place, inches apart, on Vivo V9 / OnePlus5 / MotoX4 Compared to Motorola One Power)
The Stock Settings Location as well as a few apps were used to check out the signal strength.
This is the First Time I have faced Network issues with any Motorola Phone...
(Bought this phone three days ago)
The Check would not have been made, had a few people whom I called up in thel Last two days not complained to me of voice Crackling / Cracking up and Adviced me to move outdoors during the calls.
I have earlier used all these models from *Motorola:
Moto Charm, Moto XT910, Almost All G Series Phones , X Series ( Even E5 ) and My Last phones were MotoX-Play, MotoG6 Play and Moto X4 .....
PLEASE NOTE: ( Added and Edited on 24th Oct 2018 )
After the Replacement of the Handset, Network Issue has been Totally Resolved.
I am more than Happy with the MotoOne Power as it is having the Same Signal Strength as 2-3 Flagship Models (mentioned in comments below)

Maybe a faulty unit? I get low signal strength at my home but the network connectivity is consistent. The last phone I owned was a Moto X play on Airtel network and people used to complain they couldn't hear me during calls, after I switched to chef, no complaints yet. LTE-A works well and speed & latency is good enough.

I have put in a complaint. They (Flipkart Online Marketplace) , and Not Motorola, actually sent an engineer for inspection..
( Some Engineering !! It was... )
It was more like comparing 4-5 devices in my home for Signal Strength at the same place , same network, same real time.
MotoOne Power was kind of Lowest (In case of My Handset)
But it was kind of nice of him to immediately mark my Device for Replacement. :angel:
I just hope that the whole Lot doesn't have faulty antennas as it was in the case of (perhaps) Moto E power a year back...
I hope to get replacement in a week :fingers-crossed:

I have been a Moto-X Play Fan as well.... and after that I went for a Moto-X4
Both devices had consistent Signal .. On Jio.

Since I use only Wifi at Home, that didn't bother me...
But at 1-2 spots at home ... (we all have those favorite comfort zones..) People complained that my voice was cracking up, and this had occurred the moment I switched over to MotoOne Power.. ...The Last two days...
Hence I started comparing the Signal Loss between Just our own Phones.
On Comparing this with the Other Devices we had at home ( on the same Jio Network) I observed that at -100 dbm to -115 dbm The voice clarity isn't too good.
And Not just Indoors....
In my Balcony (Outdoors) My MotoOne had -92 Dbm -97 Dbm And Other handsets had -77 to -82 Dbm
So why should this Midrange phone suffer from This issue.... ?
Unless there is some manufacturing defect with my piece..
Hence, opted for replacement.
If the problem is there in the replacement as well; I can't wait for a VoLTE update or anything else, because If this isn't a software issue, it could be an Antenna issue with all sets, and on delaying it, My handset won't get replaced.
Flipkart Sent me a replacement. This time the network strength was the same as the previous set, but yes, the volume rocker button was kind of flush fit with the side panel... One had to use the nails in place of fingers to adjust the volume
I am facing same network issue on my Moto one power
I faced the same issue in my Moto one power wherein I compared it with other devices with Jio network and Vodafone network and the network signal was hovering between -99 till -117dbm.
Also I get one or two towers less compared to Redmi note 4 and mi A1 on same Jio network. Even your new handset have the same problem or is it fixed now ? Hope flipkart has a return policy.
Due to the signal loss problem, bbattry is draining very fastly. Are you facing same challenge?
I will call the flipkart customer care tomorrow regarding the same.

Maybe the one power is only picking up a band with weaker signal coverage? since networks use multiple bands for aggregation maybe the one power doesn't support the better bands in your area as the other phones you have. Not sure
Hello All...
Received my Handset Replacement. There is NO Network issue in this particular handset.
In fact the GSM Signal is stronger than the GSM signal strength compared to Vivo V9, Samsung Galaxy 7 edge, OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6.
The Jio VoLTE signal is also at par with all the above handsets...
I am fully satisfied with the performance of the Set .

I am on Jio ( VoLTE) New Delhi ....
And all readings / or any Reading of Signal loss in DBM doesn't matter as in a radius of 400 meters around my home the Network strength (from Same Cell ID or not....) Varies between -69 dBM to -112 dBM
But then This never was the Issue..
The Earlier Handset Always had almost 10% Difference ( Low signal) when compared with the OTHER handsets I had in my home....
After the replacement, The Signal strength is the SAME.... On all my Four handsets ... (Three of them Flagship Models)
Namely OnePlus6, OnePlus5, Samsung Galaxy 7 edge ... and One Non Flagship Vivo V9, which has the best signal strength of them all....
MotorolaOne Power has NO ISSUES related to signal strength at all.
So I guess it was a Piece related problem...that's been resolved by Replacement from Flipkart.

The Timeline of My MotoOne Handsets is as such:
Set No. 1 - Ordered in Flash Sale on 4th Oct- Delivered but Had a Network Issue....
Set No. 2 - Got a Replacement of the same after a week -- Network issue Resolved.
[ But this one had a Volume Rocker Issue... It was Pushed inside the Frame]
I requested for Replacement. They sent me a Refund.
Set No. 3 - Order No. 3 Placed again in the Next Sale on the 19th Oct.
This is working perfectly all right .. Just like Any of the Past 12-15 Motorola Handsets I have used in the Past.

Set No. 1 - Ordered in Flash Sale on 4th Oct- Delivered but Had a Network Issue....
Set No. 2 - Got a Replacement of the same after a week -- Network issue Resolved.
[ But this one had a Volume Rocker Issue... It was Pushed inside the Frame]
I requested for Replacement. They sent me a Refund.
Set No. 3 - Order No. 3 Placed again in the Next Sale on the 19th Oct.
This is working perfectly all right .. Just like Any of the Past 12-15 Motorola Handsets I have used in the Past.
