Hey guys, I have a problem with my device. Whenever I do an LTE speed test using Google, it always selects servers in Antananarivo (Madagascar), even though I'm in Nairobi (Kenya). This issue does not occur when I use WiFi. I also experience a significant latency while using LTE, even though it's fast, which means that my network might be routed to another country. What could be the issue? Ookla's speed test always selects servers in Nairobi though. The issue was present even when my device was brand new. Help

5GHz Wifi N signals are "missing" on my XSP.
While at home, my old LG 4X picked up automatically three 5GHz frequencies from local hotspots using WiFi Analyzer app. The Xperia SP doesn't display any, like the 5GHz is not there at all. Tried with all the 5GHz channels turned on in the app, as well as just a few, more common of them, to no avail. Furthermore, WiFi Analyzer is missing the 5G icon on its graph screen.
I thought it was the weak signal problem on the SP so many spoke about, but I found the WiFi performs much better at the same places and circumstances than the mentioned 4X, although at 2.4GHz. I also went to a place where I previously used a 5GHz wifi, but still nothing.
The phone is on .1.254 generic UK FW.
Can anyone help me with this?
No 5Ghz
I can confirm this. I'm on 1.205 and I can't see any 5Ghz AP. The phone is advertised as dual band, even tho I don't use a dual band router this still annoys me, My old and cheap Blu Dash 4.5 gets better speed from the router (130+) compared to the SP (74). I'm happy with the XP but these WiFi issues are really annoying.
For a fix, my uninformed opinion is, this should be addressed on the kernel or driver level, the chipset has the dual band hardware but something is missing between the hardware and our stock FWs.
Received my Nexus 6 yesterday and believe I have a faulty device. I have searched all over the web and here on XDA and nobody is reporting the exact issue that I am seeing. While others have complained of issues having the device connect to the Wifi, that is NOT my problem. I can connect fine and have full Wifi bars along with a strong (702Mbps - 5GHZ) link speed. Loading of web pages however slows to a crawl and browsing the Play Store is like looking at dial up. No other devices on my network are experiencing this issue. The weird thing is that Speed tests run through the OOKLA app show the same blistering speeds as I receive on my desktop but when I try to run speed tests from various browser based testing sites they are way Sloooow. OOKLA reports a higher than normal PING however and I believe that is where the problem my lie. My LTE data speeds are WAY faster than WiFi and are actually quite impressive I might add.
I unlocked and Rooted right out of the box but have since performed a factory reset (Flashed Stock Images) and have also tried a different Access Point. I have also tried forcing 2.4GHZ and changing WiFi channels. Nothing helps and I think I may need to RMA this thing.
To better explain what I am seeing it is as if the device is "choking". The load bar moves quick, then stops completely, then moves quick again and web images populate real slow. It's unbearable and definitely undesirable. I may try flashing a different ROM tomorrow but wanted to get this out there to see if I am alone.
Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.
TIA
Today, received my phone and first thing I noticed was poor WiFi speed and upon further looking I saw poor link speed on 2.4Ghz connection and my other devices including redmi note 4(mido) and redmi 4(santoni) all had link speeds of 150Mb/s up and down while mi A2 was at 65Mb/s up and down even if I kept the phone next to router. None of my devices suffer the issue. Is the issue specific to my device or anyone else facing same? Should I return phone cause I still can. Also if anyone facing same issue can you try to see if issue exist in GSI roms as well? P.S. I am on September security patch.
Did you tried 5 ghz band?
That's what I get with the 5GHz networks. With 2.4GHz I get around 2-3 Mbps up and down. Just aweful.
The speeds are ok with me its just the range that sucks even with a case on. i had to take off the case to get that bit of extra range. They have to patch this or fix somehow cause my Moto G5Plus has waaay better range than this.

Yes, I have this issue. On 2.4GHZ network the fastest Link speed on Mi A2 is locked at 72mpbs and this was the case with Mi A1 also. But on the 5GHZ network it get higher Link speed but the stability is so bad.
I am sending a feedback via the feedback app after every update so they unlock the link speed but still nothing happened.
Just checked my 2.4GHz connection. I got the highest speed since I've bought the phone at a whopping 15Mbps on a 200Mbps network. That said, I can barely connect to the 2.4 GHz network since it just keeps dropping it. On the other hand, the 5GHz one went down to 50Mbps max... It's not exactly a deal breaker for me since I can still do everything I need on the 5 GHz network, but I'm curious what can be done about it.
Hello and sorry for my bad english. I always have Wi-Fi issues with my mi a2. ROM stock, gsi....
I heve already converted it to mi 6x and always same issues ( gsi, miui 10)....
It seems my wifi got better with that new kernel no more Disconnects.
Looks like the same issue with the A1.

Return the phone and buy other, maybe poco
The reception is bad, the speed are ok. My 5 old year Galaxy S4 have better range.
I have poor speed in 2,4 and 5gh.
And serious disconnecting problems in 5gh. I finished by don't use it as all...
Perfect with redmi note 7 and redmi note 8t.
Which custom rom have best and most stable wifi?
Hi,
Today i got global version of honor play cor-l29. The only problem is that internet connection through LTE is very slow - about 0,1-0,5 mb/s. I've never had any problems with LTE connection here on any mobile, so its weird.
Is there something i should do to configure my phone's network ?
Range isn't too good also, but internet speed is the biggest problem. It seems like my phone connects to wrong servers
As you said Range ain't good too, maybe Carrier Problem?

Hello guys,
Ive bought Xiaomi mi A2 few days back. Despite overal satisfaction with phone I am deeply frustrated with network.
Sometimes when phone is locked for X ammount of time, when I unlock it I see no wifi or no network signal.
My wifi works worse than my mobile data, which do most of work. If i move like 5 meters from router I almost don't get signal at all.
My internet is optic one, and all other phones when being connected on my home net work almost perfect, pages load instantly.
But with mi A2 lets say, at best it is frustration. Wifi randomly connect, disconnect and much more.
I have reseted it to fabric data, I have reseted network options, I have turned off batery saver option.
I updated system to lastest version. Nothing help.
Even after returning phone to fabric state, I had to download updates for 5 hours. Can someone explain me where I should bring logs (maybe I can do it here, and to check if those are software or hardware problems?)
Thank you,
Boris
