Unstable signal reception after January patch? - Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers

Hello,
I noticed that even I should have a perfectly good signal strenght it fluctuates quite often. I can't connect to mobile data even in my usual spots. Seems to be unrelated with my internet provider, as nobody around me have any issues.
What's your experience?

Same thing. I'm losing signal for no reason whatsoever. I keep seeing 1x for a signal. I have to use Signal Spy's codes to switch to a carrier. Rebooting doesn't work. Just goes right back to 1x.
Signal Spy seems the only way to force the network to go back to something that connects.
This is only since the January update.

Hope it will be fixed in the next OTA. Anyone else with the same issues?

Which carrier do you both have? I haven't seen the issue with Verizon, but I'm curious if it's specific to a carrier or not? I know they pulled AT&T's firmware into the unlocked version of the firmware in January (Verizon specific to the 6 mm-wave is still separate).

I'm on Fi, so I'm on whatever is available and whatever the Fi network is switching to at the moment.

Ok, that is good to know. There is a free app called SignalCheck Lite that will tell you which carrier Fi is currently attached to. This will help tailor down the issue a bit. Thanks!

? Question about Verizon and data roaming

Using my N6 on Verizon, I frequently get messages that I have left my home and dont have data roaming enabled. I don't understand because my note 3 had no problem with Verizon. If I turn on data roaming for data might incur charges from some other provider? On the status bar it used to say either T-CDMA or Verizon Wireless, now it says 3100. My SIM is the same one I used in the note 3. If it matters I am using Liquid Smooth ROM and Franco r2 kernel. Voice seems to work. Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm having the same problem. I have to keep going back to stock to get LTE. I've tried liquid smooth, validus, and bliss pop and all gave me roaming and no LTE. All are their latest builds too. I've also tried popping in and out the sim card with reboots as well.

That is exactly what I am seeing. I'm on WiFi 99% of the time but when I leave the house I have no data.
Good ole Verizon making it impossible to do anything without them approving first. Its probably because Verizon doesn't want people to use the phone on their network before they release it.
They've never been good about nexus though. If you don't recall the whole galaxy nexus debacle
I had the galaxy nexus on Verizon but don't recall them interfering. I do hope that once they offer the 6 that our network access is unfettered, or the community will figure out how to make it work with custom ROMs.

Your roaming goes away? I can't run any ROM without roaming on Verizon...
I noticed this issue on CM based ROMs. Any that are stock based are not effected by this bug, for me at least. I have spent a couple of hours trying different things out that people suggest but none of them have worked. I was able to get 3G to work on liquid, but no LTE. and it reverted after a reboot. I sure hope someone can get this fixed soon.
im running cm12 on my n6 and using verizon and it works perfectly. No issues.
on Bliss Pop the Status Bar icon is NOT roaming but if you pull down and check the tiles it says roaming. I dont think its actually roaming though...LTE Discovery tells me I am still LTE and so does Network Signal Info.
So I think its just in the UI.

You think it is still on vzw when it thinks it is roaming. If I enable roaming data I won't get a huge bill from some provider?

Well, I cant swear to it for sure, but I from the apps I have I am still attached to the same cell tower, so not sure how that would equate to roaming.
LTE Discovery also shows as roaming, but all the other info also shows LTE. Same for Network Signal Info.
IANAL , but if your attached to your normal home cell towers, it would be hard for us to be roaming I would think....and hope
It may have to do with LTE vs 3G. When not on LTE it says 3100 (or 31000?) and that bus when I am "roaming". So confusing. I've gone back to stock rather than Liquid Smooth. I will try an AOSP ROM like Pure to see what happens. Although I'm not missing much on stock.

So all I can add is that I just looked at my bill which ended today. I have been using BP for the last several days at least, and I have 0 roaming charges FWIW YMMV all those caveats....I have a Nationwide Talk 450 Min plan with the standard 2gb data.
HTH, but remember I added the caveats, caveat emptor
Any update?
I have same kind of problem too. Im afraid the bill will goes up by this.
Please let us know if there is a fix for this
Yeah same problem... I don't get why some Verizon users agent having the same problem. Would unrooting and doing a factory reset maybe fix the problem? Frustrated that I can't run a custom ROM without roaming...
Go take a look at your bill/usage online and see if things are showing as roaming. like I said mine looked fine. And it seems like an issue with quite a few roms from understanding.

I just tried out Broken and it has working LTE on Verizon! I'll have to look at my bill, haven't been on a custom ROM with roaming in effect for very long though, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell very easily.
I have a Stock Rooted, Unencrypted N6, with a few custom Tweaks. On VZW have not had ANY issues whatsoever with my service or LTE. Perhaps some custom ROM/Kernels might be causing these issues?
Stock seems to not have the issue. It is said herein that AOSP based ROMs don't either but that is not true in my ecperience. LTE Discovery says 31000 is Verizon Wireless so I believe that even though it thinks it is, it isn't roaming from VZW. I enabled data roaming and switched back to Liquid Smooth and I should be alright. Thanks to everyone for the insights.

Showing "3G" instead of "H" in status bar, but still HSPA speeds

For a while now (I'm not sure exactly when it started, maybe a week ago or so) my Nexus 6 has only been showing me "3G" in the status bar. It used to show "H" most of the time.
Didn't think much about it at first, but now I was wondering because I had a Moto X (2014) before and that phone *always* showed H and practically never 3G.
So I opened the *#*#4636#*#* menu and checked under Phone Information, there it says "UMTS" under "Network type". I think it used to be "HSPA" under that item if I was connected via HSPA.
At first I thought maybe my carrier had some kind of network problem, so I did a speed test for the heck of it. The weird thing is, I'm getting speeds of 7 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up. These are HSPA speeds. So I must be connected via HSPA after all?!
It's not a problem per se since I get the speeds I want, but I'm still a little anxious something might be wrong with my Nexus 6.
Anyone know if they changed the behavior of the indicator in the status bar or something? Or is this related to some setting that I'm not aware of?
A friend of mine with a Nexus 5 on the same carrier as me is still getting the "H" in the status bar (albeit living a few hundred km away).
Nexus 6, completely stock and unrooted.
I have LTE deactivated by the way, because even though we do get LTE coverage here, my plan doesn't cover LTE speeds. If I activate LTE, the phone changes to the LTE network. 2G (EDGE) is also working and displayed correctly.
Are you on Lollipop or Marshmallow? Quick story: I only get HSPA at school and it used to say H/H+ when I was on Lollipop. After updating to 6.0 it says 3G now. If you're on Marshmallow I think it's 100% normal and nothing to worry about.

I am on Marshmallow actually. Weird thing, though, is that my friend with his Nexus 5 on Marshmallow still sees H. Maybe they changed something just on the Nexus 6, but why would they? Plus on another forum someone said they still see "H" on their Nexus 6. I don't see it at all anymore.

I still see H, but very rarely. Maybe 3G is the new H+? So it goes E, H, 3G, then LTE now instead of E, H, H+, LTE like it used to?
When it says H in the status bar, it will say HSPA in settings > about phone.
When it says 3G in status bar, it will say UMTS.
3G will download up to 7.2 Mbps.
HSPA+ will do 21 Mbps
DC-HSPA will do 42 (21 on each channel) though I don't think we support this..

I see. I thought they were just using a new symbol for HSPA/HSPA+ in Marshmallow. I never saw 3G in my status bar on Lollipop. It was always H/H+/LTE.
just read the title to your thread.. just so that you know, H, or hspa, is 3G.
and speeds of 7mb /1mb are very slow hspa speeds, but normal 3G speeds. on H, and on tmo, i can see speeds up to 21mbps. and on H+, i can see speeds up to about 42mbps.
I've noticed something similar. Almost like the signal bar and type is sticking. Putting it into airplane mode often switches it back to how it used to be.
I also find the signal bars seem to be sticking too. Where I normally get full signal it sometimes shows lower (and at multiple locations).
No idea why, only since marshmallow.

I sew 3G occasionally. It's rare because usually where there is 3G, there is HSPA.

Technically, HSPA is 3.5 G.. It's an evolution of 3G, but as per my previous post, they are indicated differently both in the status bar and about phone.
OP is not seeing HSPA of it shows UMTS in about phone.

I do know that. I'm aware of all the intricacies of these more or less arbitrary names. Though I thought non-HSPA 3G wouldn't give you more than 384 kbit/s down, while HSDPA (no +) would give you up to 7 Mbit/s. That's what wikipedia and quite a few other sources say anyway. But what Google or whatever manufacturer shows you as "3G" and "H" and "H+" could be something different entirely, so...
The question is more or less, what does stock Android mean when it says "3G" and "H" in the status bar. It used to and still seems to be 3G == UMTS and H == HSPA. So in essence, I'm wondering why my Nexus 6 is never showing me any HSPA anywhere anymore. Is it a software issue (i.e. Android not showing the correct value, or Android not making the hardware connect to HSPA), a hardware issue (broken Nexus 6) or a carrier issue. The latter seems unlikely, at least in a general sense, since my friend on the same carrier still sees "H" in the status bar.
This isn't about how fast the network is or should be, but rather just if I'm looking at a hardware fault that I should be concerned about, since it just changed all of a sudden.

I've had that too. My signal indicator stuck at 0 bars indefinitely. Anywhere I moved it kept showing 0 bars, even at places that always have good reception. But I could still make calls and use data just fine. Airplane mode fixed that for me as well when I had it.
I've been through several reboots and Airplane mode switches so far though and HSPA (or rather the "H" in the status bar) isn't coming back for me.
Check your mobile data settings to make sure you're not limiting anything and check your apn too.. It's unlikely hardware.
Speed is useful. Your speeds are much too low to be HSPA so it's indicative that you really are connecting as 3G only.
Out of curiosity, for those that are seeing 3G appear at the top, you guys on T-Mobile? I started noticing this too as of yesterday. I work in a large commercial building where I can't get LTE yet (until at least T-Mobile flips the B12 switch) and typically I get HSPA(+). I thought it was coincidence that I started seeing 3G as of yesterday as there is some tower maintenance going on (at least that's what a T-Mobile RF engineer told me)
My phone is currently on 6.0 build MRA58K.
On a side note, has anybody else noticed their signal being worse since the 6.0 OTA? I'm getting at least -10dBm worse now vs my Nexus 7 LTE (running 5.1)

I have also noticed a weaker signal and more time without signal (went from 0-2% on Lollipop to 9%+ according to the battery stats). I flashed the factory image (too impatient for OTA's). I haven't tried any of the older radios yet.

I did already check mobile data settings and switched everything around in there, but no change. APN settings too. I haven't changed anything in either of those places anyway so an issue with them seems unlikely to me.
In my case, speeds aren't really useful, because my carrier limits them softwarewise to the speeds I have (7 Mbit/s). So even if I turn on LTE (have it switched off normally) I only get 7 Mbit/s - but still the LTE signal indicator.
I doubt it's a carrier issue since my friend still sees the H, you doubt it's a phone issue, so that just leaves us with a software issue

You might want to check with T-Mobile about band12 support for the Nexus6 on Marshmallow with the stock radio. There have been reports that T-Mobile had band12 support disabled on the Nexus6 unified Marshmallow build.
Maybe they already flipped the B12 switch, and that has left you with just 3g ?

Band 12 works on Marshmallow, I noticed it the other day when I was downtown in an area that had coverage, I'm just waiting on them to flip the switch in my area.

What kind of SIM do you have band12 working on Marshmallow?
Band12 even just for data is for sure disabled under Marshmallow with a Project Fi SIM. Didn't use to be.
If band12 and T-Mobile VoLTE work with Marshmallow using a T-Mobile SIM, that is great news and I hope they will be able to get the 6p and 5x also to work on band12, and soon.
Project Fi, at least, is in a bit of a pickle over this issue, since they do not and will not use T-Mobile's proprietary VoLTE while on band12, and T-Mobile is refusing access to band12 without that certification.

I'm using a T-Mobile sim. The Nexus 6 hardware was certified to work through T-Mobile, which I'm guessing why B12, VoLTE, & WiFi calling work on this phone.
I don't know what the case is with the Nexus 5x or 6p, as those are being sold through Google only, where as you could purchase the Nexus 6 through T-Mobile.

How do you know that? Are you privy to the MVNO agreement between T-Mobile and Project Fi? That is not the same thing as TMO's certification requirement for devices using a T-Mobile SIM.
All we know with any certainty is that Band 12 data connections used to work for Project Fi users under 5.1.1, but do not work for those running Marshmallow today. We don't know why. It could be that "T-Mobile is refusing access" contractually, as you claim. Or it could be a technical issue that broke something in the new radio.
We do know that T-Mobile is refusing access to band12 data unless the device also using T-Mobile VoLTE, because that has been said both by T-Mobile and acknowledged on the Project Fi support boards.
You are technically correct though that we do not know for sure if that is why Project Fi users no longer get band12 data access with Marshmallow.
We also don't know it that is why neither the N5x nor the 6p get band12, even with a T-Mobile SIM in, yet. That might be some certification issue, despite press reports about T-Mobile requiring it's removal.
I am glad it is working on your N6 with your T-Mobile SIM in place. I hope it will work on mine with my T-Mobile prepaid SIM, too.
Some Project Fi users are claiming that as of Marshmallow, Fi should no longer claim that Fi users have the exact same coverage on the T-Mobile network as T-Mobile customers, since they don't any longer.

Signal but no bars

I am using about unlocked and rooted US Cellular phone on T-mobile. It's working and I get clear calls, but I do not get any visual "bars". It's not a major concern, but the OCD kicks in now and then... lol.
Any idea how to fix this?

US Cellular is CDMA and T-mobile is GSM. I am surprised it even works but my guess it's that your phone does not know how to read the signal and or does not have a symbol to use.
Attached is an image showing what I am describing. Also an image showing that I have it at for Global. I also tried Lte/Gsm

Cell signal keeps reverting to 3G

Hi,
So I'm having an issue keeping an LTE signal. I use straight talk with at&t and I can get LTE if I turn the radio on/off, but it will always switch itself over to 3G at some point in the same location. There are apps that can force it to do LTE only which works, but I can't make or receive voice calls over LTE.
Does anyone know how to fix this? This never happened on other phones on the same network. In my specific location I get 2-3 bars of LTE and 4 bars if switched to 3G. I guess it wants to keep using the better signal.
Also at home where I have full signal LTE and H+, it will choose H+ over LTE.
Had same problem. Switched sim slot to the other. 4g again. Try IT?
Did you try different APN settings? I'm guessing you already checked the preferred network option.

APN settings are good and I can get LTE if I flip the radio on and off...it just always wants to revert back to 3G at some point. Same thing happens in sim card slot 1 or 2

Which rom are you on? I remember there's a specific rom that has a bad modem file. Trying updating to the latest version.
Maybe you can solve it by going to APN settings and set APN protocol -> IPv4 and APN roaming protocol -> IPv4 . That worked for me. I had the same issue.
Or try IPv4/IPv6. That's network related and maybe IPv4/IPv6 is correct for you.
I have to set it every time I flash EU or EPIC rom.
Good luck.
did you ever figure this out?
I'm having a similar problem on a Note 4 Global. Only it switches to 3G for a voice call and never switches back.

I've updated it, and it's all the same. Once in a great while it will switch over to LTE on its own, but 99% of the time it will just sit on H+ forever even though I know the LTE is fine wherever I go.
I guess this is just how it's going to be.
I finally fixed this by wiping everything in twrp and flashing a newer version of the global stable rom. LTE works fine now, and it doesn't stick on H+ when I make a call anymore.

That's interesting. I guess Xiaomi fixed the bug in one of the releases. I wonder why you had to wipe everything though. What if we try to flash the latest modem. Is there a link to that? Would that work?
Would modem be the same as firmware? There's a thread on here that has those. None of them did anything for me.
My LTE problem is isn't fixed after all I guess. Once it loses LTE, it still never reconnects to it on its own and goes to H/H+ forever.
I guess the only thing that I've fixed is that it actually switches back to LTE after a phone call.

Can't add APNs - Therefore, almost no signal/service.

Hello,
I'm having a hell of a time with 90% of the day without signal or service on my XZ3.
Same SIM on my old XZ1 works fine (Sony Fan). Another SIM on XZ3 does not pick up signal either. There is some issue with XZ3.
I wanted to add more APNs, but I face this error.
https://ibb.co/3r8qb3M
Using this SIM on an XZ1, configures 3 APNs and I was able to add another one using APN type default. Signal picks up great on XZ1!
On XZ3, I only get 1 APN automatically and I'm not able to add more due to the error message.
Seems as my XZ3 has some problem with 2G/3G. The only time of the day I was able to pick up signal was 4G+.
I'm on latest firmware. Same situation happened on the previous firmware .672.
Any help?
Thanks!
This was so weird.
Downgraded to Android 9. I was able to edit and add APNs. Signal still has issues although I was getting 2G singal fine for a while.
Back to Android 10. APNs created were deleted and I can't add them back again receiving the same error. No 2G/3G.
Back to XZ1. Signal picks up by charm
How can XZ3 signal suck so much vs XZ1?

Did you do a fullwipe on the newest 10.0 stock firmware?
Yes. I tried full factory reset before downgrading to android 9 and then going back to 10.
I really don't know if APNs do the trick because XZ1 and now S10e and A30s before have great connectivity with just 1 APN.
Its the baseband. And Argentina may not have the best signal... but why XZ3 was picking 4G+ for a while and then literally dies. As if the antenna turns off and on...who knows.
Truth is. No Sony support, no way to talk with people that handles the firmware.

And what happens on a fresh fullwiped 10.0 ROM?
I sadly assume that you may have a defective hardware.
Oooor does your provider use a not supported frequency?
(But I doubt that, today 4G hardware supports almost every LTE frequency in the world.)
Fresh fully wiped experienced the same signal issue as before.
My H9436 supports all the bands the company does. Why would my old dual XZ1 would get signal so easy and the XZ3 won't? Its so frustrating...
For now I sadly think some kind of faulty hardware.
I will try again on July with June update in. I'm out of ideas.
I would love to be able to make tests to see on which bands is the signal picking up, maybe there are some which do not.
Or even more, when ot picks 4g I have over 100dbms of strength.
Thanks
