hi guys, since my wife got that FP2 half a year ago, I was jealous on her - until we moved to that new place two weeks ago. here we got very bad network connection. We got two similar simcards (same provider), but while I got enough network to recieve SMS and sometimes phonecalls with my Motorola, …

[image] Resolving bad signal / call partners don’t hear me or only interruptedly Fairphone 2 How about checking the antenna connections? … Also explained here with reference to iFixit pictures … Worked for me when my phone seemed to have worse connectivity all of a…

I have compared signal strength with other phones and never saw a significant difference. It could be a cable that’s badly attached through.

Have you checked if your and your wife’s phones use different network standards (i.e. 4G, 3G, 2G)? For the different standards there can be considerable differences in network coverage with one and the same provider.

well, the phones do support different Standards, but right now only 2G is available, so there must be the problem on my fairphone. how about the warranty when I check the antenna connection? isn’t there a tool (and app maybe?) to check network quality? cheers

You can use the GSM/CDMA/LTE section of SatStat and compare signal db info with other phones.

Are you using 2 Sims? If you do, be aware that in a Fairphone you only can set 1 sim to 3G/4G and the other sim has to be 2G. It doesn’t matter which sim gets the 3G/4G. To check which sim is set to 3G/4G: Go to Settings, Go to More Go to Mobile Networks Now you can see for each sim what the …

Thanks a lot for the answer and have been busy so have had to live with connection problems. So, I only use one sim. I have done most things except actually getting a new sim which i ordered just a few days ago. I am using Vimla in sweden which uses Telenors network. The sim and vimla worked great …

Did you check what the preferred network type is for the sim?

Does FP2 have a bad antenna?
