Iphone X weak signals

Thank you for that . Really helped 😀

Yes it's about time APPLE acknowledged the fact their Flagship/s are sinking fast .

I for one will be thinking hard on ANDROID next time I renew my contract with O2 .

Apple have really let themselves down badly .

Indeed that’s what I have been saying in these posts from the beginning. It’s not network settings, SIM card, internal modems, OS. I am certainly not an electrical engineer but I would think if the phone signal strength for cellular and WiFi is inadequate in known high strength areas then it’s the **** receiving antenna in the device and good luck getting that acknowledged or fixed in devices already out there

I have the same problem. My wife still has the iPhone 6 plus S. We can be standing side by side, person calling me says I am breaking up and cant hear me good, they call my wife, clear as a bell, this is an iphone X issue. Apple store replaced phone and it still does the same thing, terrible, how do I get a refund for almost 1500 dollars and go to something else, mfjdofmfhfmfkckcmfkfldjf,f

I do not think you are correct. I live in one of the largest cities in North America, Chicago and in an area void of tall buildings. I have also spent hours on the phone with ATT. They have checked maintenance and towers and signal strength. The service is not a problem. It is definitely a problem with the phone itself.

Yeah unfortunately, it’s so hard to tell. We have about 5 things to blame. Phone, iOS, antenna, cell towers, LTE bands.... but it does narrow it down a lot since I went back to my 8 and have the same issues. I’m the only one who hasn’t experienced call failure. My issue is LTE data is very very slow and weak on 150 mbps. I bought my iPhone 8 to work with me last week to test because I know it always worked perfectly, and noticed less signal than my X..... ran a speed test on the 8, 15-20 mbps.... strange. So long story short, they are both performing the same for me. Something happened from activating the X on my account. I never had a data problem before I got the X. Now all phones I tested are 80% slower. And also tried 6 new SIM cards. I’m completely lost. I can’t see the issue with the antenna because I can stay on the phone all day and never drop a call. And if there is an antenna issue, there’s no way I would get 150 mbps on a defective phone.

Same problem in Colombia. My iphone x always connect to 3G instead of LTE and the problem is that they charge me more when I'm not connected to LTE. Apple needs to do something to solve the problem. Is a very expensive phone to have this issues...

I called Apple again and went through the same checks over and over ref to my weak signal while talking. This tech finally asked me to go into settings and take my phone off LTE for talk and data and which it to just data. The phone dropped out of LTE and went to 4G and my phone calls cleared up. Apparently iPhone X has a problem with LTE, so now I get to use my new phone but not at the speed it was designed to handle.

Logre que me cambiaran el equipo en USA, pero me dieron la version A1865, llevo con el 1 semana y el problema no se me ha vuelto a presentar, al parecer el problema se debe al modem Intel que monta la version A1901.

So the issue is that the A1909 model has a modem in the ATT version of the phone that causes a significant signal drop on LTE. ATT only has this model. Verizon has the A1865 Model which is much better.

Apple will continue to Ignore this issue and give you the run around because there is no fix short of returning the phones and starting over. I have spoken with 3 Apple senior managers who have each sent me a new A1909 model, all with the same issues. They all took me through the 10 steps on their site including connecting me with ATT to check outages and low signal (in Chicago - Right!).

If you are stuck with an ATT phone the only way to boost signal is to go into settings and cellular and turn off LTE. You will notice signal strength immediately comes right back up to 4Bars. You will still have 4G just not LTE so will be a bit slower. If you can transfer to Verizon you will get the A1865 Model keep your number and the problem goes away.

Good Luck

Interesting, as I have said in previous posts I have the Verizon 1865 and the signals for both cellular and in Home airport WiFi are substantially below what I was getting with my 7+. Doesn’t matter where I go the cell signal is always weaker than what I experienced in the same locations with the previous phone. I find myself in venues where people around me are all using their phones and I can not text, call or get data.

I have to disagree. This is my 5th iPhone X. Verizon. 1865 model. Can’t even google something unless you’re on WIFI. Speeds are 80-150 mbps and cannot even stream a 20 second video. I’m going back to my 8. It’s not the tower, carrier, throttling..... bad antenna in my opinion.

I'm now on my 2nd X Handset from VF with a New SIM but issues persist, love the X but loading content is an issue at times and 4G Coverage is 50% less then a 6+ in the same location - hope Apple sorts this soon

Unfortunately I have not seen nor do expect any acknowledgment from Apple that a problem even exists with cellular and WiFi coverage with the X. We just are left to get used to the problem and stop complaining.

Worse reception I have ever seen on a iPhone and I have had them all, my wife’s reception on her iPhone 6 Plus S is perfect when I am standing next to her with my X and people can’t hear me because they say I am breaking up, Terrible and I believe Apple will never admit they did something wrong.

I have had my iPhone X since December. It is the A1901 model. Four calls to Apple Support that it just doesn't search and connect to cell signal while driving. I have to repeatedly pull over and cycle through airplane mode to get it to connect in areas that never had a problem with my 6S and other prior models. Have restored as advised by Apple from iTunes with hard drive backup, restored again from iCloud backup, replaced SIM card at AT&T. All efforts did not help. Will demand a replacement.
