Signal sensitivity very poor

Marco Belotti

Hello, I'm not sure whether related with the major upgrade released some days ago, but I noticed that my Nokia X20 signal reception is dramatically low. If I stay in a place with a strong network coverage, like outdoor in a typical urban environment, it works perfectly. But, if I just move a little in a place where the signal is not simply perfect, than there is no signal at all - not even to allow calls. I see the typical icon of "no signal", it doesn't matter whether I keep the network type automatic or if I force it to 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G. This happens with with both sim slots (even using one of them only - no change at all in the behavior), and with multiple operators. Of course, the same sim cards showing this issue with my X20, are working perfectly with other phones (even Nokia).

I really can't say whether this issue has been raised after the upgrade since my phone is brand new, and I used it only a few days before the upgrade. And those days I was using it at home, where the signal coverage is super great - thus I couldn't detect any anomaly.

Anyone else with the same issue? I think I'll have to return it for repair... :-(

Thanks, but I wasn't talking about Wi-Fi. As I wrote, it's the phone signal... 2G, 3G, etc. I talked with other owners of this phone model, including X10, and they all report the same issue. It seems related with the last update of December 2022. When are you going to fix it?

The last update, released a couple of weeks ago, fixed everything, including the poor signal issue (which to me was the most impactful problem, although almost nobody reported it, which is something I found unbelievable; people reported things like Bluetooth and the camera, but almost nobody cared about the poor signal problem... crazy). Now my X20 works perfectly, like before the Android 13 upgrade.
