Why is the cell phone signal poor?

Many factors affect the cell phone signal, such as the location of the base station, weather changes, human influence, and the cell phone itself. This article mainly analyzes the following four aspects:

 

  Base station location

 

The base station is a signal tower, and the distance of the tower determines the strength of your cell phone signal. The phone will automatically help you contact the nearest base station tower with the best signal. However, if you are at the intersection of two base station towers, the phone will keep switching between the two towers, resulting in a poor signal. At this point, we recommend that you turn on your cellular mobile network and switch your 5G network to a 4G network because the 4G signal will be more stable compared to 5G.

 

  Weather variations

 

Even home broadband might be affected by weather conditions like snow, smog, and torrential rain. Generally speaking, the worse the weather is, the slower the phone's Internet access and the lower the call quality will be. To discover a solid signal source more quickly once the signal is shut off once more, you can try switching to flight mode first and then switching back.

 

  Artificial influence

 

People typically use it directly by cutting the little phone card once the cell phone card grows into a Nano-SIM card. As a result, the stability is different when compared to a conventional little card, and the act of cutting the broken card will also affect the cell phone signal. So you can go to the business office and receive a new card, as well as restore the network settings. Furthermore, many customers prefer to protect their phones with a metal cover. However, because metal has a shielding effect on the signal, it is best to use a thin and light phone case.

 

  The phone itself

 

The signal is also particularly poor for those who use the iPhone XR and iPhone XS Max. This has something to do with the dual-card standby introduced by Apple. In the case of using dual cards, or rather, two cell phone cards from the same operator, there may be a particularly poor signal problem. If only one cell phone card is installed, the signal can be significantly improved.

 

  In addition, we can also check the actual cell phone signal through the real-time network speed of the phone. iPhones that are not jailbroken need to be viewed with the help of a third-party app, "N Stats."

 

  Step 1: We look for the app ("N Stats") in the App Store, download it, and install it.

 

Step 2: Pull down the notification bar, swipe right to the plug-in bar, and click Edit at the bottom.

 

Step 3: Click the green plus sign next to N Stats to add the plugin to the notification center.

 

Step 4: Go back to the notification center, and you will be able to see the memory space, hard disk space, and real-time internet speed.

 

  The Android phone has this capability; we can search for real-time internet speed in the main screen's search box, touch it, and slide right to open it, and you can see the real-time internet speed on the phone's top. Additionally, opening the window, updating the phone system, and moving to a more open location can all help boost the phone signal. If none of the aforementioned ways work, rule out phone hardware damage; in this case, it is advisable to go to the aftermarket for testing.
