iphone XS having serious poor network and WIFI signal issue |
The
issue is reported with iPhone XS only as the old iPhone X was receiving full
signal at the same place whereas the new iPhone XS max is showing only 2 bar
signals. Verizon users are more affected with this bug than other network users.
Issue with 5Ghz WIFI network:
Sometimes
the signal is so weak that it is difficult for user to even browse website.
Even when users are trying ipad and ipod and mac-book right, iPhone XS max next to
WFI router, yet iphone xs max does not have full WIFI strength and is super
slow however other devise have good signal and speed. Even if it connects the iPhone
XS is not staying connected to 5GHz and failing over to 2.4GHz.
This is
very annoying as you may see dropped reception/signal now in places on iPhone
XS Max whereas no issues on the iPhone X7 and iPad etc. For some users they are
not able to connect iPhone Xs to 5gz WiFi. The iphone XS max can't even see 5GHz networks in the same room but 6S can
connect to both with full bars.
Extend of signal loss in Phone Max issue:
The
issue is reported that it may be a hardware failure and lots of video on the
youtbe are claiming radio frequency related issue in iPhone Xs Max.
Some
users reported that your hand placement can control the signal strength also
now called as "hand behind the phone" drop in speed problem
- you can literally watch the bars disappear/appear as you take your hand
on/off the back of the phone.
How to fix iPhone XS poor WIFI signal and speed:
Fix 1: Change
Router frequency
Most of
the iPhone XS Max slow WIFI speed issue is reported with WIFI routers operating
with 5GHz frequency. But if you switch
to 2.4ghz network by changing network settings of Router you will feel better WIFI
network in iPhone XS. Just a workaround.
Fix 2: reset
the network settings for better speed
Please
do a network reset (Setting->General->reset) as this will possibly
increes signal strength of you iPhone XS Max. But this will not fix the issue completely
but gives you little improvement of singal iPhone XS max.
Fix 3:
Get a replacement
If you
are in 14 days warranty period, its better to get a new iPhone than waiting for
an official fix. As apple may take 2-3 month to fix the issue. Like in case of
iPhone X with erratic signal took Apple 6 month to fix completely.
