Anyone experiencing weaker or no LTE connection with the Windows 8.1 update? I have the 1520.3 RM-380 version and had great LTE prior to the update.
My 1520 is experiencing this too. I'm a bit curious though.
It might not actually be that the phone itself is receiving a weak signal, it could just be that the algorihtm that the phone uses to show what signal strength is being received is defective or changed.
I.e, if the phone before 8.1 showed 4 bars it actually was only 3.5 (I am unsure as to whether the phone rounds it up or down).
I might be completely wrong but if I recall correctly a similar change was made to an iOS update some years ago.
Is there a way to change the bars to actual dB value in Windows Phone?
Try to reboot your WP by pressing volume up button and power button simultaneously for about 15 seconds. ( stop pressing when a black screen appear. )
Yes it first take a screenshot but then if you continue pressing it will reboot your phoneDo you mean a soft reset? I think that's power DOWN button and power button simultaneously. Volume UP and power button takes screenshot snapshots. I have tried soft resetting multiple times. Doesn't help. I even tried a hard reset and it didn't help.
I have a 925.. and all my signals are weak.. Wifi at home and work plus 3g data connection.. im hoping this is temporary

NateW - definitely interested regarding the promise of 21 bands (especially the LTE variety), and even more so if the phone you're using is an RM-938 (1502.3 variant), given online searches for a way to invoke Field Test mode on that specific phone have resulted in no joy.
