Want to make a call or send a message, it’s just too easy with your Alcatel smartphone as it lets you do much more than just talk and send messages. But when there’s no signal or the network is too weak, the usage of smartphones is limited as most of the tasks of exchanging photos, videos, audio, SMSes, chats, etc are done when the phone has network reception. What to do if your phone starts showing a weak signal or lost network issue which has been noted as a common problem in Android devices.
There could be a number of problems like the SIM card is not inserted properly or it isn’t allowing the phone to register to a network or if there are hardware or software related issues that need to be fixed. Well, here’s a comprehensive list of to-dos for those who are looking forward to fixing Alcatel weak signal or lost network issue.
Restart the phone
Weak signal or lost network issue? Why don’t you turn off your phone? It is because when the phone is awake, there are hundreds of processes and tens of apps running continuously which gives opportunities for bugs to cause any issue or temporary technical software-related glitch might happen when you command the phone to do certain things like searching for available networks. This is where rebooting technique comes into play as it refreshes the system and fixes temporary glitches at the earliest.
Airplane Mode
Can’t find the network? Many readers at GetDroidTips have reported that turning ON airplane mode and turning it Off gives the system a kickstart thus fixing any temporary glitch such as no network. Simply turn it on, keep it active for 30 seconds or so and turn it off and then, check for an available network.
