One of the most common problems faced by owners of Chinese devices based on Android OS is the unstable operation of 3G and 4G coverage. Network interruptions on Meizu M5, M2 Mini and other mobile devices can be caused by a number of reasons, both external and internal. Some problems can be resolved at home, while others will require taking the phone to a service center. Let's figure out why Meizu's smartphone doesn't pick up the 3G (4G) network and what to do in a specific case.
Causes of poor mobile network signal
All modern phones support at least two types of networks:
- GSM. It is a global standard for digital cellular communications. It is through it that subscribers are connected and conversations are carried out.
- 3G (4G) network. Mobile communications responsible for Internet access.
In most cases, the same faults are to blame for the poor performance of these networks on Meizu M3S or another device. Therefore, for simplicity, we will consider both types of communication as a single whole.
If your phone constantly loses the network and cannot provide stable 3G (4G) Internet, this may indicate the following problems:
- unstable coverage of the cellular operator;
- mechanical damage to the mobile device;
- software malfunction.
Each case requires a specific approach and requires individual consideration.
Problems with the mobile operator
Cellular operators providing their services in the domestic market are trying every year to improve the quality of coverage and open high-speed 3G and 4G Internet even in the most remote corners of the country. However, today there are still a lot of areas with unstable signal reception. Therefore, if the Meizu M3 Note has poor reception of the mobile network, the problem is most likely related to the coverage.
To confirm or refute the operator’s guilt, you can do the following:
A level of -75 dBm is considered stable. If the value is lower, try inserting your SIM card into another phone and performing the same operations on it. If even there this indicator does not reach the norm, we can say with full confidence that the problem really lies in the quality of the coating and nothing can be done about it.
If the signal on another mobile phone is normal, perhaps your Meizu M3 Note has lost the network due to the fact that the manufacturer equipped it with a weak amplifier. In this case, through the device menu you can disable 3G (4G) communication and work only on 2G, thereby improving the quality of reception. However, with these settings, the Internet on the smartphone will not work, which is unacceptable for most users. 
Mechanical and hardware malfunctions of Meizu
If, when you try to connect to a mobile operator, your phone says “No network,” it is possible that the problem is mechanical or hardware in nature. Try the following:
Also try to remember if the phone has been subjected to strong impacts or been exposed to water. So, if Meizu used to work stably, but after it crashed there is no network signal, it is quite possible that one of the modules responsible for communication has failed. It can be:
- amplifier;
- antenna;
- connector;
- microcontroller, etc.
To accurately determine the non-working element and repair the smartphone, it is better to seek help from a specialist.
Software malfunctions
Often, problems with cellular communications arise after flashing a mobile device using third-party software. To eliminate such a malfunction it is necessary.
Brings to market the successor to this model. The device called M2 Note is very attractive both in terms of technical equipment and price. But still, the characteristics have been simplified a little compared to the M1 Note. Therefore, the second generation smartphone costs a little less than its predecessor. This was done so that there is a tangible difference from the flagship devices of the MX series. So, let's take a closer look at the new product.
Design, ergonomics and dimensions of Meizu M2 Note
Before we look at the phone itself, let's take a look at the delivery and packaging. The smartphone is in a simple-looking white box. There is a sticker on the back of the package with information about the model. In addition to the device, the buyer receives a USB cable, a 2A power supply, a clip for opening the nanoSIM card tray and documentation.
The design of the M2 Note body is fully consistent with the Meizu corporate concept. Both the previous model and the second Emka look decent. The body, shaped like a bathtub, is made of polycarbonate, and the matte finish is present only in the gray smartphone. The display is slightly recessed and covered with durable Dragontreil glass. Unfortunately, the oleophobic coating is not very effective, since fingerprints and other dirt are not easy to remove even with a microfiber cloth.
The body of the new product is quite compact in size, considering the diagonal of the display installed here. The width of the model is 75.2 mm, the height does not exceed 150.9 mm, and the thickness is 8.7 mm. The M2 Note weighs 149 grams, which is quite good for a phablet. The device fits in the hand like a glove, the ergonomics are generally at a good level. However, the power button and volume rocker located on the left side are a little confusing, although you can get used to it. There is a mechanical Home key under the screen that operates in dual mode. The fact is that it also includes a touch-sensitive “Back” button. This solution is present in all new phones of the company; it is clear and convenient.
At the bottom end there is a port for connecting the sync cable, the main microphone and an external speaker, which does not have good sound quality, and it is also quiet. On top there was room for an additional microphone and a 3.5 mm audio jack. On the right edge there is a tray for two nanoSIM cards or one paired with a microSD card. The main camera and LED flash were placed on the back of the gadget.
Technical equipment of Meizu M2 Note
The developers equipped the new product with a 5.5-inch diagonal IPS screen. There are no complaints about its quality, despite the modest resolution by today's standards - 1920 × 1080 pixels. At the same time, the pixel density is 401 ppi, which is quite a comfortable indicator. The smartphone boasts a decent amount of brightness, and the sensor sensitivity is excellent. The picture looks good both outdoors and indoors. Readability is not lost even if the screen is in direct sunlight. Up to 10 touches are recognized simultaneously; there is no reaction to gloved fingers.
This device is equipped with the new 8-core MediaTek MT6753 chipset. The clock frequency of all Cortex-A53 cores is the same - 1.3 GHz. The Mali-T720 MP3 graphics module with a frequency of 450 MHz works in symbiosis with the main processor. 2 GB are allocated for LPDDR3 RAM. The M2 Note model comes with 16 and 32 GB of permanent memory. MicroSD cards up to 128 GB are supported, although, as already mentioned, installation is only possible if one of the SIM cards is rejected. In the popular AnTuTu test, the device scores 31,469 points, and in Geekbench – 561 units. The results, let's say, are not impressive. However, this device is not a flagship, so this can be forgiven. The performance is sufficient for most tasks; you can play modern 3D games such as , and COD Strike Team, but at maximum settings there may be slight slowdowns.
LTE is present, including Russian networks. In our country, the M2 Note will be visible to most towers. Both SIM cards can connect to LTE. The equipment includes Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, GLONASS and GPS, but there is no NFC and IR port. The microUSB port is made according to the 2.0 standard, OTG technology is available.
The smartphone is powered by a 3100 mAh battery. It takes 3 hours to replenish the battery life using the included charger, and 2 hours to reach 75% of the reserve. However, the device cannot record good survivability from a single charge as an asset. With intensive use, the battery will last a maximum of one daylight hours. The settings in the M2 Note offer additional profiles that make the device last longer.
Software characteristics of Meizu M2 Note
By default, the smartphone is installed with Flyme OS 4.5 firmware, which is based on the Android 5.1 platform. The Meizu branded shell has its positive aspects. For example, there is a Security app that watches for malware and monitors Internet traffic. It also allows you to manage application rights. By the way, Root rights are offered out of the box. In addition, the software part of the M2 Note pleases with the presence of colorful interface themes. All applications built into the firmware are useful, there is practically no garbage. In general, communication with Flyme OS brings only positive emotions. The system response is very fast, everything functions smoothly. The interface is neat and clean, all elements are designed in the same style.
Features of Meizu M2 Note cameras
The phablet is equipped with a 13-megapixel main camera, which includes a wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture. There is support for HDR, and ISO reaches 1600 points. You can adjust shutter speed, focus, exposure and ISO. In conditions with good lighting, the pictures come out of quite good quality, there is adequate sharpness and reliable color rendition. In photos taken in HDR mode, colors are not oversaturated, but there is a decent amount of tonal compression. But in poor lighting it is almost impossible to take a good picture, sharpness disappears, and noise reduction immediately catches your eye. The video resolution limit is 1080p.
The front camera has a 5 MP sensor. This module has four lenses with an f/2.0 aperture. It is difficult to achieve good quality pictures; they come out of mediocre quality. And the video is generally soapy and gray. You can shoot in 1080p resolution.
Conclusion
The phablet reviewed today is an attractive solution. This smartphone is favored by its affordable price and good performance. Among the positive aspects of this device, we note:
high-quality sound in headphones;
excellent display;
root rights set by the manufacturer;
microSD card support;
good pictures in sufficient lighting;
Availability of LTE.
However, the smartphone was disappointing in some respects, given that it is not that cheap. The negative aspects of the device include:
a quiet speaker that also produces mediocre sound;
to use microSD you need to sacrifice one SIM card;
low performance compared to M1 Note;
autonomy could be better;
Pictures at night are of poor quality.
The device can already be purchased in Russia. If you are looking for a high-quality phablet at an affordable price, this smartphone should definitely be among the first to consider, although in our country it costs a little more than in China.
Consider an important and feature-rich application Security Center in the Flyme OS system on Meizu smartphones. This pre-installed application can be called a smartphone orderly. It will help clean up unnecessary files, cache, viruses, increase the operating time of your smartphone and control Internet traffic. You can also configure the Security Center to receive notifications from third-party applications.
In the main menu of the Security Center you can see the main application commands for controlling your smartphone. Let's look at them in order.
Cleaning out unnecessary things. The application scans internal memory for junk in the form of temporary files, cache, unused software and remnants of deleted applications. Scanning is customizable. You can add applications to the whitelist that will not be affected by scanning. In the settings of this utility, it is possible to activate the “system cache” shortcut - it will appear on the main screen of the smartphone in the form of a small rocket, clicking on which will clear the system cache.
Large files. The same principle applies here: files are searched and analyzed for the size occupied in the phone’s memory. A list of large files is displayed as a list, the user is prompted to select unnecessary ones to delete and thus increase free memory. In this utility you can sort the found files, you can select only video or audio, archives, documents or everything else.
Cleaning applications. This utility sorts applications by time of use or size, informing the user how long the application has been inactive and how much space it takes up. Thus offering to delete unnecessary ones in order to free up the smartphone’s memory.
Virus cleaning. The utility activates the search for malicious files, applications and all kinds of hacking risks. In the virus scanner settings, you can create a list of trusted applications that will not be affected, as well as enable or disable scanning of all applications. The command to update the virus database and the ability to enable auto-update of databases via Wi-Fi are also available.
Permissions. A kind of center for managing application access rights to system components of the smartphone, for example, contacts or SMS.
The utility is divided into several tabs:
At the bottom of this utility there is an Applications shortcut in the form of four squares, which leads to a list of applications to check the number of permissions for each application and configure them. For convenience, you can search for a particular application.
Traffic management. In this menu, you can activate monitoring of used mobile Internet traffic, set a monthly plan and specify the date of the billing day. Thus, when the traffic of your Internet package runs out, the mobile Internet will turn off automatically, you can immediately turn on a notification about the end of the specified traffic.
The utility keeps statistics on mobile Internet usage and displays it in the main menu. The application list displays the amount of data used by each application. The user is asked to analyze it and block access to unnecessary applications to the mobile Internet in order to save traffic.
Energy saving. Here are all the levers for controlling the energy saving of the Meizu smartphone. The main menu of the utility displays information about the remaining operating time of the smartphone and a list of available modes. The first one is Smart mode which activates balanced settings such as auto-brightness, turning off Bluetoth and GPS, turning off the screen after 30 seconds, etc.
Next one is Super mode, with its help you can get maximum savings in battery consumption; by activating it you will turn off absolutely everything except calls and SMS. This function puts the smartphone into energy-saving power mode, turns off mobile Internet and Wi-Fi, switches the network to 2G mode, and in general does everything to extend the operating time of the smartphone.
Is there some more User mode, it is customizable. Go to settings and filter it to suit your requirements. In the settings, you can activate automatic activation of modes based on battery charge level or according to a schedule.
In the Energy Saving utility, you can go to the application management menu and set up blocking applications in standby mode, i.e. when the phone is not in use.
By the way, these settings will affect receiving notifications, if the application is blocked in standby mode, then notifications from it will not be received.
Application Security Center it's like a pilot's cockpit, there are a lot of buttons and levers, the main thing is to understand them and the flight will become smooth!
