The coverage of the telephone is something basic for its correct operation. When we do not have coverage, not only can we not make calls, but we also cannot surf the Internet because we cannot access our mobile data. If your Pocophone F1 has coverage problems, you can try one of these solutions.
Coverage problems are quite common, not only does it affect the Pocophone F1 , although logically there can always be some defective unit that may malfunction. But in that case, we would have no alternative but to go to the technical service. But before you go to this extreme, you can try the following to try to regain lost coverage.
First test, activate airplane mode
Sometimes we can think that the problem is coverage, because when we move away from the Wifi we find that it is impossible to access mobile data and we cannot browse the Internet. This can happen for two things, not only because there is no coverage, but also because our data plan has run out. To check it you must activate the airplane mode of the phone , something that can be easily done from the terminal’s quick settings, by sliding from the top of the screen.
After activating it you should check that you continue browsing, if so and you have disconnected from the Wifi, everything is perfect. This mode disables the Wifi but not the data. Therefore, if you continue browsing, it is not a problem of phone coverage. If you still cannot navigate, you must verify that your data voucher is active . If after all this you verify that you have data, mobile data activated, and you do not browse, we can think of a coverage problem.
Restart the phone
It may seem obvious, but not only the Pocophone F1, but other mobiles are sometimes left without mobile connectivity or coverage due to a specific problem, which we did not find out. The truth in those cases is that by restarting the phone , coverage is usually recovered , and we can return to browsing with mobile data or make calls.
Remove the SIM card
Many coverage issues generally have to do with the status of the SIM card . This should normally be no problem, but if it has been in the same phone for a long time, with constant use, it may stop working properly.
To verify that this is not the problem, you can try removing the SIM card and inserting it back into the slot. This will most likely help you regain coverage.
Reconfigure the network connection data
Within the settings, in the section of SIM cards and mobile networks, you can also check that all the connectivity parameters are fine. First, check that the phone is capable of recognizing the SIM card . From this menu you can easily see it.
If the SIM information is seen as active, you can check the connection data, the APN data of your operator. They are those through which our mobile is able to connect to mobile networks and obtain mobile coverage by the operator. In these cases, you can enter the website of your operator, or call it to send you the connection data of the APN, something that we can also receive by SMS message.
Factory reset
This is an extreme method, but it may sometimes be the only way to regain coverage or mobile connectivity. In order to factory reset the Pocophone F1 , you must do the following:
- Enter the settings
- Click on “additional settings”
- Select “backup”
- Press “Factory data reset”
- Press “reset phone”
You must bear in mind that all the files stored in the Pocophone will be lost , and you will have to reinstall all the apps, so it is recommended to make a backup before.
