I just got my rog phone this Monday. I play arena of Valor on my phones. And after getting rog, I found that it has a lot of ping spikes. On my Oneplus 6 I'm playing in Europe with about 40-50ms ping. But on the rog it goes from 40-120ms. I'm still waiting for the asus phone cover, and gamepad. Hopefully it will help. Lineage 2 revolution also get lower bandwidth while gaming on the rog phone. Hopefully this will be fixed by update, and not the apple iPhone hardware failure on the antenna.
Updates:
I now have sim card in the phone and will be using it as daily driver.
Ping is a lot better on 4g connection than wifi. On 4g i game with 60-68ms. Wifi 40-100+ms. So it is the wifi that need a big upgrade. Aov is used for the testing.
Sorry I can't help I have an Eero so I have low power wifi on 3 mesh networked routers spread all over the place. Highly recommended for crazy fast wifi everywhere.

HI there, how is the performance of Lineage 2 Revolution on this phone? What kind of FPS do you get and does the performance remain smooth after a long time of gaming or does heat reduce performance?

The fps goes between 5 and 60. Mostly between 50-60. Heat is about 35c degrees. Never had any heat problems so far, but the air is also cold. I think the problem will be in the summer, if my phone lasts that long. If they won't fix the ping spike problem, I'll probably go for the Oneplus 7. Lag in games, on a gamer phone, is a serious killer. And normally an acer feature, not asus.

I have found out that Oneplus 6 plays games for the same amount of hours as rog phone. So not impressive.

so if running a decent WiFi network in the home where most of my equipment is connecting with 600mbs to 866mbs the above isn't a problem?

Hi Guys,
I have just moved from my iphone4 (well not completely) to an SGS2 which is my first dance with android.
Am quite happy with my purchase however am having some issues.
1) The phone gets warm at times. Sometimes too warm. Any of you facing that issue. Sometimes the screen is warm other times the area around the camera gets really warm.
2) I m not getting decent wireless coverage. In places around my house where I get 2 bars on my iphone, the SGS2 gets barely one. Which is very annoying considering the SGS2 is the best phone out there!
If anyone is facing the above issues and have been able to solve them, pls advise.
Thanks advance,

I have come from an iPhone 4 too. Yes the phone does get very warm around the camera and screen in certain situations.
Wifi signal is pretty erratic, but speeds are the same as my iPhone. I just think the signal bars are not accurate.
You will also find that battery life is not as good either.
It's a great phone in all other respects and hopefully future updates will improve things
when its warm, i mean hot, the dual core cpu goes wild, no worries, its a safety feature built in, so you don't end up with a bunch of melted plastic in your hands
the wifi signal its strange, but not just on this phone, on every phone i have ever tested, ~250, i have seen this weirdness in action, in places where i get full signal on one phone, i get zero bars on another... so don't worry and try to connect to networks with at least 2 bars

allthough theres this big op bug on the sgs ii some of it is fixed in new roms.
Hopefully soon samsung will fix this
Also when it gets warm for no reason wifi sharing may be running also eating up my battery.
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/365603-ridiculous-wi-fi-sharing-bug.html
Without rooting I use "osmonitor" app to detect when it is eating up the CPU making the phone warm and then I have to kill wifisharing manually.

From previous discussions, it seems the SGS2 and certain routers don't get along well. A couple of us with high-end Netgear's (N600/N750) seem to be getting excellent coverage. I get good signal through three stories of concrete with very little battery drain (one of the by-products of a weaker signal). I know you shouldn't have to replace your router to please your phone, but it's something to consider.
Thanks for the responses guys.
I am using Dlink E2000 router with an external antenna. Does that play nice with SGS2?
Any suggestions on which custom Rom I should try?

Yes multiple posts on this topic dont worry its dual core .

Bars do not measure signal strength use a proper measure like
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-analyzer/com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
If anyone is facing the above issues and have been able to solve them, pls advise.
Again multiple posts on the forum .
Custom rom you choose but rooting and custom rom voids warranty .
Villain rom for me at present .

I updated to the new XEU KF3 official ROM last night and it improved Wi-Fi strength for me noticeably.

Constant Wifi disconnects at work, gym, any place that has more than 10 people using the wifi. Home use its fine.
WiFi and network no issues, better den any other phone... Previously I had Redmi note 3 was getting only 2 bars of network...While in Honor 6x I'm getting full network
no issues with wifi connectivity
Everything ok after two weeks of usage
No issues seen till date. Been using this phone since Dec and havent encountered the issue with Wi-FI strength. most of the time full bars unless I am in closed room or around 20 ft from hotspot.

That could be wifi signal issues as well or if they have limited the nunber of devixes for simultaneous connection.
No signal drop in home
In fact i can get wifi sometimes (not always) aon ground floor from my home at 7th floor (around 90 ft distance easily)

Using it for 3 days. So far very good, It has a good range but not good as premium phones. For example before this phone i used p10 plus and it could catch wifi signal even from bottom of the building (I am living at top of the building). With A8(2018) im starting to catch wifi when I climb to second or third floor.
Wifi-Signal sometimes breaks off. I recognised this while using "WhatsApp-desktop." I think a further update will fix it.
it is very solid but you have to watch your hands from blocking the antenas sometimes during games.
hi guys yea i comfirm i have problems with network also which is very weak comparing to my old phone Galaxy note 3 ... i changed for this one ( A8), working fine but a bit slower and its enoying for me if i knew it i could stay with my old phone x) ... i hope there will be solutions to fix this
Ive had my A8 for 3 weeks and it constantly disconnected from wifi, both at home and the office. The wifi icon will get an exclamation point on it and I either have to wait for it to reconnect, or if it doesnt reconnect I have to turn off/on the phone's wifi.
Anyone else experience this? It's so bad I may take it into warranty.

Can't confirm that. I would test it maybe on a third wifi, but I don't think it will change something.

Never had any issues with mine, even worked fine out in the workshop which is a good 100m from the router, through several walls and across the yard. Not quite as good as the S9+ but that was double the price of the A8.

Yes, this is because the phone keeps switching between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network. Disable or rename 5Ghz is your best option.
Much much better than my Moto X Play.

I have the device for 3 days now. While it's a good phone for the price I must say that WiFi performance has been meh.
It's stable for the most part but it switches very, very aggressively between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz when you have a dual band AP with band steering (so that means that the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz have the same SSID).
That is because 5Ghz will always have just a little bit less signal strength in RSSI than 5Ghz and the device decided to switch to the stronger signal of the 2.4Ghz. This drives me CRAZY because I have fkng 5Ghz in every inch of my house.
Also the throughput isn't stable on 5Ghz. It seems like the device goes in some kind of aggressive battery optimized mode instead of giving the full throughput that is available. For example when connecting the link speed might be 433Mbits but without moving the device will drop automatically to 200 or less without reason...
EDIT: contacted Nokia support. They assured me that this was fixed in the 8.1 firmware if the TA-1046. My device is still on 8.0.0 and should receive it today or the comming days
EDIT2: I received the update 2 days ago. WiFi on 5 GHz AP's is fixed. The phone seems also more stable and the weird overheating issues I had at random moments while playing music or streaming a video are fixed.
Only thing I need to test is the SOT as I don't have had the time yet.

Wow nokia support seems top notch! good thing the phone itself doesn't have a notch..
Similar to Pixel XL in my case.
WiFi is a bit more stable than on my old HTC 10. Connects faster and the connection seems to be more stable.
I did some Speedtests: last is at home in a 5 GHz 802.11ac network with a 100/40 connection.
The other two are in eduroam 5 GHz 802.11n.
Nokia 7 plus 2.4G WiFi signal performance of the mobile phone is very poor. In the same environment, I copied the file from FTP. My old mobile phone nexus 6p has 10MB/S, while the Nokia mobile phone has only 4.xMB/S.
5G wifi performance is similar to two mobile phones.
Yep sadly the wifi performance is poor, both the throughout and range are worse than all other phones I've had on the same router.
It is one of the worst aspects of the phone.
My nokia 7 plus not show 5Ghz wifi only 2.4 Ghz show

Signal is pretty bad. I have Google WiFi at home and in my bedroom the Xperia can barely connect and often drops. My old OnePlus 5t did not have this problem. I'm very surprised an all glass phone has that much worse WiFi than a 3 year old metal unibody design...
I notice the WiFi isn't great on the phone. I often have to switch to mobile data. My older phones do not have this problem.
Same, my s9+ was all glass and had better wifi signal. I'm wondering if it can be fixed with a software update as when I first got the phone it wasn't to bad.
My Xperia 1 would drop the wifi connection at home too often, I've had the Xperia 1 11 for a week now and it is better but still drops it, every couple of days for a few seconds, so far anyway. Never have this issue at home with my iPhone 11.
Gotta say I've had no issues with wifi strength, range or throughput. I'm on O2 here in the UK.
I am having problems with a BT Smart Hub. It doesnt seem to be a problem with the signal strength for me, rather it stalls all the time and data isn't received every so often. Played with switching between 802.11ac, 802.11n and 802.11g but makes little difference.
I started a thread on the Sony forums on this here:
https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/xperia-1/xperia-1-ii-unreliable-wifi/td-p/3684998
I have a Vodafone router. WiFi is fine, it's actually stronger on 5ghz than my Asus Rog 2 was.

What Wi-Fi router are you using?
Wifi strength is bad on mine. Drops out in several rooms of the house, where non of my older phones had the same problem
I have a WiFi 6 (AX) router and the phone connects at almost full speed across 10meters between 3 rooms, something you cant get with AC WiFi for sure.
So I rate 10/10
Dear friends, I have same problem. My XQ-AT52, imported from HK, has very slow wifi connection.
Only with 5Ghz Wifi it's ok.
2.4 gHz bad range.
