Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamvivo y20 network way
• “Network way” for the Vivo Y20 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 platform) is the physical RF signal path that links the main/-diversity antennas → Antenna-Switch-Module (ASM) → band-select duplexers & filters → Low-Noise-Amplifiers (Rx) / Power Amplifiers (Tx) → RF transceiver (Qualcomm WTR-series, on the same PCB) → baseband modem block inside the Snapdragon 460 SoC → PMIC supply rails and clock references.
• Loss of service, “No Network”, or “Emergency calls only” can be caused anywhere along this chain; therefore troubleshooting proceeds in layers: (1) software / provisioning, (2) SIM / carrier, (3) antenna & inter-connect, (4) RF front-end parts, (5) transceiver / baseband, (6) power & clock.
Key points
– Start with non-invasive software checks (reset network settings, update firmware, manual network search, *#06# IMEI).
– Verify SIM and antenna contacts, coax jumpers and pogo pins.
– Measure RF supply rails (1.8 V, 2.7–3.6 V PA bias, 1.2 V transceiver core) and antenna continuity before touching ICs.
– Typical hardware culprits: broken coax line, corroded ASM, open PA‐Vcc filter, cracked duplexer, cold-soldered WTR pad.
Functional blocks (Vivo Y20 / Snapdragon 460 reference design)
Rx path
Antenna → ASM (Skyworks SKY78198 or Murata LMM0xxx series) → band-filter/duplexer → LNA (integrated in ASM) → RF transceiver (Qualcomm WTR-2965 derivative) → Digital baseband (Snapdragon 460).
Tx path
Modem (SoC) → WTR Tx mixer → PA (contained in the same RF FEM) → duplexer → ASM → antenna.
Power & control rails
• VSUP_PA ≈ 3.6 V supplied by PMIC PM6150, switched by MIPI RFKILL.
• VREG_LDO_RF1 1.8 V for WTR IO.
• 26 MHz TCXO shared with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
• MIPI-RFFE controls tuners, ASM, PA.
Common failure modes & symptoms
a. Software / NV corruption → IMEI shows “null”, baseband version “unknown”.
b. SIM not detected → “Insert SIM” even with card; SIM-card reader or ESD diode fault.
c. Only 2G works → LTE duplexer/PA path open, often cracked ceramic duplexer after drop.
d. No network at all, search list empty → antenna open or ASM shorted.
e. Intermittent network when squeezing housing → loose coax jumper or spring contact.
Measurement checkpoints (board-level)
• Continuity: Main antenna pad ↔ ASM pin <1 Ω; Diversity antenna ↔ ASM Secondary <1 Ω.
• DC: PA supply on call‐init peaks 3.3-3.6 V; LDO_RF1 stable 1.8 V.
• RF: Spectrum analyser –34 dBm LTE burst at antenna during call-setup.
• Baseband: CLK_REQ output 26 MHz present on WTR pin.
Recommended diagnostic flow
(a) Software layer
– Toggle Airplane mode, reboot, ##4636## → set “LTE only”, manual operator scan.
– Settings → System → Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth (HardReset.info steps).
– OTA update / full flash with latest stock firmware; keep persistent partition to retain IMEI.
(b) SIM / provisioning
– Clean SIM, test in another phone; insert known-good SIM in Y20.
(c) External RF chain
– Open back cover, inspect coax line, pogo contacts, antenna flex. Replace or jumper if open.
(d) ASM / filters
– If only certain bands fail, replace respective duplexer (Murata DSLP series).
– Zero network on all bands → re-reflow or replace ASM.
(e) Transceiver / PMIC
– Check VREG_LDO_RF1; if absent, rework PMIC.
– If WTR draws <5 mA in call-attempt, reflow or replace.
Required tools
– Board-view / schematic (service-center access).
– RF-rated soldering tools, hot-air 320 °C, microscope.
– Multimeter, DC supply, USB on‐line programmer (QPST, QFIL), spectrum-analyser ≥3 GHz, signalling generator or CMU200/LitePoint for final verification.
• The Y-series remains LTE-only; no factory firmware enables 5 G.
• Qualcomm’s latest low-tier SoCs integrate PA/LNA into a single QPM front-end module, reducing “network way” points of failure; future entry devices will need fewer discrete duplexers.
• Service literature is increasingly cloud-locked; independent repair shops rely on reverse-engineered board-views shared in private forums (e.g., GSM-Forum 2024 threads).
Analogy: Think of the network way as a motorway. The antenna is the on-ramp, the ASM acts as traffic lights directing cars (signals) onto the correct lane (band). Duplexers are toll booths letting only the right vehicles through. The PA is the turbo-charger for outbound traffic; the LNA is a sensitive microphone for inbound whispers. Any broken section—or a downed power line alongside—halts the flow.
• Opening the handset voids Vivo warranty; always inform customers beforehand.
• RF re-transmission without proper shielding can violate local EMC regulations—perform repairs in an RF-screened area.
• Maintain customer data privacy before flashing or factory-resetting devices.
• Always ESD-ground before touching RF boards.
• Mark original shield position; RF shields must be re-soldered to maintain calibration.
• After repair, run LTE loop-test and measure RSRP/RSRQ in field to confirm performance.
Challenges & mitigation
– Lack of schematics: use cross-reference from Oppo A12 (same PCB family) when necessary.
– Small-form ceramic filters crack easily: pre-heat PCB to 150 °C to reduce thermal shock.
• Component designations (e.g., SKY78198) can vary between sub-revisions; confirm by visual ID.
• Without RF test gear, replacing parts becomes trial-and-error and may degrade performance.
• Study Qualcomm’s “Device Test Tool” (QXDM) logs to correlate RF failures with modem events.
• Investigate antenna-tuning IC behaviour under different chassis grounds—could improve marginal coverage post-repair.
• Track emerging integrated FEM-iF (FEM with impedance tuner) solutions to anticipate future repair strategies.
The Vivo Y20’s “network way” is a multi-stage RF route: Antenna → ASM/filters → LNA/PA → WTR transceiver → Snapdragon 460 modem. Network loss can originate from software glitches to minute hardware defects. Begin with firmware, SIM and setting resets (as outlined in current online guides), then progress to physical inspections and voltage checks. Component-level repair demands schematics, RF instrumentation, and micro-soldering skill; most faults ultimately trace to open antenna lines, damaged duplexers, or lost power rails to the RF front-end. Observing proper safety, regulatory, and data-privacy practices is essential throughout the diagnostic process.
