Why is the network signal strength on my Z3 so much weaker then my old V?

Okay. I have had my new Z3 for a while now and I love everything about the phone, accept for the reception quality. I am on AT&T and I travel in the same area routinly and I always had great reception in my normal travel area with my old Xperia V. At my home I always had 4 to 5 bars of signal. My new Z3 never gets more then 1 bar, if any. I almost never had dropped calls on my V no matter where I went. My Z3 drops calls all the time. My mom lives 150 miles away and I go to visit her at least twice a month. Many times I have driven the entire way while talking on my phone (with my BT headset) and never had a dropped call. I have been to her house several times since I got this Z3 and I have no signal about 80% of the time. I could not make a call if my life depended on it. At first I thought that the problem was that my V was using 3G towers and my new Z3 is using 4G towers. But I swtiched my Z3 to 3G only and it still has not signal in areas where my V used to have 4 to 5 bars.

As far as specs go, the Z3 (D6603) has all the same bands that the V has and more. The Z3 works on all the following 3G and 4G bands.

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 13(700), 17(700), 20(800)


These are the bands the Xperia V operates on:

3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100

4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 20(800)


So what is the problem here? Why is the reception so bad on the Z3?

[Nougat] notification problems

Good evening
Yesterday (finally) I upgraded my nexus to Android 7.0, I made a clean installation (factory reset from marshmallow, new wipe from fastboot and flash firmware) Everything works great except for notifications that are unbearable.

• If im responding to a message using the quick replay and a new message arrives the keyboard is closed and the written text gets lost.
• If I remove the notification with a swipe, it will appears again repeated every 5 minutes.
• When there are grouped messages (Ex. Telegram groups or whatsapp) they are not displayed grouped together, but It is shown only the first or the last message arrived. If I remove the notification with a swipe, when a new message arrives repeatedly reappears me the initial message notification.
  
  Code:

  ---

  Example:    Messages in a group:        FriendA: TEXT1,  FriendB: TEXT2,  FriendC: TEXT3
In the notification only appears the FriendA's message as if it were a single message.
If I remove the notification and FriendD writes TEXT4 , the notification of FriendA comes to me again.

Only Fastboot Mode after flashing new ROM

Hi,

My OP2 is currently a bit broken.

What I had:
- rooted phone with Oxygen 3.0.2 (it just worked fine)

What I did:
- download new Oxygen and supersu beta
- reboot into recovery
- first flash the ROM, then flash supersu
- wipe cache
- reboot

That was it, it keeps showing the red dot with the rotating two white dots. And it goes on forever ....

When I try to reboot into recovery (Pwr and VolUp) it goes to Fastboot Mode. The only positive thing for now is that my laptop finds the OP2 when it is in Fastboot Mode ...

fastboot oem device-info shows:

Code:

---

... INFO        Device tampered: false
INFO    Device unlocked: true
INFO    Device is_verified: false
INFO    Charger screen enabled: false
INFO    Display panel:
INFO    console_locked: 1
INFO    exec_console_unconsole: 0
OKAY

---

How can I fix this? (I created a backup by using Titanium, that I uploaded to my Google Drive before flashing)
