as per topic. i have both signals..
I have been getting it sometimes, I wasn't sure if it was CM7 or kernel bug. Either way it is a bug and I have seen several people talking about it in the threads for both CM7 nightlies and netarchy's kernel.
I get it as well on the stock ROM 2.3.3 so not related to CM7

I've never seen this before. When connecting to WiFi, the 3g icon usually disappears to show you your data is now going thru WiFi and not 3g. Note that the phone is still connected to 3g network for voice calls, but the data session has terminated and the icon is removed.
Not use why both would display. Has this always happened on the nexus s?
I get this as well. Im running cm 7 nightly 12 with netarchys 1.2.7 kernel

Okay so on CM7 my WiFi signal is just way weaker than it should be. I'm in the room right next to my router, and I have like half of a WiFi signal...On every Sense ROM I've tried (and the stock ROM), my WiFi works perfectly fine, yet on CM7 it's complete garbage...Does anybody know how I might solve this problem? Somebody suggested I try a new radio. I had been using stock, but I flashed the Telus radio and it was exactly the same. Also, why doesn't CM7 have an option to use like Advanced WiFi or w/e (where it works better but uses more battery, it's an option in the stock ROM)?
I'm on CM7 also but my WiFi is the same on this as it was on CoreDroid and stock ROM. I had the Atrix prior to the Inspire and will say the WiFi on that phone was annoying. I could stand right near my router and I'd have 1 bar of WiFi like really?
My Wifi was great on coredroid and inspiredsaga, buy not cm7 for some reason

That's strange. Does it run slower or just show less signal? If it runs at little to no noticeable difference is it a big deal?
I'm not sure because I don't really browse the web on my phone through wifi, I usually only download Apps and whatnot.
I'm not sure if it's slower, but I lose connection sometimes. I'll be downloading something and it will say "connectivity lost. rety?"

Are you checking signal strength in decibels or just bars? Decibels is the only way to make a fair comparison. Some ROMs may have a different bar/decibel ratio. 4 bars on one ROM might be 3 bars on another for the same given signal strength.
FWIW a couple of weeks ago I was curious if different ROMs affected signal strength. I tried rooted stock, CoreDroid, TPC, CM7 and Ultimate Droid and noticed no change in decibel signal strength. Wifi Analyzer and Network Signal are two such apps that will show decibels. Be sure to measure signal strengths in the EXACT same spot and take an average of signal strength (as they will vary a few dB normally).
One thing I noticed since switching to CM7 is that my signal strength is more accurate. My laptop shows 3-4 bars when I have it right next to my phone, and on the stock Sense ROM I was showing max signal. Now on CM7, I get 3-4 bars of Wi-Fi signal strength, so I think it's all a matter of how it measures. If you are seeing serious performance issues, then that's a different matter.
FWIW, I have not seen any Wi-Fi performance issues between CM7 and stock ROM.
I had the same issue with CM7.
At one end of my house, one or zero wifi bars with CM7. Kept flip-flopping between wifi and 3G, disrupting use.
With stock ROM or TPC Stock Optimized at the same location, phone gets one or two wifi bars and I can surf without the phone flip-flopping between wifi and 3G.

That is just a slight radio mismatch issue between CM7 and whatever radio you're using (it sounds like you're using the stock radio). I had the same thing happen to me using CM7 with the stock radio. This radio is fine for a lot of ROMs, and it gets good signal strength, and phone calls were no problem, but using CM7 in 1-2 bar wifi strength areas it would flip between wifi and cell data way more than it needed to. Flashing to radio 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 and flashing the RIL file HTC-RIL_2.2.1003G fixed this problem for me. Now the phone stays locked onto weaker wifi signals much better.
I read somewhere on this forum yesterday that one of the new nightlies for CM7 is going to have a different RIL in it; maybe it will address problems like this.
same here
i was having issues with my wifi and signal bars w/cm7 also, so i just switched to ace.
So last night I installed GRJ90 from buglesspete's post, but little did I know it did not have the new radio in it.
All of my speeds were much improved today, as I posted elsewhere. Once I learned I was still on the old radio, I flashed the new one and my results stayed the same. No problem... just confusing, since I thought the improvement was supposed to come from the radio, right?
you may have just sparked the biggest thread on the forum's
people are gunna be flocking back to the old radio to get tethering back and use 2.3.5 to get teh upp'd speeds
i have also noticed that with the new update that the status icon shows 3g even when on 1x looks like they are faking the signal like they do with other sprint phones.

Are you sure hotspot was blocked by radio and not grj90? I couldn't get hotspot to work last night while still on old radio, but I also couldn't get wifi tether to work so maybe something else was wrong on my end.

i flashed grj90 through cwm and i still have tethering and hotspot available??? i dont have 4g here in vermont and was hoping the update would boost 3g but ive noticed no change.
grj22 with new radio = hotspot functioning.
also getting the 3g icon when in 1x areas. I see no improvement in the 3g/wifi speeds at all, and signal still fluctuates wildly.
My tethering is also working..
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
to the ppl saying tethering works for them.. just to be certain.. are you using the built in wireless hotspot feature found in the settings menu?
not sure why some people still have it working and some don't. i wonder if some qpst m.ip profile edits could trick it into working again?
Looking for any suggestions to solve my Microcell issues. I'm running CM 7.1. I have tried the 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M Radio and RIL and currently using the 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M radio and RIL. Just about everything works fine. Battery life is acceptable, cell tower usage is fine, wifi, bluetooth work fine. My only real issue is when it is connected to either of my two Microcells. It regularly drops calls. It can drop the call anywhere from within the first minute to after 10 minutes. Not really predictable. Any ideas on what else I should try? More radios, different ROM, tweak some settings?
I have same issue on my Infuse. I wont get some of calls when I connected to microcell. If people leave voice message, i will receive them, else its like no one called me. but the caller thinks, i am not picking up the call
I dont know, whether its Custom ROM issue or Microcell.
I think its microcell, because last week when I tested, even my friends stock phone had missed some calls, and my wifes samsung focus also.
but their miss rate is very less compared to my infuse.
Reports of problems with microcell after flashing?
I've done some googling but haven't found anything definitive regarding my concern: What effects might flashing a new ROM have on using my At&T microcell? NOTE: In the past I've flashed new ROMs and not had any problems connecting with my microcell.
The other day I was having stability problems on my Inspire, so I reflashed the de-bloated latest AT&T update (which I had been using already) and for some reason since then I haven't been able to connect to my microcell. Today I flashed a matching radio and RIL in case I had flashed badly matched ones and I'll be checking on the success or failure of that tonight when I get home.
I did find some rumors that flashing a new ROM might cause the microcell to no longer recognize the phone, although it still has the same IMEI and it has the same phone number (obviously) so I don't know how that might happen.
Last night I deactivated and reactivated the microcell and made sure the location etc. are correct, and that didn't seem to have an effect.
I've been running the sabsa ics roms by alirez, and have had no issues with my microcell.

On ICS, in my room I get 3 bars when connected to WiFi and it never drops.
On any JB ROM, my phone sees the connection at 3 bars but when its connected its only 0-1 bar. 1 if I'm lucky. I'm sitting right next to my router and I'm getting only 3 bars.
I changed the WiFi region code to USA already and doesn't help at all.
Is there a radio I should flash or a modem? I'm on the latest firmware. 3.33 I believe. I'm on Bruce's cm10.
Is this a known problem?

if you are on tmous i believe wifi disconnecting\not connecting is a known issue as well as low signal on jellybean all around. U should consider urself lucky that you get any wifi connection I can't use jellybean roms because I need wifi and when I activate wifi it keeps losing signal then eventually causes my phone to reboot.
I don't get data at all on Cm roms so your doing pretty good with data and Wi-Fi.
I am however on a jelly bean rom that I received both good data and Wi-Fi. It's paranoid Android. I'm happy with that rom. It seems the others I can't get any data.best wishes

I just installed the latest CM12 nightly on my Nexus 5. The experience has been smooth for the most part, but my connection to T-Mobile's network has been pretty unreliable.
In places where I used to get LTE with stock Android 5.1, I now randomly switch between HSPA+ and 3G. I have a feeling that something is borked, but I don't know for sure. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There shouldn't be anything from the ROM side that messes with your connection. I would double check your APN settings and you can try flashing other radios to see if your connection gets better. Is T-Mobile doing any work in the area? In on T-Mobile and have had no such issues on any aosp based Roms. I'm not much for cm but haven't noticed anything while running them.
