Anyone else getting little to no bars after turning the data setting to > EvDo Only? It seems to be fluctuating between 0 and 4 bars. Every time i use the internet it goes to 4 bars and then back to 0. Anyone else have the same outcome? If I enable 4g I get full bars :/
I thought to disable 4G you only had to set it to CDMA auto (PRL)?
Bars don't mean anything, what is your signal strength?

Has anyone else been having issues with their wifi connectivity? When I go into a different room in my house, my phone fluctuates from 3 bars to 0 bars, and sometimes loses wifi connectivity. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Thanks.
I wanted to post an update on this. I have tried changing the channel on my router to reduce interference, and I increased its transmit power. Since my laptop gets a fine signal, I wonder if the WiFi on this phone is just wimpy.

I have a different issue on both my and my wife's phones. After sleeping the phone with wifi set to "never" sleep, when I wake it there is no connectivity. It still shows as connected but I have to disable/re-enable wifi to get connectivity back.
I have never had this happen with any other device.

There is an option under wifi settings to use Max Performance. Try that.
Go to your WiFi settings and hit the menu button and select advanced.
Ok ill try that out and see if that fixes it. Thanks.

Still having issues. I hope there is a fix in the next update.

What's it mean when the 4g or 3g signal turn colors instead of white? I can force it by going into airplane mode and back out.

You mean green in GB and blue in ICS?
That means you have an active connection to the internet AND have a gmail/google account setup, effectively meaning google syncing is 100% ready. If you turn off wifi and data off, it will be grey. If you have no data signal and wifi is on, it'll be coloured. If you have no data signal and wifi is off, it'll be grey. Etc, etc
Thanks man! Appreciate the reply. Clears things up a bit eh?

No problem mate, confused me a bit initially.
I've been noticing that for the last few days I can only get 2 bars anywhere in Dallas if the 4G-LTE symbol is present. If a call enterupts a data session and the phone drops to 4G, I get 4 or 5 bars. Is this normal? I used to get more bars and much faster internet.

The tower probably isn't broadcasting at full strength, I'm at 2 bars on LTE constantly also.
I really don't care, because 1 bar of LTE is faster then 5 bars of HSPA+, and that one LTE bar is still more stable then HSPA+.
What I notice is on LTE when I pull my phone out of my pocket I will have full bars of LTE then it will slowly drop down to one or two once I unlock the screen.

What part of Dallas? I have not noticed anything significant in north d (Richardson Plano and north on 75)

I have noticed this all over north dallas, from the galleria area all the way to frisco. It wasn't like this a month ago. I use to get 4 or 5 bars and over 50 megabytes a second. Now I can only get 10 to 12 megabytes a second.

I have noticed an average of about that as well. The key spots that got 45± still do though. Those are always within a few hundred feet of an obvious/visible tower tho
Bars could be a number of things. Using a network info app we found last month that the skyrockets bars are nowhere near accurate
Showing 1-2 bars where another att phone (tested with orig gs2 and an inspire) showed more bars but signal strength was identical

I have not really been paying attention to my signal strength. I saw this thread earlier this morning. I took this screenshot at tollway and park in West Plano where I have always received 4 to 5 bars. Also checked several other places as I ran errands and did not noticed any differences. Did not run speed test.
I was at Preston and Frankford today, and I finally started seeing 4 bars, and about 35 mb/s. But I was also at Hillcrest and Alpha, and saw only 2 bars.
Interestingly enough, I did notice that sometime I have more bars on my home screen, then they drop back down to 2 almost as soon as I open my apps, just like Cyberguycpt stated. Maybe it's a coincidence, but it sure didn't seem so.
Mine have done that since release
...all over the nation

Hehe, you were at Preston and Frankford? I live behind the Tom Thumb there. xD
Anyways, I've noticed that mine does the same thing. It has 4 bars, till I unlock, then it slows drops down.
Meh, I still get good speeds, so it really doesn't phase me.
It seems I never have less than 3 bars of signal, makes me wonder if it's lying to me, which it has to be.

Right now I have one bar, now two. I would think it would be correct, but there is always the chance of hardware or software issue on your device. If you.check under network you can see if the signal dBm are changing.

I have 3+ bars, I just think it has to do with your location. I'm in an LTE market.
Well I live in Miami, and notice I always have 3 bars or more, but my data randomly stops working, making me think I lost connection and its really just lying to me

thanks, i'll check that next time it happens
I live in Charlotte and rarely ever have less than 5 bars in this city. LTE as well. Loving it!
Also rarely get less than 3 bars. I'm in LTE market in Chicago and I think with the LTE signal being strong and penetrating building better, it just leaves us with much better signal. I haven't been out of a consistent LTE coverage area since I got the HOX, so I can't say if signal weakens much on HSPA+, but I assume it would. Overall, I've been blown away by reception on the HOX so far.
*glances up*
I have 3 bars. But... I do recall only having 1 on a drive once.

I never get 4 bars when I am inside the house. I am in Orange County with LTE.

running opensensation stable and ive noticed my phone jumps from 3g to H sometimes now is that only if im downloading somthing and to save battery it stays in 3g? or why is it doing this? lol
That's normal behaviour, H should only be on when it's needed, otherwise it should drop to 3G.
If you want to change this you can lock on one signal by going to #*#4636*#*# and when I lock on 4g I click the menu inside phone information from #*#* 4636 *#*# and use pull down menu and click wcdma only then scroll down click refresh. This locks my 4g signal . Hope this helps you this is what I do. Works for me.
