Your's was a pointless statement. You didn't even ask a question. Are you having problems making calls, or getting data, or does it just bother you that only 1 bar is showing? How do other phones behave in the same location? Did it work with the factory firmware?
The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that!"

You need to give a lot more info than "1.6 something" for anyone to help. Just FYI, every radio on the Thunderbolt right now is "1.6 something." Also, you have one bar, but has it been better on the other radio? Does it drop in and out? Do you have data, or only affecting voice calls? What is your actual signal reading (in dbm)? Did you flash anything recently?
Kinda weird that you would give no info and get upset when no info is given back.

My radio is 1.1600_W1
The other radios are
1.12
And the leaked is 1.13
I flashed adrynalnye kernal test A.zip
Got 6-5 bars now.

My mistake. Glad you got it working. For reference, do you remember what kernel you were on when you had signal issues?

I'm not sure which kernel it was sorry.

Bamboozling SMS Issue...

I've struggled with this issue for days now... Maybe somebody can help.
I'm dropping most of my text messages. I can successfully send them, but I do not receive them.
I figured it was a problem with SuperbadCM 1.5, because the problem seemed to begin after I updated to 1.5. I've tried downgrading, flashing after a wipe, removing LauncherPro (memory issues?)... nothing fixed it. Then I tried the latest CM5.0.8t2 on a clean wipe, no good, and even flashed an old nandroid of King's 1.5 sense rom... still no message.
What could be the issue? AFAIK everything else works.
I doubt it matters, but I'm using a G1 latest radio and dangerspl. I'm not sure if a logcat of this is possible, but I'll provide whatever info necessary. Thanks for your help. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
if you know what rom it is from would it not make more sense to post in that rom thread and or use SEARCH to find if others witht he same rom are having the same issues and know of a fix....
have you tried a different rom? maybe an eclair 2.1 perhaps??
I've had the very same issue on DangerSPL. I'd recommend using Firerat's AnySPL Patch on Cyan's mod while using stock/Hard/Engineering SPLs.

makes sense, because the issue probably lies on a lower level than the rom. I'll try this now, thank you.
I flashed HardSPL over 2.22.23.02, then Firerat's AnySPL CM5.0.8t1. I'm still not getting text messages... Any other ideas? This is a pretty serious issue for me :/ what's most confusing is the problem occurred months after it was working fine.
If the problems still occurs, you may want to contact your service provider about this problem.

Looks like this is the only solution... I appreciate your input, thanks
What country are you in? I'll bet its the hsxpa and gprs class settings.
Also, you pretty much answered your own question in the first post, it happened after you went to a specific ROM, there's something wrong with it's settings.
It's all right. There was a time when the opposite-sex didn't want to text me back either!
Mmm. Mommys making me ribs! Anyone want some?
And HEY! Just because most of my posts are pointless, doesn't mean you can flame me!
But ehh. I'm on SuperBad and don't have this problem... hmm?

I have no idea where this post is going...
But I got the problem sorted out... Proto was right, apparently I had a bad sim card somehow and got it swapped out. It wasn't the spl or any rom.
I think I let myself forget this is the internet -_- 1/9000 people are brilliant, the rest are hostile and dumber than bricks.
OH HEALLLL NO! YOU DID NOT JUST TALK TO MY G1 LIKE THAT!

Did you try handcent sms? It has a workaround to an android bug that leads to sms loss when there's not enough memory available.
Yup. Baby steps. Last time this happened to me it was a network issue in my area and just had to wait it out. Any time I'm having SMS issues, I always call to see if the network is jacked up before heading another direction.
Did you not get a notification of a bad SIM? I thought these phones would have been able to detect a bad SIM... At any rate, I'm glad you got it fixed up.

Do you have any signal issues with the Inspire? i am thinking of coming back..

thinking of coming back to the inspire but i want to make sure there are no cell signal issues with the inspire. have you all had any probs? how was it fixed?
Thank you
Why would u ask that? Did you?
I've never had any signal problem... I hardly have 5 notches out of 5 though even with 2 I m able to speak with no loss of quality...

gees...
Yeah, the signal strength with the stock radio for me is sub par as compared to the slew of other phones I have laying around here. Its always way down as compared to every other phone I have, even my iphone, which was the reigning king of crap signal. Maybe its possible to get a better signal with a different radio, I dont know? Its mainly just affected in building call performance, and definitely data performance. BUT I love this phone and am going to live with it. I have even thought about trying to rig up an antenna of some sort to experiment. I might try to solder a coil of wire onto the lower antenna/cover, probably wont work but I its an easy experiment.
btw I have tried different roms and reflashed the stocker a bunch of times experimenting with little to no change minus my gps randomly going away after some flashes.
Are we back in high school? What's with all these back and forth comments? Why not help the OP instead of going off topic?
And to reply to the OP, I personally haven't had any (cell) signal problems. The area you are in and how congested it is also a major factor.

It boots but like he said nothing works. No data nothing. So you can swipe screens. I also thought by flashing that and then flashing the At&t zip after that it might work. Hells Nope! Us canadians are shafted

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

I had that same error on my skyrocket but it fixed after i did a factory reset and the market updated to the play store.
I figured that was the problem, but my market won't update. Anything I can do to force it to update to Play Store?

a while back i had the problem where it wouldn't update so i just had my girlfriend send the Play Store apk to me from her skyrocket with an app sharer and that caused it to work
eventually it will. automatically maybe try clearing data as previously mentioned but then do a soft reset?

[Q] CM10 Nav buttons flashing on and off??

Hi all I have a Galaxy Blaze 4G on the t-mobile network.
I flashed CM 10 cm-10.0.0-t769.zip and the gapps from this thread.
Every thing seems to work very well but when the phone screen times out and goes black or I hit the power button to turn off the screen the hardware buttons ( Menu Home Back Search ) will flash on and off in 2 second intervals.
Any ideas? have I just not found a setting?
Thanks for reading.
Settings / display / notification light. It is probably flashing because of a notification that needs answering.

You need to flash the newest nightly, the stable isn't stable check the date. 3-10-13 is the latest. Plus the stable is missing a few things like the kill all apps button at the top of the recent apps switch.
I'd also really recommend flashing the updated radio located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171664
I was having some issues with not being able to answer/make calls but this seems to have fixed it. It's an updated radio from what you probably have.

Hah, now that's funny. Truth is I stopped checking on XDA for a while, and never even saw that radio update. That's because I felt like I didn't really have a reason to, CM10 seems to be everything I wanted.
So, that's a kudos, all around?

AOKP or AOSP roms do not require the ril to be changed otherwise you will lose connectivity. What radio are you looking for? have you checked the radio thread in the develpment section?

yes i read all about the radios, in some comments says "if you change the radio & ril you will have a better signal, stable battery, stable gps
maybe my mistake is the tip about the AOKP that you told me
i changed in every rom from the forum and its the same situation, since i got this mobile even in the stock rom or anyother (IceCold,Venom, Er3bus, CM7, CM10, Sense) the WI-FI its to Low
what did you think? maybe a Hardware, something physical or maybe in another radio,actually I got the 12.39a.60. 19U_26.06.06.30_M
