i just flashed BAMF 1.8.6 and installed the MR2.5 radio. The phone is working great but im having issues with the signal bars. I can use the phone but when im on the web the 3g arrows don't turn on. You can say i have a little OCD but does anyone know how i can fix this so that the lights work when im using the web.

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 sometimes my 4G goes crazy and has the constant upload arrow lit up and stay like that w/ no data connection.. as if it is trying to communicate with the network but not get any response back. cant figure out how to fix it other than put my phone in CDMA mode and try switching back to LTE later on in the day. anyone else have this issue and no what the deal is?
using Das BAMF 1.6.3 Remix with .6 LTE and .7 CDMA radios. also this issue occurred when i was fully stock.
I struggled with that issue most of the day yesterday (stuck up arrow, sometimes alternating to 3G/1x), but so far today, I've been on functional 4G without a hitch. I'm running BAMF 1.6.3. I'd like to think it's network related, but can't be sure. . .
I get the stuck send arrow 1-2 times per week. I restart the phone and it's fine. Since the update the only issues I have had seem to happen when verizon is working on the network.
I've only had it twice, and both times it persisted for several hours, regardless of reboots and reflashing my ROM. I think it's network-related and ya just have to wait it out.
I was getting that before from time to time but since loading up the Ginger radio and chingy's gingeritis rom the switching from 3g to lte is fantastic and no upload lte hangs like you mentioned.
I had this exact same issue yesterday!!! I'm pretty sure it was a network issue...
Got the same issue yesterday. Running stock ROM + the OTA update.
Having problems with data again today. Reboots, toggling airplane mode not working so far. . .

Very odd problem with this new full MR2, probably radio related. When i upgraded it obviously did the full wipe so I know it's not a software interfering. It's pretty much a fresh reset since 1pm.
Anyways i keep losing connectivity to 4g. it flickers to 4g, then 3g, then 1x. Then back to 4g for a second, then it just loses connectivity to the internet totally but shows full bars. Now i'm back at 1x.
I am sitting smack in the middle of NYC where there is always full 4g & 3g bars. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I've done numerous reboots, put my phone in/out of airplane mode, etc but i can't hold a 4g signal for the life of me. Didn't have this problem in the AM before i upgraded. It's now flickering between no internet connectivity and 1x as i type this. I wonder if this is network related or the new firmware?
I was having that issue before the updates (the first one) when I was in NYC. I honestly think it may be the 4g network. the way I solved it was putting my phone on CDMA(auto) and it just held 3g.
I was having that same issue running The Perfect Storm. I downgraded the radio and went back to BAMF Remix and have had NO 4G issues. Good connection, great speed, and it never loses the 4G connection.
4g has been fine for me running the MR2 radio with flyweight ROM. I'm in Florida though, not NY...

I am in NYC and had the same problem....
I even flashed the first Ginger radio and still had the same problem...
10 min ago I reloaded the MR2 radio and I am getting 4g now....
I am 99.999999% sure it was the VZ network!
EDIT::: just went back to 1x.....I am sure it is the VZ network...just have to wait ait out
Interesting...I thought I would try this update again this morning with a different ROM (Das BAMF 2.0 - 5) and have had no issues at all. 4G is constantly connected with no drops. I'm not sure if something happened with the initial install or if it was an issue with the ROM I was using it with. Anyway, all is good.
Try powering down..pull battery and LTE sim. Reinstall them and power up.

sorry to necro, but this is the first relevant thread i found in search
i am in a similar situation, before rooting (stock thunderbolt), i could exaggerate and say i didn't even know what the 3G icon looked like, constant 4GLTE uptime in washington, DC
i'm using INJ3CT3DTH3ORY (pardon me if i have stylized the name incorrectly) with an OVA MR2, and now i'm constantly 3G. i've tried every setting under "set preferred network." if i do LTE only, it'll show 4GLTE for maybe half a minute, and then fall into 1X. if i do CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto, it'll show 4GLTE for a similarly short amount of time, then fall into 3G. all the other settings deal with 3G only if i remember correctly, so i'm not even bothering to mention those.
thinking it might have been the radio, i tried flashing MR2.5 and MR.627, both giving me the same result.
any ideas?
edit: found this thread, seems to be related as well (showing some effort here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178285
I am not experiencing these problems with BAMF 1.86
This started on the eternity rom, then I switched back to CM7 by thundershed 1.4, then 1.5 and tried various radios on all roms. 4G signal will not stay and once it is lost it will not come back even after switching radios. I have checked the network mode settings. I am leaning toward believing this is hardware related or network related as those are thoe only variables I cannot experiment with. This is happening in Utah.
EDIT: installed stock .9 rom and still no 4G.
having the same issue except it happens in 2g/3g also...
Anyone have any idea cause this is annoying... rebooting the phone temporarily fixes it for me.
