Signal killer - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Does anyone elsr have trouble with reception when around trees i do it can be the smallest tree ever and bam no signal. If i ever get lost in a forest im screwed. And this is with all my tmobile phones so its not a rom issue.

I don't. My service works fine around trees.

Also not a problem for me.

Perhaps you should experiment with different modems

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol

bahaha.... trees. I literally LOLed.
Thats really strange. And surprisingly I have never had that issue.
I would agree with quietly and try different modems again.

Have you gone to the T-Mobile site and checked your coverage area?

Yes i almost always have full bars in my area its when i go by any forest perserve big or small i can watch my signal drop to nothing. This is only noticed when i am talking on phone
Also this has even been an issue with any phone I use on tmobile even the non smart phones

Yea glad that idiot Pryor left...
Anyway, not sure what was wrong. But it happens to me from time to time, since LTE is so new you never really know when VZW might be working on things.

This phone is fantastic!

I love the bright vivid colors on it we also have sms delivery reports. Its just overall great. I dont understand what all the complaints are about. Maybe because I. Have not experienced them at all. B-)

Yes, this phone is fantastic!!! when it's working... Most of the complaints on this forum are stability issues, with the addition of some units have screen bleed.
My 2 phones have some instability that require battery removal. I don't get any "force close"; it's fast, it seamlessly handles many aps, the camera is great, it makes wifi calls and does wifi tethers (never done that myself). The list of greatness goes on. And then my wife pulls it out of her purse when she's on call and it is locked up (no screen, no key response) and has been locked up for how long? My 2 phones do this, and a guy at work here has a G2x that does this occasionally. I have began over a week ago restarting my 2 phones once a day, and haven't had a lock up since. A couple of reboots, but I can live with that.

I actually love my phone as well. Never have had the phone do any of the issues that people have spoken about. I do miss the camera app that was on the software before the OTA update, but that is minuscule.

Dude your phone number is visible ^
Have you tried a speed test? If you're getting 6+mbps, then the ROM is right, and you do have HSPA+

I've tried speed tests many times on different roms .... A few times I've reached 8mb dl speeds... Very few... Its just that faux's rom is the only one that shows the hspa+ ... I haven't noticed it on any other ... And I actually live a half mile from a tmobile tower and work five streets over from my house... This all came from me having horrible signal and repeatedly calling tmobile about it... I hardly had 4g kept missing calls, dropping calls all while my wife's sgs4g had steady 4g constantly ... They kept telling me they did troubleshooting and came back with I need to take into consideration that TREES were causing this..... Trees, really ..... Then they replaced the phone...
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The phone is working fine btw.. Other than the signal problem is still there.... Possibly a little better ... I am a crack flasher and proud if it ...I've tried them all ... My wife thinks I'm nuts and doesn't let me anywhere near her phone.. lol .. It just drive me nuts that I'm this close to a tower and I would think that I should be getting very good signal and speeds.... Any input would be greatly appreciated... And if anyone knows how I can take down the pic with my phone number on it ... Thnx

Go online with puter. Edit your post. You can do it with app too. Hold finger down a sec on your post. When u release it it should say modify in the middle of the pop up. Edit your post there.

whats the best modem?

hey guys whats the best modem for our phone?
Modems vary based on your location. KJ3 may be good in good in one state and bad in the next (not literally scaling like that, but just an example).
Thank Explained It All.... Any Good ones For Illinois Chicago? and you have just won a thanks click from me... thank you
Ki3 is best for me

KI3 gives me the biggest range.
However I lately noticed it sometimes gets idle after no usage.

honestly there is no best modem flash what u feel works best for you...
I downloaded all of them, and used each for a whole day, testing both wifi and network speeds various times throughout the day until i landed on the one that worked best for me.

As raver said its different for everyone. You have to test them out for yourself to find which is best for your area and setup.

Good modems with miui

So im still a little new about this but im getting more and more n to it. Loving the miui rom. But after hearing good things about! modems" I'd like to flash one. Any suggestions??
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
People have different experiences depending on location. One may get better service than another person. So flash away. Test each modem for a couple days or so.

Any modem will work for any rom. Even miui. I'm currently on the i3 because it's giving me the best service right now. Haven't tested the newer ones yet
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
I get my best speed and latency with UCKJ2. The majority, from what I've seen, stick with I3 and the more adventurous seem to also like J2.
KK1 kicks but for me
