Ive flashed into a new ROM for the first time, CM9 RC1 on my Sensation.
However wifi now has an extremely short range and I cannot get mobile network signal anywhere. This is pretty urgent as I need signal later today. Somebody thought it was something to with me living in the UK and having to get a 'radio' or something.
Any ideas? Thanks so much.

New to this stuff, but have managed to fumble through getting phone rooted, flashed and functional... to a degree.
I have a HTC EVO on the Sprint network.
Android 2.3.3
Cyangen Kernel 2.6.37.4
Mod ver. 7.0.3.1
Baseband 2.15.00.04.08
So with everything up to date as far as i know I am stuck with a '1x' for a signal.
My mom has the exact same phone except its not rooted. Stock everything and shes getting a 3g signal when shes in town.
So Im stuck here. Anyone have a clue?
Im fairly new here and by no means a dev but i believe its because you have cyanogen its telling you the actual speed you have. while the stock evo only says 3G but is really only on 1x. try running speedtest on both devices.
-also please correct me if im wrong, read this somewhere and am currently experiencing it aswell
thanks ocruz301
Can anyone else chime in and verify this?
try re-configuring your roaming capabilities. Your issue is unlikely to do with CM7.
I have looked through the roaming menu and i dont see anything that looks incorrect.
Is there anything in particular i should be looking for?
Speedtest.net results:
average from several different locations.. 15kB
around the same for uploads..
600ish latency
I have travelled a little over 500 miles around Tennessee Arkansas and Mississippi and Im getting the same thing everywhere..
Anyone?.. anyone?
So these are the steps i have taken thus far:
-updated to latest cm7
-updated to latest radio
no go
flashed to stock rom and updated prl
ran speed test.. 15kB up/down.. EVEN THOUGH it SAYS 3g
flashed back to cm7
speed test.. 15kB
Does no one else have a freakin' EVO that can just chime in and let me know im the only asshole with this issue?
I have a somewhat same problem. My phone would drop to 1x every 10 to 20 minutes and stay there for a few minutes then go back to 3g. It does this throughout the day. Luckily I have 4G in most of my area and that helps me to avoid using 3g. The moment I turn off 4g it starts doing it again. It started a few weeks ago and I don't know what caused it. Like you have have tried different Roms and Radios but no help. I'll gonna try to unroot and go back to Sprint Rom and see it that helps.
hmmmm
I run king cocoa II rom and I thnk its the absolute best ive seen but its also froyo not gingerbread
Anyone, I am having the same issue, no matter which ROM I flashed, and whic kernel PRI or PRL I used, my speed is only 128K max with 1x icon
Hey all! So...after struggling with this problem for a couple weeks, I've finally decided to get some help. I have an HTC Thunderbolt, currently running MIUI-Vicious-ICS-4.0, with 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-5.1.0AOSP+ Kernel. Also, the baseband is 1.48.00.0906w_1,0.01.78.0906w_2.
The problem is that I don't get 3G at all, and often I loose data completely. Very rarely do I have even 3 bars of 1x. WiFi still functions though. I've had this problem on many ROMs (CM7, MIUI, DasBAMF) so I know it isn't the ROM. I'm paying for data every month so it sucks not being able to use it
If you need any more details, feel free to ask. ANY help on this would be VERY appreciated!
Thanks!
I was wondering if I should update the radio, or the modem as they call it on the s3. If anyone has anything to say about this problem please get back to me. Thanks
Which rom are you using? 4.2.2 have always "shown" lower signal than i was actually getting, but i always had good signal and never dropped calls.
I'm running jellybam 7.5 now. I was running liquid v 2.2, which had a weak signa, is why I flashed jellybam. Thanks for the reply
I flashed the newest modem recently and I noticed more signal in my basement (where it was usually very bad) but curiously less out and about in the city (where it was usually spectacular)

I just flashed the latest modem, and my signal just grew 3 plus bars. Awesome. Thanks
About 3 weeks ago after installing the update of liquidsmooth 4.4.4 i randomly started dropping to 3g service in places that i normally had full 4g available. It has slowly gotten worse to where if im not on wifi, than the phone is pretty much useless. i normally have full coverage everywhere. so i originally thought that maybe something had gotten messed up on the update, so i did a clean install of liquidsmooth 4.4, and blackbird kernal and same thing still occurred. also tried carbon rom and slimrom, and no luck. so for the fun of it, i went ahead and reflashed the phone back to stock from backups and rerooted it, updated the modems and reinstalled liquidsmooth w/ blackbird kernal, and same thing. i have went through all the mobile networks settings and tried everything and nothing seems to help, idk if that update screwed something up or if its an issue that others have been experiencing as well, or if im just screwed and my phone phone is dying.... any help is appreciated thanks

I'm currently running OmniToad, and ran CM 11M8 for a short while. On T-Mobile at least, with the custom ROMs it's normal to see H+ only when data is being transferred; it will drop back to 3G otherwise. When I ran the stock ROM on the Relay, it would always say "4G" regardless of whether it was in UMTS (3G) or HSPA+ mode. Apps like SignalCheck or CellMapper will tell you which mode it is really in.
On the other hand, if data transmission is only going through as 3G, it could be a phone issue or a tower issue. Is LTE available in your area, or are they just getting it set up? I know when T-Mobile was upgrading the Chicago area to provide LTE, there were a few glitches here and there.
It was stupid for T-Mobile to brand HSPA+ as "4G" but that's a different rant.

yea LTE has been in this area for quite a while now, i had it with my S4 and it worked perfectly, i never had a problem with the service on the relay either up untill a few weeks ago the internet speed and and data coverage was great, not quite as fast as the LTE on my S4 but it was still more than adequate, i used to use the hotspot and stream netflix on my laptop. now i can usually get a text to send but calls usually fail and if i try and use the internet its impossible. it almost seems like its doing the exact opposite of what it should be doing, as soon as i try and use anything (not while connected to wifi) than it drops coverage to 3g/edge/ or to nothing at all. Im leaning towards the hardware failing side, but i figured i might as well give it a shot and post it and see if maybe i wasnt alone. thank you for your reply.
small note of background on me: first time posting ever in this forum but have been using the tools and roms from it for a long time, so im not a complete noob, but i definitely still have a lot to learn.
I've got a Oneplus One - and ever since I can remember my signal drops (from full bars to no service) once every 10-15 minutes. I've tried factory resets, caulkin rom, slimsaber rom, stock kernel, ak kernel, and flashing different modems - the problem is still there!
Does anyone know what I can do? Should I ask OPO for a replacement? Really hoping for a fix - any help will be greatly appreciated!
bump..
Can you provide a logcat/kmsg?
I'm not sure what that is tbh. Sorry - guess I'm more of a noob when it comes to anything more than simple rooting and flashing. Point me the right way and I'll get that to you

Okay - I've got the logcat and everything installed. As I wait to reproduce the error I realized that it doesn't occur as I thought it did.
The signal drops a lot when I'm driving or if I'm in a poor signal area. I guess it goes to no service when its switching between towers or from lte to h+ to 3g. If I'm in a poor signal area it does the same - goes from some service to no service.
But then again, i do remember it going from 4 bars lte to zero service and then back to 4 bars lte. Just don't recall if this was while driving or not.
I'm going to get you a logcat soon - perhaps take my laptop and drive around to reproduce the error. In the mean time, does the above information help at all?
Thanks so much!
