BT and WiFi are weak - Samsung Infuse 4G

When I first got my Infuse 4G, the WiFi showed full strength in my house and the BT would let me roam a good twenty feet from the phone, with both the stock Froyo and after flashing to UCKK4 Gingerbread (rooted). Recently I have been getting only half strength Wifi sitting three feet from the router, and BT crackles and pops unless I hold the phone up to my ear, which kinda defeats the purpose of a hands-free headset. The BT will also repeatedly connect and disconnect if I put the phone in my pocket. Seeing how it worked fine for months after flashing, I don't think it's the ROM doing this, more likely hardware. Any ideas what might be causing this, and/or how I might diagnose it?

Upgrade to UCLB3.

Done (ROM, kernel, and baseband), didn't help. Any other suggestions?

My infuse gave me issues overtime as well. Constant wifi drops, wifi signal would always shut off, and i would get half signal as well. Definitely could very well be an issue with the hardware itself.

Have you tried flashing different modems first?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

I have the same symptoms with UCKK4 and UCLB3, haven't tried any others. Which would you suggest?

Whatever works for me might not work exactly the same for you. Just head on to the infuse super thread sticky in the dev section and just try all the modems there and see which one works best for you and if that doesn't work then it probably is a hardware problem. Hope it turns out well for you.

Yup. When the MitRa Rom was first ported a few of us had trouble with BT untill we changed the APN settings.
Try:
Origionally posted by locust43
create a new APN:
Menu Key, New APN.
Name : AT&T HSPA+
Important step: tap APN and enter exactly : phone
That's it! It's literally just "phone", not kidding. Leave everything else blank including Username and Password!
Scroll down to APN Type, Select Internet only
Hit the Menu Key, and hit SAVE
Your will return to APN settings, go to the APN you just created called AT&T HSPA+, tap the dot next to the APN and make sure it turns green!
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________
Now for the MMS settings
Step 2 : MMS Settings
At the APN settings hit the menu key again and create a new APN, call it MMS
Under APN again just type : phone
go down to MMSC and fill the fields as follows
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: MMS only

Perhaps I should mention that I'm on StraightTalk...

So, I backed up my existing APNs, deleted them, entered 'phone', and got no data, not even the 'H+' icon. Changed it to 'att.mvno', no data. I added proxy (proxy.mvno.tracfone.com) & port (80) per the Straight Talk web site, no data. Cleared them again, restored my original APNs, still no data. I did reboot between every change. WTF?

Hmm. All I can really think that you could do is use GTG's ultimate unbrick and go back to stock Froyo and check it out again. Did you back up your apns before upgrading to GB? If so, try Froyo with your original apns and if it still does that then it is most likely a hardware problem.

General question about modems:
Can I flash any of them from the ISET onto any ROM? I'm running the 8/11 build of Jelly Bean, but I've noticed on every ROM I've ever ran (stock, MIUI, Zeus, Entropy's CM9, and now JB) Wi-Fi gets really weak. It's my only real problem with this otherwise fantastic device (the modifications have saved me lol)
I really don't know how modems work and are they just CWM flashable? Thanks a lot!

Don't flash one of the cwm modems. Read the info in the JB dev thread about copying the modem.

Oooooh thanks for that! Have to manually push it, probably would have ruined the phone altogether if I'd tried flashing.
Now I just need to determine which one...I dunno which one does what, so it's trial and error?

phone speaker sounds like static or crackly

My phone speaker only sounds bad in a phone call. It started when i used the return to stock directions. Im rooted now and have the e3 with cw recovery on froyo. Has anyone else experienced this with their phone for any reason. I didnt want to start messing with the phone until i and find if someone else had this problem. Also is there a way to go back to stock recovery. The e3 broke my apn, i get no 3 or 4g just e. The back to stock still kept the e3 recovery. Yhanks for any help.

Try flashing the KK2 modem found here:

That should clear the bad quality.
Also the APN you can manually restore them:

skip to mms area, no need for username and password

ALSO: IM NOT the on AT&T so cant tell if those APN work, just trying to help
I tried that and other modems but still bad sound. I cant adjust my data setting. Or should i through file root explorer? My data is still at e and slow. But thanks so far.

Call AT&T and ask them for the specific APN for your data plan bro, sorry i coudnt help anymore as i previously said im not on AT&T so i dont know the current working APN for AT&T
Hmm and regarding to the voice quality try another rom then, just dont forget to backup your data (with titanium backup or similar) IF that doesnt correct it then go for the warranty lol get a new Infuse, the speaker may me damaged.
This is a bad sign! The speaker could be dieng. My captivate's speaker went out like this and now this is how i ended up on the infuse
I had this same problem on my infuse. I tried flashing roms, returned to stock. sometimes the static noise would go away for awhile but always came back. It was a very harsh, loud, crackling white noise sound. playing music was fine but as soon as i started dialing a phone number the noise was back. Eventually i decided it was a hardware problem so i returned the phone to stock and went to a warranty center where. I told them i didn't need to keep any data, so they just replaced my phone.

I am also having this popping/crackle issue and i remember first getting it after I flashed a ROM for the first time(gtg's infused v2) i haven't ever been on stock since so idk if it's just rom problems.
Sent from my nice little phone... or should I say huge gigantic beast
I have been trying get it back to stock to see if that will fix it. I know it was from a rom of some software. Is there a speaker or a sound file that can be edited to mabey fix it? How about getting back to stock? Everytime i try there is always remaining files. I wonder if thats it?
Sounds Like you guys are having hardware issues. I tend to get it a lot mine is caused from metal shavings getting in the speaker. I use a strong magnet to pull the metal out. I use an old XM magnetic antenna wrapped in a tissue and slide it back an forth over the earpiece while calling voice mail. It has worked for me many time in the past on several phones going all the way back to the first razr.
Well, damn. I just started having this issue after enabling and disabling bass boost in the DSP Manager. Whatever is going on, NOTHING will make the distortion go away except *enabling* bass boost in the app. If bass boost is enabled, the phone speaker sounds completely normal (no boosted bass or anything). If bass boost is disabled, there's a lot of distortion system wide. I already tried rebooting and a factory reset, I don't feel like flashing a different ROM to see if that will make it will go away.

Signal dropping issues

Hey guys,
So for about a month or so now, my signal drops consistently every 5 minutes or so for about 30 seconds at a time. Also, when I get off a call sometimes it will drop right after the call. I was on sky jellybean when this started and I went back to gingerbread to see if I would have the same issue. Still happens! It sucks because my texts always fail and I cannot make calls from time to time and when it says no service I cannot get calls! Should I get a replacement from att? I'm also having issues with my USB port, it will not connect to a PC, it only charges. Also, i noticed when im on LTE, it NEVER drops. Here are some screenshots:
i would start by checking the APN's and reflashing the radio mainly the issue with signal drop is due to a bad radio in somecases there will radios included in roms and some not i always carry all radio with me incase i need to flash,
thats where i would start

Thanks for your reply but like you I have every radio, ICS and GB radios, ATT and tellus radios. I couldn't tell you how many times I've redownloaded and flashed the same radios over and over and still a no-go. Also, my apn's are correct, I've tried many different varieties as well, without any luck, still getting signal drop issues. It wont drop when I'm in a call nor will it drop on lte. So my thought is the internal modem has some type of defect because my phone is in perfect condition besides heavily using it for 10 months now.
Don't want to beat a dead horse but check your apn again. Sounds exactly like a problem I was having.

I had this issue as well on CM10 and Sky Jellybean. Started getting it on CM10, so I switched to building AOKP but I also had this issue on every build I compiled of AOKP and with R4ins' builds. Additionally, com.android.phone would FC whenever I received a call, if it even rang. The phone FC issues were specific to AOKP though. APN settings were fine. I finally switched back to CM10 about a week ago and it seems as though the signal drops have disappeared. I still have no idea what caused any of it. I never flashed a radio separately as it was compiled in my builds already.
*shrugs*
Perhaps even though we full wipe, the phone keeps settings that give us these issues? I wonder if there is a radio and kernel wiping script out there I could flash.
I don't think my apn is wrong, the att lte apn seems to be correct and I've deleted and readded it a couple times, even default restored. Still signal dropping! I'm still on gb since about a week now, and I haven't dropped yet this morning, it's been 2 hours! New record! Haha
apn has nothing to do with "signal" level...apn is related to data , signal is the GSM part ...
Odin at&t official ICS without anything and go from there ...
I'm in a heavy LTE area, so take the following with a grain of salt.
I've been using seanscreamz UCLF6 modem firmware (http://d-h.st/XYa) on a CM10 based ROM with no issues. It differs from mohan_kr's in that installs some extra CSC region files into the system partition. Might want to give it a try. I'd flash it after the ROM in case the ROM install script is set to wipe the system partition, wipe dalvic and cache to be safe, reboot, allow 5min for cache rebuild, fix permissions in ROM Manager, and reboot.
Here's my APN settings for good measure (My AT&T Visual Voicemail works too):

You know, I wanted to do that so bad until I ran into another issue: my PC not recognizing my phone. I plug it in, and it charges but my PC doesn't connect or anything. It's not a faulty USB cord, my old phone was instantly recognized.

Thanks, but my apn was exactly like yours before I reverted to gb! Something is wrong with this device, USB port on the phone itself might be broken, because before my PC didn't say anything upon connection, it would say "device not recognized" on my pc before it started not saying anything
The USB problem may be a driver issue. When the device is connected, go into the device manager and look for unknown devices. If there's an entry in there, unplug the phone and see if the entry disappears. If it does, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?9qaqkld45387lzi , extract, run the exe, and try plugging in again.
Just a thought.

Issues with my skyrocket (used)

Guess i should start from the top here..
i purchased the phone used from a friend, the phone was having issues with crashing and locking up,
as well as constant signal loss/and wifi was also causing crashing (gingerbread 2.3.5)
so i flashed CM10.1.3 stable it's no longer random crashing, Wifi is still causing reboots(but no more locking up after booting)
tried flashing a radio for it to fix the signal problems, and no dice.
could this be in the hardware since the radio didn't seem to do crap
On Monday I'm going to try and beat a refund out of my friend for selling me a faulty phone
so if i can't get it fixed by then it's not my problem any more
update: I flashed "AT&T 2.3.6 OTA Update Radio I727ATTKK1" it actually fixed my wifi, but now i'm getting no signal at all, attempted to make a phone call and it just says "Mobile network not available"

Can't recieve MMS for the past year

I've been searching and sifting through the MMS threads here and I've tried everything I've come across. Checking the APN settings, trying different SMS apps, etc... and nothing seems to work.
Ever since I started flashing my 727 back in summer 2012, it's been an all out war trying to get my phone to receive MMS messages, and 95% it just flat out won't work. I've been using the PTA APN, and I've tried the wap.cingular (which I originally switched off of because I couldn't get mobile data on.) I've also tried a plethora of SMS apps like Textra, Chomp, and Handcent, along with the stock app, none of which work. I'm also on the UCMC1 radio, and currently I'm on SlimBean 4.3, although I've had this issue long before SlimBean.
Thanks guys.
Do a factory reset in TWRP then Odin back to stock. Unless you've tried it already :/ (I'm sure you have). It fixed this same problem on mine (broken SMS), but ofc mileage varies.

Are you saying you unpacked the MMS.apk from the stock rom and replaced the current one with it?
So, I Odin'd back to stock and was able to receive MMS on stock (though holy COW it was ugly. It's been a long time since I've been on that bloated software.) I then flashed back to SlimBean 4.3 and was still able to get MMS, although I still can't receive them through Textra, but I can deal with the stock messaging app. I guess this can be marked as solved. Thanks for the help e'rybody.

I haven't tried Odin back to stock, as I've been saving it for a last resort... I may try to find time this weekend to do so.

Infuse 4G APN woes after custom rom

Hi guys,
So I just installed rooted 2.3.6 on my infuse 4G and then went straight ahead to installing the slimbean 3.0.0 Infuse version...
Everything went smoothly (can't believe how strikingly different the device feels with default-looking 4.1.2 version), except for the most important part- I can't seem to be able to do anything with the APN setting on the device, so no cellular connection at all on a cellphone.
I'd go into the APN settings menu (under mobile network settings), press the menu button, choose new APN and then all the relevant info from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29219661&postcount=1785
But when I choose save and get out of the menu there's nothing left- no default options, no APN setting I just saved. Just a black screen that says APNs
Does anyone have any idea what might have happened? How would I be able to fix this?
Thanks!
Maybe no imei number. Your supposed to flash an ICS ROM then a Jb ROM. Look under phone status see if u have an imei number. Also try another rom

Yup. IMEI issue. I solved it (kind of) by going back to stock and then flashing again into aeon rom.
Kind of boring to be on 2.3 again, but I never realized how functional and lean all this was back then
Still on the fence about going ICS or JB though, this will be my only phone for a while...
