Anyone else have 3g problems?

My 3g always goes away and I have to cycle it in the pull down bar. It's not a huge problem but its annoying because it will always log me out of googl3 talk. Does anyone else have that problem. I've had it with every Rom I've tried. My phone also does random reset for no reason. Again I've had this problem with every Rom I have tried. Are these just known issues with the current radio are is there a fix for these? Any help would be great thanks.

It's a problem with the original and the leaked radio. I have it happen fairly frequently along with my signal dropping for unknown reasons. The radio firmware in the TB leaves a lot to be desired.

My 3G drops out and comes back but no random reboots. I am overclocked to 1.2 GHz running Bamf 1.6.2 remix with Ad's latest kernel and the latest leaked radios. I think it's mostly due to issues here in my area though (I had no LTE problems at work on Friday afternoon when it came back up.)

I have 3g drops as well. It happens randomly.

My 3G has been wacky the last few days. Constant drops (when they didn't happen before), and it has just been awfully slow. Hoping they are performing some maintenece for a nice 4G upgrade in my area

Thanks for your replies. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I did do that ##778 thing o heard about on here and cycles rev a. To enabled and now my 3g seems pretty consistent. I don't know what that changes though.

[Q] [Q} GPS drops consistently in Navigation

Hi guys,
I've been having some strange GPS issues of late that seem to be getting worse. Unlike everyone else with GPS issues, I seem to be able to get a solid lock quickly. My issue comes in with navigation. After about 5 minutes (or less) of navigating a route, Navigation drops the signal. I know it's not due to weak GPS signal because when I exit the app and re-enter my destination, it locks within 5 seconds (strong lock). Super obnoxious on my 30 minute drive this morning!
Here's my setup: i'm running the TalonAce beta rom with Talon kernel, stock gps.conf. I haven't applied any fixes (angeldeath or angeldeath modded for inspire v2.2 i think, fasterfix, etc) because the stock gps.conf file has done fine for me since i flashed this rom. I had this problem when i was on gingerbeast too...this time with all those gps.conf modifications. 10-15 second cold locks with up to 10-12 satellites. So signal isn't an issue. I'm also on the newest OTA radio for the inspire with matching AOSP ril.
This all makes me think it is an OS issue with how it's managing the GPS...maybe the signal drops off when the phone starts to idle? I came across an app called tracker booster (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kaukovuo.android.trackerbooster&hl=en) that other people have recommended for similar issues with sports tracking apps...but i don't want to use another app to drain my battery even faster when it should work as is...
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I haven't used a Sense Rom for navigation in months so this may just be an AOSP rom issue? What do you guys think?

When it drops, pull the notification bar down and disable gps for a few seconds. After you re-enable it, it will stay on for the duration of your trip.
Test it sitting where ever you're at right now. Just act as if you're usin it to go somewhere.

Hm I'll definitely try that. Any idea why this happens though? I saw somewhere that the issue's most common on (if not exclusive to) gingerbread...

It's not a GB thing but a CM thing. It doesn't happen on the stock OTA GB.

I have the same issue on my G2, and as you say, pull down the status bar, disable/enable the GPS and it stays locked.

[Q] Random vibrations and weak Wifi reading- sky ICS (4.1)A-3

Hello there everyone. I recently flashed seanzscreams sky ICS leak rom. Everything seems to be in working order.
However there are two problems for me at least:
1. The wifi indicator never indicates a strong signal even if I am standing right next to the router.
2. There are random vibrations occurring when the phone is asleep or when I unlock it to do something. I thought that this was just google music vibrating to tell me its switching songs, but It happens randomly as well as then.
Just wondering if anyone else is getting this issue, and if so, should I try re-flashing even though Im not getting and FC's. I will fix permissions and post results.
Phone stats:
Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: I727UCALC4
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build number: SKy ICS 4.1A-3

I have the EXACT same problem. Both of them in fact...

I believe it is due to any specific program that hasn't been optimized for ICS or the ROM itself, because I don't experience it, but I've heard of such problems on all ICS roms

I think it's from things force closing in the background.

I've been having the same issue, but I'm pretty sure it's due to the AOSP lockscreen. If you can tell Play Music glitches on the lockscreen and incorporates its self with Samsung locks screen. So definetely some sort of glitch going on.

All of the ICS ROMs suffered from the same 2 things mentioned. My WiFi signals were much weaker than on any GB ROM unfortunately.

I removed AOSP lockscreen and am still getting the random vibrations. Mine seem to be coming from the CM9 music app.

Hey everyone, how about trying out a different kernel?
For me, I switched to Romracer's kernel for ICS and I have no random vibrations or apps FCing in the back ground. You can also try Mohan's kernel as it seems to be better suited for AT&T.
When flashing the kernel always do a nandroid, but wipe both cache and davlik (its under advance.) Then after the kernel flash is complete just let the phone sit for a couple of minutes to make sure that everything settles into memory properly.
Something else that I noticed yesterday, I was doing a ton of memory wipes, (taking screen shots for different themes...) but my data connection was patchy as hell. Random drops and disconnects even though I was in Downtown of my city. Any way long story short you just need to let your phone settle down its been about 12 hours since my last cache & davlik wipe and my data connection seems to be holding properly without any further adjustments.

Does anyone have less bars after installing the ICS leak?

I'm the area i live att has good service also where i work and around my town. I used to get full bars in my house, good bars almost everywhere i went. This all changed after i installed the leak. I know get 1 to 2 bars almost everywhere. Nothing else has changed in my phone or my life. What can be causing this and how can i fix this?
Anyone else that installed the leak had any problems like this?

I dont think much has changed signal wise. I do however notice wifi is amazing on ICS. This one out of three android devices I own gets best reception wifi wise. Also, dont want to sound rude but should really search for a fourm thread that has been already been made about ICS bugs/issues. Please post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780142 I'm just letting you know what a MOD or DEV would tell you here. Making new threads seem to clutter up the forum and people dont see the more in important threads that get bumped daily. For instance, I have almost 650 posts and I've only started one maybe two threads cuz everything can almost be found using search option. Sorry to hear you have bad data reception but I am sure you can somehow tweak/mod/make it better by searching all over the place. Good luck!

Bars mean nothing, they're just graphical representations. Settings -> About Phone -> Status will display a "Signal Strength" line. This will have a number, the lower the dBm, generally, the better. You could be getting the same reception, just the leak is handling the signal better or representing it differently graphically via the signal bars.

Much like Apple's "Death Grip" fix was..... they simply changed the graphical algarythm for the signal bar display a.k.a. - bar 4 had a larger signal window before it would drop to bar 3...
It's all in the numbers.

Horrible signal on 4.2.2

Has anybody else experienced less than decent cell phone signal since upgrading to any CM10.1 derivatives? What's very strange, is that sometimes I'll have full bars, but still shows yellow on 'Mobile network signal' in the battery section (see screenshot). I haven't noticed any poor call quality, or too many periods when the data connection was actually lost.
I feel like this is impacting my battery life.. but maybe it's just a cosmetic issue?
I normally get great signal using the stock RUXLF3 radio.
- I've tried UCLK4, UXUMA7, UCLL3 ... each was no better.
I've seen this on a few ROMs also: AOKP, Sons of Android, and now I'm on PACman.
Any input would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention I'm on Rogers. I727R

It seems to actually only be LTE which is having issues.
I did some more testing today, and when LTE is disabled - the Battery screen shows green across the board!

Yes. I had same observation. I am back to 4.1
