I recently purchased a Nexus S (M200) and I am experiencing very low Wifi and GSM signals. In fact, it's so low that I can't even make calls from GSM when indoors and need to get outdoor to get fair signals. Similar issue is with Wifi and I have to be within 10 meters to get a stable Wifi connection.
I have tried various roms and kernels but the problem remains. Even went back to stock gingerbread rom and the same problem. Any suggestion to get this fixed? Seems like a hardware issue and my phone is not under warranty!
Help appreciated.
I experienced the same thing on Cyanogen 10.1 nightly but when I was on stock 4.1 it was ok.
Maybe it's your provider which don't have a good network where you are.
I am sorry for my english I hope you will undrstand me.

I am using the same SIM on a different phone and get perfect signals. I guess it's must be a hardware issue...

I can try that. Any suggestion for a reliable radio to use?
You should get the most recent baseband (radio) firmware update for your model of Nexus S. If you search the forums, you should be able to find a thread all the basebands linked. Be sure to only install the one for the model you have, because the wrong one will not work.

Flashed the latest and tested a few others but the same problem
Hi, kamran666,
If you purchased it used I would check if WiFi and GSM antennas are there and properly connected.
Take a look on this video from 2:33.
Hope in might help.

I read somewhere that Baseband version deals with network, frequency and signal of mobile...
So now i am on official cyanogenmod 7.2 ( Baseband version DDKT2) and i am facing network problems such that while downloading any content my phone doesn't get signal in mid of downloads..something like netwotk is gone...network is showing but no progress in download,just like idle condition.then i have to search it again..(I tried it at different places and also with different operators but same thing with all, signal was -89Dbm)
Is this the problem with ROM or mobile?? or baseband ver. is making any problem?? because updated baseband ver. for galaxy fit stock rom was "DDKT3"!!
Please give me solution on this i am feeling very helpless??

My Fit's baseband version is DDKT2 and it never gave me any sort of problem in case of downloads. Official CM7 won't give such issues. I've used CM7 and it never ever misbehaved. So I think this is an issue with your mobile phone. Try flashing the stock ROM and then flashing a Cutom ROM again. If that doesn't help then the problem might reside in your hardware. Please be informed that I'm playing a guessing game and I may be wrong.
Hope this helps!
The call quality on my sensation is dread full what can I do to improve it. I am running cm10 and 3.32 few.

Unfortunately a different radio is probably your best bet... but I wouldn't hesitate to try a new SIM card if yours is more than a year old...

does installing new firmware not install a new radio though?

Ah, yeah, you're right, they do... I didn't think of that. I would try updating to the latest FW (3.33 - as you proposed). That'll update your radio which could effect your call quality/signal strength. There are also several build.prop edits you can try as well. I followed this thread a while back and had good results. Of course, if you're just in an area with awful cell coverage there's not too much you can do about it.... that said, if it were me, I'd update the radio and go from there...
Hi there!
The SW version of my PhotonQ is 77.8.10 and I'm using WCDMA(UMTS)network,
When I tried the hotspot function yesterday, I find that as long as the Data usage/Mobile data switch is on,the hotspot will constantly turn off and on,and everything's fine when the switch is off (connect with my ipod,retrive IP address and so on)
Dose any one has any idea about this problem?
What ROM?
Generally, if you post your question in the ROM thread... people don't have to wonder

My Photon Q is running the official rom which named 77.8.10 and the kernel version is 4.0.4

Ah, you mean Android version is 4.0.4 mate.
Kernel version is probably 3.0.31 or smth, but that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I don't think the built-in hotspot works (on stock).
It also sounds like you are using one of the SIM hacked devices. Why not install CM10/.1? Wifi hotspot should work fine there (it does for me on my less-hacked CDMA device....)

It's not mine, and if you are using a SIM modded device use Skrilax's!!
You know, I'm willing to bet that this is related to the issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885600. Just on a whim, I tried turning off mobile data before turning on my wifi, and sure enough, my wifi connectivity problem went away.
That being said, and the fact that I have two q's, one which works perfectly, and one which exhibits this odd behavior, I think I'm heading towards a hardware problem, and a warranty exchange. But, if your new rom seems to fix the problem, then please share that here. It would indicate that there may be a software solution to the problem.

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my phone and installed paranoid android 4.0 beta onto it. Everything works properly but I can't get LTE reception at all. I have tried forcing the phone to only connect to LTE through using *#*#4636#*#* and all I am getting is no service|rogers. I have tried this on other Roms(omnirom) but to no avail. Can someone explain why I am not getting LTE reception in an area I should be getting it?
Much thanks ?
BTW if it helps I live Toronto and I'm with Rogers

Most likely it is your APN settings if LTE was working on stock and you have not flashed a new radio. Unfortunately, Rogers' site has not been updated with correct APN settings for devices past 4.2 : http://www.rogers.com/web/support/wireless/android-customize/1363?setLanguage=en
Those MIGHT work, but somethings can change between updates and being in the US, I've no way to help check. I believe the main issue is the APN has to have this: ltemobile.apn
Found this for the N4, which I am assuming the APNs will be similar, if not the same: http://www.thegadgetmasters.com/2012/11/23/how-to-nexus-4-has-lte-how-to-enable-4g-lte-on-nexus-4/
Good luck.
Yup the APN was the issue thanks!

Can anyone please tell me whether CM-based ROMs like Carbon automatically update your baseband modem? I'm currently running the 5/15 nightly with ML1 modem and am wondering if I need to update my modem? Yesterday my radio system started acting really odd - my data connection completely dropped out for about an hour. When it came back I could only get 1x or 3G connections, but no 4GLTE. I am pretty sure it isn't location related, I generally get a good connection in the city (Portland, OR). All getting slow connection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ROMs do not change or update your baseband unless you are flashing a full ODIN image or taking an OTA. Modems have to be changed or updated separately and by you when you flash ROMs.
Different modems perform at different levels depending on the individual device and area where you live. Best thing to do is flash different modems, try each one for a few days, and test which one works best for you.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me what version I should be using and where to get a flashable image? Thanks in advance.

You will have to figure out which one you should be using by trying different ones and gauging the results.
