[Q]how do i fix low signal TB stock radio with CM7

Good Afternoon all:
Im running a stock radio, CM7 on TB. My Signal is on 1 bar no matter what location I am at. I tested the signal using a signal app and it confirms that i have a low signal.
Is there a kernal that will fix this? I did some searches but could not find an answer to my issue.

No, CM7 is still a pre-alpha, and 1 bar doesn't mean anything, when I use it with 4G it shows no bars. What is your network signal strength in Dbm?

im running about -90 dbh. sorry, i should have put that in my first post. what do you think on the cell strength?

i put cm7 on my phone with the stock radio, and had ZERO bars lol
until a call came in , then i'd have a few bars
no market access, no data connection...

i dont know if this has already been said or fixed but i am getting 4G with CM7. i have no idea what i did... but it seems to be working

[Q] 4G symbol with no bars?

Hey guys I just recently got a samsung t959v as a replacement to my nexus one that got its screen cracked. So far I am loving the phone and had no problems with it. I recently updated it using the Kies mini software and updated the phone to 2.3.6. After updating, I rooted the phone using superoneclick and everything worked out perfectly. The only thing I have noticed is that my signal bars are now always empty. I have the 4G symbol on green, however the bars next to it have not turned green at all. I am signed in to google talk so I know it is not the grey/green signal issue. Before updating and rooting I always had FULL 4G signal here throughout my apartment and throughout the city. Anyone know what the problem could be? Everything seems to be working fine using the network however it is just a little annoying not knowing how strong the signal really is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I also installed setcpu and changed some of the settings, not sure if that has anything to do with this issue....

4g and"the bars" are two different signals. Cell it's used for calls when not connect to wifi and for SMS. 4g is your data: internet,g talk, market, and most everything else. if your not experiencing issues I wouldn't worry about it. Set ovum doesn't have anything to do with this but here we have found tegrak paid to be more stable for oc/uv.

that is a UI bug with the stock firmware.
Don't worry.
Flash AOSP style. It will remind you of the N1!

Leave your battery out for 10min and try again
DON'T FORGET TO THANK!!!

T-Mobile Data Connection Problems?

I recently upgraded my phone to the new ICS software, I flashed the Virtuous Inquisition 2.1.0 and then 3.0.0 they both worked fantastically but when I turned my phone on after being on standby it would have a data connection but it wouldn't communicate with anything.
So getting fed up with that I flashed the update given by InsertCoin ICS and then flashed the ROM.
It is now doing the same thing again?
It's very finicky as to when it works and when it won't. But when it works it works well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

same problem, it works, but not well, it used to go from 4g or H to 2g, now it goes to 3g and hangs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Same here. Data seems really buggy on all the ics builds I have used for my tmo sensation. Not sure if it is firmware or Rom problems.

+1 I think I've had this problem with every android phone I ever had. I wish there was an option to just leave the data on at all times like home internet. I hate that it has to search for signal and connect every time I click something because it always hangs. Yea 4G is fast but if it has to dial up the internet every time I use it whats the point? The only fix I know for hanging internet is to toggle airplane mode. Which is some BS in IMHO.

Is there a way to disable 3g so it only bounces 4g to 2g?

I flashed the virtuous firmware update and formatted all partitions except for the SD card, and its been working for the last week very consistantly.
To my knowledge there is no way to turn on and off searching for 3g and only switch between 4g and 2g. Because I believe Tmobile's. 4g is just faster 3g? Idk.

Kernel And radio Combo Question......

Whats the best Kernel to use with the i727UVLE1 radio? Im on stock 4.0.4. Using T Mobile on my Unlocked Skyrocket. Im trying to get better signal bars. Mine is 1 to zero most of the time.
Just wondering...does different ROMS help increase the bars? If so...whats the best combination that somehone has while having 3 or more bars of signal constantly.
By the way..mine is showing 3.0.8 in the about phone.

Kernels and roms don't increase signal strength that has has to do with the radio.

Man...what can i do to increase my signal bar if you know? I see the 4G...but 1 or zero bars. I did a reformat 2 hours ago thru odin. It had the wrong radio because i had no 4G or edge...BUT...the signal bar was all the way FULL. In my room..where its never full. That makes me thing my room IS capable of getting the signal. But what can i do...tweak wise...to get the bars high?

You could try flashing some other radios that might do the trick.

I tried the Blaze...which people say is the best. Gave me 4G...but 1 bar of signal. Then now i have the i727UVLE1....4G...but 1..maybe sometimes 2 to zero bars of signal. I mean...there has to be some tweaks that i dont know about. In the settings or anything. Ive only tried those 2. I see a KiD radio....same base..T989...isnt it all the same...just different people uploading em?

I'm not sure if they're different. The area youre in may not have great coverage. Ummmm you could try some other T-Mobile apns if there are any. Not sure since I don't use mine with tmo.

It has to have good coverage. When i put this sim card into my old Slide phone right now...i get 4 or 5 bars. With a 3G symbol. Also...when i factory reset my skyrocket a few hours ago...all my bars were FULL. I mean perfect...but no 4G. Because the radio was wrong. So when i put the radio i had in it before....4G came back...but so did the suck signal with 1 bar. So i know this area CAN get good signal. I need to know what some people on here are doing to get it. What combinations to use and stuff. Im on stock 4.0.4.

Can this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195
[ROM]SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.5 (8/2) (UCLF6 Base) AT&T-OFFICIAL ICS.PROJ MARGARINE, W/ G-NOW be used on my skyrocket unlocked to T mobile? Or is this radio in here NOT for T Mobile?
[Edit] See,,right now this second...i just installed the 4.0.4 tar again from odin. It has 5 strong bars of signal right now. But no 4G. meaning the radio in there is wrong. Its showing i727UCLF6. Which is (I think) the AT &T radio. I have a T Mobile sim in it unlocked with TMO. Any radio i add from here...will make my signal go down to 1 bar. BUT...it has 5 strong bars now. Man..wish there was a way to keep those bars.

Sounds like you're in a good 3G area...but only borderline 4G area.
I travel constantly & have encountered this many times.

So..shouldnt i at least have bars with a H or something? Bars are 1 or none. Weird. I flashed thru odin 1 hour ago. Got done...5 bars strong. Filled. But no 4G or data. Had put in the right radio. When i did....4G and data came back...bars gone.

Can you share what rom and kernel you are also using.
I experience the same issues as DJR0D. The blaze radio gets me worse signal, I lose about 4 bars. This was with sky ics and stock kernel.
Right now I am back to the att modem since I need good call quality. It might be a placebo, but I think the calls sound worse with the blaze modem.

No one can help you pick a modem. Its relative to area and device. Flash compatible modems until you get the "best" one for you. Locked

Doesn't change wifi to 3G

Hi guys,
My atrix 2 has this problem that already has me tired. When I'm on home on my wifi network and I go out to the street, I lose all type of networks, the phone doesn't change to 3G. I have to turn airplane mode on and then off and then it activates 3G.
Im from Argentina .. Anyone has a solution on this? Im running SwiftyTrix (I already tried CM10, MIUI, everything). This also happened on gingerbread.

No solution for this ?

Well, how long have you waited for signal to pick up when moving away from your wifi? Mine usually takes from 5 seconds up to 30 seconds.
Maybe your sim card is bad?

Hi, I just tested it and it still didnt pick up 3G signal.
Idk, maybe I'll test my sim card on other phone or go to my carriers support ...
I think CM10 made this work, but since HDMI doesn't work on it I returned to ICS stock ..

My phone has this issue too. I thought it was provider related,but really I can not decide.
