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

hello
I set up my unlocked i727r to work with mobilicity, however, it has very crappy reception. I tried the t989 KID modem, the vk1, the telus kj3, and the blaze modems. They all give me weak signal (anywhere between 0-2 bars with mobilicity), whereas my galaxy nexus has 3 bars. It tends to lose connection when I go inside a supermarket, and sometimes disconnects from the network and doesnt want to reconnect. I have the gingerbread, and I want to keep it. So, is anyone using this phone with mobilicity and getting a good signal strength? Do you mind sharing with me what you did?
thanks
Bars aren't really a good indication of signal.

yea what i meant to say is that its very unstable, it would take a long time to dial a number, it has crappy reception, etc. Right now my phone is connected to the mobilicity network, but under mobile network state in status, it says disconnected. What could be the cause of that?

I was searching around and some people said that they do a combination of radios, how does that work?

No, I'm saying your signal probably sux because of you carrier, not your phone. As for flashing radios read read read.

Disconneted because data is disabled or you are connected to Wifi. Disable wifi and connect to network data, check again
Did u try the new t989 ule ics radio? Ive read good things.
Nope, I have surfed through ALL the posts with radios in them and never heard of that one, would u mind posting the link here? Thanks

I'm more or less in the same boat... in particular upload rate is horrible ~40kbps.
OP: any progress in your experience with mobilicity and in your search of a suitable modem?
It's the network not the phone. I was with them & got the same results with a Lumia 710 & the 727r. I tried all the different modems & the best is the Blaze 4G IMO.
Did you guys also have to change your kernels to get it to work?
I have tried the usual 4 radios combined with SKYICS and also with the stock OS (latest Rogers version) without much success.
I get some signal but as soon as I try to call the phone would hang on me (it would dial out incidentally).
Thanks a lot
Nope didn't have to do anything other then flash the recovery, to allow me to flash the radios from zip files. The Rom and kernel were stock GB or ICS. I did go into *#2263# and set WCDMA option from all to 1700, & the mobile network option from automatic to manual selecting Mobilicity or its network ID #.
Actually a couple of weeks ago I flashed the t989 juggernaut rom, with the faux kernel and vkl1 radio and its somewhat better.
I rooted my T-mobile galaxy blaze 4g and installed ICS 2.3.6. A short time later I upgraded to CM10.0.0. It was there that I noticed that I lost my 4G capability. I only have 2G/3G service now. Where did it go and how can I get it back? Please help!

Go into settings/wireless/more/mobile networks/network mode and check mark the one with lte. This should solve your problem
Did that but still showing 2G/3G and an H+ for my network connectivity. Could it be because T Mobile does not recognize this particular ROM yet and therefore has not authorized it to carry 4g? Kind of at a loss as what to do anybody with other suggestions please.

H+ is 4g

OK cool. I hate to belabor this topic but it why is the 4g intermittent and 3g and 2g seem to be default? It only goes into H+ intermittently it's in very few circumstances. Primarily remains in 3g and menu allows me to go down to 2g. I'm pretty new, I've done a lot of reading, I'm just trying to understand. Thank you for all your help.

Its just as frequent as your last ics , the difference is 4g from T-Mobile never leaves the screen but you were still alternating 3g/4g just the same. Another thing is T-Mobile has less 4g towers than say sprint or atnt sooo really nothings changed. Enjoy !!!
TMO ROMs show 4G full time to avoid panic.
TMO calls HSPA14 and up "4G".
H+ is HSPA+21 and higher.
Phone automatically ramps down to H or "3G" when data connection is more or less idle. Under use, it'll ramp up to H+. Potential battery saving...
Nothing has changed compared with before, except the dummy icon.
Using the latest CM 10.1, I noticed that my phone says "H" for the connected network, even if it is HSPA+ / HSPAP. Now, this doesn't bother me over much, but I really would like to change the H icon to "4G" when I'm in an HSPA+ area, and "H" or "3G" in a non HSPA+ area. I hope that makes sense

Then what would happen if you are in an LTE area?

Swap images from an att Rom and rename them when putting them in. Its been a while but I think its in settings app. Use 7 zip to open app
