I just recently rooted my Inspire and the WiFi signal is fluctuating a lot. I don't have this issue with any of my computers or the other smartphones in the household. What could be the issue. I also updated the phone with the recommended radio for the ROM.

I think this is due to some issue in 2.3.3 android wifi drivers. I find more fluctuations on 2.3.3 than on 2.2.1 on the same network at home. Experienced this issue on Captivate. So applying the same reasoning to Inspire too.
I have the same problem.
On nightly build #78 wifi is great
I recently flashed too 80 build wifi has some problems for me.

Alright that is good. I was thinking something went wrong during the rooting process.
OK, so I'm trying to round up all of those who are experiencing the 3g/4g radio switching bug. In a nutshell, it's this:
In the middle of a data-intensive process, the radio will switch several times from 3g to 4g to 3g to 4g, and over and over again. Often, it will cause disconnects, failed downloads, and interrupted streaming audio, etc.
If you are experiencing this bug, please post in this thread, and be sure to include whether you have the US or EU version of the phone. I want to consolidate all those with the problem into a large thread, so it can get more visibility.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my One S.
When the phone idle, the connection is 3G but when i use the data, it switch to 4G/3G/4G/etc...
As you said, it cause disconnects and and sometimes resolving errors.
My phone :
HTC One S 1.53.401.2 (stock rom)
Kernel : 3.0.8-01050-ge2a40ab
Baseband : 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
Build : 1.53.401.2.CL47230
Operator : Free (France)
Same problem, with a SH23 EU phone and firmware version 1.53.401.2.
It switches from 3G and H (which is more 3.5G or 3G+ than 4G here), but I didn't experienced connexions problems (but haven't had many opportunities till now)
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that another thread already exists in General forum.
same issue here, same firmware

I'm with the same phone and same behavior exactly.
I've already notified HTC about t a week or more ago.
I believe this is due to EU software. My reasoning is this:
On my T-MOUS One S, everything is fine on stock firmware with root. I NEVER experience this problem, the only switching I ever get is when I'm on a fringe area with NO 3/3.5G. As soon as I flash a rom that is based on EU firmware (all of them basically), I can't run speedtests without data being interrupted and the status bar shows switching from H to 3G repeatedly. No, this is not a scientific test by any means, but once again I have no problems whatsoever on my T-Mobile US stock rom.
T mobile does have the bug
It is because the T Mobile base is programmed to not switch from 4g but I assure you I own the phone and if you do speed test you will see this bug is definitely present..
I've been doing speedtests since I bought the phone.. it never happens on mine
whether you like it or not..
Guess you have the magic device that does not have the bug which everyone else has..even though tmobile acknowledged the issue already as well as the people with the EU version which also has the bug..

I have seen a couple of comments around here about wifi problems.
I am not only seeing wifi drop for no reason at all but also having great difficulty in getting any signal at all for phone calls/texts.
Have other people experienced this and are there any ways to fix it?
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted but havnt flashed anything at all, I haven't even got a custom recovery.
Any help will be appreciated as this is currently making my phone useless

I should add that I am in the UK on O2 as I have seen people talk about it in the states but don't know if they would be related.
I recently upgraded into the note edge and I'm experiencing consistent service loss. Seems like anytime I use anything network related ( cell network ) after a very short period of time it drops signal and take 5 mins or so to reconnect.
It's running 4.4 android and there are no official updates available to me
I'm on the sasktel network. This is very frustrating as I really do love the device.
I don't believe it's a hardware issue I strongly believe it's software related.
I've googled and have found that the Sprint Edge was giving some people grief but I have seen few to no solutions (and the ones I've tried have done me no good)
Please help!
Ive got the sprint 915p and mine does the same thing. Very annoying. Inly way to stay connected 100% of the time is to stay on 3g which sux. It is a known issue from what i have seen. Some phones are said to work themselves out of it. Inwiped my sim card points down with alcohol and forced my phone to reprovision and do a hands free activation. Seems to have actually helped some.

I also experienced the same thing and I thought I am the only one. Mine is a Bell Note Edge and using it under Telus network. Since acquiring this one 2 weeks ago, it has been a constant pain. There are times when my network signal would drop from 5 bars to no service and lasts for about 2-5mins for every 10-15mins of each hour. I had replaced my old sim card and purchased a new one a few days after getting the Note Edge. There are times that restarting the phone would fix the issue for about a few mins then it would go back to no signal. There are times when my LTE would just hang for a good minute or so. No problems with wifi connection and data up/down is consistent.
I also believe that this is software related. I had the somewhat of a similar experience with my LG G2 but this was in regards to the Wifi d/c issue. I had to wait 2 months for a dev to look into the issue and when he did, i flashed the modded kernel and wifi was better after that. I also contacted Samsung Mobile and the customer rep mentioned that they are not aware of any issue, which meant he didnt know jack at all. Hopefully somebody figures this out. I had to revert to my Note II as my daily driver.
Ya i wish there was someone out there that knew what exactly the problem was and could fix it. Its annoying when someone on here says its a known issue and clearly there are people having problems and complaining about it then the service representative says they dont know anything about a known issue.

I had the same problem with sprint. Went there and found out that I had a bad phone. They ordered a replacement and swapped it out. No issues after that.

Ya im gunna do the same thing its just a matter of having time. They want to look at your phone and "replicate the problem" before they replace it. I have already sat there for an hour to tell me about certain towers being down. I guess it was working ok for them when they looked at it. Its not all the time for me. Its that every once and a while when i got time to kill and i dont have wifi that it decides to act up that pisses me off

I get that too. There are days and hours where my phone cell network signal works flawlessly. There are days when I could barely get a signal.
Ya its random with me too. After wiping all the pads on the sim with alcohol and doing a hands free activation ot seems to be doing a lot better though

On sprint, since i updated to LP, this hasnt been nearly as much of a problem. .. 1 dropped call in a week, in a busy theme park, in a tunnel....
Friends,
Quite frequently calls are being dropped with my s6. Suddenly the network completely disappears from full bars to nothing. I've tried different modems, no help.
?
Anyone experiencing the same problems?

Guys I can't believe this. I am convinced that more people are having the same issues with 4g network stability and dropped calls!
Please sound up and let us know.
The GSM network stability is nowhere as stable as with my last s4
My problems include the following
- dropping from 4g to lower speeds, even edge when trying to so something data intensive (browsing)
- dropped calls and random network loss while triggering network activities (browsing, refreshing mails, calling)
- trouble establishing calls. When the network drops out I have to wait about 10 second until I have bars again.
Please let us know how your device is behaving, what might be causing these problems and how to fix it.
Best

Sadly, there are quite a few threads about dropped calls on this and other forums. Some have tried factory resets, unchecking "HD enhanced LTE services", removing LTE altogether, etc. Some report their caller cannot hear them. Perhaps 5.1.1 will fix some of the problems, but that's assuming they're software related. I'm personally wondering if it's a problem with the antenna placement. Some carriers like Sprint in the US have had so many complaints, they have issued special patches. Keep checking the forum and hopefully a solution will be found.

Thanks, I really hope it's a software problem. Sometimes even my Bluetooth connection to the car breaks up. It's like the radio is unstable and reacts when stressed.

My S6 had a poor signal from day 1, it fluctuated a lot and couldn't hold onto network signal well. I sent it for repair to Samsung and I am picking it up tomorrow (they said they have repaired it) so we will see. Maybe everyone needs to send in their device to get repaired.
Same thing happening with my wife's AT&T S6 Edge. The S4 never had the issues in the areas the S6 is having problems with.
Maybe everyone needs to send in their device to get repaired.
It's unbelievable. Samsung is really testing our patience with this device.
- display tinting
- bad reception
- scratches out of the box
- inconsistent home button and volume keys
What's next?

I have none of these issues barring tiny tint on display. They aren't testing my patience. American carriers are notorious for dodgy reception and signal and dodgy software.
Doubt it's the carriers fault. I'm in europe and I'm having crazy dropped calls everyday

Device came back UNREPAIRED! Guess what?! They replaced the display assembly and camera lens cover!! These things were not faulty, not even the issue I sent the device in for. There's no engineer notes other than telling me the display and camera lens cover was replaced and the repair is completed. They didn't even look at the issue I sent the device in for which is poor signal, and the issue still exists!
I've booked it in for repair again! Samsung didn't understand why the repair centre didn't even look at or mention the issue I sent it in for so they booked it in for a "soak test". It's an "Authorized Samsung Repair Centre" that the phone goes to, not actually Samsung themselves. I called the actual repair centre and they told me that their engineers do not read the notes, they just go through a certain procedure with all devices and repair anything they find to be faulty. They said the screen and lens cover may have been replaced because they could have been damaged upon the engineers opening the device.
It's just poor service, very very poor service for a brand new device.
That's depressing. Exactly why I didn't send in my device. Sorry to hear!

My G920FD (Dual Sim) has same problem in Europe, poor reception on 3G and 4G , signal level fluctuated, on GSM i have a lot of call droppings. The phone working well only in the places where the signal strength is very good.
Still can't see that it's the phone. I'm in the UK on O2 network and even when signal is on 1 or no bars I get 0 dropped calls barring one which was the other party in a dodgy signal area. Faulty phones maybe, but general issue with the phone, no way.
I think the amount of replies to this thread proves my point
My phone works just fine now after flashing the latest 1.4 rom with custom kernel.
I'm sure it's a software problem
