I just want to know if their is any kind of build prop tweaks to increase mobile data connection.. I live in Chicago get great T-Mobile LTE service (see screen shots) but don't seem to have strong connection.. Or does having connection full green not matter ? I remember on my GS3 there was fee build prop tweaks to fix that .. Also I'm on cataclysm rom with faux 014u kernel

Try flashing the .17 or .15 radio. It seems to help LTE performance.
so whats wrong with your data speed, its better than many other people get?
Nothing is wrong with it I was just wondering if the signal could get better/ stronger .. Like a green bar.. Not that weak yellow I was just wondering

the signal varies depending on your personal location. it can vary a few steps from one spot to another, time of day, and depending on how busy your local network is. theres nothing that with help you with your signal. from the looks of it, your data signal is good.
Thanks guys I was just curious To see if better signal will get me better battery life.. battery life is good but you know gotta always want more

better signal will get you better battery life, 100%. but you should be in the better range, as you are right now

Has anyone had any cell service issues equivalent to that of an old iPhone?
It seems that if I hold my phone like a normal person I loose all service. Its better if I take the back cover off. I have also noticed NFC does not work with my back cover on. Has anyone else had these issues?

I have noticed simular issues in areas where signal is weak. Im thinking weak samsung radio or bad antenna design.

Im having poor signal myself. Hopefully another baseband update will help
My signal drops in and out every few minutes or so while I am at home in mediocre 3G. Super frustrating. However, when I am in a good 4G zone no worries.
This has been accentuated by moving to CM, I really hope the RIL fixes will help...

Hi friends!
I Found that in Moscow my phone have battery life 3-4 time worse that in US with same or less usage
I think it is a radio issue, but I try many radios (rojers, tellus, blaze, att5 & 6) withouth a seriouse effects.
Can You suggest me somethink?
Thank You!
P.S. i'm on SKYICS dragon 2.8 with Cymbalin kernel 2.6 tuned (UV, UC, intellidemand, deadline).

What you signal dbm? You can find it under settings>about phone>status or download network signal from the market. Also you could try a RAT unlocked radio and pick a specific band+frequency which will give you the best reception to your area. Furthermore download better battery stats and check how long is your phone sleeping.
Now I have -101 dbm. It is a typicaly value.

-101 is the equivalent of 2 bars, that's what I get at home and it does drain more battery but I don't think you should be getting as much drain as you're experiencing. Maybe they run on different frequencies there and you need to get a radio/unlocked rat that can lock out all the other frequencies. Try the Rogers radio maybe.
Edit: Just saw you mentioned that you have tried Rogers. What data are you getting there? 2G/Edge, 3G, 3.5/4G or LTE? Force it to whatever the best you get is.
Does anyone else have an issue where the LTE signal is not reestablished after a phone call? I have to reboot my phone to get the LTE signal back, otherwise it remains on HSPA+. I am in an area with full LTE signal (all bars). This is driving me crazy...

When a call gets routed through it uses the HSPA+ or HSPA or EDGE network to handle calls currently LTE does not do this so it may take awhile to reestablish your connection thou lte again
It NEVER reestablishes the connection though, stays on H.

I have no idea then, after about 30 seconds on T-Mobile the LTE returns again after being on H

Have you just tried throwing it in airplane mode for a second to kill the radio and see if it pulls and LTE connection after? I'm on AT&T and every once in awhile I'll have to do that when switching between cell towers while driving.
hmmm... that's strange, you shouldn't have to do anything. mine goes on H during the call, as soon as end the call it immediately (about a second) switches back to LTE. I'm not rooted or anything. everything is stock.
not sure if this will help but try doing factory reset and clear cache and such?
it would be easier if you gave us more details.
Custom ROM? kernel? rooted?
Everything is completely stock, never rooted etc. Seems to be slightly improved today. It has actually come back into LTE a couple times without rebooting. I've also tried the airplane trick a couple times and that has worked on occasion as well. Still hit or miss so I may just RMA it. Appreciate everyone's help!

Don't mean to necro this thread, but just looking for some additional input.
RMAd my device and the new one exhibits the same behavior which leads me to believe it's the network in my area. Anyone ever experience the same thing especially in area with new LTE?

I went through it. I just need help with the voltages and all that. The best settings for battery life.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
battery life isnt really about what kernel you use. battery life is all about how you use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and most importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection. sure, a kernel might be able to help you get slightly better battery. but its really your use and your signal. and if your signal is bad quality, then your battery will always suffer.
"Good battery life" does not apply to "everybody" that has rooted. Many root and simply expect that battery life must be improved, but still need to understand the basic laws of physics first.
(People's definition of "Good" in this scenario also varies massively...)
It comes down to how you use the device. There is no 'best settings' you should be looking for. Save yourself the time, and first understand what is using your battery.
SOT is a measurement, but a crude one. It offers no insight into what those 6 hours were doing...You can be certain that it wasn't 6 hours gaming at 100% brightness though. Under relatively light CPU load, low brightness, good signal etc...the laws of physics will explain higher SOT...

this past week some people were having problems with the battery life on CM11 ROM, but it seems it's been fixed on the nightly version, try downloading greenify so you can put those annoying battery eating apps to sleep

What I did to improve my battery life was to deny most of the Google apps from waking my device and/or keeping my device awake. I have attached pictures. This improved my battery by atleast double. Also using 2g connection when connected to WiFi.
Those denied numbers have risen to 6 digits.

So you want to maximize your battery
i. Decrease your brightness level to the a good level. It should be 20% if you are in a room
ii. Switch off the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS if not in use, since they consume battery a lot
iii. Don't install any useless app since they may consume the battery even if the phone is locked
iv. Frequently, close the app which you have used, since they're running in the background and eat up your battery
May be this help you
Hit thanks if helped
Lower screen brightness and disconnect WiFi and 3g/4g connection when you don't need an internet connection.
