New Ics modem ulc2 crappy?

Anyone else notice new modem not good? Is this a phone thing. I notice wifi not strong as used be could be the ROM or is there trick make sure modem works right or would I be better off with ucl4

Go with the second ICS leak UCLD2 which has a much improved radio.

I am not getting great speeds on the UCLD2 but seems to be getting better as it settles over a few days.
It has been slowing my Wi-Fi as well but shouldn't as the kernal is what handles it. Im scratching my head about it as well but I am investigating it!

I have been stuck on oil rig in BFE and only have edge service, but the reception seems to be better for the phone side of it since flashing UCL2.
I don't know if it has anything to do with ULC2 or not but my GPS signal seems to take a lot longer to lock on?

Some radios work better in certain areas than others. When I had the Captivate there were so many radios available (with varying results based on location) that someone started a map for people to report the best working radios in their area: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227717
I'm finding UCLD2 isn't working so hot for me where I live (harder to get a good signal than UCLC4) but I'm willing to deal with it until a new one comes out.
Whatever you do, stay away from the Note modem that people have been flashing and borking their phones with...

Or use the leeC UCLA3 modem. It has the unknown bug, but connectivity is good for pretty much everyone. LB7 is also good if u have no lte

[Q] HTC Sensation random reboot & battery drain

Hey,
I had this problem now for very long time (actually more than 1year) and I tried all the solutions that were proposed in other threads specially this one that reduced the number of reboot but not totally
What I remarked is that when the phone is on the edge of the cell on 3G and trying to move to 2G it will automatically reset especially when the battery is below 50%.
I tried locking the phone on 3G and the number of reset has reduced but the downside of this is that I don't have most of the time connectivity (all the way in the metro for example).
Does anybody know if there is custom ROM or Kernel or Radio (I don't which part do control this) that deal with this issue?
I was running ARHD 6.7(and previous versions) with recommended radio till this morning and now I'm on CM9.
I changed the battery to Anker 1700 so the issue is not coming from the battery.
My phone was bought from French Operator Bytel (SN : SH169V..... if it helps)
Sorry for this long Message

Have you tried get Ril? It's an application in the play store that's a great app. It will let you know if your ril is matching your radio, and if it is not matching it recommends and downloads a matching ril. This really helped me a lot. I was getting a pretty weak signal and found out my ril was not matching my radio. Once I downloaded the matching ril, my signal went from one bar to four and five bars! I was pretty amazed on what a difference it made for me. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try and see if it helps you. If not you can also change your radio and ril yourself and see if you can come up with a better signal. Thing with radio is we all live in different areas so it must be experimented with by you because what works for me might not work in your area. You would start by looking in the generic ics radios and matching rils. Remember your radio now so you can return to it if need be. But before I'd change my whole radio do try Get ril. Hopefully it will make a positive difference for you! Also I believe you must be s off to change radio. Don't know if your s on, or off? But give get ril a try and see how that goes. Best wishes. Hope this was helpful.

I tried the App GetRIL and it says RIL/baseband is matching (RIL 4.0.0013HMQ, 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504...)
Thanks anyway :good:.
I'm just wondering if it's not a HW or firmware defect on the serie of my phone (no limitation on the power usage during IRAT HO).
BTW I didnt get a reboot with CM9 till now but I'm in well covered area, I will see if it crashes again when i'm on the edge of the cell.

Had exactly the same thing last week, purchased a new battery and now the problem has gone away
Looking at the old battery you could see it was swollen
I picked up a battery new for £5 off ebay

I have already changed the battery and the issue is still happening. Anyway with the new ROM it looks stable so far.
I will test it for some days and see if it will happen again

CM Definitely solved the issue

It looks like it's something related to Sense based ROM. with CM it's not happening anymore

Hi walo1,
Which version of CM are you using?
I've installed CM9 on my Sensation some months ago and it worked for a while. But now I'm getting random reboots again...

Hi,
I was using CM9 Opensensation ROM XDA Page and I never got any random reset
Three days ago I flashed CM10 Opensensation2 and I started getting Random reset again
I have no idea what can be the cause but at least with CM9 I didn't see any reset after 1 week usage. I have to go back to CM9.

Yes I tried open sensation myself and although I didn't get rebooting, I had NO data connection!! Have you tried some of the other jelly bean roms? I really like paranoid Android by Dragun. It's fast and smooth like butter with tons of available customization! I have had zero problems with this rom. I'm using version 17. With kernel 3.0.53, and my battery life is excellent! You might want to give it a try? Best wishes to you.

It looks good, I will give it a try next weekend
Thanks

I think I'll try Paranoid Android too then. And that way I'll try JB too.

It's radio Issue
Finally I found what the problem is coming from
Changing the radio to the latest European version two month ago made the phone much more stable with using various versions of CM10.
The version I'm using now is : 11.76A.3504.00_11.24A.3504.31_M with the RIL provided by default in the rom(it shouldn't be impacting)
Hope this will also solve your problem.

Battery drain and signal issues

Hello guys, I've been having problems with my One S and i hope you can help me out.
I noticed lately that the signal has gotten A LOT worse than what it used to be. Its sort of on and off. Most of the time is gets bad and I have little to no bars, even in places where i used to get full reception. This is really becoming an issue, as T-Mobile coverage in my area is already bad enough.
I am running the latest version of the PAC Man ROM, though i don't think it's relevant since this was going on before i flashed it a few days ago. I did a search to see if i could flash another radio, but found nothing.
My second issue is my battery life. I went through the trouble of updating my hboot so i could run the latest version of my ROM that included the new 3.4 Kernel. I noticed ever since i flashed it, my battery life has been terrible. I know this is a known issue, but i don't run CM10 so i can't flash the nightlys that are supposed to fix it. Can anyone recommend a kernel?
here is the ROM I'm currently running: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164406

[Solved] CM11 Nightly Wi-Fi Range is Weak

Hey there!
I'm using the nightly release of CyanogenMod 11, the unified Motorola 8960 build on the XT926 (Verizon) variation of the phone.
My problem is that the WiFi range is much less than that of the stock build. While using CM11, I will get disconnected at some places in my house that I was getting a good connection for at stock.
I've tried restoring back to my stock firmware backup to confirm that it still works, and there is no issue there. I only have a problem with range using CM11.
I do get a fantastic connection elsewhere, closer to the router though.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful for them.
I'm thinking perhaps I could take the wireless drivers from the stock firmware and replace them with CM is using? I looked a bit for how to do that, but I had no luck there, and managed to break wifi completely! :laugh: (I made a backup first at least.) But if someone knows how to do it, that'd be great.
Thanks!
Edit: Both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are working excellently as of Nightly 7-31. Problem solved. Thanks everyone!

I'm seeing the same thing here, for what it's worth.
I don't think it's the drivers, though. There are a lot of configuration files that fine-tune WiFi, and I bet they haven't been optimized yet.
These are nightly builds, after all.
If I hadn't been having so much trouble with stock KitKat, I never would have flashed CM11. Overall, I'm much happier now.
You can go edit the xml files, or just wait for the next milestone, it should be better.
Or do what I do: keep flashing the nightlies, roll those dice again!
Android Tweaker 2 in the Play store, might be helpful.
Good luck!

I like CM11 quite a lot so far, and like you would rather use it over the stock ROM. But if I cannot connect at all places in the house, I'll have no choice but to go back for a while.
I'll definitely give that app a try and see what I can get out of it. Thanks!

This is a known problem in CM11. Hopefully it's being worked on.

I definitely have this problem, but more at work than at home. It works fine at home, even though the signal is weaker in some spots than it was under JB (even under stock KK, the WiFi signal is weaker than it was under JB).
Like others have said, I'm sure the devs will work on this. I keep flashing nightlies myself, and reading the change log to see if it addresses anything with the WiFi signal. I'm sure it will eventually get fixed.

Some news for the patient
By all means, get the 7-31 Nightly!
It has almost completely fixed the wifi issues for me. I hope it does the same for you!
I flashed cm-11-20140731-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip which I found at get.cm/get/inm
(Sorry, can't post a proper link...)
And most everything Just Works(tm).
Hope it works for you, too!
Good luck!

I agree. The WiFi strength at work seems so much better under the 7-31 nightly. No going back to stock now.

The Gummy Milestone 3 nightlies have had solid WiFi for a while now.

I'm glad someone replied to this thread, because I kept forgetting to come back and update it.
I noticed that around Nightly 7-26 or 7-27, the 5 Ghz N became stable and had excellent range. This is fantastic for me, because I have a 5 Ghz dual-band N router. And while this phone is advertised as dual-band N, it's never worked with the stock firmware. At least for me. N in 2.4 Ghz worked under stock, but that's not what I wanted. So I've been happily using CM11 since I found that was now working.
And as you and others have mentioned, 7-31 seems to have the 2.4 Ghz G network working smoothly now. (I swear it feels slightly slower than stock was, but it's probably my imagination after being used to the performance I've been getting on N.)

Current G3 D850 ROMS geared towards signal / reception performance

Hi im really new to this site and have been having problems getting consistent signal on my G3 D850 for calls. Is anyone aware of any recent custom roms that are geared towards signal / reception performance? I came across one called SPECTRUM but it seems this project was abandoned about a year ago. Would it still be logical to use that rom or can anyone suggest one? Ive been putting up with this issue since i bought the phone 4 months ago or so and its really starting to get to me. I can text and use data fine but when it comes to making or receiving calls i want to throw the thing out the window.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with this!

For best reception use 100% stock firmware. That's about as best as it gets.

The 7.1 build of the N&N rom was by far the best signal I (and others) ever saw for the D850. Nothing came close, and while it is no longer developed it's still a solid choice.

This confuses me so much. Why does this particular ROM have increased reception? Moreover, why does it only have increased reception up to the 7.1 version, and then the 8.0 and 10.0 seem to tank it?
Is there a different modem involved? can it be installed elsewhere on other roms?

Not the faintest idea, and no one really knows. Much has been speculated, from build.prop tweaks (not it) to system libs and files (most likely).

N&N? What rom is that? To find and test please.
