Is there anything to rectify the signal issues on the niki?
I have touch which has fine signal and dual which always loses signal gms and 3g.
they are both in the same place and i get drop outs from one second to the next.
I dont think i am running a special rom other than the original orange uk rom. i could be wrong mind...
same issue here
i am running nikki,s rom now and have tryed every radio on my mda touch plus but signal is very bad al the time with every radio version i think it is a issue off this phone or does anybody have tips to improve signal.

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Exec with the latest ROM version, on an Orange Pay Monthly SIM.
Anyway, im having two annoying problems with it;
Firstly, every now and then, if you have a few programs open and close them all, it wont go back to the Today page!! It will just keep the image of the last application on the screen! Today wont even come up if you goto Start > Today. Everything else works fine though, can open any programs etc from the Start Menu :?:
Secondly, the phone signal is rubbish!!! My old SPV C600 had no problems with signal (also running WM5), this one has low signal/looses signal all the time! And after a while it will just stop searching for signal, so i have to go to settings and tell it to search again!!! I constatly have errors trying to send messages due to no signal, and cant make calls due to no signal!! Also i dont recieve texts alot aswell! Which is un-acceptable from a device that is meant to be a "mobile phone" :roll:
Any ideas to solve?! Please help me!!
Thanks

Hey Matt
what are your ROM versions? especially interesting in this case would be the Radio version. I think people round here have mentioned that different Radio versions have different signal reception levels.
I am using the O2 XDA 1.30 version with stock radio 1.00.09 and basically the reception's fine. There have been some comparisons on this forum as to different radio versions strengths and weaknesses.
Hi very similar to me, I switched off the 3G usage so it only uses 2G and everything was perfect again.
Now I only use 3G as and when I need it.
The problem as I see it, is that if there is a 3G signal, which in Orange's case appears to be nearly all the time the phone sticks with 3G even thought the signal strength isnt good enough fo voice, but is good enough for data (mainly because you tend not to be walking around) because of this the switching between 2G and 3G doesnt take place, hence no calls
Since swtiching of 3G my phone operations have been perfect.
I switched my Radio ROM from 1.03 (Orange Default) to 1.09 and noticed an improvement. Where I had no signal, it would flick between a signal with no bars and 1 bar with the 1.09 ROM.

As soon as i got the XDA i upgraded it to the latest O2 Rom, which has 1.09 Radio Rom... so i dont have anything to compare to!!
Any more suggestions?
turn off 3G if you dont need it.
send it back, you may have a loose connection.
are you saying a bad connection 100% of the time? ie you never have full bars?
Ok i'll try turning the 3G off (seeing as my SIM doesnt have 3G capability anyway! lol) How do i go about doing that?!
I do get full signal in places yes, its just the signal is utter crap on this phone compared to all of my past ones! Compared to an SPV C500 & C600 its rubbish!
start - settings - phone - band
change to your standard not auto. probably gsm rather than cdma.
do you get a bad reception with4 bars?
either way, I must say I have no problem with phone, but acknowledge many report poor phone performance.
Hi,
I recently bought a used O2 Atom, and the first thing I made was to upgrade the latest ROM (Oct2006).
Sometimes it looses the GSM signal, even if the PPC is on the table in standby mode, it just tell me "No signal", the "antenna" in title bar keeps with no bars.
I'm about to downgrade to the an older ROM (20060426), but I'm unsure if it as hardware problem or a incompatible ROM.
Anybody experienced something like that?
thank you
Aldoir
Confirmed
20060426B1WWE_RS00049 (the original one) works fine
20060426B1WWE_RS00052 (Oct2006) the radio becomes unstable ;(
I had purchased a second hand o2 xda neo. It had wm 5 on it . I updates it with wm 6.1 roms available here.I find that the gsm reception is very poor inside my home.I dont know whether this happened after the update. In my office it is quite good. Even when I am outside i have no problem. Only in my home the signal is very weak. can this be corrected by some registry tweaks or some software. or is it a hardware problem. and if so can i get it repaired. pls help...
what rom are you using and what radio was recommended for use with it. Sounds like a radio issue to me but plz tell me rom and radio. you can experiment using different radios found on the wiki to see whatworks best.
you can flash different radios without loosing data on the device.
I have tried with 2.19, 2.47, 2.69 roms. but no effect. I am trying today 2.07 let me see if that helps. Does IPL/SPL effect the singnal strength?
mmm it might be just one of those things, in that there is interferance within your house (my house is made from granite so reception is very poor), if recpetion is good elsewhere it is unlikely to be radio.
Is there 3G network there? The quality of service on 3G can be unpredictable at best of times.
Signal is not effected by IPL/SPL to my knowledge.
The results of 2.07.20 radio rom. It shows good signal but i feel that it does not update it when the signal is poor. In my office signal is good. So it showed full strength. I went home. There too it showed full strength. when i did soft rest to clear my doubt the signal was poor as in previous roms. Do you think that the antenna has some problem. Can it be replaced. i find an opening above the mirror( near the camers lens) for car antenna. Can this help? if so how?. 3G network is not available in my country(INDIA)
hey,
i think u might have to accept that the signal is just crap in your house... a bummer i know, but if youve tried various radios and signal is good elsewhere, it cant be the internal ariel.
have u tried flashing another rom, more recent build?
Not sure it will help but you never know... at the end of the day, signal is never constant in any one place.
But friend. The signal is good in other phones. If the signal is crap then it should affect other phones too.
I should have also said that the signal is never constant betwenn too phones in the same place. It depends on antenna hardware and the location of it, like signal is reduced whislt making a call if you place your hand and fingers in the wrong place.
I think it unlikely that is a hardware issue if your signal is fine in other areas. Sorry my friend i dont know what else to suggest having tried radios and roms.
The prophet is getting a little long in the tooth now, so be time for an update?
Hello, I have been having some serious reception issues with my G1. Have tried the latest radio rom and a cople of cyanogen roms and super d all the same. I also got a new sim card thinking it was from that to no avail. All the other phones don't have any issues connecting only my G1. I mostly get up to 2 bars and then drop down to No service again. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
What radio do you have? Is it just signal bars? Or 3g also?
sent from my superfroyo dream
I have radio 2.22.23.02 And its with anything 2G or 3G
Problem seems to have gone after a hard reset and flashing superfroyo .
Now I'm having another issues with the gps. The signal is very weak and can barely ever get my location. Never had this problem before with Super D, anyone knows how to fix this ? (apart from rolling back to Super D) Maybe there is some way to increase the power or something? Thanks
Edit: Fixed it by using this tutorial: http://wccftech.com/2010/09/09/solving-gps-nofix-problem-cyanogenmod-6-nexus/
I have HTC desire HD for almost one month but from time to time it loose data connection. If it would drop from 3g to EDGE or even GPRS than I would understand. But it loose signal completely and even restarting phone doesnt help. I am using Android Revolution HD 1.4 ROM.. After few hours I get reception back. Any idea how to figure out where is a problem? I am afraid that is problem hw problem anyone experienced same problem? My old HTC Touch Diamond with same SIM and on same location gets signal though. BTW telephone signal strenght is 91 dBm 11asu and it says type of mobile network: HSDPA
thanks
if it software i think the only thing you could do is flash another radio img to fix it but that's a very risky process to do and high chance you can brick your phone. if you always had the problem from very start and had another 3g phone work in same location. i would say it has to be hardware problem an take your phone back from were you got it or send it to HTC to get repaired. im in u.k an i get around the same signal strength as you but never lose signal all together unless in location i can't get a signal. only other thing you could check is your battery cover as someone mentioned if that's not on right you lose signal?? don't know how right that is.
