So, seems my signal is sitting on one to no bars all the time ( -98 to -101 dBm )
Is there any way to boost this? I'm getting worse reception now than ever before.
You can edit your task bar to always show full signal.

OH AWESOME!

I thought I would share my recent findings with all of you as it appears battery consumption is a hot topic. First of all I've never had a probem with battery consumption on my DHD, I've always been happy and I'm still happy. This is just an observation.
In my house I have a good wifi signal everywhere except in my bedroom, when I'm lying in bed it can lose connection every now and then, this has not really been a problem until 2.3. It's as simple as this, if I leave wifi on with a fully charged battery next to my bed the next morning there is 10-15% battery left, if I turn wifi off then the next morning there will be 75-85% battery left.
If I'm at work with wifi on all day even though it's not connected to a wifi connection when I go home there is still at least 60% left. Clearly if you leave wifi on connected to a network and the signal drops out every now and then or if the signal is poor expect your battery to be exhausted in no time. Leaving wifi on is not the problem, well in my case it isn't, it all depends on the signal strength of what you connecting to.
Same here . and if you have a good wifi signal the battery life is much much way better than using 3g connection

This is normal behaviour, when wifi is on it will try to reconnect if it loses network, hence in your case it is continually reconnecting to the wifi and draining the battery, if this is a new issue with 2.3 it may be curable by flashing one of the older radios as it may be an issue with the new radio?
same probllem
i have the same problem with my DHD, i have stock rooted rom 2.3.3, and my bettery is draining at an alarming rate, cause it always trying to reconnect to wifi network. but the main prb is that wifi signal is strong, as my laptop has excellent signal, but my phone is strange, sometimes it has full signal, sometimes it drops and completely disconnects from wifi. as i move it arround a bit it reconnects. if i flash an older radio will it resolve this prb? and how do i flash an older radio?

You need to be Radio S-OFF to flash the radio, but if you didn't have the problem previously just try downgrading with one of the RUU's listed here
which will re-flash the older radio which should put you back to before the upgrade, a work round for now is to turn wi-fi off when not actually using it at least for now. BTW this problem doesn't appear to be present in the GB custom rom's so must be some tweak by HTC that has gone awry.
i've searched trough the forum and found some answers. htc made gb drop wifi connection when the signal drops bellow -88dcbl. cusom roms have a drop limit of 101dcbl. i was on stock (only rooted) GB 2.3.3 . I've downloaded kingdoms custom rom v1.7 intalled it but i get blank screen, only wallpaper, and can't get any further. like unlocking screen and getting in to the menu. would you recommend a custom rom that's most stable for DHD? btw my phone is rooted and all OFF. i flashed like... 4 radios all the same problem, so... stock roms are no good.

Do not need to change a custom ROM, and there is a wifi connection fix (decrease the drop threshold) flashable patch zip.
Sorry I have forgotten where is it, but I think you can search and find it among the forum.

CM 7 all the way for me, and if you must have sense ARHD is supposedly very good
Use wifi timeout app so phone can sleep properly, without significant drain.

i use coredroid v7.0 now... and it's the best rom till now, i've tested 80% or custom roms on this forum. it's the most stable and complete rom. i'm sticking to it.
Hi,
iam using runnymede 6.0.4.1 (sense3.5 and rcteam tweaks & alpharev hboot + 4extrecovery).
i flashed a custom statusbar with uot kitchen, all icons work except the signal strength bars, which are still white.
ive noticed that ive 5 signal bars, but usually there are 4?
how can i replace those bars?
I recently swapped my HTC One for a GS4, and so far have be very pleased with the deal. The exceptional build quality and forward-facing speakers of the ONE couldn't make up for the poor LTE reception and crappy camera. In any case, I've got my phone tweaked to near perfection with one small exception... the battery icon. I've been a fan of the colored circle percentage icon and all my previous phones had a mod available for it, but I'm coming up empty on the GS4. I'm running the Trinity ROM, which has a standard icon and managed to tweak it to a white circle with Wanam Xposed, but not the colored outer circle. I've also tried using ROM Toolbox Pro (which offers that battery mod), but nothing sticks.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

try the xposed module gravity box.....you can change your battery icon and also change colors as well. heres a link to dl the xposed installer APKhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 oce you get in installed goto the modules section and get gravity box.......theres also alot of other cool modules avaliable through the installer that you might like as well.
I couldn't find the gravity box module, but I did find the XBattery Themer battery mod. Worked great!
THANKS!
I've been testing some AOSP Roms and really liked them. But there are problems with GPS. I get a lock very fast but then the accuracy is going up and down and i keep loosing signal (setting is GPS only).
Gone back to stock and get always good accuracy (setting also GPS only).
With nokia here maps you can see it very good as there is a green circle around your position and if the circle is getting bigger accuracy is getting worse. On AOSP the circle keeps getting bigger and smaler. On stock it's staying smal.
Any ideas how to improve as I'd really like staying on AOSP.
