I have been using Darky's rom for 2 weeks now, and am suddenly having issues with my data connection, and signal strength. The data signal drops from a H to an E randomly, and even on a H is getting 400kbs..
I love the rom, and want to keep using it as its soooo much better then the crap samsung put out.
Has anyone had similar issues, or know of ways for me to address this issue.....
I am on o2 UK if it helps
All advice is welcome!

I've been having a signal problem on 9.3b3. I'll have a few bars but it'll say emergency calls only. Those are places i've had service before. Not sure what's causing it. I'm on bell canada using the jl2 modem wich is what I always use.

For posting in the main thread I would but you need 10 posts before they'll let you and since I usually read and search for the answer to my problems I don't have that many. I had serious battery drain on darkly 9.2 but with 9.3 b1 and b3 its all good. Just the signal but im playing with it so will just have to test it again.

^^ yeah you need at least 10 posts in any other thread to be able to post on development thread.
Regarding OP issue its kinda weird Ive been running on v9.3 b3 since release and no trouble since then. did you try re-flashing / wiping?
ive had this problem last week, contants flickin from 3g to E to H made the phone pretty unuseable . wot i did was go in the secret codes on sgstools n switched the HSDPA/HSUPA off n reboot phone , then bk in sgstools change it again HSDPA ONLY then reboot , and once again bk into sgstools change it again to HSPA OFF reboot again , then finaly bk ito again and set to bk HSDPA/HSUPA on.
i admit not sure if this correct or not but after l messed around with settings it has seamed to sort it self out, did notice 1 thing battery seamed to last longer with HSPA off .
Im on orange uk , hope that helps

wow, i frequently travel with my phone and i've never experienced that issue. i would try flashing a stable ROM (like Trigger, Bionix, Axura; the 2.2s since they're near perfect compared to the 2.2.1s and GB ROMs) and if that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue.
really hope not. Gonna rty to flash trigger right now!! Hopefully it solves the issues!
I was just thinking on this issue and here's something I should've asked earlier:
How old is the SIM that you're using? If you are having trouble gaining signal with the phone, maybe your SIM could be old or damaged. It's a long shot, but it's something to be considered (I think). I mean, if you had no troubles finding the signal, then maybe the cut on/shut off problem will stop.
Thanks Ill bring my phone in to my provider and test another sim card! hopefully this solves it!
Title says it all, can't download faster than 2 MB/s, has anyone else got this problem?
Before installing the new baseband I could get speeds of 7 Meg quite easily, I going to try installing an old baseband on the new firmware to see if that fixes anything.
I tried searching but found no mention of this. (Found lots of helpful "use the search function" posts, do people realise that people using the search have to go though so many of these to find anything relevant.)
Update: Flashed .61 baseband and no probs, need somewhere with better signal to test the speed.
interesting....let everyone know your results
I have been having issue's were the device will not go into 3G i get Edge and the H but no 3G.
no probs here

Well under any circumstances HSDPA is better than 3G.
So don't see the problem.

Plus, the phone tends to use the best connection available.
If H is available, why would it connect to 3G?
I can only get 3G and H ... It's drains pretty fast battery -.-
7mb/s over HSDPA/3G or WiFi? That is amazing if your down speed is that much, even in Percival from Highrule's guide to 3.5g, people were not getting anything close to 7mb/s down.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951765
That is amazing if your phone can handle those speeds over HSDPA/3G. Can you provide us with some screen shots and any mods that you did?
Thanks!
It might not if been quite 7, but was def over 6. The signal is so bad here I only get 56k modem speeds. Hopefully flashing the older baseband fixed the prob and I'll post screens next time I go into town.
I read a post from Z, if my mind don't fail, saying that baseband restrict for country.. is there any specific baseband for South Africa?

so far.. 61 & 67 work well in S.A.
Okay, since the X10 supports HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, I have no idea what Megs you are talking about.
Under perfect circumstances your max is 7.2/8 = 0.9MB/s, so I'm confused.
Obviously mega bits.
So no 1 else with this prob?
Tried in manchester (big uk city) center in 3 places and can't even get 2 meg now, but not far off.
Might try another baseband, prob go back to the 1 before I upgraded to .67 wish I hadn't bothered, caused loads of probs and the battery life and performance hasn't improved like many said.
It's your signal, no baseband restriction, maybe and just a would guess.....have you tried wiping your caches in recovery??

Not installed X recovery, is it just dalvik catch I should wipe? Theres not much on the catch partition anyway.
I'll try that and re-test. Cheers

It's probably just that baseband in your particular area.

If you're in the affected area, maybe update your PRL and see if that gets it back on track? Or maybe it's just all the new speedy users in Atlanta sucking the bandwidth from the rest of us ;]
Heres the thing I live in McDonough (metro ATL) and work in ATL, since this service has been turned on, it seems like the penetration is so much worse, no signal in any building. I'm no noob, so I have done everything I know how to reset the signal, nothing works, 3 phones. And many other friends have the same problem. I'll be complaining to Sprint soon. Now when I'm outside I get a great signal, with the same speed as before this service was turned on, so take that as you will.

Actually I have all the modems on my sdcard, and now the fb27 thanks to calkulin. Ive always had the best results for signal strength with eg31, best speed with fb21. Just installed fb27, but it hasnt helped the problem Im seeing, this is with my touch and 3 og epics (brother, mom, my og epic). Im also seeing when indoors and use an internet speed test app its choosing out of state servers, but when outside and I have a signal it is choosing a close location, but still jumps from 3/4/5 bars to no bars, and internet speeds drop out about every 15secs for 5 secs. Everything Im saying is well tested on 4 phones, and 1 in 2 places by me, still seeing the same thing. This is either being worked on or just the way the new signal is pulsing.

Where did you get the other modems? i thought we only had fb15?!?
jeeps, I hope they increase their 3g speeds because this has been hard to deal with. Sometimes I wonder how they get off charging people so much a month for utter crap.

You can use any of the modems we have for the og epic, around 11, I didnt count, but close to that. Look for the modem thread qbking77 has on the dev page.

I suspect it's the radio. I keep getting crappy signal apparently with the Panache stock recently. It's taken to a new level now with no service out in the middle of the street. Is there anything I can do than try to switch radios? Even right now, I keep getting switched from 3G to HSPA+.

Radio controls all network communication. Just be careful when changing it. Make sure you verify the md5.

Radio Issue
I have a MT4G running 4.2.2 on LiquidSmooth and I cant get anything over 3g even in areas where I previously had awesome 4g service (on stock 2.3.4). I checked my md5 and it does not match any other radio/baseband's md5. I'd really like my 4g back but I also don't want to brick my phone. Currently my md5 is showing up as 60de66c8b88d27b9a3bbae385b7f71dc and have yet to find one anywhere to match it. I am fairly new to rooting androids ( I had an iPhone for like 5 years and I just got fed up with the limitations even when it was jailbroken) I read a forum about extracting the radio.img from a stock rom but I was still iffy about the md5 not matching. Absolutely any advice would be great. Thanks in advance (and apologies in advance if I somehow posted this in the wrong place or something)

:sigh:
"4G" and 3G use the same hardware. None, I repeat, NONE of the available radios break "4G." What you're seeing is a difference in the icons used. Whereas the stock GB ROM simply shows "4G" when using HSPA+, the AOSP variants show 3G when idle and switch to H/H+ when data is being used. There is nothing you need to change. It's a gimmick that often evokes a placebo effect.

Thanks for the quick reply and thank you again for clarifying that. But when I ran speed test my download speed is showing around 350kb/s when I usually get around 1.5 mb/s. I recently asked my friends in the area that also have t mobile and they said they've experienced a decent loss in speed/signal just in the past month or so. So is it possible that another baseband might increase my signal strength at least? Because if it's not possible/effective than I feel like I'd be wasting time trying to fix my md5 issue.

If you're worried about the radio, download a different one, verify the md5 ON THAT DOWNLOAD and flash it. Feel free to report the speed difference, if there is one.
If someone can find a solution to this, seriously, you're a master.
I was running CM build from the 6 January (stock kernel). And suddenly, during the afternoon, my data started to be slow.
Here I have a contract for 7.2mbps. I'm usually arround 6.5-7.2mpbs. Never really goes down 5mbps. So I ran a speed test. I was at 0.1mbps. I thought "this should be a little problem, nothing to worry about". I was wrong, so wrong. After that I flashed the CM build from today.
Hours later, after many speedtest, I was still at 0.1mbps and I started to think that this is really weird. So I phoned to my network and they told me there's no network problem at all where I live (should be true, no friends asked me about this).
So, obviously, I flashed another ROM, AOKP. Still ultra slow data. I flashed Paranoid Android, still super slow data.
I took off my SIM carte and I put it on my old HTC Sensation. Guess what, data was working perfectly. At this point I started to get crazy lol.
Maybe some corrupted data ? Let's flash the factory.img
I flashed via fastboot the factory.img, ran a speed test.... STILL SUPER SLOW DATA.
I should add that we don't have any data-cap here (and the Sensation proved it).
I thought, maybe the 3G is hardware broken ? No. I'm still seeing H+ and 3G on my status bar. More weird stuff ? alright ! Ping is excellent (about 40ms) and upload speed... is like it always been, arround 1mbps (that's the number in my contract too).
So now, i'm completely lost (and tired, it's 2am).
If someone, whatever the idea is, could help me, it would be awesome.

Good idea too, but already tried 3 and they all gave me the same result.
Do you guys think it's hardware ?
Try re-registering onto your mobile network. Or try registering manually instead.
I had a weird issue where my phone would switch to cdma on its own. try *#*#4636#*#* and playing around with settings there.
Try flashing back stock and factory reset.
Make sure your sim card tray is fully inserted.

If you've flashed other roms, then it's obviously not a software issue, maybe there's work on your local mast. Is the speed difference only in the speedtest app, or do you notice it in normal usage?
So later yesterday I called the customer service. They confirmed that they have no network issue at all.
It started at 16:00 pm and yesterday night, at 3:00 am (when I was about to sleep, finally ) still ultra slow data speed.
I woke up this morning at 7:00 am, tried again a test, still slow data speed.
So I went to my office, I was in at 8:00 am and I ran a test again and... BOOM ! 6.8mbps ! And it works now without any problem.
Morality : Don't miss work. lol
But to be honnest, I really don't understand what happened. I have no clue what this can be. Anyway, it works now and I hope it won't happen again.
Btw, big thanks to everyone who answered, we have some great people here
