[Q] Signal problems

Hi, i was trying to install a custom rom but when i installed the BASEBAND 54 X10i of this thread HERE
Can anyone explain me how to do it well ?
Thnx.

think that the ;last baseband is bugged, I've seen my phone losing signal even more times than before

i think, maybe some basebands work better in certain regions and certain carriers. different signal, different bands and strengths.. not truly sure, but it makes since why some areas get specific updates while some do not..??

You're right... I flashed a dumped baseband version from my cousin's Vibrant to mine, and it fixed the issues.

If your after a guide of how to flash iv got just the thing in my sig, click the link ;-)

This is not my case, i've tried with sense roms and cyanogen and i've not find diferrence with the signal.

It seems to be godd for me to remain at 6.35.08.22, good wifi recever and nice gsm signal (it's not perfect but it's good)

Fixed ... for my HTC hero it was an hardware problem...

Random loss of reception?

Anyone experiencing this? Sometimes ill be on the internet for an hour then randomly my signal will drop and after a minute or so it will come back. Also if I haven't used my phone for awhile and right when I'm about to Google something the internet cuts off then comes back a minute later.
Im trying to figure out if its my phone or T-Mobile fault. Its not roms or radios because Ive tried a few different ones.

The op may not have answered his own question. I have similar issues with my phone. Found a few little glitches with how my phone reacts to firmware. I need to write up my findings in a new thread. Pretty interesting stuff. I had a big issue that I was able to fix and it may work for a bunch more people too.

I domt think so, i have noticed, with stock, i get a strong 4g signal. BUt when i switch to different roms, the signal fluctuates.
I have tried: Darkside, creamed glacier, cm7, virtuous unity affinity quattro

Dclaw please share your findings!
Btw my gf also has a mytouch 4g but its stock unrooted and has the same problems as me.

Happens to me quite often. I'm running the latest radio and I think that's the problem for me. It never happened with the previous radio it had. Reason I haven't messed with it is because it works great in the city and I'm always on wifi at home. It bugs me because I send a text and signal drops to 0, "message not sent, will resend when data services are available." back to 3 bars, then resends.

I have the Panache here in Canada through Mobilicity, basically the same phone with a different name, and this is a known issue with the entire batch they sold. I'm pretty sure it's a phone issue on HTC's part that doesn't seem to have a fix for it. I can't remember what the reason was exactly but google Panache no signal or something like that and you should be able to find it.

Random lost of signal
Hi erverybody,
"dclaw_fantum" said he found a suggestions for that, but what is it? I am with Mobilicity (Canada) too and I have the same issue with my phone (also the panache). My friend is also with mobilicity but has a different phone and not any problem like this. It is strange because I am having full reception and it just turns of... totally. At least there should be a GSM signal or WCDMA signal, but it just turns off. Sad that HTC is not trying to fix this, as it seems an issue for a lot of people. Greetings.

It has to do with your Rom that your using or Radio either or can be your problem.

MyTouch 4G with Wind here. Same issue.
Tried 3 different radios and 2 stock and one custom rom and I have the same problems.
I've been leaning towards the problem being a combination of the radio and the rom and how they interact with each other rather than just one of them as it doesn't seem to make any difference what combination of the two you use.
I'm not a developer though, so I might be way off...

Same issue here with a couple of stock MT4Gs on T-Mobile.

Signal help

So I bought this phone about a week ago, and have noticed something rather odd...the signal is never locked, it is either emergency calls only or mobile network not available or it does work...but when it does work it lasts for like 3 minutes... I live in Honduras and don't know what the issue might be.. I used to have a captivate and had the best signal one can ask for...any help?

Try flashing a different modem. Check siky_dudes thread in dev section.

silkys thread is only for cm7/cm9/miui modems!

Im running ics aokp milestone 4...the problem persists...is there any modem thread you guys can refer me to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

It'll not help to flash another rom or modem! I had the same problem, tried almost every modem/rom but couldn't solve it. I think one out of 100000 i9000's has signal problems.
I don't recommend to do this;
I used to solve it by plugging in an isolated copper wire into the coaxial input on the back of the device. Here's a link to the thread I started with two videos.

Dude, give that thing back if you can!! Nothing will help! You can do whatever you want, but you'll never achive more than 7-15% more signal and that's nothing relevant!!

i have same problem after new ICS updates it take like 1-3 minute to get network signal i tried different modems and still nothing

It has improved inside the city, i go to school outside of town and there I have no signal...at least I can call and text from home...

First of all you should determine what might have caused the error.
Signal problems can be caused by hardware, software or network provider:
- If the problem occurred after a software update (which is usually change the modem driver) You should flash back the old modem
- If you didn't update or change firmware or the modem it can be a hardware issue (dropped phone, water damage etc.) If you don't experience hw you wouldn't disassemble.Give it to someone who has experience in this topic.
- Sometimes signal problem can be cause by the network provider (network error or upgrade) It is usually temporary problem you have to wait and get good signal few hours/days later.
I hope I helped in the first step to get to the final solution.

Reflashing radio after flashing rom

I have been having bad signal and sluggish data speeds after flashing a rom. On any rom I was choosing actually. And then I decided to give it a try after almost 6 months of being rooted to reflash my current radio and I noticed immediately the difference.
Is this a known problem or am I the only one? I know flash my radio after every rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your radio is not altered when flashing a new ROM. By reflashing your radio after every ROM flash, you're only increasing the possibilities of something going wrong and leaving you with a brick. The radio is the most dangerous thing to mess with and radio flashing/reflashing should never be taken lightly.

But why is that I get signal drops and slow browser on every rom even on stock rooted
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your ROM does not touch the radio. The radio resides in a partition not touched by recovery.
Flashing a radio is dangerous. Failure = a bricked device.
I'm not sure why you're having this result, or if it is a placebo effect. All I know is ROM does not affect Radio performance

But I do notice a big difference in the time it takes to load a web page after reflashing my radio as well as no more signal drops

Did you flash the same radio version or a different one?

I just reflashed the same radio that was already on my phone

Shaky service in your area? Is WiFi like this too because it might be the hardware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Nope wifi is perfect, my wife has a sensation 4g which never has a call drop and we live in the Miami area and I would get call drops in the middle of the day in the city.
It happened on virtuous affinity (but I know sense 3.5 has kind of a problem with signal, correct me if I'm wrong), virtuous unity, lee Droid the latest one, everything. Until reflashing my radio I don't understand why.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

In Miami too... I just reflashed to the latest GB radio from Panache stock and it did feel like it was giving me better overall service. On Sense Roms though I do notice an occasional signal loss and then it comes back and a lot of times it's while sending SMS. After the last time going from Dark Unicorn back to ARHD I was not receiving some messages from my g/f and she wasn't getting some of mine, if I did they were late (that didn't make her happy, lol) but I think it is better now. Maybe it's T-Mobile, maybe my Android doesn't like her iPhone.

Actually I just flashed the latest version of miui.us v4 and I can say that it has the best signal on any rom I tried and didn't have to reflash my radio as compared to just changing from the last GB version of miui.us which needed a radio reflash
