Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the signal bar. Ever since i flashed Kenn's ginerbread beta
4.5, my signal always stays at 1 bar, though i think the actual signal isn't as low
as 1 bar. I just tried flashed alien #3, wiped version, same thing, nothing
changes. I was wondering if anyone has the similar problems? What should i do
to fix it?
Thanks!

I had that issue with Alien as well. I have a Bell Atrix so I just found the latest Bell radio and flashed that through CWM.
Thanks! I will try that!
Hey I am using International version Atrix. i try Bell radio and its work. Now signal bar can operate normally.

Hello,
I recently flashed the newest CM5.02 and it was fine. Then, yesterday in the middle of the day I noticed that my data had said E, which normally happens, but it never changed back to H (or 3g) no matter where I went, even to spots that I knew had full bars. Im in norcal, anyone else having this problem?
Yeah, mine does this all the time and I'm still stock. Are you on the newest radio as well as newest CM? This is my biggest radio issue.
Here at work where I don't get solid reception I see a lot of fluctuation HSPA to UTMS to EDGE and even down to GPRS sometimes which is fine, I am in a pretty solid bldg and my MT3G would slip as well. Issue is I can't get it back without doing what you did or switching between WCDMA Only then back to WCDMA Preferred basically anything to reset the radio. I notice this happens without fail if I take a call on it. I will lose all data connection until I hang up.
As well, when all this starts up real bad the phone will heat up quite a bit. When I leave my office things appear to be fine.
Didn't have this problem with the stock ROM

I'm using CyanogenMod 5.0.2 and radio 4.04.00.03_2 (from Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version), but I did NOT have this problem with the stock radio after the OTA update (4.03.00.21_2).
I posted a poll about this at Stuck on EDGE with CyanogenMod 5.0.2 until reboot.

How did you fix the issue in the first post?

That means you have the old ROM. The new one can be found on the CM5.0.2 page.
Also, in your first post, can you mention how you fixed your issue?
FYI: Reverting back to the old radio did not fix the issue.

I thought i fixed it by forcing it to search for networks then selecting t mobile, this was not a good solution as if it dropped it would not go back.
I had been using a custom version of TSowen's taskbar mod. It's worked great for a few months, but very recently the signal meter changed to what looks like something reminiscent of a broken jpeg icon (I can't find an image of it or I'd link it). If I uninstall the custom taskbar, the standard signal meter works great.
Now the odd thing is, if I try to install any other custom taskbar, the phone continues to display the standard signal meter next to the new custom icons for the rest of the taskbar.
I've searched and searched and can't seem to locate anyone else with a problem with their signal meter icon like this. I've tried hard resetting and even reflashing with the 6.5 Sprint rom, but this problem persists! My wife has the same phone with the same stock ROM and custom taskbar and hers works fine!
Anyone have any ideas of how to troubleshoot or resolve this? I'm stumped!
EDIT: The problem is still occurring. I thought it was fixed.
Myself and a couple other people experienced stange 3g connection problems while running the cm7 nightlies (among other ROMs) with the new HBOOT-0.35.0017. I know it's been said that HBOOT shouldn't have anything to do with your data connection but nonetheless it is causing problems.

I'm sorry to tell you, but hboot has NOTHING to do with the radio part of the phone: it controls the system partitions table and boots the system... nothing else, it doesn't even touch the RAM parts dedicated to the hardware, the kernel does it.
I almost made up my mind to downgrade until seen the edit part. 3g part of signal is very very frustrating experience on my side while call part rarely let it down. Also signal always in close to100 reading while my Acer liquid on T Mobile stays to perfect 75-80 reading.
I'm on HBOOT-0.35.0017 and sometimes I get x gray bars but after it picks up signal and gets connect to H it seem to work fine. Until I lose the signal or I switch to airplane, etc. Takes a while sometimes to get back signal or the H.
I did notice that when the screen goes off my download stops or sometimes when I download certain files it stops right away. I been updating roms so not sure if it related to them, but overall its been like that.

yes screen off downloading stopping is quite annoying...
I dunno but since I upgraded my Hboot and used CM7... my data sucks. It will work then not work. I typically have to reset to get it back. Even switching in and out of airplane mode will not work.
And by 3G I mean my data connection. I'll have full bars and 3G coverage... but no data from the browser, no pings, no online apps, nothing. Seems like the only way to fix it is to reset the phone.
I also noticed my signal is noticeably less at home. Typically I have full bars but now I notice that it's been dropping out and bouncing.
Could be a carrier issue. But I haven't upgraded my radio since 5.08 first came out. I updated my HBoot for the early builds of GB. So I'm willing to test out this theory.
lol, hboot has nothing to do with the phone's radio. The radio version does.
If you're having a problem with the radio (voice/data) then you should look at the radio version you're running.
Again, hboot has nothing to do with your issue.
Ive had the data sticking problem since I got my n1. Remember reading somewhere that if you go into settings - wireless networks - mobile networks - network operators, when it finishes searching select "automatically select". I got T-Mobile & it works for me until the next time I flash a new rom.
FYI when I was on CM 6.1 I had your problems. I then switched to MicroMod777's Gingerbread and those problems disappeared. I've now flashed Enmother's TheOfficial Nexus1 and I'm testing. Absolutely a ROM problem.

Same here. I tried MM and nothing worked! lol. So I went back to the latest CM7 (#24). I'm not sure what the problem is. Now I'm on an older HBoot and an older Radio. I shoulda just left 5.12 and .35 on there.
Once I get my phone pieced back together, I may try one of the older CM6.1 roms to see if that fixes it. I think we are all using Gingerbread roms here, no? Perhaps that just is an issue that comes with it.

Same issue here, wondering if this hboot is incompatible w/ my old radio.
just received my new nightly, will give this method a try as soon as i upgraded.
thanks!
-- just saw the updated post, thanks anyway
Perhaps the OP should change the title and original message to exclude the HBoot details as the problem is with Data connection.
This will let us continue discussion about the data connection problem that we are, I am at least, experiencing.
Using CM7 #24 from 1/30, it seems to be less of an issue. I notice that I'll have 3G and full bars, but no data will work until it changes to an "H". Seems like it might just be the rom. The latest nightly seems to correct the issue better then before. Now if I open a browser, after 30s-1minute, it will start chugging along.
I have had my phone replaced 4 different times and I have the same problem with each one. Whenever I update to a ICS ROM (stock or CM9) my Wifi and Cell signal goes to crap. I lose 10db on my cell signal and my wifi drops a bar or two. Also, my phone seems to randomly lose my data connection and doesn't come back unless I reboot.
This really kills me because I already have bad signal at home at work so it makes my phone useless.
I am probably going back to Gingerbread because of this unless someone can help. Any thoughts?
dear i have also same problem
dear i have same problem plz give me gingerbread link to dowload that version
i am very worry about this plz help me
thanks

Try changing kernel, like AIR Kernel.
I followed muniz_ri's post yesterday to upgrade my VZW S5 to Android 5.0, and it went perfectly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546
I am having ZERO issues, screen rotation is fine. However, the one thing I did notice was the 4G signal bar was very low.
I live within 3 blocks of a VZW tower, and it has the latest AWS (XLTE) upgrade. With 4.4.4, I had FULL signal and was pulling 45-65mb consistently.
Now after the update, my signal bars are in-between 1-3. I've tried several speed tests, and they would max out at 5mb. I've tried switching in-between Global and LTE/CDMA with little to no difference.
Has anyone else seen or has had this issue? Would it be possible to flash back to the older 4.4.4 base band/radio or is not compatible?
Thanks for your help!
I have noticed the same thing. I noticed on my normal commute where I would be in strong to low 4G, It now switches to 3G when in the low spots.. Going to try a clean install again and see what happens.

Thanks.. Im about to do the same myself, but think that I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
same here
I actually went looking through the forums for this problem because after the lollipop update I've noticed a very weak signal. People on the other end of my phone conversations have commented several times in the last couple of days that it sounds like I'm on a bad connection so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. I started with a clean install, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
It is also of note that I am NOT having any other major issues. The 5 .0 update is running great. My battery life is not as good as I expected it to be, I don't get through a full day on a charge anymore. I can live with that, but this signal thing is going to kill me. I'll have to roll back to 4 .4.
Has any one found a solution to this problem I've tried to factory reset and re down load each step and I have horrible reception dropped calls like crazy my text messages fail constantly as well as pic messages it's beginning to piss me off lol but also good to know I'm not the only one having problems
