Atrix radio power lower than Defy?

Hello everyone, I bought an Atrix to upgrade my Defy, I'm very satisfied with the phone except for one thing, the signal power of my Defy is way higher than my Atrix. I work underground and with the same carrier my Defy works excelent, while my Atrix keeps getting out of signal ;(
Is there a way to increase the power for the radio in order to get a better reception?

Where do I find the files? Also, is there some sort of tweak to increase the radio power?

Are you on AT&T? If so try flash this through cwm

WiFi Signal on G-Lite...

I've noticed my WiFi signal is quite a bit weaker is comparison to say RCMIX 4.0 or Affinity.
Is there any way to transplant the great WiFi performance to G-Lite?

Well I understood that wifi had more to do with the radio as opposed to the rom.

Hmm. I always thought the opposite. I thought wifi wasnt tied to the radio, that the radio was just for GSM signal...

Think you are correct! Flashed to an older radio and am now getting better wifi reception. Thanks!

So you've had the same WiFi performance between roms? Even Sense based?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

Well the radio and rom are two separate things, you must flash them independently. Certain radios work better for some on certain roms, but also it depends on the region as well, it really is the epitome of YMMV! I personally stick to radios from official updates, besides if it ain't broke don't fix it. In your case it was but now it's fine so just be careful. Flashing radios is the number one phone bricker next to one click root solutions.

I'd like to know which radio you ended up using as well. I'm also using G-Lite and experiencing weak wifi signal, at least shown on the wifi indicator.

Not sure who your asking but I'm using the newest stock from the last.official ota

Will try that, thanks

Are you sure that it's not just the ROM showing that it has lower signal than it actually does? I'm using g-lite 2.0.1 and i have no problems with wifi at all and this ROM is amazing, i think you should flash the latest radio for the htc vision as that's the one that is recommended by the developer of g-lite. Here's a link to the list of radios for your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809 , the one i'm using (which is also the recommended one) is the one at the top of the downloads list - Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19.

hi guys whats up?

i want to ask you what the best rom now to samsung galaxy i 9000 //// and If you have any recommendations for lg p500 roms I would happy to take it....

That's up to your personal taste.
If you like a stable rom, try one based on gingerbread.
If you want to go with the trend,
try an ics-based rom.

What do you recommend?

not really. but it should be good enough for everyone. if you want most customizable rom ever, try aokp port by bhuvan. if you want a simple rom, try cm9 alpha.

I want rom that has the least defect and will be fast

He means that the era of Galaxy S GT-I9000 is OVER!
Now phones come with at least 1.2 GHZ dual core CPUS with more than 1GB amount of RAM meaning:
Better Multitasking
Faster Response
Latest Application support
Please notice:
Today, there is a big gamma of smartphones including android and windows phone devices and because of that some developers moved to other devices.
My advice:
If you want a fast and clean ROM go with stock 2.3.6 version.
Find one that suits your country and needs and install root or buy another phone.
Samsung caused a lot of frustration to many users for not including ICS support and that's why most developers focus on an ICS support and ICS ROMS are known to be buggy and glitchy (no offense meant to anyone).
I can't blame Samsung for not including an ICS port, it's true that ICS require more RAM

The ics ports are running very well on our galaxy, and if f***** ram-eating Touchwiz wouldn't be there, I'm sure Samsung would provide us with an official ics firmware.

But yet they deny any ICS port and even if it runs "well" it's glitchy.
For example: External SD doesn't work

Ext SD is only an issue on some ports for our galaxy, if you take all ics roms together, you get a very fast one with bugs only related to Google.

Hmmm... Does he have a lot of apps on his phone? Perhaps apps running in the background are bogging down his phone.

No not many and he's always killing the apps. His main complaint is that when he open up messaging it takes a while to open up

I think he would back up his apps, and move to a stable ROM offered by one if the dev here

To keep things closer to your dad's experience there's FishmanMod which is an update to a very popular Bionix -v 1.3.1 Rom. It will fly compared to stock but everything works and it won't be totally unfamiliar to the dad.

be careful, the GS4g and Vibrant may look the same, but their flashing procedures are a bit different. read up and then do it.

Adding on to xriderx66, use this guide if you need a reference when backing up & flashing a custom rom to your dads phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Since he's already rooted start from: "OKAY, I HAVE ROOT - NOW WHAT? BACKUP!!!"

If your dad is happy with the stock ROM (with the exception of the speed) then I would definitely suggest going with something like the fishman mod that is based on the stock 2.2 ROM. That'll make sure he still has all the stock apps and such. I used Bionix for a LONG time and was always really happy with it.

I'm gonna show him bionix and see what he says

I suggest showing him Fish's version of Bionix for the mere reason that Fishman is supporting it daily, while Team Whiskey is no longer.
Fish is good at what he does. My name is Woodrube and I endorse this message.

Captivate radio worked properly for me. Use the JJ sequence.
Radio-CM7-ICS-Captivate-JJ4-Signed

Sometimes yes sometimes no. Because of different bands and hardware sometimes it can brick your phone.

JJ sequence or any of the i847 modems didnt work for me. Only some of the I9000 modems work but not much better than the vibrant.
