GSM Signal weak in Prophet after update. Pls help.....

I had purchased a second hand o2 xda neo. It had wm 5 on it . I updates it with wm 6.1 roms available here.I find that the gsm reception is very poor inside my home.I dont know whether this happened after the update. In my office it is quite good. Even when I am outside i have no problem. Only in my home the signal is very weak. can this be corrected by some registry tweaks or some software. or is it a hardware problem. and if so can i get it repaired. pls help...

what rom are you using and what radio was recommended for use with it. Sounds like a radio issue to me but plz tell me rom and radio. you can experiment using different radios found on the wiki to see whatworks best.
you can flash different radios without loosing data on the device.

I have tried with 2.19, 2.47, 2.69 roms. but no effect. I am trying today 2.07 let me see if that helps. Does IPL/SPL effect the singnal strength?

mmm it might be just one of those things, in that there is interferance within your house (my house is made from granite so reception is very poor), if recpetion is good elsewhere it is unlikely to be radio.
Is there 3G network there? The quality of service on 3G can be unpredictable at best of times.
Signal is not effected by IPL/SPL to my knowledge.

The results of 2.07.20 radio rom. It shows good signal but i feel that it does not update it when the signal is poor. In my office signal is good. So it showed full strength. I went home. There too it showed full strength. when i did soft rest to clear my doubt the signal was poor as in previous roms. Do you think that the antenna has some problem. Can it be replaced. i find an opening above the mirror( near the camers lens) for car antenna. Can this help? if so how?. 3G network is not available in my country(INDIA)

hey,
i think u might have to accept that the signal is just crap in your house... a bummer i know, but if youve tried various radios and signal is good elsewhere, it cant be the internal ariel.
have u tried flashing another rom, more recent build?
Not sure it will help but you never know... at the end of the day, signal is never constant in any one place.

But friend. The signal is good in other phones. If the signal is crap then it should affect other phones too.

I should have also said that the signal is never constant betwenn too phones in the same place. It depends on antenna hardware and the location of it, like signal is reduced whislt making a call if you place your hand and fingers in the wrong place.
I think it unlikely that is a hardware issue if your signal is fine in other areas. Sorry my friend i dont know what else to suggest having tried radios and roms.
The prophet is getting a little long in the tooth now, so be time for an update?

Are you on radio 2.07.50? I have noticed i mostly get "3G" as well, but when i get closer to the city center it turns into "H". I think reception is just really bad!

[Q] Serious reception issues

Hello, I have been having some serious reception issues with my G1. Have tried the latest radio rom and a cople of cyanogen roms and super d all the same. I also got a new sim card thinking it was from that to no avail. All the other phones don't have any issues connecting only my G1. I mostly get up to 2 bars and then drop down to No service again. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

What radio do you have? Is it just signal bars? Or 3g also?
sent from my superfroyo dream

I have radio 2.22.23.02 And its with anything 2G or 3G

Problem seems to have gone after a hard reset and flashing superfroyo .
Now I'm having another issues with the gps. The signal is very weak and can barely ever get my location. Never had this problem before with Super D, anyone knows how to fix this ? (apart from rolling back to Super D) Maybe there is some way to increase the power or something? Thanks
Edit: Fixed it by using this tutorial: http://wccftech.com/2010/09/09/solving-gps-nofix-problem-cyanogenmod-6-nexus/

Data signal reception problem.. help plz.

I have HTC desire HD for almost one month but from time to time it loose data connection. If it would drop from 3g to EDGE or even GPRS than I would understand. But it loose signal completely and even restarting phone doesnt help. I am using Android Revolution HD 1.4 ROM.. After few hours I get reception back. Any idea how to figure out where is a problem? I am afraid that is problem hw problem anyone experienced same problem? My old HTC Touch Diamond with same SIM and on same location gets signal though. BTW telephone signal strenght is 91 dBm 11asu and it says type of mobile network: HSDPA
thanks

if it software i think the only thing you could do is flash another radio img to fix it but that's a very risky process to do and high chance you can brick your phone. if you always had the problem from very start and had another 3g phone work in same location. i would say it has to be hardware problem an take your phone back from were you got it or send it to HTC to get repaired. im in u.k an i get around the same signal strength as you but never lose signal all together unless in location i can't get a signal. only other thing you could check is your battery cover as someone mentioned if that's not on right you lose signal?? don't know how right that is.

[Q] Unlocked HD2 Need Rom that connects with AT&T

Hello all I have a PROBLEM!
I have an unlocked HD2 using AT&T, my signal is extremely weak so my thoughts were to add an Android Rom in hopes to increase the signal but I have tried several NAND Roms:
RAFDROID
HYPERDROID CM7
NEXUSHD2 GINGERBREAD
HYPERDROID GBX
ARKAT DOUBLESENSE
REDUX V1.2
I am using the MAGLDR 113, installing using CWM 3.2. I am not sure which radio i have... perhaps that's the problem?
It would recognize the AT&T network and would say registering to AT&T but after 30 seconds or so it would say unable to connect at this time.
PLEASE help I am currently phoneless.
Thanks
PS it doesn't have to be android anything with a signal will work

Try this radio 2.15 its the newest one procedure is the same as installing magldr
1.make sure the phone is off
2 hold the volume button down and turn the phone on
3 connect your phone to your pc thru usb
4 flash the radio from your pc.
hope it helps
in the future post questions in Q and A section or you'll get flamed

Thanks for the link to the radio I appreciate it did not see to help the signal issue. In regards to improper posting that was an oversight on my part is there a way to delete it from here and post in the proper category?

it might just be your location...see if you get better signal elsewhere

rom has nothing to do with the connection you're getting, if you have the latest radio(2.15.50.14) and the proper apn settings for att, then is definitely the service in your area. I have TMO and I get crap signal in my home with any and all roms, but once I'm outside I get good service, plus in data speed you'll only will get Edge/2G speed , but I'm sure you already knew that happens when using a TMO phone in ATT and vice versa .

I'm using my HD2 on AT&T and mine is working great. I'm running Rafdroid Desire HD Froyo. No signal problems at all.

Lets check whether your device is having a loose connection or not first. Put on your wifi, stand some feets away from the router and see if you can connect. If your having weak signal, stand near the router and check. If you still have a weak signal put on your bluetooth and see if you can discover any other bluetooth devices.
If you are having problem with these two connection as well, then my friend its time to open up your device and prepare for surgery.
Else, despite getting full wifi and bluetooth, if you are still having network problems, then place an aluminium foil on the back side of your device in full.
now see if you are having any improvement. These are just preliminary tests to check whether your device needs some serious disassembling.

I'm having the same problem, although I do get connections sometimes but then when i try to send a text or make a call it says network unavailable. I do have gprs data turned off on my phone's account with ATT. I messed with some settings in the phone options after dialing that *# thing and it worked but like i said after one text it just stoppped and when I go into network settings and click att it says registering and then after a few seconds it says unable to connect

After a few more hours of searching I found a way to get a much me stable connection. However, sometimes I lose signal but not like before, when I used to get a warning notification in the taskbar thing. What you have to do is go into the special phone settings by going to the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#* where it says wcdma preferred you need to change it to GSM only and do a reboot and you should get much better signal.
