I have tried all the 1.5 roms and just came to AOSP 1.6 quiet and have noticed that my phone reception is not as strong as I had with the 1.5 roms. anybody else notice this?
Just wondering if theres a app that can help boost signal strength. I always stay around -96 - -100 ,and will it help to make tethering faster? Im using sc 2.6 voodoo it runs great. The signal strength has always been a issue though, or ne homade antennas i can use?
same here . i am about to give up on this phone i have only 1 bar of signal all the time at best. thinking about jumping ship to a different phone
I'm getting a status of -96 dBm and 0 asu. Is that bad? I just always have low signal. Any suggestions?
Can't do nothing about it.

While it's possible that the rom doesn't agree with your evo's hardware. If you've had good signal on other roms then my first guess would be that it's a prl issue, maybe try updating and see if that corrects it. If none of that works then maybe it's locational, maybe someone put up a dish or construction or something like that, that has caused your phone to begin having poor signal. If none of this is the case then maybe you just have bad luck and the cell phone gods have decided to have some fun at your expense.
AOSP appears to measure signal differently than Sense. One explanation I've read many times is that AOSP measures data and Sense measures 1X/Voice.
Check your signal in both ROMs via dBm and see? At work I can have solid bars on Sense and 1-2 on AOSP and have the same speed/responsiveness.
YMMV

Yes, that is bad. On Sense that would be about one-to-two bars, and in an AOSP ROM that would likely have you on 1x.
While Sense and AOSP display signal strength differently in bars (Sense has six bars, AOSP has four), the dBm is usually the same. I have experimented on this many times, because where I work I get horrible signal (between -94 to -96 pretty much constantly) and while the bars report differently and Sense reports 3G more often, the dBm is almost always the same no matter which ROM I am running.
What this means, from my experience, is that the ROM has little to do with signal strength. Radios, PRLs, etc. are what affect signal strength. The ROMs just report it differently, so people think that the ROM is making a difference.
That's just based on my observations, anyway. I can't flash right now so I haven't been able to use Deck's latest and greatest, much to my chagrin.
Okay I find when out with Nexus I am really happy with Signal Strength
I am using the Stock Rom with 3.4 Franko kernal Nightly
Baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZ-20.1700.48
I am on wind Moble I had a Nexus S before this and never had problems with Signal Strength
Now Internet is not working great over the phone and some times people can't hear me on calls
how can I make things better ?
Use a headset and put your phone down

I am running stock with Franko's m2
I all so installed the baseband .27 I have a lot better signal and faster speeds. I was running around 1Mb now im seeing 3 to 6 Mb. Depending on network and time of day.

Is ti common for the signal to be lower on a rom vs stock rom..
Im using cloudypro and my signal is very low and sometimes actually alot jumps from lte to H to 3g
When i was on stock i had a constant 5 bars and so does my wife s4
Its always the case for me. I think its just cosmetic though, I haven't noticed a drop in signal while talking
