Jade Signal Reception

I am subscribing to a GSM 3G service.
I noticed that Jade's signal reception is a bit weak. In the area where I am living, my 3G signal reception shows only 1 bar whereas a Kaiser (in the same house) shows 3 bars. And intermittently it goes to "no service".
Does anyone else experience the same problem ?

+1 : same signal reception.
With an Herald (P4350 without 3G) i had 3 ou 4 bars on gsm...

+1
my old Cruise/polaris htc better than jade in reception3g

+1
I'm very sad because i love my jade but he's a little bit weak in signal reception...
what can we do ?

To me, it seems the same as with HTC Artemis.

yep 3g signal reception is too bad on jade.. when i sent it for htc, they just replaced the main board, but still the 3g reception is poor, so i switched to GSM.

No Service problem

I have got No Service sometimes on my N1, must restart to show signal and carrier name again. Have any one got same problem ?

Nothing like that here in Austin, TX. Where are you and what carrier do you use?

Same issue in the UK on vodafone. In general reception is worse than the hero or magic in the same location, same network. Not talking about data speed or 3G, just getting a signal is sometimes a pain in weak signal areas. Most times I only have one or two bars, or even none but it doesn't say no network! And sometimes it'll be on no network and I'll have to restart or move to a different spot. But it's weird cause it seems to fluctuate quite a bit.
Is there anything that can be done to boost the reception?

i have the same problem too - also on vodafone UK. phones been ok for a week or so but since yesterday i keep losing signal and either have to restart phone or manually connect to a network. i also get a sim card exclamation mark notification in the bar which i dont have a clue what it means!!
anyone out there no why?

I would suggest to hold on until the OTA update will be deployed next week (more or less) it will be a fix for the US 3G issues and Im quite positive that it will increase stability of the 3G signal here as well.

that's what I'm hoping for too, although most of the complaints on that issue have been related to 3g/edge rather than the signal itself. I know the two are related but I've often had decent enough 3g with a weak signal so hopefully the ota fix will address all this

Wow, this is ridiculous and why is this happening?

Please help:
I'm on CM9 19 6 nightly. Using Semaphore kernel without any modifications to the scripts.
The problem: My signal keeps on going out at regular intervals.
I've used XXJVU, DDJV5, XXJVT, KF1(Nexus modem for ICS) and various more. I stay on the modems for a week and then change to another one. The latest one is DDJV5 which I have been using since the past 2 weeks.
Tried all of the modems I could lay my hands on. Nothing works.
But the moment I come to work, the signal keeps fluctuating over the day. Sometimes it would be out for 10-15 minutes. When it's back, it would get back to giving -65 .. -71 dBm. It would stay like that for a few minutes and then it would be gone again for another 10-15 minutes or so.
It has turned into an OCD where I keep checking my signal.
This does not happen when I'm back home and then I'm back to getting good signal.
Yes, this looks to you like a locational issue. I thought so too. BUT, how did I get so good signal till a week back at work?
Question: What could have made this mess to my signal reception? How can I solve this?
No, all my syncs are OFF. I keep my 3G turned off and only use it once an hour or so for a few minutes. I don't use any signal consuming apps.
Also, sometimes the 3G would work even without the signal.
Another thing, sometimes there's a (x) sign at the signal bar thing and sometimes there is no (x) without bars.
As a cure for the OCD, I've taken an off from work today just to get some rest from checking my signal every now and then. And maybe find a solution.
I'm on Vodafone India.
Indians, I am on Vodafone India in Pune, Hinjewadi Information Technology park. Maybe Pune guys can help me out too?

maybe the phone changes the network mode.. 2g 3g or i dont know , try to put in in 2g only mode , or gsm only mode.

When the signal bar shows with a "x" it means the network is not available...go to settings and change the Network mode to "GSM Only". It will solve the fluctuating issue but network speed will be limited to 2G only.

Thanks, let me try it out.
Where is the network changing option to GSM only in ICS?
Okay, I guess it's the 2G mode.

Is going to 2G mode my ONLY option?
How can I fix this and get back to using 3G?

Update:
Changing to 2G mode fixed the problem. BUT...
I have a few questions now:
I want to use 3G but at the same time I don't want the signal to fluctuate between 2G and 3G—want to get constant 3G connectivity without signal fluctuations. Is there any way I can fix that?
I remember reading somewhere that going to recovery and changing permission helps this.
Anyone knows how to change the permissions so the signal fluctuations stop?
I have done a lot of reading on XDA but I haven't noticed an issue like this.
CM9 guys, anything please...

I have the same issue mate...using 2G is the only option to get signal without any problem.
The problem doesnot lies on your phone but the problem is with the operator. The area where you live hardly 3G signal reaches there (same problem with me).
You got two options to fix this issue:
1. Change your Network Operator
Or
2. Settle to another location where 3G signal is fully available

Both the options look impossible for me at the moment.
I will start living with the hope that the operator brings us some decent 3G signal here.
Thanks a lot anyways. It was helpful. Hope others facing the issue can learn from this thread. :good:

Complain to your provider, very loud!

:gooditto the same problem occured to me on Vodafone (Chennai) tried all modems listed above nothing worked ...Used to lose signals all the time with 2g data on especially at my workplace intermittently for 3-4 months ever since I upgraded to ICS..Sometimes used to lose signal even if data was off..multiple reboots/restarts gave no solution ..issue persisted across all the 15+ roms i might have flashed over the past 6 months..
Finally fed up I ported the number to AIrtel..everything works like a charm on JV9 I must say now..can vouch it's a network issue at the location

I am getting constant 5 bars on the 2G network. 3G gives me 2 bars at max.
Asked Vodafone about the future of 3G in my location and they said "We are spreading, sir. We will keep you informed".

I've had this problem too when the phone was constantly switching between 2G and 3G/3.5G. Try adding "Toggle 2G/3G" to notification drawer, set the "Network modes" for it to 2G/3G Only or 2G/3G Only/3G+2G. Switching between modes can take 10-20 seconds, but you should be able to test if you can get good enough 3G only connectivity (in case it is just a network switching problem like for me).

If you want 3G only, Dial *#*#4636#*#* - Phone information - WCDMA only.

Actually it is not a problem.... You are actually getting same signal as moto g but it is just showing 1-2 bar due to its high signal calibration... Don't worry about it... Your phone is fine

Yes it seems to work good only in city center. In rural areas the signal seems very unstable and continues to switch from 4g to H and 3g.

I found a workaround but have to renounce to 4g...I put favorite network type like in the screenshot, no more call problems and data connection is more stable also if slower.

This phone has serious issues with reception. My phone shows I have 3g signal but it can never seem to connect. I think I will have to sell our return.
It might be a network issue but its a UK bought phone from xiaomi and they haven't returned my support emails.
I've changed sim, roms, firmwares. No change. My note 5 Pro keeps trooping on though.
