Anyone notice that after installing 2.2 (with the new radio) that the signal strength bars are wacky?
I can go from 3 bars to 0 bars and back in a few seconds while my phone says -100 in network status...
Also, I had a much higher signal strength in pre-OTA, and the leaked OTA than I do in 2.2... (At least if I track the number). This morning I had the phone off charger where before the update I had two bars and a -80 strength. Post update, 0 bars and -102 strength and under Cell Standby it had 80% signal loss....

I have been hearing that the 2.2 leaked rom is bad on battery. This is why.

So far I am seeing better signal reliability than before. I am in an area outside of Seattle... Good signal most everywhere but I work in a building so usually got 1, maybe 2 bars of 1x. Now it is showing 2-3 bars of EV and my data connection is faster at my desk.
I did a *228, option 2 directly after loading the updated ROM.
And no idea who said 2.2 was bad on battery but I am seeing the opposite. Been playing with my phone all day, a LOT more so than normal and still over 80% charge. Usually at about 60% by now with not nearly as much use.
Agreed, I have been downloading apps, using Nexus live wallpaper, browsing internet, texting, took a video and using the HTC Flashlight as well as arranging my home screen all day. Not plugged it in once since 06:56 and I'm at 49%. This is unheard of for me on this phone.
((Admit I did the charge trick when I woke up though))
My dbm is about the same as it was before, but the signal bars are much more accurate and do not fluctuate like the OP states. I was using SkyRaider1.9b but now I just got the new radio and installed leaked OTA. We'll see about battery tomorrow.... 2.2 (no 2.x radio) in skyraider was better than 2.1 Eclair as far as battery. We'll see how 2.2 stock leak OTA works on battery. Give that a few days and then try SkyRaider 2.0.
I'm also pretty excited to see what CM6 turns out like once everything is sorted out.
Anyone else noticing also if edge has a stronger signal, phone will drop h and go to edge? ! I have 2 bars h and my phone will change to e aka edge that has 3-4 bars...
I've installed the rocketfish toggle to force 4g, anyone else noticed same thing in their service area?!?
Aloha from Hawaii!
This only happens to me if my 4G signal gets exceptionally low, like 1 to 0 bars. Then the phone will roll back to EDGE to still maintain a signal. Otherwise at 2+ bars this does not happen to me.
Edge will almost always have a better signal than 3g. Especially because of the freq that tmo uses. They use 1.9ghz for edge compared to 2.1ghz for 3g. Higher the freq the more power needed for same distance and less penetration
I m using creed 3.5
here signal strength sho with dbm and asu
but i dont know what is dBm and asu
plz any one tell me about this
It's your signal strength measured in decibels.
You can read more on this here if you want.
those are the signal strength
From the information I have found, it seems common that the S7 Edge has fewer bars than other devices due to that Qualcomm technology I don't remember the name.
However, what I'm finding worrisome is that, for example at the same spot, my girlfriend's S7 Edge has -120dBm 20 asu and my Moto Z Play has -100 dBm 40 asu. It's a very considerable difference, so I'm wondering whether her device is faulty or actually is the s7 edge that has so poor signal strength.
She also told me that at her workplace, where she has always had good signal on her Nexus 5, now sometimes she's not even able to make/receive calls.
Anyone else with a unlocked S10+ on T-Mobile notice signal is trash? My old mate 10 pro has 2x the signal and speeds. Same sim same spot on table.
Huawei got 73.7 and 21.5
S10+ got 47 and 22 half bars. I loose signal alot now
