Any of you guys experiencing **** signal now? I sit in my room and i can't even get calls anymore. It show's it has service but i get no calls coming through. Sometimes i just get no service, whereas before the update I always got service here.. Also, after school where i barely get service inside, and i go outside i have to reboot the phone to get signal again.. wtf?
Any fixes?
Unfortunately, I'm getting the same experience. Already filed a ticket with T-Mo...they're going to look into it. This is ridiculous.

Gotta agree with you here. I've noticed my phone spending more time with a big fat 'G' in the bar then the '3G'. Not very happy about it and wish I could just flash the original stock ROM back.
Where do u file a ticket
No problems here in the UK. Maybe its related to the 1700Mhz frequency. Is it the same in both 2g and 3g? compared to the same before in 2g and 3g of course.
My signal is just fine after the OTA... actually, get 1 more bar at my Dad's than I did before... his house is my true testing grounds since it is an old house with metal in the exterior walls at a low point on top of a hill... nobody gets coverage at his place minus 1-2 bars by the door, and 2-3 outside.
With my G1 I got 0-2 in the house, and my N1 gets 1-3 depending on where I am at. Better than any phone I have ever tested there, including BB's, WM's, and plain Janes.
do you have any custom radio settings or anything?
Same problem here. Really getting pissed off now.
Same here, posted about it earlier... I emailed google, no word yet!
since the update im always on 3g / H
one more note, I have never dropped a call on my BB's in the past and it happens all the time on my N1... if the damn screen wasnt so pretty I'd say f it!
I'm having the same issues but I am using AT&T. Even though I have full bars on Edge, I can't make nor receive calls or texts more often than before.
No issues after the ota, and still getting 3G/H 4bars most of the time. One wierd thing after the ota, is when I run speedtest, the nearest Server it locks on is 1,586 miles away It use to be in Las Vegas hood!
No decrease in network connectivity here... I'm actually seeing better 3G connectivity than before the update.
same here... and wouldnt you think full edge would mean 3g service? the radio in this phone is all f'd up
What method did you guys use to update? Did you remove the battery at all during the update, or did you let it go until it rebooted on its own?
Maybe try reflashing the update manually, really easy to do with or with out an unlocked boatloader and root. I am thinking you might have a bad flashing of the radio ROM or incomplete update. The radio ROM update has done wonders for so many, and was heavily tested for a couple weeks by Google, so I highly doubt it would be a step backwards... only way I could see the update itself being the 'root' of the problem is if it isn't compatiable with the broadcast radios being used in your area on the towers.
my nexus is MUCH better after the update. MUCH BETTER.
I did it manually step for step it went along with the directions and discription

Does a better job than I could/would.
Please, somebody tell me there's hope. 2 really annoying & disappointing things are happening. My bluetooth keeps randomly disconnecting, and to make matters worse the status bar icon still shows it is connected, but it's not. Second, I am dropping calls almost daily, and I'm mostly in places where 2 seconds before the drop I had 4 bars!!! I went to a store today & got a replacement SIM (50.01 vs. 39.01 markings) hoping that might solve it, not happening. And the signal strength almost never shows less than -105 dBm, sometimes -97. I NEVER had a dropped call or any bluetotth issues with either my old trusty G1 or the MT3G I just came from. I'm really trying to love the phone, it has so many positives. But the fact that it's a "phone" and it's basic function is skewered is pissing me off big time. Please, someone tell me I ain't the only one experiencing these issues, and, that either the OTA FroYo or Cyan's first ROM is gonna fix 'em? Better yet, any known fixes now? Are these issues in any way related to the data issues, possibly? When I called Tech Support last night they said to try a hard reset, but I really don't want to do so, unless I can flash one of the stock/de-TW'ed "stock" ROM's written about in the Dev. threads. Anyone have any concrete suggestions or explanations? Thanks...
Hello,
Im having a most frustrating problem. Im not sure if its a modem issue or a hardware issue. What I am experiencing is this:
The phone shows no bars, but sees a carrier. This happened after flashing back to a stock GB rom after using a CM9 rom. I can receive texts and calls sometimes, but its not consistant. If it shows no bars I can get a call, if it shows one or two bars i cant, but get the missed call notification. I have done factory resets, cache clears. Its really making my phone unusable. I went back to using my 3 yr old Ericsson till I can get this figured out. Im hoping that someone has some advice for me as Im out of ideas. Ive tried to flash just the modem but no luck. Went from CyanTablet to xxjvt 2.3.5, rooted it so I could get the modded recovery. The pins for the where the sim card make contact are damaged but it has worked for the last 2 months that way. I really love this phone and dont want to replace it yet.

test with a network booster to increase signal strength, free from google but if you bring phone to another location, do you get a better signal? meaning location matters, if you far from your network cell site, its more difficult
Ill try the network booster. All of my old phones pick up 5 bars, I live about 1/4 mile from the cell tower. I have tried another flash with 2.3.3, repartitioned this time. Once its back up and running Ill get back to you. Is there anything else Im missing? Well I think its dead. Ive tried all my coworkers sims in it, nothing came up. It says no service permanently now, guess its a 4" tablet.
Try another radio, i had the same problem wit JW4 radio,flashed JVT and problem solved.
Some radios are better than others in different locations, it also depends on rom used.
I tried a completely new build, flashed a new modem, then flashed xxjvu. Still nothing, going to call Samsung and see if I can get the warranty to fix it. 2.3.6 tho has 364 megs of ram and has almost 200 free, thats cool. zsjw4 has a new look to it.
I followed muniz_ri's post yesterday to upgrade my VZW S5 to Android 5.0, and it went perfectly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546
I am having ZERO issues, screen rotation is fine. However, the one thing I did notice was the 4G signal bar was very low.
I live within 3 blocks of a VZW tower, and it has the latest AWS (XLTE) upgrade. With 4.4.4, I had FULL signal and was pulling 45-65mb consistently.
Now after the update, my signal bars are in-between 1-3. I've tried several speed tests, and they would max out at 5mb. I've tried switching in-between Global and LTE/CDMA with little to no difference.
Has anyone else seen or has had this issue? Would it be possible to flash back to the older 4.4.4 base band/radio or is not compatible?
Thanks for your help!
I have noticed the same thing. I noticed on my normal commute where I would be in strong to low 4G, It now switches to 3G when in the low spots.. Going to try a clean install again and see what happens.

Thanks.. Im about to do the same myself, but think that I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
same here
I actually went looking through the forums for this problem because after the lollipop update I've noticed a very weak signal. People on the other end of my phone conversations have commented several times in the last couple of days that it sounds like I'm on a bad connection so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. I started with a clean install, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
It is also of note that I am NOT having any other major issues. The 5 .0 update is running great. My battery life is not as good as I expected it to be, I don't get through a full day on a charge anymore. I can live with that, but this signal thing is going to kill me. I'll have to roll back to 4 .4.
Has any one found a solution to this problem I've tried to factory reset and re down load each step and I have horrible reception dropped calls like crazy my text messages fail constantly as well as pic messages it's beginning to piss me off lol but also good to know I'm not the only one having problems

Hi guys,
Now my zuk is unable to connect to any mobile network.
The problem isn't new, two days ago that was happened becouse I change the bands from the test mode.
But the strange things is that i solved it restoring the system partition by a nandroid backup, but now the same backup didn't solve the problem.
I'm sure that the problem is about the bands becouse I can see only a operator that use a different band and also from the test mode I can choose some network but not all.
Another strange thing is that the second time the problem occurred after a simple reboot...
Thanks for the help
I have the same problem and there is an older thread covering this where 2 other people also have the issue.
The only fix I found is to power off the phone. When restarting the issue is cleared.
As an aside I notice that to diagnose that the problem has occurred you can try to change the "preferred network type" and see that there is no pause while the phone works to switch from 3G to 4G or whatever. Normally there should be a pause of a few seconds whilst the phone switches over. When trying this and noticing that the phone appears to do nothing at this point (by which I mean there is no pause and nothing much happens) then I know something has fallen over and that I have to power off the phone.
This is obviously a software problem and, like most bits of technology in our lives, you just have to switch the thing off and on again to fix it.
Lets hope the promised upgrade to Marshmallow next month fixes it.
All got that problem on COS 12.1 use custom firmware.

Please do not generalize like all on COS 12.1 have this problem...my phone is complete stock on COS 12.1 and I have NO network problems since day 1 (more than a year my daily driver). I have been travelling the world using my phones dual Sim function to the fullest and never ran into problems. Maybe I have the only good working ZUK1 on the whole planet but then again I don't **** around with the frequency bands nor did I try to unlock and or root my phone...
When you burn your arse you may have to sit on the blisters!

Hey buddy, Could you please lemme know the version of COS 12.1 that you are using.? I am running on the stock version updated to 12.1-YOG4PAS7DF. Being frank, I am not totally satisfied with the network coverage of my phone. My earlier phones used to work flawlessly at my apartment and since I switched to ZUK, I am facing network coverage issues and data connectivity issues with the Same operator. Are you mostly connected to LTE network.?

12.1-YOG4PAS9IG. While home I am on WIFI and while away from home I am on LTE or whatever the reception allows depending upon my location. I do live in a remote part from France so I do face network coverage problems but at the same time it does not surprise me.
It could be well that the ZUK1's reception is less than other models or brands or even other ZUK1's something I have not confirmed. All I can say is that I am happy with the phone performance.
Happened 9 days ago, after a day it resolved itself after restarting (nothing happened by restarting, changing roms, restoring factory backup & so before).
Again happened & didn't resolve for a week+. was going to get a new cell today but last night it resolved itself when I rebooted to recovery to install a rom, but changed my mind for then as I needed flash light, rebooted system & signals were there.
It happens & goes away.
