Aosp and data - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been lovin my aosp Rom but hating the data drops so I went back to sense and hate it more even though it has no data issues at all. Anything I can do to solve the data drop issue with aosp?

I love CM7 but left for this reason. However I have come back to CM7 with a new radio and it seems to have fixed it. Although the LTE radio (the newest leak) has no problems FOR ME, I sometimes experience problems with the 3G radio. I know you can mix and match some radios but I am not in 3G enough to make it worth it. Sometimes my hand-off is slow when I am leaving a LTE or a 3G area and going to the other (unfortunately I experience this every day on my commute). However, it is not nearly a big enough an issue to make me leave CM7.
MY only advice is, experiment with radios! try the newest one leaked (".3"?) if you haven't!

Best radio image

Looking to see what some people are using for radio images with CM7.

I am using 47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11. I am very happy with this one as it is much improved over stock radio. In downtown I usually get absolutely terrible 3G connection with the stock, but with this radio version I am able to actually get semi-decent 3G.
+1 - 47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11 has been working very well for me.
Same here.
Can you use it with 2.2.2?

Yep, I have it installed on my spare Aria with 2.2.2
I believe that's the version that's part of the 2.2.2 RUU isn't it?

Probably is. I flashed a different radio and I have noticed poor performance gps wise.
You included a radio image in your thread I believe so I will try that one.

I am using the 35.11 radio too...my 3G coverage has been better, since switching to it, but my GPS has not as good since. It take me 1-2 mins atleast to lock the GPS in Maps every time I try it. It doesn't matter which ROM or fix I try, it locks slower, even consecutive lock with the same ROM.

Hello im kinda new to this so forgive my ignorance...
I just flashed CM7 v7.0.0RC4
just worth mentioning i wiped data reset wiped cache...forgot to wipe dalvik cache
any way flashed over fine and was working great i enabled 2g connection only because i dont have a data plan and dont want one but now my cell connection is kinda wacky it sends texts fine but calls dont work properly (drops them immediately) and signal reception is bad it will randomly drop signal for long periods of time.
Now will flashing a radio image fix this problem or have i don something wrong?
BTW have tried rebooting powering off my phone etc dosent work any ideas?

4G drop issue

Alright. So I have been wandering the forum and can't find a thing about this. When I'm using my 4g I seem to hit a point (100 mb or so) when the 4g just disappears. and WILL NOT come back till I do a battery pull. I have used the 4g on off app thing. I have tried ##778* (although I feel like there might be an answer in this menu still.) all in all it is frustrating when I'm downloading a 500mb rom from here and it cuts out 1/5 of the way through and just won't come back
does anyone else have this issue? and yes I have 2-3 bars of coverage at my house, so it should not be a reception issue at all.
thank you for the help!!
Hmmmm...not sure....4g drops out for me but thats only because im on their edge of coverage....never had it drop cuz of downloading a certain amount...what rom are u using?
Well I'm on ics business sense. I would assume the rom but it has done that from the beginning. I only lose 4G when I'm downloading something. Otherwise I have it all the time at home.

It's an ICS thing. The new update messed with our signal. The only way to fix it is to S-Off and go back to Gingerbread.

Sorry for the late reply, you can search for modems I can provide a link if necessary but a Google search should be fine and you will need to root and have cwm installed to do this or use a flash tool or Odin if you have a galaxy,

I use to get full five bars at home using GB, after updated to ICS (SuperSayain rom) I pretty much only getting 3 bars. What I did was in the mobile network setting, changed mode from auto to WCDMA only and so far i've been getting pretty much 5 bar most of the time with occasionally dropped down to 4. hope this works for you too.
I am also having this strange issue. So is reverting to GB the only way or can you just flash the gb radio? Anybody know anymore about this??
Same issue here. At home used to get full 5 bars, now 3 sometimes 4, which is fine as I am usually on WiFi anyway. Problem is I had great signal all throughout my daily commute to work to where there is sections of my drive that I have no signal. Before in that area it would revert to EDGE from 4G and mine is set to auto.
Just believe like everyone else mentioned that it is the ICS radio. Hopefully an update will fix it

No. And to the people talking about modems and odin and.. yea, no. We don't have modems to flash, and odin is just for samsung devices. Until now we couldn't flash a radio if we WANTED to.
You know the iPhone's fix when people were talking about how bad the signal was for the iPhone4? They had been boosting the REPORTED signal strength. So did HTC, so did Samsung, so did.. all of them. You'd drop a call when it showed you had GOOD signal.
Not a single person has posted about having ACTUAL worse issues. The OP said he can make calls and talks about how many bars.
Apple's opinion:
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars.

People here are having the OPPOSITE problem, it LOOKS like you should have an issue, and you don't.. but people keep posting about it even tho there hasn't been any issues.
This is the ONLY person who had actual signal issues(Weird Interference/Reception Call Issues on my Amaze) I have seen since ICS dropped, and it turned out to be a hair on the contact for the antennae. Read his thread, he methodically checked quality and could answer basic questions - and then he fixed the actual problem.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if someone is ACTUALLY having problems, they actually can't make calls, drop calls where they didn't before, etc.. then there is probably a problem that can be fixed. But unless you are having those issues it is likely that the signal strength you're seeing is more accurate(EXACTLY like the apple quote I put above), they are just doing a better job of SHOWING the actual signal. Which is good, no unexpected dropped calls or BS.

Don't know if that's the case because when I so connect its fast. Just as fast as the first day of the month. I do have the 5gb plan and have never hit it. Been close but never hit it. I'm going to call just in case. You do have a good point.
Do a speedtest. If its 60 kb/s and steady, or something similar, that's your issue

Why does my signal do this?

When I'm sitting at my desk, my phone (Droid X2) will have 4-5 bars with 3g showing. I place a call, 3g goes away(as expected) and I get 1 bar and I lose calls... Why would it fall back to a weaker signal to place a voice call? I understand that data can voice can't happen at the same time on a CDMA signal... But this drastic a difference for calls?
Hi, how do you hold it? After having started to grab it higher and leave the lower part with the antenna out of my palm, it cured it's signal issues.
Best regards,
V
V you have the x2 confused with an iphone this phone will keep almost the exact same signal if you wrap it completely in both hands. This is a software issue that usually only happened on stock and confuses the hell out of verizon reps. I would recommend a SBF to 2.3.4 and then going with cm7/cm9 for a ROM

I actually did this today, and before I even posted. I'm on the CM9 RC1 Alpha 5...Love it, BTW.
I haven't done any build.prop mods yet. I'm fairly worried I'll break something as this is a alpha build.

If you're talking about the build.prop mods that are floating around on the development forums, they're already in alpha 5.

your office would not happen to have one of those Verizon network extenders would it? I have one and found out that th DX2 won't work with it and behaves just as you described. 6 calls to customer services get me no fix for it, they gave up and conceded its a problem with DX2s
No my office is in my home.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda app-developers app
Try changing your mobile networks settings. See if a different setting of roaming changes the behavior. You might find you are roaming on data and picking up a nearby out of network 3g tower then when you go to voice it favors a more distant in-network tower. Also download the app OpenSignal and see what that tells you about local towers.
And switch from bars to text for your signal, a real number will tell you things a set of bars really can't

Return it and get another phone while you still can. If you read on here long enough you'll see the many problems that arise from this POS phone. If you are going to stay with it you will probably be forced into a custom ROM just to make it work right. Memory is one of the main culprits that keep this phone from performing well. Every other phone that has come out since then that has 1GB of memory or higher has either had an opportunity to get more updates or better performing custom ROMs.

ViperROM 4G

Im using viper rom and I actually love it.
Has anyone tried a custom kernel with this rom?
or should I switch to meanrom and try one.
Useing Enoch ATM, Have also used Evilz and awesomesauce. All work well, you just have to try them all to see which works best for you. Next time, try reading through the thread. Might find your answer alot quicker. ,,,,,,

Well if course you did. CM10 is in its infancy still with wakelock issues and no custom kernels. I can easily destroy CM10 battery life with a polished Sense ROM and Evilz running it. But then... I wouldn't have... CM10.

Gotcha...I thought that might be the case. Everyone has indicated that CM10 is just about ready for an official release though so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm back on viper now until the wakelock issues are resolved and 5ghz wifi is supported...that's a must for me because all my neighbors are blowing up the entire 2.4 band so I get noticeably slower speeds.

Why are your neighbors on your WiFi?? Haha I hope this isn't a personal network?
I think the wakelock issue is MUCH better than it was a mere week ago, but I'm sure they'll keep tweaking. We're still in alpha stage (although nearing beta I believe), so things will still improve!

Lol they're not actually connecting to my personal network, but a lot of people in my neighborhood are using the 2.4ghz band in close proximity for their networks. There are at least 5 networks on each of the main non overlapping channels (1,6,11) and even a few on the in between channels, all with pretty decent signals. They are just crowding the spectrum so I get interference from them on my network (i mainly use my phone while sitting outside). I've got the only 5ghz network in the area (that I can see anyway), so I prefer to use that one because the spectrum is clean.
I will definitely be keeping an eye on cm10 though...after my experience with cm7 on the OG, I just won't feel right until I'm back in the aosp world.
Sent from my EVO LTE
To all above. thanks for the information. as for CM10, I agree with the 5ghz wifi. The houses near me all have 2.4ghz causing major channel interference. it sucks. plus, i like viper. Now to install it. Too bad ps3 is 2.4 only
