Hey I'm wondering if anyone is have an issue where they have one bar of signal on CM7. I did other roms before they pulled 4/4 or 5/6 bars I was running the old MR2 RADIO now I'm running the new leaked radio I still have the same results with the one bar.
-Thundercats are go!
Covered many times in the CM7 thread. It's a rendering problem. Signal strength is the same.
Yeah I tried the search button in the XDA app but it goes to others Roms. But thank you!
-Thundercats are go!
I had -58 db LTE signal and it displayed 2/4 bars lol. I don't mind this bug personally

How???Where cna i find ?...but i dont have root,recovery.
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.

THere is no other way???(((
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

If it's just a radio can we just flash an older one??

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

I just hope antenna signal is great on this phone. In the store my Photon had a 72 dbm and filled blue data bars where as the EVO antenna bars were white and filled but DBM was 102....not sure why! Can any one confirm the deal on this?
Motorola will always get a better signal than an HTC. I love the looks of sense but I couldn't give up a superior signal for anything else.

With 4 bars I'm at 86dbm and moto has the best radios.....

When I'm at work, on a sense ROM, I usually have 3 or 4 bars of service in 3g. However, on 4.2.2 ROMs, I get 1 to 2 bars and on some I get no signal at all. Why is this and can I do anything to fix it? It seems like anything other than official cyanogen ROMs, I barely get any signal.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yup its a problem for me too. Most of the time its fine but if I'm in a fringe area my service stinks compared to sense. I don't know of any solutions but it really isn't a deal breaker for me

How do u know if u get 3-4 bars of 3g on sense? The only way to tell is via DBm. Besides all bars have different dBm limits across sense/tw/aosp. Only way to see if u get less 3g signal is via DBm on sense and aosp

What he said
I have the exact same issue and while, no, I haven't confirmed the ACTUAL signal strength, there is an OBVIOUS difference in performance. Anecdotal evidence, yes, but I'm in the same places day in and day out and the results are easily repeated over and over. I have no idea what the issue is, either.
Viper rom I get -105 while sitting in my living room. Any 4.2.2 rom with the new kernel I get -130 in the exact same spot.

Got a question I flashed the latest carbon rom and I am getting less then normal 4g signal strength anything I can do to get better signal. What if I flash a new radio? And if so what radio? I heard that custom rooms use lte4g13 and stock used lte14 is that true?
Thanks Amy help would be grateful.

The radio more depends on the towers in your area and yes the ril. Ive noted on most custom ports the signal strength is usually weaker than stock. But overall this is a problem with Sammy antennae. Most other companies get way better signal than Samsung.
