Signal issues DX2 - Motorola Droid X2

I have a dx2 with cm7 and have been having signal issues, only with 3g no cell issues. The signal strength stays above -80 dbm most of the time, while my dads hunderbolt hangs around -63dbm and we have a cell tower in sight of us, has anyone here found a way to remedy this other then getting a new phone?

Has it been a recent issue? Ive noticed on my DX2CM7 the past couple days that my 3G has been cutting out and the speed is VERY slow. On average today im getting about 32kB/s down and 120kB/s up.

Im lucky to get that good of speed, its been on and off not to bad. Ive been noticing its been alot worse lately.

I applied some mods I found and the 3g works allot better even though I still get a bad signal.

My average signal is -91 and with those mods i usually get great speed but cm7rc1 doesn't seem to play nice like rc0 did, hmmm...

Gotta ask an off topic question...where in the north do you roam? And I am unsure as well.. I have always ran those mods and never seen any ill affects with any rom...although I have not run rc1

Usually in Minnesota at the moment, but roamed North Dakota and Montana for 4/6 months I hit Michigan a couple times a year, little bit of Wisconsin too.
I never had any issues with the mods on rc0 but rc1 came out and i had to flash it, now im thinking bout heading back to eclipse and the lovely poison green for awhile

There's an app on google play called 3g/4g speed optimizer, I have it set on little fast and it has given a bit more speed. It does consume more battery and get a little hotter though but thats only when downloading or browsing the web.

I compared my wife's dx2 signal (stock) to mine (RC1) and they were exactly the same.

Well that atleast proves the CM isnt responsible for poor signal.

Wow just read this thread. I can honestly say since rc1 I have had my 3g trip out(not working). But I rebooted and it went away.

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.

Faster Spring 3g

Did anybody else experience increased 3g speeds as of today??
I went from 50-100kb to 700kb+ today. I was like "wuuhhh"
Sprint got their act together for the release of the Galaxy Nexus today.
I am in South Florida BTW.

Wow! After what seemed like two weeks of worse than dial-up speed, I just ran a test (same time in the evening as the abysmal speeds) and I am back up to pre-iphone speeds, avg around 1.2-1.6 Mbps. SE NC here.

Download speed issues.

I've been using the speedtest.net app to test this wonderful LTE speed pretty much everywhere I go. When I tested it several times inside the building at work Monday I got roughly 20mbps. Earlier today (Wednesday) I tested it several more times and was consistently getting 14-16mbps which is still good. Just now I tested it several more times and I'm only getting roughly 4-6 mbps! What gives? All of these tests have been done in the same spot in the same building. Should I be alarmed? Please help!

Blame it on the LTE service not the phone. I have 3 LTE towers with 10 miles of eachother and the same thing happens. But I can consistently hit 20+ mbps on a good day.

If there are not 10,000 ppl using lte when u do ur speed test, the speeds should be awesome, but... if there are 10,000 ppl using it, and all trying to dload stuff t the same time.... well, its gonna slow down.
Just like a wifi router at home... just me surfing, dl'ing stuff... speed is unreal... but get the gf with her ipad goin, the kids playing xbox, and whatever other devices are connected and using the web... speeds slow down... same concept. More ppl using the network = slower speeds.
yeah, the 4G LTE network is still relatively new and will keep growing. Not unlike the early 3G days. It'll get bogged down by high traffic. Just be glad you're getting 4G consistently. Around here in western NY, it's hit and miss. More often than not, I'm on 3G.

ICS Radio Vs GB Radio

Hi Guys I just got the OTA this moring for ICS and ive noticed that reception is not very good. With GB It was amazing for me. And im not talking BARS im talking about TRUE signal. Sometimes I have no data, and no 3G, Or signal Period in spots where I had with GB.
Can I go back to the GB radio and use it on ICS? If so can someone tell me where I can get the radio and flash it?
Thanks!
My radios are still the same. Strong as ever. Wi-Fi range is great too.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Mine signal went to crap too. At work I get 5 bars on GB and now I get only 2 on ICS. That's wack
Droid RAZR Maxx
One thing they DID do when developing ICS was to make the signal meter more accurate. Apparently, it was reading too high before because of the algorithm used. I don't have the link handy, but it was discussed here recently.
And, in the case of MANY updates like this... sometimes a therapeutic hard reset is needed to shake off any residual file issues from the old OS. My tablet needed that when it got it's ICS update.
My lte and phone signal has been great today! I was having issues with my data dropping consistently on .211. Then again right now I'm in arkansas instead of dallas so there's probably far fewer people on the lte towers here. We'll see tomorrow night when I get home.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Im not talking about how the bars read. My actual SIGNAL is worse. I cant get ANY signal in spots where I had FULL signal before.
Anyone have the GB radio?
There was an article published from google on this. ICS reports the signal differently. It reports it more accurately. Your signal is the same. If you THINK it's different it is strictly placebo effect.

Network Speed Testing: Speedtest

This morning I was outside with my wife and decided to run a speed test to see how well my home WiFi connection was on the patio. Then I switched over to AT&T and... WOW! My best result by far. Currently running stock JB and Mystery Faux 4.1 kernel.
Lets see everyone's results...

LTE is no joke. I've been trying to tell my friends that it makes HSPA + feel like dial up. I only have 2-3 bars right now. I'll come back and post when I can get a better signal.
LA area. Much better than pre jb speeds. Still nowhere near the 40+mbps I was getting in Oakland.

I'm a against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
Makes you think paying for a ISP is a waste when you got LTE. Im on T-Mobile LTE and I average 14-20mbps in washington dc.
I agree. I've been debating dropping Cox internet.. but then I have to pay to tether and even with "unlimited" data.. I'll end up getting throttled..

That's more than 50x my home internet. For some reason the 1.5 I'm paying for is currently only hitting .6 down. Time to complain to Centurylink

I have noticed my throttled speeds are higher on LTE than they were when I was on a non 4G phone.
My throttled LTE speeds are actually as fast as my HSPA+ full speed was, (8Mb/s)
Luckily I haven't seen those dial up speeds since I've had my LGOG

Low network speed
I was in an AT&T store playing with various phones (I haven't decided which phone I want yet) and one of the tests I ran was speedtest. Turned off wifi on an HTC One, SGS4, and LGOG. The SGS4 and One both grabbed ~22/~6 down/up speeds, but the LGOG was in the ~6/~2 down/up range. All AT&T employees were really busy, so I couldn't ask them for help.
Can anyone think of a reason why this would happen? I ran the test multiple times. (I didn't try to troubleshoot other than rerunning the test)
The network was probably really bogged down by multiple people using the network off the same tower. "Heavy traffic"..
Correct me if I'm wrong. Just my educated guess.
As you can see from the above speed tests.. the LGOG has no problem getting high speeds
Also did you check to see what network it was on...
4G or HSPA+.... the symbol would have said 4GLTE or 4G respectively
