I've been getting annoying service issues the past few days. I did in another state about 10 min away. And another county about 25min away. I keep leasing data. Or it will go in to emerancy calls only which makes me think its switching over to tmobile. Anyone know whats going on? Its not the area cause another att phone with me both times didn't have an issue at all! Im running surorom 7. With stock modem. Any one have an idea?
As I am typing this my phone done it. And it also likes to switch to edge a few times while in town.

opps. haha I just noticed. I dont know how I wound up here.
I have an I-777 and i keep having the same exact issue. It seems to happen alot when I'm more than 5 miles from home or work (where I spend 90% of my time.) I was on Omega with neak kernel and newest leak modem (***3 forgetting letters atm). Any help would be great I typically have great service and hspa+ all of the areas I travel.
Try replacing the sim card

Sorry to be a bother. I have serached numerious post about simular problems with details pretaining to a fix in this matter. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777. The Rom I am currently running is ShoStock V.2.2.6, Android 4.0.3 with the cheerypicker Kernel and bandband ver.I777UCPLCS. The problem I have been having and did not have before flashing this rom, is that my 3G signal and HSPA+ notification keeps flickering back and forth. Plus my data speed have slowed up a bit. Yes, I could flash back to another rom but I really like the features of this one. Is there a fix to this problem is it a known problem? Thanks so much.
Try a different modem.
Also H+ only shows when using data, if not it will show the 3g instead.

I figured that LiLChris. But it keeps flickering back and forth. Plus this is mow happening in areas that I once had a full H+ signal with very fast speeds.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
The flickering is part of ShoStock and most other ROMs. It shows you the true connection; as LiLChris said, it uses H+ only when using data, and defaults to 3G when no data is being sent. AT&T usually just hides this and makes it show H+ all the time, even though that's not accurate.
I know, it freaked me out at first too lol. As for data speeds, try different modems and also changing APN settings.
EDIT: I didn't know the problem was when you're sending data (you posted a couple secs before I did). APN settings and a different modem may help you out with that.
Sounds like modem issues as stated. In my area modems can vary by up to 2mbs depending on which one I try

Is flashing different modems cut and dry? Is there a place to go and see what modems in my area are good to use?

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.

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

Browsing the net and playing a net based game, i get really long delays when loading anything. I havent experienced this on my s3, or when i had the dna. Has anyone else had this experience? When it happens i home button the app, open speed test and it tests great. Running 4.2.1Pa build, latest l4 modem, and basic kernel.

I'm noticing faster 4g but slower 4g with the new modem. I wish we had someone who could repackage them with 3g from the original modem and 4g from the new one and vice versa, on the thunderbolt we had this, not sure if it's possible on Samsung phones.
I've noticed much slower data since taking the 4.1.2 ota. My phone is completely stock. Is anyone else seeing this? I've been perfectly happy with stock until now, but Verizon has crossed the line With this one.

Yes, I've noticed that too. So I tried different custom roms but no difference.
If i had to guess the ota had nothing to do with it, rather than vzw rolling out a bunch of updates at the same time thus congesting the network. My speeds and signal are drastically improved.

Your data speeds are primarily affected by the baseband that you are running. I'd visit the Android Development section of the Galaxy Note 2 and locate the Galaxy Note 2 modems thread.
I was getting slower data too with newer AMC3 modem, but I flashed back to ALL4 modem and blazing fast data again.
