Poor Signal,Battery Drain and Low Vol going to a bar... - HTC Amaze 4G

Hello
got myself an AMAZE well it well built brick ^_^ having the Energy Rom june 21th on it the
Kernel 3.0.16-ga4b83c
[email protected] #1
Baseband 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15D
i having 3 main problems :
1. Poor Signal -my crush has SGS2 stocked on 3G network she got full bars on her phone
and mine keeps "playin" some time signal is gone and going back to 2~4
what can be the problem?
i'v changed the band to WCDMA only...same problem.
the Amaze is using the back cover as an antenna so it seems...
when im take it off the signal drop to 0 and the wifi signal dropped to 0 bars.
2. battery drain - well...the Energy rom is battery wise but i have massive drain from 100% to 61 in less then 2hr,i think the battery reading is wrong.
3. Ear Piece Low Volume - during a call i can hear clearly but the volume is too low is there any way to increase the volume a bit?
*bonus Q* the camera app in not the stock one (some kind of blue square) how can i revert back to stock?
^_^ hope that u can help me out .
regards

I won't be able to give you a complete answer but a part (big part) of the battery drain may come from the low signal problem: the antenna is using maximum power to keep the connection up so it draws a lot of battery.
For the signal problem was it the same with the stock ROM or with another baseband?

i bought it 2hand it came with soff root and custom rom.

NRG's ROM is having battery issues from what I've been reading. ICS is known to have some signal issues. What is your build version?
Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> More
I have no issues with the volume. Did you increase the volume as you are on the phone? lol

Also if you think it's a battery cover issue, call HTC and they'll send you a replacement for free under warranty.

Than try another rom, you got nothing to loose and it will confirm what we say.
For my part the only problem I got with ics is my wifi at home which takes 15-20 minutes before being found by my phone everywhere else it's OK. The cellular network is as good as on GB and for the rest I just love the ROM I'm on actually.

im on Custom Rom with EXT4 Touch RECOVERY i just need to download an CR put it on my SD card
and install it via the EXT4 ?
its the first time for me of flashing kernels and $hit$

Yep, pretty simple to flash a ROM while s-off (and supercid if you use a rom based on another carrier than yours) just download it, it will already be on the SD card on /sdcard/Download or /sdcard/sd-ext/Download depending on the settings.
Once the download is finished just reboot into recovery, make a backup first after this full wipe is a good idea though not always necessary and then you select install a zip from SD card and you just browse to the downloaded zip.
I am not absolutely sure of the following but I think that the only reason why it could fail is that the ROM you try to flash is not from your carrier and you are not supercid. It would be a good idea to check if you are supercid before flashing.
Just ask how to supercid if you are too lasy for reading and have no idea of what is fastboot.

Battery issue with NRG?
I am using NRG Stock look and have excellent battery performance.
Could you direct me to some of the posts with the problems.

S3 performance decrease after new 4.1.1 update?

So I updated my S3 to the latest Android version 4.1.1 and ever since i've had some issues. Firstly, it's taken a hit on it's performance, it's nowhere near as quick and responsive as it was before I updated (this is the first firmware update i've done since having it)
I've also noticed that my phone doesnt vibrate when receiving text messages. With sound on, the sound does make the noise it's supposed to, just no vibration, also when the actual phone is on vibrate mode, texts dont vibrate when received - the phone vibrates when I receive calls though.
I've checked the settings and everything is how it should be, so i'm not sure why this happens - has anyone else noticed this and also, how can I roll back to the previous firmware version!?
I have been using custom roms on my gs3 since day one ( 4 and a half months ago ) so i cant comment on performance of stock roms, but my my phone is faster than ever with Insert Coin 2.3.1 JB. Considering custom roms are based on official roms i would suggest doing a hard reset cause your device should be faster after the update. To enable the vibration you must do it within the settings of the message app. Open messages, press the menu button and enable vibration. Excuse my english. Hope this helps.

First day with custom rom user too.
I suggest ditching the stock firmware and try some custom one.
It's easy and no harm can be done(if you do it right of course)
The one i settled in the end is Foxhound so i'd reccomend you to use that one.
You can skip the kernel part and have the stock one but there are lots of good ones out there,so i'd suggest to start with Yank Lou kernel or galaxiysh since those are close to stock and don't need user adjustments.
If you need something more advanced to give you control try Perseus(i'm using this right now) or Siyah.
Cheers,George.

factory reset .... not always necessary after an upgrade ... but if there are any performance issues after flashing often sorts things - I ALWAYS did a factory reset after flashing my old SGS1 as it was very susceptible to flakey performance post-flashing for example.
...and upgrading from ICS to JB ... I'd reset if not completely happy.
That is true. Real multitasking was gone on JB.

My S3 also was very slow first. Then suddenly it ran fast a few hours after the update. Now again the launcher very often hangs up.

I don't think it is anyhow faster than ICS it only looks faster through modulation of the animations.
Anyhow it is not slower after all though the benchmarks suggests it might be a bit slower.
I think that data wiping can fix many issues. if you would like to go back to ICS, all what you need is to visit samfirmware.com ,download your suitable rom and flash it through Odin which I prefer so much over the OTA
problem with charging
hey guys i am facing a problem with charging my s3 ever since i did the official update to jelly bean a few days ago the problem is that it is taking about 10 hrs to just finish charging from 10-15% of battery to 100% this is one of the major reason why i finally decided to root and finally install a custom rom but it doesn't that the problem is fixed as my phone is on charging as i post its battery level just went from 9% to 25% in the last 2 hrs. can any body pls post any help regarding this problem that i'm facing? I shall point out that before the update my phone would charge up from 10% to 100% in 2-2.5 hrs

Thanks for your input guys, I think I might look into getting a custom ROM. I won't mod my phone too heavily, maybe find a nice battery saving app and also a few performance tweaks. It seems like there's so many out there I don't know which one to choose! I flashed my HTC sensation when I had it and for that I used the android revolution HD and didnt face any issues (that I can remember) so I might use this, or just see how I go. I havent looked too much into flashing for the S3 so I guess I best start looking!
Guys,
So i've just rooted my phone and installed the android revolution HD ROM by mike1986 and its ALOT faster than when it was on stock!
Whilst i'm here, what's the BEST way to save battery life? I know they're mentioned all the time but has anyone actually noticed any difference when trying to save it at all?
i must say JB is very good in performance..
using Omega v31 here... damn smooth

[Q] Which Modem/RIL/ROM combination is most stable for travelling?

I will be traveling soon. I have the JellyBean leak by izap on my phone right now... The battery life is somewhat ok, but I have network issues with it sometimes. People can't get to me even when my phone shows full signal strength. Therefore, I would like to know if there is a Modem/Ril/Rom combination that features stability and is most suitable for making and receiving calls internationally. It would also be good if the combination isn't a battery sucker while searching for network while not in range.(Because this seems to be an issue with many people :-/ )
While traveling these are my top requirements from the GS2:
Stability- no SoD or incompatibility with networks abroad.
Battery life- no battery drain while it isn't being used
GPS- quick locks in remote areas (I already seem to have a solution for this; but haven't tested it yet)
Camera- no pink spot or noise (Could you also recommend a good camera firmware for Fujitsu M5MOLS that fixes FPS issues and pink spot? -I've tried solution in every Camera issue thread I could find on the forum, but I still get pink spot)
Thanks! I'm looking forward to your replies! :fingers-crossed:
Just in case this question isn't in compliance with the forum rules, then I'll be sorry and the Mods can move it/delete it.
If it were me Id just go back to Samsungs proper stock rom/modem.Then when I come back,Id change it back to what I liked.

Thanks for the answer... But I wanted to know of a combination of any rom(stock, custom, etc) and Modem/RIL that provides good compatibilty with overseas networks and isn't infamous for draining the battery... And stable

To be honest your expectations are too high.Your wanting what everyone on here wants,and it doesnt exist.This is why were all tinkering with roms.
In some of requirements,while one thing improves,another will diminish i.e battery life.
I currently use rooted GB stock,stripped down with all the crap removed.I used to use nelp3 modem(gave best signal),but according to callers,speech was choppy.
I'm on NeatRom Lite 4.0 (JB leak), and see in better battery stats that "No or unknown signal" is 99.3%, and I have been in areas with good reception all day, so something is not right with the LS6 modem here in Norway. And I'm not sure if there is any other modem/ril for JB leak?
As for stability and battery time, CM9 stable worked great for me, so maybe have a look at that? With litle use, batterydrain where less than 10% pr 24hour on stock battery...

You can use other modems for Leaked jb but not other rils.
Leave ther ril alone and change the modem. Read through the thread for information how to change modems.
Will it not make phone reception worse if ril is not matched to modem?

No, Modem will reception will be improved somewhat but not 100 % because the mismatch.
Before the ril modem relationship was discovered people use to change modems with out any problems whatsoever.

Maybe someone can suggest a good stripped down rom for battery life,in case you arent near a charger.

I see in here that I should be using a XW modem, and not the XX in the leaked jb rom, so I better try another modem and see how it works out.
@jj_95nano You should probably have a look at the modems for the region you are travelling (2 first letters), but as that thread has not been updated since summer, I don't know if theire recommended modems are still valid...
You could also maybe check the signal strength of your provider on where your going.
I went on holiday recently where the tmobile reception was crap,and vodafone was a lot better.
*gets into a dilemma*
Just flashed the latest stock ICS 4.0.4 for my region... There are many bugs and FCs... I wanna flash GB, but the GB for my region is infamous for its battery drain. I guess I'll keep CWM Backups of different ROMs and try them out when I'm on the go. :-/
Depends where your going ^^
If I was taking my S2 over seas, I'd get a sim card for that region (could prob get one prior to travel), leave a redirect to no. on my voicemail. Then I would get a cwm flashable modem for the region & install it on the plane to destination. Rom wise, MIUI gb/ics - would be your best bet... everything works out of the box. Stay away from JB, unless you have a laptop handy, then it wouldn't really matter

Okay.. So I'm downloading MIUI and I have some modems of the places I'm gonna go to. The only problem is everytime I flash a modem there will be a Modem+RIL mismatch... But actually to solve that I can flash only one modem for the country I'll be in the longest. Let's see how it goes!

Yep I'm on a plan with international roaming... I finally got MIUI ICS and NeatROM Lite dual booted. The modems on the ROMs are matching with RIL and don't seem to be draining battery, so I think I'll stick to these.

[Q] Battery use higher since 4.1.2.. but why? (stock)

When I got my SGS3, I could have it on for about 2 days (with minimal use and bluetooth and gps off and such), but ever since I updated to 4.1.2 (from ICS to JB), it looks like the battery drains a lot faster. So I got Titanium Backup and removed most of Samsung's' bloatware, disabled Google now and finally got BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint the source. I found some minor things and disabled them too... I've optimized all settings across the board, yet I still can't get much longer than one day.
Now I get that one day is nice, and most people charge every day, but when you're used to having 2 days (or at least 1.5 on normal use), 1 day is just.. less
So, I am kind of hoping that someone with more knowledge than me (basically everyone here ) would have a look at my BBS dump file, because I'm kind of at a loss.
It would be much appreciated!

Do you mean "Location determined by wi-fi and/or mobile networks"? Isn't that used (among other things) to find the GPS sattelites way faster (because if it knows where you are, it knows where the sattelites are)? Because I use my phone for car navigation, I really would prefer not to wait 5 minutes while my phone searches the sky for GPS...
I'll turn the option off for now, but do you really think that's the main problem? Because I had the option on before this update.
Still, thank you for your suggestion
Location by wifi is unrelated to GPS location, it's just a way of roughly fixing your location by the networks and wifi around you.
It's a battery hog and doesn't matter AGPS, which is used to speed up GPS fixes but gets downloaded via your data connection.
I found JB to be better for battery life that ICS, even on a stock ROM. Since changing to a minimumcustom ROM based on the latest stock I get two days use with around 6hr screen on time.
If you are still on stock that was updated from ICS then you might be better off wiping the phone and flashing a fresh install, even if you only use the stock JB ROM for your country, as things might have become corrupted over time.

I think your issue is fast dormancy as you have the secril_fd wakelock.
There is an app on playstore that can toggle fast dormancy on or off on the Galaxy S3.
Give it a try and see if things improve.

Ok, I've installed it and turned FD off... I'll do a full charge now and see how long that keeps. Thanks for your suggestion! Is FD a new feature since JB? Because I haven't changed providers so if this has always been the case, it's probably still a seperate problem.
To be completely sure, I'd still like to do the complete reinstall, so I would really appreciate it if someone would point me in the direction of official updated stock roms. Thanks!

You can reset it completely through Kies if you go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Installation and follow the instructions this will flash the latest firmware and reset your phone, do any backups you need first like contacts etc, then root the phone again or do whatever you want afterwards.
FD is not new. It just depends whether you provider supports it or not. If it is not supported and switched on it can cause battery drain.
Saying that my network does support it but when I first upgraded to XELLA I started getting the secril_fd wakelock. Switching off FD solved it at the time. Since then I have made a few changes, including modem and have switched it back on again without issue.
I noticed you've also got the Multipdp wakelock. A modem change sorted that one for me.
As I say I've since moved back to XELLA without issue and neither wakelock has returned.

I've found all the JB ROMs that I've tried to consume alot more battery than ICS, with the same set of apps running and the same location/sync settings. I eventually reverted to CheckROM 3.5 (ICS) to get decent battery life again.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think that's my problem though: my provider hasn't changed, the only thing that changed is that I upgraded to JB. Either way, I tested it: with FD off I still have pretty much the same result (maybe a bit better, but I need to properly test that. Yet it's definitely not the problem ). Too bad, it was a good suggestion.

Thank you! I just did this. I expected that all my settings would be gone, but apparently that's not the case. All my apps remain, so I wonder if this wiped it properly? I did lose root though. Well, I'll charge it to 100% and we'll see what happens from there. Thanks!
Perhaps rolling back to your previous modem would help.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think that's my problem though: my provider hasn't changed, the only thing that changed is that I upgraded to JB. Either way, I tested it: with FD off I still have pretty much the same result (maybe a bit better, but I need to properly test that. Yet it's definitely not the problem ). Too bad, it was a good suggestion.
Thank you! I just did this. I expected that all my settings would be gone, but apparently that's not the case. All my apps remain, so I wonder if this wiped it properly? I did lose root though. Well, I'll charge it to 100% and we'll see what happens from there. Thanks!

overnight it lost 25% in 11h42m, so I'd say that's a definite improvement. It didn't see any use in this time, but it should last me at least 1.5 day now, so I guess the problem was in the update after all. The battery of my (6 months newer) SGS3 still holds out longer, but I think that's the battery itself: hers also charges faster than mine.
Thank you all, for helping to think up solutions and get it working for me again! :victory:
Edit: Multipdp is now a lot higer up in the list (it's the top partial wakelock), maybe I should change modems. Can someone tell me how?

[Q] 2 Identical Rezounds- 2 different outcomes in battery life and LTE speeds

I have two identical Rezounds, both setup using the great Reventech's Guide to How to Downgrade, Factory Restore and Fully Upgrade the Rezound. So, both are S-OFF and running the Factory ROM now.
However, each phone performs way differently and I can't figure out why. The phones have way different battery life, and way different LTE data performance. I'm using GSAM Battery Monitor to measure battery life, and Speedtest application to monitor throughput.
Phone 1:
This phone has decent battery life (I get about 24 hours of battery life in standby), but it has very low data transfer rates in LTE.
View attachment 2446943
View attachment 2446944
Phone 2:
This phone has terrible battery life (drains battery in standby in about 4 hours) but has decent LTE transfer speeds.
View attachment 2446945
View attachment 2446946
I am sure it's not a battery or antenna problem (I've swapped the batteries around and the back covers). I've tried loading different ROM's (Carbon, Tachyon, LiquidSmooth) and the problems seem to be the same.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong???:crying:

its probably the phones motherboard...2 seperate types can have different outcomes....you can check by going to about phone>status>serial number...if it starts with a different letter than the other...its a whole different motherboard....slightly different but are very identical

Thank you Reventech-
One phones serial number is HT19XS22......... the other is HT1AWS2.............
Anyhow, for phone 1 can you suggest what I can do to fix the low data rate? And for phone 2 what I can do to reduce the current draw?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

for overheat go through all stepps on my downgrade upgrade guide as thats what fixed my ht1 serial number rezound overheating as for data i honrstly can only suggest making sure radios are updated with hboot and make sure phone is set to lte/gsm/cdma auto (prl) or lte/cdma auto prl in the hidden menu accessed by going to dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*

im on latest hboot 2.28 with the 2.23 radios found in my upgrade guide....on my beta kernel build and my beta gsm only 4.4 build....those have nothing to do with overheating...another thing that can cause overheat is using stuff like kernal tuner or overclocing your kernal....from what i hear dsb runs great but sucks alot of power
Edit...what i suggest for anyone is funky kernel and an older 4.3 rom for now...for example i had good luck with pac-man and carbon from late september to early october releases which can still be found....

Well, I did both phones all the way from the downgrade upgrade guide exactly as you documented, so kind of think I've got something else going on.
Thanks for the dialer tip, went through that and did confirm phone 1 is on the lte/gsm/cdam auto (prl). Still have the low data rate so no joy.
When I boot to HBOOT, both phones show the following:
HBOOT 2.28.0000
RADIO 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.104r
OpenDSP-V14.6.0.7708.00.0507
I hope that means I've got all the updates, right?
Thanks!

yes it does....on the low data one try switching to a different one...toggle airplane mode afterwards for 10 seconds and turn it back on....you may have better luck...also what conditions are the 2 seperate back covers...a pin may not be touching it properly...
Edit: Also just curious...what rom and kenel do you have em on....some roms do act funky and overheat under certain settings or performance set a certain way or even a setting in developer options

Sorry to be dense, but what should I switch to and how, please. Sorry to be a dummy, but I don't quite understand the difference between the RUU's that I ran, and the PH98IMG's that I flashed as part of your procedure.
The back covers are both fine. I did suspect the receive level of one of the phones, but what I discovered was the 4G signal levels are apparently different from the 3G signal levels. Both phones show a signal level of about -91dbm, no matter which cover I have on, so I kind of dismissed signal levels as a problem. Swapping the covers from phone to phone does not solve the data rate issue.

The problems existed with the phones without changing rom and kernel. Just running right after I went through the procedure.
After checking that the stock one I loaded was having the problem, I've now loaded phone 1 with Carbon 20131113 that has [email protected] kernel version 3.0.101-gb2c73c5. Same problem....

as stated you'll want an older version...that was still 4.3 and not 4.3.1 which would be from early october late september....and what i meant by changing is in the dialer menu i showed try various other ones....what is the one with the phone that gets good signal set to....try setting to lte/cdma auto only

Thanks Reventech, I loaded Carbon 4.3 from October 2, same issues. Tried Pac Man 4.3, same thing. I think it is some kind of radio issue, and did set it to lte/cdma auto only, same issue. It looks like it default connects to CDMA. If I set to LTE only, I get worse problems.
One observation, if I choose LTE, the signal level is worse than CDMA. Is there a reason that choosing a different modulation causes a worse signal level?
Anyhow, any more suggestions before I throw the phone out the window?

On second thought, I moved the SIM into my other Rezound (the one that eats the battery extremely fast), and LTE data rate is superb, so I don't think its the SIM.
Maybe I can fix this phone so it does not drain the battery as fast. Any idea? This one is running straight from your Downgrade/Upgrade procedure with no other ROM installed.
Thanks again,

thats my only suggestion as that what has fixed overheating for me and a few others....i think its cause of the motherboard as first mentioned originally....my ht1 motherboard rez would get insanely hot....where as my fa2 motherboard rezound is superb.....i cant think of what else would cause crappy signal exect for hardware related....ie pins on back of phone that touch back cover is faulty or sim slot is dirty

I thank you for your help as always. Guess I have two bad motherboards, one that drains batteries, one that can't get a decent data rate. I've spent far too much of your time (and way too much of mine) on this project. Will have to bite the bullet and buy a new phone.
Thanks again:laugh:

Problem with network signal on Sim 1 or Sim 2

I use a X829 4/64 GB and i recently noticed that i DO NOT HAVE ANY MOBILE NETWORK SIGNAL on Sim 1 (no data no calls). The truth is that during the last time i stopped using my le max 2 as my daily phone, so although i flashed many different " eui" roms i did not tried to insert my sim cards in the phone and try make any calls as i had no problem in the past. Yesterday i flashed AICP - Oreo - X2 (very good by the way) and this time i have the same problem with Sim 2. Some members have created similar threads in the past but i did not found any solution. I really wonder if someone here has any idea or any solution

Just to notice that, although i am not totally sure (since i had to use my phone for a long time), i think that the network quality is also better now as i think that i have better signal than before

Or did you first got back to stock?

I did not went back to stock. I flashed the zip when i was on latest Cuoco92 23s rom (coming from Oreo, as i was trying to find a solution) and then i flashed Oreo again. In both cases i had both sim cards wotking with a better (as i belieeve) network signal than the previous months i used my phone
I had the same problem with my network and the newest cuoco92 rom, but flashing the zip-file of andr68rus seems to have solved the problem! At least at the moment, the networks works again und I also have the feeling, the strength of the connection is much better than ever before!
Update:
The flash somehow only worked shortly. After a day or so, I had the same problem again. No network at all ( (neither data nor for phone calls), although the phone shows good network connetction! Strange.

For testing reasons i'm using the phone continuously for more than two weeks and i have not any problem at all. Considering that the network signal is better either at my home and at my work i believe that the zip from andr68rus made the "miracle". Of course i do not know what the zip file really did after flashing it (and if the better network signal is because of it) but i can "enjoy" the results
can i flash this on oreo

My sim sometimes shows no service when I switch data from 1 sim to another sim. After restart or several times turning on/off then it shows my sim.
Don't know if it's rom related issue or not but I want to try this zip as users reported that it works like magic.
Is it OK to flash?
Thankyou for your response

When you switch data from the one sim to the other it is normal to loose the signal for a while . It happens with every phone but normally the signal "comes" back again in a few seconds. I don't know if the zip will work for your problem but why don't you ask andr68rus "directly"?
So it's normal?
Yup that exact scenario. So if it's normal then I think it's ok.
I have already flashed this zip and now my data works better then ever. I have sent him pm but he didn't reply. Now you already cleared things up for me. Thanks for your response.
Can someone tell me does both sim slots supports LTE or not?
I am wondering if it might be possible, that this data connection issue is related to the battery status of the phone?
At least, with a fully charged battery fresh from the charger (for example in the morning), I typically always have good connection. The same when loading during the day. But then, and after a while without charging I loose connection or it gets more unstable at least.
Did somebody observe something similar?

It "sounds" strange. Personally i never had similar problems nad i think that this is not a common problem
I found that on a German website, the same problem that I observed concerning the network connection and the battery was also reported. For everybody able to read German, you find it here:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/leeco-le-max-2-x820-x821-x822.2715/lte-bricht-zusammen-keine-verbindung-bei-akku-unter-60-mit-netzteil-ok.860971.html
They report that the network works very stable as long as the battery voltage is above 4 V. Once it is lower, the phone loses connection. If this is generally true, then this might be the problem in my case. With the phone coming from the charger, the voltage is about 4.3 V, but relatively quickly if falls below 4 V.
Is this purely a battery problem? Or could maybe some software modifications somehow help?

Please add me to update.
As mentioned in another thread, I have been experiencing the same problem when the battery level goes down to 70% or less (~4volt) the mobile network indicator still shows good signal but both voice and data stop working ie. cannot make or receive phone calls and no internet connectivity. But as soon as I plug in the charger, everything works perfectly.
