[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
So I've been dealing with a radio issue on my S3 for a while now. At home, all is good, at work it sucks. However, the degree of suckage has varied lately and from what I can tell it seems to do with the ROM. Emphasis on seems because I really don't know. Thus this thread.

I used to run one of Freeza's stock leaks. I had a weak signal at the office, but it was livable. Lately however I'm been trying various AOSP 4.2.2 and they seem to be getting a much weaker signal. Of course it could be that stock just has me faked out and the signals are about the same, just the status bar icon throwing me off.

I've also noticed that location apps that use network location (not GPS) seem to be finding locations in my general vicinity, but most are 40-50 miles away from me. Maps is fine though. Probably irrelevant, but thought worth mentioning.

Yesterday I updated to MB1 to see if that made a difference. Nope. So today I decided maybe I needed a PRL update. So, to keep it simple (in my view) I did a nandroid then flashed Freeza's Full Odex MB1 so I could get the PRL via Sprint. What's interesting is that before I even did the PRL update, the signal was dramatically better. I went ahead and did the PRL update, then restored my nandroid to the ROM I preferred.

When back in the ROM the signal was weak again. So I ask, is it possible this is an issue with the CM 10.1 builds? Could it just be the ROM (carbonrom). Could it be a 4.2.2 issue?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
AOSP shows the truer signal, stock roms add a little to what the actual signal is and the indicator in the status bar is always greater than your actual reception, if you look around this has been asked and answered many many times...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] respectagain:
It looks more like AOSP shows your signal bars + signal strength as whatever you are currently connected to (LTE rather than showing voice service), whereas Touchwiz will show your signal strength and bars based upon your voice reception.

I don't know where you people are getting this information that Touchwiz based roms are intentionally lying about the signal. The only confirmed thing for anything like that is the 1x vs 3G deal. Can you provide a source for your claim?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
Ok, so any difference I think I'm seeing or experiencing is likely just my weak mind being hallucinated upon by those wicked status bar icons? :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Decompile the apk and you'll find the code that adds to the shown signal. Speed tests also show equivalent speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Both Touchwiz and AOSP report signal correctly. The issue is that Touchwiz will show you 6 bars for a -80dBm threshold, whereas that's an average signal (yes, it's usable, but CDMA can range from -65 to -120 dBm, so -80 is good, but not perfect.) AOSP tends to be more accurate in signal strength reporting. This doesn't mean signal is work on AOSP, it just displays less signal because that's your actual signal strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
One of the other differences in aosp and twiz signal is the actual number of displayable bars. Some twiz roms show 6 bars and all aosp roms only show 4. So theres 2 extra bars on twiz so 3bars is half signal on twiz and 2 is half on aosp, 4 bars on twiz is 3/4 signal and 3 bars is the aosp equivalent. That will trick the eye into seeing a difference in signal strength as well. The best way to check is settings > about phone > status then look at the dbm and compare them instead of comparing bars. Twiz doesn't add as much extra to the bars as sense but it does add a hair bit and also doesn't show the difference between 1x and 3g, it always shows 3g. Now sense roms (at least back in the og evo days) would lie right to your face and show you 3 bars of 3g when you have -100dbm of 1x >_<

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Those sense roms. Yeah half the time i would have super slow data speeds and be like "why, it says full 3G bars?!?"...then I flashed my first rom and learned what 1x was

Such a disappointment in HTC from that point on :(
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquelt:
Hey Guys,

I am here to relate an problem that I am having where I live.

The thing is. I have now 4G LTE service and I got a new 5GB 4G data plan...

On the carriers system they say I am ready to go to acces the blazing fast speed they show on commercials.

But the Max I am having is 3G service...

I know I have 4G service because when I search for networks it shows CLARO BR 4G, CLARO BR 3G and CLARO BR 2G.

Can it be related to the ROM I am using?

I am using the Retail BR 4.1.2 with the modem and fsg files from my carriers 4.0.3 ROM.

Can this be related to an old SIM card?

I dont think so, because I changed to this carrier less than one year ago and they say on their website that the 3GReady SIM is also already Ready for 4G.

What else can I do??
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3ptun3:
Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Select network and make sure Auto 4G/3G/2G is enabled. I believe Auto 3G/2G is the default one, I know because I do use 4.1.2 Retail BR.

If that doesn't help, you should go to Claro and ask them to either help you enable it or change the SIM card with a 4g enabled one.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquelt:
The problem was the SIM card.

Got a new one and now I have acces to the 4G network.

Now the problem is that I can't connect on 4G.

I have put all APNs existent on my carrier and it didn't work...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilian28:
Look, just in case... have you tried to flash a retail ROM in your phone?

I bought my phone from VIVO and I tried 4G and it wouldn´t work (ICS 4.0.4). Later, I flashed ICS 4.0.4 RETAIL and tried diferent carrier chips and the 4G was running fine on CLARO.

Also, if you can try this on your phone, downgrade from JB to ICS and try your 4G network (and remember that 4G technology is extremely new here in Brazil and reminds when 3G came - the services were bad because of poor infrastructure).

Let´s wait and see.

Abraço! kkk

Hey Mano! hahah

I am running Retail 4.1.2 with Claro Modem and FSG. What FSG and modem did you flash to get 4G to work?

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquelt:
I'll try to explain to you.

To get the modem you need to download the full vivo 4.0.4 Rom and extract the modem_signed and fsg_signed.

Then all you have to do is flash both on your phone and erase the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions.

That's everything I can explain walking and typing on the street.

4g is active in Rio? I thought it was only being tested in some areas like buzios or angra..

What's the max speed you've gotten?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquelt:
I've attached what is happening with me...

I live in a area that has lte signal but the network just don't work. It connects but it doesn't change informations with the network.

Here in Rio the network is still in test on Claro... but I can tell Oi has the best signal by far in Rio.

I don't know how or when Claro will finish implementing this technology here, all I know is that they are moving fast. They have until April 31st, so let's see...

Man, I flashed Stock 4.0.4 Retail, fully. I didn´t mix modem or FSG files. It´s totally stock. Our phones are supposed to detect the Lte automatically and without any configuration, since the SIMcard download all the config needed when the phone starts. (At least that happens to mine.)

[General Questions and Answers] dmolition:
Hello, I got tricked into buying a phone that cannot be activated in Sprint. I was in a rush to get a phone for a surprise and just convinced a guy to meet me at work one day so I didn't check with sprint. He said the phone had a clean ESN and that he paid to cancel his plan. My girlfriend went to Sprint to trade to change phones (her screen broke) but they told her the phone was still activated.

So my question is, can I trade ESNs numbers (her LG Elite's into the galaxy S2), or can I simply add another ESNs number and go back to Sprint?

I do understand cloning ESNs is illegal but she owns both phones, and if it is possible what program could I use?

Thank you so much for your time and input.

Hello

Last week I've bought an used O² XDA without accessories for € 100,- :lol:

It's the 32MB Version with an english rom (version 3.02.00eng, radio 4.01)

Now I want to upgrade it and change the language from english to german. Now my questions:

- can I use the actual rom-version from the 64MB XDA or only from 32MB version ?

- can someone send me a link for the actual german rom ?

- or can I use the actual rom from the t-online mda ?

Is there something special I have to pay attention for ?

(the unlocking works fine with the developers tool)

thank you for your answers !!

Hi all! Just done unlocking bootloader, flash Amon Ra recovery and root. Now I want to flash custom rom but i am lost about flashing the boot.img in hboot, i really don't know how to flash it. I am at S-ON.. Any help would be appreciated. Tnx in advace!
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
you know what I don't know how to do it too. but there are some roms that will do it for you even if you are s-on
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
There's two possible ways you might have to do it.

1. If the ROM makes a PH98IMG file and puts it on your sd card then it will take you to hboot after it's done flashing and all you have to do is say "yes" to accept the "update". It will flash the kernel and then you can boot up the phone. After it's booted up make sure you delete that PH98IMG file so you can boot up again.

I think that if it's going to do this it will give you the option to select s-off or s-on when flashing the ROM.

2. If it doesn't do the above you will have to pull the kernel from the ROM. Just look in the ROM zip file in explorer on your pc and then copy the boot.img out of it into my fastboot folder. Then I just flash it from there using:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Some ROMs, like EclipticRez, give you the option of a few kernels. You can just pull the one you want and when you flash it change "boot.img" to whatever the name of that kernel is.

ROM cleaner does not get rid of sense at all. Sense is not only launcher or lockscreen, it's the whole framework. To remove it you need to flash AOSP ROM.

Also, OP wanted Android 4.2. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] provettirodolfo:
Well, i've tested many roms till I get satisfied with Carbon Rom (really great), but something that really annoys me is the Keyboard speed.

I've noticed that when I'm in a ICS ROM (any, stock or CM based) I get a really good speed (I mean the speed that I tip on the screen and the word shows up), and when I'm on JB this it's kinda slow.

When using Swiftkey things got worse, because it is mainly a keyboard for rapid typing (very good prediction) but when I type too fast it "misses" some letters then screw up all the setences I'm writing.

This happen not only on Swiftkey, but on stock google keyboard.

Anyone knows how to solve?

Battery life is rather bad on the s3 but there is lots of development support for the international s3. That's kinda cancels out the battery loss if you have the right configuration. Don't get me wrong, there is better phones but the software is something to look out for also. A lot of the battery drain was because of touch wiz. But running an aosp ROM and its eliminated the battery drain. It is very fragile though. I go nowhere without my case. The s4 comes out soon anyway and it isn't as fragile.
