[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dastan4eva:
No offence but am pretty sure the citrus Devs hasn't done anything to 'fix' the signal strength issue, if it's actually fine on citrus the it happened on its own. Maybe there's something conflicting in code of cm based roms which isn't present in pure CAF base

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

This is the crux of the issue people are mistaking it to be signal strength

Latest unofficial RR

I think dbm is calling signal while ASU is what keeps data speeds going.

I have seen where there is low internet ASU drops too. While dbm is still higher
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Camlin3:
There is nothing like that go to a remote area ,and u will find -100+ dbm for normal sim,and 0asu ,where u cant place call.signal is signal,highest asu and -lowest dbm= best signal

And there is no internet or call signal

Got it ?

Network is very stable in Citrus CAF, but strugling for VoLTE as it was working in RR but not in this ROM. Trying VoLTE v2 Patch now.

EDIT:

Installed v2 patch and voila :D i have VoLTE with full stable network. :D I did not get HD icon but calls are working very good so no problem.

Steps i followed:

I trees replacing some citrus files in RR and for boot loop ?

I'm on official Slim7 build. Signal strength is not as good as MIUI. There is sudden signal strength fluctuation as well, at times. I flashed the rom from MIUI 8 global dev. I also tried latest Citrus rom experimental build as I heard it has good signal reception, but it's still the same. I have not flashed any firmware as of now. What should I do to improve the signal reception in these ROMs? I'm new to flashing ROMs in this device, so I don't have a clear idea of which firmware to flash, and whether it is needed or not.

Any good signal​ rom for volte jio ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lee480:
Hi. I'm from Singapore and my 4G signal always drop when using custom ROMs. Only MIUI ROMs have no issue. The nougat ROMs probably missed something that's in the MIUI ROM..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] feed3:
Use caf-based for nougat.

Some said the signal strength in caf-based is just the same with LOS-based, it is just the graphic presentation of the signal bar that better in caf-based.

BUT for me, ALL aosp-caf gave better & more stable signal strength compared to aosp-based and LOS-based. (LOS is not pure caf-based)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturist:
Sorry for the noob question, have you checked the signal strength in -dBm/asu or simply from the signal bar it looks good?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] feed3:
As i said, better & more stable signal strength...

At home, the tower is just a few meters away. In CAF-based, i can get a steady & stable 75-77dBm, but in LOS/AOSP based ROM, it will fluctuating badly between 76-100dBm (at the same spot in my house some more)... Not to mention the signal bar keep going up & down while it should full is really annoying.

Nothing changed. The signal still fluctuate as it was in LOS.

Checked the signal strength, same nos in both the roms.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] feed3:
Not for me. Mine is really terrible in LOS.

I can see you are on Jio, so you are in India.

The differences between you and me could be;

1. Depending on carriers (obviously yours is not the same with mine)

2. Related to 1, the bands. My carrier mainly using band 7.

3. Firmware being used.

Now the whole thing started to make sense to me.

In some ROM, people said they got really good signal (or at least NOT fluctuating) but i got fluctuated / terrible signal even when i could see the tower from where I'm standing at my backyard.

My brother in law is using redmi note 3 too, but he is using miui right now. Comparing our phone side by side, sometimes, my signal strength even better than him (not the same firmware being used). So.....

Mine with 75-77dBm with full bar (as i said, the tower is really close) but yours 107dBm with not even half the signal bar, you can't really comparing that way.

No matter how good the ROM is, it won't give you better signal strength when you are not in a good signal coverage.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajvg:
Firmware for Jio

Thanks for your brief explanation... Feed3

So we have to find Firmware which works good with Jio(India) network band 1...

Hopefully someone gets right firmware..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lee480:
Hi guys. As previously mentioned, this issue does not occur in recent MIUI ROMs. Old MIUI version had this issue. Probably Xiaomi implemented a fix in their kernel or system and that our current dev did not put in their ROMs. I'll stick with Miui for now as the signal fluctuation drains a lot of battery!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturist:
Yup, I knew it from the start but still wanted to try out as many users here said that caf based roms works well for network. No point to even discuss further on this as this doesn't work with Jio as many users would've wanted to check. Don't want to even go into details of band and stuff.

Thanks for your inputs though which helped me to test it, I've even flashed other CAF rom today with same result. Doesn't help or myth that caf gives better signal, no one knows. Back to LOS rom.

PS: I'm also using Redmi Note 4 running RR rom and the signals doesn't fluctuate in that rom. May be it's only with RN3. I even get 300% better speed with RN4 than compared to RN3 at the same place. Tried every firmware available here. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Signal fluctuation doesn't drain that much here, I used to get 6-8hours SOT with MIUI with stable network. Now, I'm getting 10-12hours SOT running Lineage with signal fluctuations. :p
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] feed3:
For me, it isn't myth.

I tried LOS 5 April build and also CAF 5 April build.

The interesting part is, in CAF 5 April build, it started to fluctuating a bit too compared to previous build(though not as bad as in LOS and the strength is really better for me).

It started to fluctuate a bit in Citrus CAF 4 April build too.

My carrier is using band 3 and 7 (FDD) (mainly band 7 for LTE as far as i know)

View attachment 4105121

While Jio is 3,5 and 40 (TDD).

So, I'm pretty sure those issue is depending on

1. Firmware

2. Carrier (LTE band)

3. Framework (or/and kernel?)

*Because in CAF 5 April and Citrus CAF 4 april build, it is fluctuate a bit too while it is perfect in previous build*
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturist:
I can still flash the built you're using and will try that. I'll also flash all the available firmwares to test. Can you share the built link which gave u stable network? I think I flashed the latest caf built which was April 5 I guess.

I don't think band would matter cause on the other phones with the same network provider I'm getting stable connection. The tower is very near to my place. With RN4, I'm getting full signal plus 20mbps+ download speed where as with RN3 the signals nos I already shared and the speed is below 3-4mbps.

I even tested it with my iPhone 6S Plus and speeds were just awesome. I can't see the signal in nos on iPhone, it's just the -74 to -78 without asu nos but the download speed was above 40mbps at the same location.

I havn't used any custom kernels on any of the roms I tested. So, these two points are null. I think it's just the combination of rom+firmware to test and see which fits well. It'll take a lot of time of mine to test every available firmware with caf rom but I'll do that just to get a fix of this issue.

Btw: edit your screenshots as it shows your phone number and imei.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] feed3:
I will just remove the screenshot and add it later if needed as I'm on mobile now, hard to edit the attachment in xda labs app.

I'm on 5 April build which i think you already tried. The previous build i used is 24 march build and the firmware is 7.3.2
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lee480:
no mattter what ROM u flash, the issue will reoccur. We need to find out how Xiaomi fixed it in MIUI and port the fix to the custom ROMs.

:good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturist:
May be MIUI fake signals and doesn't show the clear picture? I could be wrong. Here are two RN3's, one on MIUI and another one on LOS, same place. Check the signals. Both the RN3's are my own phones.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLius:
You are welcome. Took me 2 weeks to figure out how to get my mobile signal back to normal. Everyone keeps saying you need to flash the latest firmware, but that doesn't help. Baseband on this miui rom is the same as (old) psy_man firmware, but just flashing that firmware does nothing. I guess the miui rom fixes something, somewhere. I am going to stay away from firmware now. Flashing firmware again will get you back in trouble (been there, done that).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Damn what an improvement.

Flashing the latest firmware on mine(Kate) improves signal. Still bad though. I'll try flashing that(the one for SE). You have a locked bootloader right? Followed khajit's tutorial? So do I just flash this via twrp(zcx) without doing anything?

Edit: Just flashed it in twrp(with locked bootloader) without doing anything aside from wipe(obviously). At 1st I thought I got a bootloop because it took too long to boot(about twice the time on custom ROMs). Testing time...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cristiandiaconu6:
After doing these steps, are you getting stable signal in los like in miui? Or getting most stable signal among all nougat custom roms? i am asking you because i didn`t see anyone say that in custom rom, signal is stable like in miui.. Thank you!

Well, I never really paid much attention to my signal in miui. But I can say I have 4g now most of the time, where on miui I had h+ at most. My signal is great now, don't think it was better on miui.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
The signal did improve but I still lose signal on "dead spots" inside the house. My old phone(with plastic back cover) would still get signal, albeit weak, on those spots.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLius:
Did you try the unofficial LOS from Umang96? He did some tweaking to improve the signal. Of course kenzo don't support all 4g bands, maybe your old phone does. My wife's Motorola has much better 4g support. Depends on provider and where you live.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
The unofficial LOS doesn't have that much customization to my liking. Will have to install other apps to get the same. Unfortunately I'm lazy :p.

Actually I'm talking about 2g. 4g doesn't really penetrate the house, 3g rarely plus I have WiFi for internet. I just need it to avoid missing calls.

Flashing the xiaomi.eu did improve it. I rarely get "yellow" signal outside. That huge red bar though that's beside the bed near the wall.

I installed xiaomi.eu firmware, then my miui ita (Italia) firmware, then again global one and tried a lot of custom rom. No real differences form rom to rom or firmware to firmware. Umang LOS has probably the better signal, but there isn't a big difference (in the same room and place I saw -87 on Umang LOS vs -92 on every other nougat rom). I really think that this is the better signal I can reach
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLius:
Firmware won't improve your signal. -87 on LTE is very good when inside, I never get better than -100 on LTE inside.

After i`ve tried some nougat roms (lineage, nitrogen, aicp, aosp extended, umang lineage) i figured out that signal fluctuations is present in every nougat custom rom, BUT... i`ve tried AOSIP (based on CAF) and onestly this is the best nougat rom among all and it have incredible signal stability (like in miui, NO FLUCTUATIONS). Rom is very smooth, have OMS full support, lot of customizations and with franco kernel seems to be a good combination :)..
