Horrible Signal

After I rooted the phone I have been getting really bad signal everywhere I go. The Speedtest.net app says my download is about 500kbps down and 79kbps, I have tried multiple servers. This is significantly slower than I was previously getting and is very apparent in use. In settings I have seen signal strength between -120dBm and -80dBm. I have the latest radio, pri, prl, and have tried multiple roms with the same result. I am presently running the evervolv alpha 15. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should go to a stable rom instead of a alpha rom

Battery Life on CM7 RC2

Is it normal to have poor battery life on RC2? If not, can someone help me diagnose the issue?

Are you experiencing fluctuating 3g/1x data signals? I am in the Seattle area and am thus getting worse battery life.

Both of you should try looking in spare parts for runaway apps/partial wake lock. Also keep your radios off when not in use. You can also try a new kernel, or upgrade to one of the latest nightlies.

What's the RC versions for?

He's on CM7,,,RC is for Release Candidate, as in this is what the final version COULD look like, with some minor tweaks...but there will be an RC3 cuz they now have hdmi working.

Best kernel for WiFi reception?

I'm I'm currently running destroyer v2 based on cm7 and wifi reception is terrible. Always dropping out on me. Been tempted to try the latest titanium kernel to see if that would help. But before I do that I thought I would get other peoples opinions on what to do..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Try out the new Tiamat Kernel. I've noticed a slight improvement in WIFI range, and a stellar improvement in battery life.

+1
Tiamat 4.0.2 sbc+ all day
midget tossing is habit...2010 midwest regional champion... hw 001

What's the latest version of Tiamat? Can someone possibly send me the link for the latest tiamat?

Also is it possible to just switch out just the kernel without losing the rom I have installed right now? Only way I know how is by starting all over and installing everything at once. Please help, thanks

I can say that godmode is not as good as tiamat its noticeably better

stroll over to the the development section and check them all out for yourself and yes you can switch out kernels. Also there is an app called kernel manager to check out kernels. One more thing its obvious you are not a chronic flasher like a lot of us so please remember nandroid and read up- As the saying goes here "Google is your Friend". Especially all the OP's of kernels and roms... hate to see you brick your device... Happy flashing

What rom are you using?

Help? More than one Q

First, I would really like to know why my cricket flashed dinc2 will only work well on sense 2.1 roms? With sense 2.1 roms I can get really good coverage with my prl. When I flash sense 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 or 4.0 roms they all only give 1 bar at best. Miui or cm7 roms wont give any signal at all. The service name is Verizon wireless and signal bars never pop up? Anyone know why this is?
Also I was wondering why the skyraider ROM links are all bad? I've really been wanting to try the Rom and I cannot find any GOOD links. Can anyone help with this?

It'd be wonderful if my other answer could be answered. I actually went back to cm7 the other day and low and behold data worked for me, but was really weak. Is the radio in sense 2.1 roms different from EVERY other Rom or something? I'd really like to get off this sense 2.1 Rom...the battery is awful and tbh, its old news lol. Id really like to mess around with other roms but since I use my phone as a hotspot for my ps3 I need data

I've also tried AOKP, CM and JB Roms - liked many of them but GPS was horrible. I even tried the temp el29 to lock GPS then go back but eventually my GPS performance degraded. I finally decided to go back to Touchwiz Rom but I guess all the flashing permanently degraded my GPS. I was about to get a new phone when I tried one last ditch effort. Make a long story short it worked. Here's what I did.
1. Go back to El29 stock Rom
2. Either OTA update to FF18 or manual update FF18 and FH13
GPS works great!
I also used one click Odin to install CWM - one click ff18 Odin: option during then option en for ff18 kernel with agat recovery 4
Finally I updated my modem to FI03 for better 3/4G.

Did u tried any other rom after that?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Yes, several times with same poor GPS. I also tried different kernels that I liked for battery savings such as Kobridge and Agat but GPS was not as good. So I One click Odin back to FF18 stock with Agat recovery. I think my phones GPS likes stock Rom and recovery. I should mention that my wife's phone had the same issue and I did the same process to fix her GPS. But her phone's GPS works great with Agats battery tweek kernel. She has great GPS and great battery life. Go figure...

I too have been having bad GPS issues.
First I was on CM10 alpha 5.1 and I couldn't even maintain GPS signal in the I95 from NYC to Hartford, CT!
I then switched to Codename Android (latest one and what I'm on now) which was a lot better and held signal during a 2nd trip up to Hartford. But yesterday I lost signal going up to Bear Mountain (where I've never lost GPS before with previous phones and so had to switch to my wife's iphone for directions).
So I'm thinking I'll have to make the switch too.
But I wanted to ask cd7 if you've ever tried other TW roms like Calkulin 3.0 or re-Calked 0.2.1 for GPS strength? or am I stuck with stock roms forever in order to have consistent GPS?
thanks!

You have to use a temp gingerbread Rom to get a lock.

Thank you for the suggestion.
However, I did do the GPS lock from Calkulin's 3.0 (GB) then flash to the various roms.
I learned that the hard way after not being able to get a signal at all after flashing cm10 the first time.
My problem is that the signal keeps dropping when I travel longer distances (signal is fine when I'm driving around NYC). CM10 alpha 5 was was pretty spotty and would take longer to get a GPS signal. CNA (codename) was a lot better, quick lock and stay locked from NYC to hartford, but still would lose signal in some more rural areas (whereas other phones ie. my wife's iphone or my older LG android phone never had issues).
That's why, like cd7, I'm thinking of having to just go back to a TW rom, but hoping that I don't have to stick with stock forever and can at least use some of Calkulin's stuff.
