Do certain roms or mods effect signal ot service?

I have cm7 latest stable release.
I seem to have more bars (3G or wifi) on sense roms and better reception versus this rom.
The problem is i have yet to find a sense rom that is not glitching.
If the answer is yes, and roms do make a difference in signal strength etc, what are my options?

Not at all, only the radios effect signal.

Keyword there is "seem". Some roms use a different "scale" to show how good your signal is. One bar on one rom can be the same signal as 5 bars on another.

Are there radios I can flash that increase my signal?

[Q] pac man rom

I have not had any issues with going from WiFi to 3g but the issue that I have been having with ever custom ROM I have tried is that the network signal strength is very weak , it seems like the cards signal reach has been lowered for both WiFi and 2g/3g ,what can be done about this is a there a way to over clock The cards to get more power out of them?
Sry if i posted this in the wrong place

[Q] F240l Signal Issue

I have purchase F240l from online store but i have serious signal reception issues with this mobile.
1- In outdoor Network reception is around 5-10 dbm less than other mobiles. But the real problem comes when i am in low signal areas. This phone will disconnect all of sudden after -95dbm. while other mobiles are still locked to network.
2- The wifi reception is poor as compared to other phones.
3- The GPS never locks. in GPS test it shows 28 satellites in view as soon as GPS test is started but actually all signals remain at zero and in view satellites also remain to zero.
I want to know if this problem is related to hardware or software.
Also if you guys can suggest some solution to this problem from your experience it will be very helpful.
Note: I have reflashed stock jellybean and kitkat roms by lg flash tool but there is no change in situation.

Replace the build.prop

You should try this Method.
This might solve your problem. You should backup your original build.prop in case things goes wrong, also make a Nandroid backup.
Btw it didn't work for me actually 'cause I had other radio issues with my phone.
All the credit goes to Akhtar Ali Jatt... Thanks him if it works.

I was already on custom build.prop to get rid of the Korean rom problems.
Yesterday i also installed Sphinx 3.0 which is supposed to have better signal strength.
But all of this did not work.
I want to know if other f240l users have same problem because it is not optimized for international use.
Or this problem is specific for my phone.
For hardware issue, i improved the antenna connections with pcb but still no change.

Many users have the same problem so there's nothing you can do to get better wifi signal.
Ps: my F240L is also has very weak wifi signal.

Any news about this issue? I have F240L with weak WIFI and GSM signal.

Signal problem on custom roms.

my z2s signal keeps fluctuating continuously from -70dbm to -110 dbm in custom roms on HSPA network. in stock rom there is no such problem. is it the same for everyone and is there a solution?

Ya, its a problem in all custom roms which are besed on lineage os or aosp etc. Infact not only in our Z2 plus, but on other smartphones too. Tried on many smartphones. I was using miui 8 on my previous smartphone and it was great. Unfortunately there is no solution for signal problem. Funny thing is that no one talk about it. You are the first who is complaining about signal problem. I am observing this issue since 2014 and there is not a singal thread on this topic.

Ditto.
I have been having this problem with most if not all custom ROMs. I have tried different basebands without any success.
However, most of the time signal is still available even if the meter shows otherwise.

Yes the problem is same for all of us.Even after updating the baseband to 1.76 their is signal fluctuation which is disappointing.

Experiencing the same problem with LineageOS 15.1.
On 3G signal is jumping around, but connection isn't lost.
On 2G signal is stable, no fluctutations.
On 4G I can't tell, because my Z2 is lacking band 20, on which I mostly would have 4G with my provider here.
Baseband is 1.70

anyone found solution? yesterday i flashed custom rom for the first time n experiencing fluctuations, using Vodafone 4G IN

Try arrow 3.18 Oreo or pie or bootleggers no such issue is present .. also aex 5.8 Oreo or pie.. tried all 4 no such issues

Best signal on zuk only in zui, in custom signal quality is bad. ;-;

Hey bro this is the solution you need to flash a custom baseband zip coz the one you might be having is outdatedBTW be careful on what zip you are flashing coz it might lock your bootloader and remove all lock screens

Please share

It depends on nw coverage in your area.
Its my personal experience.
And share your experience please...

Its the custom ROM and coverage which fluctuating AF

Low Mobile Signal Coverage

Whenever im using Custom ROM, Mobile signal getting worst. 1-0 Bar most of the time. But if im using ANY custom rom base on MIUI, i will get full signal coverage. How and why this happening? Anyway i can fix?
UPDATE : After do some experiment, so now i know signal strength on Miui Rom are somewhat FAKE. Tested by changing both rom back and forth. On Miui i have full LTE signal bar, but download and upload speed are the same with Aosp based rom (havoc os) with only 1 or zero bar signal. Miui is a lie.
