Sometimes my phone, even when there definitely is signal, would say searching for signal. It would take a couple reboots before I get my signal back. Even tried manual registration, it would get stuck registering on the tmobile network. Im running darkside v8, could anyone help with this annoying issue?
Flash another radio?

For Darkside ICS roms, you need to use their modded radios, if you don't flash theirs, you will get data and signal issues. Check their thread for downloads.
I tried this , still didn't help. I switched to cm9 and installed the recommended uvle1 radio , and I still had the same problem. Either I had to manually register on T-Mobile or keep rebooting until signal came back (I'm in a full signal area)

I'm pretty certain this is an ics issue for some people. I had same thing last night, flashed gb, instant signal. If yours is consistent then I suggest running logcat to see what android is doing .

My wifes is doing the same thing. It hasn't ever been rooted. Sometimes all she can get is E or G and then it drops. We have 3G area but it doesn't pick it up. Maybe I need to root it and flash a new radio. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks

Hmmm strange , actually, mines worked fine before I upgraded to an ics rom , either cm9 or darkside evo . No signal drops whatsoever , not sure what's going on now , sim card seems to be fine , no drops In a froyo sidekick 4g

A strange update on this thread, my problems with signal loss are now gone now that I'm on cm10
Edit: when it boots I have to make sure its 2g/3g setting otherwise it boots with no signal

Disregard what I said in my previous post, I'm really hoping for a real solution/possible flaw with my gs2. I had to move my sim in my sidekick 4g, because my gs2 didn't seem to pick up any signal, and registering on the network would take forever . This is the biggest problem I have with my gs2. I can't always be moving my sim to the sk4g everytim my gs2 doesn't want to pick up signal, its very inconvenient. If it helps at all, I've had this issue every since I've gone beyond gb (this only seems to happen in ics and jb)

Hi guys.
I don't know if its my phone or if this is the way the phone is meant to be, I have an extremely weak wifi signal. I am literally right next door to my router and I only get 3/4 bars for signal strength. As soon as I go up to the second floor, I get nothing at all unless I'm directly above my router. This is extremely frustrating at the moment. I decided to lurk around the forum to see if installing a custom rom would help and I ended up installing Jedi Invasion 2; it did not help at all.
It's just so frustrating that I have to use my mobile internet when I'm in bed instead of using my home internet. I don't understand this at all. Why is it so weak? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thank you.
Im with you on this......im staying tuned..

Have you tried updating your modem to the latest version that was just released?
My modem is perfectly fine. I just dont understand how my old crappy blackberry had a better and stronger connection than my s3.

I found the Wi-Fi performance increased a fair bit when I upgraded to 4.1.1. I can go a fair ways in my house before dropping bars. Wish I had run WiFi Analyzer before the upgrade so that I could actually compare RSSI.
Depends on the router freq. 2.4ghz and 5ghz. 5ghz can cause crappy WiFi strength issues. Change the settings around to 2.4 only and see what happens.

My router does not support dual band. Like I said earlier, my blackberry has a stable connection while my s3 struggles.

I had the same problem in 4.0.4 ICS but now on 4.1 JB it is working perfect. Before on ICS I had like 3-4 bars when I was 2ft away from the router. Now on JB I have full 5 stable bars no less with higher distance.

The modem he is talking about is a radio for the phone. Not the modem that connects you to the internet through your ISP.
Oh. Im still relatively new to this device so I never knew. How do I update the modem?

Well first thing your going to have to do is root the phone before you can update your modem.

Att is rolling out jelly bean now through kies. Id just do that before you hit the modding route. Jelly Bean will update you too there latest and greatest modem and boot loader updates. Then root it and never look back

So I went ahead and installed the latest modem. It made my signal even worst somehow. How do I restore back to the one I had?

There's only three modems for each carrier. Try them all.

Hey guys Im kinda a newbie when it comes to modem related topics.. heres my question.. will changing modem affect my signal if its on another carrier network? I was on tmo but now im using my sg3 with "claro", but im getting 1 to 0 signal bars with the latest modem... im not sure if its moden related the cause or if its a network problem with "claro" :/

Really only one way to find out....flash a different modem and test it out. Just make a note of what modem you are on now and you can always flash back if signal is worse.

Just picked up a used nexus and its Korean and I'm getting some radio drops but idk if its because I'm in a low signal area.. And I remember back in the day the Korean models has radio drops but good screens and the Chinese has good radios but purple tint screens.
Anyway I also read they made an update to eliminate this from happening anymore. Regardless of where it was made. Is this ROM related?
I am on 4.3 with the 4.2.2 radio..
Input?

i ever experiencing this issue at stock 4.3, then i tried to flashed any 4.2.2 rom and data drops is gone. it's really weird, i think it 4.3 related issue
Thank you for the reply.

I experience the same issues on 4.3 (I've tried multiple roms). If I go back to 4.2.2 all is well again. It has something to do with the 3g to 4g hand-offs and viceversa.
Is anyone else having data issues with their service? I keep getting random data drops. And I'm in the latest 4.4.2 version. Stock, not rooted. Heard it was common with this version. It's very frustrating. I lose lte then my signal then it comes back. Then when it shows I have signal and lte, it won't even download data. No activity light. Any help would be great. I don't want any custom roms right now. Not even root. Thanks.

Without root or a modified rom your limited to restarting your phone when you get the drop. Or returning phone for a different one.
