Signal strength.

Is there anyway to boost signal strength on dinc2?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I was just about to ask this too ha. The time I have no signal or 1x is quite a bit more than my incredible 1, which was worse than the dare I had. And its not just a "o the bars don't correlate well with true signal strength"
Its killing the battery.
You would think with all the advancements in cell phones the antenna would be more powerful..

U would think there would be a fix for it by now....I also have the thunderbolt. Areas that I don't have signal with dInc2, I have good signal my TB.... But ur right...with so much advancements there shouldn't be any antenna issues

Try going to google.com type signalbooster.apk not to sure how good it works but it will turn it radio on and off to get you a extra bar

Hey, I'm new here but I was messing around with the phone and noticed that changing the phone from Global settings to CDMA (I'm with Verizon) drastically improved signal, 3G reception, and battery life. My phone can be alive and alright with normal use for about 1.5 to 1.75 days. Maybe this will help? Good luck.
P.S. The phone was new out of the box, then fully charged; global settings on the phone reduced battery life (at least for me) to 4-5 hours of use.

Ima test it out and see if cdma settings help I get about 8 hrs of battery now

Where is that setting...looking for it and can't find it?
GINGERTH3ORY V4.5.1

APPS -> Settings -> Call -> Preferred Network

That seems to have helped me some with my signal. I noticed my bars aren't going crazy bouncing around as much and I actually gained a bar or two.

Word! That is already good news! Hopefully battery life will be better from the lack of constant signal searching.

Thanks for the tip. Now I get at least 1 bar throughout my house and the battery life seems to be way better.

probably since its not looking for a gsm tower now as a result.

Well I'm glad to hear it's helping a lot of people. I'm hoping to do more research around here to see what else I can do with these. All I've ever known before was WebOS.

I didn't notice much different...
But i will say.. my brother has the Moto X... I have the Inc2
Side by side, his signal strength will be at 80 - 90... while mine is 90 - 100.
Not good!
With all the technology around, why can''t they make a phone with consistent radio performance!!!

Unless they were calibrated with the same tools, you can't guarantee they will measure with the same accuracy.

i have a similar question but i am rooted (CM7). in my network settings i have several settings i am currently on CMDA/EvDo auto, my other choices are:
Global
EvDo only
CDMA w/o EvDo
GSM/WCDMA auto
WCDMA only
GSM only
GSM/WCDMA preferred
which is the better setting to maximize my battery and still improve my signal strength? Thanks a bunch!

I'm Running CM7 (THANK GOD) but I still cant find where to set CDMA
I just removed the Sim card That should force it to CDMA, but I am not sure.

How to reduce battery drain while using rom?

Hi. Battery drain in sleep mode is really good. Around 0.5 % an hour. But when using 3g internet, battery drain is massive, around 3% per minute. My friend was using his iPhone with similar usage to mine, his drained from 75% to 50%, mine drained from 73% to 20%!
I have brightness on low, GPS and Bluetooth off, and I am using radio 26.13.04.19 which is one that I have found to be good and reliable. Is there anyway to reduce my drain? It's way too much right now. Thank you!

3% per minute while screen is off means your phone isn't going into sleep mode.
I guess there's an app that keeps your 3G modem active.

No, I think you misunderstand. 3% per minute while using my phone (ie: when screen is on). Like I said, when screen is off, drain is only 0.5% per hour.

Try to switch to EDGE, I had it too before. The drain was caused by a bad and cell tower signal. By switching to EDGE the signal went better, same as the battery drain. Only uses 3G if you're signal/reception is good(above 3 bars).

you can turn off Wifi GPS BT and of course the screen brightness .
iyou need to activate sleep mode beacuse when in this mode you almost dont have battery drain ....

Try different ROM or keep RADIO with corresponding RIL.

Jesus. I just spent 1 minute on facebook and had 4% battery drain! Using mobile network (getting 3 bars of 3g signal). Why does android have to do this to me. I'm jealous of iphone battery life

2-3% per minute during 3g session is pretty normal ,even I am having the same drain ,I have spent months and tried all the tricks in the book (uv script ,reduce CPU speed)to reduce the drain all my efforts have gone down the drain I think we have to live up with this sort of drain...

Did you make a full wipe before installing custom rom? I would do it then install another time. Afterward change your radio version and have a look at your battery behaviour.

IceColdSandwich gives me the best battery life Ive ever had.
Just to make sure, is your battery old? Maybe like a year old?

i agree.
i've given up trying to solve my batt issues. i've got icecoldsandwich 6.1. BT,GPS and WIFI is always on. cellular data is on WCDMA preffered. under volted, under clocked and even low vibration mod. screen brightness is at 10%. still drains at 3% per min when using the data. i've got a brand new battery from HTC service centre during this time and it doesnt help. i even started to think that my charging circuit was screwed up :|
got really paranoid..
but i guess the battery drain is pretty normal given the battery capacity

There are some build.prop tweaks that you could try. Related to sleep mode and hsdpa power collapse. Look through this page and add whichever are network and battery saving related (mentioned). Look through your current /system/build.prop and only add what isn't already there. If it's already there, just change the values.

To save my battery I have started to use Tasker, this is a profile manager. For example You can set up your phone to switch On Data and sync your apps every 30 min or more, instead of have it On all the time. There is a lot of options to set up your phone. For me it is working great and it helped me to lower daily battery drain. You can find other Profile Managers on Google Shop.

That doesn't help with the 3% per minute while awake.
And switching data on every 30 minutes often means that you can forget using apps like whatsapp and viber. Most of the time people rely on messages arriving shortly after they were sent.
Image your boyfriend/girlfriend sitting outside in the car and texting you "hurry up! we need to go!!" and you get that message 30 minutes later....
And consider using Llama....it's mostly the same as tasker but free

There is an app called battery calibration that can help with battery life. It helped me

Have compared battery drain with different radios? Some radios I have tried give better signal with higher drain. The M2 one I am using now gives a nice balance but it may differ for depending on your location/reception.

[Q] 3G Battery Drain

I have noticed that when I am on 3G, my battery drains very rapidly. Usually like 3% a minute. Is there anyway to fix this, if this is abnormal?

There's no fix to signal related drain. There are only two things that can be fixed really:
1. drain related to apps including unwanted prevention of deep sleep - wakelocks are normal
2. drain related to screen - lower brightness
3g drain is related to signal strength which there is no fix and 3g drains faster than wifi. Also, the older the battery, the less of a charge it can handle. If you're in an exceptionally poor signal area sometimes Verizon can get a signal extender. I haven't dealt with that but I've heard that sometimes happens if signal is bad.

More than likley means that the phone isnt getting a good signal, and is using more battery trying to stay connected. You can try updating to the latest radio, and prl. Has it always done this, or did it just start recently?

Though 3% a minute is really fast. I usually am closer to 1% every minute of two of screen on time depending on signal. Keep in mind battery drain is not linear meaning it may seem to drop off faster at different percentages. I don't know the details of this but this may help:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Thanks tiny and cmlusco. And no cmlusco, it has always done this. I did update my radio to yours (I don't remember which one exactly) and that helped. I'll search how to update prl. And thanks tiny. I'll look into that link.

I feel your pain. I work in an area of Tampa that has zero service and I mean ZERO. My phone tries desperately to cling to a signal and the battery drain is mind blowing. I usually have my phone in airplane mode and switch it off now and then to check for missed calls and what not. One of the roms I was using completely lost 3G and this was while I was at work. I had to change to a different rom after messing around with **778* I couldn't get it back.

It certainly sucks. But i dont really think its Verizons fault. I work on an AirForce Base. Cell phone service is scarce within the whole base. It does seem to be worse for Verizon and Sprint users from the people i had asked about it
Alot of the times my weather app will show totally different locations then where i am, I will pickup the weather forecast for Apollo Beach or Gibsonton(i dont even know where this is)

might be my imagination but i noticed this battery drain using 3G more when i switched to CM10.1(4.21) versus CM10(4.12).
but when on Wifi, my battery usage seems adequate to very good

It is your imagination. ROM has no bearing on 3g drain.

HTC one x battery life

Hi I've just recently decided to swap my xperia ray for a second hand HTC one x and unfortunately the battery life is horrid, under 4 hours and the battery is below half. 3g is on 24/7 and I didn't browse the internet for even a second , only text and call and I can't believe it, seriously considering taking this back unless somebody can convince me otherwise. All I use is the internet and calls and texts, and if it can't even handle those , then how am I going to be able to use the internet ..

are u using a custom rom ...? if not then say which base it is...3.14 oder 2.17 ...

You might try searching the forum, there are LOTs of battery related threads.
Install BetterBatteryStats (search here for it and how to use it), and check wakelocks and partial wakelocks, should tell you what is preventing the phone from entering deep sleep.

i like the battery life of my phone very much but also think, when you are using a custom rom, the rom and the kernel need to settle and i think, this take a time.. try one and give it 1-2 days, until you see the real battery draining

Came from Xperia arc myself, but wasn't expecting tremendous battery life, tbh. That said, there's virtually no drain in screen off on any stock based rom, so it evens out. Haven't tried aokp, cm10 or miui due to the pretty horrific battery life on the arc with them.

mine hox have nearly 1 year, but no better or worse battery performance. max 1 day :crying:

the battery life of the htc one x is an enigma to me (no other word can do justice to how much confusion it's causing)....I understand everyone uses their phone differently but the battery life shouldn't be all over the place as it is. My battery is lasting between 24 and 48 hours regularly with normal use i.e. normal everyday use on my one x, calls texts, camera, finding a place on maps while lost etc etc
screenshots attached.
I understand a lot of the problems are being caused by the phone not going into deep sleep. One of the ones I pinned it down to was if you go into Maps and check the location settings through there...i've turned them all off (and i still get correct google now information).
If someone wants to try that and then let us know what its like then that'd help everyone.

well not quite sure what you're doing with your phone - in that image, your mobile signal is only on for about half of the total time? did you have it in airplane mode or something?
my battery is pretty terrible - actually shocking the past few days. I can't even get through a full work day without it being down to <30%, which is only 9 hours or so. I've had power saver turned on all the time, too. I use it a bit for texts during the day and that's about it - no heavy data use. so I have no idea what's sapping it so heavily. it's quite bizarre. even if I try to micro-manage my data by turning it on only when I need it, I still get down to 40%.
this is on a stock ROM by the way. considering changing to a lighter weight custom ROM to see if that helps, as this is just ridiculous!

How much was your screen on time tho? I could just leave my phone doing nothing and have over 1day battery.
@op you could try the battery calibration. Charge phone till green light, once fully charged unplug and switch off the phone and charge again till green light now switch on and use phone.
You should now have better battery.

[Q] horrible battery life since KitKat update Sprint g2.

Any other g2 users having major battery issues? Sprint g2, some apps and bloatware frozen/removed. Rooted as well. Battery dropped 38 percent in 4 hours with little to no use. Location services are off. Shows that android operating system using around 40 percent. Any idea of what is causing this? So far, not loving the update and the issues its having.

Absolutely not... Quite the opposite. I'm on a custom ROM but I used ZV7 ZV8 & ZVA before with no issues. That's one great thing about the G2 is the Snap Dragon processors are great on the battery, a charge lasts a long time and the battery never gets hot even with constant tethering and heavy usage. You should try the Snap Dragon battery guru app in the play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app which is great for saving juice. Or takes a couple days to get full effect cause it learns your patterns and stops apps from refreshing during times when you don't use them, cuts of WiFi and or data during times when you aren't using it. Also I'd check your battery usage stats and see what processes are draining it the most. Is most likely an app or 2 draining a lot of your battery, so the battery guru will stop that from happening during times that you don't use those apps.

Its very common after a firmware update for a battery to go outta whack. It may be that you need to recalibrate it. After any firmware update its adviseable to so a factory reset at 100% battery level. Then use your phone normally till the battery dies and phone shuts down. Plug in the phone and let it charge to 100% while off. Turn it on, and use it till the batt dies again. Repeat charging to 100% with phone off.
That may solve your issue. Fully cycle the battery 2x.

Battery life is greatly affected by weak signals. It drives up the power to get you signal

I'm having the same issue. It's wakelock WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed. I've tried everything I can think of, but it's completely keeping my phone from deep sleep.

I did one full cycle charge. Took it off the charger at around 10am yesterday. Almost 21 hours later, sitting at 35%. Doing a little better than before. Bluetooth keeps showing on my list of wake locks but it's disabled.

I got the ZVC OTA, then I flashed the zvc .tot after accidently deleting supporting services for voice mail (Skyfire Observer and Sprint Extension provider) after flashing Im at 7hrs 30mins Screen Time surfing web with 15% battery left on first day, before that I got little over 6hrs with 0% battery and all the same apps. Do a factory reset after OTA that might help or flash the ZVC.tot for a complete fresh install like I did.
Just an FYI Swype connect is a known battery killer for some its mentioned on their forums and it sometimes runs even when all connect features are blocked.
Another thing block location services when not needed it will save a nice amount of battery life.

I noticed that this morning. I went into wifi settings and clicked advanced and unchecked "scanning always available". Im using "liquid Smooth 4.4 so I don't know if yours have it.

I think its a problem with 4.4.2, google is fixing that in 4.4.3. Also make sure Sprint Connections Optimizer is really off.

The only issue I've seen is Bluetooth showing up under battery stats as being used at around 50-55% yesterday with a runtime of over a day. I'm thinking its just a reporting bug since I haven't used Bluetooth at all and I don't see a noticeable drop in battery but if it is using it I'd definitely like to curb it.
anyone with a similar issue or possible idea on fixing it? Running stock zvc unrooted

That's weird, never had that happen to me. Did you Factory reset after OTA? Sometimes that helps.

No I haven't. I guess I'll give that a shot. But sucks to have to redownload my apps n such for that.

Do you have location settings and google now enabled?

I don't get the people who say they get 7 hours sot out of this phone. I have two of these and even with complete stock no after market apps the best I do is 3-4

I get 7.5 hrs and 15% battery left at 50% Brightness, location and autosync drain battery a lot as I mentioned before. Also use task manager to autoblock Sprint apps and uncheck Sprint Connections Optimizer it eats battery, Lastly Swype connect runs even when online features are disabled and eats battery, there are many complaints about that on Swype forum as well.
Im mostly on WiFI and have full signal due to Airave (no LTE) so I guess that helps too. All those things add up, I'm sure you can achieve that screen time as well.

By factory reset, do you guys mean in settings? I need to reset, but I don't have a computer at the moment so I can't reflash tot.
