Need Help With Signal problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi Everyone,
I'm making the call out for help cause i just can't figure out how to fix my issue, and if i search i just get lost on posts. So here i go, i will explain the situation. I had a working 1+1 until about a month ago which i realize did not work properly in my house either. (Real problem is the screen is broke thats been taken care of with oneplus rma) So while waiting for my 1+ to be picked up i decided to get out my old galaxy note 2. My cell is on Rogers provided by my work (Which im totally thankful for) but they provided me with a Galaxy S3 mini while waiting for my 1+ to be fixed. The s3 mini sucks ass it barely plays ingress and the screen is super small BUT the NETWORK H+ works perfectly fine in the house!
So i decided to crack out the Note 2 and use it, it had been sitting in the drawer for a while, i had a N5 which i gave to my wife when i got the 1+! I prodeeded to oem unlock and root the note 2. All worked flawlessly with odin as it always does with all the phone i root! Installe TWRP 2.8 latest and greatest! went and got some roms KK, i gave 5.1 a try but it was just didnt work properly! (I am TOTALY happy with KK 4.4.4! ) The screen is big and ingress works great! When im outside my house on the buss or road i am able to get HSPA or LTE connections no problem! But in my house .... NO GO im on edge! =( even sometimes no connection in my room, so i get a bunch of sms like the next morning when i come to the living room and the E connects!
I realize now i had the same issue with the 1+ .... My Nexus5 from Rogers works GREAT (no rooted stock everything, my kids s4 mini from fido also stock not rooted connected to lte fine also) The s3 mini stock also works fine but why not my rooted phones?
i have all the rogers APN's configured, none work in the house! =( i have tried 5-6 diff roms, they all dont work!
any direction or help is welcome!
thank you
mike

Sounds as if service within your home is questionable.
.
Perhaps you should look into a signal booster for the inside of your home..
I have the same issue in my home and with a booster installed my signal problems are gone...g

Just got Galaxy Nexus today and have 4G issues...

Hi all.
I just picked up my (second) Galaxy Nexus today and have been having some severe 4G issues with the Verizon Wireless LTE version. When I brought the phone home, my first action was to put Jelly Bean on the device. I used Muzzy's 4.1.1 JB ROM and everything loaded in fine. When I booted into the ROM and began setting everything up, I noticed that my 4G connection was fading in and out and wouldn't hold for more than two minutes at a time. After wiping everything and re-flashing the ROM, it was still giving me trouble.
I just re-locked my bootloader and axed my root access and reloaded the stock 4.0.4 build that I left the store with, and I'm still having 4G issues. Mike's ROM doesn't change any radio settings, so I'm confused as to why this is happening. Did I get a lemon from the store and should I try to get a replacement?
I picked up a new (free) g-nex from best buy to replace a phone on a secondary line. I'd been selling the wife on the amazingness of the g-nex (i love mine), but of course, it doesnt work right for her, and it has the pulsing 4g/no-g signal problem (if yours is like ours, check battery stats and you can see the 4g/signal drop on/off...like candy stripes with all the red).
I've read extensively, and some insist this is a bad firmware flash that Vzw knows about and a fix is in the works, others say hardware and there is no fix other than a new device. I'm taking it in since I'm still in the 14 day window (rather than risk it) - suggest you do the same?

Going to sprint repair center do i need to go stock/unrooted

I got an appt with sprint tech support or repair center whatever its called . I got to walk into one those stores in my area today in about 4 hours . Ive called sprint to many times about getting to many phantom voicemails, calls not going through, my phone not ringing when someone else calls me etc.. so they said to take it in . Im currently running Calks 3.0 GB rom EL29 and when you turn on the phone i have the yellow triangle show up..
Do i need to revert back to completely stock ?
or can i just take in like that and will they service it that way?
TIA to anyone that responds back with help....
MODS i know this has been asked before but i searched and didnt find the answer ..
Yes flash any stock rom before going.

do i have to unroot as well?
also whats the best way to back up sms, mms ive tried TB but didnt work for some reason gonna give another try but wondering if there might be something else?
EDIT: so i odin'ed stock rooted EL29 rom that i had on my pc .. will that work or should i also unroot?
dont want to drive all the way to the sprint store for them to tell "OH your device is rooted and we wont work on a device that is rooted". or tell me oh the reason your device is not working could be cause its rooted....
EDIT 2 : installed stock rooted EL 29 and when phone booted it notified me of the update available "ICS" gonna actually let it install since i know stock ICS sucks. .

Well i had odined back to stock rooted EL29 and then after reboot a minute later i got the notification to update so i did then that happen about 3 times till finally got to Fi27 and i dont have root...
I went into the Sprint repair center so they could look at it . THE Rep asked me "so whats wrong with your phone?" so i start telling her that i my phone wont ring some times and that some times it will ring till the callers phone has rang about 4 times and then she says" Oh thats normal the phone is set up that way its set up to have that delay" i was like WROOOOONNGGG no way any phone is set up to have a delay .. well we went back and forth and they didnt even touch my phone i could have been on any custom rom and they wouldnt have cared . she just put some notes in my acct for the next rep to help me....
I also to prove to her the problem grabbed one of the phones on display that is active it was a EVO 4g LTE and called my phone from it and my phone didnt ring till the 4th ring hanged up and then called the EVO phone back and the evo rang on first ring.. All she said was oh its our network theres a tower down went back and forth and figured she dont know what she's talking about....
Then called sprint and the rep did a RTN or something like that which included a full wipe and restore of factory settings and now during the day i have to see if it works or not.

We had this happen to us during NV updates in the area. Not sure if that was it or another issue so I'll throw this out as well: Did you upgrade from an older phone and keep the phone? If so, make sure it's turned off. If it's still happening you'll probably want to see if they're doing NV upgrades in the area as we had all sorts of funky stuff happening. (Towers reporting wrong times, etc.)

Unfortunately the antenna for this phone seems to be a big sticking point for a lot of folks. Now that NV is almost done around here I am doing better; the recent modem updates helped as well. But there are still some problems.... like a certain location I know I have to get off the phone because the tower handoff fails every time.
the radio on this phone sucks thats why im undecided on what phone to upgrade too.. I need to change phone cause of this problem but what phone should i get is the problem
SGS3 almost the same as this phone yeah i know it has some new features but i feel like since its a samsung it most likely will have the same issue : weak radio...
HTC EVO 4g LTE very low on memory . many complain about it having issues connecting to LTE (where LTE is available) but HTC does make good Radio's ..
Galaxy note 2 has many new features it is big in size but ill get used to it and ill use a bluetooth so i wont look crazy holding up to my ear but since theres no LTE in my area i cant be able to talk and surf the web (the evo and sgs3 could) its still a samsung and samsung makes weak radios ....

If you can convince them - honestly, whittle it down to 3-4 and then take them out to your regular work sites and test them.
Then based on how they perform where you need it to you can make a call.
Not sure how it works with Sprint but would think they should allow this kind of testing before you purchase - or upgrade in your case. (MVNO we use does this...)
what i know of sprint is they let you use the device for 14 days and you have to decide if you want it or not....
also i was thinking of trying tmobile out cause im tired of sprints slow 3g data.. I dont have Sprints 4g service everywhere i go... just want to see if anyone who lives in the inland empire California can tell me there experience with it...

Cannot connect to network - - have tried all suggestions on forums

Hey everyone, I have a T-mobile T989 being used on the AWS 1700 Mobilicity network in Canada. I just purchased the phone from ebay and I am having difficulty getting any signal. I can connect for about 10 seconds and then it drops signal. I went to a location right by a mobi tower and I did get some signal there, so something is causing my phone to have a VERY weak signal.
It's not a Mobilicity signal issue as my other phones have perfect reception and signal with the same sim put into them. A lot of the time I can't even find the mobi network.
Things I've tried:
1) Installed all radios listed on the forum
2) Checked APN
3) Rooted and tried CM10 plus Jedi knight roms
4) tried a bunch of little random tidbits I've found over searching the forums for the past week (permissions, wipes etc)
5) WCDMA 1700 band selected
Nothing seems to work at all, could this be a hardware issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've spent day and night over the past week attacking every software related tip I could find, but no luck so far so I'm starting to think hardware. The phone does not have warranty
I have a quick question; did you buy the phone already rooted? When you said you unrooted the phone, you mean you brought the phone to factory stock? Well anyway I have Jedi jelly also, what version are you running, I know 3 doesn't work. All Jedi for me at least won't give me signal for the first five minutes.

Sorry that was a typing error, I meant I rooted the phone, the phone arrived to me in stock form and wasn't getting signal.
Jedi Mind Trick X3
CM10 4.0 stable
T-mobile 4.04
Those are the ROM's I tried, it's the same for all of them, I have tried to leave the phone overnight to see if it picks up signal eventually, but no luck so far with that either.
Thanks for your response.
did you try to odin to stock and go from there yet?
I'm sorry to say you might have to clam a false item description with eBay and PayPal to get your money back. It sounds like it stopped working before you received it.

It arrived to me stock so I didn't try to odin back to stock. Would it have any effect flashing a stock phone with stock again?
I will try it out anyway since there's no harm in trying.

I got signal in the public library parking lot and could access data aswell at super slow speeds. As soon as I move positions it drops signal.
Looks like my best bet is to just buy another one and avoid the headaches, my only concern is if someone knowingly sold a defective phone they will probably put up a fight when I try to return it.
does the same sim card work fine in other phones?
Can you get a new sim card and try that? If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to try next. Maybe install TWRP and run the superwipe script and flash a new radio and stock rom.

Yup the simcard works totally fine in my blackberry. I tried my friends Rogers simcard in the T989 and it did not work either.
I am going to flash an older ROM onto the phone 2.x.x next to see how it goes and then back to stock if that doesn't work.
I caught 3G using UVLE1, but that only lasted about 30 seconds haha.

Upgraded to 4.2.2 now really bad signal

Is anyone having signal issues with 4.2.2? I had a samsung skyrocket before this galaxy nexus and my signal was always good like -85dbm with this nexus in the same location I get -103 and no signal at all. If anyone can help with this please pm me. I'd be willing to shoot you a couple bucks thru paypal for the help. The phone does this all over the place, in the house and even outside and it is causing me some major battery drain.
I check cell stand bye in the battery settings and it shows 32% with no signal with the phone being on for 7 hours. I am missing all kinds of texts and calls, texts going thru very slowly sometimes not at all. I like the stock rom but if I have to go with something else I will. The phone is unlocked rooted with CWM and is being used on t mobile.
In the same place as the skyrocket this phone is getting really bad signal if any at all. Thanks in advance
Running the XXLJ1 radio in northeast ohio sorry forgot to add that
Try different radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345&highlight=radios
Flash in custom recovery.
What radio should I go with? There is a boat load of them on there
Any help????
Best way is trial and error.

I've seen in that list a lot of them are listed as european, australian, canadian nd north america. I am still having zero to 1 signal bar inside my house and it is tanking my battery hopefully I can get this figured out tonight
Make a backup via cwm or twrp and flash the original firmware. I assume that if the connection is still bad, your phone itself is the problem. I guess your family dont have the problem of bad signal?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The original firmware? Which one are you talking about? A link would be appreciated
I am on my fourth radio now, getting 1-2 signal bars and -103 dBm, better then it was but not what it should be
I am inclined to think that it really is this phone. I will try just about anything tho to see if I can fix it to where I am getting good signal tho. Just really crazy how the Skyrocket would get almost full bars and -83 dBm in the same spot as this GNexus

This are the factory images of google. Called Stock Image/Firmware. Did you root your phone or do you use a custom rom?

The phone is rooted and unlocked with CWM installed on it. I am using the stock 4.2.2 rom on it right now. I have never used fastboot before. Can I flash the stock firmware via CWM or does it have to be done via fastboot?
I have the stock 4.2.2 zip file on my phone still from when I upgraded it. Should I just try to flash that again and see if it fixes it?
Calm down mate First of all do a full backup, push it to your pc just to be sure!
Then download the toolkit ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and read the topic(!) and follow the instructions to flash the latest firmware. At the moment i dont know if you have to wipe data / factory reset your phone if you want to flash the original image via the toolkit.

Give a man a fish... Teach a man to fish...
I did it via the toolkit and still the same crap signal inside my house. Outside the signal is fine but in my house its still just as bad as before
Flashed another radio via CWM this time I get up to 2 signal bars inside but I still get -103dBm to -105dBm had a bunch of texts not go thru at all today because of this signal. It really is crazy how much of a difference there can be with signal strength between phones
Idk what is going on I called t mobile last night and complained about my signal, the phone cut off numerous times. Woke up today had **** signal,drove around to numerous corner store cell phone shops looking for a good condition droid x to trade and pocket some cash so I can switch to page plus but no one had a droid x. I got home from work at 11 and since then I have had signal between -89 to -95 3-4 bars. Now I have great signal. T mobile said there wasn't any outage or complaints in my area at all when I called last night. Funny how I had no signal here for almost 2 weeks then out of no where my signal is better then ever.
I was really going to get rid of this phone today and go to page plus. I even burned up a quarter tank of gas trying to find a phone for page plus. Guess I'll see how long this lasts, honestly I don't have my hopes up but it would be nice if this nexus keeps it up. Thanks for the help I appreciate it
Might not be your phone..
I understand this thread is for the Galaxy Nexus, but the update caused a similar issue with my Nexus 4.
I live in a place that doesnt have the greatest signal, yet the phone worked perfectly before I updated to 4.2.2. I would always get around -90db and never had calls cutout. Immediately after updating to 4.2.2, I'm getting -100 to nothing in the same place, and calls are constantly fading/dropping/missing.
Something in the 4.2.2 update definitely F'd up my Nexus 4.

One X strange WiFi problem

Hello guys, I'm new on the forum, I am the owner of HoX for the past 5 months and so far I'm really glad with the phone. Everything worked very well until couple of days ago when I started to get strange problem with WiFi. Problem is not common HoX wi fi problem with signal bars. The thing is, when I connect to my router which is located in my room and when I'm in the room signal is full and everything works fine, I get full speed on the phone and everything is perfect. Problem begins when I move from my room to my living room or any other room in the house, then I still get pretty decent signal (full bars or one bar below full) but data transmission just doesn't work, I can't open any page or anything. The same thing happens with all apps using internet like Playstore etc.
Before I got this problem, I could normally use WiFi even when I get out of the home and signal and speed was just perfect. I am now writing you from my notebook via WiFi and I'm located in living room, while two walls and two doors seperate me from the router and I still have almost full bars and full speed. I had the same thing with One X. I could use WiFi anywhere in the house or even around the house.
I tried to connect to other routers as well in the other places and result is the same. I tried connecting at my University, at my friend's home and same thing occurs.
If anyone has or had the same problem please answer me and tell what to do, phone is just 5 months old. I still have year and a half warranty on it, but I'm not really patient and I wouldn't like to give it for a repair cuz knowing my dealer they wouldn't provide me with a replacement phone. :- Phone is unbranded HoX bought in Europe in November 2012.
Thanking you in advance and sorry for my imperfect English, I am from Europe
EDIT...
I forgot to say that I tried to power off/power on phone, I tried "Best Wi-Fi performance", and I also unticked the Auto Disconnect option and no benefits at all.
I just read the first 3 lines...
Send it to HTC-Care, they will install a spongy-pillars inside your phone, this should fix your WIFI.

I am afraid that's not the answer.
I have faced this problem with my device and HTC in-fact recognized the problem only after i captured a video of the behavior and sent it to them.
The local service center has not heard about it and they escalated the issue to Taiwan. Even a motherboard replacement does not solve the problem.

For me this behavior was irregular and not easily re-producible by the service center guys and hence i resorted to sending them a video comparing my HTC to another one side by side.
They did not have any fix for the solution. I would suggest you do the same as i did. They will choose to give you a temporary loan phone or a replacement phone.
Good luck.
I've had this on both my Desire and HOX and it's usually fixed by switching on mobile data. Doing this seems to remind the phone that it can see the internet and all is well again (it still uses the wifi rather than mobile data).
Thank you all for help. I tried to turn both Mobile data (3G) and WiFi, but same thing happens, and also I began experiencing a lower signal on the same distance from router than I had before.
For example, I had 2 bars before If I was in my living room which is separated by two walls and two doors from my room where is my router located. Now I barely got one bar or sometimes even a dot. So now I'm pretty sure that this is hardware related problem, anyways, there is already a topic about this problem so I will post my enquiries there. Thank you all for help
Did you by any chance got a software update OTA? Check your version number and let us know!

Reply
Hey, thank you for reply. I took two screenshots and this is my software info. BTW. I tried factory reset but that didn't help, problem still exists. As far as I can remember I did have some software update a while ago, but can't really remember what exactly. Here are the screens:
Unfortunately, I'm new user and obiviously I'm not able to post pictures here, but I will write what it says.
Android version:
4.1.1.
HTC Sense version:
4+
Software number:
3.18.401.1
HTC SDK API level:
4.63
HTC Extension version:
HTCExtension_Sense45_1
If you need more info like kernel, baseband etc let me know, btw. phone is not rooted, everything is still original (stock rom) and I haven't even tried to root it, or do anything about it, since when you root your phone, you can say goodbye to your warranty.
yea i see...it's 3.18 you have to update your phone to 3.19 and see if issue with wifi still persists...if yes it's hardware fault if not it's fixed by updating...got to settings/about/ then software update or so and download and install new update..
not for all things warranty is away after rooting
Thanks for reply, but how can I update it, cuz manually it won't work. When I go for software updates it says that there is no updates available for my phone?
EDIT...
I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226098 and some guy says that it will, among other things, repair WiFi reception...
Let's just hope then, that this is some kind of software issue )))
then go to settings and apps and there are those google framework things etc...then clear their cache and reboot
and from google play store too
3.19.401.1 which fixes the WiFi issue is not yet available. I hope we 'll get it soon! I bet that's why you have poor WiFi reception especially since you told us that before you didnt experience any issues at all!
On the road using my HOX
Thank you for replies.
@Ivanovic that's true. I bought HoX in November 2012, and so far I'm really glad with the phone. Haven't had any negative experience, in 5 months it did restarted once or twice on its own, but other than that, everything was pretty fine until recent WiFi problems.
If I had a common HoX WiFi problem, I guess I would have bad signal even 1 centimeter from the router...
Let's hope this update comes ASAP and I hope so it could fix this, if nothing, I still have year and a half warranty on it, but it would be pretty damn hard to explain them this sort of problem and I am afraid that they wouldn't fix it properly.

I had some problem with wifi, the connections were full but the was no data transfer.
I set my router to use B & G channel on, and it works great now.... Just try it, there is no harm in it.

Well, all my wi fi devices work fine on my router except One X. I tested my fathers HTC One V and I tested my notebook computer and they are both working fine. My Wi-Fi reception on One X is significantly reduced since when I go away to other room I got one bar, or even one dot but sometimes I get two bars and no data transfer. I can't remember If I had this problem before 3.18 update, since I don't really use my phone's wi-fi much out of my own room. I first noticed it at my University and at same places like coffee bars.
I don't see why would I have to change router settings, since my router was set up roughly a 6 months ago and everything worked fine including One X. Now One X is the only one which makes troubles.
I sent an email today to HTC with enquiry about this problem and they suggested me to try WiFi from safe mode. I did that and the problem still exists. I tried factory reset and I tried to clear Google framework cache like "One X master" mentioned above. Everything to no avail.
I've never dropped the phone from my hands and it doesn't have a single scratch on it cuz from the day one, I've been keeping it in protective rubber case. Only thing that I'm afraid of is heating during normal use over time. My phone definitely doesn't heat too much, cuz I'm an average user, I mostly use it for facebook, whats app and calls/sms. I don't play a lot of games on it, especially not some really demanding that could heat phone too much, but could just phone's material expand over time during use and heating, so that it causes some parts of WiFi antenna to separate or something like that?
Anyways, I hope so they release 3,19 soon, so I can try with that.

But your problem would be solved with new base of rom....
If rooted, try custom rom...

I tested it really hard for a couple of last days . Tried everything and anything that is possible. From factory reset to safe mode, to various apps and options and to no avail.
However, today I noticed that when I connect on my WiFi while I'm near the router I will have full bars and full speed, and as I'm leaving my room and going to other room signal is still decent and I get decent speed, but the if I just make couple of more steps in my living room from the entering doors to living room signal will go to one bar, one dot and eventually disconnect and it will not be able to connect again from that place, so I have to go to my room again where is my router or in the hall and I will connect again and that's how it is going.
I didn't try to root phone nor I will root it until my warranty expires. 550 € is so much for, by all means overpriced devices, I mean in general. You pay them that much for phone and it is still able to screw you up, especially when I'm almost sure that my problem is not related to One X common wi fi problem with squeeze test.
However someone mentioned that next update 3.19 will fix "Wi-Fi reception bug", but I couldn't really find what to they mean by that. Do they admit that there is some kind of issue here with software, or they will just "improve" Wi Fi reception for the devices that are working normally.
Today, I did a factory reset from the bootloader mode, and first 10 minutes after the reset everything was working fine, I was really excited, but then after some time, things didn't go so well, so I got problems again. Connected but no data transfer, or connected but after some time disconnect...
I'm really pissed of. Don't see any logical explanation why would it work after factory reset from bootloader mode, and then fuc* me up again.
I received new 3.20 update today and after some time spent testing WiFi it seems that WiFi is working perfect, just like before. So far so good and I hope so it stays this way. You can lock this thread if you want to. Thanks for help
