How to improve signal reception and in call sound quality? - Sprint LG G2

Hello,
I have ls 980 phone on which i have zvg mod custom rom installed and i use it in asia(non sprint networks).
I find that the sound quality in the calls is extremely poor and cracking. Also the signal reception is quite bad.
Please suggest what should i do?
Should i try some other rom? or should i change some kernel/bootloader etc?

First Radio ROM 1.20 can someone extract it?

As I heard from many users the first Radio ROM for trinity the 1.20 had a better and louder sound from the internal speaker on calls and by far better signal reception! Although it lacks the GPS functionality I would flash it to my Trinity in order to use it as a phone! Seems that the GPS functionality is sacrificing the GSM performance of the phone!
Any volunteers that can make a radio only upgrade (downgrade) with 1.20 that can be found on WiKi?

as a previous user of the 1.20 radio i can tell you sadly that the rumor isnt true, i didnt notice any decrease in reception when i switched to 1.46.30 nor in volume, and i say it sadly because i also find the trinity volume too low for my taste...

My problem is not the volume since I use an iTech Mini Clip II BT that supports 2 mobile phones connectivity and the sound is more than clear and loud but my real problem is the reception and the 3G to 2G transfer. The guy that told me about the non GPS ROM Radio talked to me about Radio versio 1.32! Have you ever heard of that version?
yes, i tried pretty much all rom and radio versions i could put my hands on trying to somehow improve the volume and reception because i live in a poor reception area and have a war injury that slightly damages my hearing...
the results im affraid are no dramatic improvement although the 1.32 does show a slight, and i do mean slight as in barely noticeable increase in reception, but you get increased battery drain compared to the 1.46
i didnt check it scientificly, but i read once a thread here by someone who tested it and came to the same conclusion...
sorry to disapoint

The just flash again with a cooked ROM without RADIO. Alternatively - extract the RADIO part of either of these ROMS to flash - Get in the kitchen. At least these ROMS are available and contain non GPS Radio.

[Q] rooting for better call quality

Hello,
I know there must be quite a number of topics on this but honestly I didn't know where to start. I googles and searched XDA for keywords like "galaxy nexus call quality" "fix call quality without root" "root to fix call quality" with no straight answer or direction on what to do.
So let's start with the issue:
Call quality is terrible. Calls drop occasionally and I rarely have 3g or 4g while on a call making calling and surfing the web impossible. Bluetooth and headset call quality are equally low and terrible. the voice sounds garbled up and I sound like I'm underwater according to my fiancee.
What I'm searching for:
A solution. I'm quite familiar with rooting (sorta) so I have no problem doing that if I need to. So i guess my question is this - If root is the best and most reliable option, where should I go on instructions to root this phone and which rom is most like stock but is stable and doesn't have any issues like MMS problems, lag, battery drainage. I hope this was clear enough.
I would appreciate any and all help.
You all are wonderful - I've read tons of other posts and I'm always so impressed by the solutions and answers (which is why I rarely have to even post anything)
Thanks in advance )

Try what mrgnex is suggesting, no need to be rooting just yet. Read efrants 101 and return to stock, both stickied on General. By the way, if you have been lurking here for a while, you should know by now that you need to post in the right section: this belongs in Q&A.

You should never have 3g data while on a call (Verizon), only when you are on LTE or WiFi; if you are on 3G and on a phone call, you will NOT have internet. No way around that, it is a limitation of the CDMA network.
First thing I would recommend is making sure your radios are up to date.
I almost never have dropped calls (on VZW). I'm in a very well covered LTE area so no issues with data here. I am on CM10.1 stable and find it to be a very nice ROM, I do use bluetooth allot and it always functions well for me. I'm not saying CM is right for you, but it works well for me.

[Q] [Q&A] Sound issues on custom ROMs

So as the title says i've Unlocked, installed CWM and Rooted my 816 which is Dual Sim.
I then installed the unofficial CM12 from Grarak,
while mostly the rom was fine for me, i just couldn't get over how it sounded, especially at max volume.
There was a lot of distortion and extra sounds going on. I tried the Official CM11 , but had the same issue.
I'm wondering if there's any third party app or flashable software to make it sound like it does on stock?
EDIT: I'm also experiencing network issues, such as Network search coming up with an Error and finding 0 networks. It really bothers me since my carrier supports 2 networks, 1 free and the second is charged,
Automatic just seems to switch to the charged one a lot.
Thanks for your answers

Without HTC's audio drivers that are built into sense ROM's the auido will be very sub par.
As far as your network issue's I have no clue.

Thanks for your reply, i was thinking along those lines, but thought maybe there was a workaround this issue. Well it's not that bad as long as i keep the volume a few steps below maximum.
I just hope we get some official support for lollipop, because i freaking love it so far.
You should try flashing audio mods such as xLoud or a mod that has many other audio aspects.

Bad call quality and noise from the ear speaker when using FB Messenger, Skype, Viber

Hello guys,
I just got a new LG G4 812 Canadian version. There is one thing that I noticed so I was wondering whether this issue is happening just to me or not. While talking on Facebook Messenger, Viber or Skype and using the ear speaker the call quality is bad and I can even hear like cracking noises at times. However, when using the earphones or the rear speaker the quality is perfect. This is not happening when using the regular calls over the cell network, meaning the ear speaker is working fine. I have also tried using different WIFI access points and also cell connection, but it is the same. Can you please give me some comments on that? Thanks
No one?
I'm not having this problem dude

Hi I just wonder if you already fixed this issue? I have the same problem with LG G4 from rogers (H812). Thanks
Hi @freddyharjanto. Nope, the issue is still there. I thought that after upgrading to 10n it will be fine but its again the same. Now at least we know that its not just mine or just your device...meanwhile if you find what is the problem please post it here. I will do the same. Cheers.
Same problem here... (LG g4 H815 european version MM) Wifi works like a charm in general.. But when i make video calls using FB messenger or viber i get "weak connection" and poor call quality even though wifi signal indicator is full.... HEEELP

Unreliable LTE signal?

I have tried a number of custom ROMs, Oreo and Pie based. They all have this issue where signal is mostly on zero bars, and it leads to flaky VoIP calls, and low data throughput on LTE. I have read even OOS has this flaky LTE, but it is masked to some extent.
However, I have also heard that some people only have this issue on custom ROMs and not OOS.
• Is there a way to fix the flaky LTE signal, on custom ROMs?
LTE signal used to be so much better, and reliable on Nexus 5, that I never even had to turn on WiFi.

I can confirm that this really seems to affect custom roms more than Oxygen OS. For me this has affected my battery life, and i have a bit of a theory: the way android handles signal is that whatever the system reports as its signal affects what the system believes is the max data throughput (such as if your signal was really a 4G signal but you were being registered as a 3G, Android will only pull data as fast as it can believe a 3G signal can), the power it uses on the cellular antennas ( Less "signal" = more power drain). the reason i have come to think this is because i have been testing this theory on both custom roms and Oxygen OS, and in the same locations with the same kind of usage, and custom roms always seem to suffer the symptoms of a low signal, along with a lower reporting signal than Oxygen OS. This can either be due to custom rom devs using an inferior kernel than Oneplus uses, or its truly due to the signal reporting. i dont believe its the kernel, as this issue has been identical in all the custom roms i've been using (CRDroid, Pheonix, Omni, Treskmod, and even Lineage). now as for a solution....... I'm afraid we might be out of luck most people who COULD help live in higher reception areas so they don't understand how this affects those of us in lower reception ares, so they won't be much help as they don't really care. I can't really help because im in college and have two jobs and can't really afford to take the time to finally learn to develop on android (C++ takes enough time right now as it is)(and even though ive been doing android stuff for 8 years i still havent learned any lawl). and ive looked through our forums and some others and havent really found anything of help to us. If I remember correctly, it seems like Havoc OS would actually do like oxygen OS and "Lie" about the reception, but i dont think its had an update in a while. so i think the best bet is just to keep asking around and maybe someone will see this forum and have some help of some sort.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if reporting the signal like on OOS would help.
I also have mobile data issues, like voice being muted on VoIP calls, when signal drops to 0 bars.
I hope it gets fixed in custom ROMs.
@codeworkx suggested changing the preferred network type to Global, to an user having LTE signal issues on just custom ROMs.
Looking at the network type in phone info, after dialing *#*#4636#*#*, it appears to be LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL).

I'll try this again and see, but before I tried this and it didn't really help. AT&T in my area is just horrible and unusable. when I went to D.C. this last summer i had better service and had none of these problems.. maybe someone will make a magisk module that can fix all this...

After setting the preferred network type to Global, LTE signal and throughput seem to be close to what Nexus 5 used to have, in the exact same area and network provider.
Webpages also seem to load a tad faster. I will still keep an eye on the signal today.
I second this. Have been using AEX for a while now and the signal issue persists which makes me want to go back to stock OOS. I get a max of 2 bars and battery life has taken a hit with SOT of 5-6 hrs on average, before it would be between 8-9 hrs. It's a hard price to pay for all the customization but I feel I'll go back to stock so that I can have better call/signal.
I have tried @codeworkx's suggestion but that didn't help much. Hopefully there's a solution soon.
Yeah me too have that issue. At 1st I thought that the tower nearby my area is not proper. But it's the issue with custom rom

What network type do you guys have? I'm on at&t, and I'm gonna try fiddling with apn settings and other stuff and see if there's anything I can figure out, I'm wondering if it's a frequency thing that custom roms struggle with.

Updated to AEX 1.9. Network has improved a lot. I've currently set on Global and I'm getting LTE on Airtel India. Connectivity is on par with stock OOS. If you're on AEX, I'd recommend the update.

Thanks for pointing that out. I looked at the changelog for AEX 1.9, and stumbled upon this change:
https://gitlab.com/APOPHIS9283/frameworks_base/commit/7eee9cb50155c01f03d76f050dd956c9a16abefa
It seems to precisely deal with the signal bars. I guess it's time to request other ROM developers to include this commit in their ROMs.

Found more about this. Apparently Xiaomi phones also have similar signal issues on custom ROMs. Fix is the same as above, but there are other ways of implementing the fix.
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/01/22/x...tual-cellular-signal-strength-from-end-users/
Edit: Apparently Samsung, Google, LG, Xiaomi, OnePlus and possibly other manufacturers have this change made in stock ROMs!
Carbon ROM has a few commits related to fixing flaky LTE signal, that are not the same as ones mentioned above.
Carbon ROM may not have LTE signal issues, too. It needs to be tested though.

But this would only change visual representation of signal what about change in actual signal
I forgot about the testing menu accessed by the activity launcher (I'm using AOSiP) and I changed two options: set my radio band country (in the 3 dot menu) to America, and also changed my network type there to LTE/UMTS (PRL Auto) . The network has been slightly improved, but I may go try AEX and see if it's better there.
https://repo.xposed.info/module/me.hbc.ltemobilesignalfix
Made an xposed module for Android 9 Pie to make the LTE signal behave like on stock ROMs. Apps that optimize behaviour based on Signal Strength tend to actually work better with this. This module should work on all custom ROMs, that do not have this already enabled. (Tested working on AOSiP 9 official)
Apart from most OEMs enabling this by default on stock ROMs, some mobile carriers also enable it on their end.

This cannot be accomplished using a magisk module. However, you can use this xposed module systemlessly. Install riru core and riru edxposed (yafha) from magisk manager.
Then you just need to install edxposed installer, to manage your xposed modules.
