I work out in the middle of nowhere, there is one cell tower and usually I get slightly more than half bars. My connection isn't great as it is.
When I updated to 4.1.0 tho I noticed I frequently had to reset my data connection (toggle airplane mode on and off) to get data to work faster than a snails pace. After a couple days of this I downgraded my modem back to 4.0.3 and my data works again as normal.
I also had my pebble smartwatch lose connection for the first time, repeatedly, on 4.1.0. on 4.0.3 I never had this problem.
Has anyone else experienced these issues​? I know 4.1.0 was supposed to improve wifi and bluetooth but I haven't seen much criticism, maybe it's just me? I will have to test again when I'm in the city again.

For those having modem issues there is a list of flashable modems here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628

Same thing as you op downgraded modem to the same you did its more stable but still drops out

Well I have been having some major wifi issues as off late. I have wiped and reinstalled various roms and nothing has seemed to fix. Right now I am running cm nightlies.
My wifi is EXTREMELY slow. At my house I get 12M/1M on my computer (which is wireless) and on my phone I can get anywhere from 500-2500kb down and from 0-750 up. When doing speedtests it freezes on both the upload and download and sometimes will not finish upload test and give me latency of 999.
I have used my wifi in various locations (home, work, hospital) with the same result: my 3g speeds are way better than my wifi.
What are some things that I can do to attempt to resolve this? If it matters my kernel is: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmod.
I seem to have signal issues on both ROM's. I'll give you guys a little background information.
I've used Fresh and Myn ROM's and always get perfect 3G coverage in my house and around town. Everytime I flash an AOSP rom I can't seem to connect to anything but 1X (if I'm lucky). When I was using the 2 previously mentioned Sense ROM's I'd have no issues with data. For the record I don't do a restore of my system data or apps when I flash because I prefer to download everything again to prevent FC's and other issues.
I've done a nandroid restore and updated PRL and Profile in a Sense ROM (2X) and then restored my AOSP ROM (ultimate droid) and that doesn't fix signal issues. My girlfriend has an Evo and she gets perfect signal on 3G (4G as well but she has it off) so it's not network related.
I downloaded the latest radio and pri from the development thread and flashed them in recovery. That didn't do anything at all and may have been a waste of time.
I then did these steps:
Dialed *#*#463+#*#*
Clicked on Phone Info
Turned off Radio (waited 1 min)
Turned radio back on
Ran ping test (failed because of no data signal). I can make/receive calls but nothing data related.
Is anyone having this issue? This has prevented me from fully enjoying AOSP ROM's and I don't know what the issue is. I'm using the latest PRL but could it be that my radio is broken? I would ready appreciate any help.
*** Update ***
I'm typing this thread on my phone and it's displaying 3G in full bars and then jumps to 1X full bars. It's kind of random but never steady. If anyone can please help me with this I'd appreciate it.
By the way I have an Airrave. Could that be the cause of my problems?

Same. i have this issue. although i dont get 1X. but i do however get spiking signal.
from what ive learned, the bars arent ur reception but how good ur connection is to the....satelites? aslong as u have 3G showing ur phone/internet SHOULD be working. although i would rather like to see all full bars where i normally would
i'm in a pretty high 4g signal area, but i love ultimate droid. i too have loopy 3g using cm6 or ultimate droid, would gladly give up my 4g to use either of these roms, but the 3g performance is way slower than on a sense rom. it's not just the bars, 3g on aosp is almost unusable, on sense roms, it works nicely
I solved my issue. The root of the problem is the Airave and how it connects with AOSP ROM's.
When I flash a Sense based ROM I don't have an issue with 3G and signal. I'm in a perfect 3G area by the way.
As soon as I disconnected the Airave last night my 3G signal came back with a vengeance. It hasn't left and is steady. I plugged in the Airave again and I saw my signal disappear and never come back. I could make/receive calls but no data access. I have the latest version of the Airave. Could someone (DEV) of an AOSP ROM investigate this issue. I knew it wasn't my phone because it would only happen in AOSP ROM's.

Can anyone help with an issue I get using AOSP/ICS roms. On a GB rom I normally get 1-4 bars of signal in my house, 3G speed is fairly rubbish but it does work. Whenever I flash any version of CM9 or AOKP I get 0-2 bars of signal, and mostly no mobile data.
The phone can be sitting on a table and show 2 blue bars, often if I pick it up it will change to none and give me network errors. I can normally still send texts and make calls when it is like this, just no data and things like Play Store fail to connect.
Calk's ICS rom may be a little better, but not much (the signal meter on Calk's bounces between 1x and 3G along with low bars).
Switching back to a GB rom I get all my signal back and the slow but actually working 3G. I have tried several modems on both GB and ICS and they show no difference in behaviour (I have tried EL29, FD10, FD16)
Since I have wifi at home it's not a real issue for data, however it seems to kill the battery searching for a signal. The "Time without a signal" shows 20-30% most of the time on ICS, vs 0% on GB.
Any ideas on why ICS roms are giving me no signal?
Cheers,
Richard
I've been getting the same thing but the connection seems to be the same as when I was getting more bars on GB. This is especially true when I'm using Wi-Fi. I'll get one bar of signal strength but it is still fast and I'm nor having connection problems.

i'm having a similar problem, only difference is that mine on ICS was working fine untill i softbricked and restoring back to ICS using CFRoot.. now i (just like you) have 0-2 bars, and have tried dozens of modems and kernels to fix the problem..
eh, maybe i should go back to GB too - see if that fixes my problem
If you search around these forums you'll find something bout getting rid of proxies that the sprint server uses... some people have reported great success and increased service while others have had no noticeable difference, I myself haven't gotten around to trying it, bit I still plan to, sorry I'm mobile right now and can't find the post, I'll see bout linking it when I get home

I've done this on a couple phones and I've gotten good improvements each time. It will only affect your 3g speeds and not 4g, and it's not a guaranteed improvement.. there are many factors that can affect. Check your speeds before and after to see if it helps you or not! =)

Yessir thank you for the link

Hey guys
I use AOKP and around the time it moved to 4.0.4 my phone started behaving oddly. Say I'm.driving and go through an area with no coverage, when I get back into coverage, my phone connects to the network for calls and sms, but data doesn't reconnect.
I have the latest AOKP with IMM761 kernel but it still happens.
It's very annoying as I use IM and email constantly. Cycling flight mode fixes temporarily but takes quite a while and this basically makes push notifications redundant.
I used to have an SGS2 that behaved similarly on 3, but before I call and rant, I wanted to check if this is a bug regardless of network, or if it's something to do with a problem between Samsung radios and 3's network again.
Cheers
Mike
Have you got IMM76D or IMM76I?
The latest should fix those bugs...
What radio are you using?
However, if you put the phone in airplane mode and then switch it off after just some seconds, it should be fine.
It takes a good few minutes to cycle flight mode on AOKP. It's quicker for me to reboot.
Baseband XXLA2
IMM76I kernel (that comes with AOKP Milestone 5).
I never actually had the bug before updating to the latest stuff. Now I can't rely on it. It's basically unusable.
For the past week and a half, I've had internet issues when I'm on 3g. It works fine on wifi. I've switched between ROMs, kernels, modems, etc. I'm currently on Goodness with the MA6 firmware modem AIO and the anthrax kernel. I've tried updating the profile & prl. I have between 2-4 bars of 3g and yet it still gives me the webpage not available sign. I tried clearing the cache/ fixing the permissions. But the internet simply won't work. I'm in Maryland, between Baltimore and Frederick. What could the problem be? Maybe the phone itself is defective or Sprint's network died in my area?
I'd see if they're doing work i that area. I know in areas of Baltimore 4G is there, I believe. You could try using build prop tweaks ect for signal if you wanted.

Misery loves company.
The 2nd post is a thread I started regarding the same problem. The first post is to a thread I thought could help me. I tried some things mentioned in there but none of them worked. Then someone posted in the thread who is having the same problem.
Here's what I've been running into and what I tried. I am on FreeGS3, Anthrax kernel, and recently updated to MA6 when I started having problems. I use a battery saver so my internet connection turns off when my screen is off. I started noticing a week or so ago that when I woke up my phone, the 3g icon would appear but only the up arrow flashed. The download arrow wasn't doing anything. I would toggle it off and on and eventually get it to work. I'm in the Raleigh-Durham area and we are just starting to get LTE. My 4G works whenever I go through 4G areas and my wifi works. I have restored a working backup, wiped my phone, flashed back to stock unrooted, called Sprint (they refreshed my signal and had me do an OTA activation), manually changed my PRL, upgraded to MA6, updated profile (when I could get it work).........and I think that about sums it up. The one thing I've noticed is my phone works flawlessly when the network mode is set to CDMA. At this point I'm clueless. I really don't think it's a phone issue because 3g works on CDMA. It's like when the phone is set to CDMA/LTE and it doesn't have an LTE signal, it doesn't know what to do. That up arrow flashes in such a rhythm that it's like the code is stuck in a loop.
