Signal strength - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Anyone else having troubles with the signal strength on a 8.1 custom rom? With stock oos always full strength but the minute I am running a 8.1 custom rom i can hardly get 1 stripe.
What to do?

Same here. At work I get a low signal on OOS and NO signal on any custom ROM. I'm stuck on OOS because of this. I know it's common for manufacturers to artificially enhance the apparent signal by messing with the bars displayed, but this is different. I can make calls and text on OOS and can't on any other ROM.

On custom rom i can get I bar more when I switch to lte only in network settings. Still not close to what i get with oos but maybe it helps you.

calling sound problems

I'm having problems that others don't understand me after calling a few minutes (> 10minutes mostly).They hear sometimes only beep.beep.beep.(like signial loss).
This makes the phone actually useless.
Tried downgrading radio to 1.65 series? Some have reported that older radios sometimes work better on android than the latest.

Upgrading radio using nbh method on android ? (camera+power+reset): edit:yes
I also only have always 3 out of 4 signal bars (on both kaisers, everywere).
- Rename radio ROM to "KIASimg.nbh" and place in root of SD.
- Boot into bootloader mode by powering off phone then booting by pressing power and camera buttons at the same time.
- Follow prompts to flash the radio ROM and reboot.
I recommend using an SD that is empty or has been backed up.

Don't know, it's diffucult to test (need to talk for a while).
I've installed radio 1.58
no one gets 4 bars here?
Never had 4 bars on android, but what exactly does 4 bars mean?
Lets put it this way, it's a graphical representation of the received signal strength, ok, but what exactly is the scale, 0-100? 0-4? Db? It's just an indication, don't treat it as accurate in any way.
Where I work I am within 100M of a cell tower, and my signal meter never reads higher than 3 bars, on winmo it's 4, does this mean that using winmo means I receive a larger signal? I doubt it, I think it just means that the scale of measurement is different.
So don't worry about the signal meter.

thxs, what are your experiences when calling?
Is there a way to increase volume (market?)?
I've had no issues when calling, and for me volume is usually on the loud side, I normally have it set as low as possible, my radio is 1.70.xx from the latest htc stock rom.
I'm not sure that any problems you have with volume are software related, as far as my experience goes, speaker and headphone volume has always been rather high on Android.
I also had the beeps during a call the other day after installing Myn's Warm Eclair. It was the same sound you get when dialing a number using the on-screen dial pad but the beeps just came randomly whilst i was talking. The person on the other end of the phone couldn't hear it but i couldn't hear a word they were saying over the beeps. I need to play with it some more and see what was causing it.

I tried latest 1.70: sound volume is even less compared to 1.71
Anyway I've bought an HTC G1 (for 120eur= 140 dollar), I really need a good working phone that I can rely on (with android).
I've bought two kaisers in the past for 90eur each, I've learned a lot of android, but I want a build that I can use for a while.
Sometimes when I turn Bluetooth or wireless off/on I get less signial.

[Q] the phone loses singnal sometimes

Sometimes the phone loses signal, the dbm goes to -113 and the asu to 0, it still shows im connected to a network.
It just shows 0 bars and i cant receive calls.
When i try to call the bars go back up, although i have to try and call again for it to make the call.
rom mildwild 3.3 oxy
custom hboot
Tried a few radios and it didnt help.
Is it a hardware issue?
Try if a ROM change solves the problem.
Sent from dGB using Transparent XDA App
Changed to oxygen, still the same.
I noticed that if i dont touch the phone and its on the table the signal is always good (shows in battery use).
Edit: Flashed oxygen and there was no reception for a few minutes, hit it a few times on the table and its back.
To bad my warranty expired.
Any way to fix by myself?
Oxygen is bad attempt because MildWild is based on it. I recomemnd to try a complete different ROM, e.g. ICS oder dGB.
Thing is i had oxygen for a while and didnt have that issue.
Hmm since i hit the phone it seems to work fine lol.
Edit: Losing signal again

Signal Issue

I have a strange problem.. I am getting full bars with my signal but still the battery stats is not showing that green colored line.
see the attachment. you will understand what I'm talking about.
with stock everything was fine except the battery was horrible but since i switched to custom roms and after flashing ARHD 7.2 rom, this issue has occured.
Not that it makes much of a difference but its weird.. and i am kinda scared if its some radio problem or something.. I switched to Renovate rom but still the issue is same. So is this something that i should be worried about?
signal strength -75dBm 19asu
anyone?
That's the same with my phone, I'm running ViperX Rom.
I know I've got good signal so it's nothing to be worried about
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium
I m on 7.2.1 and i confirm i have same bad signal and data connection drop
I was better on 7.1 ..

Wifi Issues

Has anyone else has wifi issues on their HOX? I think for me it was mostly after a OTA update to 2.17.751.2 that I notice my wifi connect was a lot weaker that it used to be and I wasn't picking up as many signals as I used to. Like I would get 2 bars where I used to get full bars
I messaged HTC about this and they said to try and press lightly on the back of the between in the area between the camera and the volume rocker and viola signal strength jumped to full and I started seeing many signals again. But the problem was I had to keep it held to keep the full signal.
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and what they did besides sending it in.
P.S. I don't have warranty anymore.

Hi mate
its a common issue with the One x if u look at this tread it would help u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
There are two people who mentioned having weak wifi after the 2.17. I wouldn't do the squeeze test before trying the next ota(jb) or trying older roms first.

Signal strength bar not showing anything.

So this is now the third ROM I have been on, and the problem is the same. I get 3G, H+ and those kind of signal info in the top navigation bar. But no matter where I am or what I do. There is never any bars showing in the signal. It is a minor problem but a bit annoying still. Anyone have a good idea of why this happens?
