Flash a different radio.
Just letting you know if you hold your phones like that, most of the phones drop signal to like 1 bar.

Ive flashed over 10 different radios and this still happens. I dont know where else to turn?

I wonder if your phone is defective -- perhaps the antenna is not connected properly ?

Baseband Version
12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
Mod version
CyanogenMod-7.0.2-vision
Yes my phone does experience a drop in signal when I hold it at the bottom but the only way I can lose all the bars is if I hold the phone in the most awkward way possible, completely covering the bottom. 2 out of 4 bars realistically doesn't hurt me unless I happen to walk pass something with shielding, which might cause me to lose all my bars (For example: walking by the microwave in my kitchen while holding the bottom of the phone might cause a dropped call.) How often am I going to be walking by a microwave? lol
If it matters much, I'm in NYC so the only way I can not get service is if I go underground into the subway or something. If you're in a place with a weaker signal, it could be possible that covering the bottom of the phone puts you on the fence in terms of signal strength

As a side note though, when holding the phone in landscape without the keyboard open, my left hand completely knocks out the wifi signal since the wifi antenna is on the top of the phone. It makes me rage sometimes when trying to watch streaming video lol.

agreed.. i get the wifi issue but doesn't bother me.. my phone doesn't drop when i hold it.. anyways. i just tried.. but i am next to a window and have full bars.. regardless of how i hold it. its probably a defective phone honestly..

better radio for t-mobile us?

my baseband right now is i9250xxkk1 and i'm getting absolutely horrendous service in my home. i'm constantly on 1 bar of edge and even worse than that, almost everytime i'm on a call it'll just randomly lose service for 30 seconds and come back.
Never had any issues like this on my nexus one, i always had to shut 3G off so it didn't get stuck trying to switch to edge, but once it was on edge it worked just fine. this phone is just getting to the point where i can't make phone calls in my own room.
it's not always though. it had been good for like 4 days, but today now i've tried to make 3 calls and eventually i just gave up and used the house phone. i can even leave it in the same spot with 4 bars of edge, and as soon i pick it up and move it drops to 1 bar or loses service. and i mean move it by only a couple inches. or hell, i can just leave it there and it'll fluctuate between no service and 1,2,3,4 bars.
really hoping someone can give me some help here cause this is getting really annoying.

Have you tried the radio UGLK1 ? It is optimized for North America.
You can donwload it here :

thanks. i'll give this one a shot. i don't mind being stuck on edge, i just want to be stuck on edge, not losing service every few seconds.

There's no perfect radio for a specific carrier. It depends on your location as well.
I'm personally using xxkk6 on T-Mobile US and getting great service and speeds.

i'm not asking for perfect, just to actually have stable edge service in my home.
so far the radio posted above has worked good. was on a 30 minute phone call with my phone in all the locations it used to drop and it stayed at 2-3 bars. only dropped to 1 a couple times and quickly went back up.
looking forward to seeing if it improves my 3g speeds at all later today.

I'm on T-Mobile and prefer XXKK6.

Sounds like you are experiencing the "bug" that me and many othgers have been experiencing after flashing 4.0.3+ AOSP ROMS... I have a thread dedicated to it with some solutions.
Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487239 and read through. You will see that there are certain Radio / ROM / Kernel combos that fix this issue. The issue is NOT all RADIO related.
Hope this helps...

don't think that bug is what was happening to me because i was having the issue on ARHD on 4.02 as well. but it did get a lot worse on the 4.03 rom.
for now, this new radio seems to have fixed it for me. i've gone down to 1 bar a few times but i'm not constantly losing service like i was before.

Sorry I really new in the forun and I don't know how "instal" de radio.
i have the same problem but with de GSM version

I haven't really heard of a reason for signal to be weaker on another rom. Usually you just have trouble connecting to the right network. Do a quick google for Rogers/Fido APNS and then make sure they match what you have (settings->more...->mobile networks->access point names). If that does not help I don't understand why your signal would be weakened.
If I have helped slap that thanks button

I noticed the same thing, are you comparing your signal to that of TouchWiz (stock)? For some reason Samsung reports the signal a little bit different than AOSP. It has also been discussed that Sammy reports more bars than there actually is, AOSP is supposed to report the signal as it is, no gimmicks or false reporting. Also, some people say that a TouchWiz rom can hold onto the signal better in low signal areas vs AOSP due to closed source drivers. (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) That being said, some also claim faster data on a stock rom. Check under status on both roms in the same spot and see for yourself. I would be curious if you got the same results as me. Basically different algorithm's for calculating/displaying signal.

HTC 10 calls disconnect

Hey guys, my dad has a HTC10 and he is having a really annoying problem.
he can call people and at random times the calls will just disconnect, he has no signal issues so that kinda made me think it wasn't the common LTE faults, can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance.

perhaps
rooted?
custom ROM?
bad service area?
You've provided no relevant info

my apologies, i should have included more info on the device.
phone is stock, only a few months old, no root and running standard rom and no custom launcher.
service in the area is fine, and it happens everywhere he goes, signal doesnt seem to make a difference, i've got him to keep an eye on the signal strength when it happens but he said the bars are always full.
thanks

Poor Reception

Hello,
Is there any modems that I can try loading to improve reception? I had a Moto Z Play before this and got great reception. Now, when I visit my second company site, sometimes I wont get texts or calls for hours because I am not getting reception... In my main company location, I struggle to get reception too, but it works...
Maybe any Rom suggestions that may improve my reception?
Thanks!
Joshua

well i'll go ahead and tell you that Oos will give you slightly better signal than most custom roms (at least in my experience). but thats not saying theres not anything out there that I haven't seen...... but AFAIK no.

Stay on OxygenOS, but you can't do miracles because our op5t is not exactly a champ in signal reception. In my experience it's easily beaten by Xperia xz1 and Galaxy S7, and that is something the "reviewers" forget to mention, though.

Agreed with the latest 2 comments, nothing much you can do, but I've tried several roms, and found out the best experience is yet with OOS roms.

I have T mobile, and a left over Oneplus ONE at home, so I am going to upgrade up to the 6T and sell off this 5T, breaking even... Lol
Such a shame... Thanks for the reply's guys!

Hey All ,
I dont really have bad reception but when my signal drops like gone and I get back into a better area it takes forever to reconnect. Sometimes i just toggle flight mode but it's really annoying . Is this my 5t having a hard time or could it be a carrier thing ? Using O2 in Germany
Thanks

Same here, I feel your pain, my car is parked in my garage where I have no reception at all, every time I get out with my car it takes forever to reconnect and for Waze to find traffic information.
Not your device bro, not your carrier either, just regular OP5T daily issue. Using Orange in France.
