Hi,
does anyone experience problems regarding the gps-reception or functionality regarding the XZ2C? I've heard of a few problems but nothing systematic. It would be a complete dealbreaker for me, if there were ongoing issues with the phone's gps reception otherwise I would really like to buy that thing, because it's the only decent compact phone at the moment.

Recently flashed my tilt 2 rodium to energy rom. Everything works great except the bluetooth, for some reason the range sucks on it. If i move more then 6 feet from the phone and the headset, quality starts to get choppy. Never had the problem with the other phone. Any idea, or fix maybe??
any help would be great

I'm not personally familiar with that ROM, but some of them may include a different radio than you had in your stock rom, and that can definitely affect BT performance. If you have a new radio in there now and are seeing issues like this, you can try out different radios to see if one gives you better results. Info and instructions HERE.
Hello, I know there was a lot of questions like mine, but, I can't compare it in the same time (I mean, comparing wifi strength), I have only one DHD
Which rom has better wifi signal reception? I know that this is more related to radio, not to rom, but, I would like to know, what is your opinion and what are your experiences? I have CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and recommended radio 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2, and I think that wifi is a little bit less powerful than on e.g. Android Revolution 5.x and with the same radio, I'm not talking about bars and other indicators, I'm talking about "dBm". Around my house (close to exit doors) I have wifi signal on ARHD, and it was stable signal, and on CM7 I have there signal too, but it's not as stable as on ARHD. What is your opinion about that? Regards
Ei! Logically they influence many variables here ... type of baseband, rom, power of the sign wifi, situation of the issuer and the recipient ... it is a diffuse enough question i think...
because What serves me can that it does not serve you...
it´s only my opinion
+1 on SERGL's answer there. the ROM's are going to be using different kernels and have different methods of distributign power to the wifi chipset. Also you may have noticed Wifi is a strage beast when it comes to signals, the oddest thing can affect it (qualified network technician, don't get me started on wireless algorithms), heck even being in the path of it can affect it.
To answer your Question though in my personal experience they have been very similar, some radios have given me better signal strength than other but at the cost of battery.
Suck it and see...
Hi vBB
Yea.. I agree with both SERGI.3210 and wbbigdave. However, from what I understand that questions like these are pretty subjective. It have tonnes of factors that is almost impossible to be listed here. Lol.
It might not be the ROM and/or Radio etc that caused it to be weak but the telco companies themselves that caused the problem.

yeah mate..i´m with you. there are a lot of variables that make influence in the strenght signal
its a very subjective question, for example im living in a town and my house dates of 1910 more or less!!! The walls have 40 cm of thickness LOL this influences also enough
Hi, coming from a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and am considering picking up an S3 for my upgrade. I just have one question I wasn't able to find an answer to while searching: do you notice a drop in signal quality on your GPS between Touchwiz and, say, CM10?
On my E4GT (bought on the release date), I notice a pretty dramatic drop in GPS accuracy when I go to any of the AOSP-based ROMs and just want to make sure this isn't an issue before I make the jump. Way fewer satellites on GPS Test, that sort of thing.
I'd also be curious about any thoughts on the GPS performance of the GS3in general, too. I use the car navigation a lot, as well as some tracking apps for cycling and running.
Thanks for any help!

My question is about signal strength and/or radio differences among different ROMs.
My EUR G3 is rooted but otherwise stock with 10L. It works almost perfectly for my needs.
Titanium Backup, Greenify, SuperSU, Xposed modules and Nova Prime have delivered a supreme experience so far.
The only thing that worries me is signal strength.
From the beginning (back in July) the signal (all bands) wasn't as strong as I expected to be. At some point I realized that I loose a few calls and then I called Vodafone which acknowledged the problem and provide me a microcell - which has done a terrific job for two rooms in my apartment but not so for the one room away from the device. Needless to say that the battery performs just great cause the G3 has not have to search for a better signal all the time. Outside things are far from perfect: in some places I have very good signal while at others a very bad one. And here comes the question: is there a custom ROM in kitkat or lollipop offering a better radio/signal?
The reason I haven't tested yet is because after a last week's flash I went back to stock with kdz and started from scratch in order to replicate the very good experience: long lasting batter, great SOT, no lag etc while checking the radio performance. Everything is fine once again except the latter. I really don't want to send my G3 to service and risk the current setup & performance and that is why I wonder if I should try some particular ROM or any other available solution.
Any suggestion for a ROM with better signal strength?
Hi,
I'm on 3.2.4 OOS, rooted, AT&T, xposed, gravity box.
I continue to be disappointed by ongoing issues with wifi strength indoors, gps lock, and maintaining LTE. Inside buildings I'm constantly dropping to H+ when other people maintain LTE on their devices.
My Bluetooth "skips" often in my car streaming on-board music or Spotify.
I've read it may be hardware, may be software. Some of us have issues, some do not.
I tried CM13 and it ate my battery. Others have written it makes no difference, yet some say it has helped them.
What might be some solutions I can try before asking for a new device from One Plus?
Should I drop back to 3.2.2? I had issues then, too, but I wasn't paying enough attention to how bad they were.
Will a custom kernel like elemental make any difference?
I've read about custom radios but don't see any for the OP3.
I'm going to try going without a case to see if they makes a difference but I hate that solution.

custom rom or kernel will not help in radio strength because modem files are independent of them.
Taking the case off seemed to help but when I put the phone in my pocket, it drops LTE and doesn't automatically get it back. Is this something with doze?
Is this just bad design?
Can I modify the modem files?
