View Full Version : Signal Reception Question

I have noticed in the past few weeks that my signal reception has gotten worse. Places where I usually get 3G and HSPDA, now I only get Edge. It's seldom I get 3G anymore anywhere.

I am currently using K's ROM v1.30b. I tried a bunch of different radios as well, but no affect.

I am wondering is there something that can cause the signal to drop like that? Is it ROM dependent?

BTW, I'm on at&t in the midwest.

No one knows what can cause this?

Unless you have handled your device badly then it sounds like a transmitter issue. What radio version are you using? Also go into: start>system>phone>band

tell us what settings are selected.

The reception and etc....is attributed to the radio stack version, nothing else.

Thank you for your reply. I've used the following radios:

1.47, 1.48, 1.50, 1.54 all with approximately the same results. Meaning mostly Edge network everywhere and very very rarely 3G. Whereas it was 3G mostly before.

My settings are :

Select your network type: GSM (Should this be Auto?)

Select your GSM/UTMS band: Auto

Dont forget that sometimes the problem can be on AT&T's end...

The tower by my work has occasionally gone screwey for a day and all I can get is EDGE, or sometimes 3G with only 1 or 2 bars before switching to another tower on EDGE (normally full bars).

It's happened 4 times in the last year, each lasting only one day.

Go to a friends house or somewhere else and see if 3G comes back. If so then it might just be your local tower, esp. since you have tried so many radios without a difference.


EDIT: just read the above post..

Network type MUST be Auto or WCMDA for 3G to function!!

Your troubles as shown in the post above this one....your mode is set to GSM....hence why your device will not work on UMTS/3G unless the mode is set to WCDMA or auto.
