[Q] CM7 - does it help signal reliability?

---

First thing's first - I can honestly say I love this phone. I've had it for almost 2 months now and have never had a complaint... Sure, the signal doesn't always look good on the bars, but I've yet to drop a call and reception has always been good .... I thought...

Two days ago I noticed that under the battery consumption it showed that I was without signal 92% of the day while in the office. I had never been told that anyone was unable to get me on the cell until I asked around after that. Slews of people said they call me but it always rolls to voicemail.

I did at least 2 dozen test calls yesterday and what I'd say that it was alarming at best when only two of those calls actually rang through.

When I got home I watched the signal meter closely and reset the % of time without signal by fully charging the battery. At home I have 3 bars consistently. Come 9PM, which was about 3 hours off the charger, I was without signal 58% of the time. Again, I asked around to my usual callers - four people had tried to call me and all went to voicemail. I severely questioned that, until I called my voicemail and each of them had left messages - and I had not received a voicemail waiting indicator.

SO...

All of that having been said - is it any better with CM7 ? The phone is rooted and ready to play, but I am hesitant to install a pre-beta build on the phone when I depend on it for work.

Thanks so much for any feedback!

If you want a better phone, install b_randon14's mod. I wouldn't recommend cyanogenmod quite yet.

I have the same problem. My girlfriend tried to call me when she was getting harassed by 3 drunk college students. Never rang. From the times I have checked my battery usage, it never said anything about not having a signal. Would b_randon's MOD fix this issue?

Edit: I take it back, just took a look and it said 86%

Well never mind my suggestion, looks like the mod was pulled. Data with the phone has never been perfect exactly, but that mod was theoretically meant to improve on those things. You'll probably have to ask b_randon14 himself whether it'll be re-uploaded in full or in part...

Don't get me wrong - I'm loving this phone, but if I can't figure out a way to get better than what I am , I'll have to look at alternative options.

Great to see ya! If I can get things rolling right, I'll be staying with Virgin - can't beat the price and it felt great to give the finger to T-Mobile!

Any plans on any awesome rom cooking like you did on the Vibrant? :D

Have you guys checked out GrooveIP. It fully integrates with GV and when I am at work and home I switch it to WiFi and never miss a call.

Not really an option for me... When I'm at work, our wireless network here requires EAP-FAST, which is not available for Android. I've got a way to connect in, ONLY if I bring in my Win7 laptop with me, and that's using an app called Connectify that turns my laptop into a WiFi router, then again, I'm a slave to the network nazis here in the office. They have the ports here locked down - HARD.
