3G issues

[scarfman4]

If this is a repeat thread, I apologize but I'm not having any luck finding this specific issue.

Since using EB01 I've noticed my signal bars going frequently from 2-3 bars down to 1-0 bars, yet checking the signal strength in the About Phone>Status section it is consistently in the -80s, which is relatively good signal.

After a while I started noticing that if my 3G icon was showing up and/or down activity, it would show only 1 or 0 bars, yet when it switched to "D" (meaning dormant), it would shoot back up to 2-3 bars, until data started flowing again then it would go back to 0-1 bars.

As I started troubleshooting this, I was using the Speedtest.net app to check my download speeds. When data was showing that low, it would either time out or would give very low speeds (in the 100k's both up & down). Sometimes it would go up to the 200-300k's.

Now here's what I don't understand: if I turn off my data connection, then turn it back on, my data connection goes back up to 2-3 bars again, and download tests go back to the 600k-1mbps speeds again. So it's like it's losing data reception until a fresh connection is made.

I've tried both some of the Superclean ROMs including the latest 2.8. I've been using the EB01 voodoo kernel. I also recall when I was running the EA28 OTA update before rooting that it was happening as well. Right now I'm back to the stock debloated deodexed ROM with the same voodoo kernel and switched to the DL09 baseband radio and had this happen.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone recommend a certain ROM/kernel/baseband combination to see if it will help?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You know, I never really paid it too much mind, but I MIGHT have a similar situation. Though, I don't have to reset the connection, it just up and down drastically a lot. I will look into this myself, see if I can find anything to help you.

Yup. I had this problem too. I had a phone that initially came with DH rom. After I flashed EB01 modem and rom, I was missing 3G for 30 seconds after I wake the phone up. Practically the same symptoms: bad battery life, low up/down 3G speeds (I had ~100Kb/s max). I tried to flash different modems DI, DJ, DL, EB, tried different non-voodoo kernels, different roms, nothing helped. Even ODIN back to full stock DI01 did not solve the problem.

Solved with getting a replacement phone. After I got a replacement with EA28, I got double battery life and great up/down speeds. So right now I am wondering: should I risk my phone to flash leaked EB01 again?
