i have noticed that in the fringe area in vermont where i am, my kid's nokia 3226 gets 4 bars while my sx56 (w2k3) can't raise a steady signal. i have managed to receive one sms while i am here and when i noticed it, my signal indicator showed "searching". is the radio rom in w2k3 really the best?

My Hermes AT&T 8525 has problem that phone signal is too low about 1-2 bar.
Sometimes 'No service'. It's like weak and swing signal. So I miss important calls.
Which radio rom version can do the best for phone signal? I've tried all version
the best radio rom is 1.46. The best can do only 1-2 bar but still swing signal.
Can anyone modify radio rom to amplify phone signal for me? (Lower battery is not problem.) Thank you

You can't amplify a radio, otherwise it would have been done loooong ago.
Try 1.48. Its an AT&T build.
They can adjust the power of the transceiver but its a balance between signal strength and battery life. The same can be done with the WIFI signal strength.
On another note there is a new radio stack 1.54 thats just been released and you should be able to find link to it here. A number of people reporting better signal levels with this new one...
Theres also the option to plug in a external GSM antenna into the back of the phone this would likely increase your signal strength.
Thanks Starfury,
How can we adjust it please give more detail or web link to do?
mcorrie1121, I have try all version of radio roms, even 1.54.
The best is 1.46 but signal is still swing to no service.
Anyone can help me through this problem??
Can any expert can do this? Please participate for this issue. All Guru
I have O2 Atom life
Rom WM6.0 CE OS 5.2.1616(Build 18120.0.4.0)
I have the a problem with the phone carrier 3G signal, mainly it stood at 2 bars the most is full bar but just for a little while, i's a problem for video calls,
I live in malaysia using Celcom, when i switch the sim to my nokia hp the bar is always full, so my theory is, it's in the o2 software.
can anyone help me about this , i've read someting about a radio upgrade it makes the signal stronger. please help
Im using the same ROM and same network as yours. No such problem. Maybe your area's 3G coverage is not strong enough.
(Cant compare to other mobile phone since the PPC phone's signal is abit weak than other device)

okey i see thanks man, this is something new to me so the ppc phone signal is weaker than hp signal thank u verry much.
I'm having the same problem as you but even when it shows a weak signal, the reception is still good. But that depends on the location I'm currently at.
Regarding PPC phone signal is weaker, that is not true. My O2 Xda II mini shows a full bar while my O2 Xda Atom Life shows only 2 bars, side by side.

Hi!
I received my HTC Hero on thursday. I have some trouble getting a stable 3G / HSPA connection with my local providers over here in Germany (tested with E-Plus and O2). It falls back to EDGE or even GPRS quite often although my old Nokia E51 has a strong stable signal (all 6 of 6 bars for signal quality).
I also had trouble connecting to an open unsecured WLAN.
Is anyone else experiencing such problems (hopefully not)? If so, I just got a defective unit...
Any hints appreciated. Did find anything via Google yet. Probably because it has just been released.
Best regards, cos
Yes I've been having problems too. I have noticed a weaker reception I most areas - signal strength drops from 3 out of 4 to 1 out of 4 for no apparent reason - in weak signal areas I lose signal completely - wifi cuts in and out at home.
I'd also appreciate hints - HTC asked me to do a system reset which I'm reluctant to do becuase I don't believe it will solve anything.
Using SimFree HTC Hero on the Orange Network(UK). (I've tried 2 & 3G - I've tried O2 simcard)
**UPDATE**
Did a system reset - no difference
Sent phone to seller who compared it with other units- same signal strength
Took it to an Orange Shop where they had a signal booster which should have given me full signal - I got 3 bars.
Hopeful for a software update
Finally got my Mozart from Orange UK yesterday. Great phone and Windows seems serious this time
although its less than 24 hrs I'm using this phone but I'm not impressed by the signal reception. I watched it at my flat, at work, while driving, alongside road; but I'm not getting the signal bars what I used to receive on my Desire. Any body else facing the same experience?
Yeah I experience the same with my Orange France Mozart, I have less signal bars particularly in 3G/3G+. But I would say that it's only due to the algorithm used to evaluate the signal because on my other phone I've a full signal at the same place.
hmm, well for areas where full signal strengh availalbe then you lose 1-2 bars on mozart, its ok. However, where there are only 1-2 bars availalbe and mozart showing none and you cannot make a call, its a problem.
As far as I am concern Orange UK reception sucks. Compared to the HD2, the Mozart appears to have better reception even on such a bad network. And no for some reason the device won't roam to t-mobile.
Agreed, that's the other observation taht it doesn't pick T-Mobile signal and no "R" appears on the phone.
I'm having signal issues with my Mozart as well. I had no issues with call dropping on my previous phone.
Have you checked the settings
Can't say I have had any problems roaming on on t-mobile/orange.
Does it help if you go to settings..mobile network and changed data roaming to 'roam'?
I also presume you have opted in to using t-mobile on the Orange website (if that is not a dumb question).
Dam0c
Compared to my old Touch Diamond the T-Mobile Mozart I'm playing with has weaker reception but higher battery drain ...
data roam set to no roam is for data connection. The Orange/T-Mobile sharing is only for voice and sms I believe.
I did notice that phone does pick up Orange/T-Mobile signal but without any visual sign on the status bar, you need to see it setting area.
But the signal reception is really bad, with call droppings as well.
I switched from t-mobile UK to orange UK just to get the mozart early, so far the only disappointment is the signal, I assumed that was orange. Before on 3G i was clocking a good 2MB/s with t-mobile, now my very best speed i can get is about 50KB/s, I'm hoping this is a phone issue that will be sorted once updates are released...
The Orange/T-Mobile sharing does have data roaming but it's GPRS only. I did have roaming working when I set it up, but it seems to have stopped working again now.
One thing to remember with the displayed signal strength is just that, displayed. 3 bars on WP7 device could be 4/5 on another simply because they display signal levels differently.
Received sms from Orange today:
" As you've cahnged your handset, the experience of picking up T-Mobile signal might be different. For answers on any question go to orange.co.uk/share"
I've not had any signal issues at all I reside in a very remote area...
The signal so far is much better the the iphone which i have, which always drops calls...
Got the text message from orange last week as well. I seem to be covered by T-Mobile in areas that Orange fails. Orange reception is pathetic in central London. worse of all, during peak hours i can get full signal but calls to my number are never routed to my device and I can't make phone calls due to poor availability.
Anyway T-Mobile 3G appears to be faster than Orange
Also worth to mention that HTC has released new ROM updates with a new radio stack and SPL (and possibly drivers) but Orange UK havent released anything yet.
its been almost a week with Mozart and I'm quite sure now that it's actually Orange signals. But let's wait when Orange sends the updates.
Hi, everyone.
Could someone help me with the signal strength issue I'm having with one of my phones.
I currently have two I605.
One (white) is rooted with unlocked bootloader with latest CM11
The other (Grey) is rooted with locked bootloader on stock MJ9. (4.3)
I'm using both on Lycamobile on Tmobile network.
The white one is working well with the Lycamobile.
The signal strength is -69 dBm with 22 asu on HSADPA.
I see the network as Lycamobile.
However, my grey phone's signal strength is bad.
It's -90 dBM with 11 asu on HSPA.
THe network is listed as T-mobile on this phone.
The APN settings are exactly same.
The phones are next to each other in the same house.
I have never had problem with the WHITE one any where,
but the GREY one won't connect to the network intermittently
because of weak signal strength outside. I'm not talking about the data.
The phone simply doesn't call or receive calls.
I'm wondering if there's a setting that I should be touching additionally
to unleash or unlock more bands in this GREY phone.
I'd appreciate any insight.
Thanks.

Aosp roms more accurately read the signal strength. The tw rom is reading lower but it just not as accurate at displaying the correct signal strength. It is strictly visual though. This is perfectly normal. Neither phone has to something wrong with it.

Hey, Thanks for the reply.
I'm not talking about the signal antenna icon.
I know that one is strictly for visual. Some shows Full Bar even when it's -100 while some shows 2 bars for the same condition.
Are you saying that even the signal strength reading in dBm is strictly visual as well?
Because I used various signal strength apps and they all show poor strengths in the "poor" note 2.
And I'm curious why there's a discrepancy of showing HSPA vs HSDPA, and Tmobile vs Lycamobile
when I'm using same phone, same cell tower, same service.

Yes it's visual in there as well. Aosp is supposed to read more accurately.I just heard time and time again not to focus so much on those numbers as tw has just as good of signal strength as aosp it just doesn't look like it visually.
