Hi Guys !! I currently own an optimus one running on stock froyo 2.2.2 (unrooted). Quite a few times (including today) I noticed that the icon showing signal strength in the notification bar blinking. Whenever I return from my college to home via bus..I find the signal strngth changed to null. At college signal strength would be like( 3 out of 4 bars) but at home it stays at full strength. But the day I go to college and return home ..on the way i find my signal strength on the top most notification changing to null for 2 seconds & then returning to full..again going back to its previous state & returns full & again....(fluctuation takes place aft 2 seconds each). Even after I return home where signal strength is supposedly full...the problem does not vanish unless & until I restart the phone. after restarting it doesn't fluctuate anymore. Why does this happen & how to get rid of this ? Pls note- I am on Airtel 2G network with network mode- GSM only. As most Indian users know airtel network is superb !! & I too stay in the capital city of my state so there's no chance of poor signal. i think it's a hardware issue. what u guys say ?
1 more query- can someone provide me the download link to android 2.2 firmware for indian optimus one. I found all the download links to have got expired except for 2.2.2 (v10d). main reason to downgrade-to be able to run ndrive on my phone. pls note that ndrive doesn't work on other optimus one's which come with android 2.2.2 preinstalled.
I wonder....
Airtel's signals are very strong even in the remote areas...
i dont think your hardware causes you this problem it could be your sim card
try changing your sim card and if necessary change your number as you say you wanna be on airtel so buy an another airtel sim and try your luck
or else borrow a airtel sim from your friend and check if its working for you...
If not switch on to vodafone as i did
I was also encountering some problems like gps can locate me.
So i switched.
Vodafone is also good if u try.
sure. thanx 4 replying

got this phone for almost a week. great phone except my signal strength over my cell network is very weak. i kept on getting a drop call. need help over this problem. any solutions???? thanks guys
Did you have this problem with your provider previously on your old phone in the same area?
Two options i can think of...
1) Contact your provider
2) Upgrade your radio
tested 3 cell provider but have the same problem. i think ill try to upgrade my my radio firmware. where can i download an asean version radio firmware?? thanks 4 d reply sir cymru.
i notice that my phone have problem of losing connections (phone signal) quite often which causes the phone cant make or receive call. i usually go outstations and everytime when i travel i have this problem. i thought it was the problem from the android 1.6 but after updating to android 2.1 through the SE website the problem is still there. recently i end up with the conclusion that my phone have problem with GSM signal, whenever i go to outstation where there is no 3g/WCDMA in the area but suppose to have the GSM signal i got this problem. please bear in mind that i have change and tried the setting for WCDMA ONLY,GSM ONLY & WCDMA/GSM PREFERED but the problem still persist, and please bear in mind i have tested with my other phone and it works fine at those places. please advise if this is the problem of the phone itself or just the setting of my phone. Tq
Exactly same case here,losing signal without no reason.Only one time I saw all 4 bars.Other phones works just fine.OS updated to 2.1,problem remains same,and that also affects to battery duration.

You need to ask the network if they are having problems .
Have you checked /remade your network settings ??
Could be a rom problem a modem problem a sim card problem or even a CSC problem with wrong settings .
Check settings clean sim card that does not help put your phone back to a warranty state flash stock rom and clear rom counter . Test if faulty take to a service centre .

Im on 3 also i have had a few times the same problem mate, lets say maybe 4 or 5 times, it usually happens if i lose my internet connection it still shows me having signal but cant make a call or sms. i got no answer from 3 either
Check the status screen. I get this and when it happens where it should say T-Mobile it says Emergency Calls Only. I figured my SIM card was at fault so wedged some paper behind it to hold it in place and the problem has almost completely stopped.

Are you guys running an I-9100T from 3? All modems from any rom you install won't work with the T. You'll need your stock KF4 modem.

I had a similar problem. Read more about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225849
tried going back to kf4 still no luck its only in certain places in me house where it does it everywhere else i have 1 or 2 or none at all bars of signal
3 customer service rang me up told them i wanted cancel the contract bcus of it. they knocked the contract price down from £30 to £25.75 for the text 500 plan with them. bit annoyed that i can only get signal in certain places of me house but cant argue on the price as well as gettin the phone for free
because 3 dont have a 2g network in the UK so if you dont have 3g coverage it will show a network signal but you cant make calls or sms
I'm having the same problem but with o2. I lose signal regularly at home as I live on the perimeter, but when I get signal bars back againwhen i go into town, it tells me that the network is unavailable. I have to switch off and on again to re register and then it works fine again until the next time the signal is dropped... It's annoying in the morning because i can wake up and see full signal on the phone all morning, but people are trying to contact me and not getting through because in reality, the network is not connected! I'm sure o2 have a 2g network, so I would presume it's a phone issue...
Hi all,
I live in France using SFR network and I get the same issue here using KI3 but I had the same problem with KH3.
the behavior on the phone is network seems to be good everytime/everywhere but sometimes people who try to reach me go directly to my voicemail and I receive sms with some delays.
When network works again, I mean I don't see it but I know it because I receive a couple of sms at the same time and a call from my voicemail
it means that my phone seems to be connected to the gsm network but is not, It loose the gsm network...
If you can give me your experience.
thx
I've got the same issue. (tacticman), I'm also on SFR network, i had this since KH3, never before. Now i'm on KI3, it's still here.
I always use CF-Root kernel, i tried to wipe, restore old backups, it does not change anything. I also tried GS II repair tools, nothing too...
The only thing I found to solve (temporarly) the problem, switch to offline mode (mode Hors ligne in FR) and then disable it.
But the problem occurs very often, it's very disturbing.
My IMEI number is still here.
Hi all.
ive been floating around the forums for some time as an unregistered user but i now have to resort to posting for help.
fist of all heres my details
Android version 4.0.3
Baseband 19100XXLPQ
Kernel 19100XXLPQ
Build IML74k.XXLPQ
ok so first of all id like to know if it matters that the serial on the phone does not match that on the sticker behind the battery although the IMEI number does,from what ive read on the forums this may be because i flashed a non official ROM?
when i originally flashed to ICS the signal was poor but i still used the phone and now i have no signal at all at home,
if i try and dial a number i either get `mobile network not available or not registered with network.
ive flashed the phone with so many roms,kernels and modems now that im in a complete mess with what ive actually done.
i checked with my provider `3 UK` if the phone was/is blacklisted but its not,ive had the sim replaced with a new one and also tried another 3 payg sim.
im not normally one to give up but i admit im getting close to it.
in hind sight i wish id taken a full back up whilst on gingerbread or even never upgraded to ICS in the first place ..ah well
so my thanks in advance if someone can help me and apologies in advance also if ive missed any information out.
cheers
theredi
just to add to this,
i just stood outside and scanned for networks,the 3 network appeared but when i select it it says:
your sim card does not allow a connection to this network
i spoke to 3 just incase its their end but they insist its nothing to do with their sim and is my phone thats the problem.
this is a sim only contract by the way the phone did not come from 3.
so u hav no signal??
imei may got reseted..
flash stock rom an c....
jus my sugettion wen in xda don float get registered
i have no signal or at best its extremely poor,just enough to scan for a network.
what do you mean imei may have been reset? the imei is the same as it was originally.
and ive flashed lots of stock roms and had no luck as of yet.
just tried android 2.3.5
Baseband 19100XXKI4
Kernel 19100XXKI4
Build gingernuts XXKI$
and its exactly the same :S

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .

I meant have you entered the networks settings as supplied by 3 or are you hoping its auto set up after multiple flashing you may have wrong CSC .
jje
so is ur prblm solved did u enter settings as jje said,,,,if ur phone is working fine now,then post
no my problem is not solved however i have some updates after driving around the area (going to the pub)
ive not changed any network setting as i see nothing there to change.
i managed to get a few signal bars and searched for available networks,3 was ther,when i selected it i got this message:
unable to change networks while data service is in use.stop using current data service and select another available network?
i said ` ok`
...registering on 3...
...registered on 3 network.
after this i was able to make a call.
i noted some info at this point incase it has any relevance :
Signal bars: 2
signal strength -109 dbm 2 asu
Mobile network type:9
service state: in service
network:3
phone number : unknown
this happened in one spot on a 1 mile journey.
and now im back at home the signal is back to nothing.
the 3 signal in this area is normally pretty good so something isnt right
the info now is:
Signal bars 0 - 1
signal strength -111 1 asu
Mobile network type: unknown:0
network: unknown
service state: out of service
mobile number:unknown
ive always had a good signal at home and for all of the journey i just made but now it seems to only pick up in a very limited spot.
ive not entered any network settings at all,like i said theres not much i can see that needs changing?
thanks for your input guys its really appreciated.
I don't know if its your issue,but I had several phones on 3 which all had awful signal strength- I just changed to a different network.

3 isnt the problem here,everything was fine until i started fixing things that arent broke, and im old enough to know better :S
ive been with 3 for as long as i can remember with lots of different phones and never had any signal problems where i live up until now.
still unsolved
Weird. I have exactly the same problem. except Im on irish network meteor. same symptoms. ben on ics for ages, flashed a cm9 rom. nothing unusual,bam. no signal or very little.
try flashing NEKF2 or NELP3 modem
I have issues with 3 UK too, mainly because I like having the option to switch back to 2G to 3G to H, but 3 doesn't like the idea of GPRS so that's out the equation Plus, the network is pretty piss poor. I'm looking for a better modem, in all hope.
Baseband: XXLPW. Running ICS 4.0.3
Hi to all.
I put Cofface's cyano into my Redmi 3 a week ago and it worked fine except for the network signal that seemed to me to be weaker than on stable or dev miui rom. Yesterday I don't know what i did, i just switched the network type from the services menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to see the signal strenght of 2g/3g/4g and after doing that, the phone stopped to take signal with my SIM in any network type. So i switched back through MiFlash (and selected flash all option), to the Dev and also to the stable rom, but now I just have 4G working.
I tried to put again CM and i get no signal in every network type, even trying to restore a nandroid backup that i made when the phone worked. I also tried to flash through fastboot the NON-HSLO.bin took from developer rom, but nothing changed. What could it be? Where I live the 4G is not everywhere so most of the time I'll be without signal and it would be really frustrating.
I tried my sim in a Samsung phone and it takes both 2g/3g (the phone doesn't have 4g) , but trying another sim in my phone (of the same carrier) gives me the same result of above : only 4g . While on CM that sim could connect (only 4g) but mine not.
Please help me! :crying:
sorry if i didn't explain myself well, but I'm not english
EDIT: with the 4G i can only surf on the net but i can't make or receive phone calls. I'm giving up on this phone
EDIT2: following some guides I erased modemst1 and modemst2 but now I'm unable to get IMEI and I have unknown baseband
I have the same problem as you (almost)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/help/cellular-network-redmi-3-t3370459
I also have poor reception and can't make any call or receive them on any band 2g/3g/4g and i have this problem since I received the phone.
Did you fix your problem??
I have the same problem of very bad cellular signals.
with the same carrier, when other phones 2 samsung, 1 chinese (cheap unbranded), one very old nokia all have good reception, xiaomi redmi 3 pro is inaccessible from other phones.
today I'll try to install some signal booster apps from thestreet.com/story/11733410/1/7-apps-that-improve-smartphone-reception.html hopping for the best.
if anyone find any solution please update
