Not showing H+/4G?? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

k, so tried searching first and nothing showed up.. so figured would ask here..MB
I installed Alien v4. I recently got to thinking after I just got father his Infuse and put new rom on his. We both had H+ showing up as stock.. after I installed his rom his shows 4G which I am sure is still just the H+ and the rom maker set it to show 4G when using + instead of just H.. now on my rom, mine constantly just shows H and 3G if it goes to that mode.. anyone know if Alien v4 "cant" do the hspda+ or is there a way to tell that my H is actually doing the H+? like does the color of the bars matter? i noticed that someitmes the bars are white and sometimes green.. wondering if green is + or just means data is coming through?
phone is running:
system vers-4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US
Baseband- N_-1.77.30P
Kernel- 26.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 [email protected] #2
let me know if any info i didn't put that you might need..
Appreciate it and sorry if somewhat noobish question.. i just wanted to make sure that ATT didn't F up my data plan like they did my fathers.. cause if im not getting the data rate i am supposed to be, gonna give them a call

That is part of the alien ROM. I had the same thing happen to me. But when I flashed over a new stockish ROM, the the H+ came back. So I am pretty sure ATT didn't F up your data plan.

4g/LTE issues

So my phone will not connect to 4G at all anymore. I have wiped and flashed Virus rom, Bloatless rom, Mik Rom, etc, and it may show the 4G lte icon, and then kicks off and goes to 3G. Also if I tell it to go to LTE only, it won't even show an icon at all.
I might be exchanging my phone out tomorrow anyway for some nasty backlight bleeding mine is doing, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas. At first I thought it was because I removed some stuff I shouldn't have, but that went out the door the moment I wiped and flashed a new rom.
*EDIT* guess I should go ahead and point out that when it does "pretend" to connecto to 4G I have 3 bars, and have had 3 bars in this location since I got the phone saturday. So it isn't a signal issue.
Are you in a stable 4g area? I flashed MikRom tonight, instant 4g, plus, download speeds were in the 12-14mb range, which is as good, if not better than stock rom.

Yeah I just corrected my post. I have seen speeds near 30 down in this location, and usually have 3 bars. At worst I was pulling 10-12 down. This just started happening today, but I am not sure when. I didn't notice the issue until I flashed the AOSP rom. But I also flashed the Gingerbread rom where nothing really works that was in the dev section.

[Q] Horrible signal

I get 1 to 3 bars of signal in my house (kinda in the country) with my T-Mobile prepaid SIM in an Optimus T... but with this Vibrant, I barely get a signal -- a phone call is nearly impossible. I have tried two different ROMs plus stock and all seem to have this problem... Is this phone (the Vibrant as a whole) that bad, or is my phone possibly bad... any fixes?
Thanks much, Aaron
Any idea? I can sit on my couch and talk/hear just fine on my Optimus T and on my Sprint BB Tour w/ the T-Mobile SIM card in it... 1, 2, 3 bars...
This Vibrant mostly shows no signal.... once and awhile it will show a bar or two but calls rarely go through and when they do the reception is horrible. Do I have a setting issue? Could this phone be defective? I am really at a loss here... I am about to put it on Ebay as I am lost...
Thanks for any advice..
Check out the super build prop tweaks in the dev section. Helps with signal quite a bit.

Hello,
If you have your phones rooted and have cwm (clockwork recovery) or know how to use odin, then I would recommend trying different modems and see which one works best in your area. You can download them here. Let us know if you have any questions.

I rooted it... tried a few different ROMs... and around 3 or 4 modems... none mattered... I will look into the build prop from the previous post though...
nope...
I added the data mods to the build.prop on yet another custom ROM (I had to reroot, etc as I had returned it back to stock after giving up) and it is showing more bars -- but still can't make a call from my couch -- which I can do perfectly well on my Optimus T.... Unless I get another idea on here, I am going to Ebay this Vibrant (I got it for a good price on Craigslist) -- and probably try a Sensation off of craigslist (anyone know if their reception is better?)...
Thanks much everyone!!
I've noticed something similar, just recently with my vibrant around my house I jump between 0 bar (usually around -109 dbm and 1 asu) to full bars (-89 dbm and 9 asu). I've grabbed my wifes MT4G and compared while I have zero bars she will have full bars (usually around -9 dbm and 11 asu). Not sure what's going on but flashed a couple of roms, tired all the modems, and played with build.prob. I guess there are just some spots that are Vibrant dead zones.

dont know what causes it but i have four vibrants, mine wifes and two kids. they are all running current cm7 nightlies, and all perform pretty much the same, but two of them most of the time have edge and two have h quite often, thinking something went a-rye in the factory lol. as far as signal goes ive noticed that even when my wifes has full bars and sometimes mine may have 1 to none, they still seem to make calls the same. strange...sorry best i can do with my limited knowledge, i wish i knew half the stuff these devs know. id probably develop the best rom and also b divorced. good luck
Okay, so I went out and bought a Sensation from Craigslist today and it has the same signal issues... My Optimus T and my Sprint Tour (using GSM) have great signal in my house -- but this Vibrant and Sensation get little or no reception..... I am confused.
The Vibrant has poor wifi with my weak Belkin router (and it is a spendy one too, very frustrating) -- but the Sensation has nice wifi, so I guess I will keep it and use wifi calling cause I love the Sensation -- and I will resell the Vibrant.
Thanks for all the advice ya'll gave me -- or any more that you send my way
/Now to get to rootin' my Sensation, as I am sure I will do soon enough lol...

atrix 4g in mexico....

so i have an atrix 4g and im currently living in mexico, its obviously rooted but does anyone know if i need to change the radio or rom to get 3g to work here because that seems to not be working, not sure if they have a different frequency down here but I will see the 3g icon come on for a second and go away, thanks!
so it has the 3g icon but when i go to phone settings under gsm disconnects it says data state: DcInactiveState Im pretty sure mexico and this phone are compatible for 3g, thanks
Wrong place to post q&a is what you want and then you don't have to worry about getting harassed.

have you checked the APNs?
APN: itelcel.internet.com
Username webgprs
pssword webgprs2002
And why was this posted in the Development section??? *facepalm* ~reported~
OP should know better with over 120 posts........ 'nuff said.
score87 so i went ahead and put that apn that you stated and it should be selected but still no internet i changed the rom to a stock one with some mods phone is still rooted and i updated the radio and at the top it has an H+ icon but nothing is working on the internet yet, any help would be appreciated
btw im not used to the gsm phones I was a part of the EVO group for a while so might need a little more help, thanks

CM7 data issue

Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the place to post this, I don't have the post count yet to ask in the CM7 thread in the development section.
Anywho, ever since I flashed CM7 on my phone, I haven't been able to get a good HSPA+ connection. It keeps wavering from H+ to 3G. And if I do get a connection to H+, it is dead slow (did speakeasy speed test and got .4 down .1 up).
I also did the ATT data fix, but that seems to not work either.
Any help to my problem?
Mine seems to jump between 3G & H but I never thought to blame it on the ROM. Speeds are solid on both so didn't see it as an issue. Also I flashed CM7 right when I pulled it out of the box so don't know if it did that on stock or not.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
The only reason why I think it may have something to do with CM7 is because before I was unrooted stock rom, and I had consistent H+ signal, with 6-7 down 2 up. Ever since I flashed, it has been very sluggish. Even my old Desire had consistent H+ signal in the areas tested. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it's a setting that I need to tweak or turn on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Roaming Question

I clean flashed CloudyG3 1.2 this weekend. Didn't have any issues at all and I enjoy the ROM.
Came into work (about 15 minutes from my house that has 4G) and I get an error stating that roaming data is turned off and that I need to turn it on, but costly data rates may apply.
When I turn it on, it goes to 3G, with the "R" symbol, presumably for roaming.
In the past, I would typically swap back and forth from 3G to 4G, depending on where I'm at while working.
Is this a ROM issue? Modem issue? Is this just something to not even worry about? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Cloudy mentions this, he says it's really not roaming and roaming in US is free anyway

VS985 users should stop reporting the roaming issue, it's a known issue when using international base. And I dont know why its so much a trouble for u guys bc you just need to tick Data Roaming enable, it's not really roaming. Btw VZW does give you free roaming in US anyway. Changing the build.prop just causing more issue.
If you guys cant live with that, so please ignore this ROM.
