Hi all,
I'm getting very low signal in my phone, only one or two bars with passion v13 and now with ICS euphoria even when being next to the window.
I get excellent signal in a HTC G2.
Does anyone have a similar problem?

Flash a new modem. Scrizz has a bunch especially for ICS.
I forgot to mention that I have already tried several modems: ka7, ka6, jksomething, but nothing changes.
Try a different city or a different phone... or a different cell company

I'm right around Chicago it is an ICS issue. My gf has miui and kb5 with 3 bars of H. I have currently 1 bar 3g same setup on euphoria.

You could always try the CM9 alpha or icssgs, see if there is any difference
If changing modems makes no difference, then it must be the rom.

Unfortunately its all of them. The only fix I have found is getting off ICS. Once the newest glitch kernel is back ported for cm7/miui.us I won't be able to careless lol.
P.S. this reply would not be possible on ICS, I am at work right now.

Interesting. I should have mentioned kernels (many to choose from), but it sounds like you might have tried a few of them also. Good luck.
You might want to discuss it in one of the ICS rom threads, or the modem thread:

Every ICS I experience this on until Docs V5. My phone is useable at work again on ICS. It's worth a shot if low signal is what is holding you back from 4.0.

I am also in Chicago running Euphoria no issues with signal strength. I also work for T-Mobile and can tell you a bad SIM card is the most common reason for signal issues ;-)

If someone requests a new SIM card from T-Mobile, do they get to keep the same phone number? Also, I've had my Samsung Vibrant's battery since around Oct 2010. How much longer would you think this battery will be good 'til?

Everyone keeps stating the vibrant has issues with battery on gingerbread...... if this is a driver issue, can't these be borrowed from a phone with the same/similar hardware but is on gingerbread? And why doesn't Samsung at least release the nessary drivers so the phone can be supported seeing as they don't seem to be willing to put gingerbread out for it......
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This has been answered a million times dude. First we dont even have a leak or anything for the vibrant, were using the 4g's leak which is different codes, different radio's etc. Blame T-Mobile for dropping support on this phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My questions haven't been answered.... why can't we get the proper drivers from other phones that use the same chips?
There are numerous other galaxy s phones..... where all the same chips (other than the radio )will be the same! GPS, CPU, graphics etc. Are the same...... so why can't these items be ripped out of other Roms to make the vibrant 2.3 roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Because no other phone is using the same driver/firmware combo. The closest things we have are the captivate and i9000 which both use different radios. Same is true of the vibrant 4g.

The captivate is very close to ours.. the issues ive seen with gingerbread seems to be more than the smal.hardware differences of radios and such, so if there is a more clear answer what the big problems really are, im curious.
since they just leaked the 2.3.4 for captivate I was hoping we would have a better Ginger coming.. or at least should be a good sign that ours(leaked Ginger) can't be far behind right?

I'm not sure what exact answer you're looking for but the differences don't end at the radio.
The accelerometer on the captivate is turned 90° which would need to be fixed in the kernel.
The radio differences render the GPS useless without the same hack that we presently have.
The button layout is slightly different though an easy fix.
Using a captivate firmware is no different than using the i9000 firmware. Just because the phones look alike doesn't mean a thing. Once you start looking beyond the outer physical appearance you'll understand that the Vibrant is rather unique. Of course there are work arounds and hacks but nothing that we aren't presently doing. Without someone stepping up on a regular basis and compiling kernels that implement certain fixes or without a leak of our own nothing changes.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I guess I meant the problems the current roms have for many people. GPS is a given, never could get it working properly, but instability and atrocious battery life would make me think we were using a ported rom from a totally different phone.
I guess the thing I'm wondering, if there's been 2 Ginger leaks for captivate, then a vibrant source must be in the works and can't be far behind right?
It is amazing that you devs have managed to overcome all of the issues that you have, something the OP really needs to realize.. most thought it unlikely or impossible that ginger would be working as well as it is..

Tested on AOKP and CM9 RC5. 6-7mbps down 2mbps up.
Not tested on samsung UCLE2 leak but it should work since its based off the UCLE2 modem.

im getting good speeds (3-5d 1-2u) with jeets new ics blaze modem 5/28
Ill try yours 5/29 and report later.
I was using one of the GSII radios for ICS before on OnlyOne and CM9 with poor results. I was frustrated with constant notifications of data service loss and an inability to pick up EDGE/3G/HSPA+ after leaving an area with no reception. That issue could only be fixed with a restart. Additionally, speed tests were irrelevant due to ridiculous latency issues, but I never got anything above 1-2mbps.
I flashed your radio this morning and could not be happier. My downtown San Francisco speed tests were seeing 80-150ms latency with 8mbps down and 1.5mbps up. Thank you for saving my Note!

Hi everyone
Has anyone seen any difference between the new xxlq5 modem against lps?? I seem to get slow speed but more bars.
Wondering if anyone else tested or saw any major difference. Just living for suggestion really.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Every network is different so every modem will respond differently so your question is stupid. For me, in the south of the UK on 3, LPS is better but LPS still isn't as good as the good ol' modems like KI3. Keep flashing modems until you find one that works for you based on your network and location.
Thanks and no thanks because a question is never stupid but answers are.
However i am on three UK in south east. Have flashed lps which seems to be good but gonna try ki3 to see what's that like. Have flashed almost all the ones which are available from the past but i was looking for a generic answer to see if people have found any significant difference as end of the day modems are related to the handset model than network!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Erm, are you in the South East on an exchange?
Anyway, I got "generic answer" - no there isn't one, and no modems aren't related to the handset model, if that's what you're trying to say.
Keep trying modems until you found one you like, out of all the modems I've ever tried there has been difference, but really not much.
Edit after seeing the tags, who sets them? hahahahaha, brilliant.
Hey guys .. never mind what would be the modem that u'll flash but i just want to confirm that if you want to test a modem please see it effect after 48 H don't know why but i can see that the performance is stabilized in 48 H
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thanks Mo. I wonder why 48 hours? Its a software driver written to run a piece of hardware so shouldn't have a time related issue?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Time isn't so much an issue, but you should probably test a modem in different locations/at different times of day for a bit before you decide whether it's a dud or a keeper so far as connectivity/data is concerned. If you use it once & get average reception/data speeds (as opposed to crappy from the get go; if it's that bad you can assume it's a dud), how can you possibly know that wasn't a temporary network issue ?
When I tested a bunch of modems after switching to CM9 ~4 mths ago, I tried ~12 modems. A few I tested for 5-10 minutes & decided they were no good pretty much immediately because they were significantly worse than the modem I was using at that time (very poor/no connectivity). And the other 8 or so I tested over 2-3 days each to get an idea of what they were like. In the end I stayed with the modem I'd been using for the previous few mths and am still using that modem now.
Same here. Using lps have tested ki1,ki3,ki4,nelp3,nelp4,kh3,lq5. But i think lps beats them all on 3 (UK) in London. Does anyone know when Samsung is going to release this 4.0.4 officially on kies? As that might pack a new driver/modem.
Jelly beans isn't coming to s2, which i can understand from revenue point of view.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You're on XDA, Jelly Bean is already on S2s. I might be wrong but isn't LPS the 4.04 modem already. The difference between modems is no negligible and newer isn't necessarily better. How are you doing these tests?
Mate you need to grow up a bit more and research before you make statements. Jelly bean is only started off as being ported in gs2 and half of the stuff doesn't work. So i don't know where you are coming from.
And LPS came with 4.0.3 xeu, lq5 is with 4.0.4

Android 4.0.4 for Russia is out, just flashed the Rom and indeed its smooth. Better than leaked one. XXLQ6 seems to giving good speeds.

Well honestly, either way you go, senseless or AOSP, your gonna run into some bugs. This is because AOSP is only about 92% stable. The problems in a Sense based rom that has been desensed may be an issue. I can't give you a list of bugs you would see, but basically they would be there. When a rom is desensed, some key elements of the rom are removed. When these things get removed bugs appear. Your not gonna find a perfect rom, but if you can deal with a couple bugs here and there, then I am positive you will find plenty of good roms on the forums.
since when does aosp have reception problems.
SlimKANG 2.1 for my favorite "senseless." I bounce between that and EclipticRez, but SK 2.1 has no issues that are not by design that I notice.
Awesome, then I know what to try and what to look for. My 5th droid 3 died and the 12mo warranty was up. I had to buy another phone and HTC makes solid phones and this had great specs. This phone was $200 and in excellent condition and couldn't pass it up. I figured I'd just flash aosp, but the phone came with cm9 and data was in and out never stable, dropped calls, and signal sucked. Flashed latest original RUU and now I want to S-OFF and go sensless.
Thanks for your advice. Greatly appreciated.

Adrenaline 2.0. Neo is a fantastic dev, and a great guy. He answers questions about his work no matter how basic, and will help you with any problems. Also, Dragonstalker's Rezone Redux is an awesome Senseless rom. To be honest, there isn't a single bad senseless rom out there. The dev community here has those whipped.
Make sure that you aren't using the wrong network settings with CM9, most of the people with data issues that I helped straighten out, actually caused their data issues without realizing it. The AOSP network settings are slightly different from what you would use on sense. If I remember correctly it's the second and fourth options that you use. Somebody running AOSP will need to confirm that though.
