Using jokers latest CM9. 37p radio also.
It takes around 3 minutes to get a GPS lock using GPS Status, outside on a sunny day. The phone sees around 9 satelites right off the bat, but takes a looong time to lock. When it does lock, I can only connect to 4. Never more than that. CM7, Nuetrino and Morrisoft have the same problem. Nottachtrix connected with in 2 seconds to 7+ satellites, but I hate Blur.
Anyone know of any gps.conf edits that work? Or any other solutions??
Edit: went to radio 36p and its the balls.

I'm on 36p myself. Seems more stable for my area. (Midwest)
Plus IMO I got better battery life with it over 37p...

Are you using the gps.conf recommended to your zone?

Ever since I've had my Atrix, the wifi randomly switches off. My question is: should I exchange my Atrix, or is there a way to fix this?

I am on the ATT network with no modifications done to my Atrix.

Have you got any power saving stuff enabled?

Unless it was enabled by default; no.

I think the Atrix's WiFi radio is just weak. My mom's iPhone gets 3 bars of WiFi across the house from my router, but my Atrix drops to two bars if I just go into the next room. My Atrix struggles to hold one bar across the house. It sucks, but then again, I am using the crappy router that comes with U-Verse.
I exchanged some PMs with a moto dev about this a few weeks ago. I have a weak wifi signal at work and it will drop if I start using marketplace or facebook extensively. Part of his/her PM:
The "bars" shown by the UI have pretty big margin of error but RSSI reading less then -80 pretty much puts link at the lowest end of the budget. Also that does not account for interference really because Wifi is simple technology. So if you are at -80 at a workplace that has tons of 2.4 RF you will have disconnects and many retransmissions. This is why using of the market place probably triggers something in IC because you have lots of data and error counters go up a lot.

If you're talking about a weak signal, there is nothing to do for that unless you increase your router's transmit power. If it drops, then go to wifi settings > menu capacitive button > wifi sleep policy > never.
I changed the wifi sleep policy and it still switches off randomly. The wifi will still switch off randomly even if I'm sitting right next to my wifi source.

What battery settings are you using? Is it power saver? Set it to performance, if so.
Yeah the wifi still dies

For the sake of testing, try disabling all security to see if the wifi connection is ok or not while sitting next to your wireless router. Also, could you let us know what kind of wireless router you are using (make and model#), and the type of securtiy you aare using, e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2&TKIP, etc?
I have tried on 3 different modems, the current one I'm using is a wireless router WGR614 V9 with wpa security, I tried switching it off and I still had the same problem. The other 2 where in encrypted and still disconnected me. I also have the problem at ATT hotspots.

that's not good. If you're up for it, reflash with stock and try wifi with nothing installed. If you still get the disconnects then get a replacement.
What does reflashing to stock entail? Is it as easy as ODIN?

download from moto here. I haven't done it, but it looks more safe/less painful than an SBF flash.
I'm already at the latest version, through all the updates I've always had the same problem. I'm not seeing a stock firmware download.

Good morning community,
Anyone else still experiencing 4G problems in NYC? It will stay on 4G for about ten seconds,then I will lose connection all together, before it reconnects to 3G.
My radio settings are correctly selected at CDMA+LTE/EVDO auto and I am on the MR2.0 radio.
This has been happening for me since yesterday.
Thanks!
I'm having the same problem and it's been like that for about 3 days now. I'm on CM7 so it can't be the radio.

I updated my kernel this morning and thought that was the issue with 4g going in and out. I'm glad I saw your post. I'm in new york too.

Going from Brooklyn to Queens this morning. 4G has been spotty for me too. Assumed it was the weather.

Have not tried going back yet. Switched to 3G only and that has had a steady signal, albeit very slow......LOL
Verizon had 4G issues about a week ago, maybe there are still residual lingering issues?
not sure what is going on. the first 3 days with my bolt were great. i was on the OTA update (MR1 i am guessing) and had 4G singal at work and everywhere else i went, pulling about 20mp/s downloads all day long. but, for the last 5 days i have had spotty 4G, zero 4G at work. when i can connect to 4G i am getting like 5mp/s downloads. and that is IF 4G doesnt hang and not load anything. starting to get frustrated....not to mention, my buddy who sits right next to me at work has a droid Charge witth 4G and pulling just under 20mb/s here.
wondering if it is a LTE/ thunderbolt issue. the TB and LTE are not playing nicely together. not sure why that would be, but i dont have any other explanation.
having slow/non exhistant 4G with MR1, MR2 and MR2.5 radios.
im in queens. College point. Today 4g has been fine for me.
I flashed the Seraphim ICS rom with a full wipe and it works beautifully so far except I cannot get a lock on any satellites in GPS Status. It sees 23 sats but does not lock on any of them. I have rebooted and managed AGPS state within GPS Staus. I searched and did not see any others with a similar issue as the Note GPS is pretty solid, as mine was prior to my new rom flash. Any ideas?
PS, I would have put this in the Seraphim post but I am a newbie poster and you need 10 posts, but i am a true a flashaholic.
Have you looked in settings and check to allow location?

I have a dx2 with cm7 and have been having signal issues, only with 3g no cell issues. The signal strength stays above -80 dbm most of the time, while my dads hunderbolt hangs around -63dbm and we have a cell tower in sight of us, has anyone here found a way to remedy this other then getting a new phone?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Has it been a recent issue? Ive noticed on my DX2CM7 the past couple days that my 3G has been cutting out and the speed is VERY slow. On average today im getting about 32kB/s down and 120kB/s up.
Im lucky to get that good of speed, its been on and off not to bad. Ive been noticing its been alot worse lately.

I applied some mods I found and the 3g works allot better even though I still get a bad signal.

Gotta ask an off topic question...where in the north do you roam? And I am unsure as well.. I have always ran those mods and never seen any ill affects with any rom...although I have not run rc1

Usually in Minnesota at the moment, but roamed North Dakota and Montana for 4/6 months I hit Michigan a couple times a year, little bit of Wisconsin too.
I never had any issues with the mods on rc0 but rc1 came out and i had to flash it, now im thinking bout heading back to eclipse and the lovely poison green for awhile

There's an app on google play called 3g/4g speed optimizer, I have it set on little fast and it has given a bit more speed. It does consume more battery and get a little hotter though but thats only when downloading or browsing the web.

I compared my wife's dx2 signal (stock) to mine (RC1) and they were exactly the same.

Well that atleast proves the CM isnt responsible for poor signal.

Wow just read this thread. I can honestly say since rc1 I have had my 3g trip out(not working). But I rebooted and it went away.

My gps is not working at all. I get 0 sattelites in use. Only location from nearby cell towers, which is like a 1 mile radius. I tried google and other threads and flashed every single modem i could find. Including GB one. No luck, any way to fix it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Check your location settings. All mine where off. I had to turn them on in settings. And try flashing the gb gps radio not the modem. Just google search ics gps fix. You will have to flash the tar file threw odin under phone NOT pda.My gps locks me in all the way to 10 meters of my location.
