[Q] I have poor signal after upgrading to ICS. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After upgrading to stock ICS, I have had awful reception and dropped calls every single day. I have tried with 3 past CM9 versions, with foxhound rom, Checkrom and with 3 or 4 stock ICS roms from samsung.
I have also tried flashing the following modems:

}
the best result I got are on the following stock rom i tried yesterday:
this is in my house, perople have to call me 3 or 4 times before the phone rings.
yerterday at the park, 50 mts from a cell tower, I had 100% signal, perople still had to try and call me 3 or more times before the phone got the call. looks like 100% signal still gives me problems
what else can I do? I have searched and I have done plenty of wipes, I have tried with the phone rooted, unrooted, doing multiple factory resets, installing many different roms and modems. I live in venezuela and have the operator movistar.
I also have a samsung galaxy spica, and I dont get any dropped calls on it.

still have the problem

may b hardware issue

If the signal was fine on GB I guess it is not a hardware issue. Perhaps you need to install more modems in order to manually search the one that will boost your signal OR you can enter the Modems topic and ask there who has the same network as you do and perhaps you'll receive some feedback there.

Try installing a virus scanning app from the market to see if it finds the culprit. Otherwise backup important apps/data, wipe and flash a fresh ROM. Not 100% sure if flashing a new ROM removes the virus but its worth a shot.

There might be some problem with ur router. It might not be compatible with ICS. I'm not sure, as I never had this issue on stock roms.
Alternatively, you can try and relock your bootloader before sending it back for repair.

Works with trick in all roms and all simcards
I tested three simcards , two of the same operator did not work because one of them is old (I swapped for a new one in my carrier) even with the new chips the same problem, do not know how more I found this: Trick: while the phone is on remove the back cover and remove the chip and place again quickly, now turn off and turn on again , great works fine
I tested with many roms (TranzWin , Baidu v53 ,stock and Experience V2, the problem as solved in all with the trick

Anyone get LTE working AT&T/tmobile

Just got my Tmobile variant unlocked and using on AT&T. Only getting 4G. I've seen users having the same issue. Has anyone got LTE working? I've tried numerous APN's from AT&T as well as other suggestions and still nothing. Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes I have lte working on cricket(att). I have attached some screen shots.

I have a T-Mobile phone as well, and I had a more complicated problem getting mine to work. First thing's first - make sure you have your phone properly activated at an AT&T retail store, which is to say you can't have hotswapped the SIM; it needs to be tied to your IMEI. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're using the nxtgenphone APN. If you still have no luck, maybe you have the same problem as me. On AT&T's end, for some bizarre reason, my IMEI got registered as one that could not support LTE, so my line didn't get provisioned for it. I kept calling back, but no one could figure out how to change my provisioning. Finally I got a rep who tried something out of the box. He generated a "dummy" IMEI number for me, one that would be seen on the system as one that supports LTE, and registered that to my line. Lo and behold, that did the trick. I called Technical Support for this (you can ask to be transfered to that department if you call AT&T), so you might have to go through that - the good news is, it was rather quick, and I didn't have to get a new SIM card for it.

Question Pixel 6 chooses cell tower with bad signal strength

I have bought a new Pixel 6 few week ago and get some missed calls and sms (where a Pixel 3a had no such problems). I wonder if I still have connection problems despite the fact that I have all upgrades installed.
I live in Germany and use o2 with LTE with a physical sim and a T-Mobile esim just for plain gsm.
I monitored the cell towers using the app netmonitor.

Sometimes I see cell towers with a by far better signal strength but they are not used. Some seconds later they disappear. Do you have an explanation for that or how to improve it?

Running stable Android 13 ? Perhaps enrolling into the Android beta program will help (QPR). It includes the latest drivers and firmware for thePixel 6 modem.
