Since I flashed to it my signal has been ****. I can barely make an outgoing call. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions

My signal seems to be the same.
Check your signal strength with opensignal maps. I've noticed before I'll only have 2 bars on CM10 but I'll have 75% signal strength.
Also nandroid back to a sense-rom and do a PRL/Profile update

I'be only had my fascinate for a few months but has anyone noticed that the data signal strength always seems to be worse that voice strength? Mine always seems to be at 1-2 bars (2 is rare) and even zero bars in places where it switches to 3 voice bars. I have to be in direct view of a tower to even see three bars. I've tried both DL09 and EB01 radios and neither is any better ( although I think EB01 might be a little more reliable). Also my download speeds using Speedtest.net always seems to be worse than my upload speeds.
Does anyone else experience this? Could I have a faulty phone?

So this question maybe asked before, but does anyone know of any way or any app that can tell me the signal strength of the phone's LTE signal?
I think the signal bars show the strength for 1x. Plus RealSignal app only shows signal strength for 1x and 3G. All the other signal apps don't seem to show LTE signal strength, saying something like -120dbm.

dBm is what signal strength is measured in. The closer to 0, the better your signal.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Network and you can find it there.
I knew what dbm was, my question is it shows only one signal, and its the 1x signal strength. I want the LTE strength.
If it only shows 1x then you're not getting any 4g

? When on sense the signal reading in about phone is your 1x signal, regardless if you have 3 or 4G

My point was that if he is showing 1x on his phone than he is clearly not receiving any LTE.
But you are right about the sense only showing the strength of the voice. If you switch to a AOSP ROM I believe that the bars show the strength for the 3g and 4g.
I say believe because I swear mine lies to me
If you use lte on/off you can ping your network and get your signal strength. Its also in the bamf toolkit in lte settings

I've been having the following problem with my S2. Rarely the phone will show full bars, but at the same time have no reception of either voice or data. I only realise there is a problem when I find out someone has been calling me and been unable to reach me at which point a restart fixes the problem. Last time this happened I checked and found signal strength stuck at -87 dBm even as I moved around the house. Apart from the improbability that the the signal strength should remain constant as I moved around, my house has very poor reception at most rooms and -87 dBm is far too good to be a true number.
This is a very infrequent problem that has happened just three times in the past six months and I haven't been able to find anything online that would offer a solution. Therefore I'd appreciate any help this community can offer.
Android v4.0.3
Not rooted
Hi, everyone.
Could someone help me with the signal strength issue I'm having with one of my phones.
I currently have two I605.
One (white) is rooted with unlocked bootloader with latest CM11
The other (Grey) is rooted with locked bootloader on stock MJ9. (4.3)
I'm using both on Lycamobile on Tmobile network.
The white one is working well with the Lycamobile.
The signal strength is -69 dBm with 22 asu on HSADPA.
I see the network as Lycamobile.
However, my grey phone's signal strength is bad.
It's -90 dBM with 11 asu on HSPA.
THe network is listed as T-mobile on this phone.
The APN settings are exactly same.
The phones are next to each other in the same house.
I have never had problem with the WHITE one any where,
but the GREY one won't connect to the network intermittently
because of weak signal strength outside. I'm not talking about the data.
The phone simply doesn't call or receive calls.
I'm wondering if there's a setting that I should be touching additionally
to unleash or unlock more bands in this GREY phone.
I'd appreciate any insight.
Thanks.

Aosp roms more accurately read the signal strength. The tw rom is reading lower but it just not as accurate at displaying the correct signal strength. It is strictly visual though. This is perfectly normal. Neither phone has to something wrong with it.

Hey, Thanks for the reply.
I'm not talking about the signal antenna icon.
I know that one is strictly for visual. Some shows Full Bar even when it's -100 while some shows 2 bars for the same condition.
Are you saying that even the signal strength reading in dBm is strictly visual as well?
Because I used various signal strength apps and they all show poor strengths in the "poor" note 2.
And I'm curious why there's a discrepancy of showing HSPA vs HSDPA, and Tmobile vs Lycamobile
when I'm using same phone, same cell tower, same service.

Yes it's visual in there as well. Aosp is supposed to read more accurately.I just heard time and time again not to focus so much on those numbers as tw has just as good of signal strength as aosp it just doesn't look like it visually.
This is a strange one as iam not having any issue with 4G as such but have noticed some strange behaviour!
For the most part i seem to only get 1 bar of signal (although everything works fine / fast enough) If i put my sim card in my iphone however then i consistently have full bars / signal strength! I understand each device measures signal strength differently but iam doubting that Full signal strength on he iphone is the equivalent to 1 bar on Samsung?
Another strange feat is that as soon as i make a call, Like literally within 2 seconds of pressing the call button, the signal jumps to full and stays there until the call has ended and then drops again! The opposite happens when connected to wifi. If iam lucky enough to have more then 2 bars and i connect to wifi, it immediately drops to 1 bar!
Ironically web pages etc are all loading fine and everything seems ok but it def seems strange also! Anyone else having any issues?
When you make a phone call the phone switches from 4g to 3g or even 2g whichever is available because 4g is only used for data afaik and that's why the signal jumps to full bars. That is normal.
If everything else is OK I would leave it alone

Ah ok yeah everything is working fine! It just bugs me seen only 1 bar or 2 most but seemingly its because iam using 4g plus which is faster then 4g! Some guy i spoke to told me that 2 bars of 4g plus is better then 5 bars of standard 4g
I was just concerned and worrying as ive read lots about the s9 having issues with 4g
