I've had this problem for a while now. I flashed my Sony Xperia Ray to ICS a while back and the signal strength has been terrible (2G and 3G). A lot of the time I get no signal at all. I experience 9/10, 1 bar of 3G signal and when switching to 2G there is no signal at all. What could be causing this??
I've tried updating the baseband to ST18i_8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72 and I have currently updated it to ST18i_8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77. But this hasn't resolved the issue. :crying:
In other attempts I have tried flashing different kernels and roms and have tried the Sony's PC Companion by flashing it back to the original Official Sony Gingerbread Stock. BUT I have been unable to sort it because I can't seem to locate a official Sony kernel in order to do the official update process.
Any ideas on how I could attempt to resolve this?
P.S. my network provider: Vodafone UK.

Hi
Try some build.prop rules.
There are some 3G and UMTS dedicated tricks, look fot them trough the forum!
Hey,
Thanks for replying. I've had a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881401&highlight=build+prop+3g
Um, I'm having a go at step 1 and located the build.prop file. I'm getting a bit confused however as a lot of the code from this page isn't in my file (bits are though which I've changed). Do you think I would just copy + paste it in at the bottom. In all honestly I'm no Wiz... Perhaps I'll ask the guy that coded it all up.
ALSO, I've flashed on Step 2. 2. sysctl.conf = Data speed increase (wifi/3g/4g) - a little better but this hasn't fixed it.
Thanks for the help

Hi guys, faced a really weird issue while flashing custom roms. I tried 3 roms over here, namely the chocolate eclair, froyo sense extended and RCMix22B WWE.
For all of these 3, I could no longer access the 3G/HSDPA network. Anyone faced such issues or have any idea to fix it?
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and put WCDMA preferred but still unable to get through the ping test. Did a nandroid restore and 3G is working again.
Hope I can resolve this
What network you on? Custom rom developers can't possibly hope to put every apn across the globe in their roms, so you may need to enter it manually.
oh >.< didn't know that >.<
I am currently on Starhub Singapore. Will search for the apn! thanks alot for the heads up!!
Hi guys, this really makes me crazy and I'm not able to find a solution for this problem. I've tried to search a lot on various forums but without success. I like MIUI based roms but I facing a problem with manual selection of network operators. This just doesn't work and everytime I try to search for a operator I get a "error while searching for networks" error and I can not manually select the network. I've noticed this happen on all 2.x MIUI roms with FXP based kernel. With roms based on stock kernel everything works OK. Does anybody have an idea what's the problem here and how to fix it ? I'm not sure if this is rom or kernel based issue.
My current os:
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-zdzihu-mod4.05
Rom: MIUI-2.3.2_Cobrato (Android 2.3.7)
Any help appreciated!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information, wcdma prefered, turn on radio button and check apn settings.
It may also be your SIM card. Try it in another phone. May be broken.

Hi, thanks for reply. I'm affraid problem is not in the phone nor simcard as on stock firmware this works fine. Also I'm able to register into a network as strongest network is selected automatically but I'cant select the network manually after pressing the search network button. So I can use the phone, I just can't tell the phone to select network manually. So this is annoying especially if you live on borders with another country or in roming since you are note able to select your preffered network. I mean if you go to Settings ---> Mobile network settings ---> Network operators ---> Search for networks. If you click on it, you should get the error.
Error while searching for networks
I am facing similar kind of issue on my Venue.
I have installed MIUI with 408(update.pkg)
Venue is not attaching to mobile network at all, I have tried Manual and Automatic modes, its giving Error while searching for networks
Wifi and other features are working fine.
I will really appreciate any help ion this!!!
Thanks and regards,
HNM

Hey mizuuu & bzene, sorry to persist, just to discard operators company side by troubleshooting, did you try introducing another SIM of the same company to check if the issue remains from operator company side or OS side?
Repeat, just to discard big point of view about troubleshooting

I have an Xperia GO and have the same problem with the MIUI for Sony Xperia Go bassed on CM9 FXP and with the CM9 FXP205.
The latest roms than I have tested are :
Unofficial_MIUI_LOTUS_1359919519.zip and
FXP205-cm-9-20130201-UNOFFICIAL-lotus.zip
5020T
I've got an Alcatel 5020T which has the same problem, unfortunately I cannot find the stock or AOSP ROM for it, so I am stuck with MIUI. I've messed around with the Engineering Mode settings royally messing those up as well in efforts to reset it. This is a daily phone and I do not have another at my disposal at present so it would be VERY helpful if anyone can help.
I've installed ClockworkMod, and running Miui_Alcatel-OT5020E_4.4.4 with the 4.5.23 update. AT one point it did work at the beginning but I believe since the Engineering mode settings are below rom level they have stuck and are sticking every time I am resetting the ROM to 4.4.4 and 4.5.3 and the original port 4.3.28.
I would like to build AOSP or Cyan for it, but I do not currently have access to a Ubuntu or linux computer to do so.
Asking for one (or more) of the following from anyone:
1) Stock or any other rom for the 5020T (any of the 5020W 5020D 5020E roms should work, or are close enough I'd try them)
2) Default settings for everything in the engineering mode for the 5020 under the "Telephony" tab
3) A guide to somehow magically reset the engineering mode settings to some sort of default which most likely does not exist.
Thank you all in advance for your support, and apologies for being a grave digger.
Aboute a month a go i bought a galaxy s2 phone.it came with GB 2.3.4 and for a while all was well.
When the update for ICS 4.0.3 came through Kies, i decided to update. The procedure when fine but.....since then my signal has been rather poor. I get four bars ocasionaly mostly it has three. If i start the data or the wifi connections, the signal tends to drop.
I thought the official rom was rubbish so i changed it to Resurrection Remix 1.9....but the problem persists.
I'm thinking of switching back to GB, to see if that would fix my problem.
Does anybody have any ideea why this problem occured in the first place?
Thanks,
Cosmin

Chances are the different modem in the ICS rom might be causing the issues, assuming you can't pin it down to other sources I.E network issues.
Try a bunch of different modems until you find one that works; search on here/Google, they come in CWM flashable packages & take all of a minute to flash. You flash one, test it out for a bit - properly; over fair amount of time (couple of hrs) & preferably @ different locations, if it's no good you flash another one, etc, etc.
Edit to add - Given you didn't have these issues with the 2.3.4 stock rom you were using, find out which modem is in that rom & then search for a CWM flashable modem package on here & flash that one first. Might well fix your problems rather than flashing a whole rom. Yes, you can use GB modems with ICS roms & VV
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately I didn't note the original rom/modem....so I have no ideea which one it was
I found on the forum that there are a couple of modems ( These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3 and KI4 )that work well so i will give them a try first.
Hopefully this will solve my problem.
I will post the results as soon as I have them.

I'm having problems in trying to do WiFi tether in my Xperia S. When i try to connect any device at my portable hotspot (at least i've tried with a Galaxy S3, Optimus 3D, Linux Notebook and Windows 7 Notebook), the device just cannot lock the IP address. It stays a bit in "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnects, tries to connect again, "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnect. Are any of you having issues like this?
Could we try to pinpoint the problem? It would be a custom kernel problem or a custom rom problem, a combination of custom kernel/stock rom problem and others? Maybe someone know somenthing that i dont, and it would be nice to have it documented here, so i created this topic to ask for your help in this issues! How can I solve it? Better, how can we solve it?
So above is the list of kernels and roms that i have tried and failed miserably in make my tether work:
Stock Rom Generic UK 6.1.A.0.453 with:
XSX Kernel 3.1
Advanced Stock ICS Kernel 11
The only mod i have at the phone is QuickPanel
i've been trying, using my self compiled kernel and stock ICS rom, nothing wrong with tethering, it just working fine...
Thanks for the test fajarep!
Here i got nothing!
Failed trying now:
- Flash LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf (read somewhere that generic/international firmwares have no restriction in tethering)
- Many tethering apps, rooted and non-rooted ones (max i got is a message of failure in setting ad-hoc)
-Adding a ",dun" at the end of my "APN Type" in Data-Management-mimimi-i-dont-remember-put-the-name-here-later-menu

hmmm.., I don't use Generic version, only using our SEA ICS version, it maybe doesn't have any problem with tethering stuff. So, I can't help anymore..
No problem with wifi tethering on stock ics and also on miui (both 2.7.20 and 2.7.27 with advanced stock kernel build 11). During the last two weeks I used it every day without any issues.

How is the battery life in comparison with stock?

Battery life is absolutely great in standby and just as the stock with the screen on. I have no complaints regarding the battery with miui.
In a quick test it seems that with MIUI i can tether. I will do further tests and report here
Glad to read that and to be somehow helpful!
Dear all,
I noticed that my P7510 running on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5) has an unstable WiFi connection when the received WiFi signal strength is not maximum (2 or 3 out of 4 bars). Connection often disappears and when trying to reconnect to the WiFi network manually, the there is no response. Turning off / on Wifi on my Tab is no solution to the problem either. Even a full reboot does not always help. I updated from HC 3.2 to ICS 4.0.4. after full flasing HC 3.2 first.
Is this a known issue? I cannot find any decent info on this. Or is there a ROM that fixes this? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I had no problem with the WiFi what so ever not with 4.04 and not with cm 10 jelly bean
Did you have that problem on 3.2?
Try and flash the official ICS from sammobile with odin
Thankfor replying. I did not have this issue HC 3.2. I went back to stock HC3.2 and updated via WiFi to official ICS v4.0.4. No official releases for my country for P7510 are available for my Tab, but other official ICS v4.0.4 versions I tried from Sammobile have same issue.
I'm thinking to go to CM 10 release, but since wiping is required and my P7510 has brick bug, I'm hesitating to do this operation.
Try the sammobile UK version that's what iam running and it had no problems
Cm10 is faster than official ics and gives u much more options It's a better experience at least for me except for a bug or tow but some people don't even notice them
About the brick bug I don't know what that is cause I had no problems wiping data so i can't help u their sorry

I already tried UK version from Sammobile, same WiFi issue when signal strength is not maximum. Regarding the brick bug: check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879941

I don't know what it's not working for you every thing oky with me
About the brick bug....... I just checked and as it turned out I too have the brick bug and I have actually ran EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip
I have wiped the data and installed custom roms more than I can count......i don't know maybe it's over-rated or iam just lucky!!
Iam afraid to do it again now but he says here "Avoiding brick:
The only danger now seems to bi if you are on stock ICS ROM and you execute factory/data reset in Samsung recovery.
If you are using custom ROMs and CWM you should be safe because all custom ROMs/krenels have now removed mmc_cap_erase() from list of capabilities."
Iam running a custom rom so I don't know.....
