Trying to figure out why my wife's note 2 running JB v16 has one bar of WIFI sitting right next to my vzw S3 with full bars of WIFI signal.
This has been an issue on every note 2 rom I have flashed.
Does anyone have any possible Idea of what the heck is going on?
Thanks in advance.

Check your broadband. This will tell you what your radio's are set to. If you have updated roms, but never updated radios, that may be your problem.

Running 4.1.2 mc3 broadband. This has been an issue for months with her phone on every Rom and radio.
Any other ideas?

I find my wifi signal is usually really weak compared to other devices too but I really figure it may just be a problem with a few of the N2s.

You could be right. Maybe I'll try and find another note 2 and test it I'm my house

Still no answers for this. Been reading all over other forums and it appears this is a pretty significant issue as well outside the root community.
Sounds like it may be a defect in some phones

I have no idea what the problem is, but the situation is exactly opposite in my house. S3 struggles to connect and stay connected, while Note almost always has full bars on wifi.

Yes, this affects my TB as well. Switch to 3G or Wifi and usually videos will begin to play within a few seconds. Sometimes on 4G, YouTube videos will not load. I suspect this is due to an issue with the YouTube app itself, but have no concrete proof. I am in Houston and am running a rooted/deodexed/debloated version of 2.11.605.19

It's an issue with imo's leankernel. He fixed this in his aosp version but I don't know if he has it nailed down for his gbsense version.

I have pre-rooted and deodexed rom found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570) installed on my UK (bought from t-mobile) S3 LTE and tethering works a treat.
Ive got quite abit of different mods on mine practically like a new rom and tether also works great obviosly if we have that option then it should work and if it doesnt its either a software bug , network, or faulty phon. Or even the other device thats connecting to it.

Contact your service provider | by calling 150, and perhaps option 4 for technical support, as EE may have this option disabled for you by default, I have yet to check if mine works because i just ordered this as an upgrade (Everythings Unlimited!) for only £41 a month LOL
i am tethering right now and i am shocked as it is very fast even tho i am near the ocean and bushland./Lake but i am on 3G , as there is no 4g coverage out here yet. You would spin out if you knew where i was . Its 12am I am in front of a MASSIVE lake in a tent near the bush and just to see if i could, i hooked up my mini netbook up to my i9305 and all i can say is AWESOME i have now been on a stable connection for 1 hr. who needs a hardwire connection when you have a S3
Hehe i better get off now and get back to the nature haha. cya

Is the actual signal rating worse? Bars are really meaningless.

yeah it does that every now and then. i dont know why but its been like that with every CM 10.1 ROMs that are out there.
It's because they don't pad the signal bars like stock ROMs do. I still get 4 or 5 bars outside

I do too but it stills drops to 0 DPM. I know they say its normal but its kind of annoying. Right now I have no bars at all!

Hey guys I was messing with some modems and I think I flashed the wrong one and now I can't get signal to make phone calls. Does anyone have a link to the Verizon modems so I can get my signal back. I also tried restoring a nandroid backup but it restores with no signal. Oh yeah is the radio the same as the modem? Thanks.

Right on man! I'm up and running again. Thanks a million, just wondering what's the difference with the different radios?
I flashed all 3 radios and all 3 just give me a 3g signal. Maybe its because I'm indoors, idk, I'll see what it looks like when I step outside.

They were just the radios that were included in the VZW updates, most times there is little difference.
It really depends on what area you are in and how strong your tower is, everyone experiences something different.

Yo bro, um the radios are great but all I get is a 3g signal all the time. I thought if I went outside I might see a 4g but nothing. Is there a 4g radio around where you can point me to. I tried to Google it but it just shows me the radios I already have . I'm in San Francisco and I always get 4g but now just the 3g.

They are all LTE/CDMA/EvDO radios. You should check mobile settings and make sure you have it set to either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO. If that doesn't work we need to know what ROM you're on to begin with.

I know most non-tw roms have similar bugs but do these have any major ones?
Yeah GPS only works with location by mobile network disabled and 5ghz WiFi is not working and head phone audio in a phone call. So that about it if you can survive with out any of those I listed and aosp ROM is suitable.

When my gps wasn't locking even with the wifi assist off work around there is another possible fix. Back up your rom then flash tw based rom and get a full gps lock. Restore other rom and then was able to get locks fine (with workaround disabling the one checkbox)

My GPS locks fine with the wifi location checked on Carbon 6/20 with stock kernel. I am locked on 11 satellites indoors right now on the bottom floor of my house.
But..looking at gps status it seems like the magnetic sensor does not work.

GPS has always worked for me on Cyanogenmod. I'd say it's by far the most stable since most others base themselves off it.

Any "What's the Best...." or "What's the most stable....." Threads are a matter of opinion for the members running them and exactly how they use their phone. Therefore what may be stable or best for them will not be the same for you. There is no substitute or shortcut to backing up, reading and flashing yourself. This is why these threads are always closed.
