Bars are not a good judge of signal, and it will appear lower on all AOSP ROMs for whatever reason Sense inflated the actual level... best bet is to try Network Signal Strength or a similar tool and see what your actual dBm signal level is, in mine it almost identical to when Stock, but then again you would have to have a pre and post ROMing level or a second phone to really see if there is any difference.
Are you actually having problems with signal or just the bars? If so, check the usual suspects like the back not on tight. Some people have reported wiping and reflashing with TWRP (NOT Amon Ra) makes a difference as well. FWIW, when I first went with a CM based ROM I thought things were very laggy and slow, but after a day or two it got much better, I did a battery pull reset as well, don't know if that really made any difference but it couldn't hurt.

Hmmm... I have not had that issue. What does Network Signal Info show for a signal strength?
Are you connected via 4G? Did you try toggling in and out of Airplane mode? What radios are you running?

I would bet you're s-on and didn't update your kernel the last time you updated your rom, you gotta flash it every time separately or your wifi will break.

You don't need a separate app for that.
System Settings, About Phone, Status, the current signal strength is shown. You can also change the status bar to always show it under System Settings, System, Status Bar settings.

Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

When i am on my mobile data it's fine , but as soon as i connect to a wi-fi it become grey and no more data (mobile/wireless) is working ...

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30

why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem
Edit: Updated my radios, still having issues. More info in a thread below.
Hey all,
I recently started running leNoob CM9 mod, and I've noticed that my connection has bottomed out a bit. I normally would have 4-5 bars with little issue, now I'm lucky to have 1 or 2. I dropped a call earlier today, and I haven't had that happen in literal years.
Poking around I noticed there were radio versions better than what I'm currently using: (1.22.10.0421r, 1.22.10.0424r) but I'm completely unsure whether that's the problem here, or how to update them if it is.
I'm S-OFF, if that helps the solutions any.
Thanks for your time!
See the firmware thread in the dev section, you can update just your firmware/radios/etc and not have to run a RUU since you're s-off.

I was going to make another thread for this, but hey, I saw this one I made a few days ago and it came in handy.
Since the last time I posted I did the firmware upgrade to the 2.xx radios, but that sadly did not help my issues any. My data connection will randomly drop in any situation; indoors, outdoors, whatever. I can flip my phone to airplane mode and back to restore the data connection, and it usually instantly hits 4-5 bar 4G. Unfortunately, not long after that it'll drop to 1 bar and sometimes stabilize back up to 4-5 and stay there for awhile.
Other times, it'll drop to 3G, 1x, or turn off altogether. 95% of the time it will then just stay off until I reboot the phone or hit airplane mode. The rest of the time it'll come back into 3G or more commonly 1x and stay there until it repeats the above drop process.
I've had this problem on all of the CM9 mods I've tried (currently running Rage 1.2). I've tried various network modes but I've had the greatest success of getting any signal on the LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA setting; the LTE or CDMA / LTE only ever gets 1 bar ever, and never improves.
Before CM9 on Stock ICS I had 4-5 bars anywhere in my house, and even at work (the center of a very large building) I'd still have 2-3 bars and rock solid data connection. I have not yet tried going back to Stock to see if that fixes my issues, but I'm leaning that way unless anyone has some better options here.
Thanks for your time!

I've also been seeing the exact same issue with my signal but since flashing the Global RUU and Rage. Previously I was on older radios and NeoMax and had high performance on the signals and battery life. Battery life has also dropped significantly since the Global RUU and Rage. :/

In Rage 1.2 at least, my screen-off battery life is almost bulletproof. 8 hours not on the charger and it only lost 3%. Screen-on time though is almost exactly the same as Stock, and that includes going to the Wheatley governor, sio, underclocking the CPU and cranking the screen brightness way down.
As far as the radio issue goes, somewhere in the Rage thread Neo mentioned that radios on AOSP roms atm are hit and miss; some people have no problems, some people have constant problems. Currently there's really nothing they can do about it IIRC, and we'll basically just have to wait until someone can pin down the problem. Either that or go back to a Sense based rom, to which I say, phooey!

So i've tried searching the forums for relevant info for about a week now and there is always some variable or 4 that makes it hard to determine if it's the cause for my issue. On stock software, my HSPA+ speeds would range from 2mbps (bits not Bytes) to 5 depending. Now i don't go above .35Mbps download. I've been allover the tri-state area with the same results recently so that has killed my thoughts that there may be a signal issue in the area. Here is my info:
Model : SGH-i777 (on AT&T)
Location - Fairfield, CT
Modem - i777UCKH7 (have also used a couple other modems after rooting with same results)
Kernel: 3.0.15-CM-g094e910 ([email protected]) (gcc Version)... sept 24 2012
AOKP Version i777 JB Build 9.224.2012
Android Version 4.1.1
My question is, i've tried various Modems thinking that is really the main place where the issue could occur and i've had the same results: poop data speeds; is it possible that the kernel be another cause of week speeds?i If not that, does any one have any suggestions?
Please help!! thanks
If you've tried different modems with the same results, the only other thing I could think of would be APN settings, which may have changed if you've installed another rom. Kernel should not have any effect on data speeds.

i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576199&highlight=apn+settings and i'm applying them now, hopefully properly. Thanks sir. I'll check back and let you know what i find.
Other than APN settings and modem, the only other thing that I could add is build prop tweaks. There is an app called 3g/4g optimizer that will do that, or values can be set using root explore and text editor.
Edit... those seem like edge or 2g speeds, on cm10 there is a setting for that, it's in settings,wireless and networks, more, mobile networks.
Arg!!!> so i've reset my APN settings and encounter the same problems. Used the suggested 3g/4g optomizer to no avail. in fact i just ended up getting slower upload speeds. this is literally the only thing that's frustrating me in terms of my experience with rooting my phone. everything else has been golden.

Try checking your speed some time later in the night. It could just be a lot of congestion during peak hours.

Also DONT USE the speed test app as it gives wrong speeds. Use your web browser and go to Speak Easy speed test here: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ as it seems to be more accurate.
Some build.prop changes DO effect it as well. Not sure what your settings are but you can change them to see an increase. Shoot me a pm and I can post what and how to change the build.prop that I use if your interested.
Also maybe I missed it above and will look again after I am done typing here, but what ROM are you on? Stock rooted? Or other?

did not see the earlier post originally but i have toyed with the 2g settings, testing with settings both on and off just to be sure. with 2g only on, i'm getting half the normal speeds. at .14Mbps down. off i'm pretty consistantly around .30 Mbps down.
about to try something pretty rudimentary... asking ATT if they are throttling my speeds for any reason.

2g? Edge?
there is no "throttle" on Edge, as there is no speed on edge. Im amazed you are able to perform a speed test on edge.
No reason to mess with Edge. Cant run a smartphone on Edge.

Downloading at .30 is edge speed, there is a setting for "use only 2g networks" . I thought that option could have been checked, causing the slowness. If AT&T throttled the phone it would get that slow also.

That cleared it up. Wasnt sure where the 2g part was coming into play.
There are apps, or maybe even codes that can tell you tower info, make sure you've tried different towers.
If you get no difference, flash back to stock, and call at&t.
The use 2g setting will only show the edge icon for signal. Also in settings-about phone-status, there is umts. I think it goes 3,8, and 15 with 15 being the best.

Hey all - I hope this hasn't already been addressed. I wasn't able to find anything addressing it anywhere on the web.
First of all, I'm currently running AOKP 11-9, but I've experienced this issue on every ROM I've tried on this phone, including stock, and it's persisted through a replacement phone following an incident involving a swimming pool. This leads me to believe that it's not unique to my particular device, although I might just have awful luck.
Here's what happens: when the network indicator in the status bar shows HSPA+, my data works. However, the HSPA+ icon will frequently get replaced by a 3G icon for a few seconds, usually 4-8, and anytime the 3G icon is showing absolutely zero data transfers, up or down. This happens when I have four bars of signal, and it happens quite frequently.
What's puzzling is that HSPA+ is fundamentally the same as 3G, isn't it? I really just don't understand why my data connection is so finnicky, and I'd very much like to fix it.
Aside from fixing it, I'm also curious whether anyone else has similarly dissatisfying experiences with AT&T's HSPA network. I'm considering getting the Nexus 4, but if the HSPA doesn't get any better than this, I'll probably wait for a One X+. I had a Skyrocket briefly, and while it had its share of problems, it didn't have this one.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much.
This is what happens when yer not using data. It only switches icons when yer using data.

Right, but this happens in the middle of downloading things like images, webpages, files, etc. I guess if the icon isn't the problem, it's an indicator of the problem - why is the data connection so intermittent when signal is strong?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

for overheat go through all stepps on my downgrade upgrade guide as thats what fixed my ht1 serial number rezound overheating as for data i honrstly can only suggest making sure radios are updated with hboot and make sure phone is set to lte/gsm/cdma auto (prl) or lte/cdma auto prl in the hidden menu accessed by going to dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*

Hi, when you have a chance, could you screen shot your latest and greatest kernel, baseband, build number screen?

im on latest hboot 2.28 with the 2.23 radios found in my upgrade guide....on my beta kernel build and my beta gsm only 4.4 build....those have nothing to do with overheating...another thing that can cause overheat is using stuff like kernal tuner or overclocing your kernal....from what i hear dsb runs great but sucks alot of power
Edit...what i suggest for anyone is funky kernel and an older 4.3 rom for now...for example i had good luck with pac-man and carbon from late september to early october releases which can still be found....

Well, I did both phones all the way from the downgrade upgrade guide exactly as you documented, so kind of think I've got something else going on.
Thanks for the dialer tip, went through that and did confirm phone 1 is on the lte/gsm/cdam auto (prl). Still have the low data rate so no joy.
When I boot to HBOOT, both phones show the following:
HBOOT 2.28.0000
RADIO 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.104r
OpenDSP-V14.6.0.7708.00.0507
I hope that means I've got all the updates, right?
Thanks!

yes it does....on the low data one try switching to a different one...toggle airplane mode afterwards for 10 seconds and turn it back on....you may have better luck...also what conditions are the 2 seperate back covers...a pin may not be touching it properly...
Edit: Also just curious...what rom and kenel do you have em on....some roms do act funky and overheat under certain settings or performance set a certain way or even a setting in developer options

Sorry to be dense, but what should I switch to and how, please. Sorry to be a dummy, but I don't quite understand the difference between the RUU's that I ran, and the PH98IMG's that I flashed as part of your procedure.
The back covers are both fine. I did suspect the receive level of one of the phones, but what I discovered was the 4G signal levels are apparently different from the 3G signal levels. Both phones show a signal level of about -91dbm, no matter which cover I have on, so I kind of dismissed signal levels as a problem. Swapping the covers from phone to phone does not solve the data rate issue.

The problems existed with the phones without changing rom and kernel. Just running right after I went through the procedure.
After checking that the stock one I loaded was having the problem, I've now loaded phone 1 with Carbon 20131113 that has [email protected] kernel version 3.0.101-gb2c73c5. Same problem....

as stated you'll want an older version...that was still 4.3 and not 4.3.1 which would be from early october late september....and what i meant by changing is in the dialer menu i showed try various other ones....what is the one with the phone that gets good signal set to....try setting to lte/cdma auto only

Thanks Reventech, I loaded Carbon 4.3 from October 2, same issues. Tried Pac Man 4.3, same thing. I think it is some kind of radio issue, and did set it to lte/cdma auto only, same issue. It looks like it default connects to CDMA. If I set to LTE only, I get worse problems.
One observation, if I choose LTE, the signal level is worse than CDMA. Is there a reason that choosing a different modulation causes a worse signal level?
Anyhow, any more suggestions before I throw the phone out the window?

the only thing i can think of is get a new sim from verizon....i have heard being on an old sim may cause issues similar to this

Good idea! Will have to think of a reason to ask Verizon to change it as it is a new SIM.

On second thought, I moved the SIM into my other Rezound (the one that eats the battery extremely fast), and LTE data rate is superb, so I don't think its the SIM.
Maybe I can fix this phone so it does not drain the battery as fast. Any idea? This one is running straight from your Downgrade/Upgrade procedure with no other ROM installed.
Thanks again,

thats my only suggestion as that what has fixed overheating for me and a few others....i think its cause of the motherboard as first mentioned originally....my ht1 motherboard rez would get insanely hot....where as my fa2 motherboard rezound is superb.....i cant think of what else would cause crappy signal exect for hardware related....ie pins on back of phone that touch back cover is faulty or sim slot is dirty

I thank you for your help as always. Guess I have two bad motherboards, one that drains batteries, one that can't get a decent data rate. I've spent far too much of your time (and way too much of mine) on this project. Will have to bite the bullet and buy a new phone.
Thanks again:laugh:
