I'm running eclipse 1.6 along with chronic kernel. I've been getting poor signal over the past few days and was wondering if there was another radio or something to try and improve my signal.

Yeah try flashing (or re flashing) the me7 radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358007

Flash the new radio at the cost of battery life. I noticed big drain with it so I went back to the MDK radio. Just a heads up!
If you wanted to you could back up your current ROM and flash a stock touch wiz ROM and see how the signal is.

I second that. Whenever I run into a fairly serious problem ill revert back to stock to see if its rom related.

Dev forum. If you check the Bonestock thread, there is a flashable zip therein.

Yes of course! That's just what I saw, so I was warning that it might happen to them too. I'll be more clear next time.. :good:

Hey guys I've been trying to figure out why my rezound ( after root and s-off) has some crappy signal I have 1 bar and low data service almost everywhere but when I'm outside sometimes even then. From what I can collect its because I never installed a new radio or kernal. I'm not exactly sure what they are though or where to download them. ( sorry it may sound stupid but I'm lost at this point and have given up hope) I also saw something that said a radio is in a kernal. I have cyanogen mod 9 right now with the ics update and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a kernal/radio good for my phone. I'm computer savy installing it won't be an issue but I'm just lost as to where to get it. I appreciate the help on this.

This might sound stupid, but after taking the battery cover off to do the S-Off trick, did you make sure it was back on all the way? the antenna for the rezound is on the battery cover.
Check your antenna tabs and make sure there are none broken off or damaged.

This here would mean I could just flash the files over right? I believe my phone came with ics. It is s off and all I did was install cyanogen 9 with CWM. Did those flash new firmware? It may sound dumb but I just wanna make sure.

No. You can only flash firmware with a PH98IMG.zip or an RUU.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though
The chances likely decrease each day for getting the MDK build so the sooner the better.

Nobody would know the chances. Good luck with your refurbished. I dont know about sending in a perfectly working phone to receive a refurb, I guess if you want the MDK then do what you gotta do. I personally cant stand the purple smear on the MDK build...its horrible and unbearable.

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.

If you go to the dev section, there are 2 of the latest radios. With Vramc3 being the last released. You will just have to try them out to see which one works best in your area. Look under the multi thread.
Will do most definitely thanks!!
