Data and Phone Call Issues - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hey guys,
As of now I'm back on 4.3 Carbon using JB radio. My issue is that I get horrible data speeds on the JB radio ( around 60kb/s max and that's rare). I thought using the hybrid radio might speed things up but when I flashed it, I lost signal while making phone calls. Data worked a little better but I need to be able to make calls. Any ideas?

Best radio image

Looking to see what some people are using for radio images with CM7.

I am using 47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11. I am very happy with this one as it is much improved over stock radio. In downtown I usually get absolutely terrible 3G connection with the stock, but with this radio version I am able to actually get semi-decent 3G.
+1 - 47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11 has been working very well for me.
Same here.
Can you use it with 2.2.2?

Yep, I have it installed on my spare Aria with 2.2.2
I believe that's the version that's part of the 2.2.2 RUU isn't it?

Probably is. I flashed a different radio and I have noticed poor performance gps wise.
You included a radio image in your thread I believe so I will try that one.

I am using the 35.11 radio too...my 3G coverage has been better, since switching to it, but my GPS has not as good since. It take me 1-2 mins atleast to lock the GPS in Maps every time I try it. It doesn't matter which ROM or fix I try, it locks slower, even consecutive lock with the same ROM.

Hello im kinda new to this so forgive my ignorance...
I just flashed CM7 v7.0.0RC4
just worth mentioning i wiped data reset wiped cache...forgot to wipe dalvik cache
any way flashed over fine and was working great i enabled 2g connection only because i dont have a data plan and dont want one but now my cell connection is kinda wacky it sends texts fine but calls dont work properly (drops them immediately) and signal reception is bad it will randomly drop signal for long periods of time.
Now will flashing a radio image fix this problem or have i don something wrong?
BTW have tried rebooting powering off my phone etc dosent work any ideas?

Aosp and data

I've been lovin my aosp Rom but hating the data drops so I went back to sense and hate it more even though it has no data issues at all. Anything I can do to solve the data drop issue with aosp?

I love CM7 but left for this reason. However I have come back to CM7 with a new radio and it seems to have fixed it. Although the LTE radio (the newest leak) has no problems FOR ME, I sometimes experience problems with the 3G radio. I know you can mix and match some radios but I am not in 3G enough to make it worth it. Sometimes my hand-off is slow when I am leaving a LTE or a 3G area and going to the other (unfortunately I experience this every day on my commute). However, it is not nearly a big enough an issue to make me leave CM7.
MY only advice is, experiment with radios! try the newest one leaked (".3"?) if you haven't!

How???Where cna i find ?...but i dont have root,recovery.
It's an ICS thing. The new update messed with our signal. The only way to fix it is to S-Off and go back to Gingerbread.

THere is no other way???(((
Sorry for the late reply, you can search for modems I can provide a link if necessary but a Google search should be fine and you will need to root and have cwm installed to do this or use a flash tool or Odin if you have a galaxy,

I use to get full five bars at home using GB, after updated to ICS (SuperSayain rom) I pretty much only getting 3 bars. What I did was in the mobile network setting, changed mode from auto to WCDMA only and so far i've been getting pretty much 5 bar most of the time with occasionally dropped down to 4. hope this works for you too.
I am also having this strange issue. So is reverting to GB the only way or can you just flash the gb radio? Anybody know anymore about this??
Same issue here. At home used to get full 5 bars, now 3 sometimes 4, which is fine as I am usually on WiFi anyway. Problem is I had great signal all throughout my daily commute to work to where there is sections of my drive that I have no signal. Before in that area it would revert to EDGE from 4G and mine is set to auto.
Just believe like everyone else mentioned that it is the ICS radio. Hopefully an update will fix it

If it's just a radio can we just flash an older one??

No. And to the people talking about modems and odin and.. yea, no. We don't have modems to flash, and odin is just for samsung devices. Until now we couldn't flash a radio if we WANTED to.
You know the iPhone's fix when people were talking about how bad the signal was for the iPhone4? They had been boosting the REPORTED signal strength. So did HTC, so did Samsung, so did.. all of them. You'd drop a call when it showed you had GOOD signal.
Not a single person has posted about having ACTUAL worse issues. The OP said he can make calls and talks about how many bars.
Apple's opinion:
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars.

People here are having the OPPOSITE problem, it LOOKS like you should have an issue, and you don't.. but people keep posting about it even tho there hasn't been any issues.
This is the ONLY person who had actual signal issues(Weird Interference/Reception Call Issues on my Amaze) I have seen since ICS dropped, and it turned out to be a hair on the contact for the antennae. Read his thread, he methodically checked quality and could answer basic questions - and then he fixed the actual problem.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if someone is ACTUALLY having problems, they actually can't make calls, drop calls where they didn't before, etc.. then there is probably a problem that can be fixed. But unless you are having those issues it is likely that the signal strength you're seeing is more accurate(EXACTLY like the apple quote I put above), they are just doing a better job of SHOWING the actual signal. Which is good, no unexpected dropped calls or BS.

Don't know if that's the case because when I so connect its fast. Just as fast as the first day of the month. I do have the 5gb plan and have never hit it. Been close but never hit it. I'm going to call just in case. You do have a good point.
Do a speedtest. If its 60 kb/s and steady, or something similar, that's your issue

WiFi issues

Not sure what the deal is, but my OG has the worst WiFi reception. Multiple routers to test as well. Just poor reception every network. WiFi will drop out often, and the signal is kinda whack. It'll show full strength then drop to a circle and eventually drop out after and reconnect with like 2 bars.
Anyone else having this issue?

It would be best to provide additional details. Are you using a custom ROM or are you stock? Are you rooted/unlocked? When did the issue start?
Running the JB Canada Rom. I didn't have it long before I unlocked the bootloader. But right around when I rooted it, I suppose. It's been a universal problem though through different roms. I've only flashed a CPU kernel, but it shouldn't be active anymore.

I don't have any of those issues on a stock phone with the current software version. I've used it with an Airport Extreme and a myriad of others wherever I'm at. I've never had a problem that was the phones fault.
After I made sure that the ATT smart wifi app was happy after I got the phone all has been well. That app seems to be the common thread running through all of these threads.

I also have funky Wi-Fi issues with the JB ROM. It'll be working fine and just drop for no reason. Disabling and reenabling fixes it temporarily. I've read it's a common issue in 4.1. Annoying.

Yep, same problem here with the JB ROM. I have to disable then renable then it works. Annoying but it works
Try setting the wifi to 2.4 Ghz frequency on the settings menu

I don't experience the problem but having to use 2.4 ghz is hokey. That band is saturated to hell and gone, even in Arkansas. But 5ghz lets me transfer crap across my lan at around 290mbps

Does Data Affect SMS?

So, been running Viper (current ota) since the get-go, with whatever the radio package was recommended for this rom. Anywho, I noticed lately that when my texts are hanging (GoSms), the 3G indicator is not lit-up. The texts do not usually send till after it's lit up. I have full bars. Anything I can do?
