Hello,
I have a question about the signal strength on my DNA. I just installed [ROM][4.4.4][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth and I only get 2 bars in areas I was getting 4 bars before with VenomDNA.
Do these roms somehow mess with the radio firmware or drivers or whatever allows the radio to function? If not, should I be updating those manually?
There is a possibiility that 2 bars on LiquidSmooth is equivalent to 4 bars on Venom but I doubt that the different thresholds are that far apart. On LiquidSmooth i generally read between -105 and -95 (I assume the units are dBm).
Essentially I have a DNA that I moonshined to s-off and then installed TWRP and then flashed various roms. I have not done a factory OTA update in over a year so maybe I'm missing something?
Edit: I just realized that LiquidSmooth has 3 colors for the signal bar (white, grey and black) and Ive been getting 2 white and 2 grey (filling up all 4 bars). Not sure what this means.

Sense-based ROMs tend to "pad" the signal strength, and CM-based ROMs are conservative on signal strength that shows in the status bar.
The best indicator is looking at About Phone. I don't believe sense and cm ROMs change the radio, so what you're seeing is how they report the signal strength.

Yup! Thanks! As i was using it I noticed some locations enabled me to get 4 full White bars which means its a legit signal to bar mapping thing rather than my hardware being unsupported fully.
This question was on my mind the other day. I traveled to an area that has really poor Verizon coverage. My DNA (Liquid latest) had no signal (nothing) for most of the time. My fiance has a Moto X (stock) and was almost always getting 3G, sometimes 4G (albite a little slow, for sure). I have the latest radios for the DNA, but is there anything I can do to improve the radios?

She has a different baseband radio for her phone. It will vary. Just because its the latest radio doesn't always mean the best reception. You can try different radios to see what gets you the best reception.

This one drives me nuts too.. Cyanogenmod needs to put 5signal bars in,, I'd enjoy to see a glimmer of connection at times
Æaaa..\../
I noticed the same thing between ViperDNA and Liquid smooth. I just updated my radios last week and haven't noticed a difference. As was mentioned, I guess new radios doesn't directly translate to better reception. bummer.
I have been having issues with my DNA keeping signal at all recently though. I've seen it mentioned in the developer thread, so i don't believe it is related to the new radios.
I've been having problems with the radio cutting out sometimes when I'm on the move, then I have to toggle the radio on and off to get data again. Only happens like once every few weeks though.

I've actually had an increase in signal changing to the gsm leak. On gb it would drop both cell and wifi connection. Now it drops maybe once a day instead of every half hour.

It seems my signal is not as good either.
I'm curious, because I've seen this explanation before, but is the signal worse...or does it only appear to be worse...meaning are the bars now more accurate?
My house is not in a 4g area yet, my 3g speeds are horrid now after the update. I will say i cant see how when im in town and near a tower I am only showing 1 to 2 bars and my db is HIGH like 99-106.

You are not alone...I was wondering the same thing myself...signal went to crap after the update!
My signal is lower, but I think its because I never had as good of signal as gb said. Floating between 3-4 bars while on gb it was full at the same location.

Mine is lower too. Theres been some talk about the radio in the newer leaks but I can't quite piece together what exactly is the deal.
Signal is the same. Ics just reports the signal differently. I forgot the article that explained it but if I can find it I'll link it

Well, someone who got the OTA clicked "update later" after it was "pushed" to him and had been downloaded. He might have been a "soak tester", I don't know. But anyways, after he downloaded and chose the "update later" option, he then proceeded to find the file in his phone and uploaded it. You guys probably have heard of it on the "droid forums" but I'm one of the ones who downloaded it and applied the update via "update from SD card" and personally, my signal strength seems better. I was having issues with the 4g vanishing and turning from blue to white as various data driven apps would say "there appears to be no connection, please try again later". Well, I've only had this for just over 24 hours, but I've worked eight hours which is where I usually have the issue the most and didn't have one single time at work last night. Just sharing my story..... (as it is for the moment at least) lol
Definitely an improvement, before my 4g was dropping out constantly. Now it's stable with only 3 bars who cares I still get fast LTE speeds.

Thanks for the link...great read and seems to explain away the issue I thought I was having.
This rings very similar to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
ICS does use a different algorithm to measure signal strength. Personally, I feel there is something wrong with the driver set that the manufacturers are having a problem fixing. If I end up having the same issues on my Razr that I had on my Nexus I will be flashing it back to 2.3.6.

I don't care about the signal bars since they have no real meaning. I had little to no service on my Nexus and I live less than a mile away from a Verizon 4G LTE tower. Verizon kept saying it was just the signal bars showed differently and couldn't figure out that I actually had no service. What I am saying is that if with this ICS update comes the same set of connectivity problems that I had with the Nexus, I will flash back to GB.
I gave up on the Nexus because it had poor signal strength period. With the Maxx, signal strength has been very good for me with 2.3 and 4.04.

Switched to Sprint from T-Mo about 3 months ago. We switched when Amazon was having a 1 cent sale on all phones for new customers.
My first choice what the Photon, but I was swayed by the Super Amoled screen of the GSII Epic. I swore off Samsung phones after having the horrid Vibrant (with the never working GPS). I figured they must have learned from their mistakes...but nope.
Anyway, after 3 Epics (GPS, bad USB port and signal issues) I got tired of it and went and bought the phone I should have gotten in the first place, the Photon! :good: Wow!! I'm kicking myself for not getting this phone from the beginning. It just works.
Anyway, the only thing that bugs me is I still can't figure out how the signal strength bars work (with the dual colors). I've searched this forum as well as others and I'm still I think I understand the color coding, but not the bars themselves. The manual is no help as it doesn't explain the colors or bars.
I have six bars showing at all times. I assume that, unlike my previous phones, that the six signal bars will always show? At home one of the bars is always blue. In this example what does it mean?? I haven't had any calling issues and my data is plenty fast (4g) average 4.5 down.
Thanks!
The bars light up blue when you are connected to your Google account and are grey when you're not.

I could be wrong but from what I can tell you have 6 bars and will vary depending on your signal strength. Only time you won't see any bars is if cell signal is turned off (such as airplane mode). Even if there is no signal you should still get a no signal indication (at least I do).
Also, I was under the impression they turn a different color when using data, such as syncing with services.

Scottie,
I'm really just wondering if the bars reflect the cell signal strength at all. I know where to find it in the settings.
Sure would have been nice if they spelled it out in the manual! I mean, here at work I have 6 blue bars and get slower download speeds compared to my one blue bar at home. I guess it shouldn't bug me as long as it's working.
MikeyLee,
I had nothing but problems from the get go. Weak GPS on all three phones, the 2nd one also had the USB port fail (didn't know when it was unplugged). I went through 5 Vibrants when I was with T-Mo when they finally offered me a different phone. Sprint flat out said they would just keep replacing my phone with the same model so I just bought my Photon outright.
My wife had issues with her GSII. She kept dropping into roaming. Hers was replaced once and no problems since then. Her GPS works great, so go figure.
Blue bars is background data. Turn it off, and the bars are gray.

My bars fluctuate depending on the signal as do all three Photons in my house. If yours are always 6 bars you must be living near a tower
Know that the stock base kind of 'lies' to you, Sprint always shows more bars than you may actually have, most carriers seem to do this.
Download a signal app or flash CM7 or CM9 and you'll see the true strength of your signal.
I've kept my amaze stock and up to date with newest releases. Finally going to root and update rom to cm10. But I have noticed since I got this phone last year, my indoor reception at home, where I used to have 3-5 bars 4g now gets no signal or weak edge. I am sure tmobile didn't suddenly move an antenna on me farther from my house lol.. So I'm assuming the ics update changed something with the reception I am getting.
So... Is it a radio update that caused this? I tried looking on threads here but can't find the specific answer.
ICS signal is significantly worse than GB signal. I noticed that too, as did many others. It just is what it is.

Apparently some people are having signal issues (i.e., dropping between HSPA and LTE where other AT&T phones are rock solid LTE) with the Developer Edition. HTC has said the Developer Edition may have signal issues since it is not "optimized" for AT&T. A few people have commented that ROMs based on the international HTC One may also have signal issues while running on the AT&T HTC One.
So for those of you running international roms such as Android Revolution or TrickDroid -- are you having any signal issues? Is signal strength as good as it was on stock AT&T ROM? Any trouble holding on to an LTE signal?
Thanks.

I wouldn't say that it's much an issue, but that the international roms show Att true signal strength. For example I have one bar of LTE in my house and my wife's iPhone 5 range from 2 or 3. My LTE speeds are almost double hers. The bars being shown whether on stock Att or international doesn't mean much. A good way to check signal strength would be to compare your db's.

No issues here. DBM signal, speeds all awesome on the International Roms. AT&T likes to make you believe that your signal is better than it really is.
Signal bars are a lie.

Yeah, that happens with me in my house sometime (if in my pocket etc) . Somewhere in one of these threads someone mentions how the international will drop connection at about -115db or something and Att drops around -125db. So that could be the reason.

I flashed my One to the Maximus 7 Rom and have noticed lower bars than usual. I live near a cell phone tower and all phones that I have had as well as others on ATT always have full bars while I can't seem to get more than 2-3. Today my phone started switching between H and LTE and acting weird while driving and it has never done that before. I'm on the latest 1.29 radio firmware and it hasn't helped...not sure how to fix it and for those saying this is just the true reading of signal, I doubt I would be getting such low signals when Im literally about 3 blocks away from a cell tower.

I did notice this too. I definitely have lower bars and lower speed as well....I have trickdroid 5.1 installed. I tried the ATT version before getting the dev version and I did not have this issue.
TrickDroid and ARHD both show true signal bars, but they will also switch to 3g from LTE sooner than the stock ATT load. they seem to switch at aound -120db where ATT will hold out until -130db. if you select att from the ARHD load, it hold on till about -125, still not the same but it works.
Like another person said, the stock ATT ROMs show a non real signal strength, where the Int'l ROMs do. It's all about your actual data speeds and the dB signal. I'm running ARHD 7.0 and have zero reception trouble. LTE speeds are fine.
Just replace /system/framework/ext.jar from an AT&T ROM and you'll get the "fake" AT&T signal icons...
Yup

My Co-worker cant keep the LTE signal for longer than 10 minutes.... and the phone gets hot as heck...is yours hot?
HTC One AT&T Variant TrickDroid 5.2.1 ROM with AT&T tweaks.
RSRP(dBm): -105 to -110 avg. RSRQ(dB): -10 to -12 avg.
No LTE troubles but I did notice during the ROM install before I picked AT&T as carrier it flaked out a few times saying something else besides LTE and H and kept going back and forth.
TrickDroid rom with AOSP icons are showing 1 to 2 bars. - At the bottom!! Whereas my stock rom was showing like 3-4 bars all of the time at the house.
SpeedTest with both roms at my house (not on wifi) = 15M down. 10-20 AVG. regardless of ROM.
Just a heads up for the unlucky AT&T HTC One owners that are in particular markets where their LTE speeds and signal are significantly degraded when using International based ROMs - I have verified that the problem has been fixed in the newly released TrickDroid 5.3.0. LTE speeds and signal strength now match the stock AT&T ROM. The signal strength was probably cosmetic, but data speeds are indeed much better.

Good for you. The LTE speed problems on previous International ROMs are well documented on this forum. If you're in a strong signal area, the speeds are fine. If you're in a weaker area, the LTE speeds in the stock ROM were much faster than the previous International ROMs.
edit: I see in your sig that you're a team Venom/TrickDroid beta tester.
Maybe this is a dumb question.
Unlock the bootloader.
Install CWM.
Flash Trickdroid.
Is that correct? Or is there anything else I need to do? I'm coming from Samsung, so I just want to be sure.

There was a visual display issue. My signal showed 1 or 3 bars. It was always green in my settings, it was never yellow, or absent. I also only had 3 bars when I got a 52mbs down and 28mbs up speedtest while in Austin.

I had always assumed the signal issue to be cosmetic, but how do you explain the lower data speeds?
Here are my previous comments on the matter I posted in another thread yesterday:
My LTE speeds are consistently lower on International ROMs versus the stock AT&T ROM. I've done quite a bit of testing at various times throughout the day to try to minimize the effects of varying network conditions and such (I've got 2 ROMs that I'll nandroid back and forth between). In areas of strong signal, the LTE speeds are the same between the AT&T and the various 1.29 International ROMs I've tried (ARHD and TrickDroid). However, at my home where I get just an "ok" signal, on the AT&T stock ROM the signal strength is usually 3 bars and my LTE speeds are 10-30 Mb/s. On International ROMs, the signal strength is 1-2 bars (usually 1) and my LTE speeds are almost always under 8 Mb/s. I realize that silly cosmetic signal "bars" are not as good as decibels when discussing signal strength, but using the app Network Signal Info, the signal strength just stays stuck at 85 dBm while connected via LTE, so I don't know what the real signal value is.
I thought there might be a difference in the RIL versions but the AT&T ROM and the International ROMs are all reporting "Qualcomm RIL 1.0" when queried with the getprop command. I checked the APN's and they are the same. I've tried the AT&T stock radio and the radio that came with 1.29.401.13 just for the heck of it and there was no change, then I saw that someone verified on this forum that the radio.img files in these 2 radios were the same and had the same CRC.

I honestly never had any of these, and I've ran 7.0/7.2 of ARHD and I've seen just low bars. My battery was at 10% with 1d 23h time on it, and over 3 hours screen time. I was able to get fine data speeds at home, at work, and downtown Austin. I live on the fringes of austin, about 10-15 miles E of the city, and I work about 5 miles SE of downtown and had signals that were comparable to my One XL. Didn't notice anything switching to ARHD, tbh.

One thing I learned from my HTC Inspire days that seems to have been forgotten around here is that all AT&T markets are not the same. Judging by a couple of posts in this thread, apparently Austin, Springfield and NYC don't have this problem, where as my market (Tulsa) did have the speed problem on International ROMs.
Back when I had my HTC Inspire, running International ROMs would cause my HSPA data speeds to be under 1 MB/s. A lot of other people thought I was crazy because they didn't have the same problem on their Inspires, but a few people did have the problem. After a long thread I created it was finally determined that the "wap.cingular" APN that came on all the international ROMs was the fault, but only in certain markets. In some markets like mine, you had to manually configure a "phone" APN to get full HSPA speeds.
The only reason I brought up the previous paragraph is because apparently a similar situation existed where there was some configuration setting in the HTC One International ROMs that was causing slowdowns in some markets, that apparently got fixed in the new TrickDroid. And history has repeated itself here today, where people come in here saying the problem didn't exist and "ya'all just don't know what a visual display issue is".
I've had no issues with data speeds here in NYC. I get the same speeds on an international ROM as I do on the AT&T ROM. I've been using the pta apn on both.

Noted. Unfortunately that wasn't true in the Tulsa market. Same thing happened on the HTC Inspire two years ago where some markets needed a fix. Unlike the Inspire however, the One fix doesn't seem to be APN related.

Supposedly the troubles with Aroma are common on phones with 1080 displays. Even though the international HTC One has been out for 2 months (and other 1080 phones even longer), the problem hasn't been fixed yet because the main developer of Aroma doesn't have a 1080 phone to troubleshoot and fix the problem. I imagine that the developers are reluctant to go back to the old method since Aroma makes customization of the installation very easy for end users.

Did it work for you the first time? Or?

Nope, during my very first ROM flash, Aroma locked up immediately when I hit the first onscreen button. I thought maybe I had a corrupt zip file, but after verifying MD5 then I started checking around and noticed that almost everyone was having Aroma issues. I was surprised because I had been flashing Aroma ROMs for a year on my Galaxy phones with no problems, and then I read about the 1080 problem. If the issue really is related to the 1080 resolution, then chances are the S4 folks will be having problems as well. I've tried all the suggested workarounds with inconsistent results. It really comes down to just retrying the ROM installation over and over again until it gets through to the end of the installation without locking up.
