help, weak cellphone signal - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hello my phone's operator signal is weak like 2 bars and sometimes its just looking to connect to the operator
i had the stock rom with lollipop now i have Vision X rom but still the same, i need advice, can it get better if i install a new kernel, new modem (what do you recomend?) or a new rom, im trying to find another rom with android 5.1.1, thanks in advice guys

this is 3G or LTE? is one better signal than the other? why do you think adjusting the phone will fix it? you could try another phone on the same carrier to attempt to confirm if it's simply your location that's the problem

[Q] Best modem ROM for AT&T USA?

When I first got the SG2, the data signal dropped pretty much every time I tried to use it (XWKE2). I upgraded my ROM to (XXKE4) and it seemed to make things much better. I just upgraded to (XXKF2) and it seems to be bad again, but not as bad as the original ROM.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there is a preferred modem ROM for USA AT&T. I'm also in New York City, so this may also be part of the problem.

Is your sim card active ?
Hi
I have the same problem as yours (i thought i am the only one having this)...out of the blue the phone changes to the emergency calls Only status....
it is very annoying specially when you are expecting an important phone call and you discover that the phone cannot receive calls
it became a habit of mine to keep checking my phone every once and a while, and when spotted i restart my phone and this brings the phone back to normal (Normal for a day or two of course).
Can anybody help with this?
SGS2 GT-I9100, Android: 2.3.3, Build: JHKG2
First of all I would download a newer firmware. If that doesn't fix it you should probably just return it to Samsung for replacement/repair.
Actually i have flashed this Israeli ROM (it is an Orange official but leaked ROM) about a month or so and it supports Arabic, English & Russian (exactly what i need) that i have no complains about so far except this emergency Calls issue and i am not so fund of rooting etc so i don't know where i can find another ROM (official not cooked ) that have the same languages supported.

What is your signal strength when it changes to emergency only? Mine does that during very weak signal, I found it's because it can only receive GPRS singal which is from another carrier when my own (HSPA) can't establish connection.

frankly i didn't check or notice such thing, but the moment i installed my latest ROM (GB/JHKG2) i have noticed that the signal strength is very week especially indoors.
thinking off and analyzing this situation i have a confident opinion that the problem i am facing is related to the ROM i am using (GB/JHKG2).
i am thinking of flashing a different Kernel to this ROM and see what will happen

When you installed a different rom did you flash back to your original telcos baseband? This makes an enormous difference to signal strength.

Serious Signal strength issues on stock ROM :(

Hi Guys !! I currently own an optimus one running on stock froyo 2.2.2 (unrooted). Quite a few times (including today) I noticed that the icon showing signal strength in the notification bar blinking. Whenever I return from my college to home via bus..I find the signal strngth changed to null. At college signal strength would be like( 3 out of 4 bars) but at home it stays at full strength. But the day I go to college and return home ..on the way i find my signal strength on the top most notification changing to null for 2 seconds & then returning to full..again going back to its previous state & returns full & again....(fluctuation takes place aft 2 seconds each). Even after I return home where signal strength is supposedly full...the problem does not vanish unless & until I restart the phone. after restarting it doesn't fluctuate anymore. Why does this happen & how to get rid of this ? Pls note- I am on Airtel 2G network with network mode- GSM only. As most Indian users know airtel network is superb !! & I too stay in the capital city of my state so there's no chance of poor signal. i think it's a hardware issue. what u guys say ?
1 more query- can someone provide me the download link to android 2.2 firmware for indian optimus one. I found all the download links to have got expired except for 2.2.2 (v10d). main reason to downgrade-to be able to run ndrive on my phone. pls note that ndrive doesn't work on other optimus one's which come with android 2.2.2 preinstalled.
I wonder....
Airtel's signals are very strong even in the remote areas...
i dont think your hardware causes you this problem it could be your sim card
try changing your sim card and if necessary change your number as you say you wanna be on airtel so buy an another airtel sim and try your luck
or else borrow a airtel sim from your friend and check if its working for you...
If not switch on to vodafone as i did
I was also encountering some problems like gps can locate me.
So i switched.
Vodafone is also good if u try.
sure. thanx 4 replying

What is your base bad version/radio modem? What version of android are you on, are you on a custom rom or kernel, are you rooted, are you completely stock form the manufacture and who is your cellular provider?
Go to your settings and then to about phone and you can take a screen shot and upload it. or type your results?
Make sure to delete from the screen shot your mac address you DO not want or need to share that with any one.
Has your phone been dropped, damaged or water damage. are you the original owner or was the phone used before you got it?
I was having issues on mine after installing CM12.1 (android 5.1.x) while using a GSM carrier (t-mobile); in my case it was calls not ringing in, and inability to end a call. If you're not on a 5..x rom, my solution probably won't help (and may cause more issues). My solution is here:
