In certain locations, my home being one I find all the custom ROMs signal bar go empty even though it has signal.
My questions are why does MIUI do a better job of keeping the signal displayed and do a better job of intelligently switching between 4g and 3g depending on strength compared to custom ROMs?
I understand not everyone can test this.
I observed this also but both Custom ROM and MIUI has both bad receptions for me, orange bar in battery settings, but the exception is Lineage 14.1 by minzi, my signal with that ROM is good.

I did observe in testing that N was managing it better, Darn why can't they fix those pesky flashlight bugs and camera, pity MM code can't be reused for N for these bugs.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for them to fix flashlight and camera and I'll immediately switch to N. Bad reception is killing my battery. I got stable reception on N
EDIT: Using CM13, I chose the LTE (Recommended) option instead of 2G, somehow I'm getting better reception than selecting 2G. Bug maybe.

I don't think it's related to ICS. Many people here think ICS is laggy, but I haven't noticed that. Connection problems are probably just because of signal strength in your area.

wierd because my motorola atrix has top connection even my 3g is fast on it
ics has its own benefits and gb has its own..eg: in gb the fw can be made really light..but thats not possible in ics s most app are not bloat and need to stay...so gb has less ram consumption...ics has more features in stock like walkman(only on sony phones) or swipe to remove..etc...really depends on what type of user you are
I am using ICS for quite some time and I have to say it's pretty good. I never felt that I wanted to go back to GB. Firstly I upgraded to .45 and the improvement was big (only downside was the autofocus bug) but when I upgraded to .50, everything went smooth. I am satified enough and I don't have any drops in signal and 3g is fast. Also check whether you're connected to 2G or 3G when checking the signal. I sometimes find out that if I have low signal is because there is no good 3G coverage in the area, then I select 2G and I have full signal.

Think its okay. The battery lasted longer for me on GB tho..

Can anyone suggest a custom rom which provides stable JIO 4g network on areas with low network coverage?
I recently flashed lineage os and found the jio 4g network to be very unstable in areas with poor coverage.
Go for the nitrogen OS its the best till date for RN3.
s same
same problem me pls help

Button line is, there's no solution yet. Stick to original Xiaomi or xiaomi.eu ROMs if signal strength is important to you and you don't want fluctuations

is there any MM based rom which has stable network and VOLTE working, which can be used as a daily driver?

The only MM ROM which is still being continued is LineageOS 13:

VoLTE isn't working out of the box but someone got it working this way:

All caf-based ROMs have no signal fluctuations.
I'd recommend BlissROM or AOSiP.

Some people would argue with you. No difference between CAF based and LineageOS:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71767992&postcount=78
I dunno how far valid is the CAF issue, but I never had any problem with AOSIP rom. Have been using it for near 2 months now and using jio ofcourse
My house is in a place where LTE is low. With MIUI it manages switching between 4g and 3g better than say Lineage OS where i have an empty 4g bar.
Certain custom ROMS like Bliss manage it much like MIUI in this weak LTE location.
My question is what is different about how Lineage etc handle this network switch and what is difference between it and Bliss?
Is it a graphical thing or network thing?

Can you use 4g on LOS even with 0 bars? How about on Bliss(Basically any CAF based roms)?
If no or yes on both then it's a graphical thing.
I'm actually getting better 2g signal(only signal I can get inside my room) on CAF based ROMs. At 1st I thought it was just a graphical thing as I can't call(immediately loss signal when I try) but I can receive a call whereas in LOS(0 signal), I can't.

Yes, CAF based ROMs will give you better and more stable signal. Try Bliss or Citrus
I want to give my Oneplus X to my mother, so i need a stable oreo ROM with good battery life to flash, what do you guys recommend?
The only things my mother will do with the phone are: making phone calls, whatsapp, viber
so camera etc don't matter

Mainly only 3 ROMs have active development (Omni,lineage and AOKP) AOKP has bug related to live display. So haven't used it since long time. I have used omni which is pretty good in terms of performance except its camera bug(green color photo when taken with HQ mode on) so I switched to lineages which is good too. For me lineage, compared to omni gives less battery performance. But overall haven't seen any major bug in it. So you can use lineage by yumi. :good:
Edit : RR is also there ,but I haven't tried it.
Install stock ROM , however your mom's gonna use it for basic things. And there are no bugs.
:laugh:
Install the OMNI rom. I am using it as my daily driver and it has been consistent. Although, do remember that it misbehaves with headphones attached via the 3.5mm jack and the camera sounds cannot be turned off. That said, everything else is amazingly smooth.
Hello to all
I'm posting here first time. I'm using Poco F1 since march 2018.
But getting too low SOT around 5 hours by keeping mobile data ON during whole day.
Kindly suggest me any best Rom, kernel, or something to increase my phone's battery life.
Currently using MIUI.EU latest build 10.3.6 stable.
Thanks in advance.
Yup same problem here. You could go back to MIUI Oreo 10.0.6.0 i think was the last update before pie. Me too, i'm on mobile data all day and get 1 h SOT per 20% battery drop. Tried all roms, all ports, al miui variants, no success. The only one that worked better was MIUI Oreo, but i couldn't resist on miui, is ugly and bloated anf overcomplicated with usless stuff. So now i'm on Nitrogen OS with Illusion kernel anf get 7 h sot on wifi only anf around 5 h sot on LTE. Not a gamer.

the last oreo for poco f1 is 9.6.25 global stable.....the best rom regarding battery performance.
Try a clean install of stock 10.3.6.0.
My POCO experiences a nice SOT (more than 10hrs) with this build.
I'll try Miui Oreo and Nitrogen after I'll come back..

What about LTE connectivity during whole day. Because it's my major concern.

It might be unaccurate for me to have a test with LTE connection due to the bad signal in my place, but theoretically, mobile data connection shouldn't be a key factor of SOT.

keep in mind that miui oreo doesn't have option for battery percentage. some themes will show you battery percentage in statusbar, but those themes i found them quite ugly and buggy.

Though mobile signal doesn't impact SOT directly, a bad signal will result in the phone continuously searching for a better signal and that will drain the battery, in turn affecting the SOT.

That's right, and that's exactly why I said it might be unaccurate for me to have a test with LTE connection.
During low signal phones gives more power to the antenna to empower the signal which is definitely consuming more power. For example if you leave your phone bear the bed while you are sleeping with your Wi Fi on, but the router is in another room and the Wi Fi signal is weak, during the night this will drain the battery significantly more than being near the router. Same applies for the Data connection, if u are in area with bad signal than your phone is constantly draining more power than comparingly in a region with good reception. May be you should try what will be the results in aeroplane mode so u can detect if the problem is battery related
