First post on the forum so
be nice
Hey guys not sure if everyone similar to, me has this issue but my phone signal is awful and I can never connect to my mobile imternet except for a few occassions.
I recently came over from an iPhone 3G and have found that my phone signal is terrible in comparison.
For example
Location: In my bedroom
iPhone 3G:
Mobile signal: Full bars
Mobile Internet: Full 3G, All other networks available
Samsung Galaxy S2:
Mobile Signal: Maximum of 2 out of 4 bars.
Mobile Internet: None. Cannot pick up any form of mobile internet.
Notes:
- By mobile internet I mean non-WiFi connections.
- On O2-UK network
- Pay monthly Contract, 300 minutes, Unlimited text and 500mb Mobile Internet
-Not using a case on my phone
-Had phone for 2 weeks
- iPhone 3G was PAYG: Unlimited texts and 500mb Mobile Internet
- Had no other issues with phone
I've tried to foresee any questions but I'm sure there will be stuff I missed out,
Thanks for reading,
Tom

Have you tried flashing a different rom?
This forum is for the original Galaxy S. You might want to consider reposting in the i9100 section. By the way, signal bars mean nothing between different phones. Each manufacturer has their own way of measuring and showing signal strength.
Ooops .thanks
Hi I'm using my GT-N7000 international unlocked version using T-Mobile service, recently moved from AT&T service, now I have a internet speed issue, it's too slow and top of the screen just showing me E, when I was using At&T service I was getting pretty good speed and usually showed me H plus on top of the screen. I looked on online that said flashing over to KID radio might help boosting the speed, and I did it, I don't see any difference. I using ICS, and CWM with franco.kernel-r5. any help...
they use different network , you only get is 2g on tmoblile(E stand for ethenet) so dont try anything its not work ..

Are you using aluminum bumper in your note, it decreases the signal.

Sprint? Yes, we are all experiencing Sprint. What's new?

Sounds like the Sprint network in a lot of places. Here around ETSU and downtown, it is unusable except for when the college kids are out of town or sleeping.
i am having issues this morning also must be a sprint outage
Edit:
Seems to be back up in my area now
I also have Htc Evo 4g Lte and its not like this. I just flashed both phones to Verizon and the Htc one problem will not go away and what's interesting, Is that with Htc Evo 4g Lte, I can talk and use 3G at the same time but the HTC one 3G icon quick disappears as soon as I start to make a call .

I think that may be due to the hardware in the phone. I'm not entirely sure, but the 4G LTE is able to do both because the hardware allows it to (2 radios?). I know for a fact though that it can't be done on the ONE unless it's LTE.
Here's an article to support this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...supports-simultaneous-voice-and-data-over-3g/
As for the data issue, have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710728s-voice-and-data-over-3g/

Thank you so much. For awhile I was going crazy but didnt even bother looking into it sucks that Evo Lte have SVDO and the ONe doesn't. I thought it did that on the Evo cuz the phone was flashed but now I know. And to fix the data problem I Used the guide in the second link and worked fine a sprint phone but on the flashed phone some ppl claimed bein s-off solved data speed problems so I got s-ff and flashed a different Rom instead of being on stock and rooted. That solved it
The problem with my One is that when I'm on WiFi, I get like 15 Mbps on Speedtest.net but the browser takes forever to open up pages and load photos on Facebook and stuff. I'm running full stock and it does that. Weird...

Make sure you have upgraded to latest firmware. My brothers red one came without update and he had the same issue.

I flashed OMJ's Sprint One v1.7 because my stock Rom was doing this too. The Rom is basically stock but with a little more

I have just got the HTC one on t mobile in UK with a fully Monty data package,daughter has a blackberry Q5 and regialr gets the H+ signal ,yet despite being in same area I'm yet to see H+ connection and my speeds with full H signal is just over 1 Mbs is this correct or should I be seeing H+
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
People upgrading beware,you only get H+ if you are allowed to access EE in network services ,this it seems however is blocked for me (I suspect because I upgrade via a third party ) they say it's either down to my SIM or my profile going back to old t mobile days.If the new SIM doesnt sort it then they will look into it further ,but I suspect it's some firm of underhand cap on download speed unless you upgrade via t mobile direct........unless anyone else has upgraded via a third party and is getting H+,luckily my daughter has a 4g phone and her 3 g SIM only deal with t mobile gives her H+ and gives me H+ when it's put in my phone so I could prove to them it was not handset

Ok im sure i can not be the only one who has had this problem so here is a full explanation and what i think is happening.
I have been with t mobile for 4 years, i had a desire HD that would always connect to t mobile and then tmobile orange as well when they merged.
I replaced the desire HD with a HTC one x just as t mobile and orange were rolling out as EE and i noticed i was no longer given the option to connect to t mobile or tmobile orange it would use EE network and speeds and coverage improved.
So 3 days ago i updated to the HTC one i was sent new phone and new sim card(kept the same number as i did with the one x and desire hd)
First thing i noticed during set up was that although i select EE as my network the phone was displaying Tmobile not EE
So i searched for networks and EE no longer was there it was back to the old days of T mobile or T mobile/orange.Now on my account i have a sim only as well for my daughter she has a blackberry Q5 and her phone was displaying EE network and more important the faster H+ signal and when i searched networks on her phone no sign of t mobile ot t mobile orange just EE.So to test it out i swapped sims over and with her sim in my phone i now had EE and H+,while she only had t mobile.I called t mobile tech who were helpfull and said it was down to the sim and i should swap it.So i swap the sim this morning but still the same issue no EE or H+ service .So called and again and after 30 mins of talk they said they would boost my 3G signal for free(BULL****) i would say, but the issue was down to the networks mergeing and which masts provide the signal .Again load of rubbish as daughter sim works fine and i manage and i had EE on my one x for the last 18 months
So i have come to the conclusion this a sly way of throttling network speed to push people to 4G
does any other Oe owner in UK on T mobile ever get the H+ service
i have said im goign to test over the next few days
any advice would be great

Got my issue resolved eventually,it was that network settings at T-Mobile end blocking me from EE 3g network . I had to text start to 2121 and it rest my network settings .Now there is no sign if the old T-Mobile or T-Mobile orange network I just get the choice of EE more import I now have H+ signal which is as close as possible to 4G

Knowing that the nexus 6 include the xlte bands required on Verizon, I assume xlte works on the phone of of the box?
Also, does anyone have information about possibly baking in volte into this phone from looking at other Verizon variants that have volte?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
First one is sort of, need trimmed sim or nano, but it is hard to get the nano activated. I don't really consider this working out of the box
Second one, that is Verizon. We've heard different dates and had photos leaked. It will most likely come, but volte is something on Verizons side, not ours. So you can't do anything about that unless they end up supporting it.
Is the volte options Sim based or ROM/kernel based or both? Anyone know that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
It is network based option. I'm judging based on what I've seen on my iPhone 6 Plus. The second verizon sent out an email stating they've enabled volte here, I had a new option upon network settings reset.
I have a nexus 6 on the business line and I've been very tempted to use that as a main device. Unfortunately, experience with it on verizon isn't as good as the iPhone. Voice + Data is a big one to me, it also doesn't seem to keep LTE as well in poor coverage areas. Also, verizon is odd... I either have 2 bars or 4 bars of LTE most places. With 2 bars I'm upwards of 60mbps and about 10 with 4. That switching happens most places I'm at. I'm guessing it is due to the bands that they use. On the nexus, anytime this switching happens I have just grey bars and service can be wonky.
Has anyone looked at there options on the Verizon website? I was able to add Advanced Calling 1.0 but I can't figure out how to turn it on on the phone. I rebooted but there are no options for it. I am stock rooted 5.0.1

It will be under mobile networks where you choose global...lte and so on. Only available on a few phones right now. I would suspect the VZ nexus will have it. We will need a mod for our unbranded ones.

Where did you find that menu? I logged into my account online and can't find any reference to advanced calling.
For me it is listed as HD Voice on Verizon's Site. To verify on the site I go to Add Change Features --> Manage Your Products --> It should be listed there.
Though as of right now Verizon has not enabled it on their end for this phone. http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/advanced-calling-devices/
