Problems with signal strength - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having problems with signal strength on my X1 i don't even get 3G connection only GSM and sometimes it looses all connection so it says No Service.
I never had this problem with my old Z770i
What is the cause of this?

what is your ROM and radio version?

ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509891
ROM version "SEX1-r3.61-Bare"
My radio version is: 1.10.25.18

Well, I've got no idea about custom ROM. I am using generic UK from R1A, then R2A (noticeable signal improvement) and now R3A (signal improvement again).
current radio version: 1.14.25.55
Maybe someone else could suggest some idea.

bad signal with cingular 2.25 radio rom

I upgraded to the Tmobile 2.24 rom that I found on here which includes the cingular 2.25 radio rom.
When I connect to EDGE or GPRS my signal goes to 1 or 2 bars. Even if I disconnect from GPRS/EDGE it stays 1 or 2 bars. If I restart the phone, then I get a full signal until connecting to GPRS again.
Anyone else experience this? Suggestions?
i agree. ever since i used summiters new rom program the signal has gotten soooo much worse than the 2.17 version
My signal was getting a bit better after only upgrading my Radio Rom, but when I tried to connect to GPRS it would fail 4-5 times before it finally connects.
After flashing back my Qtek 2.18 Rom it was fine again and right now with my T-Mobile 2.21 Rom it still is fine.
So no 2.25 Radio Rom from Cingular for me anymore
Have either of you tried using the older Radio Rom with the AKU 2.3 OS Rom?
No issues here with the 2.25.11 Radio ROM. 5 bars before GPRS = 5 bars during and 5 bars after GPRS.

GSM signal strength - new roms...

I'm currently still running on the WWE original rom, as yet haven't seen any need to upgrade. I'd like the GPS functionality, but don't NEED it just yet...so I can wait.
However have just moved house and my network signal is now marginal at best, has anyone seen any improvements in GSM radio signal with any of the newer roms ?
cheers
anyone have any views?

Reception gone down after GPS upgrade?

When HTC first sold the P3600 they said they disabled the GPS chip set because it interfered with the GSM radio. From what I’ve been reading in some of the posts, some people are still experiencing a desensitized radio section after upgrading to the new GPS enabled ROM. Maybe this is why it is taking HTC so long to release the official ROM.
I’d like to hear from posters who have upgraded to the new ROM to see who has or has not seen their signal strength decline after the GPS ROM upgrade.
Mine is fine, still 3-4 bars. I use GSM850 out here in the wilds of Canada, though.
I had the same problems with signal after upgrading to dopod rom. However, I also updated radio to 1.38 and now GSM signal seems to be much better. Not excellent but reasonably good.
I've compared mine Running the Dopod Rom with radio 1.38 with a friends running the original non gps HTC rom and got the same signal,we were both using the Greek Cosmote network "Gsm 1800"and we had both selected the gsm band and disabled 3G .

Fluctuating Signal

What's your Radio version and how's your signal?

I'm interested to hear how you folks are finding your phone's signal strength and reliability, what radio version do you have and are there any issues with it?
I have Baseband 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M and I sometimes lose the O2 signal in my home.
Edit: I should have posted this in Q & A ... doh!
I'm running baseband version 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M and I can get -83 dBm at best on my home's wi-fi network.
I installed this version last week after having problems connecting to any wi-fi signal with 20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M
Until now I haven't had any problems this week and it's running fine.
Thanks for your reply. How was your gsm signal before and after the recent radio flash, have you noticed any difference?
In the current establishment I'm in, my best signal is -89dBm on a UMTS (3G network). Unfortunately I don't remember my signal strength on a mobile network before I flashed my new radio. I can recall however that it was quite slow...
What Mod/Android version are you running? It's important to have a radio that matches the proper rom in order for it to work properly.
I have a new IS without root etc, the unit received an OTA update the day I got it. The current software No is 2.30.405.1. My only gripe is the phone signal here, but having said that, it doesn't seem as troublesome today. Also my battery life (today at least) appears to be improving with time and use.
That's good to hear that your signal is getting better! Coverage in your area may be a factor as well.
This XDA thread has a list of IS radios matched to certain RUUs. Based on the versions you mentioned previously, your radio matches your RUU version. I was kind of banking on the fact that they didn't match up, in which case we could of probably solved the problem.
What kind of signal strength do you usually get?
Keep us posted if your signal improves or not and we'll see what we can do if need be!
Well I'm sad to say that I've just returned my 3rd HTC IS, all 3 had signal issues for me on the O2 network. I loved the build quality, style and the Sense interface .... what to do now?
