I had read somewhere that the unofficial updates fixed the 3g issue for someone....
Any truth to this?
I never had any problems with my G1 phone with cyanogen mod and my 3g/edge connection
however, this damn nexus one cant hold a signal for ****.
If you have root then I say try one of the different radios to see which one works best for you.
I've tried all the radios and several ROMs and do not have near as good a connection like I did with my G1. Probably doesn't help I am usually on the edge of 3G coverage when I am at work and notice this. But the G1 was way better than any combination I have tried
with the ERE36B radio my Nexus gets WAY better reception than my G1 ever did.. and data speeds as well even with the garbage ERE27 radio, my buddy's (my old) G1 cant touch it in terms of actual data speed

hi guys, ive flashed a couple of different froyo roms and decided to stick to FroyoRedux 1.5
reason for all this reflashing.......when using 3G networks i randomly get no signal for about 2 minutes and then its back again. im not too sure why this is happening and wondering if anyone else encountered the same problem?
there seems to be no problem with 2G networks but being on 2G is lame and makes mobile internet kinda pointless.
BTW problem still persists in FroyoRedux 1.5
phone specs are in the sig (if you wanna know what im using)
cheers!
Had this issue on my kaiser running froyo also, went to an older radio which fixed it, and amazingly enough, the same happened on my G1, and the same step fixed it.
Using radio 2.22.23.02 I had regular 'no signal' issues, going back to 2.22.19.26I solved it for me, I still get signal loss on occasion, but only in known very low signal areas,
hmmm interesting, im gunna give this a try and see what the outcome is.
did u just flash the old radio file over your current one or did you use a specific procedure?
I just got a used g1 and it only picks up 3g, it dosent switch over to edge it only gets siginal in 3g, i tried to factory reset it, i used the *#*#4636#*#* to switch it to edge no dice, rooted it, ive pretty much done everything i can think of, anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it, would it possibly be the antenna acting up?

Couple of possibilities;
1) fried amplifier (unlikely),
2) there has to actually be a 2g network within range in order to connect to it... you sure there is one?
yea i know im in 2g range, i had another g1 that never had this issue and when i say no signal its none there is no switch over at all to edge or g, either it 3g or its an X on the bars, i went and to tmo and got a diff sim card still no dice, would the amplifier cause summin like this to happen? ive been around the towers and it works like a charm but i get to far and it drops all service what could it be could it be the spl or something im going to root it again tonight to see if anything changes

There is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in "re-rooting" if you already have root. It won't gain you anything. The SPL itself can't affect anything to do with the radio. The RADIO system *could*, but I doubt it is since I've heard of every combination working at least to some degree.
You could try a wipe, installing a fresh ROM, and ensuring that your SPL and RADIO are decent/recent ones.... I suggest you install SPL version 1.33.2003 (which is NOT deathspl), along with radio 2.22.23.02.
SPL 1.33.2003 is fully compatible with the device's stock SPL, which was version 0.95.0000 except that it is a FULL ENGINEERING SPL. There is also a PARTIAL engineering SPL version 0.95.3000 -- it is not nearly as strong as 1.33.2003.
Note that the radio and spl themselves can NOT be "broken". They are either both present/correct or the phone is totally bricked. There is no in-between.
well i have danger SPL, i went from the 26I radio to .23 no dice, a fresh rom (cyanogenmod 6) install, wiped the phone multiple times a day still noting what can be done about this im completely out of ideas and still no dice, if i have to change the boards in the phone, where can i find them and would i have to revert the rooting on the phone to not cause any issues. . Well I got some stuff to work if I switch it over to gsm auto (prl) I get signal in some places but still not fuily work there is no data when I do this tho and I still drop the siginal alot
I figured it out my gsm antenna is damaged on the outside, is there anyway to repair this without chaing the back, and where if i could, get the antenna from?
So I've been messing around with more roms lately trying to find one that has all the features I like and that are easy to use. I am on the latest clockwork recovery through rom manager. I was on the korean radio 5.08? and flashed around with superhybrid, miui bundle, desire hd, rodriguez miui. and an oc-kernel for 1152mhz? something like that.
My phone just won't connect to the data connection no more, on any of the rom. i tried changing my APN to a couple. I tried switching back to my usual rom, I tried upgrading to the radio to the latest korean radio of 5.12. I was able to get edge connection for a brief moment, but it barely works. When I say brief i mean like 2 minutes then there goes my edge connection....
I'm hoping this is network side in this general area only, but is there a possible problem on my phone? any solution if it is?
I would try it out at different part of town that you usually get 3G.
If it's like that all the times everywhere than it might be the phone but I doubt it.
I had the same problems for about 2 weeks here at work (everywhere else it work fine). Tmobile must have fixed the tower cause it's working fine now at work also.
I have been having intermittent signal problems on my phone for several months now and it's extremely frustrating. I've read through quite a few threads trying to find a similar problem, but nothing seems to provide a solution. So here goes my feeble attempt to explain what's going on...
For starters, I am in Canada on the Telus network. The phone works fine when I am traveling between places but doesn't work at all whenever I am at work or at home. Other places seem to knock it out as well. It hasn't worked at work since I started having the connection problems back in February or March. The same goes for at home. Anytime I am in between the two, which is a five minute drive I can switch the airplane mode on and off and it will usually connect to the network. When the Network drops, I still have signal bars, but get the "emergency calls only" instead.
I am running CM 7.0.3, and have updated the radio to 5.08.00.04 as well as 5.12.00.08 both did not to anything(I am now back on .08). I was on CM 6.1 when the problems started, and have been updating through the release candidates up to the latest stable CM still with no luck on figuring out what is causing the problem. I have done full wipes, as well as installed different ROMs trying to find what's causing this.
Could the SIM card be the culprit? Even if it seems to work fine some of the time?
I'm completely out of ideas, and sick of not being able to use my phone, as an actual phone, while I'm at home or at work. Any suggestions or ideas/questions is appreciated to figuring out what is going on, I'll answer the questions as best I can.
Thanks,
Chad
I'm having the exact same problem as you: only "Emergency Calls" at places with thick walls (is that well said?), where I used to have good reception and where others (with same company) have a pretty decent signal. I really don't recall when this started, but also does occur with all radios and kernels I've tested so far.
I'm currently running CM 7.0.3 with radio 5.12.00.08 and kernel redstar 2.6.38.7-CFS.
Me three. I think its something to do with cyan 7 because its been since I went onto it that signals not been what it used to. Perma emergency only in my halls.
Hi all,
Within the past week or so, I've noticed a fairly large drop in the signal strength from both my wireless lan and 3g signals. With the cell signal, it was even dropping to edge sometimes when I was outside in an area which used to give me full bars. Wireless isn't much better, and it seems to be fluctuating between 4/5 signal and 2/5 signal even though I'm close to my router. Again, I used to have full signal in the same location. Nothing really would have changed.
Yesterday I tried flashing Continuum (2.3.4) instead of running the stock 2.2 that I had before. The 3g signal seems to be *slightly* more consistent, although I'm still not at full bars, whereas I always was before.
Is this a common occurrence? Is it my hardware, and can I fix it myself, or do I need to send it in to Rogers? I've only had the phone for about 6 months now. I wonder if it's under warranty still (assuming I flash back the original ROM and bootloader).
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. It's odd, but the wifi signal almost gets boosted when I'm trying to use the internet, but not to full bars even when I'm near the router.
Bump. Is this the wrong place to ask this question?
Cheers
My AT&T Captivate has similar issues. Mine started about a month ago. I haven't put any effort into figuring out the root cause.
Yeah, I'd really like to figure out what's up though. Does the hardware just crap out after a few months of use? Thanks samsung!

This trend happened with my HTC Aria as well. I don't believe its anything related to Samsung hardware crapping out.
So, if it's software, what would be consistent across a ROM and kernel flash?
I recently fixed a network error effecting call quality by flashing a new modem. I know our issues are different, but since you did flash new ROM i dont think it could hurt.

Stumbled across this article on Toms Hardware today and felt like it was a good read for this thread.

Unfortunately it's not just my wifi that has issues, but 3g as well.

Have you tried flashing a different modem? The one that came with your current rom may be different than you had before which would account for your weaker signals. Different modems work better in different areas. Try something else and see if it doesn't help, such as JK4 or JL3.
I haven't yet, but I actually had the problem before I flashed the ROM.
Where are you located. I have absolutely ATROCIOUS reception in Atlanta, and ATT says they have some 50 towers down. Your area might be the same. In my basement where I used to have 3 bars consistently, i know have to run around the basement struggling to get one bar to send a text. ATT needs to get their act together or everyone might start switching to Verizon.
In Toronto, Canada. We usually have good reception. It's only recently that I have had issues.
check with other people such as your family and see if they have bad service too, if so call your service provider, there may be an issue on their end. Other than that all I can suggest would be a full reset to factory and a master clear and then restart from there. While that is annoying, it might be worth it to solve the problem.
