Signal and Cooked ROMs

[appzattak]

This is a general question. I've tried almost all the ROMs on this site, and with each one I have had this issue. When I go to access the Internet via ANY application, it seems to struggle, by that I mean the Icons that show connectivity do there animations and eventually the Ev turns to 1x, then I am usually able to get access to what I wanted. Now my Mogul never did this. I know I'm in a Great coverage area for Sprint on their EVDO Network (Inland Empire, So Cal).

So is this a ROM issue, perhaps with the icons just being misleading?? Or a Radio issue, I've tried both the ones here that are sprint as well as the Telus, and am now using the new verizon. All do the same thing. I know it's possible even Sprint made a change in my area, although I do a lot of traveling in my area and it is consistent no matter where I go. Speedtest suck for me too, I get like 180kbps, and on my mogul I use to get 1 - 1.5Mbps

Just wondering what you all think. BTW the two ROMS I like best and use are EnergyROM 3 and psyki 3.5, if that matters.

Not sure if this helps, but is this good or bad??? (see attached)

I use SsS Rom V0119 and it is solid as can be I use my phone as a modem and did a speed test I get right at 2.2mbps down steady and about 180kbps up. I had trouble with my radio at 1st and did a prl update and I have not had a problem since. I was not aware that I was having trouble with the radio I just thought it was dropped calls till sprint nav. wouldn't work I called sprint tech support and they told me to do prl update at least 2 times a week cause they are doing a major engineering update in our area and also to take out battery for a couple minutes each morning to refresh my phone signal back to the towers. Don't know if this helps just relaying to you what I was told.

-92dbm isn't great but it can also get quite a bit worse. In my apartment I get between -80 and -90, before switching to the Telus radio though it was -95 to -100, which is tragic.

On another note, I've used a ton of the ROMs around here and never observed a real change to my signal strength. Unless some wonky power management was cooked into the ROM, I can't see it being the cause.

What up Steve. Im in the IE (Inland Empire) as well and I am using the 1.11 etc Radio. I get strong signal all throughout the IE and it only switches to 1X when I am on the phone or sending a text. You might need to flash back to the standard rom (use the EXE one cause that will change your radio to the original) then flash the custom rom you want ( Hard Rest after) then switch to the radio I am using.

That might help you. If it does, hit the thanks button for me.
