5.0.7.1 fluctuation between 1X and 3G

[LrdElderon]

his signal reading is pretty weak. -120 i believe is like absolutely no signal just for reference. The fact that it's fluctuating like that reminds me of the issue I had where I had basically a 2 mile dead zone around my subdivision. Unless he has a bad radio I think the tower serving his area is out of alignment or something is wacky with it.

Have you traveled any distance from your house and seen if that made any difference? Just curious, some people work or go to school some distance away and that would put you on a new tower possibly. I've had zero issues myself with the rom so I don't know what to say. Either I'm lucky, or it's just your phone or I suspect it's a vzw tower issue though they won't admit it.

I'd try a reinstall one more time don't put an update over another just grab the full 5071 and wipe everything, data, cache, system, ... all of it. then install. If that doesn't work I don't know. Do you work some distance aways from your house? like 20-30 miles? You would have to travel far enough to jump to another tower if you want to see if that is the issue.

The problem you are describing I had on every ROM I tried since I updated the baseband. I rolled my baseband back, and everything cleared up for me. I then tried updating baseband and the problems came back. So I rolled it back again, and it has been working great.

How do you go back to your previous baseband?
Do you have a download link?
I'd like to go back myself, as my cell standby is 25% or more, and it's frustrating.

Im not exactly sure what changes were made in the baseband update. It seems like it uses less power for the same connection strength for me. I've had no issues at all. The only places where I get worse than usual signals now seem to be at meijers in the store (within 4 miles of my house with towers giving good coverage) usually i'd get about half a full strength connection, now i get much lower and the data connection error retry... also seems to happen at the movie theater (about 3 miles from the house). Dunno maybe that is from the basdeband update, but normally It's just as strong as usual.

Do any of you having issues with bad connections on the new baseband have issues on the old one? I mean like you might have a good connection but you are still down a few bars normally? or done a speed check? I run 2mb/s up/down about most times. tower is pretty close though.

Perhaps email motorola for info on the baseband update. Prob won't do much good, but it might get them to look into it for the next update? but only a small handful seem to have these issues. most seem to be just fine. *shrugs*

The cell standby issue that some cm rom users had was fixed in 507 unless you used an old theme, and the baseband had nothing to do with it. at least the signal loss error / w high standby.

are you using any sort of theme when you are having these issues? if your theme is not made for your rom version of cm and it changes framework or any other spot that had changes you lose them... the standby fix among them, possibly.
