50% cell signal

I'm getting the same thing. I used to see this when i was running CM 5.0.6 I think. if you put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds then turn it off it seems to fix it till your next reboot.

 

I had thought we'd seen the last of that mother, but I noticed it on BB 0.1 as well. I also saw it on either Onix 1.2 or Team Chaos, but can't remember which; I've flashed so many in so few days!

I have not yet seen it on Chevy's SS4, however.

 

*228 option 2 fixed it for me on birdman's FLY rom. Worth a shot on BB.

 

what are yall using to monitor the time spent without signal/searching?

edit, nevermind found it in whats using the battery...im on BB v.1 and i have 0% time without signal

 

Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > tap Cell Standby

 

try a *22899 or *228 option 2...

 

Mine is at 24% but i have no idea what it was before i upgraded to the P Baseband, which uses 12% of my battery usage.

 

I've had to revert our Droids (the wifey and I) to the C_01.41.00R froyo baseband because with the C_01.43.01P baseband signal constantly fluctuated between 3G 3-bars to 3G 1-bar to 1x, and so forth... C_01.41.00R is just much more stable for us with even greater signal strength as well!

 

I've had the same issue, with 3G and WiFi. .41 did the same thing. Going back to 3E.03P and see if that does the trick, 3G/WiFi were much more stable and twice as fast as what these new basebands are giving me.

Makes no sense at all to me other than VZW's software, I think, has some tweaks depending on where you update (why they tell you to do the *228 when you go to different cities and have issues) that I'm guessing is causing some compatability/functionality issues for some people who have done this.

 

I too have had some weird behavior with the new basebands (Pandora skipping a bunch, and the signal meter jumping all over the place).

I don't think the baseband has anything to do with wi-fi.
