Droid Mini GSM reception topic

Question for all people running Droid Mini on GSM networks. How is your reception? I have my Droid on my desk and the phone is saying 50% signal strength. My nokia next to it, on the same carrier is 100%. In my garage my nokia has a signal, my droid hasn't.

settings says UMTS = -69 dBm

Is this normal?

No reception after removing the back cover of HTC One x topic

Hello,

I am using a HTC one x unbranded. I have recently removed the back cover just to look inside(i know i am stupid, Shouldn't have done that).

But anyway after placing the back cover safely and cautiously i can't seem to get my sim card registered (which i used before perfectly in this phone ) due to poor reception in my opinion.

The other thing is when i go to the city where the network tower is located my phone seem to be working fine. better reception.

I have tried many things. I looked inside the phone again to make sure i haven't damaged anything and also tried a different sim card and i did reset the phone as well. Nothing seemed to help me so far.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Thank you
Mahesh

[Q] What is a modem and can it solve my reception issues? topic

hey guys
i tried understanding by myself what exactly the modem does in a cellphone but since the term/word modem is so common it was hard to get results for the exact thing i want to understand.

my reception issue is this:
im from israel in a network called "Golan-T", using my previous phone, a nexus 4, i had great internet access and cell reception, 90% of the time i had 4/4 bars and the internet was H+ with speeds of 5-10Mbps (normal speeds here in israel)

now on my nexus 5, im there is a constant issue with the above
the bars go from 2-3 RAPIDSLY, meaning they could switch between 1-3 bars every 2-5 seconds, which i suspect not only means a terribly low signal, but also destroys my battery life
2nd, for some reason i NEVER get H+, but i assume the icon for + just might no be there in the nexus 5, but i get the same every few seconds change cycle with 3g (which gives me speeds of under 1MBps and i cant do ANYTHING not even google now searches) and H, which also changes every few seconds.

yesterday i drove for over an hour with Waze and didnt have internet for even 1 second.

so - after the above long story
i was wondering what could be a solution and someone tossed my way that the modem could be the issue and that it can be flashed, so i was hoping i could get some guidance here

Reception topic

Hello,

I recently upgraded from Xperia Arc S to Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505.
I bought my device from Hong Kong, with HK firmware. After I opened the package I put my SIM inside,
the reception was not very good. I was instructed by the company to use GSM only since there is no
LTE network in Israel as of today.

I flashed a couple of ROMs since and today I am on MIUI v5 which is my favorite, the reception remains
the same in all ROMs, quite bad compared to my old Xperia Arc S.

I was wondering about basebands and modems, I have been watching those two names floating around
the forums quite a bit and I never got around to playing with those.

So my questions are as follows:
1. Is there a different between modem and baseband or are these two just different words that refers to the same thing?
2. Does changing a baseband/modem can help get better reception?
3. If the answer to 2 is yes, which one should I get?

Thanks,
Oded

Motorola Moto G Xt1032 - no IMEI code and no reception topic

Hi all,


I have messed up my Moto G really badly, but now I'm really close to sort this out.
My last problem is with IMEI code, actually it don't have any so I can't get reception.
When I bought the phone, I have unlocked it, everything was fine, but recently I accidentally done rm -r * in root directory, when I was using CWM recovery, since that have lots of problems :mad:..

I had similar issue with Gionee E6 but I found imei file in the phone and recreate IMEI number.
In Moto G I can't find imei file so don't know hot to fix this.

Please let me know how to recreate IMEI number.


Many thanks
Chris
