Root [International] Low signal since 4.3

[Rudedawg]

Anyone on Djembey Mke using the MKE modem notice a lower signal since updating? I'm on EE in Southampton and I'm rarely on 1 bar maybe 2 max. Signal drops to E in my office now have checked with EE and no reported problems.

Similar here. Might just try an older modem

Mk8 flashed, all is working so far......

Think I'll follow suit

I'm on EE using MKE firmware+modem
I can't say I've noticed any difference, but let me know how you get on with MK8 modem. I'll give it a go if it's looking good.

Much better on this. Now no drop out and stronger signal again. Happy days...

Ok Syd, you've twisted my arm.....

Monkey see... monkey do!

It does seem to be a better signal, at my desk, on MK8, over MKE. Will need to test it further though.

For now, nice one Syd! :thumb:

We all know where the real testing is done though....

No difference for me at all. Still 0 bars and E when indoors. Probably the area though as a mate from london was down and his HTC had 1 to 0 bars in this workplace . Honestly EE has been getting worse. Probably time for a switch next year.

Guy sat opposite us on his Lumia 700 on O2 had full signal. Irritating when a mast sits in the middle of our car park.

After 4 days on the MK8 modem, I can honestly say that there is no difference, for me, to the MKE modem in the various locations I have tested it.

You're not the only one having problems with EE in the UK and their signals as these two articles point out...

I trust this assessment is based on a thorough testing process........the landlord at the TZ must love new modem releases......

As do the landlords of The Hunters, Kings Head and Red Lion!
