Hi all, I have a at&t atrix v4.5.91 and rooted. Using it in ireland but im having trouble, people say when on a call they can't here me to well . Could it be I need a european radio.img or maybe I have a problem?

I had this issue as well, it seems as though the mic on some Atrix models does not work as well, you should get the phone replaced by your cellular provider.

Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to android stuff, so bear with me .
About a week back I bought this Motorola Photon 4g for Sprint off craigslist and used the kddi radii trick to make it work on GSM networks, namely T-Mobile. Right now imeon the hybrid 2.3.5 rom, but even when I was in the stock sprint rom, the carrier name randomly shows up as T-Mobil instead of T-Mobile. Is there any way to fix this other than spoofing the carrier name? Thanks for the help!
From what I know, the name is stored in SIM card, try to replace it with carrier.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'm actually planning on doing that soon anyway . The strange thing is it sometimes shows the full name T-Mobile, I'm still trying to figure that out haha

Where is the trick?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
My phone does this too, I'm not sure why. To me it seems like it says 'T-Mobil' when signal is pretty weak, but i have overall weak signal in my apartment so it could just be me making a bad guess.
same thing
i also have the same thing, but i haven't noticed it till you have mention it.
i guess it belongs to 2G/3G. coz when you are having connected to 2G it tells you T-mobil
while when you are connected to 3G it tells you T-mobile.
pleas tell me if i'm right
Can you not get tmobiles 4g or is it because bootloader is unlocked?

Tmobiles 4g is HSPA+ which is technically 3g
Jellybean Poppin MoPho
You guys must be in the refarm area cause the 3g frequencies are the same as the iPhone's. I'm still waiting on that . Btw I got a new SIM and it hasn't said T-mobil yet so maybe it's just a certain kind of sim that does it?

I purchased a galaxy s3 international version about a month ago. The phone was working fine for about a month until yesterday, my phone is getting very little or no signal at all. also, when i connect my phone to my car, the phone will start calling itself. i performed a factory reset and the bluetooth problem was gone, but the phone is still getting very little to no signal. wifi is working fine. i called Rogers, my service provider. all they ask me to do was to buy a new sim card or remove the battery from the phone and wait. none of those helped... :crying: i'm kind of desperate here as i can't figure out what went wrong with it... my phone is not rooted or anything... if someone can help me out, i would really really appreciate it. :crying::crying:
Unless you are willing to start flashing modems to your phone there isn't much we can do for you.
Best bet is to keep pestering your carrier if you don't wanna root and modify your phone.

thx for the quick reply. So rooting my phone and flash a new rom is the only solution? :crying: is it possible it's hardware problem?
Not a Rom, not before trying modems anyway.
It may be hardware related, you should keep pestering your carrier for a replacement.
If it world fine before then chances are its a hardware issue or the cell tower near you is down.

i just found out in my mobile network setting under access point names, there's LTE ththering and Rogers LTE, could this be the problem? cus my phone doesn't have LTE maybe that's why? sorry, i'm not very good at phone stuff, it's just my random guess...
Is your phone International I9300 ????
Or are you possibly and no offense meant in the wrong forum ??##

Did you try with a SIM of other network? This may at least point out that either it is network problem or hardware problem.

I don't have another micro SIM... I tried flashing different modem and firmware. But none of them works... the phone is connected to the network, just the signal is extremely low all of a sudden... I had an software update 3 days ago, maybe that's why?

I got a ATT unlocked Atrix 4G for my parents in India. In US I used it with both ATT and t-mobile and everything was fine.
In India, my Parents have BSNL SIM and Atrix does not connect to the GSM network. Also tried using Vodafone SIM and the same issue.
Can connect to Wifi and add BLUR account.
Can some one throw some ideas on fixing this.
All your time is most appreciated.
Thanks

Check what baseband you are using ? I have AT&T Atrix and it worked fine when I went to India. Even 3G worked fine.
If it is in the USA baseband flash radio again (only if u r unlocked).
If u r not unlocked flash the correct sbf (be very very careful) and ask people before flashing.

Check baseband version from aboutphone. Which firmware are you using?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Radio is most probably stuck to US only
Well something very similar happened to me when i first brought it here to india, it got stuck to us only frequency or something check by dialing *#*#INFO*#*#.
Now if you do not intent to unlock your bootloader and use a custom rom simply plug it in to Motorola software updater and re-install the latest update from there. It fixed the issue for me and effect is similar to installing a SBF but within more secure environment.
I have a ATT Atrix bought in US working for the last 1.5 years in India. Dial the chars between quotes "*#*#4636#*#*". Then under "phone information" check if it is in USA band. If in USA band, only way out is to flash the radio if your phone is having unlocked boot loader and is rooted else you need to flash using SBF. Be very careful while doing this. Do a thorough reading in this forum about flashing radios to avoid bricking your device.

Hey guys! Soon I'll be buying a G2 outright. I'm on Telus in Canada and I'm just wondering if it really matters what variant I buy. I see a few different models available to buy unlocked and just wanna be sure there's no big difference for me which one I buy.
I suppose if they'll all work just fine, then I should go with the best dev supported model....if there is one.
Thanks for any input.

All the phones in Canada are the D803 version but I got mine through Wind Mobile which is the D801 and came factory unlocked.
Software versions between the 2 are different as well but I'm not sure what is different.
I'm not sure if there are any major differences between the Canadian models but things I saw through xda are that my D801 from Wind is missing the 3rd mic located by the flash. I haven't tried it yet, but I read that this affects the audio zoom function by rendering it barely recognizable and/or useless.
Also, not sure if you would care (but matters to me) is that I am unable to set my D801 LG G2 camera to mute without rooting and flashing another rom.
Thanks! So 803 may be best then. I see just about all the variants available. So maybe I'll focus on the 803.
I'm really hoping signal strength is better than my S2. I gotta go outside where I live to talk or text. Lol

Awesome! Really bad signal where I live....but my wife's iPhone 4s works in the house, usually, and my S2 never does. Grrrr!

Can anyone confirm that the LTE bands on the Rogers D803 are the same as Bellus?
I may go with a d802....at this point there seems to be more development for it. We'll see in a bit when I'm ready to buy if that changes or not. But seems there isn't much for the 803.

Yes they both use AWS for LTE (Bell and Rogers also have access to BRS 2600, but TELUS doesn't).
I'm using D802
