Hello, since my last phone was S. Wave 8500 and the 3g+ connection was much better, i use a lot the my phone as acess point, i lose connection many times, when i travel by train, and in Wave i didnt.
I have VR2.4.2 rom, KH3 modem and my network provider is Optimus.
Can anyone point the right direction so i can have the same good use of mobile acess point?
Thks
Ive heard of people here in spain using the KG2 modem.Give it a try i think its suppose to be good.Might work in your region too.If not try another

Hi all,
i'm searching for the best (well, at the moment) radio to use in italy.
Usually i use 3 as operator and umts is the only choice.
Does anybody of you already tested out some rom which thinks it's better than others?
I tried the latest 1.5x but they seem to be not so stable.
Sometimes my hermes ask me for the pin as it lost the signal.
Some others it freezes.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

I could have sworn 3 used GSM and 3G networks, otherwise they would have very little coverage. Anyone else like to comment?
As for the Radio's, unless you find someone on the same network, with the same phone in the same area you wont know without trying them. Personally my first upgrade was to 1.50.00 then I moved to 1.54.07 which I am finding to be very good.
Hi,
I have a SE Xperia X10i that I purchased the other week which I had unlocked via the SE servers in a phone shop as I wanted to explore the full potential of this phone. Now it is second hand so bear this in mind....
It was originally locked to the Three network in the UK, I was on O2.
The original phone had 2.1 Android on it.
After having it unlocked I rooted the phone and also installed xRecovery version 3 and then installed CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 V3 from 19/08/2011 which is Android 2.3 and also Baseband .71.. I love this ROM thanks to zdzihu for producing this.
I have a problem with my network service.. It drops in and out all the time.. sometimes and can have a full signal at one location and return to that location 2 hours later and get the dreaded (No Service).. Also if I go into searching networks.. it also says no network providers can be found.. even when I have a signal!!!!
I jave tried the SIM in another phone LG and it works fine at that location. I have also tried another SIM, 02 in the phone and I get the same network drop out behaviour.. I go into Bristol every day.. quite a klarge city in the UK and I am sure that the coverage is there.. well actually I know it's there..
Now I have I got a Baseband problem or a phone hardware problem?
Anyone that could help I would be grateful of assistance.
Many Thanks.
Anyone??
Okay as I didn't get a reply to the original post I shall try a different tact....
As I am getting very intermittent phone signals (GPRS/3G) etc and the WiFi and GPS is okay would it be possible to downgrade the BaseBand version as I assume that this is what drives the functionality of 2G and 3G signals?
I am currently on the following:
Model X10i
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-zdzihu-19082011
Mod Ver: ZMOD
Build Number: CM7-ZDZIHU-MOD.
I know the Basebands are location dependent, well some of them. I live in the South West of the UK if it's important
Many Thanks
Paul
You could try switching to another rom, who knows, or maybe switching to another sim card

Yeah I have tried 2 other sims from different operators and also about 5 different ROMS.. (Wolf, Ultima, TEAM etc) No change... I just wondered what the process was to try a different BB.. (lower version).. If not I may have a HW problem..
Thanks for the response.

Try downgrading to 2.1 with baseband .67/.54 and see if that resolves your issue. If not, then it may indeed be a hardware fault.

I`m alone with this problem???
No mate, you are not alone, I just changed the stock rom for Sensation and I reckon I upgraded teh baseband as well to KH3 and now I am experimenting some trouble when connecting, before my network outside was faster and more reliable whenever I was but now I can hardly connec when outside and I certainly cannot connect only 2G, it only works if I have it in auto mode. The main problem is that I cannot remember what my former baseband was...
Sorry to bump but also have this issue. Vodafone uk with resurrection 1.3. Anything work best with ICS, vodafone uk? The current ones im trying are making it worse if anything.
Not long ago I flew from Oslo to Moscow and my phone had one of the latest GB-ROMs. In Oslo my phone worked like it should, but when I landed in Moscow I couldn't get any connection. Fortunetly I had several modem files on my phone and I flashed one of them and got connection.
This time with an ICS-rom (LP2) which is Russian I have no problems in Norway nor Russia.
How can we know if our phones with the installed modem version will work when we are travelling Wordwide? For us with rooted phone we can stack a bunch om modem files when we are travelling but for those who haven't rooted they will have a problem.
I can't beleive it should be like this. Or maybe my experience was out of the ordinary and a one time case?
You can't know for certain, apart from other users' experience with using various modems with different networks (or your own). Different modems work better with different networks sometimes. Fact of life.
If you've got a rooted phone, keep your modem collection on your SD card so you can flash them with CWM when you travel.
People without rooted phones, bad luck. They can talk to their carrier about poor reception or data speeds. Us who like to mess around with our phones can do something about it (try different modems).
SGS2 is no different to any other phone, some networks & in some areas you're going to have problems with reception/data.
I'm creating this thread for anyone running on a 3HG network. There seems to be problems with custom firmware not being able to differentiate between the 2G and 3G networks.
I'll explain. I'm currently using a custom ROM and very happy, however, the stock rom seems to have some built in special features to detect the 2g and 3g portion of the 3 network separately and ban roaming unto other networks. (For example, O2, vodefone etc say (not allowed) next to them when searching with stock rom.) I know 3 does not run their own 2g network and the 2G portion is "roaming" onto vodefone without charge. Even though the phone detects the 2G portion as "3", whenever you connect to it the phone goes into Roaming mode. However the stock rom default is to "Allow National Roaming" (An option not present in my custom rom) and the stock rom then bans other networks besides 3 so that you can't accumulate massive data charges.)
I assumed that this feature was built into the .csc portion of the stock ROM. However, this is not the case.
I was able to download the csc portion of my rom from androidfirmware.net.
Unfortunately, I did not solve me problem. I'm on 3 Ireland. My stock rom can breakdown the network information into two networks:
3 (3g)
3 (2g)
It then selects the best one based on signal.
Unfortunately, myl custom rom (omega 13.1) just see two networks named as:
3
3
It doesn't switch back to 3g ever. It's a shame, I thought flashing the csc and modem from stock rom would fix this but it doesn't. I might have to always run stock firmware.
On another note, for those interested in modem files, regardless of which 3 Network you are on, you MUST run either NELF1 or NELE modem on your rom. I have extensively tested all modems and 3UK/IE are setup to specifically work best with these two modems. The download speeds are very fast, but more importantly they are consistent. I was able to obtain better speeds with some other modems but it would stall and hang and drop. These speed bursts did not make it faster overall. My signal was about 1/3 of the 3uk modems with all other tested modems. If you flash any custom rom you will notice a vast improvement in battery life, signal and consistency using one of the above modems

I have not tested between the two, I tried the latest version NELF1 and was blown away by the difference so just kept it. Cheers!
Any help with the above network differentiation problem would be appreciated. Feel free to post your thoughts or comments or suggestions.
Thanks.
Its well known that the NE modem range are better and even better than stock for some on non 3 networks
First general release was. 3 Ireland
Firmware info: PDA: XXALE8 | Phone: NELE4 | CSC: 3IEALE3
UK 3
Firmware info: PDA: XXALE8 | Phone: NELE4 | CSC: H3GALE4
Same modem different CSC
jje
I run every sort of Rom on my phone and never have those problems.
Using XXDLH9 modem now and pulling 6mbps down and 2-3mbps up and I live in the country, haven't used NELE4 since the day I got the phone.
Also in regards to the roaming and the massive charges, you won't incur any charges when you roam in Ireland, it will use Vodafone and that's it, even then they only let you use 2g data too and that's not charged either.
You must get poor signal where you are seeing as it keeps dropping back to 2g, try going into settings > more settings > mobile networks > network mode and changing it to wcdma only wait a few minutes and see how you get on.
To add to that: as far as I know NELE4 and NELF1 won't work on new firmwares. Voice calls get messed up, you can't hear them or they can't hear you.

Hey lads,
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem. I'm on three ireland. I've an old galaxy s young with always stays on H/H+ and never drops to egde no matter where you are where as my new S4 consistently drops to edge over H when coverage is low.. is there any solution to this problem? I've flashed on the three firmware from sammobile but it's no fix!
Eoghan.
I'd also like to find out if a solution was found for this? Does anyone know how to go about modifying modems or something along those lines that could solve the issue?
