Hi everyone Im a noob around here so i wasn't allowed to reply over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718&highlight=frequency&page=1891
so i'd be glad if any full user could forward my concern over there.
The issue at hand is not trivial since it involves changing GSM or WCDMA frequencies on a ROM which has Samsungs Service Mode not included (at least not accessible as usual). This tool used to do the job pretty well (just see this link http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...rk-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html) and now its gone. Maybe there's a workaround, an app or a terminal code to do this. Or maybe that'ld be a fancy new implementation to this great ROM, since i've been googling around the solution without any success and since there are so many worldwide android users which use a different variety of network frequencies determined by their carrier.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, let me restate that for you. Frequencies are hardware dependant and software enabled. You might have a cuatriband phone only enabled to use one of the bands with the remaining three bands being "dormant" so to speak. I recommend the lecture of this link for that purpose:
just realized I can't post outside URLs so plz just google * # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # * and read the first link Or just read the link from androidforums I've posted before.
Moreover, I've flashed at&t's official ROM, enabled my specific 3g band used by my carrier (through Samsung Service Mode)and voila, data again. But i can't do this in AOKPs ROM since SSM is not enabled or is missing. Maybe there's a known app or terminal code to do this on AOKP.
Thanks again

Oh like this supports 850 and 1900 I believe, are you saying that you're trying to force it to use one or the other? I'm not sure of a command like that that works on aokp.

Yeah exactly, right now my carrier supports only 3g through WCDMA 850 mhz which is unabled by default. I´m trying to force this frequency through AOKP but I can´t seem to find how. Maybe task would know better.
Thanks!

What about the Tmo GSII, I can run that modem on my 717 and it can run the TMO note modem
There is an SII modem floating around -- its the VLK1.

We can and i am, and its running pretty good, just a lot of battery drainage :/
but here you go, it works very clean on mine, got almost double speeds.

Amigo, please try it. You might get a good result.
Since they are galaxy s phones you can flash the modems but not all will work. I was trying other modems Thursday, and even though I got bars and I could enter the APN and activate data, the phone was sooo laggy.
Many users tried the new modem and had the same lag problems. But exeriment and report back. If you get a bad result you only have to flash your old modem, not restore your system.
thats the one I tried, it totally lagged my phone out
Why can't it work? Maddening, I know. The US t-mobile frequencies and the two bands used is the issue. They went rogue with that two band scheme and now there's always issues using any hardware on their network.
Would it be possible to swap out the hardware, specifically the modem chip, or is it soldered on there?
Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
The mainboard contains the processors, video, modem, and sound. Not possible to swap chips.
It seems like trading hardware with other xda'ers would be easier and more sure. xda has a sale or trade section.
so do even know if it will be possible to generate a working, better modem from the tmo more at all, or is it just a really difficult task?

the modem file is a binary file that seems like nobody is able to decompile or whatever.
Its always like this throughout the forums --people get a phone made for one network then struggle to make it work on the other.

the truth makes me sad
So when you say "seems" and "struggle" I take that as being very difficult but not necessarily impossible¿
Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
Nothing is impossible ...
But unless a serious interest is taken by developers who know and understand the coding, and how this code integrates into the chipset,
Then you probably won't see progress.
I'm guessing it would take development at the manufacturer level ....to pull it off.
And carrier/manufacturer relationships are often set in stone. It's amazing that our talented developers are able to glean so much for us, given the fact that often times, they have little or nothing to work with, yet they manage to give us some pretty awesome work ..g
Just wondering if these could run tmobile roms would love to bring back wifi calling natively rather than using apps and things of that nature. Tried a few searches on here couldn't come up with anything that was solid.
You can make ROMs for other carrier work, but not without some extra work to replace certain files. However, wifi calling requires carrier support. It's not a feature that's going to work on Verizon. The phone system has to know how to route your number, and it can't do that without carrier support.

Ahh ok because I know on the I317 I can put a tmobile rom on it and I am able to use the wifi calling feature I thought maybe it would be a similar process.

If it is a TW ROM you can flash Scotts patch afterwards and will be fine. AOSP will require some modifying but its honestly fairly easy to get it up and running. If there are bugs you'll have difficulty figuring them out but with help from the community you would most likely be able to debug and fix any issues.

I like the WiFi calling feature. Right now with service FUBAR in my area for what they say is a couple of weeks I actually need it. Could it be as simple as transferring a few apks like the phone, etc... or is it more complex than that. Forgive my ignorance in advance I just switched to T Mobile to get custom recovery back but I am running into all sorts of weird stuff I haven't seen before. I guess it's 4.4 related or even bugs in the S5 rollout.
I have a rooted SM-G900T with custom recovery to address the reply below. I want to be able to have wifi calling on any klte device Firmware based ROM-- namely the SM-G900F Firmware based ROMs.
Thanks a lot for any help at all....

You need either:
1. Native T-Moble phone with wi-fi calling standard like SM-G900T.
2. If you're rooted w/ non-stock ROM (but still has to be T-Mobile phone), the ROM you're using needs to be based off stock Tmo firmware and have the correct code in it to work.
You will not get wi-fi calling on non-Tmo phone or non-Tmo firmware (like int'l firmware runnng on Tmo phone).

Sorry for being vague, I meant computer code (programming language) for the Wifi calling to work. This will only work on native Tmo phones.

So, it's built into TMo's Firmware overlay? Since all these models are identical it stands to reason that firmware could be altered and/or apks added to make it work. The "code" might be applied or incorporated. Might. Unless it's proprietary. After all the SM-G900T hardware is identical to a SM-G900F.

With that out of the way let's talk about what we have here. Currently, the Nexus 6P does not have band 12 activated. Well, that's what we were told. The initial OTA received disabled the band but Google did not remove the factory image for whatever reason. With that being said, here is a quick write up of the steps you need to take and the prerequisites to doing this.
The prerequisites are
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Fastboot enabled
The steps are simple
1. Download this radio https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347853575
2. Reboot your 6P into bootloader mode.
3. Open up command prompt or terminal.
4. Use cd to go to the directory where the radio downloaded
5. Type is "fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-01.29.img"
6. Type "fastboot reboot"
7. Profit.
This will allow you to access band 12 lte. This also will give you VoLTE over band 12. This is good news as it gives you calls over lte for 911 calls. That being said there is a reason Google disabled this so keep that in mind.
This information is based off of a thread I was following that I am unable to find. This is not my discovery. This a centralized location for information.
Initial discussion is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3233975
Good looking out
Yeah this is amazing. I was thinking of returning the phone till now. Band 12 is a must in my area.
So if we do this is the newest radio available? Thanks

I could be wrong but I think only radios sent OTA can be repacked into a zip. Don't quote me on that

This is extremely easy. I may eventually make a zip if I have time. This actually is the oldest radio BTW. No idea why Google released it.

Is this strictly for T-Mo customers or is there a benefit for everyone even on Verizon for unlocking this band?
On T-Mobile. Everyone else should follow the proper radios.
Project fi aswell perhaps?
I'd like to know this as well.
It should work with Fi also. Any band 12 carriers.
Since no one else has asked yet, what are the downsides for activating this on Tmo/Fi?
Root required?

No downsides. Unless I'm missing something. The phone has volte over band 12 so 911 calls should work.
I use an ATT unlocked variant of s21 5G
1: It overheats excessively, you cant even game on it
2: When gaming, the touch sensitivity is very low despite turning on increased sensitivity in settings
Anyone know why or give a possible solution, my guess is because its still stuck on One Ui 3 and Android 11

I can't say why with any certainty, but can say I would never want a carrier rom on my phone, I always switch to an 'open' version as it rids you of the carrier bloat and and restrictions etc they put in their roms.
Granted, that doesn't work for everyone as they are 'tied' to a specific carrier. So, if that's the case, I'd look for info about whatever that specific rom / carrier problems exist.
But, if you can go with any carrier you want, go with one like Mint Mobile, which allows volte, vowifi, and 'open' rom phones, like the S21. It's easy enough to find how to use Odin to flash an 'open' rom also.
One additional thing you would accomplish by doing the above; you'll discover if the issues you're experiencing are the fault of the current rom, or they are hardware related. Not sure how else you would test that hypothesis other than doing the exact above?
good luck
