Hi everybody,
i read several forums regarding the gsm noise problem during a phonecall in 2g (gsm mode) with the Xperia S.
For those devices, it doesn't matter if you change the carrier or the the Simcard itself, it is still the same effect.
1) I have unrooted german Xperia S, running the newest manufacturer version 4.0.4
Carrier is T-Mobile
2) My work partner has the same phone but with carrier branding (T-Mobile) , running newest manufacturer version 4.0.4
Carrier is T-Mobile
What i alread did:
- I put my sim card in the branded 2) phone and didn't had those gsm noises in 2g mode.
- I figured out that he has also a better Wifi receiption at the exact same position then my 1) phone
- I took a look at the baseband version and saw that he has a newer one than me with his branded phone ? (Attachment)
The search function didn't brought me further so i was forced to creat this thread in the Q&A area (hopefully the right one)
I want to upgrade my baseband version to the same mentioned version.
Guess I have to root it first etc.
Anyway, is there any database with baseband versions for the Xperia s incl. tutorial etc. ?
Thanks for helping in advance

hi guys,
i have the following problem with magicsim 28th (no cut) on my xperia arc (originally with android 2.3.3, now i have just updated the phone with the latest SE updates but on the phone info still remain the android version 2.3.3...but the software on the phone has changed!!)
I switch between the two sim card with the STK menu, but when i use the sim 2 there isn't 3G connection! i have to switch off the phone to obtain 3G connection.
I've tried a workaround with flight mode but it doesn't work.
Before the update the 3G connection works fine .
Anyone with my problem?
Thanks
Sherman

sorry wrong forum
I've posted in the correct forum (ARC)

Sorry to post T-01C question in TG01 forum. This Android phone is from NTT Docomo , and in China we use a cracked SIM sticker ( Mr SIM ) to cheat the network so as to make phone calls. But today I accidently chose the Radio Band GSM/UMTS as USA band, now I cannot switch it back and lost and network connection. I know you guys have been using T-01C’s Android Kernel to develop TG01’s Android Rom, could anyone give me some suggestion how to get the right Radio back? When the radio is on there is only one option US band to select; if radio is off, there are more options like AU , JAPAN band etc., but no matter which one I choose, just cannot set it successfully even the system is rooted.
T-01C have been updated in May from OS 2.1 to 2.2 while Radio from 5011.1906.50 to 5014.1906.11. Now I download the 2.2 ROM from official website and try to use T01C_SWUpdater01.apk to flash, it fails because I already use the latest OS.
Could anyone help me on this? Thanks for reading!
Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards

[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions,
WHY ???

Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first
Hy. I have some quoestions about my phone S2 Winmax
First - Can i use an S2 LTE HD ron to install on my phone?
Second - Can anyone help me to unlock it? It is locked on KDDI Japan. I have searched on many sites and found something, but they are asking for IMEI, and on my phone i have MEID. But the phone has a slot for sim card.
Third - If i can unlock it can i use it on a Gsm network? I know that the phone is CDMA and GSM.
Thanks in advance
1. I would stay away from flashing roms until the phone is understood more and developers start making roms for it.
2. unfortunately you need to search for an pnline company that supports the wimacx versions. You could explain the situation and they mayber able to help you unlock the phone.
3. Yes, depending on what bands the phone supports, you may need to gfo with bell or telus as they have support for cdma/gsm phones.
Hi all.. i have been facing this issue for quite some time and no one seems to have a proper answer to the problem i have..I have At&t HTC One X+ and i m rooted, using ViperXL 2.0.0 JB 4.1.1. and i have S-ON. Well the problem is while in USA i used this phone with the same rom and the at&t sim work well and wifi was fine. When i came back to my country (Pakistan), and got it country unlocked the local sim works fine, but the wifi disconnects as soon as i insert the sim. The wifi works if i take out the sim and change the wifi country code to US using SQ Lite editor and then reboot WITHOUT SIM, other wise it again picks up PK as the wifi country code from the sim.
Tried all the softwares, WifiFix Manager and WifiCodes but none seem to be working.
I believe that Wififixmanager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1445766) works on ICS only not on JB. I need a program that :
1) Changes the wifi country code while sim is on.
2) upon reboot still manages to keep the change of the country code.
Is their anyonewho can actually take a look at this..
Thanks & Regards
Optimus.

Bro as i told you earlier... you have to s-off your phone in terms of custom kernel to be properly flashed!
start rooting from scratch by using this tool kit and the step by step guide by hasoon2000 here is the link of his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
after that setup the market unlocker settings as i told you earlier (when you came to my office - i hope you remember them)
if the above doesn't help then sell your mobile to me lol i will get its a*s fixed or die trying!
