hey, has anyone had any luck getting service on the official JB rom? im using a debloated version of the official JB on the BLAZE modem, my provider is Mobilicty. im getting around 3 bars on the modem but the top of my note is over heating, but i never had this problem on ICS . Do you guys know of any other modem that would work on 1700MHz networks without over heating issues??
help??

thanks for the reply. thats the same one that im using at the moment but the back of my phone keeps heating up when im using mobile data. im wondering is there a different modem that would work on mobilicity?
Heat is normal for me under data usage. Every phone does that.
For the modems, just keep trying different ones until you find the one that works best for you. There is no 100% guaranteed to work modem for everyone. Good luck

Bad news. Phone isn't compatible with 1700mhz frequency. Might be out of luck. Sorry

I'm wrong! Lol thank you for posting Shane. So now it basically narrows down for the best modem that works for you.
There might be a Wind/Mobilicity thread around here somewhere. Wish you luck
Maybe here?

Im with wind and use the telus modem which gets wicked speed. When using a cm based rom yhere is no need to tweak but if using a TW based rom do this trick, go into dial pad and input *#2263# then chose wcdma then pick 850 band, exit out and then go back in again via *#2263# and pick auto, wait a few secs and run a speed test. Mine hits around 2500 to 3000 which kill my hd2 at 1600 to 2000

Then install Jeet's Test 4 Modem from here

You'll get good data speed's and Tmobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature which is very useful if you are in a place with weak reception.
So I was reading the posts that you put up? I'm not quite sure which is the TMobile ROM. Not only that they said to flash with dd. Hm just a little confused.

Yeah I'm using stock ROM rooted with stock modem. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is using 1900mhz for LTE and ATT uses 1700. Really digging the late though. Download and upload isn't a big concern but the ping has dropped to about half of what it was. Very happy with T-Mobile. I think the lte will spread quickly like their 4G did.

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

Oh wow this is awesome!!!! Could you please get into your ServiceMode (dial *#0011#) and take a screenshot of your ServiceMode?
Did you change any of your APN settings in order to access LTE or you're running default epc.tmobile.com ?
Thanks!
I'll post a picture of it in service mode around 5pm. I'm at work right now and LTE isnt coming through the building very well. Also to answer your APN question I am indeed running the stock epc.tmobile.com. also thanks for clearing up the frequency bands ok both networks I wasn't quite sure.

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!
Oh wow. Makes sense. Glad I could help and I'm sure this would help others too.

Does anyone know if there is an AT&T modem flashable zip for the N4 converted LGOG? I'm using .33 modem now, but I'd like to have the AT&T modem for better LTE speeds.
Also, is there development out there for an AT&T modem with working GPS? I don't mind having .33 and AT&T modems both on my SD card and flash whichever one I need based on GPS/LTE, but it would be nice to have only the AT&T modem so I don't have to switch back and forth.

This is interesting - I'm running the .33 modem and find that me GPS works the best with this modem and with LTE I've hit download speeds of 53MB.
I'd be interested to have the AT&T modem as well just to see if there is performance difference between the two - could I get it as well?

hmmm...man, you may just want to start from scratch and download the ROM of your choice and wipe/format /system and all the usual stuff.
THat would be the first place I would start with an issue like this.
Just noticed with the ATT modem I can choose the network mode (gsm,etc) but the other ones don't give the option and also when searching for network ATT modem shows two possible ATT connections, others show one.

Hey guys I was messing with some modems and I think I flashed the wrong one and now I can't get signal to make phone calls. Does anyone have a link to the Verizon modems so I can get my signal back. I also tried restoring a nandroid backup but it restores with no signal. Oh yeah is the radio the same as the modem? Thanks.

Right on man! I'm up and running again. Thanks a million, just wondering what's the difference with the different radios?
I flashed all 3 radios and all 3 just give me a 3g signal. Maybe its because I'm indoors, idk, I'll see what it looks like when I step outside.

They were just the radios that were included in the VZW updates, most times there is little difference.
It really depends on what area you are in and how strong your tower is, everyone experiences something different.

Yo bro, um the radios are great but all I get is a 3g signal all the time. I thought if I went outside I might see a 4g but nothing. Is there a 4g radio around where you can point me to.

They are all LTE/CDMA/EvDO radios. You should check mobile settings and make sure you have it set to either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO. If that doesn't work we need to know what ROM you're on to begin with.

If you go to the dev section, there are 2 of the latest radios. With Vramc3 being the last released. You will just have to try them out to see which one works best in your area. Look under the multi thread.
Will do most definitely thanks!!
