GPRS, EDGE in Motorola Defy with CM10.2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello:
I'm cuban. A year ago I got a Motorola Defy (MB525). I had the same problems that everyone: my phone got freeze all the time and with the cuban wheather, more often yet!!! I started to study and now I use CM. Right now I have CM10.2 by Quarx on my phone. I feel fine with it! I update it almost every week
Recently Cuba has offered the service of GPRS and EDGE. Here is my problem:
It is a reality that the connection in Cuba is the worst ever seen. I get the GPRS service in order to have e-mail on my phone, and everything was fine till all the people started to use it. After that I can't get connected during the day AT ALL. In the night, right now it is very difficult. I can't check my e-mail until 2, 3 o 4 am. Surely that's because all the traffic in the net but my friends with iPhones and smartphones with stock ROMs get connected almost every time they want!!!!!! That freaks me out!!! Now, I don't know what is wrong. I switched to CM11 for a week and the result was the same. I've tested all the american basebands (with this app: MFUNZ_DEFY.BasebandSwitcherV4.1.apk) and nothing. I have selected the 2G and 3G indistinctively and nothing. I don't know what to do to get better in this aspect. I have only left to switch to my stock ROM and see what happens but I don't want that and all the Defy user should know why.
I know cuban problems are weird but I cannot change that. Could be the CyanogenMod ROM that doesn't develop this aspect so much???
I will appreciate any suggestion. Please, can anyone help me???
Sorry about my english, I did my best.
Thank you all!

Sprint mogul Titan WM6.1 Rom update killed exchange ser. activesync

(Sorry in advance for the long Email also I believe I may have posted it in the wrong secrtion earlier today) I purchased a Mogul from RS about three weeks ago. For the first week, it worked great! I logged into my company exchange server down loaded and synced email, cal,contacts,tasks ... was very excited. I also got very excited when I started t read threads in this blog .... it seems like there are some pretty smart members maybe someone can help!!
Noticed that there was a new Rom (sprint TV and improved connection) installed the ROM.
Have spent endless hours with HTC technical support, sprint technical support (not an appropriate name). At times managed to get the email to load but never again Cal, Tasks, contacts. Always able to get sent emails to load. I'm left with a couple of alternatives (any others would be greatly appreciated (actually I really like this phone but I need my email,schedule,etc to work) The error is 0x8503001C there is no exact description about this from MSmobile it seems to be an awh**** code. Searching on the web provides 1000s of hits unfortunately not just my issue.
o Go to an early Rom WM6.0. So far it seems like to do this I need to unlock the phone then flash the earlier rom?? Since no SIM card I need to hack the registry?? There are several products out there which is best (I do not mind paying for something that works well). I down loaded several "Oficial ROm versions ... unfortunately did not write down the number of the one the phone came with.
o Find some way of getting this thing to work well to keep the extra features
o My grace period ends in a week ... cancel with Sprint go to Att but there is not a 3G phone I like ... only Iphone ... it has issues for exchange server??
o I got my wife a Touch at the same time (it runs WM6.1) same issue. Downloaded once my corp email no cal, etc.
o I was told that this Rom was cooked up by MS & Sprint what a disaster
Please, please help ... Thanks in advance

Wifi Problem

Hey guys,
I hope someone can help me or give me some good advices.
I have a wifi problem. Before the GS2 I had the HTC HD2 and never had any big problems with wifi. No matter if I was home or in the uni, it was always great.
With the GS2 though, its a wonder to get a good wifi signal.
I know when I say now, that I just have 1 line at the wifi bar you guys gonna kill me!!
I don't care about if it's 1 line or 2, the problem is, that this 1 line I lose everytime I wanna use the net. I never had this problem before. Also I can tell, that this problem I have everywhere I am. In the uni I have 1-2 lines, at my favourite cafe I have 0-1 lines just like at home. This is driving me crazy. I can't use the net at all like this. I don't have any other problems, not at all, just this wifi problem. I'm not sure if this pictures I took are useful, but I tried something out.
I did the speed test with the speedtest.net app in 4 different ways.
1. Picture: I hold the phone the normal way.
2. Picture: I hold the phone normal but raised my arm in the air.
3. Picture: I turned the phone around and hold it that way.
4. Picture: I turned the phone around and raised my arm in the air.
I hope someone can help me or give me any advices.
I love this phone. It's the best phone I have ever had so far, but I hate the bad wifi signal...
Same here
I used to have signal with other devices, yet with Galaxy S II, I get very poor signal!
I haven't noticed this with mine, I find the reception wifi and otherwise very good. Have you flashed a new modem? Maybe that's the issue?
Well I flashed alot so far, but always the same thing. Always bad signal. Now I'm back to stock rom with root, nothing else.
I have no problems with my wifi connection...
the top one is from the same room as the router, the bottom one is from the furthest I can get from the router (about 10m away, 2 walls and the kitchen in between). Speeds are lower than what I can get on the netbook (25Mbps and 16Mbps respectively) but that's not unexpected
I also had no issues when I used the pub's wifi a few days ago
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Can this be a hardware problem? Or maybe the software? The ones without any problem can you give me information about the rom and modem etc. you use?
I'm on stock KE7, baseband is KE4 (sim-free UK phone). No rooted yet cos after years and years of WinMo, I need to get my head round all that Android malarkey... so confusing when it's not something you're familiar with

[Q] temp phone is 6800, suggestions?

So I was stupid and left my Sprint Hero phone in my shorts and my wife washed them, so goodbye phone. I luckily have two PPC 6800 phones that I can use in the mean time. Im definitely going to miss having an android 2.3 phone though. Any recommendations for making this phone not suck as much over the next month while I wait to see what new phone im going to get? I am not 100% what custom rom is on it now, its from June of 2008 though. Could be 6.5, but its been forever since Ive been in the windows mobile arena. My only needs are exchange support (sync email, contacts, calendar) and basic phone use. I dont even use a bluetooth. Would be useful to be able to use it as a hotspot for my android tablet, but not 100% needed as this is only temporary.
Suggestions? Thanks!

you can ask their for details on what bootloader and radio your phone should be at.
That is the only place I can find current ROMs for the titan.
If you find this useful, you can hit thanks.
I just installed Ryan Moguls 6.5 light rom, but its from last year. Seems the link you posted to a rom is still actively being used. Think that might be a better choice?
I do.
And Tink will help if you have problems. I have it on three phones now.

[Q] Cannot sign in to Skype

Hey everyone,
Last week me and my friend bought a fake iPhone that runs on an Android 2.2.1 ROM with an iPhone interface. There was a version of Skype pre-installed on the phone, but the version got stuck at the sign in screen (after pressing sign in) every time we tried.
After a few days of sniffing around on Google and downloading quite a few versions, we have still got the same problem. On the internet are a lot of posts about this, but there is no clear fix for the problem.
Our carrier is China Unicom, they have a 2G and 3G network and we also have a wireless. Although we came to understand that wifi is not supported on the mobile versions of Skype.
Can anyone help us out with a fix for this very annoying problem?
Cheers,
Bump, any reply would be helpful
This is kinda lame... So many views so little answers?
You've got a phone that nobody has and you can't identify, based on an old OS version ... there really isn't much we can tell you other than: try different versions. It seems like a problem with your firmware, and updating from such an old version would seem like a good idea for security reasons alone... but since this is a phone that doesn't officially exist, I doubt there's a project that creates custom firmware for it.
if you want, i got an skype beta for android, can send you link

Not detecting SIM card, WiFi not working

Hello everybody,
I made this account specifically for this one problem, and i don't belive i've seen it before on this site. Alright, let me cut to the chase:I've had a Galaxy Trend plus for about a year and a half now (an oldie but a goodie) and i use it as my daily driver, mostly for emulators and WiFi. With one of those two knocked out, i'm desperate for help.
Okay, so all of a sudden it displays the no connection icon like a crossed circle thingy, and whenever i turn on WiFi, it won't detect it even 10 inches from the router. I've never had this error and i'm pretty concerned. My SIM card works on my friends phone, however. I've looked everything there is to look up, and i've done everything software-wise , which makes me think it's a hardware problem. If it is, is it under the warranty or not?If I can't make phone calls or browse the Interwebs, the phone is pretty much useless. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please help out an old Android fanboy
