[Q] [Solved] GSM Tmo Tab with JK3 modem, no service!

Hi everyone, I flashed different ROMs for a couple of weeks, and finally decide to settle down with OC 2.3.3, the July 15th latest one. However, the same problem occurred, which is with a Tmo Modem in the tab, I have great signal, EDGE data, and no phone function. With JK3, I got nothing, which is the main reason I switched back to Froyo at first.
I am a ATT user, holding a Tmo GT. I didn't find any fimilar threads, and in fact, I think this is a question needs precise answers.
Thanks in advance!
Updated on #4

UPDATE: I find the signal sometimes appeared and give me GPRS... So weird... I even reflash the rom again, not help. So any other paople could help me?

You can use the t-mobile modem, and you will only get EDGE. You can use a vibrant modem and you can get voice and EDGE.
BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET 3G.
There are probably a five hundred posts on this.
And it will never matter which rom you use. It is only due to hardware limitations, as I explained to you elsewhere.

Thanks for the help, but you misunderstood. I know the edge and voice stuff, just the modem didnt work on my tab.
Since I absolutely want gingerbread this time, I finally figure this out, I went to wireless settings and select GSM only, instead of autoselect. NOW I can FINALLY make calls and get edge instead of gprs. I will keep tracked to see if this method could solve the problem eventually.
People see alot of similar threads and they forgot to care about simple problems because they thought it was old, which in fact isnt. Still thank this forum for bringing me all the great things!

It is usually the simple things that cause us problems! And you wouldn't have gotten any reply if I didn't care about your problem.
Why can't you switch to a t-mobile sim card so you can enjoy the 3g?

Do u mean if I switch to tmobile I could get 3g and voice? I am managing a family plan right now and my wife is waiting for iphone 5, but if that is the situation, I might consider switching... ao attractive...

From my understanding TMO only provide 3G data plan for tab. No voice plan. Am i right rangercaptain? You did explain to me last time in other treat that only certain region receive the voice plan. Ex spain, israel etc. Or maybe my understanding is wrong? Haha,,just want some confirmation also on this matter. Im interested to know

You are 100% right.
T-mobile tabs in the USA get voice or 3g using the switch.
In a few other countries t-mobile tabs get voice and 3g, no switch needed.

Yes, sort of.
You would have to install the Rotohammer modem switch.
Mode #1 = voice, sms, and EDGE speed data.
Mode#2 = 3g data only.

Thank you for that info rangercaptain. You just add more knowledge to me.

[Q]Rooting HTC Raider/Holiday

I live in Korea and got the HTC Raider a couple weeks ago. It is supposedly being released as the HTC Holiday in the US.
I am DYING to root this phone!!! Anyone have any idea how to do it? I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks a lot in advance!

hey, buddy. kinda like only in your country has both the raider and 9100, so how do you think about the two? and how do you like the raider？

Is the Korean version of the Raider unlocked? I live in Hong Kong - been trying to find a parallel import version but it seems impossible....

just got the rogers version of the raider... sad there's no root for it yet

Htc vivid aka raider/holiday has almost same specs but comes in black or white with a 1.2 ghz processor and its coming to the us november 6. Whats everyones reviews? Good, bad or go with the galaxy s 2?

I for the Bell version of HTC raider , it is blazing fast...I was able to clock 8.15mbps in lte mode. I was move on between LTE/HSPA+/HSPA/Wf-fi flawlessly.
its a great device
Not sure how to get the forum going for this device

Got My Bell HTC Raider yesterday
I had the s2 i9100 previously and love the HTC raider I clocked 10 mbs down in Calgary, don't even have LTE here yet that's just 4G+.

So what made u cross over to the htc raider? Im coming from my first android phone in the htc inspire 4g which im enjoying but i am ready for an upgrade and im stuck between the galaxy s2 skyrocket and the htc vivid from AT&T.

Went for the Raider/vivid due to dual channel hspa +
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App

Dual channel hspa+ , notification light, LTE, since its a HTC phone once its rooted you can get beats audio on it.
Thought about waiting for the nexus but don't know if its dual channel hspa + yet and like having 16gb built in and the option for additional storage (have a 32gb micro SD)
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App

Koreans already rooted the Raider/Vivid
a guy in the korean htc forum made a permanent rooting tool for it
which means that my raider is rooted
but I am not sure whether itz going to work for at&t version

In case you missed it

Im not super android literate, i know theres different types of root from what ive read. i was able to temp root it using zergs one root method. It would revert back to non rooted status after restart. i unlocked my bootloader and applied this method afterwards and the phone is still rooted. i am able to use setcpu etc but most importantly titanium backup which i love. hopefully this helps some

Any issues with USB Connectivity using this method? Any issues with Micro SD Card? I know when I used this on my Atrix 2 which I returned for this device it started having issues with Not Mounting to the PC etc.

Not sure what you would like a picture of, i took a screenshot of my titanium home screen if that helps, it shows i have root access also took a screenshot in cpu master pro which requires root

Unlock code problem - YOU CAN HELP!!!

So, I ordered unlock codes on multiple sites and all of them didnt work, and requested refund. I saw something interesting: 2 of them sent me the same codes, and I think that if 2 of them sent me the same code means that - that is the right code. It anyway dosent work and I think because I have CM7 installed. What should I do? First I will try with another ROM, and if that dosent work, I will do a KDZ flash (I know this from the LG Optimus One forums), returning to basic.
Will KDZ help?

Does not matter which rom you are using... the unlock code will work if its correct. I have my MS unlock using CM7...
The point is those sites that offers unlock codes uses an algorithm based on your phone model + country + network.
If it didnt work for is because they dont have all info to compose 100% the algorithm like your operator and they try some standard validation that sometime will not work.
PS: try to be nice on your topics so ppl may wanna help.

Contact your operator and ask for your unlock code, or take your handset to a shop with mobile phone unlocking.

I will make a new thread with all the story, theres a new -stupid- problem.

I was using CM6 when I unlocked the phone, and as wisefreakz said, the code is obtained by country + network, the guy who give me the unlock code told me that it was more expensive than other (cheaper?) phones because of it...

[Q] Stuck in roaming

I have successfully rooted my phone and I have been successfully trying out some of the ROM's found here on xda. One thing I've noticed though is that every time I boot into any rom, I'm always stuck in roaming and I can't seem to get out.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running LG Optimus 2X P990HN on FIDO network.

Weird. Roaming is supposed to be a network setting and is not made automagically by the rom. Are there chances you enabled it before the flash?

Nope, not that I'm aware of anyway, I wasn't in roaming before flashing and I wasn't in roaming after flashing back to original.
I'm stumped thus far :\

I just got my wife and I 2 brand new phones rooted and installed custom roms.. I know this is a radio issue cause its not picking up the fido network thus i have the same problem you do. Im trying to look into a different baseband as we speak.

I tried the newest baseband i could find to no avail. i tried punching in all my apn settings manually, nothing. I was able to connect and register on FIDO umts and gsm networks but it still said I was in roaming.
I was doing a bit of googling earlier and some ppl were saying that it's got something to do with many of the roms are running gingerbread and that the p990hn has no love for gingerbread atm. I just kinda skimmed but that's what I got from it.
I'm going to see try a froyo rom for the 2x and see if I encounter the same issue.

Wow that sucks... so we have to offically wait for them to release gingerbread?

"Of course you wont be charged more.
Just an FYI, you are ON the Fido network even if it says Rogers or roaming on rogers. When you roam outside of the Fido/Rogers network, on something like AT&T or T-Mobile, then you are roaming on a different network, not only that, you get a text message to remind you that you are on a foreign network. Hope this helps."
That was quoted from the fido forums.. so apparently its already on fido but because the coding is not right and no official gingerbread support its considered roaming but wont be charged extra money.. I wont be able to know until next month and even still its a risk.

Ok i confirmed this info i found on the net and it works fine.
"APN: internet.fido.ca
User: fido
Pass: fido
After calling Fido, it seems that using National Datat Roaming on the Rogers network is allowed, and there is no extra billing since it's what the Nexus has to do as well. Cool. I guess someone can close this if they want."
So I just put that info in and it works.. I can make calls and use data... make sure you click use data roam

Is the snapdragon 800 going to allow us to have CDMA world phones? I read it somewhere.
It would be cool if we could have identical hardware for all carriers, including CDMA.

This is a world phone. Just that they only put the gsm antennas for talk and 3g since that's really all u need when traveling for abit. If ur referring to using cdma else where then that's useless since the US is really the only place that uses cdma
