[Q] Canada videotron radio image - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Just installed cyano 6 N1 on a nexus one that I got from Videotron here in Canada.
The thing is that now ive lost 3G network, with the radio firmware update FRF50-radio-4_06_00_12_7.zip.
And I got me there, I lost my damn nandroid backups, thus having fun trying to get that "stock" radio firmware back in.
Anyone can provide me with the stock OS + Radio that works with Videotron, I think they are on 1700mhz aws band.

There is no difference between the radio software on the 2 different models of the N1, it's the same for both.
Have you checked the APN settings to make sure you settings are still there, I've had to add mine manually when installing CM6.

that did it
Well you got it, there was no APN in there.
It work now, I found the apn info using google

KAIS120 and AT&T Network

Just bought a KAIS120. Will start with the preinstalled HTC rom. Do I need to update the radio for it to work, or work better, on the AT&T network? I wasn't sure if the AT&T radio was only for the KAIS110/KAIS100. Is there anything else I will need to do to get it on the network?
Thanks
You should be OK -- I've been running one with the stock ROM on the AT&T network for over a year now, and it works just fine, even on 3G data.

[Q] Need help with Verizon Droid Basebands

Hey Folks,
I got anxious and thought flashing a new baseband would give me the edge in my area. Well, the original baseband I had on my Droid was the c_1.07.00R....
I tried flashing the following:
C_1.3E.01P
C_1.3E.01E
C_01.41.00R
C_01.43.01P
From http://download.peteralfonso.com/sholes
Now, I don't get ANY mobile data connections. Looks like the baseband has stopped working. WiFi is fine. I have Verizon service, and live in a slightly remote area that was once popular with Alltel. I'm guessing the radios in my area haven't been updated with LTE or the new technology...
Now, to my question. Does anyone have a link or file for the C_1.07.00R baseband?? Or do I flash an original ROM to attempt a baseband switch??
So far (in my reading), it seems ROMs don't affect Basebands. Is there an .SBF that would fix my issues?? I need to read more on .SBFs. BTW, I feel comfortable using ADB.
\_/\_/ Cheers for any info or help!!
Well... no response from the forum! I found that if you reload an original image through a .SBF file, you can restore the A854 baseband to 1.07.00R.
Unfortunately, this didn't resolve my mobile data network connection issue. Keep in mind there are several Droids out there... Verizon, Alltel, European, Asian, Australian... A853, A854, A855 ffffffuuuuuuuuu.....
Verizon is sending me a new phone; Droid2 replacement. Hopefully, I can keep this one going. READ!!! READ!!!! READ!!!! Learn everything before doing anything.
Peter Alfonso's basebands are specifically Verizon's Basebands for the Motorola Droid (A855). It is not known as the Droid on any other carrier.
Also, after flashing a new Baseband, it clears any PRL information, so you must dial *228 to reconfigure the PRL for the phone. You will then get all voice/data services after that.
I have the same issue on my VERIZON Motorola Droid A855
I have the same issue I even Reinstalled the Default image
VZW_A855_FRG22D_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE_01 and even went back tro the default baseband then went out and did a*228 and option 1 and still no mobile data connection when I try to do a *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone Information and tried several of the Network types
1) CDMA Auto(PRL)
2) GSM/CDMA Auto(PRL)
3) CDMA Only
4) EvDO Only
Then after each on of those I would go down to menu and "select radio band" I tried
USA and Auto and got this error message Set [Automatic] unsucessfull and Set [USA] unsucessfull I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue possibly from overclocking it I had it set to min 250Mhz and max 800Mhz or it's some setting somewhere deep in the Android OS that needs to be reset I'm still troubleshooting but everything else on my droid is working great.
This shouldn't be related to overclocking, I think. It's something about CPU, not radio.

Droid 3 In Australia

Hey, I'm in Australia (GSM) and I purchased a Motorola Droid 3 (XT862) from America a few months ago.
Should I have bought the XT860 (GSM version)?
I was with Optus but because they don't support the 850mhz network I switched to Vodafone because they had it. So now I atleast have data working on my phone after those months of not having it, but vodafone sucks, especially on this phone (text messages sometimes don't send/signal cuts out all the time) but the 3G is very good.
The phone I previously had before the Droid 3 was a HTC Tmobile G2 which I had also bought from America, and everything worked perfectly.
If I buy the XT860 will it fix everything?
On the Motorola website it says the XT862 and XT860 have the same networks... but the XT680 is supposed to be used on GSM, so would it work fine?
Sorry if I confused anyone, I'm really baked.
Thanks in advance for anyone trying to help
Maybe you could try the T-MOBILE AT&T hack?

i have XT 862, on GSM and it works perfectly. More than that, I use also vodafone
The xt860 (and xt883) would not be any better; all they (along with the xt862) support UTMS 850/1900/2100mHz. Thus, you probably didn't get a lot of 3G on the Optus network (which uses 900/2100mHz). The main Vodafone 3G network in Aus is 900/2100mHz, but they are in the process of rolling out an 850mHz network.
Telstra Next-G uses 850mHz (and they have 2100mHz as well, but only in cities I believe)
Anyway, in brief: If you're willing to switch to Telstra, you should get great results. If not, Vodafone is the next best option.
I have xt862 on optus in Austraia. I just stay in global mode. I did experiment around with some of the custom roms but found weirdnesses like my calls not coming thru. I went back to stock and now im going to stay on stock until cm9 reaches release. Im not having any issues on stock.
Hope this helps

Just did it, I suppose it improved the situation a tiny bit, but i'm not sure.
I will do some tests on the Telstra network, see if it's better than Vodafone.
Im using the phone in Global mode atm and I'm getting a decent 3-4 bars instead of the 1 or 2 i'd normally get which excites me
And the network type is displaying HSPA.
But I cannot send text messages, everytime, it just says "Text message not sent" which is very annoying. Anyone know anything about this? When I swapped over to Vodafone from Optus I could send texts but after a point it just stopped working...
Anyone know anything about this?
thanks
So does the droid 3 bought from usa connect to data services with optus at all?
How fast is data transfer in "global" mode?
late reply i know, but I'm on TPG [Optus network] in Qld, Aus with the droid 3 XT862.
from memory, all i've done is done the 'hack' to show actual reception, rather than 1 bar. I run the phone on the global setting.
I just ran a speedtest.net check, got an internode server in Sydney. ping 139ms, DL 5241kbps, UL 1202kbps.
OP, when you were with Optus, did you go through your account settings and make sure you had 3G data turned on for your phone, etc? I'm not trying to patronise or anything, but it always helps to start with the basics when fault finding.
Regards,
Hi All,
Im also in Australia, with Vodafone, and am looking at getting myself a Droid 3 as well.
Since the phones aren't released here, what happens about software updates? Im assuming they won't happen via OTA?
Im leaning towards the XT860, rather than the XT862, any particular reason to go for either?
Thanks,
cevad

No difference between them but the xt860 has more dedicated roms here. Both are the same phone and just build.prop edits are needed to get the phones up and running in 5 mins. OTA updates will still work anywhere tho if you root and mod your phone don't use use the OTA feature as you will screw your phone.
All you need to do select wcdma/gsm mode and manually put in your service provider APNs to get 3G. Find this on the Voda site.
Best place to find your APN is here:

I managed to get a xt862, but I cant get data working on optus? (live connected)
calls/text works - tried global mode, tried GSM/UMTS mode, tried manually selecting optus 3g network, made sure the data setting was enabled which is actually under "battery & data manager". Already manually input the optus apn.
what am I missing?
Do you have to do the tmobile at&t hack? running everything stock from factory; or will rooting the phone/install ics help?
I have the one bar reception bug which I read on another thread if that makes a difference.
nvm, got it to work, for some reason manually inputting an APN didnt work, had to find the optus site and send it via sms.
Speed isnt too bad.
The next problem now though is wireless hotspot. It connects but no data goes through for some reason

If the xt862 is the verizon version, I have read that verizon have blocked the hotspot stuff from working.

[Q] Only EDGE - Help please

Hi,
I am having the following situation with my mobile data.
Bought an HTC One in Germany, everything works well, took it to Peru (Claro Network) where I currently live, also everything worked fine.
Rooted the device and installed Android Revolution 12.1. - everything worked good.
Installed Google Edition Rom - not sure if EDGE or 3G / 4G worked. Installed again Android Revolution (this time 12.2) and since then I only get EDGE coverage (yes, i am in an area with 3G and 4G coverage - my kids phones work without issue). I believe that the Android Revolution does not touch the radio so I guess the Google Edition is/was the initiatior of the problem.
Thought that it might be the Radio, and flashed the up to date T-Mobile Germany radios (as they worked in the beginning), but no change.
What to do? Is there some other component which might effect the EDGE / 3G & 4G reception? Anyone has a Claro Peru radio to make a final check?
Attaching screenshoot of Firmware etc.
Thanks alot,
TK
Go to settings -> Mobile Data
There is a "Network Mode" section make sure it is on GSM WCDMA LTE auto
If that doesnt work, make sure you are on the correct "access point" I, for whatever reason, have the GSM access point and a "WAP" one for my company. One time it auto-selected WAP and I was having issues with internet.
Hi,
yes all activated. Just did some more research ... and maybe someone can help.
I am having a M7_UL version but it was bought in Europe, and does not support the 850 3G band which I need overhere in Peru. I am stuck on the 1.54 Bootloader. How can I get this to work. A Canadian Radio e.g. would do as it support the 850 Band.
Thanks alot for a hint,

[Q] Samsung Ativ S T899M.003 LTE Settings

Hi,
I have done some searching on the forums and found related questions to this, but no answer that fixes my problem.
I have been using a Samsung Ativ S T899M for about 2 years now, originally a phone from Rogers Canada that my work bought, imported into the US on AT&T through Expansys. I actually live in Canada though and use it on Rogers.
We bought these phones with WinPho 8.0 on them, and configured them originally to use the APN WAP.CINGULAR and they connected just fine to Rogers Network, showing 3G, 4G and LTE connectivity for the last 2 years. When I go to the US for work, I switch it to 'Automatic' network connection and I get connectivity just fine. Even through various updates to Windows Phone 8.1, including the Developer Preview.
I recently reset my phone due to formatting issues with an SD card, and reset everything, restoring from a backup:
OS Version: 8.10.14176.243
FW Rev: 2212.12.11.2
HW Rev: 15.3.1.0
Radio Software ver: <blank?>
Radio Hardware ver: <blank?>
I reset the phone, and only 3 days later was I prompted to update to the above versions, although I checked for updates shortly after the reset.
Now to the problem: I no longer see LTE as a connectivity option when connecting to Rogers Network, AND I don't have Internet connectivity, even when choosing 4G. (I realize this might be 2 diff problems)
In the Settings --> 'Cellular+SIM' --> 'SIM' menu, I see only 2G, 3G and 4G in the highest connection speed..no LTE as there was before.
When I search for networks, I see Rogers at 2G, 3G and 4G, no LTE.
I have the APN set to WAP.CINGULAR and have also tried fast.t-mobile.com as advised in some other forum posts, with no luck.
I have the diagnostics app installed (*#634#) and have dialed into the Test Mode menu using *#0011# and tried to follow the codes to get to the UTMS mode menu, but it does not work. Tapping Back twice does nothing whatsoever.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Am I missing the Radio drivers I need? How do I correct this?
Any help / advice / tests are appreciated.
I have this phone as well. Its unlocked from Bell Canada. I made the same mistake and upgraded it to 8.1 DP, I since bought a Nokia Lumia 635 that I use as my daily driver, as there are soo many bugs with the T899M now using the 8.1DP. When I was using it I noticed that missing LTE from the settings as well, but every now and then my phone would tell me I was connected to LTE in the status bar.
I really wish there was a way to restore this phone back to the original factory firmware 8.0....well I'm sure there is, but for some reason there simply is no ROM online to do so. Very unfortunate for us T899M owners who did the 8.1 DP update.
The missing radio HW & SW lines are because Samsung needs to update the firmware, some of the hardware is missing proprietary drivers (radios/camera, etc), unfortunately everytime I contact Samsung they tell me the same thing. "You cannot downgrade, it is not possible. We will let you know when an update is available".....basically the're no help.
Alls we can do is wait....one day it maybe updated...who knows when though...apparently not Samsung.
4G is LTE. I set my highest setting to 4G and in the top corner it shows LTE. 8.1 DP latest
