Does rom region matter?

My Optimus Black cames with v20j (Canada) and I understand that there's differences between regions like apps. But other than that, is there any real difference? I've used Spain's, Germany's, Europe's and the Philippines' roms and they all run the same.

From my own experience with canadian carrier "telus or koodo".
Some of the roms seem to not get a good connection to the network,
I went as far a sending my phone for repair, rerooted my device and reflashed but kept getting cant connect to network at this time. I do beleive some one else on telus had the same issue. Can' t recal his name

Huh, I'm on Koodo and I've had no trouble with signal on any rom. I did find that some roms don't say I'm on Koodo, but Telus. But, Koodo is part of Telus so it makes sense.

Telus
I'm with Telus and since I changed my original rom from a custom one I can't get phone signal outside of town.
It's because we have the lg p970g not lg p970. We have different phone signal for our roms this is why our phone are having signal issues.
I didn't find a way to correct this problem. But is there a flashable zip for a canadian rom becaus my usb port is broken and i can only charge my cellphone and change my rom with a flashable zip file.
hope we'll find a solution someday :S

Yes for xample you cant find persian language in v20n or j but v20b have persian

i had issues when outside of town. i recently tried the n version of Zeus on the same trip and signal seemed to be better, specifically in a spot where I had no signal before. still not as strong as stock though. running telus.

2G only on a new GT-i8190

My dad purchased a new Galaxy S III mini online. It arrived with a European charger and in a foreign language. Which one I don't know. Anyway, he managed to get it switched over to English but apparently it will only connect to 2G. I had him check under networks and he says GSM is the only option.
It's this a firmware issue I could correct?
Getting info from him has been like pulling eye teeth and he is well over 1500 miles away and only slightly less in years.
Thanks in advance.

A factory reset didn't work so I am still researching the problem.

Why not flash a rom from your country?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

Looks like my dad has lost interest, at least four the time being, in fixing this issue so, unless he ships the phone to me whereby I can flash rom's, etc., I'll consider the issue closed.
If there is any change, I'll post the results.

I guess S3 mini is forbiden on the US market due to Samsung lost at court with Apple.
Might help to try to flash ROM from region using the same baseband. Australia?

Anyone else getting bad service after flashing the maximus7 rom?

I can't seem to get more than 3 bars in places I used to get full. I even tried flashing to the new radio but that did absolutely nothing. Does anyone know of a fix?

[Q] After rooting and custom Rom can't connect to xda forums

Hey guys I picked up a bell mobility HTC One in Ontario Canada the other day. I rooted it and I stalled CWM and installed 2 different roms now one was CM the other was coin's. For some reason when I pull up the xda app or try to bring it up in the browser it never connects. I can loaf the home page but not the forums and the app goes nowhere. It worked fine on stock. I have the standard version of both roms installed. However this only occurs when I'm connected to the mobile network it works fine over WiFi. Any ideas?

Here I'll get the thread going.
Could this have anything to do with firmware?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Installing latest firmware only takes 5 mins, so it's probs ideal to give it a try. I was having issues with call quality but firmware fixed it!

I never experienced this, but if you tried 2 different roms, Firmware is your best bet for solving the issue. I am on bell too, so I am not sure why it happened to u and not me.

Question about CDMA and GSM One

Why is there such a huge difference between the Rom ability. I know it's a different network code but isn't the One able to run both anyways? Why are some roms GSM only. When I had my Photon nothing like that mattered.

Bump because seriously curious

As far as I know, almost all ones are the same, except for the sprint model. I believe the partitions are different on the sprint model, and flashing a ROM designed for anything else will not work.
