[Q] Cyanogen v.s. AOSP rom? What am i doing wrong??

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

If you're with XT use the Brazil bb.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.

What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.

I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.

The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.

but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?

Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.

Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.

UMTS not working

Just got my Droid 4 and try to use it with GSM in Germany. I'm on the .212 leak.
However, I have no HSPA/UMTS reception. Not even EDGE. Only GPRS works.
I tried out everything, set it to WCDMA preferred, tried all the build.prop tweaks, nothing helped.
Tried out a different SIM, and I'm sure my APN is set up correctly.
It is not related to my region, my Droid 3 works perfectly here.
I think I have a hardware reception issue, but still hope it is just a configuration.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I'm not fully sure if the Droid4 has world bands in place. In the "Set GSM/UMTS band" I see only USA Band listed.
Also, do you have your APN setup correctly? Make sure the APN authentication is set properly, that's one of the bigger bugs out there with the new builds. Also, have you tried using a custom ROM?

The Droid 4 for sure has the proper bands for UMTS/HSDPA in Europe. Has to be an APN thing. Hopefully somebody else can shed some light on this, as I am planning to use my Droid 4 in Germany as well in the coming months. I know there is someone from Holland on this forum that has no problem using his Droid 4 there (he is also on one of the latest ICS leaks).
Does the foreign SIM card initiate some type of APN configuration when inserted?

As I said I'm really sure APN is correct, I doublecheckt it a couple of times. I'm also sure it is not an APN problem because data IS working, but only with GPRS. Could try a different ROM, but I doubt it will help, I had this issue both with stock Gingerbread and leaked ICS.

Were you able to get this figured out?

i have also problem to get data, it connects to network but there is no data. :// have tried everything with apn and network settting but no chance..
p.s.: i am on .212 leak

So did something maybe change from ICS build 211 to build 212? Did you guys have any problems on the previous leaks?

i dont know if it works actually with 211.. does anyone know if i downgrade to .211 leak from 212

Sure. Over at droidforums, there is a tutorial on how to do it. You have to fastboot GB 19 first, then use the unstick tool with the 211 Kernel, followed by flashing of the 211 ICS leak. I have been doing this every single time going from one leak to the next.

Downgrading within the ICS leaks works the same way as upgrading as long as you have the proper leak and kernel.
Do any of you Canadian forum members have difficulty with Data on the latest ICS leaks?

i can confirm that data on .213 leak doesnt work also in germany. i will try .211 later...
could someone send me the build.prop(.211) for compare before i downgrade..

[Q] Droid 3 solana CM10.1 "No Service"

Hi,
I flashed my droid 3 with the current CM10.1 ROM and it's working... Except for the SIM card.
It's plain not recognizing the sim. No calls, no SMS, no data.
I couldn't find anywhere how to fix nor even how to debug it.
I'm pretty new to android flashing but have extensive experience as Linux sysadmin (15+ years), so any hint about how to debug it would be very welcomed.
Any hints?
( Ahh, I'm in Brazil, using GSM)
Thanks in advance,
Leon

Hi,
Try to find the library libmoto_ril.so from the stock rom at /system/lib, and replace it. You should get signal, but until now, I'm not aware of anyone that made 3g work on JB Roms with GSM networks.
Also replace the line:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
On the default build.prop it is 7 (for CDMA).
Hope this helps.

Hey, I am having the same problem on my droid 3 cm 10.1 installation. I live in Australia and my droid 3 is a Verizon one. I did what you said and then it doesnt boot but stays stuck on the loading screen. I even tried Hashcode's GSM patch and still remains stuck. Any Ideas.

Issue with mobile data on nubia z9 mini

Hi,
i recently installed Chinese rom of Android 5.1.1 on my nubia z9 mini indian device.
Most of the things work fine so far only issue I have is one with mobile data.
I'm not able to get mobile data working.
Network gets selected fine but internet does not work.
I have read multiple threads and looks like this is known issue. Someone did mention that he found solution but I did not find link to his ROM.
I want to know how to fix this issue.
APN is correctly set.
Thanks,
Dilkush

I faced the same problem in Indian Version but after coming back to indian version, I placed only that sim card in which net plan is active. Then after that i place the second sim now both r working and with data connection. Try this. Let me know if it success.
Mine is working

LTE Band Question

Hi everyone,
My carrier band is supported on the Mix namely B3 and B7. However, it is not possible to get 4G signal at all on the phone, only 3G.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Settings/SIM card/preferred network
Or maybe you need to setup APN manually.

Thanks for the suggestions but I have tried that to no avail. I install the LTE discovery app and there is no LTE signal at all.
I also tried flashing the modem file from China dev rom but it is also the same.

So your old phone worked ok? Can you try a different carrier SIM card to check.

What carrier are you on and what are your APN settings?

I'm in Singapore and my carrier is Starhub. The apn settings are auto created and I double checked against other phone it is the same settings.

There is an issue with the latest update that causes the device not to connect to LTE. According to the official forum, it should be fixed in the next update, which is about a week away.
Edit: Some have suggested reflashing your ROM and doing a factory reset as well. Most of what I have seen points to the developer ROM. If you are using the developer ROM, then flashing back to the Chinese Stable and factory resetting the device should solve it. If you are using a vendor ROM, the same is recommended.

Just an update to anyone facing the same issue. This is a bug on the development rom and hence it affects all eu / custom rom that derive from there. Once flash onto the latest stable will resolve this issue.
