[Q] TELUS 3G Sense3.5 ROMs

Alright so I'm sure you've heard of it somewhere.
There is a huge TELUS 3G issue with 3.5Sense ROMs like Nik's or RCMIX3D (etcetc.) ROMs. The 3G does not work. Of course, from personal experience, I find that it technically does... in a way.
Turning on 3G under a TELUS carrier, you are able to go on the internet through a browser, but to connect through an app (Facebook / GMail / Tapatalk / Whatsapp, etc.) - it just does not work.
Strange isn't it?
To add onto that, even the browser internet is just way too slow.
I know that somewhere in Nik's thread, he posted up a fix for this - but even after flashing his fix, it still does not work.
I just thought I would address this because it seems to seldomly get addressed and yet so easily forgotten about.
Does anyone know why this might be? Or at least have an idea?

Sounds like you need to set up the Telus APN settings when you flash those ROMs.

Have you checked the APN data.
sp.telus.com -- smartphone
isp.telus.com -- modem
Shouldn't matter though... I was able to connect everywhere when I was with Koodo.

Mm no, I can safely say that my APN info is all correct and such.
I'm sure if more telus users can report and acknowledge this problem....

we are well aware that the problem exists
the point of the thread is to raise awareness so that a dev can perhaps come up with a solution.

Not sure what it is with TELUS, because TELUS and bell use the same signals. So bell uses should be experiencing the same problems.

I have similar issue.
3G doesn't work in Softbank(a carrier in Japan). Mobile Network can't be turned on.
I don't know this is the same issue as you.
But I think it is clear that all sense 3.5 ROMs have issue with 3G under some carriers.
I'm waiting for new base rom.

Weird, I wonder what the similarities between the carriers? (TELUS / SOFT)

[Q] No Service

Hello everyone,
Yesterday noticed that my phone was showing an X on top of the service connection bars, moved to different places to see if it was a low signal issue but no change. I do get mobile data (3G/Edge) but no service. i have reboot it several times and re-flashed the ROM im currently using but no change. I have not dropped my phone (recently) or anything remotely similar. i wipes all when re flashed the ROM too. No idea what to do at this point.
Has anyone experienced something like this? any suggestions as to what can i attempt next?
thanks in advance for the help

maybe someone else handled your phone and dropped it ? sounds like a hardware problem for sure

[Q] phone internet speed question

I am trying to see if maybe its my phone radio or wifi antenna is not working correctly. I flashed the latest radio and doesn't seem to be helping either. on 4glte I am getting 1.44mbs for download.and on my wifi I am getting 3.61mbs for download. I have nothing else connected to my wifi. Wondering if maybe I should Ruu my phone and take it into best buy and have them look at it or give me a new one.

Do u have another device that is able to test the 4G or WiFi? Did u update profile and prl?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Yeah I was about to ask the same thing.
Also, have you just done a straight stock flash, then update PRL? None of that should effect your WiFi though, I would test with another device..

Yes I have tested a computer, iPhone, and ipad and all get iver 20mbs+ on same wifi. Thats why I am wondering if it's my phone.

It quite possibly is, that is very odd.
Have you gone 100% stock, then tried it? (you have modded the phone somewhat if you are flashing a radio)

Haven't done a ruu yet.

I would RUU 100% latest stock.
Then do a speed test with WiFi. If you get the same speed, return the device for a new one.

Alright sounds good. Cause I have trued a couple of different roms and get about the same speed. Cause someone told me it might have been a rom and since it's not I figured I would asks others.

At this point it could be ROM, Radio, or Hardware.
Best way to make sure is Stock RUU.

Try setting the WiFi frequency to 2.4 or 5 instead of auto

Agreed. This way, you get a baseline reading with the phone, with it operating "as it should" with the stock ROM and settings. If it doesn't work stock, then you are going to have a hell of a time trying to get it to work any other way, if at all.

Alright I ruu back. The one wifi speed is the same. and on my other router it is faster.

Question about the no calls/text while on LTE

Is this something that is more prevalent on custom Roms? Because since I got my M8 Ive had no problems with missing calls or text. I was just curious before I go ahead and unlock and start flashing roms.

Your best bet is to probably read some rom threads to find out. I'm having zero issues with viper, but everyone's experience may not be the same.

Well thats the thing...All the people I see who are having this issue were on custom Roms. I don't think Ive run across anyone who is stock untouched. So thats why I was hoping to get some feedback here.

Understood, however if there are issues they may be posted in their respective threads along with any fixes/updates.
But I personally believe that most of the issues you're reading about may be network or hardware related, but that's just my opinion.
I myself am luckily in a market that has strengthened the network early on, we were a second round market that started the build out along with first round markets.

Yeah I was pretty lucky with the upgrades all around Atlanta GA. I might not have the most amazing signal but just about everything is upgraded and ready to go.
Ill continue to search around but if anyone is reading this and is complete stock with these issues please post and let me know.

I can confirm my issues are related to the tower im on at home, as soon as I get far enough away from it to go to another tower I get all of my connections back

Thanks! Good to know

I can confirm my issues are related to the tower im on at home, as soon as I get far enough away from it to go to another tower I get all of my connections back.

The only issues I have seem to be when I'm at home.
Sometimes, it takes a while to send/receive texts. Most of the time when this happens, I get anxious and instead of seeing how much of a delay there is, I simply update the profile and they all come quickly afterward. I've found that reprovisioning my phone using the ##SCRTN#(##72786#) dialer code while on CDMA tends to prevent this from happening for a greater amount of time.
Though, I did it a few days ago, it seems to be working okay now. We'll see how long it lasts.

Cdma only

Hey everyone, just was wondering if anyone else was having this issue where the phone won't connect on LTE mode on virgin mobile. Every so often I won't get any connection at all unless I set it to cdma only. I then need to go into dss and reset the connection.
I've tried multiplie roms, kernels, the universal apn fix etc.

It seems like you may have a weak signal to me. I don't think ROMs, kernels, or any fixes can help you in this matter. Does it happen everywhere you go or just in certain locations?

It happens everywhere, I was doing some digging online and it seems to be a fairly common issue. I tried multiple kernels etc because I noticed that it seemed to be better with different ones. Also sometimes, like now, my lte signal is great.

cant get LTE anywhere anytime
I have had this issue since I first flashed this phone back in December with CM11 I called virgin mobile back then and the told me that it wasn't my problem it was a issue they where having in my area so at the time I agreed with them and they even have me half off my bill $18 refund. Since then I have noticed that it wasn't them it was something caused by me flashing the phone. I've been on 5 different Roms and a few kernels nothing seems to change it but I'm not to concerned with it I still get great speed with it in 3g plus I'm on WiFi 18 hours a day so don't really effect me. BUT WHAT IS: I can't sent MMS messages or receive them right now I can't get the IP address etc for the network to work I tried flashing the VMU APN fix but when I did it caused WiFi not to be available (won't turn on) I'm currently on RaptorRomv2. Please if anyone could help with a solution that would be appreciated thanks.

Hello,
Are you on 1.48.652.2 or 1.47.652.1? I'm on Boost Mobile and I noticed the radio was updated on 1.48.652.2 from 1.46.40.1113_2 to 1.46.40.0721. I noticed I get better signal in my area with the new radio. LTE has never been a problem for me, but if you haven't upgraded, maybe this will help you.

That is the newest one, so I don't what to tell you. I have seen quite a bit of people on this forum with LTE/signal problems only with Virgin. I think it is on their side. It is weird, though, since they are a Sprint MVNO and no one on Boost is complaining of these problems.

So 1.46 is newer than 1.48 hows that make sense. I guess it does make Sense run huh lol

I think you misunderstand. 1.48.652.2 is the updated software/RUU that includes everything. 1.46.40.0721 is the updated radio for 1.48.652.2. The old software 1.47.652.1 had the old radio 1.46.40.1113_2. You can get the old software RUU and see if the radio works better for you. If it doesn't, Virgin has a problem that they have to fix.

Here's an update from me, I don't know what happened but I have not had the LTE/3G issue for a while now, pretty much sine the day after I posted this thread. On my end I am going to call this fixed. Only thing I can think is that the software did update from then till now so perhaps it fixed the issue.
