I used this solution with the C6603 firmware and the 4G option is sticking.

If you flashed the c6602 version, you won't have LTE. Try the 6603 version. I always like to use the unbranded one from Germany. If you did flash the 6603 version, download the 6606 firmware and only flash the baseband. then type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and in the radio settings make sure it is set to LTE/CDMA/GSM preferred.

{TWeak} Updated GSM APNs

This will work on any GSM phone globally.
I am posting here because I recently got a c6606 and the locked bootloader is preventing proper distribution of essential updates that are normally assimilated and quickly distributed into ROMs. So I just pulled the APNs from Vanir.
What
In essence, Access Point Names are basic directions telling your phone what networks it can use
Why
Flashing this has brought my reception from 0 bars/no reception to 2 bars 4G (-103 dBm, 7 asu), not great but infinitely better than no signal
Directions
1) Download
2) Backup your current APN of your paranoid (in system/etc/apns-conf.xml)
3) Flash via CWM
4) Profit
Download

Hi, I found that some of the APNs for HK is not correct..
for example, Smartone is not incorporating with vodafone any more, so the APN should be Smartone instead of Smartone-Vodafone now. CSL does use Mobile as APN without proxy server.
BTW thanks a lot for the very detail APNs, useful for me if i goto other country when traveling.
is it compatible with c6603?
Please screen shot the apn. Would like to know what I am flashing first!

Yep, using it. Seems to make some difference.
Just backup the original before flashing, incase you need to restore.

[Q] Connection problem

Hi, I got a One international bought in Germany but I'm using it in Italy with the latest radio.
I don't use my carrier connection so much, but when i use it i notice always some problems..
When I turn on the connection, it initially works but after some minutes it gives some problems because it remains with the H symbol but there is no data transfer so i can't do anything.
It doesn't depends on where i am cause i have the same problem wherever I go.
The only way is to turn on-off airplane mode or reboot the phone, or wait some minutes till the connection decides to get back.
Help me please :crying:
Umh, are you using the right apn of your carrier?

[Q] Software update

So I live in Romania, and I have I8190 (international unlocked non-nfc model) and I have xxamd3 since I got it in July... Problem is, software update (even kies) say I have the latest version, however, the latest version for "Romania" (without any carrier) and Vodafone România (my Carrier) were released in September...
I know I can easily flash with Odin, but why am I getting no update by kies or software update?

Nevermind, I got it carrier-free from eMAG, and it apparently has the COA version (cosmote), which is pretty much the only one who didn't get the amg4 update
My question is, what happens if I flash the Romanian version for no carrier? (this might also fix some connection issues, since I am on Vodafone)

No problem. I am from Spain and I use a rooted ROM from Germany without problem.

Yeah, I researched a bit, and I found that the ROM or the CNX (Vodafone ro) cdc were not in my system (/system/cdc), guess I'll just wait for the update from cosmote, I unrooted my phone for warranty, and I don't want to lose it

Thanks.
Also with newly flashed rom, i dont see the LTE symbol on the status bar. It has bars all the time -whether i'm on wifi or LTE. I see some threads talking about adding the APN for my carrier, but would that change the status bar notification? It looks like thats the way the ROM is.
I'm close to reverting back to my bell rom - its a pity its still on 4.1
For any canadian bell users, what ROM are you using that works well???

Rom sfr 12

It should work in Europe at least. I think there is not much difference between firmware from different regions / carriers beside the bloatware.
And generally when you flash a firmware, unless you have limited internet connexion to download firmware, you don't risk anything. If there is a network incompatibility you can always flash a new one. And in the worst case ( that can happen ) if your phone don't boot anymore, you can also just try another one
