XT883 on Xt862 problems - Motorola Droid 3

I flashed the radio on my D3 to XT883 and all was fine(or so I thought). I cannot get the GPS to work properly. I can take the phone back to stock and the GPS works great. Go back to XT883, no GPS. It never sees any sats. I got a second D3 from ebay and I am getting the same issue with it. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

GSM Radio died. Any suggestions?

Out of the blue yesterday my phones reception went dead. I have tried to change the settings for the bands, but still no luck. It does come up with the radio version. Everything is working as it should, just no radio connection. Wifi and BT both work fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You haven't paid your phone bill, have you?
Seriously, have you tried with another SIM card?
All my bills have been paid, lol.
I have tried 2 other SIM's and no luck. All 3 SIM's work in any other phone. Thanks
Hi
Just check if u get the Radio versions when yr device boot.
Also chk if u can open yr contacts.If no then rename the PIM file and reboot.
I hope this solves
It popped back up on its own. I wasnt doing anything to the phone and it just started to connect to a tower. Thanks for the suggestions. If it happens again, I hope not, I will try that out.
Looks like I spoke to soon. I went to soft reset the device and the same thing is happening again.
I do get the radio version when I boot up and my contacts work fine. Everything seems to be fine except the GSM radio part. Back to the drawing board.

Need different radio for nexus att version

ok I have been having 3G isssue on my nexus one 850 model, it shows thats I have full 3g signal but 3g hangs alot, and get data network error message, mine is unlocked and rooted and running Poul's FRF83 rom, I wanted to try different radios, can some one direct me what is best radio for att and from to get it, thanks guys for time
There is only one Froyo-compatible radio. The older ones will give you a few issues if used with Froyo as far as I know.
Radio working fine here. Try a clean ROM.
I think i have been having similar issues, flashed back to my stock recovery and stock images and ran the update from the google ota updates.
it just seems like it takes a bit for it to browse, sometimes when i run the fcc speedtest app it reports nothing for downstream and 1.5mb for upstream
was thinking it was just my area but not sure
Same here. Seemed to happen with Froyo 72. It is just the one tower that I've experienced this. When I'm at work my data keeps getting hung up. It will pause sometimes for 2 minutes before I get a socket and then it goes just fine. Away from work, any other area I don't have the problem. Got two iPhone users here on AT&T that are not having their data hang.
Speedtest.net results: DL: 11kbps, UL: 1467kbps
I did a complete wipe for FRF85B and installed the blackbar version of Geo411m's 85b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184

[Q] G1 only picks up 3g

I just got a used g1 and it only picks up 3g, it dosent switch over to edge it only gets siginal in 3g, i tried to factory reset it, i used the *#*#4636#*#* to switch it to edge no dice, rooted it, ive pretty much done everything i can think of, anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it, would it possibly be the antenna acting up?

Couple of possibilities;
1) fried amplifier (unlikely),
2) there has to actually be a 2g network within range in order to connect to it... you sure there is one?
yea i know im in 2g range, i had another g1 that never had this issue and when i say no signal its none there is no switch over at all to edge or g, either it 3g or its an X on the bars, i went and to tmo and got a diff sim card still no dice, would the amplifier cause summin like this to happen? ive been around the towers and it works like a charm but i get to far and it drops all service what could it be could it be the spl or something im going to root it again tonight to see if anything changes

There is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in "re-rooting" if you already have root. It won't gain you anything. The SPL itself can't affect anything to do with the radio. The RADIO system *could*, but I doubt it is since I've heard of every combination working at least to some degree.
You could try a wipe, installing a fresh ROM, and ensuring that your SPL and RADIO are decent/recent ones.... I suggest you install SPL version 1.33.2003 (which is NOT deathspl), along with radio 2.22.23.02.
SPL 1.33.2003 is fully compatible with the device's stock SPL, which was version 0.95.0000 except that it is a FULL ENGINEERING SPL. There is also a PARTIAL engineering SPL version 0.95.3000 -- it is not nearly as strong as 1.33.2003.
Note that the radio and spl themselves can NOT be "broken". They are either both present/correct or the phone is totally bricked. There is no in-between.
well i have danger SPL, i went from the 26I radio to .23 no dice, a fresh rom (cyanogenmod 6) install, wiped the phone multiple times a day still noting what can be done about this im completely out of ideas and still no dice, if i have to change the boards in the phone, where can i find them and would i have to revert the rooting on the phone to not cause any issues. . Well I got some stuff to work if I switch it over to gsm auto (prl) I get signal in some places but still not fuily work there is no data when I do this tho and I still drop the siginal alot
I figured it out my gsm antenna is damaged on the outside, is there anyway to repair this without chaing the back, and where if i could, get the antenna from?

[Q] Issue where all connections time out/stop all together

Need help hoping someone can point me the right direction or has had this problem before.
On random occasions my connections to the T-Mobile network will stop. The way that I know it's stopped is I'll look at the 3G or H icons in the drop bar and the up arrow will be blinking as if it's try to connect but nothing will happen. During this time, no calls will come in or out, and data will not work. To get out of this, I either have to reboot or switch from 3G to EDGE (also happens while on EDGE too) or just wait it out, EVENTUALLY, the connections will be restored and the up and down arrows will light up showing traffic is flowing again. I know it's not coverage since more often than not I have full bars or at least 2 bars.
I'm thinking it's not the radio firmware, since I'm running modded ROMs (currently running CM6.1 RC1) and I've upgraded the radio successfully each time. The radio I'm currently running is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or has a clue on what I should do.
thanks
5.08 and 5.12 radio versions came from Korean updates, so would you like to give 4.06 a try to see if it solves the problem? if still doesn't, try 5.12 see if it works.
Radio image is not really tied with Rom, Froyo requires 4.06 or later radios. Since radio software handles all data communication.. so it is still possible that radio software caused the problem (i think )
Ive had this problem since I first got the N1, was happening even while running stock 2.1 so I dont think it has to do with the OS. I had written it off thinking it was an issue with TMO and their network. But at this point doesnt seem like that.
I've ran 4.06 radio in the past and still the problem presented itself so Im pretty confident that rolling back to 4.06 isnt going to fix it. I've just recently upgraded to the 5.12 radio so we'll see if that ends up working.
Other than that any other ideas?

Nexus One Wifi Trouble

So chances are you haven't seen me, I'm relatively new to the N1 forums, but not new to hacking/modding (had an Evo 3D before this). I just grabbed this off of Gazelle for a fair price, and supposedly it was fully working.
The N1 had come rooted and running OxygeN1 ROM and everything worked perfectly fine, except for the fact that it doesn't seem to want to find any wifi signals.
Now I'm in the process of selling my Evo 3D, but I haven't sold it yet, and it still connects to wifi (shows I have a valid signal, two bars, etc.), however when I turn wifi on my shiny semi new N1, it supposedly scans, but doesn't pick up the fact that there are any wifi signals around. This is a bit problematic, as the SIM card I bought for it is still being shipped. In other words, when my 3D is gone I'll essentially be without a phone until I can activate it on T-Mobile.
So I suppose the main point of this is, why isn't my N1 connecting to wifi? Any ideas? (router is a,b,g,n compatible by the way, so it can't be that it only fires off "n" signals)
Or perhaps a method to revert it back to 100% stock to see if it works on that?

Have you tried to flash a different ROM or reboot your router? Or tried the WifiFix app?
I've tried the router one, I have not yet flashed another ROM (I'd like to learn a bit more about the device first) although I have done a factory reset.
I have not however, tried the wifix app... I'll have to try that.
EDIT: I tried Wifi Fixer, but it still wouldn't connect.
EDIT2: Just tried this ROM, and it still won't connect. Any other ideas?
