Hello,
My sister bought me a Moto G 2nd from US, but it seems to be the US version (RETUSA_AWS) and I live in Europe, where the phone works (voice calls work) but internet can only connect to GPRS (although I have 3G active).
Is there something I can do (like flash a new firmware) to make 3G work in Europe or it's hardware related and there is nothing to do?
Thanks in advance!
Nope -- US version working in EU as designed & specced. The radio hardware is different.

Hi,
I just got a UK Touch Diamond, and using in US with AT&T. Apparently 3G is not working, and I'm pretty much stuck with GPRS or EDGE. I was wondering if it would be possible to add 3G (US) support by installing a US radio ROM. Or will I need to replace the phone with a US version?
Thanks
Right for the last time!!!!, the uk/asian spec of the Diamond will not support 3G in the USA because it IS MISSING the attenna for that band and no updated rom etc will ever fix that problem. Its a hardware problem rather than a software problem
If you want 3G in the US then wait for the American version of the Diamond....should be out by July sometime and will support 3G in US.
Hi guys, just a quick question for you Motorola Milestone users that use Vodafone's network in New Zealand.
First off, I know that Vodafone NZ does not support Milestone. Only Telecom XT supports it. However, Vodafone does support and sell Milestone 2, so I don't see why this couldn't be possible.
Anyway, I'm currently using Android v2.1 (Eclair). I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF on it, and it works fine and all except it's obviously for Telecom XT, therefore I can't get my Vodafone SIM card to work properly. If I change the network from 2G to 3G, then it works. I don't get full signal bars (4 bars), but I get 3 bars most of the time which is pretty stable so it's not bad. However, if I switch to 2G (to save battery) then I get no bars at all, completely empty. It doesn't seem to be able to detect any network at all when I switch to 2G. Whereas switching to 3G the phone is able to detect all 3 networks in New Zealand (Vodafone, Telecom, 2Degree).
Now the reason why I'm on Android v2.1 is because when I was on v2.2 (Froyo), it has all sorts of problems with the WIFI. It's probably because of the kernel or something, and it seems A LOT of people have the same problem with me on v2.2 as well. If you do a quick Google search on wifi problems on Milestone then you'll understand why. A lot of people have suggested to flash back to v2.1 to fix this, and so I tried and it did indeed work for me. But since the only available SBF for v2.1 for New Zealand is for Telecom XT, now I have this new problem to deal with. It's not a big deal, I can stay on 3G. But if possible, I'd rather not because it seems v2.1 uses up battery more qiuckly, and the fact that using 3G uses more battery means I have to charge often and that's something I hate doing.
Now here's an important note. When I received my Milestone which came with v2.2 (Froyo) pre-installed, it was using Europe/UK I believe. It doesn't have problems with Vodafone's network on 2G at all, however like I mentioned it does have problems with the wifi. But the point is, the 2G network for Vodafone works fine on it.
So ya I'm just wondering, are there any Milestone users out there that flashed a different SBF, say Europe for example, and able to get the Vodafone network to work fine on 2G, while also making wifi work fine as well?
Or, are there any basebands for New Zealand that I can flash? There doesn't seem to be any from what I found.
Oh and here's where I found the SBF files in case you're wondering, here's the link for v2.1 (Eclair):

and here's the link for v2.2 (Froyo):

Hi,
I am having the following situation with my mobile data.
Bought an HTC One in Germany, everything works well, took it to Peru (Claro Network) where I currently live, also everything worked fine.
Rooted the device and installed Android Revolution 12.1. - everything worked good.
Installed Google Edition Rom - not sure if EDGE or 3G / 4G worked. Installed again Android Revolution (this time 12.2) and since then I only get EDGE coverage (yes, i am in an area with 3G and 4G coverage - my kids phones work without issue). I believe that the Android Revolution does not touch the radio so I guess the Google Edition is/was the initiatior of the problem.
Thought that it might be the Radio, and flashed the up to date T-Mobile Germany radios (as they worked in the beginning), but no change.
What to do? Is there some other component which might effect the EDGE / 3G & 4G reception? Anyone has a Claro Peru radio to make a final check?
Attaching screenshoot of Firmware etc.
Thanks alot,
TK
Go to settings -> Mobile Data
There is a "Network Mode" section make sure it is on GSM WCDMA LTE auto
If that doesnt work, make sure you are on the correct "access point" I, for whatever reason, have the GSM access point and a "WAP" one for my company. One time it auto-selected WAP and I was having issues with internet.
Hi,
yes all activated. Just did some more research ... and maybe someone can help.
I am having a M7_UL version but it was bought in Europe, and does not support the 850 3G band which I need overhere in Peru. I am stuck on the 1.54 Bootloader. How can I get this to work. A Canadian Radio e.g. would do as it support the 850 Band.
Thanks alot for a hint,

LTE will not work in Europe because in the USA, they are using different frequencies (Droid 4 is made for Verizon Wireless in USA only). So far, I haven't heard about any hack that can make it work.
3G should work fine.

Probably you are missing the "Patch to fully enable GSM on Verizon CDMA phones with Android"
http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android
LTE will not wok but GSM and 3G should be fine with the patch in Europe.
I also have a droid 4 xt894 phone using it in India, i have flashed the Patch to enable gsm from cdma, everything is working just fine but I'm not Able to use my 3g services. It remains on for about five minutes and then the Network Notifier goes blank, shows no sim card again the Network comes but no 3g! Trying to fix this but can't find a way, Please help
I'm using the phone in Europe with all feutures. Just install CM. The gsm patch helps but phone can work also wihtout it - calls, sms, data. With patch the phone is connecting faster to mobile network.
Hello All!
Im new at this topic, because some weeks ago, i bought a z3 play phone, i coming from a moto maxx (quark) from motorola..
I want to know how i can enable vowifi/ wifi calling for use with my z3 play, because i cant found this option on the menu, when i search it, only appears the option for "enhanced 4G mode" that include Volte calls (volte works well and wifi calling works in other phones but with my z3 play no) but i want use with wifi calling, currently im using android pie, and the model is, XT1929-6, opencl channel.
can some one help me with this?, could be useful change to other stock rom?, opencl -> retla, or retail?, the current software compilation is: PPWS29.131-27-1-11
Thanks you a lot!

What mobile carrier do you have? That's the determining factor since it works just fine with some carriers as is

I have bought this phone on carrier called claro, if I install lineage or resurrection remix could be use wifi calling or volte ?
I mean what carrier are you using it on? If you using Claro Argentina then perhaps it should work. If you're trying to use it on another ClaroNetwork I'm not sure. you need to specify what network and what country that you're going to use it on as well as what network and what country the model is. For Verizon they only support Wi-Fi calling on models they sell. The same with AT&T.

My carrier is claro chile, in my case. When I use other simcard(with volte is working on other phone) in this phone. Not works, but if I use the. Claro simcard only appears volte.
I want to know if flash the resurrection remix. For example, could be possible use both services. But I’m not sure if this work or not. Up today I don’t know for someone that are using resurrection that says if volte / vowifi works in this custom rom.
