Installation Instructions:
ALWAYS HAVE CHARGER CONNECTED WHEN UPDATING A FIRMWARE.
Preparation:
You must disable the CD-ROM drive with AT^U2DIAG=0 on the modem before you can use it on the folio.
Connect your USB modem to your PC, find out the COM port used by the modem and then connect via putty to the COM port and send AT^U2DIAG=0.
Here is a tutorial how to send AT commands using Windows: http://3g-modem.wetpaint.com/page/executing+AT-commands+under+Windows
Also disable the PIN check on your SIM card.
​
Installation:
copy the update.zip to a sdcard, and insert sdcard into folio.
Enter "Recovery menu" when folio is just turned on and press (POWER) once and (VOL up) next.
press (VOL up) Factory reset or system update.
press(VOL down) to continue to system update.
press (VOL up) to confirm system update.
during installation progress bar will show har far it is.
folio will reboot after installation.
Please ignore the "Unsupported USB Device" message. I have not yet manged to remove it.
After reboot a BLACK screen appear for a few minutes or so!! don't worry, its normal! This is only for the first start.​

Please ignore the message. It is incorrect. I will always show up for devices not supported by stock android. I need to modify the firmware heavier to get rid of it. Please connect your modem and see if the signal strength bar will show up.

Do i have to deactivate the PIN CHeck? Or will there come a question for it?
I am testing the stick in my Notebook to be sure Stick and SIM Card are OK.
---> Afer deactivating PIN check and CD-Autoplay i have a signal but Internet doesn´t work for now. I will test a a little bit upstairs. 3G Net isn´t the best here

I have just tested the PIN check - it seems to be broken. I need to investigate this. So please disable it on the SIM card for now.

How do you send AT commands to the USB Modem
You say to disable CD-ROM, disable it sending AT commands...
How do you do this?
On the FOLIO or on a PC/MAC?
Thanks for the tip.

when you report issues like this;
write the brand of your modem, and the model/type seen on probably backside of the usb dongle.
it will help alot.

Are you sure com4 is right? and have you set the Bitrate to 460800?
You can check which COMport is used in the Device Manager under Windows

Foliomod 1.3d, Huawei E1550, Comviq
Fixed the CDROM with putty, ran the update on the Folio.
After bootup I inserted the USBmodem (disabled WiFi), I'm now connected to
Sweden 3G, Comviq , the Icon in the top bar shows an R and strength.
Under Settings, Mobile Network Settings, "Data enabled" is checked.
However, clicking the browser gives:
"No network connection, Browser cannot load this page because there is no internet connection."
I dont get 3G but roaming, assuming this has to do with APN settings I tried to copy settings
from when the modem is in the PC. Not helping By enabling roaming I get a 3G icon with
arrows below but I still cannot access the internet.
Any other setting I should try changing ??
PS:Is it/will it be possible to send/recieve SMS with the Folio using this ??

@ma1999
hi i use the huawei e160e and i can send sms with it.i downloaded a sms widget from the market an i was able to send sms.
and to the other thing,i had the same problem at the first time i made the 3g update.i solved it with apn manager that i downloaded in the market.after the install i made the right apn settings in it an bang i got internet.
here the two progs i used
apn manager
handcent sms
thats not the only one, there are many others that probaly work fine too.

I replaced the SIM card with the one i my mobile (both Comviq/Tele2) and with that card I got an internet connection.
Seems like the org. SIM got blocked out, possibly by trying to many times.
Also, I had to enable Roaming to get it working, dont know why ??
Tried HandCent SMS, did not work though.
Thanks !

Vodafone Huawei R201
I can't seem to get the Vodafone Huawei R201 working. I've tried to disable wifi on the Huawei and everything but it did not work. So I guess this one is not yet supported? or do I need to get a Modem that does not has a mobile wifi router in it?
anyways thx for your work. you're doing a great job

[APP]AR.Pro for Android - Parrot ARDrone Client

I've been maintaining AR.Pro for Android for about two months now. Figured it time I open up a thread here to help those in need of adhoc enabling their devices or if they have questions about AR.Pro in general.

AR.Pro does more than just act as a remote control of the Parrot AR.Drone. It has quite a long feature list ranging from object detection and tracking, to complete control over the configuration of your drone, including forward and back flashing firmwares, rebooting it remotely, and even applying a patch that frees the drone of its gimped adhoc only setup, enabling it to connect to Access Points and Hotspots.
I maintain a blog for the application (and have associated help pages) at my website: http://www.shellware.com
Additionally I'm currently maintaining two versions of AR.Pro. AR.Pro Lite is a limited function free download and the full version of AR.Pro has an extensive features list:
Firmware 1.4.7 and 1.5.1 Swap
Adaptive Video Support
Android Tablet Support
Full Function Flight Mode (Sensors & Right Pad)
Reversible X/Y Axis Orientation
Deadzone tuning on all axis
Configurable Flight Controls
Object Recognition via Both Cameras
Object Follow/Tracking
Azimuth Based Yaw (Requires Compass)
Yaw Mixing and Rate Control
Flight Timer
Audible Alerts
Infrastructure Wi-Fi Patch
Device Pairing
Rename Drone
Drone Reboot
Optimized NAVDATA Reception
Outdoors / Hull Selection
Altitude LImiter
Built-in Anti-Fly away (not fully tested)
Altitude HUD
Battery Voltage HUD
Shellware's own "Autonomous Flight" option
Complete OpenGL overhaul (features full QVGA display)
"Snapshot" screen shot option
Auto Connect for saved SSIDs option
Metric system support
Drone SSID change option
Drone IP address setting
Information about the Parrot AR.Drone itself can be found here.
And here is the Market link for AR.Pro:
​
I'll be posting additional links over the next couple days going into a little more detail with AR.Pro's Infrastructure Wi-Fi Patch as well as provide some pointers for those wishing to apply wpa_supplicant to their android device to adhoc enable it.
Enjoy!

I can confirm that the ardrone works flawlessly with wifi tether for root users. It took all of 2 minutes to get my drone working with my (rooted) wifi only xoom.
Determine what the adhoc essid is that your drone (normally) hosts. This is typically ardrone_XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the few digits of your drone's serial number.
Open wifi tether (I tested using the latest version available at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list). Select adhoc as the setup-method. Select Change-Lan and use 192.168.1.0/24 as the selected network. Select Change-Ssid and change it to the adhoc essid usually managed by your drone.
Make sure your drone is powered down.
Enable wifi tether and wait for it to become active.
Power up your ardrone, wait for its lights to go green then connect to it using its default address (192.168.1.1) from your favorite android ardrone app.
Go fly!

can u show me step by step to connect to ar drone? my device is htc hd2 and its running android 2.2.1 (hd2 coredroid hd v1.6).

Ill do some poking around tonight and see about posting some instructions for your device. Have you already rooted it? Does it have a (functional) hotspot/software ap? There are a couple paths we can go down.

Any feed back on HTC devices
I am on HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S
I can only connect to Ardrone by following your manual infrastructure guide.
But this is very annoying as I have to carry my laptop everywhere I go because on each reboot I have to repeat the whole procedure

OK Guys
I can finally use my AR DRONE on my HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S without manually infrastructring it each time powering up the AR DRONE, the other HTC devices should work the same way
here are the links
For Froyo this LINK
For Gingerbread this LINK

Just got the ar drone and xoom (rooted w/ ad-hoc enabled).
Using the AR Pro app i cannot get the camera facing down to work.
Couldn't get it to update from 1.1.3 to 1.4.7or1.5.1 (couldn't ftp update either, had to use a iProduct and give it some version # via telnet)
But the camera, why does it not work??

Odd state your drone was in.
AR.Pro's firmware installation process does reset any existing version information on the drone so that it can be downgraded/upgraded. If you were on firmware 1.1.3 it is possible that the ROM's file system has some subtle differences. I have seen a couple drones in an odd state as shipped from Parrot with a couple different people too -- missing symlinks / mounts, etc.
I suspect now that you're on 1.4.7 you can flash forward/backward through AR.Pro without issue.

Parrot broke backwards compatibility for the camera controls when it released 1.4.7. It should work fine on a Xoom (Xoom wifi is one of my test devices) using the latest firmware.

I believe this somewhat explains or just acknowledged the upgrade issue i saw http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/02/ar-drone-updade-issue/
I used an iPod touch with the free flight 1.7.1 to upgrade and it install 1.5.1. Made a very noticeable improvement. I haven't tried flashing it since.
As for the camera, today i switched to the downward facing camera and it work fine but when changing back there was a black square in the upper left corner. I switch back a forth a couple more times and it went away, on firmware 1.5.1. Yesterday when i tried the downward cam it was with firmware 1.1.3.
Also using xoom wifi-only.

I believe that had more to do with the bootloader they were using in freeflight with the initial 1.4.7 release. The repackaged version's actual firmware was no different than the prior release.

Disregard the comments i made about the downward camera not functioning properly, operator error...
Other then that the xoom w/ ad-hoc patch and arpro are running excellent.

Details on how to connect an SGS2 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14110670#post14110670

Here are details for adhoc enabling a transformer. May work with other 2.3.4 devices too.

V1.25 now up on the Market. Added dual stick controls, fixed a couple bugs, and introduced the AR.Pro Firmware Pack.

Hi
After upgrading into the latest update of Ar.Pro , I think there is a malfunction.
First of all the height bar came into the middle of the screen
Secondly , the AR Drone , does't rotate Left and Right and doesn't fly up and down, basically the right round control button does not control the Ar Drone.
I tried it with 2 different phones
Htc Incredible S and Htc Desire HD
Just before the upgrade, both worked ok !
Did you change something on the controls ? Or am I making a mistake ?

Non pro mode has changed slightly due to a redesign of the control surfaces to support dual stick mode. In non-pro mode the left control button must be activated (red) for any control surfaces to function. This is a subtle change from before where you still had yaw/elevator control without the left side safety being active. I may revisit this again depending upon feedback.
Additionally, the left side safety switch is now a toggle. You should be able to remove your finger from the button and the control surfaces will remain active until you touch it a second time.
Moving the altimeter to the center of the screen was necessary to accommodate the addition of the left hand side control sticks.
Hope this helps,
Shell

Hi
Just tried it like you said and it works !!!!
However there is a problem with that , when the red button is staying alive/active even a slightest move on the phone cause unwanted left right front backwards movements.
I think the right control must work as it used to work and the red button must be active as far as you press on it.
I am quite OK when piloting the Ar Drone and I am really having difficulties control it like this especially when I try to pilot Ar Drone in indoor areas where I fly it under/over objects.
Some times you need to take a breath and let the Ar Drone hoover but since the red btton is staying alive even the slightest move activates the Ar Drone to move somewhere out of control.
Regarding the altimeter , being in the middle does not bother me much but there are other Android applications where you can control with dual sticks and altimeter still being on the left.
I strongly believe that almost nobody is using the dual sticks , many use the one stick method.
I would prefer previous version button control .
thanks

Dual stick control has been the most commonly asked for feature request.
I'll see about adjustments in the areas you mention. Shouldn't be a problem.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

Since I don`t use the Dual Stick it shouldn`t be a problem for me.
Regarding the RED BUTTON press , this is really important, I just tried it again but it need work ...... Once I take my finger off the Red Button , it should automatically turn GREY rather than staying RED .
Apart from that it`s perfect
Is it possible to move the altimeter to the left side when using one stick operation ?
I have tried almost all Ar Drone applications in the market for Android, yours is cleary the best and it deserves every penny I paid.

"Shouldnt be a problem" means it shouldnt be a problem for me to address your concerns... just needs a little TLC on my part.

How to use QPST and QXDM to verify if phone is working.

The following instructions are to be used to determine if your cell phone's transmit and receive functions are working when your phone doesn't successfully make phone calls. In the instructions, I've included backing up your phone's NV memory settings in case you inadvertently change the phone's settings or brick your phone (assuming the phone wasn't already bricked).
1) Download QPST
http://hosting.ecap-droid.com/Droid/...pub=bxfo8sfkv6
2) Install QPST (set it to run as Administrator and pin it to the Start Menu)
3) Download and install QXDM (set it to run as Administrator and pin it to the Start Menu)
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmzmngemgmm
4) Download LG Drivers
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999
5) Install LG Drivers
6) In the phone’s Settings -> Applications -> Development -> enable USB debugging
7) Access the phone's hidden menu using the phone keypad (dialer), enter: 1809#*999#
8) In Port Setting enable CP USB (do not enable Retain ...) then press: OK
9) Plug your phone into the USB port and wait a few seconds until the USB drivers install.
10) Access the LGE Mobile USB Modem driver through Control Panel -> Device Manager -> LGE Mobile USB Modem -> Advanced -> Advanced Port Settings
11) Click on the box next to “Append to Log” so that a checkmark is in that box.
12) Click on: Query Modem
The window above “Query Modem” should fill up with (the following data is from my phone, your phone’s Revision may be and IMEI will be somewhat different):
“ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - 0
AT+FCLASS=? - +FCLASS: (0-1)
AT#CLS=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
ATI1 - Manufacturer: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Model: 0
Revision: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 11 2012 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
IMEI: 0127XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (I’ve X’d out my IMEI for security reasons)
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES
ETC…”
If that doesn’t happen, then the Port Setting has probably reverted back to “AP USB” and will need to be changed back to “CP USB” or the LG drivers didn't install fully or correctly or the computer's usb connection or the usb cable has a problem. Check the phone’s screen and see if the Port Setting is still at “CP USB”. If it’s not (back on “AP USB”) redo step 8. If the setting is still at "CP USB" then reinstall the LG drivers. If there's still a problem, it may be the computer's USB port or the USB cable.
13) Click on: View log
The phone’s current IMEI and other information is listed in the information.
14) In the terminal port setting, get the LGE Mobile USB Modem COM Port number by accessing the USB driver through Control Panel -> Device Manager -> LGE Mobile USB Modem -> Advanced -> Advanced Port Settings -> COM Port Number
Write down the port number.
15) Close the LGE Mobile USB Modem Properties window.
QPST
16) Run QPST Configuration from QPST folder in the Start Menu
17) In QPST Configuration, click on: Ports tab
18) In Ports window, click on the Port which has the phone listed as FFA-QSC6295 (DEAD00D) with the USB Link
19) Write down the COM port number with USB Link. For example: COM44 = 44 It should match the COM Port Number you previously wrote down in step 13.
20) In QPST Configuration, click on: Phone tab
21) In Active Phones window, click on the phone listed as FFA-QSC6295 DEAD00D ZRF6500 with the same COM port as you wrote down previously
22) In the QPST Configuration menu, click on: Start Clients, and click on: Software Download
23) In QPST Software Download, click on the: Backup tab
24) A dialog box should appear with the same COM port number as you selected previously and there should be a name for the QCN File which has the ESN number in it (DEAD00D_1.qcn) and an SPC (Service Programming Code) number of 000000
25) If you want to, add information to the QCN File name to make it more explanatory. For example:
DEAD00D_1_My_Phone_NV_Backup.qcn
26) Browse to a location you want to save the QCN backup file to
27)Click on: Start
28) Run RF NV Manager from the QPST folder in the Start Menu
29) In the RF NV Manager menu, click on: Setting, and click on: Comport
30) In the Comport Configuration dialog box, click on the arrow in the selection window and select the port number you wrote down from step and click on: OK
31) In the RF NV Manager menu, click on: File, and click on: Read From Phone
32) The RF NV Manager window should fill up with the NV items from your phone.
33) In the QPST Configuration Window, Click on: Start Clients
34) Select: Service Programming
35) In the QPST Service Progamming Client window, click on the tab: Settings
36) Click on: Read from Phone
37) In the Codes section, Service Programming should show: 000000
38) In the QPST Service Progamming Client window, click on the tab: UMTS System
39) Click on: Read from Phone
The phones radio band settings and other information should appear with checkmarks next to the bands enabled for the phone's cell radio chip. Even though a radio band is selected, it doesn't necessarily mean that the radio band will work because either the circuitry in the phone isn't connected to a particular radio band's port on the cell radio chip and/or the cell radio band's setup/operating parameters aren't in the phone's cell radio chip firmware. Selecting any/all of them and writing that to the phone will change the phone's cell radio band's settings and, even though bands which won't work are selected, that won't harm the phone (I have all of them selected).
QXDM Professional
40) Start QXDM Professional
41) Click on: Communications
In the Communications dialog box, in Target Port, select the COM port which you wrote down previously (the one that QPST is connected to).
42) Click on: OK
The window should now become active.
43) In the View drop down menu, select: Status (Static) <F9>
The window should fill with information about your phone.
44) In the View drop down menu, select: UMTS Cell Reselection
The window should change and various coloured lines with dots on them should appear which indicates that the phone is communicating with cell towers. If there's no activity, it means that the phone's cell radio is either not working/burnt out, faulty SIM card, or something is preventing the phone from communicating with the cell towers, or something else.
45) In the View drop down menu, select: WCDMA Power
The window should fill with a graph for Receive (RX) and Transmit (TX) power. At the bottom is a blue graph of the phone's received power. If you don't see the blue graph, it probably means that your phone's antenna isn't connected or the phone's cell radio chip is not working/burnt out, or something between the chip and the antenna isn't working. Make a phone call and, near the top at -0-, you should see a green graph of the phone's transmission power. If the green graph doesn't appear, it probably means that your phone's cell radio chip transmit section isn't working/burnt out. If the green graph does appear but your phone isn't able to successfully phone, something else is wrong such as the phone's antenna is disconnected or something is wrong between the cell radio chip and the antenna, or a faulty SIM card or something else.
46) If finished, exit all QXDM, QPST, set your phone's Port Setting to AP USB, disconnect the USB cable, reboot your phone.

I guarantee this will be helpful in the future

You chose xda-dev to claim a M$ security 'alert' is accurate??
The first thing that needs to be said is: EVEN M$ SECURITY ESSENTIALS IS NOT CLAIMING THIS IS ANY SORT OF VIRUS OR MALWARE.
"...programs that have had their purpose obfuscated, often to hinder analysis or detection by antivirus scanners. They commonly employ a combination of methods including encryption, compression, anti-debugging and anti-emulation techniques."

The key words here are OFTEN and COMMONLY, which in this context commonly mean 'possibly' and often mean 'we really just don't have a clue'
What this security alert (lol) actually means is: "when we run this in our automated sandbox, it can't work it out". Considering it is an app that does custom networking with a relatively new proprietary comms chip this is hardly surprising, and just because you're too lazy/stupid/badly coded to work something out doesn't mean it has been obfuscated, it just means you don't get it.
These days anything with any tricky hand coded ML/ASM in it runs the risk of getting branded like this. It is also worth noting that in the past M$ have proved themselves not to be above declaring apps that breach copyright law to be 'malware'.
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WASN'T WRITTEN USING VISUAL STUDIO DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A SECURITY THREAT
and just because a M$ app pops up an 'alert' box doesn't mean you don't have to read what's written on it......sheesh

I agree,
Microsoft Security Essentials and other anti-virus/anti-malware programs often warn about using programs which are hacked/cracked, generate keys, cracks, etc., but are not malicious. QXDM may have been blacklisted by Microsoft in its Security Essentials because it is supposed to only be available from Qualcomm to their customers and developers after they have agreed to non-disclosure of the software meaning it's not for public consumption. Also, software which cracks, generates keys, etc., uses code similar to malware in order to do what it does so that can cause an alert too. I have been using QXDP and other cracked Qualcomm programs that have generated malware alerts without any problems. If there's a concern, run it sandboxed to prevent any problems.

This QXDM version is nearly 4 years old. As such it's useless for LTE stuff and the like, and also not compatible with QPST 3.7.402.
I tried this and it just doesn't work very well, while VirusTotal is NOT very happy with this... And its even worse than what the picture shows you, as several of the more popular AV's has timed out...

My OP is about determining whether or not a cell phone's radio modem is actually working, not for doing "development" or other sophisticated work. A lot of people don't have an LTE phone anyway so it is still useful for them. The virus warnings are B.S., I've been using the software from the source I supplied without any problems. In your previously unedited reply, you stated "So why don't you come up with something more useful?" well, why don't you? If you have newer versions of QXDM and/or QPST then, instead of complaining about what's available here, post links to the newer versions which are, apparently, infection free.

You're method for determining if the cell modem is "working" is rather over complicated, for the vast majority of people. Most phones has a built in test interface that will show you the same radio variables that you see above, although without graphs etc. In addition there are many other tools that can take rudimentary RF measurements from QC devices. CDMA Tool, MDMA (may not work on all phones) etc... Also a simple AT command terminal port could easily establish proper modem functioning/connections!
HERE is a later version (3.12.714) of QXDM (hopefully without any trojan backdoors!)
Enjoy!

The reason I did the OP was to solve a particular problem that Mazout360 and other developers had regarding determining the on/off status of the mdm6600 radio in the G2X and, hopefully, getting it to work with ICS. Until you showed up, rather late-in-the-game, no one else had contributed a definitive method for doing that with the mdm6600 which, although you have posted criticism and links to mostly irrelevant software and drivers, haven't done. I downloaded QXDM from the link you provided and it won't install because it stops with a message that it requires Internet Explorer version 6 or higher. That stop message is incorrect as the computer I tried to install it on is running Windows 8 Pro and Internet Explorer 10. Apparently, it is incompatible so it is useless for anyone running Windows 8. How about posting something useful with a complete explanation, as I have done, about how to use it with the G2X to determine if the cell radio is working.

It doesn't run on 64bit machines unless you're in 32bit compatibility mode.
Check THIS out. I have it running on both Vista and Win7 (both 32 bit) and no problems whatsoever. And if it is a problem for you, just run it under a VM...
BTW. I'm not attacking you in any way, in fact I appreciate your step-by-step guide. But I'm also showing you there are some much simpler solutions. In addition I'm making other members aware about the dangers of downloading random software...regardless if they are false positives or not.

Pass AT Commands to Modem (Nexus 5)
Hi All,
Host: Windows 7
Device: Google Nexus 5.
Objective : Pass AT Commands to the Modem in Nexus 5 Device.
My device doesn't get detected in QPST tool once connected.
I'm looking for Modem port to pass AT commands to it by feeding Modem port value to Hyperterminal-like software.
However my device is not getting detected in QPST tool.
I have tried most of the drivers for the device, but in vain.
Can anyone guide how to get the Modem port details for Nexus 5.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Use NV_Manager to solve sensor issues?
Hello, i'm gonna try the QPST/QXDM procedure because I hope there will be some NV parameters which control sensors activation.
Some time ago i did something bad and i lost most sensors on my D802 (orientation, gyro, acceleration, magnetic).
System see them but they return null values (checked from logs).
I tried almost everything to solve this, but still i am sure it has something to do with NV parameters.
I there someone who have some info about this?
Thanks!

XT1250 Moto Maxx (Cellcom) Radios are not functioning in Europe need help

I am willing to pay for help as I need this fixed right away. Paypal, Google pay, whatever. It is after 10pm (22.00) where I am so anybody that is free now would be most helpful.
I have an XT1250 Moto Maxx that supposedly has an unlocked bootloader and is carrier unlocked but it appears that the radios are either disabled or the software is not loaded. I am currently in Europe and I need this phone to work. I prefer the stock ROM, the one from Cellcom is quite clean and fast and works so much better than my Verizon Droid Turbo (XT1254) did. If I have to change ROMS I will, but prefer not to. If I can just some how upgrade or change the radios I would prefer.
I used to be much more active in rooting and changing ROMS, but that was years ago and I am quite uncertain again of how to do so. I would love to get on a chat session with someone that can walk me through getting my radios to function.
Here's the deal.
XT1250 Moto Maxx from Cellcom. Worked perfectly on Verizon. Not connecting at all in Europe (Finland Elisa). I previously owned a Droid Turbo from Verizon (XT1254) and that connected just fine here with the same exact SIM card that I am trying to use in my Moto Maxx. The phone recognizes the SIM but does not connect to any towers. In fact it claims it can't see any at all. I've tried all network types but nothing is recognized. SIM card is active and functioning (using currently in my Moto RAZR I).
Model Number: Moto Maxx
Android Version 4.4.4
BAseband Version: MDM9625_104335.118.02.54R,QUARK_CUST
Kernel Version: 3.10.40-perf-g82972e2
[email protected] #1
System Version: 21.11.11.quark_lra.LRA.en.US cellcom
Build Number: KXG21.50-11
Anybody willing to walk me though to open up the radios? I am not asking for free help unless of course that's not allowed on these forums.

Ok, my timing appears off. I need to get to sleep, so if anybody is able/willing to offer some help/guidance my email and/or Hangouts is mikieg18 at gmail. Thanks.

There should be a menu -- maybe in "Mobile Networks" or "More" -- where you can choose the type of bands your prefer to receive.
If you can't find it, you can always download one of the many "Hidden Menu" apps that will show that. I like this one:

Click on the Universal Menu.
_________
Go to this setting, click to open.
__________
A menu will pop up with like a dozen choices.
Your phone probably has LTE/CDMA chosen. You need LTE/GSM.
(There's many, many other choices not shown this screenshot. That screenshot just shows a few of the bands choices (it scrolls), but that's the default choice in my Moto Maxx so I recommend that one.)
____
When you choose that other setting, see if there's any "apply" or "save" setting you need to hit. After that, reboot, and see what happens.
Wow, you are in Finland and have an XT1250. You would be perfect for @Skrilax_CZ to get the info he needs to get CM12.1 working on this Quark phone.

Is your carrier CDMA or gsm? Did you do anything? Check chazzmatt post to see if that works

He needs GSM. He PM'ed me about the same time he posted this thread, and mentioned that. I just went back and quoted that part of the PM to make it more clear...

The ability to choose is still there, it just refuses to locate anything. When I choose GLOBAL, it won't even give me the option to choose a network operator, if I choose LTE/GSM/UMTS it allows me to choose a network operator but it just searches and searches to the point of locking up my device once the screen goes dark forcing me to reboot and then it gives me the message on reboot that no operators can be located.
I installed that Secret Phone Info app and here are the screenshots from that:
If I take the same SIM card and place it into my RAZR I, it connects immediately with Saunalahti (Elisa) the Finnish GSM network I use here. And I know the phone has the ability to communicate with the networks here as my previous Droid Turbo (XT1254) worked for the brief time that I had it here.
So this is why I think the the CellCom software must be blocking the radios somehow but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure that part out. I just know from what I've read here that the bootloader is unlocked so I should be able to 'unlock' any and all radios that are internal to this device. That's where I am stuck right now.

Bah, I just took the screenshots without the SIM card in there. I forgot I removed it. I'll reload and take new screenshots.

Try changing to LTE/GSM, not LTE/GSM/CMDA. Just to see what happens.
If that doesn't work, then unlock bootloader, root and try that...

Forget it, I cannot even run that app anymore with the SIM installed. It just locks up constantly searching for a network. Its driving me nuts.

If you are going into the Mobile network section and are manually searching for network, don't do that. STOP searching for a network. Go to APNs (Access Point Names) and choose the one you want.
When I search for a network, half the time it never even finishes the search. Even though I use AT&T and I get a strong signal. I just go into APNs and choose the APN I need.
But if you mean when the SIM card is in, it's automatically searching, then use the app without the SIM card. Choose LTE/GSM, reboot, THEN put the SIM card in.
I just want you to change the choice that is already there (LTE/GSM/CDMA). We know that doesn't work.
Also, besides using the app, you have gone to Access Point Names and chosen the correct APN?

Jittery/Inconsistent Mobile Hotspot

Hi guys,
Got the Note 10+ last week and the phone is perfect except for one issue which I hope I can get some advice on.
I regularly use my phone as a mobile hotspot (4G) as the hotel WiFi is unreliable.
My Surface Pro connects to this hotspot and ever since using the Note 10 as a hotspot, I've noticed that the connection is very jittery and the lag spikes are such that using apps like Discord is impossible in maintaining a clear and stutter-free conversation.
I put the SIM card back into my last phone (Huawei Mate 9), connected my Surface Pro to its hotspot and the connection is very stable and I have no issues with lag spikes (gaming and discord is trouble-free).
I did a quick test in PingPlotter and here are the results:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, aside from the occasional packet loss from the Mate 9, the connection is much more stable. Both phones are in the same location and right next to the laptop.
My carrier does not throttle tethered connections and although USB tethering works slightly better, I'd like to be able to carry my phone around with me.
I've factory reset the Note 10 twice, turned off the Battery Saving option in the mobile hotspot settings and set the power mode to High Performance to no avail. Windows settings for both connections are at their default.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!
EDIT: 10 post rule, sorry, so I can't upload the photos. But in the Note10 ping results, the ping consistently fluctuates from 150ms to 300ms with a few peaks to 500ms. For the Mate 9, it stays consistently at 150ms.

Brainstorming below... Let me know what you think...
Is it possible to test the connection while in safe mode?
Have you turned on developer options in settings, then see if there is something there that can help?
The sim card with which it works better - is there any software from that same vendor installed on the phone (which may help that sim card or hamper the other one)?
Did you log into the carrier's web site for each sim and compare the settings for each account?
Do the two SIM cards show the same bars of signal strength?
Do the two sims utilize the same frequencies?
Is there a way you can go to the store where they sell the worse performing sim and see if they can let you try another sim from then temporarily (which if it works better maybe the sim with the performance problems has some kind of damage or defect)? Or go into any carrier's store and ask them to allow you to test your bad sim by putting it into another phone and using hotspot functionality on that (or are sim cards locked to the IMEI)?
Is one sim locked and the other one not?
Here's a thought. Is your phone 5g? If so, don't you want to ask one or both carriers to send you new replacement sims that support 5g (some people say it doesn't matter but I'm on Verizon and I verified that a new sim is required to support 5g... Just like they required people to switch sims when going from 3g to 4g... if it should not be a requirement, then it must be something not necessarily related that the carrier wanted to change in the sim...)?

Thanks for the detailed reply and your thoughts KruseLudsMobile!
Just tested it with Windows 10 in safe mode - same results.
I've taken a look at the dev options, and the only thing I can see that's directly related is "Tethering hardware acceleration" which was checked by default. I've unchecked it and retested and same result.
Sorry that I didn't make it clear before - I'm using one SIM card, and I'm moving it between the Note 10 and Mate 9 to compare the mobile hotspot performance, which is quite poor on the Note 10. Because of this, I don't believe the SIM card/carrier/network is at issue here.
Both phones connect to B28 with the Note 10 at -95 dBm and the Mate 9 at -102 dBm.
My carrier (Telstra) does not install or impose any settings and both phones are fully unlocked.
I've also tried inserting the SIM card in the second slot with no luck.
Is there anything else I could possibly try?

Running out of ideas...
"second slot"? You have a dual sim Note 10+?

Yes, SM-N975F to be exact.
I appreciate your help, it's an unusual issue I never thought would come up.
Anyone have other ideas?

Im facing the same problem with my Note 10 lite. My old s8 and even my mom's low end galaxy A21 does not have this problem.
Have you figured out a solution?
If yes, please share it hear to help others with the same situations.
Thanks in advance
