Could someone make a baseband update to support all 3g bands. I realised the optimus 2x until now has had this. Can someone update the radio to support 850/900/1700/1900/2100 bands so international users can fully enjoy without the data messing up. Uk runs on 2100 but still sometimes my connection times out in data every 5 Minuets.
Not possible.
I wonder this should be a basic question for a ROM developer.
Messing with the baseband is too dangerous and can brick a phone instantly if something's wrong with the programming.
Sorry man, no one's gonna do it.

I have not seen anyone modify a baseband , no source, and i just figured it was locked and couldnt be decompiled since i never saw anyone even attempt it.

It would expand the capabilities of our phone and allow us to truly run any network. It would also make our phone more valuable to be honest.

Does the g2x have the hardware for that? Network capability is based on hardware. Hence why tmobile phones will never get 3g on
At&t, they just don't have the ability to. No amount of software twiddling can change that.
Sent from my T-mobile G2
The phone supposedly supports all bands, just as the O2x according to T-Mobile and the FCC. Shortly after its release we learned T-Mobile locked it down until the AT&T merger goes through.
A carrier in Canada is releasing a version of the G2x. Perhaps it will not have the baselands locked like T-Mobile has it.

Can anyone confirm that this works on att network? Even on tmobiles website it says it supports the 850 band but i saw a report on engadget that they were having trouble connecting. Can anyone tell me if this phone has a locked bootloader? As of now i have an atrix but i would prefer vanilla android.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It currently only supports ATT 2G. The hardware is capable of 3G but the bands are blocked out. There is some hope they can be enabled via a software fix, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is typical for carrier phones. Of course they don't want to sell a phone that works great with other carriers. The Phone supports the bands but the radio/software is blocking use (per Tmobile). It was already quoted that Tmobile will unlock the AT&T 3G once the merger goes through.
The bootloader is unlocked. We already have root and Clockwork Recovery setup on stock Android. LG has even already released the source for the kernel. CM7 is also already on the phone but not quite prime time.
Once custom roms are published, we'll be good to go. Coming from a Nexus One, I'm glad this phone is just as open.
I'm sure someone will unofficially enable the at&t 3G, just give it a little time.

Well no big deal anymore [email protected] I just cancelled my att plan and joined tmobile to get this phone

The service manual clearly states that the phone only supports WCDMA FDD1(2100) and FDD4 (1700). Theres no mention of WCDMA FDD5(850) anywhere, not even in the block diagrams of the RF circuits.

Hi guys I have been getting slow speeds, on my 4g galaxy s is really slow the top is 0.12mbps beyond that it can't even touch 0.13, is something wrong with the radio?, i called my service provider and they said that my service was fine and it could be a problem with the phone. The phone is brand new and it started a couple of days ago, they also say it may be a problem with the towers in my area. It has to do with the phone I think because the tower cant be bad for days

I'd assume your service provider would know the status of the towers they utilize, especially since its been a "couple" of days. But, I do believe more information would have to be provided in order to receive any useful help

Hi sure!, my firmware is 2.3.5 from tmobile is T959VUVKJ1 I got it from android solution. I had T959VUVI1 and still the same issue, then I flashed 2.3.3 and Still! then I just went back to 2.3.5 T959VUVKJ1. I don't know my driver modem, I have heard it may have an issue, how can I access that information?. FYI It's Simple Mobile my provider

Well a few days ago but it was working fine until I started this issue with my old rom T959VUVI1 then I just falshed to the october one and still the same issue. I know 2.3.5 didn't cause the problem what I do know is that I installed radio apps from the appstore and then it started happening. !
Call them and have them reset the phone service.. What ROM if any are you using? Try flashing a few different modems on your phone. I currently run KI3 with Valhalla 1.3.2 in the sticks and get perfect service however that's through t-mobile.

I think there's some local ones, but I think simple may be the only one that uses Tmobile lines.
Simple throttles at around
2.2gb for me.

so where did you get the rom from?
just reflash another rom from the bible thread in the dev section. if you still get the problem, try to flash another modem and test them all out. if you still get the same problem, go somewhere that you know for a fact has great signal and try the modems again. if you still get it, it is a phone issue. you may also want to make sure you have the latest sim card. if you are using an older one, you will run into problems with the upgrades to the towers.
Read his reply above.wasn't a phone issue. He's using simple mobile and was throttled.

Hi,
I've really been looking around to get myself a new phone to use on tmobile.
I was just wondering if using a T959V modem on an infuse would bring the ability to use tmobile's 1700mhz HSPA bands.
lemme know if you any of you guys are doing this.
Thanks,

I know the modem can disable certain talk freqs but I think because T-Mobile data freqs are so unique to tmo that other phones just don't support them. it could also be in the ril or even antenna tuning. I've never counted it out but figured someone would have had it figured out by now. I don't feel like getting a tmo sim card just to try it out.

No, it's a hardware limitation, not software/firmware, you'll only be able to utilize EDGE data/gsm.

might be a while before I try so don't hold your breath...
the thing that is weird is good devs have said it'll never happen. what bothers me is the ril,and modem both work and the chip is the same. now Im no expert on wireless or antenna design but antennas can be tuned and its posible there are separate antennae for different freqs not just differt types of connection. there may also be something else needed to support T-Mobile aws but I have a hard time believing its a hardware dependency and not a firmware/framework dependency other than the antenna just being inefficient... but there may be some supporting chip or something. nobody really knows. all we can do is use as much T-Mobile firmware as possible and hope its not a kernel dependency or hardware. I know I don't have the skills for the kernel and if its hardware its a waist of time.
So as for now there is no progress on this field?
Do not really want to change my Infuse especially when there are no good phones for TMobile except HTC One S(((
Assuming XDA made their own tablet and phone that run JB Support Cyanogenmod and CWM / TWRP and are completely open designed with root out of the box, would you buy them?
Also if you say no, why? What if they donated to cancer research or its the only way the site could stay open?
I personally would as CM + CWM / TWRP + JB would be FTW!
I say no, not because I wouldn't support XDA but because Verizon would never let me activate such a device on their network. Open? Rooted? Which carriers would go for that?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Scott. No way carriers would allow an open and rooted phone go on their network. Although, Republic wireless' phones (I think they have one right now) runs a modified version of CM7 to work on their network, which is a slave to Sprint.
So maybe that would be the future. Eventually.
I, for one, would buy it. Especially if it were built by Samsung or ASUS

Don't use Verizon. Slap a gsm sim in there.
What if XDA made their own network?
Would you buy an XDA phone/tablet then?

What on earth are you talking about? People use unlocked phones on t-mobile and at&t (as well as smaller networks based off them) all the time. There's pretty much nothing to stop you from just plopping a sim card in there and using it.
Perhaps you're confusing "carriers" with "cdma carriers", who do pull the have-to-use-our-fones screw-you-over trick.
Has long has it has the same signal, shouldnt it be able to connect to any network ? I know that there would be no problem with that and i would definitively buy it. 100% sure.

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.
