I have a rooted stock g2x. I tried scanning the set cpu barcode on here and it downloaded. I opened rom manger and the phone restarted but I don't see the app. Did I do something wrong?
Also I'm trapped in my contract and have NO 3g/4g in my area. Is there a way I could unlock my phone and roam other networks? (I have my phone set to data roaming with zero success) Or is AT&T 3g in a diff freq band? Also are there any benefits to changing my baseband ?
Would I still be able to make wifi calls if I used CM7? Is CM7 more stable than stock froyo?
Thanks in advance
TMO 3g and "4g" are different frequencies than ATT and other carriers in the US, so there is no way to mod the phone to use them. I'm not an expert but messing with the baseband seems to be a recipe for disaster based on my browsing of this forum.
Also I recently went from stock to Eagles Blood 2.2 which is based on cyanogen. Wifi calling works fine. SMS works fine, however mms over wifi doesn't seem to work, its a known issue. Overall the rom is noticeably faster plus there are additional options and eye candy available.

Hi,
I have been reading a lot in this forum since I am now a new owner of the xt720 and I have been able to install and test with Dexter's and Khal's roms, however I am unable to have any internet connection other than on my WIFI.
I am on "Videotron" network in Canada, I have a nandbackup of my stock ROM and when I flash it back I can connect to their 3G network.
I think this could be related to the base band configuration of the ROM, since it seems to be coming from UK.
Is there anyone here that have been able to upgrade to froyo 2.2 on "Videotron" and connect to their 3G network?
Thanks a lot for your time.
I would think you need to set up your APN
Hi 3rdstring,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already did that, I took note of everything from the stock APN and this is still not working.
Hello,
I have played around with my "Stock" APN settings and I have manged to make it works
Now time to test froyo 2.2
Thanks
You could try something like this so you don't have to manually enter them every time>
Wow thank you very much
Will install it and backup my settings

Thanks again.
Is there anything we could do to boost our antennas? While on personared I could get a signal in a bomb shelter. For real, my house is older and has a bomb shelter. Now with steelblue, I struggle to get full signals around my house and neighborhood. Flashed back to test and personared picked up great, just not stable enough for me to make my permanent rom.
Any ideas how to boost the antenna strength?
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I've completely lost 3G ability on my NS, and I'm not sure what happened.
Here's my order of tweaks:
CM7 nightly (with 3G)
MIUI (with 3G)
ICS rom from SDK (no more 3G!)
ICS from kwiboo (no 3G)
ICS from koush (no 3G)
CM7 stable (no 3G)
I guess sometime during my playtime with the ICS from SDK build, something messed something up and subsequently I cannot get 3G anymore, regardless of ROM.
I'm not sure where even to begin troubleshooting.
- Yes, "use only 2G networks" is unchecked
- My APN should be correct, as they are the ones that loaded automatically from the ROMs. That has always worked before
Anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate for help. I haven't had 3G for what feels like a month!
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19424857 in this post there is a link to the radios try flashing one of those to see if that fixes things. If not try flashing a stock unrooted rom and start over

You know what? A new radio worked! I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Seems so easy in hindsight.
This brings up another interesting thing. Seems like a lot of the radios that used to give me 3g don't give it to me anymore, including the most popular ones people are using. That's weird...
edit: Actually, no radio issues anymore. My old radio gets 3g again, as well as others. I just needed to rotate the radio versions a few times and reboot a few more times and it fixed itself. Totally weird, but no more problems!
I had the same issue on AT&T 2 nights ago. It turned out that it was an AT&T network issue which was confirmed by tech. support.
Hi, since I got my Galaxy s3, I'm always roaming. I didn't have to stray too far away from the store before the roaming started to happen. It seems that if I do not have 3g, or 4g I'm constantly roaming. I have read on here that there is a way to fix the always roaming issue, but I didn't know if it applied to flashing a bad rom and then getting the always on roaming message. Mine has been like this since day 1 when I bought the phone at completely stock settings. I recently flashed CleanROM, and still have the always on roaming messages.
Should I attempt to use this application, or would I risk doing something terrible to the phone?
what prl do you have? any just to make sure what carrier?
Different prl's can cause it to roam. You may can pull battery and sim and sdcard, wait 30 sec or so reinstall any boot. Then check prl again, see if it changes.

What is PRL? I do have Verizon. .. I also have a nationwide plan, so I know for certain I'm not being charged for roaming, it just shows that I am all the time.
"HOME-ONLY roam setting on touch wiz roms like on CM based roms
New to posting on here, so be patient... I have been flashing roms however since the Motorola droid 1 and love the mods we can do to our phones. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, flashed to CleanRom, newest version as of this date. I love the battery life on this Rom but work near the Mexican border where it easily switches to roaming. My question is that on CM roms I'm able to go into roaming settings and select either Automatic (default) or Home Only which will prevent anything but a Verizon signal. Works awesome. I don't know why this is unique to CM or AOSP roms and not touch wiz. Is there a way we can have that added or even an app that will do that very thing? Sometimes I have to just backup my rom and flash CM just to use my phone without roaming on to the Mexican cell tower. It's very frustrating. Thanks for any advice.
If this needs to be in its own thread, could someone let me know and help me out with that?
Thanks, Scott.

Hi All,
Just recently bought an N5, and really loving it. On stock ROM, I have no problem with LTE connectivity, wifi etc... but whenever I install a custom ROM, I lose that connectivity. I 'force' the LTE APN from settings, and I've also tried creating a new APN with the correct settings for my region, however I never get the LTE connection. The icon at the top just stays at the "H" or "H+", which if my memory serves me correct refers to HSDPA or something like that (aka 3g). I use an unlimited data plan, so this really sucks.
Anyone know a workaround where I can use custom ROMS and use them here in Korea? (SKT carrier)
Thanks,
J
p.s. any suggestions would be welcome, as I'm aware that this sort of problems exist for a lot of N5 owners after searching the web. However I could not find any fixes.
Problem solved, seems like certain ROMs are incompatible? Maybe something to do with the radio frequency / kernel etc...
Not sure why, but installing Xenon HD ROM has solved all my problems !
You can use the /etc/apns-conf.xml from any SK device, like a Korean s4 or the one from the stock n5 rom. Just replace the one in which ever rom you're using.

So I had an old Verizon Galaxy S3 that was laying around, while I was using an old USCC Galaxy S2. Of course I wanted to update, so I picked up a Lollipop rom to tun on the S3 and it works beautifully. Smoothest OS I've had on my phone. This includes custom and/or stock roms. Well, I've been using this rom (CM-12.1) for almost two weeks now, with no issues aside from the normal Camera not connecting, lack of MMS, and no 4G. Camera issues is common with CM12, MMS is just APN settings (I'm hoping), and 4G is due to the different type of 4G radio in the Verizon phone compared to the USCC variant of the S3. I can live without the 4G though, but it would be nice. MMS is kind of annoying, having to tell my friends/family to "send it to me on Facebook". So that's been my experience up until last night...No comes the issue. I flashed a d2usc rom to my d2vzw device last night, and everything went smoothly (aside from the normal issues I mentioned above). It connected to 3G without me having to adjust/change any of the APN settings. Sadly, this rom was QUITE unstable. Programs freezing up and crashing left and right. So I ended up going back to my original d2vzw rom. Now...I can't seem to get it connected to 3G. I can text and make calls just fine, but no data. Every time I attempt to edit the APN settings, nothing happens/connects, or the APN setting i'm working on gets deleted. I've noticed that on the APN setting websites I've found, that there is one setting that is different than mine. Where it tells me to change the MMC, I have MCC. Everytime I change the MNC setting, the APN gets deleted. Let me know what information you need in order to help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for any help in advance!
