[Q] 1x Data?

I've rooted my G2X and when i reach an area where i have 3g/4g, itll say 1x at the top. my network is set to WCDMA preferred. is 1x another means of saying 3g or what? I know when i have hspa+ in the area itll say '4g' (i flashed the mod to have it say that rather than just the plain 'h')
Can anyone explain to me 1x in a nutshell?

1x is cdma2000 technology. 1x means 1 x the Radio Transmission Technology which any cdma2000 network employs and is a 1.23MHz single carrier.

Weird

You're roaming on Sprint or Verizon there. Might wanna stop that. WCDMA is non SIM carriers. So running WCDMA is having you roam on other carriers. T-Mobile doesn't support WCDMA.

No... He means in the Android settings he has it set to GSM/WCDMA preferred which means that he can use 2G and 3G/4G networks, but prefers the 3G/4G, it can actually be quite battery draining... but that's besides the point. The terminology used in the Android settings is wrong, calling GSM 2G and WCDMA 3G/4G. He isn't roaming.

Probably this guys rooted OS was adapted from some cdma phone's OS. I was had a HTC touch (which was cdma phone) but had GPRS settings on the custom NFSFAN rom.

[Q]Mobile network problem during searching carrier.

Hello i didn't find anywhere similar problem. I have N5, rooted and with stock rom & kernel, i have a problem with mobile network. In my country there is a network "Play" and it is using own transmitters or from other networks and it is working as roaming network. When i want to find other compatible carriers from menu (manual mode) searching took so much time, more than few minutes. There is a sollution for this? Or fix?
Same situation when i switch from 2G to LTE mode - same results.
Best regards g1b50n

I don't think you can just switch carriers from the network menu. You need their sim card to use them. "Roaming" is usually just automatic, if you have it enabled in setting.
You don't click on different carriers to roam. At least I've never heard of that. To use a carrier, you need their sim and APN settings.
Call your carrier and ask about it. They should know exactly how it should work.

In my country carrier "Play" allow to use other networks. I mean a problem when i want to find other carriers

Then took so much time to find other networks.
I can connect with all of them (only orange not working cause was for testing)
Just want to know why looking for other networks take so much time.

Sorry, never heard of it....so can't guess why.
It probably falls under the" it is what it is" category.

3G Band 900 in H950?

Since i flash H950PR, cant connect to 3G in band 900, Get FAIL in hidden Menu, i thought this phone had 3G Band 900.
can Stock ATT rom user confirm if they get Fail in the Network Settings on this band in hidden Menu?
is there a way to enable it in H950PR?
using this great phone in only 2G rightnow
If there is another Thread with this solution excuse me, didnt find it in the forums.
PD: Amazing device the flex 2(only using it in 5.1.1 PR), its prettier than G4 in my opinion.

If i use shortcur master i can select the hidden menu app and open the network mode screen which lets you choose bands or automatic. The dialer shortcut is useless on my att h950 511 11z

Ok, thanks. It seems that the 11z have a diferent radio baseband than the h950pr, i cant connect to the wcdma 900, it says FAIL in the hidden menu, so it does with lte band 12. Guess ill have to wait to a safe way to flash 11z from h950pr, or change the baseband setting to connect to this band.

No service - Emergency Calls only - Nexus 5 D821 in France

Hi,
Hi
A friend of mine have lost signal on his nexus 5 since Thursday 6 October 2016.
I have noticed the phone took a security update of the 05 October.
The sim is recognized. I tried with my own sim too.
The apn settings is good according to the provider website.
The imei is present.
When i search network operator, he take one minute at least and find my operator but afet that he i pick him i have the message "can't connect to this network riht now. Try again later"
I tried to flash a precedent stock version but no signal.
I tried to flash the modem too (downgrade) and no change
My last option is i have noticed that when i tap *#*#4636#*#* on the phone, i can select radio band and after that i see "usa band" but i'm in france.
In France we use GSM 900 and also LTE (4G)
I tried to flash the cyanogen last version and i see a change but still no service, no signal.
The change is i can see usa band + japan band now but no Europe band (if that exist).
It's look like those settings are decided by the rom or by the kernel (but not the modem firmware)
If someone in France or Europe can tell me if he has Europe band in select radio band, that would help me to understand better

Try this method:

If it fails, also try this one:

Thanks.
I just tried both method.
Though now i have access to euro band, the phone still stay in no service... very weird.
I suppose it's an hardware trouble finally.
Thanks anyway, i give up ^^

How to change band radio

Hi everyone,
my used xperia xz have signal/network issue: when 4G is on and i receive a call the signal is so low that i have to move around or turn off lte to have a better experience; data signal is so low and laggy, sometime havent signal indoor etc... I bought a used device, originally come with UK firmware and this specs:
Android 8.0
Phone Software Version: 1302-9157_41.3.A.2.171
Global-LTE3A
Generic-41.3.a.2.171
S1 Boot version: 1299-4832 S1_BOOT_MSM8996_LA2.0_O_204
BASEBAND: 8996-8996.gwn.prodQ-00070-40
Customization version: 1305-7307R8E
After a guide of Kuarinfou to flash a firmware i flashed an italian firmware (cause i live in italy and i thinked to could solve it flashing an italian fw) but the signal/network issues are still there. I checked the service menu and I notice that:
- in the network preference's list there isnt the option "LTE/UMTS/GSM" but only LTE/UMTS or LTE/CDMA or LTE only or CDMA only and others combinations
- in the "select band radio" (the first option after clicking the three dots at the top) there are only 3 option: Automatic - America - Japan. NOT Europe!!!!
So I suppose this could be the reason of the issue. I suppose there is a network "limitation" about frequencies.
My questions are:
1) Could be that the reason of the issue?
2) Is there a way to change the band radio?
3) Is there a way to set on europe band and disable US or other bands?
I have read the post about how to modify lte carrier aggregation, could be the solution?
I will attach a screenshot for more info.
Hope in your experience and kindness.
Anyway, thanks you for the attention
