What does RIL Do for our phones? is it safe for us wind users to upgrade it using the GetRIL app? thanks for any info, i asked Nyc, but i didnt want to bug him anymroe any input would be nice
The RIL is the Radio Interface Layer. Each baseband chip has its own set of commands. Android uses a common set of commands. The RIL converts android's baseband commands to the commands the baseband chip understands. That is how your phone talks to the radio to make phone calls, send and receive sms, send and receive packet data, etc. Yes, GetRil is safe to use. If you use a stock rom you don't need it. If you use a custom rom the RIL might be mismatched to your baseband chip. GetRil will change the RIL files to match the baseband chip. It is not necessary but it doesn't hurt either.
I am also with Wind mobile ive had everyone tell me when im driving in my truck they cant hear me its all static and stuff. Ive tried GitRIL and it didnt seem to help but i would be interested to hear what other Wind users are experiencing
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Getril doesnt increases your voice quality, it does make.sure your baseband doesnt get puesdo command from your rom to cause kernel panic or baseband crash that you lose signals. It does effect slightly ur signals and data service to avoid packet loss.

I was wondering if there is a way to make a Windows Mobile (6.5, if that matters) ignore a specific cell/tower.
The problem I'm trying to solve is that in the area I'm living in I am having issues only when connected to a specific tower (I know, this is a provider issue - they are probably having problems with that tower, but...) - so I'm trying to make my phone (HTC Touch HD/Blackstone) ignore that tower completely.
The usual suspects:
1. The radio software itself
2. The RIL (Radio Interface Layer) - is there any validation callback from the RIL when the cell configuration changes ?
TIA for any info on this matter...
As far I know you can't do anything about it. This stuff is buried deep in the radio ROM itself.
There is nothing in the standard RIL library that deals with it. The call backs are for requests for information via RIL_xxxxxxx calls. There is a possibility that it has been implemented through the driver catch all function RIL_DeviceSpecific(), but as this is defined by the OEM as the device and driver is built, you have to know the parameters to pass, and what gets delivered back to the callback routine.
Even if this stuff is there, it tends to be undocumented, and may change from OEM to another, and maybe even from one phone model to the next.

Hello EveryOne:
I have been using this G2x as my second Android phone ever, the first one was HTC Aria..But before and for long years was Window Mobile man..LOL
I have changed the ROM after rotting and unlocking ,started with CM7 stable then moved on and have tried every ROM on this G2x android development forum.
The problem is, i have noticed after changed the stock ROM, that i can't receive international SMS anymore..,however i can send and receive delivery report(of course on tweaked Tmobile Stock ROMs only, as any CM7 ROMs or based ROMs having an issue for delivery report).
I have searched a lot here and there, till found one mismatching (incompatibility) between baseband (M660A...Jun 5) and RIL, even getRil software gave 4 options ,none of them matched with my baseband..
Have tried to change the baseband, of course failed..Tried every possible way..whether KDZ way or LG updater..
The only hope left for me, is that some one can give me the correct RIL for such basband
Plus i ahve to say, that any custom ROM would read the SMSC in very strange code..Not HEX one or even regular number preceded by (+) sign..
002B00310036003100330035003000300039003000300030
Can't update the SMSC, always gives me update error, even though with HEX coding of WIND SMSC number
But whenever get abck to WIND stock ROM, can read SMSC in normal way (+16135009000), but still can't update the SMSC by whatever way.And still no way to receive international SMS.
My entire problem, is i can send and receive local SMS, but international one i can send only and NO MORE RECEIVING(i was receiving before the flash at the first moment used the G2X)
Called the customer service and technical support of WIND thousands times, no one has an explanation for that..
Thanks afor your time and have wonderful day..
Go to your wind store and ask for a new simcard, I had the exact same problem before. They told me its due to some limitation to their old simcard. Once they give you a new simcard the problem will be solved, and just as they promised, i can now recieve signal again. In fact, my problem was way more serious lol. I couldnt even recieve signal, AT ALL. No matter where I went it is always a cross on the signal icon. And now everything is working perfectly again.
So yeah just go to the wind store, tell them your problem, and they shall give you a new simcard right away.
NO CHANGE
I have changed the SIM, still the same problem, i think something with SMS hidden options...Any kind of help...i have tried all the costumed ROMs...No way
Hello everyone I have done extensive searches and found a few post about this but no real solutions except one person replaced their phone under warranty. The problem I have is I can't recive MMS SMS on any ICS rom have tried them all and all the versions. I have also tried the nullifier befor flash and fixing permissions various ways diffrent kernals diffrent gaps no luck. I have no problems with reciving MMS and SMS on anyother roms just ics any advice or input would be greatly appriciated

Which baseband are you using? If you're not using the July baseband, I'd suggest upgrading to it. Just search for July baseband and you should find instructions. If you're already on that baseband, try updating your RIL with the GetRIL app from the play store. If none of that works, try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery, then fixing permissions.
I have the new baseband and have tried numerous wipes and fixing permissions and also the getril from market. Has anyone one fixed this with a new sim card I have read if you can find an old style card things work better in the g2x?
Are you using WIFI at the time or mobile data? I have issue with MMS using wifi. Everyhting works as expected when using mobile data.
I can receive messages with wifi calling on and that is the only time I can get them on wifi or mobile data nothing
Hey I'm having this same problem. Has anyone else been able to solve this? From what I've seen, it seems that the OP and I are the only ones with this problem
I tried tons of other things and never got it to work correctly I ended up exchanging phone under warranty for 5 bucks and with the new unit had none of the problems that I was having with the old one so in my opinion it is a hardware issue that you can not fix with out changing out phone I ran across a few others that ended up changing out phone. The only thing I can recommend is somewhere I saw a thread where some people had flashed a experimental rom and lost the ability to text and they had to use some kind of at commands to the modem to get it back in the right mode you should be able to find it if you search the fourm

I was able to find this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19794570&postcount=9
but I'm a little confused because he says that he "saved" the settings or something after he clicked refresh, but I don't see any option to save. any time i leave that menu and go back to it, the numbers are gone again.
it has been my experience that even with completely stock, unrooted builds, MMS picture messaging does not work with wifi. even in jacksonville, fl and new orleans, la (both 4g markets), that while on wifi, if you receive a picture message and attempt to download it, the phone will connect to the 4g mobile data service to download it. it happened on both my g2 and my g2x. i want to say that with wifi calling turned on you can download picture messages, but im not entirely sure.
Hi
I picked up a t959w off craigslist. The guys said he couldn't connect to wifi or anything, but I guessed he just screwed something up. However, after flashing AOKP or CM9 I can't get any data, wifi etc..
Is there any way of diagnosing this?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

First goto, setting, about phone, what does it says for baseband? Sometimes too network drivers don't flash fully, trying flashing something like Hefe's 0.81 kernel and flash it twice if needed.
Baseband is T959WUQLB6. I'll try hefe.
Ok. There is some command to get logs of the wifi and what its trying to do, but I can't recall them off hand, but if reflashing a new kernel, then reflashing again doesn't do it, might be hardware somehow. You did get the phone with capacative buttons DOA, so who knows what this person did to the poor phone. lol. I assume calling/messaging works with the modem flashed.
So it's been a while since sToRms DRM fix has been available; has anybody managed to figure out if we can get the FM radio back yet?
I remember reading somewhere that it is likely to only be something in the software that makes it incompatible.
It is an absolute necessity for me to have radio that doesn't use mobile data as I don't need and won't pay for unlimited data. Besides that, mobile data radio apps have always been really inconsistent for me, cutting out when mobile data has 1 bar and cutting out for random ads. Mobile data radio apps are atrocious to be honest.
If somebody can find a fix for this or point me in the right direction to try to fix it myself, I'm sure a lot of users will really benefit from it and appreciate it.
Someone would have to write a driver for the chipset or port one from some other phone.
Unlikely to happen.
You could try using some DAB stick attached trough USB and use SDR software with it. This would also give superior quality.
