I'm sorry if this has been asked before, or if it's been resolved, but I have tried all the radios that are supposed to work with WIND Mobile, only to have completely garbled signal, I can hear others perfectly but they hear a robot/garbled noise. Here are my exact phone specs
Non rooted as of right now, no custom recovery right now either.
Rogers phone, factory unlocked.
Model Number SGH-I727R

So if someone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it.
How's your signal? Does the same thing happen with different phones? Trying to eliminate a few trees before you go digging around an entire forest.

Signal is always 3-5 Bars and connecting to 3G, and I haven't tried a different phone because I only have my SII and that's the phone I want on Wind, tons of people on here have reported their SII running flawlessly on the wind network, I just need someone to show me the best radio to use.
try the ics stock and see if its better, howto in my sig

This. There are a handful of Rogers radios out there, all linked from the superb stickies in vincom's signature.

I need this radio to pick up WIND Mobile though.
Seems like a hardware issue , if you say many with SR on wind around you report good connectivity (if you're completely stock , to eleminate custom roms problems) , other radios will not be magical solution ...

flash each radio yourself and test it out. you could test all the radios in about 30-45 min, rather than waiting for someone to tell you that a radio works good for them.
head to the sticky that vincom suggested and give each a radio a shot.

fyi
The modem keeps disappearing and I have to reflash it to get a signal again.
The phone will just lose the signal and rebooting etc, does not help it get back. You have to reflash the modem file again. This is very strange. I have never read any posts about this issue either.
carrier- Wind Mobile Canada - AWS network like T-Mobile.
It's Slim Rom 4.1.2 on a Skyrocket.
Modem is Blaze 4G LB7 (T-Mobile)

Everything works great but this issue turned up about 2 days after flashing. I wiped and formatted everything before I flashed the ROM.

I've been having network issues for the past 4 days (ever since I updated to 2.3.6) and have been scouring XDA and the internet trying to fix it...
Tried flashing stock roms, cyanogen roms, backtracking to 2.3.3, updating roms, flashing different radios, stock radios, nothings working.
I'm on the FIDO network with an unlocked nexus s
I even bought a new sim card today to see if it could fix it, and it was only "fixed" for a bit, because the reception was **** (0-1 bars) and i was on EDGE all the time.
I reflashed some radios and now I don't get network at all.
If anyone has any idea of how I could fix this, it'd be nice. As of right now I still can't seem to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056062 so I assume something about my phone still isn't stock...
2.3.6 is ruining my life. =[

There is advice on restoring your data connection in the radio thread in the dev section.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
I was assuming you meant this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I had already been on there and I've tried all the radios on the first few pages multiple times and none of them were working for me.
But since you posted your reply, I decided to try scouring the entire thread and I happened on a few random radios that other users posted.
I found one that actually worked!! and I got my signal back. THANKS.
Here is the one I used if anyone else is having the same problem as me.

Cool, glad you got it working!

hy i have same problem on my samsung galaxy s i9000 with android 2.3.6
can someone help me solve that? ty
Hi,
I have had the LG Optimus P999 for almost a year, and I haven't bothered to update it yet(2.2.2). I got it from WindMobile, and I was wondering if by following this vid I could update it to 2.3.3 successively. I want to install a custom ROM, but they all seem to require at least 2.3.3.
Right now it is unlocked and rooted, also I am using a Fido SIM card.
Any thoughts?
Anyone?!
My P999 was also from wind and I did not update the firmwire to 2.3.3. I just installed clockwork mod and flashed in a newer MIUI rom. BTW how are you able to use a Fido Sim card on a wind mobile version of the Lg optimus 2x

Well to my understanding(which is limited) FIDO uses GMS on frequency 850MHz and 1900MHz, which this phone supports. But I hear that to get 3G on this phone I need to be on WindMobile or T-Mobile. I have data with FIDO and it shows at 2G (with two little arrows going up and down). Besides that I find it stupid the the LG Optimus 2X in Canada it is actually a LG Optimus G2X in the states (from what I have gathered).Anyways, how did you do the whole proccess of installing a new ROM, did you follow something similar to this ?
Idk if this would help, but here you go.

Are you just looking to install Gingerbread or do you also want to update the baseband? If you don't understand the second part of the question don't worry about it. In that case you just need to install clockwork mod recovery using NVflash and then install pretty much any ROM you want.
If you want to update the baseband you need to use the offline method. Search for it.

When I got my P999 from wind with stock Froyo, I rooted and CWM'd it within 5 minutes of getting it. Use the Nvflash guides to install CWM.. All should be fine.

I want to get FM radio on it, also can I get 3G on a FIDO network with this phone? How does the base band affect these two things?
Thanks!!

FM Radio is disabled Via Hardware on the P999. The P990 Has FM Radio but we don't. If you need FM, Use TuneIn radio, but you will need to have an internet connection. Since FIDO isn't Wind or Moblilicty etc, and our phone isn't a Pentaband phone, I don't think that you will be able to get 3G With the different radio that Rogers/Telus/Fido uses. Calls, Text, and 2G data will work fine, just not 3G.
Hey everyone, ive searched and searched, but havent found a solution yet !!
Im running: build5-ASOP
Kernel: 3.0.34-EGB_P999-5
build #: Imm76D
My wifi calling icon is there as its supposed to be, and when I click to enable all it does it say enabling, but never initates?
all my other tmobile phones work great on wifi calling, but I just bought this one already rooted, thought it may have been a programmers
error, so I re rooted the same build back onto the phone, still doing the same thing, any help would be greatly appreciated....

Have you looked at the date and time? cause sometimes that could change things
I had the same issue with my phone but I just reset it and it was ok.

im having a few problems. the first is finding a good rom that will improve my battery life. the other is getting gas buddy to work on the custom rom. i currently use cm10, cant remember other details than that. also editing apn is necessary since im with straight talks att. my last problem is im not able to access 3g, which is supported by my phone and straight talk. im stuck on the edge mobile data.

I'm betting baseband is an issue here. The P509 is an old baseband device. The P509 never got an official update from Froyo to GingerBread which would have then made the P509 a new baseband device. But, it's possible also that the APN isn't correctly setup. I can't say since I'm with Simple Mobile on my P509. The P500, which was originally an AT&T device did. The P509 was originally for TMobile. Slightly different operating frequencies possibly. I'm no expert, just my two cents in an attempt to help.

That's because you installed a P500 ROM, not because you upgraded baseband. "Phone Model" information is read from system/build.prop.
For best battery performance, GB is it. ICS isn't too bad, but worse than GB. JB is even worse than ICS in most cases. As for manually editing your APN's, I have to also, everytime I flash a ROM since I'm with Simple Mobile. I don't know what Gas Buddy is, so I can't help there.
As for your 3G problem, unless your ROM has been setup/instructed to use 2G only, I dunno what to say.
Ok, so I tested a few roms and found out the hard way.
This is WHAT WORKS.
ROM- Slimbean 4.2.2 (The Official 8 build is what I used at the time build 6 did not work for me the first time)[Build 8][August 6 2013]
Use the ROM in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158157
modem - Blaze4G UVMB1
third down from the top
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
kernel- using the one with the ROM
The other Blaze4g modem works BUT it drops the signal and shows up as UNKNOWN in baseband. The only way to get the signal back is to reflash the modem file from recovery.
Follow the directions for the ROM
USE TWRP and wipe and format your system 2-3 times to be safe.
The battery life is very good and the signal is always 3-4 bars (full signal) and it does connect at H+ LTE speeds.
* the problem is current modems/radios are not compatible with all 4.2.2 ROMS. Most modems are meant for 4.1.2 ROMS.
Old and repeated info
Sorry to burst your bubble but any TW rom or CM (4.1.2) for Skyrocket will work , kernel too
The radio is the essential point...And everybody in need for AWS bands to get HSPA reception is told to use UVMB1....lol
Your other Blaze radio didn't work simply because it's not a JB-compatible radio....
It might not work for everybody equally since network connectivity is affected by many variables , tower congestion , equipment , interference , load on network and many more ....
ANY rom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 will work, it was the radio that u needed. Happy to hear you got it sorted and are running well

I don't think that is accurate.
The kernel can also be a factor.
From what I found and tested some ROMS/kernels/modems work much better than others.
From my findings this setup works really good, always a high signal and very good battery life.
