March 2012 baseband.

I'd like to know what differences those of you who have used the update tool are experiencing with the new baseband. Signal strength? GPS? Battery life? I'm using the one from July 2011, but I don't know what the differences (if there are any) between the two. Also, does the new bb need a different ril as well? I, think I saw something about v21y? Any help would be appreciated

Don't know the difference, but attached is the ril file you need for the new baseband. I've also sent an email to the developer of getril so he'll update it soon, I hope. Just extract it to /system/lib.

Sweet, thanks. I guess I'll flash the baseband and use this ril and report my findings.

I just installed the updated LG rom with the new baseband and android 2.3.4 today and it seems to have better signal. As for GPS I'm not sure because I never had a problem with it before. And I can't say anything about battery life yet as I just installed it around noon.

Just read that some people are having problems making calls on anything but stock roms after updating baseband. Anyone else got that issue?

I updated to the new stock v21y,
so far iv noticed the obviously new bb,
the key bored seems different, and the touch screen seems more responsive and snappier, if that makes any sence...
but i have also noticed that the colors seem brighter and more crisp.. can anyone els confirm that or is it just me?

Yeah, I heard the keyboard got updated. I think the kernel is the same, so I don't know about the touch responsiveness. Could you do me a favor and flash a custom rom (anything other than stock), use the ril posted above, and let me know if you can make/receive calls?

Already read just about every thread dealing with v21y...
And several people have already stated that pretty much no custom roms are currently able to make calls with the new BB ... so no need to try
Just going to wait for the devs to assimilate the new bb into the Roms....
Shouldn't take them more then a couple days... at most.

To those with the new baseband and with custom ROMs, have you tried to update your RIL using getRIL? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Does not show the RIL for V21y,

hey look up at the begining of this thread someone posted a link to the new ril with instructions.
It is in the second post

So far, here are my impressions regarding v21y:
* Battery life: I have been off charger for 10 hours now, and battery has only just slipped down to 80%
* Signal: Any residual signal issues that were not fixed with v21e and T-Mobile's repurposing have been fixed on my end.
* Swype: The built-in Swype keyboard has been updated with a new interface that takes a bit to get used to.
* Browser: Open Window limit reduced to 4 (from 8 in v21e)
* General speed: It does seem a bit faster and more responsive than before. A quick check with Quadrant on my phone gave me a score of 2147
Other than that, it's not much different than v21e.

I see, I see. Well it seems there are some benefits but, for me, they don't outweigh the fact that I wouldn't be able to use any other roms for now. I'll hold off on the new bb until our devs find a way to work with it.

I sent the author of getril an email a few days ago and he updated his database to include the v21y ril, as long as you have the appropriate baseband

Does this baseband update apply to WIND G2X users as well? Or do we have to push it in our phones the hard way?

Same handset so should work fine, however LG has already pulled it from the official update tool.
At this point the only option is to use the offline KDZ flash method.
Edit:
Please follow this thread and look for Core Memory's detailed instructions regarding the KDZ method:

But if LG pulled the update, doesn't that mean there must have been something wrong with it? So why would anyone want to try and install the pulled update?

I thought custom ROMs dont change basebands, at least that's been my experience with them so far.

[Q] HTC Sensation turns wifi and mobile network on by itself

Sometimes when I look at my phone I will see the icon for data usage at the top of the screen. The wifi has been turned on and the mobile network is using up my credit?
This either has something to so with app synching(but I have auto-sync turned off) or some other sneaky setting.
As of right now I have checked the "restrict background data" box so I will see if that solves the problem.
This usually happens after being connected to my laptop wifi but not only then. Has anyone had this problem or found a solution?

Which ROM and firmware are you on bro? This was an issue with ROM's based on old firmwares.The latest InsertCoin, ARHD and Elegancia ROM's don't have this issue.

My XE does this too, I'm on the standard OTA ICS update. I was wondering if it was something to do with using Juicedefender, do you use it?

If you are on stock ICS, then this problem should be solved with the update after upgrading. It's a setting update, about 15mb. I had the same problem after updating to ICS too. I think somebody posted about it earlier.

First u need to root your phone .. Here is the perfect tutorial for you.
Then Just replaced the stock Sense3.6 files with the ones from Sense 4 using Root Explorer.
The attached the files are from Sense 4 rom.
I dont remember from which post i got to know this. But credit goes to the certain developer.
P.S: Backup ur Rom before doing anything. Noone ll be reponsible if anything happens.
All de best

Sorry I useless with tech words. The software info say Android 4.0.3, HTC sense 3.6, Software number 3.32.401.5
And for clarity, I don't use any apps really I just use the base ones that came with the phone.
Thanks for the posts. I turned background data on again because the messaging app was and still is giving me trouble where it stays on "loading..." for one contact. Haven't had the original issue occur since I posted but I also haven't used it on my laptop hotspot.

Are you using a stock rom now..??

I've noticed my phone do this as well (see ROM I'm using in the signature), but only after midnight, like it's got some kind of sleep mode so you wouldn't be bothered by notifications in the middle of the night.
I started noticing this when I first tried OrDroid and it stayed that way when I went back to ARHD. Don't think I've seen the phone do that before using OrDroid for the first time (but maybe it did and I just didn't notice it)

[Q] (MIUI) Installing ME will solve battery problem?

Hi, i recenty install MIUI in my MB865 Atrix. But, the battery drain way too much.
So, i was wondering. If i install the ME865 firm, and then, install miui, the battery will last much longer?
PS: The ME865 firm don't have Play Store. Can i install it?

I dont think you can install ME865 firmware on MB865 (i never tried because i'm on ATT hardware).
and whichever successful MIUI has released is for ME865 only .... installing it on MB865 will cause battery drain for sure
trying doesn't hurt .... unless you brick

I'm on miui v5 on me865. There is no battery drain in general. It does drain the battery fairly quickly when compared to stock jb even working out the small things to keep data usage as less as possible. Well you can install play store. gmail app and youtube apps are missing by the way

my bad. im a year back! back to the future part z

[Q] Help/advice if it is possible. Thanks

Hello. I had my i9003 rooted since 9 months ago and it works perfectly.
Like 3 weeks ago I updated the firmware trough the phone updating tool and the problems started:
-Battery started to last only 3 hours.
So I tried to find a kernel and a rom to solve it.
I installed thefrankestain mod and the bam kernel and it started to turn off suddenly all the time. I freaked out and I try to find "the most stable rom" in forums... finally I found a gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware with recovery and I use it
I have this data:
firmware version
2.36
base
I9003XXLE4
kernel
2.6.35.7-CL1143078 [email protected] 156 #1
compilation number
GINGERBREAD.XWLF2
I calibrated the battery and all that stuff and the phone keeps turning off when I use an app more than 5 minutes!! I hate that.
I don't even know how that data mean (my phone data), I know I am a noob and a loser as I have just watch in the xda video but I will be glad if someone give some thoughts of what is happening to my phone, if it is any solution and
if anyone recomend me any kernel/rom combination that avoid my problem. (links will be helpful as well)

Maybe it's your battery that has gone bad. Is you battery swollen? Can you put it on a flat surface and see if you can rotate is easily?

well, id have to say that the latest radio from the latest preview is the best(of all) radios that ive had on my n5. its data signal is by far the most solid, and no telephone issues.
