Have you tried maybe an EQ like DSPManager? I don't think a radio flash is going to fix that problem for you.

Go ahead and flash the Aussie rom. In call volume is perfect for me.

well i unlocked bootloader and flashed retail australian rom but still low in call volume then i flashed retail german but still i am not satisfied call quality is good on motorola but i have to stick phone to my ear to hear well.i also tried to edit buildprop and change volume level from 7 to 15 but that seems to make no difference.is there any thing left which i should try?should i try ice ics instead of jb

please suggest a suitable modem with high in call volume for 2G , 2.5G networks.

[Q] Not Getting Network on a Particular SIM

This is by far the strangest problem I'm facing with my Nexus S
I've two SIM cards from two different networks. one is GSM 900 and anothe is GSM 1800
Both the SIMs are perfectly ok and functioning very well in my Nokia X2.
But one of the SIMs (GSM 900) is not getting any network in my Nexus S.
Interestingly I've been using this very SIM (GSM 900) in my nexus for last one month.
Just to give a background, I'm facing this problem when I flashed the latest 2.3.7 stock ROM.
I tried flashing other ROMs aswell...Currenyly I'm on MIUI...but no Luck ! And Yes, the Other SIM is working absolutely fine with my Nexus and fine with both the ROMS !
Please Help !
If I'm not mistaken I believe 2.3.7 is an update for nexus s 4g models only and not GSM. That is a very good chance as to why your network doesn't work.

But it was Getting network. And My other SIM is getting network in that OS.
BTW, I've flashed a different ROM (MIUI)....No luck with the new ROM...
frequency base band problems perhaps ?
Yes, its Reading 1800 SIMs but not 900 SIMS.
all what you said so far indicates that the problem was caused by the new binary.
it seems the hardware is working fine.
what is the software version of your phone?
download an official version of Nexus S and you'll be fine.
tell me what you see in the "about phone"
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9020XXKD1
Currently I'm in MIUI. Searching for the official version of 2.3.4

2.3.7 is for the cdma nexus s 4g not a GSM model. Try reflashing the correct radios for your phone.

Getting network with a GSM 1800 sim. Not with GSM 900 SIM (Unfortunately this is my official number)
Can anyone suggest the exact stock ROM for my sns. I tried to search here in XDA, but not finding the exact one.
the sticker in back says my SNS model is GT-I9020
Some files may stuck in /system partition when you flash something, and good idea is to format /system from CWM recovery (you can find it under mounts and storage section) and flash rooted flash rom from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
It's always a bad thing to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Formating /system before you flash stock rom. Hope that could fix your problem too, but I'm not sure . Just a suggestion ...

I've flashed this from Google
http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip
Now my about phone looks like this :
Androd Version : 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Build No. GRk39C
Yet, its not getting network.
Should I take it that I've lost my Nexus.
Thanks for you reply Tenhi.
I tried formating Everything ! and also Flashed the Stcok ROM (NSGSM-GRJ22-deodexed-KD1-rooted)
But no Luck.
Interestingly, today I found that the set is getting network in Some places, mostly where the network strength is very strong. And functioning very well with GSM 1900 carriers. But facing the problem with GSM 900 carriers only.
Isn't there anyway to get back to Factory Settings or something like this...?
Don't know what else to say. Apparently the NS4G 2.3.7 ROM changed something permanently, and you can't reverse it with flashing another ROM/Radio/Kernel. Unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions . Hope you will find a way to fix it ...

I had one Stock ROM backup (2.3.3). I flashed it today. Which updated the Radio to KB3 also.
But the problem persisted. Then I took the offcial update to 2.3.4 using the push update.
Yet the problem is not fixed. Not getting any clue on what happened !
I've tried two different operators who run GSM 900 and its not getting network with them.
But There is no problem with GSM 1800 operators. Its running smoothly with GSM 1800 SIM.
Alhamdulillah, the problem has been solved.
A OTA update to 2.3.6 has solved the problem for me.
First I flashed 2.3.3, just after flashing it prompted for a update to 2.3.4 and a day after it prompted for a update to 2.3.6.
Which eventually solved the problem
Thanks for your help guys.

[Q] Best radio version for using oversea ?

Hi,
I am using AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket in Viet Nam, not in USA, because i like the way this Skyrocket phone design so i ask some of my friend bought one for me from US. But i got som problem with this phone when using in my 3G network carrier Mobifone , 3G data connection sometime lost and sometime good . So anyone have exprience with this kind of thing ? What radio version i should use between :
Original Shipped AT&T Skyrocket Radio I727ATTKJ2 and RIL
Original Shipped Rogers I727RUXKJ7 Radio and RIL
AT&T 2.3.6 OTA Update Radio I727ATTKK1 and RIL

But I've one question.
Does your Skyrocket gps fix time is fast in your vietnam country?
Normally gps lock time is about 5~10 sec.
because, I will purchase skyrocket, but some of phones are using agps surver using
their own country.(for example, T-mobile G2x using T-mobile a-gps server,
So it will cause gps fix laggy)

GPS fix super fast here. If the weather good it make take just a few second. I am trying flash T989 rom to see if anything better.

I think overseas users make a thread.
Isn't it? hehe
I am very very wodner that compatibility to
AT&T ROM(727) , Rogers ROM(727R), T-mobile ROM(989) all models?
For example, I will use to Odin.
* If I have a i727 ATT Device,
1) flash to i727R ? not bricked?
2) flash to i989 ? not bricked?
If I get a i727 ATT device, I will flash i727 Rogers ROM.
Because AT&T have many pre-load apks. And too many customizing.

Solution for AT&T HTC ONE X Signal Dropping Issue / cellular network problem / data

Solution for AT&T HTC ONE X Signal Dropping Issue / cellular network problem / data
Solution for AT&T HTC ONE X Signal Dropping Issue / cellular network problem / data
Hi guys am new to this forum and English is not my native language .
I dont know whether this is a proper section to post this kind of thread .
If this is in wrong section I request MODS to shift it to appropriate section .
This worked only for my AT&T HTC ONE X version , and its 100% confirmed .
I was searching for this solution from almost 3 weeks on XDA , and found that am not the only one . Many were having this problem .
Just update it to latest available firmware 4.0.4 which got released on 2-AUG-2012 .
My both cellphones which were unlocked and was on other networks . Was giving frequent signal drops , fluctuation , going complete DEAD
I flashed many radios and even the latest radio which was in 4.0.4 didnt work .
So I came into conclusion that flashing radio wont solve this problem , its only myth .
For updating/restoring it to latest 4.0.4 , Your phone bootloader should be locked . No problem if its rooted .
===========================================
1) Online update through phone itself
goto settings > AT&T software update > Check for updates
and follow the easy instructions .
===========================================
2) Manual update through computer
Make sure u have downloaded the HTC SYNC MANAGER and required HTC Drivers
http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
The below file size is 568MB , and its a executable .exe file .
After downloading open the file and follow the instructions . 30-35% battery is necessary to flash the ROM
Firmware official link:
LINK 1 : http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe
LINK 2 : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/software-updates
===========================================
Now my both phones are working properly
===========================================
Am not responsible if anything happens during this process with your phone .
===========================================
I'm gonna try. Getting no LTE signal at home so total useless 4G LTE... I only get HSPA+

Agreed basically the OP is telling us to go back to stock OEM version of the OS.
2nd why are you posting this in the dev board?
It would be better to be in the Q&A section.
I haven't seen this as a widespread issue at all and certainly not one that I have experienced.
I can tell you that here in the Phoenix area that I get great reception, fantastic LTE speeds, and I am running the Telstra radio 223 with the stock new rom, unlocked and Boot loader unlocked

Don't forget that if you don't have superCID when you do this, you will lose the ability to root until a root exploit for 2.20 is released.
Even i am having the same problem, i have download the ruu but my doubt is i have super cid111111 on my phone, so will ruu work perfectly or do i have to revert it back to stock cid? If yes then what is the procedure to revert back the stock cid?

Super cid allows you to flash any ruu as long as it is not a lower version ruu and hboot than you currently have. You should be warned that flashing the 2.20 ruu with the updated hboot will break the ability to flash boot.img radios and kernels from recovery. You will have to use fastboot from your pc to flash them.

I have had this problem for probably about 6months now, it's ridiculous. I have tried everything, Factory Reset, flashing stock RUU, everything, wipes, radios and custom ROMs, nothing seemed to work. When I flashed RUU, I think it was ok for a little while, but as time went on, I got more and more signal drops.
When I first read triksense's comment, I thought he had no idea what he was talking about, maybe he just had poor reception. Regardless, I was willing to try anything, so i installed the free version of Network Signal Booster from the Market. It has been 2 days now, and I have not had a single signal drop since running this app. It would be nice to not require a 3rd party app installed to make my phone run smoothly, especially an app that I don't really know what it is doing exactly.
Anyways, to anyone with this issue (are there really not more? Did they just give up and go to Samsung?), I am the second person now that can recommend this app, Network Speed Booster from the Market, to fix the signal drop issues.
Thanks for the suggestion triksense!

Im actually running 4.1.1 with all the mods for GSM and is working, the data speed can't be faster than Edge (E) simple because the Bands are different from LA, the S3 from verizon only have 2100 so we are out f luck for more speed.
But yes even with the stock ROM you can re install everything to make GSM work again.

XT926 WILL NOT WORK ON A GSM NETWORK. It is built with a CDMA radio, that's hardware. You need an xt925, which is built with the GSM radio in order to use a GSM network. There is no software changes that you could make to change a CDMA phone into a GSM one. Sorry.

No. Its a global phone. It in fact has the GSM radios built into it. And others have had success with using it on GSM networks.
For example this thread shows how to make it work with us GSM carriers:

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
This question comes up A LOT. You could do a search in either the RAZR HD forums or the RAZR M forums to find the answer. The phone is a global phone, it has a SIM card and it works on GSM networks outside the US. There's a lot of misinformation floating around with people, like hte poster above, screaming about it being CDMA and not working globally... this is simply not true. I have been to Australia with this thing, it works fine.
The problem that others have found is that because India uses CDMA there's some logic burned into the phone that locks it to Verizon and their partner carrier whilst in India. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround that I have found. Some people have tried things with RadioComm, including the GSM unlock which allows the HD to be used on US GSM carriers (ATT/TMo). I haven't seen anything to indicate that this fix also fixes the phone so it can be used in Inida.
Sorry for the bad news...

Hi. I've successfully being using the razr maxx HD in India . Earlier me to face similar problem as you for not be able to use this phone. However with the OTA ver .16 update, the phone automatically started to work on the Indian sims and since then its no looking back.
Why don't you flash the latest current stock rom update which I think is v.18 .
