what's causing slow network speeds? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running the KitKat+ ROM I found in the development section plus faux kernel, I flashed over jellybean and applied fix v2 so I'm getting no problems uninstalling apps or entering security settings. Thing is when I'm at home or even outside I get really slow network speeds of about 0.4 Mbps down,and in settings-aboutphone-status it switches between hspa and hspa+,but down the road about 350 metres at my kids school I get up to 7 Mbps down,I'm just wondering what version of the moto g is this KitKat+ rom based on,I own the UK retail version and was thinking if its based on a us version would it cause problems with connecting to a UK network or have problems with hspa+ in the UK based on what base this ROM is using,just throwing it out there.

Have you tried setting it to GSM auto (PRL) ?
My previous phone (HTC One X+) was running BlackBean rom and was set to CDMA by default, meant that i had to reset to GSM after every reboot.

I have experienced this also on a UK XT1032 running US Global GSM 4.4.2 - Data works but often slowly and stops entirely for periods of time. I had assumed it was the ROM and I'm waiting for the UK 4.4.2 stock firmware image which I expect will solve it. Perhaps unrelated, but I've noticed Opera Mini will not work over 3G in this ROM, but it works fine on Wifi.
EDIT: I was just thinking; that by fastboot flashing the Stock US firmware image, the UK modem firmware may also have been replaced. That could explain the problems. Flashing back the 4.4.2 UK modem firmware might fix it.
My Baseband version:
MSM8626BP_1032.340.63.00R​
Can someone with a US Global GSM XT1032 confirm their Baseband version? Nevermind, confirmed via google. UK Tesco XT1032 running 4.4.2 also has the same Baseband version.
You could try flashing the UK stock 4.4.2 'NON-HLOS.bin' which appears to include the modem firmware. However if I remember correctly, flashing an incorrect radio firmware is one of the few ways to irrecoverably brick a handset.
Safest bet is to wait for the full UK stock 4.4.2 firmware image and fastboot flash that. In future when you flash a different ROM, i.e CM11, you are likely to use CWM/TWRP and the existing UK modem / radio firmware will remain untouched.
If someone wants to correct me on this, please do.

[Q] Xoom on wrong baseband

I changed the baseband of my Xoom from GSM/UMTS to USA by a mistake.
No Idea how to reset this to european settings.
The mistake happened using the app "Netzwerk" by Phillipp Mangelow.
Since then there is no chance to get an internet connection.
All settings i can directly access are ok.
The above named app has an error and offers only "USA" as selection of baseband.
Has anyone an idea how to reset this or knows an app which modifies this setting?
Xoom without radio is not even a half xoom
Kind regards,
Willy
Try tiamat new rom, there is a possibility to change it back to EURO mode
Hi,
i use a international version of motorola xoom mz601 in india and have updated to android 3.1 and use the latest baseband n_01.83.35p.
after this update the band changed to USA band 800Mhz? i cannot use any network 2G or 3G and the motorola doesn't show any network operators.
i really want to revert back the settings.now how can i downgrade my baseband and what commands i need to execute also i have tried moving to stock 3.0.1 but no change in baseband.
any apk file that would help me change the band?
thank you.
Please help
If you are rooted, and if you have a previous backup done thru recovery before, just go to recovery, advanced restore and restore system only. It should bring back your baseband.

What I did was go back to a stock 3.1 provider firmware. Being in India I used Original rom. I flashed boot, system, data and recovery. At that point the 3g radio still wont work, Let it do the OTA updates to bring it to 3.2.2 and it will start working, I think one of the OTA updates flashes the modem and or bootloader and resets it to the correct band.
I could then go back to a custom rom and it was all good, I make sure I stay away form the band settings in future.

[Q] GPE on XT1034

Hi All,
I accidently ordered Moto G US GSM version (XT1034).
On This fw: "Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US" works only 2G networks (in Europe). This is as expected.
On GPE fw phone cannot search\connect mobile network at all.
On another european fw same bahviour as on US one (only 2G connection as avaliable)
I have tried to flash only modems from various firmwares, but without any effect (nothing changes), So, as I understand - problem in GPE system.img.
Is it possible to run GPE on XT1034 (at least with 2G)?
I think that the 2G issue is hardware-related as the phone may not operate on the proper frequencies for europe.
Concerning your question: Try the MotoTool you find in the Original Android Development section. This might work.
Thanks for answer.
I have tried flahing modem image for my device XT1034 via recovery, but it didn't helped.
(Sorry, but I cannot write messages in appropriate developers threads)

Marshmallow update broke LTE?

I have a US version MM LTE Nvidia Shield tablet. After the recent update I don't have LTE anymore on my tablet. I have tried to go into Cellular network setting and change the network type manually but the option is not there. I have also tried putting the SIM card into another tablet to ensure that it gets LTE and it does. (Samsung Note Pro 12.2). I have also hard reset and even flashed the MM firmware to see if it was a software issue. Still can't get LTE. I have verified that it only connected to the HSDPA network in the Settings > About Tablet > Status > SIM Status > Cellular Network Type.
I have also tried to download various apps to change the Cellular network type none have worked as of yet.
Does anybody else who has this tablet have the same issue?
If so can anybody recommend a good work around or good ROM to flash to alleviate this issue. I honestly rather go back to the previous firmware version to have LTE back.
Update
I flashed back to Lollipop and still have the same issue.
Update 2
I flashed the ROW version and able to select LTE recommended from Cellular network settings but still doesn't get LTE.

Can you be more specific about which update you got? Are you using the US LTE firmware version 4.1? What method did you use to flash the firmware and did you use the full firmware or OTA?

I received the Marshmallow 4.1 update from Nvidia. I am using the US LTE firmware version 4.1. Once I realized I was not getting LTE I then reflashed the device using the guide supplied by Nvidia and from the user guide posted on this link.

I was thinking of flashing the ROW LTE stock firmware on this device but I don't want to brick it.

Xt1250 on latest Verizon 6.0.1 update

I was curious if others who have a Motorola Maxx 1250 were having problems with the latest official Verizon 6.0.1 update installing and connecting to cellular network and WiFi. I have the 1250 on Verizon network, and used to use @computerfreek274, 5.1 rom to successfully use Volte but with both cf's newest 6.0.1 rom and the twrp flashable official rom by @TheSt33v, I am unable to connect to either WiFi or cell network.
I am, however able to use @iiWoodstocK Brazil version, which functions properly although no VoLte. I also run into no problems with the CM version of 6 and 7 roms.

If your flashing my new mm ROM. If it is all booting up and you updated radios. Reflash boot.img out of my radio/bl pack. I believe it is just the boot.img / kernel not updated. Drop me a PM I will try and help you more later tonight.

If anyone else is having issues getting Verizon VoLte on xt1250 / marshmallow, see this post in CF's forum. It's what worked for me.

930F modem for 930S

I bought 2nd SK Telecom unit (930S), which has same SoC as 930F. Is it possible to flash 930F modem to 930S? I get this issues regarding mobile network in LTE doesn't work well, I have to lock it to WCDMA in order to make network run again. I suspect this as modem issues, but is it? Or is this OS problem? Tried 3 carriers, problem persists.
While they are the same SoC, there are some differences that will make flashing G930F over G930S result in bootlooping.
I assume you're not in South Korea?
The firmware will be configuring for Korean carrier / networks. Your best bet would be flashing TWRP, then using this to change your device to your carriers CSC https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957

It could be the stock ROM on there (with sk apps). When I bought mine I immediately flashed TWRP, NAND backup and flashed a custom TW ROM and had zero network issues. I never bothered seeing if the stock ROM was worth using. I'm using BlackPearl with zero problems with network or otherwise on AT&T.
I should clarify many custom ROM's work on goth 930F and 930S, but stock 930F images will bootloop a 930S.
hello, im using g930s too with g930s stock bootloader and baseband/modem. but with hyper alvi 4.1 rom. still got problem in 4G mobile network signal. should i try to change csc or modem file? i think the csc was from wrong country, could that be the culprit? thanks guys
