Goophone X1, 3G connection

Hello,
I recently bought a Goophone X1 from Android-Sale.
I've got a problem with 3G connection. According to specifications, it should be compatible with WCDMA frequencies.
But when I put my sim card to slot 1, I can only choose TD-SCDMA mode. When putting it to slot 2, I can choose WCDMA but there's still no 3G (I think slot 2 is only 2G).
When going to engineer menu, I see that WCDMA frequencies are checked for SIM1 when 3G is enabled on SIM2, which is really useless. When 3G is enabled on SIM1, it changes to TD-SCDMA.
I don't know how to enable 3G on this phone. It seems to be a limitation of the ROM (or baseband ?).
Have you got any idea ?
Thank you.

I want to know too

I picked up a GooPhone X1 too, but it doesn't even recognize either SIM card slot. Email support claimed that their phones are incompatible with T-Mobile SIM cards, but I think what he meant was that only pentaband phones can access the 1700 MHz frequency that T-Mobile uses to transmit 3G and 4G data. Otherwise you are limited to 2G data.
And unfortunately, it looks like my phone is just broken.

same here.
Very odd , isnt it!
Its a new phone and I suspect we will be waiting a while until a rom with the proper activation of non chinese radio bands appears.
The hardware is obviously capable.
If someone has a stand alone MTK 6589 radio for another similar phone, it might be worth trying to flash the radio alone

You can try engineering mode either via mobile uncle mtk tool from google play store
or you can access it by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
There are a lot of options to thinker with the GSM modem .

I have a x1.. I cant remember my password so cant acess anything!! Please help.. its ok if hard reset but I want the phone working!!! It refuses to go into cwm if I press the vol+ & power button! Please post adb drivers to use fladhtool

Hi all, did anyone successfully enable (switch) the WCDMA frequency on a TD-SCDMA phone through hahomir4ev's method???
Any suggestion would be helpful!!!

[Q] Dual WCDMA

Hello,
I am looking for a phone that supports dual WCDMA. Currently my "HTC Desire 600 dual sim" provides WCDMA only on SIM1.
The SIM2 is simply GSM.
I wish a phone where also the SIM2 offers WCDMA.
Background:
due to frequent traveling in 2 countries I am using SIM1 or SIM2 respectively.
On Country1 I have Internet using SIM1, but when residing in Country2 I need to turn ON Data-roaming (of SIM1) , or interchange SIM2 into SIM1's port (WCDMA) so that SIM2 will have Access to Internet.
This is really annoying.
Any Ideas?
Thx
PS: Sorry for duplicates, I opened this thread allthough I searched and found another similar question in this Forum, dated from last year.
That question was however not answered.

i don´t no if are any phone with 2 WCDMA

lg phones have the option for wcdma on both sim settings.. you can select any one sim as 3g but other sim has to be on 2g (without removing sims out of slots).. i have used e445/e715.. do check on specific model but most probably lg must be having that on all models..

That's a good hint with LG. Manually switching forth and back to WCDMA, but without need to interchange the sims, is something I can live with.

Help! Doogee X5 Pro modem cycles whenever accessed in LTE or 3G mode

I would love someone to help with this strange problem, before I throw this phone in the bin!
First the specs.
Doogee x5Pro, Android 5.1,
Baseband DOOGEE-X5pro.2015/10/08
Kernel version [email protected].2015.10.08
Build number DOOGEE X5pro-Android5.1-R08-2015.10.26
The phone works fine when I set Cellular Settings / Preferred network type to 2G. Of course it only works as a 2G phone in this mode.
However, if I set the Preferred network type to either 3G or 4G (recommended) then as soon as I try to make a call or send an SMS, the modem radio turns off and the call is immediately dropped or Messaging says the SMS service is unavailable. Occasionally the called phone will ring, but the call drops immediately. Sometimes the SMS does get through, but at my end it appears that the modem radio turns off and on again as soon as the Dialler or Messaging tries to use it. If someone tries to call me, the phone rings and caller-ID is displayed, but as soon as I answer, the modem radio cycles off and on again, and the call gets dropped.
If I am in an 4G LTE coverage area, then 4G data works fine (browsing was fast, Speedtest was showing 85+Mbps) but I still cannot make or receive calls, or send SMS's - as soon as I try, the modem radio cycles off and then on. If I am not in an LTE coverage area (but am in a 3G WCDMA coverage area), then the phone just constantly cycles showing 4G for an instant then 3G, then radio off, then radio on but no service, then 4G etc... - this cycle is very regular and takes about 53 seconds end-to-end. If wi-fi is on, this cycle only starts if the modem is accessed (e.g. by trying to make a call), or by turning wifi off and cellular data on. And of course I can't make or receive calls or send SMS's during this cycle, and even when the signal shows 3G I can't get any data connectivity. While it's doing this, if I go to Settings / SIM cards, the 'On/Off' slider moves to 'Off' when the radio cycles off, and then moves back to 'On' again.
In summary; in 3G or 4G preferred network mode and not in LTE coverage, whenever anything (calls, SMS or data) tries to use the modem it cycles off and on again. When in LTE coverage, data works but calls and SMS cause the modem to cycle. As I mentioned, 2G is fine.
I think I've tried most of the obvious things, and some not-so-obvious ones. These are the things I've tried so far.
Obvious things like reboot, battery out, reset to factory settings, wipe cache, clear application data. No change.
I swapped the SIM from Slot 1 (LTE/WCDMA) to Slot 2 (GSM) - the behaviour was exactly the same (this surprised me as it seemed to be LTE-related).
I put my SIM in a carrier's (Vodafone NZ) Samsung 4G phone and it worked fine, also it was fine in a Chinese-brand 3G phone. Then I put another Vodafone NZ 4G SIM in my phone and it had exactly the same problems, so I think it's the phone rather than the SIM or the carrier.
Because data works fine when in LTE coverage, and the phone does ring if called (but cycles the modem immediately when I answer the call), it seems the hardware is possibly working OK. So I assumed software or settings might be the cause.
I created new APN's using carrier-supplied settings. No change. I flashed various Doogee stock ROM versions (don't think there are any custom ones for this phone) and they all display the same problem, rooted or otherwise. I've used the engineering menus (*#*#3646633#*#* and *#*#4636#*#*) to change bands, network preferences and various other settings with no effect. 2G (GSM only) is the only one that works. I installed the Xposed Framework and Gravitybox module and had a play with some of the settings in there but again, no effect.
I don't know what else to try and I can't return the phone as it costs too much to send it back to China from New Zealand.
So any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I'm stuck with a not particularly useful 2G wi-fi phone.
Thanks in advance.

Just a bit of an update. I've discovered that 4G LTE works fine when in range and 2G works fine all of the time; but 3G just doesn't work at all and I have no idea why - I've searched the threads and tried all of the suggestions I could find that can be applied to this phone. As soon as anything tries to access the 3G radio (calls, SMS or data), the modem just 'reboots' (powers off and on again).
All of the other symptoms I've described are related to this. When out of (or in marginal) 4G coverage, it starts in 4G, falls back to 3G and that's when the modem 'reboots'. When in 4G range, data works fine but as soon as I make or recieve a call it needs to drop from 4G to 3G (I don't think we have VoLTE here) and that's when the modem 'reboots'.
So any ideas anyone? Is this likely to be a hardware problem with the phone?
Thanks.
(BTW the baseband appears to be MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V8.P33,2015/10/26 16:01)

Good to see another Kiwi with a Doogee X5 PRO. I have not seen these issues in Auckland but a few weeks ago I upgraded to R17 using this ROM :
www.needrom.com/download/doogee-x5-pro/
I noticed 3G and 4G are much improved and I could get both in either slot 1 or 2 (I use dual Voda SIMS).
Last week I went Android6 (32-bit) using this ROM:
www.needrom.com/download/android-6-0/
Using this ROM I can only get 3G and 4G in slot 1 and 2 is "locked" to 2G .. so I guess its software based. If your comfortable with flashing your device then do the R17 upgrade or see if its available OTA

Hi, thanks for the tip - I've already tried the various ROMs on NEEDROM and currently have Android 6 installed, unfortunately the modem still exhibits exactly the same behaviour. But good to hear that yours works OK in NZ because that reinforces by belief that it must be a hardware issue (rather than a network one). Unfortunately this means the phone's only really any use as a WiFi 'phablet' or a 2G phone. So I've given up on it and bought a cheapo Voda Smart Prime instead, which does the basics OK - shame really as I've had Doogee's before and they've been really good. Oh well

I have just gotten an X5 Max Pro. I've noticed that I only have 3G service from my carrier in my area and for that reason I cannot receive calls if I set the favourite network type to 4G(recommended). I have to set the preferred network type to 3G in order to be able to receive calls, otherwise you will receive the "the phone you are calling is off or out of signal" notification, at the same time that I receive a text message from my carrier notifying the lost call.
To me it seems that the phone is not capable of downgrading the signal automatically to 3G when there is no 4G signal. However, I can make calls and receive text messages with no problems at all.
When I have 4G coverage, everything works just fine with the preferred network type set to 4G(recommended).
Is this a software or a hardware problem? I really don't know if it is related to the problems already described here with the x5 pro, but I have decided to post my experience. Maybe it will give some more hints about what is wrong with many Doogee x5 devices.
Thanks

Possible explanation & solution
Hi,
I may have an explanation and solution.
I have Doogee X5 Max Pro and I ran into similar problems. Doogee international did not respond to me, but their agent in Israel did.
Apparently in each cellular provider uses two frequencies: 2000 for outdoors, and 850 *or* 900 for indoors. High end phones support both 850 and 900 (along with the 2000). This model only supports 900 (and 2000), which means that you'd if your provider uses 850, you'd have a good reception outdoors, but a lousy one / none indoors (along with a higher battery consumption etc.).
The solution was to switch to a different provider that uses 900 frequency, and that indeed solved the problem (in Israel I switched to Partner - used to be a part of the Orange network) .
I hope that helps.

I think Yossi hit the nail on the head there! Ouch!
In Oz we have Telstra on the 850MHz band and Optus etc on the 900MHz 3G band..
So Optus is OK but Telstra nay.
The trap is they may show heaps of signal strength but it is probably from the wrong band!
You can do everything except make or take a phone call!
A lot of problems with phones has reared it's ugly head since the 2G network shut down.
Unless you have plenty of 4G signal (which the various providers share the same bands), you would be pretty stuffed..
I wonder if firmware(Rom) changes could solve the problem ?
(I also have the Doogee x5 max pro..)

Mi4 Network Issue

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with this issue. I bought a WCDMA Mi4 and then installed a French sim card on it. But I only get EDGE connection, so I started looking around forums dealing with this issue, until I found the network mode menu. I have the possibility to choose WCDMA, LTE etc but every single time I change the network, I close the app and go back to it again, the same network stays (TD-SCDMA and LTE). I can't seem to find any APPLY button or something. So I have two questions : 1- Is there an app who could tell which Bands are my phone compatible with
2- if my phone is indeed compatible w/ WCDMA supposing it is a software issue, what can I do ?
Thanks a lot in advance !

Help me - Infocus m808 is working only in 2G

Hi
Maybe you can help me.
I used my M808 2 years. In 2 days i can't call and sms and don't have internet when i have 3G or 4G. When i force 2G i can call and sms. In 3G i can see range but i cant call to anybody.
Do you have idea how i can fix it?
I done hard reset and nothing, I try my SIM card in other smartphone and there i had 4G ok.
Will Change rom help?

This could be caused by a few things.
1. Hardware fault.
2. Your carrier (SIM Provider) switched to a none supported band or bands. The M808 does not support LTE band 20 (800mhz) which is common in Europe
Supported Network Bands:
(2G) GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
(3G) WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
(4G) FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B8/B28
3. APN settings although this would not affect voice calls
4. Your carrier Decided to block your phone by IMEI from using anything other than 2G and yes they do sometimes do this O2 did it to me some years ago now with absolutely no warning or reason given so I will never ever use them again the arrogant s****
5. Duplicate IMEI someone is using a phone with the same IMEI as yours on the same network. This can cause all kinds of strange stuff to happen. Again happened to me when I restored the incorrect backup. Both mine and my sons phone ended up with the same IMEI . It took ages to work out what was going on with that one
I would suggest you first try another sim card from another provider that use's the supported bands for 4G (3UK) if in the UK it used to work fine on my Old M808.

I done some tests.
I put my sim card to other phone - everything is ok.
I put other provider sim card to my phone - only 2G is working properly.
I done flashing - no improvement.
Im afraid hardware fault.
Any more sugestions?
