USA AT&T

If you're still updating this, I'd like to have the ability to use the 1900 mHz band on AT&T. I'm in the US, running 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN. Currently using T-mobile 3.4.2-107-9, which works fine other than the ability to access 1900 mHz towers / microcell networks. Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Which Baseband do you currently use? CM7 comes with a US T-Mobile, but you could better use the brazilian, there are a few in this app....

try it and report back
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
As the original programmer of this tool now uses md5 to check which baseband you have, I could intigrate new basebands if you whish. If you have a baseband and this tool says "Unknown" grab it from your phone and send it to me + the rom description.

Gratias
[Defy Android Development] Lion_1:
How do I grab it?
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
copy the folder /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default to your sd card, zip it, send it :-)
[Defy Android Development] bufa:
It doesn't install using ColckworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.8

it says "amend script is no longer supported". Please switch to "Edify" scripting.

and "installation aborted"

is there any way I can install it?
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
Same for me! Looking forward to it so that I can change baseband in the leaked GB to see if I get internet connection.

Thanks

[Defy Android Development] kamileon1:
hi,

just switched over to android from winmo after many many years. living in new zealand at the moment. bought defy from usa, flashed cm7 beta 6. everything works fine with vodafone nz prepay sim (i.e. wifi, gps, gsm/umts, etc).

but when i switched to the 2degrees new zealand prepay sim, i can't register on ANY network/carrier. i do an auto search and the phone can find the 3 main networks - 2degrees, vodafone nz and telecom nz. but it won't connect to any of them.

this baffles me since 2degrees has a roaming partnership with vodafone nz. it should at least connect to vodafone, correct?

i tried changing basebands from bbswitcher v3.1 - tried all of the different basebands, but none of them allow me to connect. the networks are listed after a search, but i can't connect to any. Any ideas? Please help! Thanks so much!

kamileon1

defy (usa t-mobile version, unlocked), cm7 beta 6 rom (rooted of course)
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
The SIM Card is active? If not, this could be the solution. If you're not sure, try in another phone...

Also try the new Basebandswitcher, more Basebands are included.

[Defy Android Development] bokeron2020:
I'd prefer to keep separate versions for different languages... if I had a vote :D

Argentina Personal 3.4.2_107-7 BaseBand Version dont work with this carrier. I have got to use Argentina Claro BaseBand. This did not happend in V3 version. Sorry for my english.
[Defy Android Development] ArcanisX:
which exactly baseband should I use for russia (moscow megaphon, specifically)? I've been told it's 900/1800/2100 "chinese", only I see just "850/1800/2100" called ChinaME722 1.10 or "900/2100" variants...

Or it's "try each one and compare work/not and batt life" deal?
[Defy Android Development] Jt612:
I can't be bothered reading through this whole thread just to see if this has been mentioned before but,

the option 'Austria telstra 2.26' should read Australia ;)
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
I'm going to compare those two, If there is a difference I'll exchange it.

Try each one, compare and TELL BACK HERE is the deal :D

Ah... going to fix that :)
[Defy Android Development] bokeron2020:
It's just one of those "personal tastes" things :D

I mean I'd prefer one apk for each language instead of all languages into only one apk, though I understand that's impractical and harder to update, debug and mantain.

My only reason is that I suppose there will never be enough translations included, and what could remain a "low weight" app might turn into a multi-megabyte apk.

English is enough to understand what this app do and how to do it, and it's not an app you're going to be using everyday, anyways.

If I had a vote, I'd prefer you inverted your time in a different way: standarizing the names of the different basebands... country/region, frequencies, version. I suppose that's up to the original developer, though.

Anyways... whatever you do in the end, thank you for the time you're putting into this. You're helping a lot of people.
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
I just installed on my Defy Froyo 2.2 using System Recovery, I rebooted, but I cannot see any icon regarding BaseBandSwitcher, am I doing something wrong? please help me :( thanks!!!!

EDIT: Instead of installing it as an update.zip, I decompressed the .zip and found an .apk , I installed and I was able to use it, is this ok as an installation way or will I miss something important? thanks!
[Defy Android Development] racca:
It should work just fine, we made it as an installer in the first place anyway.

Sent from my MB860
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Thank you very much for your oppinion. Its never wrong to tell what you think :D

Every language added will take only a few kilobyte, as the whole APK is compressed. So this won't hurt anybody. Having a couple of APKs with different languages would make "the noobs choice" pretty hard. Keep it simple for the mass of people.

If you have a good idea of standarizing, tell me... if you want via PM.

I would be glad if the developer of this app would intigrate all those languages by himself, but right now I really dunno how to contact, and who to contact, as I'm not able to read on the original website :mad:
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
Ok, thank you!!, I'm testing some bands right now, seems like it's working!
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
I have a problem, the phone works great, but as soon as I change from T-Mobiles USA BaseBand to China BaseBand, which makes 3G working, I get a lot of noise during a phonecall, sometimes I hear like the call is cutted off, or I can't hear what the other person is saying, it's really annoying, but I haven't found any other way to make 3G to work, is this "normal" when you change bands? thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
No I never had something like that with my german providers. Probably there's somebody listening :rolleyes: lil joke. Have a look if you'll find any china rom not listet in the basebandlist, and try to grab its baseband. Another question: You tried all 3 China Basebands?
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:

[Defy Android Development] ArcanisX:
Fine. "850/1800/2100" ChinaME722 1.10 seems to work for the most part at Moscow Megafon: voice standby with rather minor usage gets as high as 4 days.

"Data on" puts a kibosh on it bigtime tho, 3-4 hours of data daily will make it last about 36 hrs (e.g. "skip one night's charge")

I just wonder what baseband Milestone/XT720 are shipped there, cuz unlike Defy they are available in Russia, and while basebands are unlikely to be compatable, it could at least give an idea.
[Defy Android Development] erickne:
I have data connection but no voice. My baseband stays EPU93_U_00.59.00 even after reflashing with nordic or us SBF.

I use Brazillian TIM.

After using baseband switcher my system keep saying that baseband is EPU93_U_00.59.00, but the app says the choosen one. What is happening?
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
Well, it's weird since this happened after I changed the BaseBand to China, it happened to me as well when I flashed an update.zip from Argentina provider which in another thread regarding 3G Fix, that's why I'm assuming it happens everytime I change basebands, I remember I tried the 3 different bands and only one worked for me to get 3G, what I don't know is, supposedly my internet provider uses 850 Mhz band to get 3G but T-Mobile USA which is my default basedand has that band but I don't get anything else other than Edge, any idea? thanks!!

what about india ?not listed in the list?...which baseband is correct for india sea15 rom
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Please post the txt File in UTF-8 format again, thanks for your work.

I'm working on your's...

found problems with the serbian language, but I'm not sure. Will finish work today. My Desk is full of work, so I got just a lil time to do this stuff :(

For example: this is what google says when I translate Australia to serbian: Аустралија

Are there different kind of charectersets in the serbian language, caus you send me all in latin letters. Also google has no problems to translate your text to english, so it ain't wrong...I think :o

If you have the Indian Sea 15 ROM installed (no custom rom) then you'll got the right baseband.
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
actually is was referring sea15 baseband in different rom.....so if i flash it to other french rom which should be selected then ??
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
right now there isn't a "indian" baseband. Probably you'll have to select one from your region, like Taiwan or similar. Before you flash, grab the baseband from your indian rom, zip it, and post it here. I can do a file compare to which baseband it'll match, or if it's a complete different. You'll find the baseband files under /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:

Hi,

I have emailed u the Indian baseband files from , the file_GPRS, GSM, Logger, SEEM_Flex_Tables, UMA etc are the ones which should be critical.

the audio ones don't matter - right?
[Defy Android Development] jereaa:
For some reason I changed to v4 and now it leaves my phone completely without any signal when applying Argentina (personal) baseband. I tried using one of China's basebands since they are pretty much alike the one I need and it works perfectly as it used to do in v3.1.

Can this be fixed by you or this is just a translation project? Just reporting in case something might be worked out...
[Defy Android Development] juanyunis:
How do you get or extract those basebands? Please, can you explain it to me? because if i want to use another rom, i need to change de baseband to china ME 850/1900/2100 and it's not stable with me, it screws my gps... so i realy want extact the baseband from my original rom, or maybe, if you can extract the baseband from this sbf file... JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25MSTLALA019.0R_JORLAFROMOVLALA_P017_A008_M009_HWp3_Service1FF

This sbf was the only one which works with my carrier tigo :S.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
You need to flash this SBF and copy the files. You'll find the baseband files under /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default .

Good luck
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
so you're saying - for my CM7 - i can just overwrite the baseband files and i'll be done? no complications? which tool to use to copy?
[Defy Android Development] KirMit:
HOT question for Russian user's located in Russian Federation.

Which baseband you use with your Defy for most compatibility and right battery usage?

With MTS, Megafon or Beeline, anyway.

I think my battery fast discharging issue is in a wrong baseband using...

Thanks for all!

Sqoerk, have you received my PM with the translations ?
[Defy Android Development] salingpusa:

does switching baseband helps in conserving battery life?

Hope you do the needful :)

you can even try to integrate in your new version with INDIA as an option.

Thanking you
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Back from wakation:

I used YAFFS for my Defy, as it can have root access. Other filemanagers: root explorer or supermanager

Yes... And i'll integrate it as fast as possible :)

Sometimes it can help, but mostly you have to try on your own.

All others, I'll review your questions and will have a look what I can do :cool:
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
I compared those 2 "new" Argentinian with the old one. They are completly different, as the "old" one is from a milestone 2. So it should be intigrated as a 3rd one :D

Will try today if I can do this, but I can't promise, as I don't own the sources of this tool :(

Edit: It is possible. Next version will include the other Argentinia Baseband and this indian.
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
But till you update which base-band should i use. You can refer my attachment in post#76 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14468593&postcount=76)
[Defy Android Development] jereaa:
Thanks man, much appreciated. For now China's baseband saved my ass :P
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
you can use this ripped baseband also. Try it with a explorer with root access and overwrite those basebandfiles with your indian files and reboot :cool:
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
yeah cool :cool:

and it went into a bootloop. Reflashed CM7RC0 again.

Luckily nothing failed - I was only on 11% battery!!
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
How you replaced the files? If you have this problem again, set your device to flight mode, so you can do a clean start. I once deleted this files, but with flight mode my device was running well. Probalby I'll release a new version today...I have to test the new version first :)
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
I used Yaffs in root mode. Deleted the 5 original files - GSM, GPRS, logger, seem tables, Uma etc (not the audio) and rebooted. After 2nd init's blue led it would show the Motorola logo for a minute then screen would shutdown & reboot. No chance for even cm7 logo - forget booting. & selecting flight mode :-(

What actual difference between basebands? They're total different?

Why so many variations, if there only 900/2100, 850/2100 and so on?
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Many people report better connection with a baseband for their region. It's because the basebands are slightly differend. For example one region uses 900,450MHz and the other 899,760MHz.... nearly 900, but not exactly.

[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
I recommend any central europe basebands to you both. Try what has best signal for you.

@Salzgurke: you'll get the basebands delivered with the basebandswitcher I have attached to my first post. If you don't have CM7 install it via Clockworkmod or extract the apk File and install it normally :)

What is best baseband to use for Cosmote Romania.

If the phone is in the 3G network end up battery within 5 hours.

Since I bought it using only 2G network but is not normal.

Thanks

Sorry for my bad english (Google Translate) :D
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
if you are on stock rom, then you dont need to change your baseband ...proper baseband is already selected in your default rom.

You only need to change it when you have installed a custom rom from various other regions. :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
For stock ROMs you need not change anything. In case you ever install custom ROM like CyanogenMOD, for Romania select the Central Europe baseband.

[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
The zip should install the Baseband Switcher app. I've found that it doesn't always show up straight after boot (when using MIUI). However, next time I rebooted, it appeared in the launcher! Perhaps worth trying to install via CWM once again?

how basebandswitcher do it?

Hello, I've used the basebandswitcher V4 on a XT720 w/ Android 2.2, to switch band from Korea one to Mexico one, since some service providers in Argentina use the same bands I picked it.

unfortunately, it didn't work, it lost signal so, I tried to go back to korean one, but, after that, the phone didn't turn on again, it keeps rebooting with Motorola logo until batteries dry out.

I just want to know if anybody have an idea of how basebandswitcher do its job, maybe, knowing this I can found a way to revive my phone again...

Thanks!
