[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
the stock ics ota will surely be a world rom, as verizon wouldnt deviate from global phone for the inc2 or they d likely be liable for lawsuits, or at the least have to offer upgrades to other global phones to its users...both of which arent attractive options to them im sure
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I agree with you. If they didn't Verizon or HTC could get sued easily. Its a world phone so if it wasn't able to use GSM from a factory rom it would be a lawsuit waiting to happen
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniETingles:
as t-mobile users we wouldn't be able to receive the update OTA tho huh? /;
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
well obviously you cant pull the ota from verizon servers if you arent on their network, but it doesnt matter

whether its by leaked RUU or a pulled Rom from someones phone once the ota's start it ll be available
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RichAP:
Hey guys, just a heads up that the AeroEvans CM9 Kang from 3.28 has initial GSM support although I dont know if anyone has tested it yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
for the shown chosen settings this , it is not GSM , this is CMDA mode only

EVDO is the 3G got from CMDA ( it is not GSM )

you can read this

Useful General Information Regarding 2G and 3G for either CDMA or GSM modes
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
he just had cdma selected, he was referring to gsm being an option on that menu
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RichAP:
Maybe this screenshot will be a little clearer for you :D

Look for the T-Mobile "E" ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
just out of curiousity cuz ive always wondered, why gsm users chose the inc2 over the inc s? i havent investigated the tmo/att/intnl 3g bands, but wouldnt that have been better than edge data speeds?

this isnt any kind of negative post, just im curious to know the reasons :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RichAP:
I'm not a daily GSM user but often travel to GSM countries which is why I got the Inc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah i dont mean the verizon subscribers that wanted a worldphone, i meant the international guys and tmo/att folks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
it is sold cheaper than Incredible S internationally in countries supports GSM only

also some verizon subscribers find a good deal and send them to relatives

if you are using the Original Software , it works perfect internationally for GSM and data ( you will not feel big difference between VIVO and VIVOW )

only problem comes with custom sense 3.5 ( not sense 3 ) Roms that is not compatible with global phones

i am located outside us and i use forign Sim Card , Newt has made GSM Roms that gave H ( only got H on his HD v4 )

also mikrunny world has working mobile data ( but i don't remember if it is E or H , But i can test it if you want )
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I have and am currently using it. Its quite nice but if you reboot to much you have to wipe the dalvik & cache to get the network back lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I thought the Inc S is the European model, generally the same HW though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I've never gotten H yet for long at least lol. I wish... I only get E no matter what rom I try. I got H for 5 minutes on andyBONESTOCK when my gf was in the hospital a few weeks ago but not since then
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
it is, but many att/tmo guys buy international phones and run them on those networks w/ 3g/hspa/etc

i didnt know about price differences though, interesting
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Are you saying that if say I had an Inc S I would be able to get 3g on T-Mobile US?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
thats what im curious about, i dont know what the 3g bands for inc s and for tmo respectively
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RichAP:
T-mobile USA uses the 1700 band for 3G which I think most phones dont support unless they are T-mobile USA specific.

According to this though they have started using the the 1900 band:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
read this 58

VIVO has the GSM 3G 1700 band ( HSDPA 900 / 2100 or HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 ) and ( HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - North America ) ,

this phone should be fully compatible with t-mobile network

for VIVO and VIVOW , data is different , VIVO is more compatible with GSM mobile data , see here http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3938&idPhone2=3788
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
if thats the case the inc s would be fine on tmobile
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Hmmm, I might have to get one but can I use the VivoW roms? I personally like your MIUI 4, Open Sense 4 & Aeroevans CM9 Kangs
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
roms can be ported, but cant be used as is

they have similar roms though, ie their cm9/aosp ics is at the same functional level as ours, they have a sense 4 rom port (actually 2: virtuous and nik's)

they just dont have a current miui 4 maintainer, nor does it look likely they ll get one atm
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
this phone is compatible , unless t-mobile restricts 3G to their own IMEI 3G devices , check this point first ( is it true or not )

VIVO has better support for future Roms and ICS roms

there is an Egyptian developer EhabFG makes really excellent Roms , i tried one of them on VIVOW
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
ehag doesnt seem to be active anymore (hasnt released anything in months) and just was a poor man's proxuser in terms of rom porting

supoort for ics roms going forward is about the same honestly as most fixes for each phone are compatible...honestly all the ics development on msm 7x30 devices are at about the same point because fixes are pretty universal

as for ics sense, both are getting official sense 3.6 at some point so thats the same

honestly though if you could trade or get a vivo cheaply and use 3g you d be in a better situation than using the vivow on edge
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
you are the judge regarding development and porting capabilities , i am as a user only can judge end product , the two or three roms i tested of his work were good , i don't have VIVO so i didn't know he stopped or slowed down these days

VIVO is faster getting newer Roms ( as you said in a previous Post , it has sense 4 roms ) , as i remember ( not sure ) newt was saying once he may consider porting VIVO Roms

i don't have the problem of E , cause where i am the GSM 3G is issued through 2100 band by the carrier ( the problem comes with sense3.5 roms that only gives me E ) , i don't remember what mikrunny world gives , i guess it is also E ( not sure ) , is that related to build.prop setting ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
its somewhat faster depending on the rom...they just happen to have more developers (though they have dwindled to the point where its about even)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I'm wondering.... can roms be worked on from windows? If so what tools would I need, I'd like to take a whack at it lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
aosp roms require either linux or mac osx to build/compile but skin roms (sense/tw/blur/et all) can be worked on in anything

basically a skin rom is just a pull of an RUU or ota firmware that is then hacked up to either work properly on another phone its ported to or to add mods/enhancements to it

truth be told i do way too much work in windows (when i have spare time at work) but its a lot easier at home in linux :o

you just need 7zip to extra/open roms, the android sdk/adb set up, apktool/apkmanager and notepad ++ (or equiv)

most developers (me included) got their start by theming as it teaches you the basics of what does what and what goes where as well as familiarizing with the various tools
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
OK well I can go ahead and install Ubuntu cause I'm more interested in ICS and maybe CM7 or 9 stuff. Making my own kangs and whatnot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Of course it would also help in making say GSM patches for the roms that don't support it, or just general help for you guys when you don't have time to fix stuff
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah you can build from aerovan's cm9 source pretty easily once you have a build environment setup, thats not too hard

now working in java to make your own changes/mods :cool: thats the difficult stuff
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yeah I'm more interested in fixing problems than making new things really. If I could just do that, maybe add an app or two in here and there just to keep thing up to date I'd be happy
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Best of luck with it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluefire153:
So, what's the most stable Rom at this time for incredible 2? Please tell me, my incredible 2 sensor is not well as my friend's incredible s with sense 3.5 (my sense is still 2.1 :(( )
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Most stable hmmmm. Well it just depends on whether you're a Verizon customer or not. If so I'd say RC mix Energy Blue edition 4.0, if you don't like Sense at all you can trump him by using Android 4.04. Aeroevans CM9 kang is very stable at this point. It even has GSM now :). I personally haven't stopped using ICS (4.0.x) since the year started and am loving it. Gingerbread (2.3.x) is just not for me anymore, one you go ICS you don't go back. But no stable sense ICS as of yet, just Open Sense 4 which isn't ready for daily use yet
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
I have been watching this thread closely lately, I like the efforts being put forth for GSM support! I've tried several different ics roms now and currently using aero's CM9 3-31 build, seems very stable for me, but all the ics roms I've used now, except maybe TP beta 6, I haven't had working data. I'm using the same APN settings I used with GB roms (Movistar.mx) and I show a connection including the little 'E' in the signal bars but no data. Anyone else experiencing this? Or know of a fix? Its a bit weird sometime I'll be able to send or receive gmail but nothing else...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Well to get data, at least for me. I set the network mode to GSM only, then when I see the E start blinking I go to the phone app, then settings and start repeatedly tapping voicemail service and selecting my carrier until I see the E stay there and signal bars turn blue.

Hope this helps :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Hey thanks for the input! This seems to help. I think its working now but either I have bad coverage or the networks overloaded... Do you have hopes of these types of bugs being fixed before the official release?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Well to be honest Edge network sucks big time lol. I assume they will be fixed in the official release but who knows when that will be. I am working on getting GSM working better along with others, but there is hope :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Bump. This really needs to be stickied.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] colossus:
Done.:p:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniETingles:
anyone have any word on how progress for gsm is going for nuijitsu's sense 4 rom or is it still in the dark? /:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Nits really doesn't do gsm so I doubt that'll happen. I'd stick with CM9 or AOKP myself. If you have issues with rebooting just wipe the dalvik and cache and everything is back to normal
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
GSM Solution for Cynangemod & MIUI (ICS/GB) Roms

An easy GSM temp fix for anyone who needs it:

Step 1: Dial *#*#4636#*#* to get into test mode

Step 2: Phone Information > Set preferred network type: GSM only. Then your phone will start crashing, until you do the step 3 fix.

Step 3:

> adb shell

# su

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'

# reboot

Now GSM works.

This worked for me, even for Nitsuj's MIUI ICS Rom!!!!

Unfortunately didn't worked with Sense Based Roms!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Sweet, I like that :). At least MIUI4Vivow will work for us now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I may have to add this to the OP later if I get time
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Do you have to have GSM unlocked to use the method posted above?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
As far as I know, yes. I personally have been unlocked from day 1 so that's all I can say
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I'll give it a try
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
OK sweet, let me know how it goes so I can update the OP accordingly
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniETingles:
Does this make ics gsm stable?!?!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I actually haven't tried it yet. I am on AOKP b31 and have it wipe the cache on boot so for me GSM works fine on each boot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Can I do this from a terminal emulator cause I'm not near my computer atm
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniETingles:
I'll just wait for confirmation from you before I try this, I'm auctually really excited to see if this'll completely fix GSM! I'm just too lazy to try it haha.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
OK well I tried it, but I don't see any real difference yet. I used a Terminal Emu
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
OK so I've rebooted like 5 times now without wiping anything and the network is still there every time. This seems to be a more permanent fix
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Were you running the command through terminal e on ur phone or through ur computer? Also on a side note, if I select 'gsm only' my 'use 2g only' box is auto selected sometimes. I've wondered of this setting is slowing down my data...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JahatHNc:
is this trick can be use on MIUI GB?

i try on MIUI ICS and not working.. reason [ error: near "ser": syntax error ]

----------------------------------

notes now GSM working for me on MIUI ICS..

thanks my friend..

i try in many time.. and got work on GSM..

thanks very much.. for this thread.. now i can use MIUI GB on GSM mode..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
I am searching hard to get a fix like this for sense based roms!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon, I am going to find it!..that's for sure!!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I used a terminal emu on the phone. But yes if you select GSM only it auto selects 2G only. I actually switched it up a bit by selecting GSM auto (prl) and I'm getting full Edge Network speed (2.5G)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I'm confused, is this working on MIUI GB & ICS? I personally haven't used MIUI in awhile cause there's no GSM
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I hope you do too. I'd love to get this working on open sense 4 & the sense 3.5 roms :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JahatHNc:
i have tested and work my bro.. now i running in MIUI GB and work for GSM :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Sweet I may just switch, I like MIUI but until now I haven't been able to use it cause I'm not a Verizon customer :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JahatHNc:
me to is not verizon customer.. im fully XL Customer ( Indonesian Provider ) and in my country ( indonesia ) espesialy my place ( gorontalo ) the signal CDMA is poor.. so i just use the GSM mode.. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I so hope we can find a way if getting this GSM fix to work on sense roms. I want to be able to use sense 4 lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Thanks for all your doing for us gsm users!! I ran the command in terminal, worked great. I selected the GSM auto (prl) and now I'm back to no data...guess I'll have to go back to GSM only unless you have another idea to try. What's the possibility the carrier I'm using (Movistar Mexico) has the UMTS/HSPA bands locked?

Thanks again
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Thanks I try lol. As far as your Q goes I have no idea about that. I can only speak for T-Mobile US cause that's what I use. I don't know anything about other carriers I'm sorry
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JahatHNc:
have you tes it on open sense 4 my friend?

i want to tes on open sense 4.0 but i can't download the pacth.. can you mirroring it for me?:D:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
Well, I am trying to get it work on Sense rom's!

From the thread

code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2928 ,

I feel that due to certain value for preferred_network_mode in Sense 3.5/4 roms we are not able to get GSM!

At first, I flashed Mikrunny's World Rom in which GSM Worked & in that the value for preferred_network_mode was 1 !!!

Then I flashed Bindroid's Sense 3.5 Rom in which GSM didn't worked & in that the value for preferred_network_mode was 4 !!!

So of course I changed it to 1, but when I restarted, the radio went off & I couldn't turn it on again!!

Anyone having suggestions to turn the radio on, other than *#*#4636#*#* method, cause that is what i tried!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Interesting .... that's the method I use too. Sadly, but if its only a single digit value maybe it can be hashed out for each rom with minimal effort.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
How do you see the values?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Ran this just fine in terminal...my problem is now I can't get any data off the network only wifi. Can I switch this back or would a nandroid be in place? Or another something to try?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
What rom are you using? And have you entered in the apn settings for your network to be able to get data?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
I used Root Explorer & SQLite Editor!!

& we can the values in settings.db
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Is SQLite editor for the phone? Meaning I don't have to use a computer for this
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] razerz:
Hi all. Well i ll explain my condition. I brought my inc 2 from an Ebay seller and its a gsm unlocked fon. It has zeus 1.3 in it. Really working without any flaws till date. Its been 2 months or so. I am from india. So i hav no use of cdma . I tried MIUI rom but no gsm option in it. Wrote this cause if anyone from india is having any doubts, Better ask it here
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Well thanks but if you really want MIUI you can use the stuff in the lowers part of the OP to get GSM working, I did it so I know it works
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JahatHNc:
would you like to edit the thread with the link in every rom my friend? heheheh :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Maybe at some point but some of the links I used have since been shut down so I'm not sure what they all are lol. I only officially support MIUI and CM9 ATM so this guide is mostly just for reference purposes
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
Yes...you can view it from your phone!

OC/UV Beater detects your available frequencies. Keep it around 1024 on the high end to start, and you should be safe. Try bumping your voltage up a notch.

I can't get Kies to upgrade my tab. My tab is recognised but when I am connected to it, it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedward:
Mine did the same. Once. Cannot connect to Kies since then, just by wifi. If I want to connect by USB, it says "Unsupported connection mode alert - Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode." :mad:

But this mode is not in my tab, I read others have Kies mode in the menu, but some versions doesn't. I spent already hours with that horrible Kies application...

Seems like we have now other, much better methods of updates - just causing the loss of warranty...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedward:
The KIES update doesn't work for me. Sorry I did not try to update mine from CWM yet, because it had issues with the screen turning on sometimes. I was waiting for 2 months what the customer service will say about the problems and updates. I explained them also the KIES update problem. Finally seams like my Internet/GSM provider's technical support don't know anything about the SIM locked devices they sell, not even at the beginners level, so said my device is probably wrong and to take into the service - last week. I am pretty sure not about it is not wrong, just the old ROM, and have some bad apps already removed.

So soon I will ROOT and update mine from CWM as I will have time. I want to forget the hopeless KIES... I use Linux all on my computers, just have a windows for these cases :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] used2hvatreo:
While it is definitely your choice on whether or not to void the warranty on your devices, if you do the appropriate amount of reading about nvflash, fastboot and bootloaders, you can pretty much consider this device unbrickable, and if you ever needed to, you can load the software back onto the tablet that makes it so your warranty was never voided... at least in sammy's eyes
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedward:
Thanks! I'm a little bit afraid about my telecom provider has a special localized ROM/firmware version, which I can't find on the internet and can't download. I have to do a system backup somehow, and when needed to restore and unroot in the worst case, but I don't have any experience yet with the tab. So good to know that it is unbrickable, thanks again!
