[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mi-425:
mrsureshisha,

can u tell me one more thing Please.

Is both the sims are active while we use one of them for call or for data. means while we calling on one sim can another also active it can also show network or like gb another sim is out of coverage. Please tell me.....;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrsureshisha:
@mi-425..........Both SIM are active. Its a big plus point when comes to ICS. I am always on 2G data, with my TataDoCoMo number and I get calls on the other number(airtel) and I have called many times. Both the networks are always on.

I have given a hands on trial for 3G in airtel connection. Woooow it was fantastic. The speeds where supersonic. I have a 2 Mbps airtel wired broadband at home, which gives nearly 240 kbps download speed, but the 3G connectivity gives nearly 600 kbps at times. Downloading is just like a zipppppppppp.. But as the rates are high I am hesitant to use it. For 1 GB we have to cough out 250 and I have checked with all the networks, its almost the same cost. If it comes down, it will be great.

Chrome is far better than any other browser.

In US the 2G download speeds are nearly 100 kbps, but here its only around 5-25 kbps based of the network traffic or time of the day. If atleast 2G speeds go up atleast to 50-60 kbps, browsing will be fantastic and at somewhat affordable cost. Now I am using Rs 98 monthly data pack with 2.5 GB free download on TataDoCoMo. Its good. And we have small packs for 3G which starts as less as Rs 8 with 30 mins unlimited data download. If you have a big download which can be downloaded within 30 mins with a very high speed connectivity, we can just give it a go. And also experience the 3G beauty too....

But my wish is we should have high speed connectivity at a low cost. But I dont think with the nexus between TRAI and the Telecom operators, its not possible.

From yesterday I can't able to view almost all the languages other than my two free offer languages pack on my TataSky. The base packs have been restructured and the costs are very high. Previously for 360, I was able to see all the languages. But now with 410 of the premium monthly pack, I am only allowed to view two regional languages and all the Hindi channels. And Not more local channels are available on these direct to home packs. Everybody thought that if competition comes, consumers will be benefited, but the ground reality is very different, because of the nexus between the govt. and the operators. shi t......on the politicians and the greedy culture of the business people.

Dude...was this reply intended to my question on how to get back to GB from ICS?

If yes, what about the base bands, which has been upgraded while installing ICS? Will GB fit with the upgraded base bands after ICS upgradation?

service centers in Mumbai?? FOR ICS Upgradation?

Wasted a whole day of leave from office in locating Spice Service Centers in Mumbai. One in Parel HAD THE MOST VAGUE Addresses, and after spending a lot of Taxi money and time to reach there (They won't pick the phone either), they say they ONLY SELL New ones (Even though the outside board says they are a Spice Service Center.

How to Downgrade??

hey.. i went to Mira Road service center for upgradation from GB to ICS.. that service center guy told me to not upgrade as Most of the people who done upgradation from their service center are facing Many problems, like Hang. So i done upgrade to the GB which was released just before ICS for that model. But after upgradating to it cell phone started to Hang Alot. Called to service center but he informed me that spice has not yet provided Downgrade software so cant downgrade if u want u can upgrade to ICS but at your own risk.

So now in this case what should i suppose to do (except doing ics upgrade or sending my phone to spice head office, which will take a month as per customer told me)

Is there any way to downgrade?

Need help asap , thanx

What is the version of your android? which GB r u using at present? try getting earlier stock rom update.zip from spice & ask them if they can give you baseband files also. as it is older version i guess they can afford to share it :) or look out on web if it already available fr ur cell.

just flash that baseband files (provided bth d earlier version of OS & d OS u r using nw operates on same kernel; othrwise u myt hv to gt flashng 4 earlier kernel done) dn flash d update.zip dn u shld be back to earlier version.

Get the service center to rectify the issue

As far my concern and several other users of Spice mi-425 mobile, its nice experience after upgrading to ICS. The first basic advantage is the stoppage of over heating when it was under GB. And the signal is far better and the smoothness is better than when in GB. And when rooted with ICS, I see lot more betterment.

My suggestion would be, go back to your service center and ask them to rectify. May be they might have wrongly installed. Or you can install yourself the stock ROM by yourself available here (check for ICS STOCK ROM). But my preference would be, better go to service center. ICS is far better than GB and is advanced.:)

Can you reverse back to ICS?

Bro, as per "prasad12ka4" posting in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695807...... the "[ROM] 2.3.6 Imitation 4.2.1" ROM is based of GB and is indicated that it uses GB's baseband's (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36828664&postcount=678) .

As per you, you have installed "ROM Android 4.2.1 LeWa Beta" and the link is http://www.needrom.com/mobile/k-touch-w688/

Are these two ROM's the same? Have you tried to reinstall the ICS Stock ROM? Because ICS has a different baseband.

I too am very much interested in testing with various things on my mi 425.

As far now, I have rooted the upgraded ICS version and using Apex launcher, which is far better than any other launcher. I am using Reverse Tethering through USB (RT-USB). I got 2 mbps line connected to my computer (no wifi modem). By RT-USB, I can easily install or download anything in a flash.

I am very much interested in learning a lot about Android but, initially we need some spoon feeding, which nobody is ready to give us..... :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolboyforeva:

First upgrade to feature rich ICS...

Why haven't you upgraded to ICS? Its far far better than GB. This first and foremost issue of overheating with spice mi 425 running on GB is resolved by upgrading it to ICS. And more features than GB. After rooting you can get good apps, launchers (apex, nova, etc.,) for ICS. And Chrome browser is the faster and smoothest of all with all the rich features. Will you use Win7 or Win98 if given opportunity... I preferred Win8 but our mi 425 allows us to ICS only.... First use the available upgradation and then go for mod's related to it.... its my suggestion....:)
