[LG Optimus 3D] CaulkOnMyWaffles:
Hello everyone,

After lurking for a week or two and finally building up the courage to modify my phone (Rogers LG Optimus 3D P925g) I have created an account and would like to join the community.

Unfortunately I cannot post on drastic00's Tutorial yet until I have 10 posts, so I'd like to personally thank him here. His guide was great, there were a few things I'd clarify on it from a Noob's perspective and if he's curious of my feedback, I'd be happy to share. (Guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195753)

Now for my question:

My phone is now running XBSA ICS 3D ROM v7 with AC!D and I guess is on the V28b baseband from the guide.

Before I upgraded I was on android 2.3.5 but was also on the 4G network with Rogers.

With my new OS/ROM I'm now only on 3G and H network and do not know how to set it back to 4G. From everything I've learned I think this has to do with my Baseband/RIL to get back on 4G.

I read and went through this guide and there's another Windsor/Rogers guy, but none of his Baseband changes seemed to get a 4G network. Perhaps that post is too outdated for 4G?

Anyways, could anyone help me attempt to get back onto my old 4G network? Pointing me in the right direction would be great, I tried the forum search for topics on 4G or Rogers and it seemed a bit limited.

P.S. Please let me know if I broke any "Noob rules" because, well.... I am one, but would like to change that :) Have a wonderful day/night all!
[LG Optimus 3D] CaulkOnMyWaffles:
Bump

I'd have better luck getting help in the Development guide. So until then I guess I need 10 posts.

At least I'll make use of these 10 posts and maybe help another complete noob by sharing my efforts:

Learning more about what 4G really is I found that it's actually HSPA+. Or just a better 3G that's been advertised wrong. Oh how annoyingly confusing... That means my old stock GB 2.3.5 showing "4G" must have actually just been HSPA+ since this p925g doesn't have LTE capabilities.

So on my preferred network I only have GSM option and no HSPA like I think I'm supposed to have.

My Mobile Network Type idles at UMTS:3 then bumps up to HSPA: 11 when I download. This can be seen in the About Phone under Status.

I shall try Backing up the current state and flashing different Basebands found in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974734

Again, any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Since you've got the P925, and not the P920, you could try to search the forum for this phone instead. There is a complete section for P925.

For example, there is now an official ICS V30B ROM for P925, which is more recent than the ICS V28B ROM for P920. This ROM was already released for AT&T but according to many reports here, it works on other networks and even on P920 phone, and it has full 4G support.

Just search the forum, there are many threads and reports about this new ROM. For example:

The original thread with rom .kdz files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2197191

Another thread with rom .bin files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2198069

Members who report good 4G: Here, here, check the 4G icon here and for Canada here.

Just follow the guides for installing a .kdz ROM or the alternative guides for installing a .bin ROM and eventually you'll get 4G with the V30B ROM.
[LG Optimus 3D] mut3d:
bit OTT on the here parts
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Would you like to elaborate on that?

The new member has the P925, lives in Canada, installed the v28b for P920 and doesn't have 4G now. With the v30b you could get 4G on P925 and P920 as well, as shown on the "here parts".

If you have any other information, perhaps you could post it here in order to help our new member.
[LG Optimus 3D] CaulkOnMyWaffles:
Thank you very much!

I spent about 6 hours or so researching this V30b ROM since there's no "Total Noob guide" for it haha.

I'm going to go for it, I'll try Xbsall's custom ROM that the Canadian user Goldenmeadow has had luck on it.

If I brick it, I've done enough research to be confident that I can fix it.

Also, boston71, your help was clear, kind and very informative. I actually thought the P925g was just the Canadian version of the P920 with french support. I appreciate your help a lot and wish I could hit Thanks more. I'm curious to know how you easily searched the forum for those single posts? Is there some sort of advanced search trick I'm missing? I get too many results that are just threads and not single posts, then I have to Ctrl + F on each thread page...

Cheers mate!
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Thanks for your nice words. :o

I would suggest not to install a custom ROM but first the v30b stock ROM after downloading its .kdz or .bin files which I linked on my previous post.

You've already succeeded flashing a .bin ROM following the guide from your first post, so you are familiar with that.

You could also try flashing the .kdz ROM following the guide at the sticky thread here (only the Step 1 is needed). The advantages of this method are that is simpler and faster than the first one, and most importantly, is safer than the first one (for example many people are losing their IMEI when flashing .bin files).

I don't know about the Canadian P925g version, perhaps some Canadian member could help. I don't even own the P925 American version, only the European P920 one. But since you introduced yourself so nicely and no one answered your posts for half a day, I decided to answer with the (little) I know about the v30b.

No, I didn't use any trick for searching the forum. But since the V30B is very new rom, there are very few threads and posts about it. I just went to the threads and searched with Ctrl + F about the "4G" :)

[LG Optimus 3D] Goldenmeadow:
Ok, finally I can help somebody and share the pain I went through :)

OP, you are absilutely right - 4G and H are the same!

Long time ago, when we got gingerbread update, my phone was showing 4G all the time. Then some member made nice fix and my phone was showing ACTUAL connection speed - 3G or H.

Now with ICS it's back to just 4G... And it doesn't matter if you are on stock or american version of xbsa.

But you put v28 which is european. And that version, I imagine, distinguishing between 3G and H.

Then. There is hidden menu. You dial 3845#*925#. In there it used to be section where you could force your phone into specified band. But now it's gone. Still there is MODEM SETTINGS -> ENGINEERING MODE. There you can see actual band you are on.

And now I share information that I was digging for looong time:

Rogers uses two frequencies in two formats:

GSM850

GSM1900

WCDMA850 - called WCDMA_V

WCDMA1900 - called WCDMA_II

In GSM you can get only Edge (2G). Usually 1900 in big cities and 850 in country.

WCDMA gives you 3G/H:

UMTS:3 is 3G

HSPA:9 is H

HSDPA:11 is upper H

(sorry, I don't remember exact abbreviations).

Here is little discussion you might find interesting:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1380357

To save battery phone stays in 3G mode (UMTS) until you start transmit/receive data. Then it jumps to H.

But lazy (or crooked) guys at Rogers and AT&T decided to show 4G all the time (because it's Thrill 4G? :) ). And it's confusing...

It took me long time to figure out.

Glad you took courage to upgrade!

Congrats!
[LG Optimus 3D] CaulkOnMyWaffles:
Thank you Goldenmeadow & Boston71

Thanks boston71! I'll try the V30b. I figure if I somehow brick my phone or really mess it up, I'll get it back to normal somehow. I don't see a thread about someone being bricked and then they actually use their phone as a brick since it's unsolvable :)

That was a very interesting thread, thank you for sharing it. I wish they'd make it all one standard for the levels of connection!

That Rogers information would explain why I only have the option to pick from GSM or WCDMA. But then it doesn't explain why my father's Galaxy S3 has a HSPA/LTE option.... Maybe it's just the phone or something, I'm not sure.

I'll try the V30b even if it seems I'd be okay with what I got. I am just really enjoying this stuff :)

Thank you so much for your help, greatly greatly appreciated!

Edit after a re-read: Lol, I want to hit more Thanks buttons since your post was just so much awesome information summarized in such a simple and understandable way. Go! Spread your knowledge! You're good at it!
[LG Optimus 3D] LeighR:
I know its been said but the O3D is not a 4G phone, despite the Yank version name.

I have had a play today with basebands and 28b/30b ROMs. If you are on xbsav7 you are probably better off staying on it and just flashing the 30b baseband with LG Flashtool.

Switching to the correct baseband increased my data speed by about double. Install Speed Test to check for yourself.
[LG Optimus 3D] Goldenmeadow:
It explains everything :) Sammy G3 DOES have LTE mode (real 4G) that our 3D lacks... But don't forget, our LG is couple years older :)

And believe me, I found all this info not just for fun. My first phone was LG Optimus 2x - I got from friend who bought it in Europe. So I had 3G in Kitchener but only Edge (2G) in Woodstock... It was driving me crazy till I found about bands. So that phone had GSM850/1900 but only CDMA1900. That is why in "rural" town I didn't have 3G... So I got rid of that model and bought 3D on kijiji :)

And like LeighR said - try different basebands and do speed test. Before this one I used v20c. Actually I'm still testing this v30b baseband, may be I'll go back...:)
[LG Optimus 3D] CaulkOnMyWaffles:
V20C

I've been PMing a fellow Rogers + Windsor Ontario user. He's very kind and has told me V20C has worked wonders for him. That's what I'll try flashing tonight.

With V30B I'm just getting 2-3MB/s on speedtest with 3-4 bars signal.

He's telling me he gets 8-10MB/s. I guess I'll have to try 'er out.

I was going to try the V28b Large partitions then his custom V30B rom then flash bandbase V20c. I figure if I brick my phone that it's a good lesson :P

I'm on stock V30b ICS from AT&T right now. There's way too much bloatware.

Thanks to both of ya!
[LG Optimus 3D] Goldenmeadow:
Don't forget to apply fix for metallic voice after you flash v20c!

And yes, I think I noticed drop in speed too... Gonna try v20c this weekend.

Also thinking about switching to xbsa 7.2 only because it's nice to have his support - I've been on his ported ICS for couple months now and happy.

Hello Guys.

After crashing my last XDA the "new" one arrived on Friday.

Used the home cooked 3.17. ROM VErsion and all looks fine.

After the restore from SD-Card all Application are their, just have to register new Tomtom.

But today I´ve done a soft reset to enter the bootloader. Works fine. Nothing done in the bootloader and started the device new.

All data are missing. PocketPC Theme is far far away, no Owner Information, activesync needs to be configured new, have to install all software new or restore the backup.....

Just liike after a hard reset.

What is wrong ?

Cheers

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
If you enter the bootloader on 4.x, this always happens (at least to me...)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Qman:
You say restore from SD card backup, was that backup from ROM older than 3.17? If so thats what caused your problem. You can't restore from a backup of a different ROM you have to re-install all of your software.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
Firstly, please don't get me wrong here. Im not trolling in the slightest and I really appreciate all the work the devs do here.

With the HTC One having such high specs is there really any need to flash custom Roms? In my opinion all of them seem the same and don't look or feel any different to the stock rom on the One. The only benefit I can see is for Root access.

Im sure there is a lot of "under the hood" tweaks that are done but are these really noticeable or beneficial to the end user? Other peoples thoughts would be interesting.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Livebyte:
Actually yes, I wish to get CM working fully on HTC One.

It gives us an alternate experience than what HTC wanted us to.

Best of all, you don't have to wait so long for HTC to update their phones.

Especially when they abandon the One, we rely on CM.

But I'm really hoping for the success of the One, nobody could resist the look and feel of the One.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
I totally agree the updates and the benefit of getting rid on Sense if you dont like it is a real benefit. But is there a need for multiple Sense custom roms?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Livebyte:
That's subjective I guess. But for something like example HTC DROID DNA or Butterfly, Sense 5 gets ported before HTC did. So I guess it's also a huge benefit.

I won't be unlocking my bootloader for a while. Not until I am at least sure that my device is working 100% and that will take a couple of weeks. I was eager to root it etc but I was reading about HTC's warranty and it seems as though it is a very long winded process. Maybe you wish to do the same?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbenny1:
yep ill be in no hurry either.

when i finally get a device im happy with yea i will root and flash custom rom, but not CM - Sense 5 is great and IMO is much better than stock JB - there are a few minor things I would like added, but I have no doubt they will be added to custom sense 5 roms in due course.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
While there's obviously no NEED, a lot of people will prefer to flash ROMs for a variety of different reasons.

I'd say the main reasons are;

*The ability to have a pure AOSP look which is preferred by a lot of people (especially those who come from a Nexus device). Also, a lot of people don't like the look/feel of Sense and will therefore want to change the UI to something which is more preferable to them.

I, for example, have never tried Sense before and could quite possibly hate it once I finally test it. On the flip side of that, I may love it but at least custom ROMs will give me the ability to completely change the UI whilst giving me a ton more customizations and optimizations than a custom launcher would do.

*As mentioned at the end of the first reason, customization is a huge part of what a lot of people do with their devices. For example, when I had my SGS2 I used to love the ability to flash a simple ROM and have a ton of customization at my fingertips, so I could edit the look of my phone to my hearts content.

*Some people are simply flashaholics and have ORD (Obsessive ROM-flashing/updating Disorder). I'll normally flash every ROM in sight if the device is new and there aren't many ROMs available yet. This way it gives me a good early decision as to what type of ROM I'd prefer on said device. However, once the device starts getting more development and more ROMs start appearing in quick succession, I'll then make my mind up about which ROM to choose and generally won't change ROM for the vast majority of the devices lifetime.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tetsumi06:
I unlocked, rooted and flashed now because in a few months time the phone will be setup perfectly; all the right apps, all the right data, all in the right place (and HTC might of discovered a way to do a Sensation on us (S-Off))

With the phone rooted I can be relatively confident of getting it back to my currently backed up state after any major updates (and, when I finally install some games, get their progress restored as well)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharkan:
Sense means HTC. I don't see any reason to buy HTC if I'm not gonna use sense.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Because HTC makes great hardware. I buy HTC exclusively, but I rip sense off it ASAP and put AOKP or CM or something without sense. Nexus devices are generally not top of the line hardware, they're supposed to be a benchmark for development (i.e. midrange). That said, N4 has more impressive specs than usual, but I can't imagine buying an LG phone. I have never realized LG even made smartphones, only flip phones until the N4 was released.

Still, HTC makes best hardware, I just generally don't like sense. That said, sense 5 does look interesting.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcismo55:
Having options is nice!

To a certain extent, yes, I agree with you on that statement. However, sometimes you just need a change and it is nice to have the option of running AOSP roms as well. I would much rather go back and forth between Sense/AOSP than TouchWiz/AOSP after having my GS3.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajftl:
No. Roms are for old devices. Lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbenny1:
sense 5 deserves a chance - for me it is the best version by a long LONG way.

i never really liked sense prior to 5 either, the worse thing was the tacky 3D and bloatware, but both of those are completely gone - the "bloat" this time are genuinely useful

[HTC One X] STk3000:
Hey there.

I'm planning to trade my sensation for the one x. I have some questions.

What does the SD tag stand for, in the name of the ROMS?

What general knowledge can you pass on for me? I plan to root this, heard of the battery and bootloader bug (cannot charge in custom recovery or bootloader)

What general bugs are there for the one x with most of the roms?

How is 4.2.2 and CM going with development? - most roms I saw are sense.

How is driver porting/will htc release relevant kernel sources to keep development going?

Is it true that no S-off method has been devised yet, so you are stuck with just unlocked bootloader?

Thank you for your time.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
1. I've never seen any SD tag...

2. ROM support is pretty solid, only thing bothering is the lack of S-OFF

3. You can charge in custom recovery and when the phone is powered off.

4. Sense ROMs are quite bugless since they're based on original firmware.

On AOSP major problems are:

Non functional MHL tv out

No bluetooth tether

In call volume adjustment in speaker mode broken

5. There's at least 3 different 4.2.2 ROMs in active development. Fully working except for the bugs described above.

6. HTC releases proper sources but they mostly come two-three months later than the ota release.

7. True.

Does the HTC one have hd voice calls?

Anyone any idea
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvibes:
It's got sense voice which is kinda like hd voice calls I guess. Also has to microphones so a dual membrane layout for noise cancellation and to help record better audio in videos.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhumanderelict:
Sense is just a UI overlay for Android; it doesn't really have anything to do with HD voice. The noise cancellation from the dual microphones that you mentioned is more for the benefit of the person on the other end of the call and probably wouldn't help him hear his wife much (unless she also had the HTC One or another HD Voice-equipped phone).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wideband_audio

The service provider also needs to support it. It's possible that it was HD voice as 3 launched it in May of 2011.
