[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eman Leerton:
Hello all, I just bought a Defy mb525 green lens off amazon. I'm in the United States and my sim card is from T-mobile. The phone is from south american (not sure which country)

With the stock rom everything worked fine.. but after i installed cm10 all i got was emergency calls only. I tried all the T-mobil basebands.. as well as every other baseband.. not once did i ever get a signal of any kind.. at one point my phone detected at&t but still had no signal..

I then tried cm7 but had the same result..

I then tried stock cee just to settle on something that works but got rid of blur.. but still had no signal..

If you live in the United States and are on t-mobile wat baseband do you use? Could the issue be with different hardware due to the phone being made for south America? (although with the stock rom i have a great signal) Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated..

Thanks in advance,

Eman

Baseband troubles with Defy MB525 - partial solution - and questions

I have a similar issue with a Defy MB525 that I bought as a refurb from Amazon just a couple of weeks ago.

When I received it, it seemed to be set up with Spanish as it's primary language...

Anyhow I reflashed it with a motorola sbf file that allegedly was for Tmobile USA and had Android 2.2.

Then I rooted it and loaded up CyangenMod 7.2...

I have a SIM from Lycamobile USA, which rides on the Tmobile network.

Before fiddling with the various baseband selections available via CM7.2 I could not make any calls

Phone info, baseband version:EPU93_U_00.59.01

Partial solution.

Tried all of the TMobile/USA baseband settings - no joy.

In desparation tried some of the SouthAmerican settings and the Asian settings...

The best of the lot seems to be Asia/China/ME722 1.10 850/1900/2100

Which works okay and gets an "all bars" signal for me - for Voice and Edge data.

I suspect this setting works because T-Mobile operates Voice and Edge on 1900Mhz in my area.

Also, in some areas, I get "emergency call only", which is probably on the 850 band that belongs to AT&T.

Problem

I don't get any 3G service. That's probably because, as I understand it, 3G for t-mobile is using 1700/2100 (up/down or vice-versa)

and my radio isn't set up to use the 1700 Mhz band.

Question

Can I fix this with a reflash of firmware - to exploit "quad" band operation 850/1700/1900/2100? Which are all in use by Tmobile and/or AT&T in the USA, according to various Wikipedia articles.

If so, which firmware should I load?

If not, is this a hardware limitation of the Defy MB525? Some builds/versions? Or all versions/builds? :confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antiga Prime:
I use the Colombian frequencies, better battery life than Chinese. But yeah, occasionally on some stock builds I wouldn't get any signal. If you're in South America, try using the Retail ROM for Latin America. More specifically "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_108-2_R02_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25RETLALA01F.0R_JORLAFRORETLALA_P008_A005_M001_HWp3_WIG147146_Service1FF", which is the one I'm on now.

And no, in most countries you won't get 3g, since this is a hardware issue. I get 3G in Ecuador, but that is only because Movistar here uses 850mhz band for UMTS. Another option would be to sell your Defy and find a Argentina Personal Defy which uses 800/1900, or buy a European Defy that uses 900/2100, since I think in almost every South American country there is at least one carrier that uses those frequencies.

But T-Mobile's defy in South America, as far as I know, will only get you 3G in Ecuador.

EDIT: Misunderstood the post, wasn't paying attention :D, but my point is still valid. It's a hardware issue.

Update - MB525 Tmobile Melrose MA seeing HSPA

I'm visiting Melrose MA today and I'm seeing an HSPA signal! Still with the "China" settings...

Speedtest.net says I got:

Date,ConnType,Lat,Lon,Download,Upload,Latency,ServerName,InternalIp,ExternalIp
"2013-06-21 15:32","Hspa","42.45245","-71.06685",1388,988,282,"Boston, MA","10.230.130.121","83.137.2.146"
"2013-06-20 07:49","Edge","41.33962","-73.37708",198,112,467,"Secaucus, NJ","10.230.142.199","83.137.2.147"

While the "Network Signal Info" app says I'm HSPA at 14.4 Mbps, I guess that's a max.

Soo... this is good, but I'm still curious -- how can I determine which band(s) the radio is operating on?

According to Wikipedia, T-mobile runs HSPA on the 1900Mhz band in some areas and 1700/2100 in others...

Since I set my radio to 850/1900/2100 - my first guess is I've wandered into a 1900/1900 HSPA zone...

My connection is to CID13693382 / LAC 36498 MCC-MNC 310-260 Is there a database where I can find out what frequencies are assigned to this cell tower for T-mobile? Lots of location/map services - but I didn't find any info about baseband allocations in this area...

Hmmm... Let's try switching the baseband to the T-mobile USA 6.x settings...

Same result as in CT, no service, no joy ;-(

Do the T-Mobile USA settings work for anyone watching this board?
[Acer Iconia A500] sagemaster2000:
OMG I am SUCH AN IDIOT!! And now I've gotten myself into a real jam here.

-Acer A500, official ICS 4.0.3.

-Broken Rotation Swtich

-Missing MICROSD Card but can get a blank one.

Little old smart me tried to be cute and change the build.prop in attempt to get a non-supported app to work....I made a backup of the original INTERNALLY....didnt know what the hell I was really doing, rebooted the tablet and now I get a blank black screen after the acer logo. Tried to go into recovery but since I have no SD card I get the dead Android with a Red Exclamation point.

Can't try factory reset method because the rotation switch is broken!!

I just wanna get this thing back to WORKING condition.

I did some research and tried doing all of these things but couldn't proceed since I do not have the CUID and get find a way to get it in this situation since my sis-in-law came to visit a few days ago and she found this tablet.

I need some serious help to get this working ASAP.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
You probably don't want to hear this, but I think that without the CUID, you are hosed. I might be wrong and that is only necessary for unlocking the bootloader, but I know that I have read a ton of posts that mention you should write your CUID down and put it somewhere safe.
[Acer Iconia A500] sagemaster2000:
Thanks for the consideration. Being that all I did was change the build.prop and not end up with my situation by screwing up a ROM install or something along those lines, I was able to recover by downloading the latest update a D putting that update.zip onto a fresh sd card and booting into recovery.

Recovered with no issues and even no data loss!
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Glad you got it worked out.

I Just charged my phone to 100% and unplugged it. It's already dropped 5%. Is this bad? I'm not rooted, stock, and running nova launcher prime. My battery temp right now is 34.6c. My brightness level is only halfway too. I have all the fancy crap turned off. Only stuff on is wifi and data. I have disabled probably 20 or so bloatware apps as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fafaffy:
I'd say this is normal. Just make sure you keep your brightness down, and turn on Power Saver and you should notice a dramatic increase in battery life.

Power Saver will throttle your CPU, but for me, everything still runs butter smooth and haven't noticed any lag, I actually forget my CPU is being throttled. Phones are becoming too fast too quickly.... Just 2 years ago a single core 700 MHz phone was "fast"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
Thanks for the input. I didn't charge it since those last screen shots. Been using it for 5 hours straight playing music, testing apps etc. Here's my results. Everything look okay? I have the capacitive button lights on and they vibrate. Also, screen brightness a little over half the whole time.

With heavy use, I believe this is fairly normal. It can last 1-2 days with more moderate use, though.

The great thing about Android is that it shows you whats eating up your battery. Turn your brightness down or at least turn your screen timeout shorter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
I'm actually very happy with the battery bcuz it charges insanely fast. It seems like when I'm at 1% and i put it in, I check on it 30 mins later and it's like 60%. Even my car charger charges it real fast.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illsellyoursoul:
Have been using this (MIUI v5 Nexus 4 · [3.6.15] - Updated [June 16, 2013] Working LTE) for the past few days and all was fine... till all of a sudden I got a call and could not hear the caller... I thought it was the no audio/tmobile issue, but all was fine before? Now I come to find out that I have no audio at all and videos/music files play as if they are in fast forward (with no audio).

I tried backups to this rom and others and the problem persists. Tried reflashing back to this and to others and the problem is still there, absolutely no audio and fast video/music playback. Anyone has any idea what I triggered and how it can be fixed?

I just finished restoring back to stock and still no audio/fast video playback. Has anyone experienced this... or is this phone a gonner.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Did you make sure to wipe /system /data etc when you went back to restore?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
I'm looking for a way to get my phone back to a stock state, I don't care if it's unrooted in the process, I just want a fresh OTA capable stock rom. I have a couple PD15 images, and they flash in the boot loader, however, after trying to boot, it just stays stuck at the mytouch startup screen.

I'm looking at the tutorials found here, but none seem to be working. What exactly do I need to do?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymeatb18:
Well do u still have a custom recovery or s-off

I have the completly stock rooted ROM 2.3.4 no ota after that
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
I'm using the PD15 images from here: https://www.4shared.com/folder/xDsyJF52/_online.html

I used the HTCDev unlock method. I have S-On

My issue is, is i want the official HTC kernel that comes with the latest stock rom. I cant find it to flash anywhere. So I'm trying to just go back to the regular rom, probably selling this phone soon anyway.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymeatb18:
Son=T-Mobile

soff= the world

You can sell it for more with soff and rooted anyways the ROM I have has the stock kernel its completely stock just rooted
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
are yuo trying to flash a gingerbread stock or a froyo stock rom? which PD15IMG.zip files are you using? did you download the stock rom yourself and then rename it to PD15IMG.zip? are you sure your using the correct radio version .img as well? if all that is correct and youre still having trouble then you could try flashing the stock rom via fastboot mode

rename the rom to StockRom.zip (spelled exactly) then connect your phone in fastboot mode, then in the terminal enter fastboot oem rebootRUU it should then reboot into a black screen with a silver htc logo on it

make sure your StockRom.zip is in the same directory as your fastboot executable and run fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip

if it doesnt finish flashing or tells you to repeat the flash just re enter the command and it will work. then fastboot reboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
I was doing all of the above, except checking the radio version and the fastboot oem rebootRUU! That could be it, thanks for that. I'll check it out and report back when I get some time.

I'm interested in your kernel that you are using actually, shoot me a PM or something if you feel like providing me links to download :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
So i tried the rebootRUU method, and still nothing (it says it works fine but will just hang at the white mytouch screen). I'm on HBOOT 0.89.0007 and RADIO 26.13.04.19_M

I'm trying to flash both the 2.3.4 before and the latest updated 2.3.4 stock rom.

Wish i could figure this out! Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
try to flash the stock froyo rom first.

http://d-h.st/ytv59wps2wzc heres a link to the PD15IMG.zip make sure the spelling is exactly like that all upper case except for the file extention .zip. and make sure its on the root of your sd card when you reboot into bootloader. the file shoild be about 312megs in size.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
Tried, still stuck at the splash screen. I used HTCDev unlock originally with this phone, does that mean I also have to manually flash the boot.img from these zip's as well?

I'm obviously missing some step.

I hope this is not a double post. Rom looks good. Themes are great, but I cannot make Apex my default launcher, Poweramp does not see my 64gb card but it's mounted and other file apps see the card. 3minit settings work and that's a plus but the Apex and Poweramp are my issues so far. Maybe an easy fix for someone, but I'm old ya know...
