Hello Dude, yesterday I flash my Defy from Brazil using your ROM and it's work great, but the 3g doesn't, so I appreciate if you can show me how we can use that!!!Like a tutorial you know...:)

Thanks and great work!!!

You place the zip in the root folder of the sdcard, then reboot into Custom recovery and "apply zip from SD card", then reboot.

hi,

please help me in getting a fix for india...we have networks working at a frequency 900-1800 Mhz.....would be a great help as i am having reduced battery backup due to using non matching 3g fix.....

thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
Hello priyansh17,

In France by default we are using 900/1800 on our network and 3G is working strait from a flash of a Pays or Adlx mod...

Are you sure you need a fix once rom/mod reflashed ?

Best regards,

Kribou

I managed to pull out radio from my nandroid backup of stock rom and prepare fix for 900-1800 Mhz GSM networks.....this is for South East Asia (SEA Roms)......esp. in India...

Hope it works for you as well...

Flashed the Central European 2.34 SBF and then fixed the US Tmo 3G with the files provided. Never saw the H icon before flashing, but now i see it all the time. Thanks a lot!
[Defy Android Development] no clue:
Just curious, why would you need to pull 900-1800mhz GSM network for a quadband phone?

If you are referring to 3G frequency, then, I think you might want to check this site?

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
On my Milestone I experienced that even GSM/EDGE was degraded if I had the wrong radio files installed for my hardware. This is probably also true for the Defy. i don't know specifically why, seeing as all the models already have quadband GSM, but it could just be that different chips are optimized for different software.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
For the moment I would say India only because the Defy I bought in Thailand runs great with the Chinese 850-2100 fix. This also fixed 2G reception.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Thanks, I've added it to the first post,

I've also added a radio files from Vodafone:

I flashed PAYS rom and then the US tmo file here, still not getting 3g. What now? Says mobile network service is disconnected. Ive tried toggling airplane mode, no luck.
[Defy Android Development] chaichaoyi:
Hi a dumb question:

In recovery mode, the only relevent option is :"apply sdcard: update.zip"

Does this mean that I should download the file and rename it to "update.zip"? I've tried this way, it doesn't work, saying signature verification failed.

So how should really apply that US zipfile?

Thank you!!

Thank you alot!

My Defy was unable to get cellular signal, not to mention Internet connection (yes, my Defy was totally screwed up after I flashed 2.2 UK ROM :( )

Applying the zip file does bring back the cellular signal (4/5 bar), but Internet connection is still unavailable.

According to prior posts, the file works perfectly for others. I wonder whether it is because that my ROM is now 2.2.1 , that the file does not completely solved my problem???

Anyway, at least you helped me bring back the basic functions of my Defy (making/receiving calls), thank you so much!

You may need to setup the APN manually.

[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
I would like to understand, if someone has the answer. For example a quadband Nokia will work everywhere on all freq with 3G (Where it is available)...

Some are reporting non working phone without good radio files, not only degradeed...whereas the hard is capable :/

Why do we need extra fix for devices that are all band compatible ? I am traveling a bit and recently my phone was not able to work on another operator band...I was able to find the available operator but I was only staying in an 'Urgent Call' state.

How does work such a fix when you are roaming ? WikiLink

Normally there is only one difference, in terms of hardware, between W/CDMA and HSPA...

Thanks for any clue.

[Defy Android Development] :
Most phones, including the Defy, have a quad-band GSM (2G) and a dual-band UMTS (3G) radio.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
True. The detail of available basebands usually appears on Motorola site in the phone specs page (previously select the country you're interested in). For example, for Chinese Defy, we can see these specs:

频率 WCDMA: 850/2100 HSDPA 7.2 Mbps; GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 GPRS; Edge Class 12

The phone is 4-band GSM and 2-band wcdma, the 2 bands being 850/2100MHz. This info is very relevant when evaluating roaming and switching to other carrier...

[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
Thanks ADLX !

I checked the network specs of different countries on the Motorola site. link (You can change your location at the top)

Here are the main specs, the GSM part should always be the same, only the WCDMA is changing. We can better understand what is needed for what country.

UK model:

WCDMA 900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Category 7/8), EDGE Class 12, GPRS Class 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps

French model:

WCDMA 900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Category 7/8), EDGE Class 12, GPRS Class 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps

Italy:

WCDMA 850/1700/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Categoria 7/8), EDGE Classe 12, GPRS Classe 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps, eCompass/aGPS

Brazil:

WCDMA 850/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 2.0Mbps, EDGE Classe 12, GPRS Classe 12, eCompass/aGPS

USA model:

WCDMA 850/1700/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Category 7/8), EDGE Class 12, GPRS Class 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps, eCompass/aGPS

China model:

Just applied the Spanish fix for this as Speed Test showed my phone as never downloading at more than 128k. This has made no difference, though I think the phone seems a little faster in downloading web pages. Could the problem be with Speed Test?
[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
For spain spec, we can find (Standard for Europe):

UMTS 900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Categoría 7/8), EDGE Tipo 12, GPRS Tipo 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps, eCompass/aGPS

So, if your applying a UK nandroid backup or any rom based on UK version, you shouldn't have to apply any fix...especially for Spain.

Is your speed the same everywhere ? There is maybe a limitation where you are testing..

cheers,

Kribou
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
The Motorola website shows Spain as having the Spanish spec as the same as the Italian above. I flashed the Spanish fix above and it seems to have made my battery life better, but hasn't sorted out the speed problem. I do think it might be a problem with the test not showing the true speed. It feels fast enough.

Any hope for me?

Hi All,

I live in Brazil as well, and, like Rodragon, my carrier here broadcasts its 3G services in the 850MHz band. My particular case is that I won a britsh Defy, whose FCC ID is IHDP56LC4, and, of course, I'm able to pick, at most, EDGE. Any chances for me to, some day, see 3G@850MHz working on my Defy?

Thanks, anyway.

If the hardware doesn't match the frequencies you need, sorry, it won't work.

If you'd like to try anyway, you could choose one of the 3G fixes that includes 850 and go wild. You probably won't see any change though. (But please report back here if you do!) You may even see worse EDGE performance unless you flash the correct 3G fix files for your hardware.

Ummm... I don't have a 3G SIM to test it... Can I use logcat to check it out? Maybe I can pull an USB cable to test it later...

There is no 900/1700/2100 version. The T-Mo US phone has 850/1700/2100. And you will *only* get the bands that your hardware actually supports.

[Defy Android Development] Raccroc:
Thank you, but are you sure?

I guess my concern is that it is my understanding T-Mobile uses 850/2100 while AT&T uses 850/1900. Are there tweaks used by, for example, Argentina which also uses the 1900 range that would make it a poor choice and make T-Mobile a better one? Just trying to understand...
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
Yes I am sure. The radio hardware of the T-Mobile USA 850/AWS/2100 phone is different from the radio hardware of the Argentina 850/1900 version. Your phone does not support the 1900 3G band, no matter what; the only 3G it can get on AT&T will be on 850, and the best performance will be with the correct 3G files.

If you try and flash the Argentina 850/1900 3G fix to the T-Mobile USA phone, you will just get a phone that has an incorrect match between the hardware and the radio firmware. You will probably see degraded performance on both 3G and EDGE as a result. The only baseband files you should put on your phone are the ones that match its hardware.

On my Thai Defy I installed the Chinese 3G fix to enable 900 MHz 2G networks. Without the fix only 1800 MHz 2G and both 850 MHz and 2100 MHz 3G networks worked. Is there however a way to enable 900 MHz 3G without losing 900 MHz 2G reception? Or is this simply not possible on a phone not made for 3G at 900 MHz?
[Defy Android Development] :
afaik you can't enable 850mhz on 900mhz devices, and vice versa, it's a hardware difference, not a software one.

2g and 3g are different matter. a phone may support quad-band gsm (2g) but only dual-band 3g.

And so i have to refresh the apn to get my 3g back everytime.
