i9000 with ICS problems.

Guys,
I've been using an SGS, followed by an SGS 2 and have always used custom ROMs without any issues in the past. I have recently traded the SGS 2 with a friend for my old blu-ray player and an old SGS. Long story, won't go into why.
No matter which build of ICS I am using, I am getting serious problems with this phone. SlimICS does not find a signal at all, it just says no service. On the one I am running at the moment (4.0.4 GTi9000_IMM30B_BETA_8_RC) and also with the nightly CyanogenMod builds, if I take or make a phone call, everything is fine. When I next go to make a call, the earpiece does not become active. The data and normal network connection is still active, but this renders the phone almost useless - having to reboot the phone every time I wish to make a phone call takes as long as sending an email for me!
Also, I should be able to choose Tmobile Orange as my network service as I am with T-mobile, who is partnered with Orange to give better signal. On the ROM I currently use, "Tmobile Orange" is not a selectable network.
Is this a problem I can resolve by flashing with a different modem?
If I can't fix this I will probably just run over the phone and buy a Nokia Lumia (change does wonder for a headache!)
Any help is appreciated.

Did you flash a modem after flashing slim? If not they are here

Yes I've actually used the JVU one from it and I also tried using Odin to flash it manually using the modem I am able to get Tmobile Orange with at the moment on Gingerbread - neither work.
Is there a specific modem I need to use in the UK to get this reception?

Go to samfirmware and see which it is under your section. Ex my download is called something like ""XX-KG3. Which means my modem is KG3.

I am getting nothing from the Checker page when I type in the details I have.
Like I said, I know it is JVU firmware I have because I've manually flashed it and it works perfectly, but when I install SlimICS it simply does NOT pick up a signal at all, even if I flash it with a radio seperately afterwards.

No signal
I installed Slim JB yesterday and no signal at all.
I tried JPG and JPU modems from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783 but no avail.
Still no signal. I am going to try with other sims and even other roms to asses my problem.

Just to let you know: installed JVU, turn airplane mode on and them off and singla is back.
Not sure, yet, about 3G and the other stuff. Still testing...

[SOLVED] No radio after rooting, tmobile USA

Hello,
Trying to get my new mb525 setup. Got it last night and everything worked well as far as the radio, able to get 3G with decent connection speed.
After rooting and installing CM10 (quarx) I'm not getting anything on the network, no 2g, no 3g, and just "emergency calls only". Thought it might be the tmobile sim card, but tried others and still no luck. Put in an old AT&T sim card and got a connection, so seems that there is something wrong with the radio itself, at least for the frequencies I need, but for GSM I'd think there wouldnt be any problem since all the radios are quad band GSM, right?
I've tried using standalone Baseband Switcher, as well as the one built into CM with no luck. I also tried the 3G fixes, replacing the files in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default with those in freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip.
Baseband is at EPU93_U_00.60.03, and I know it has previously had JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf flashed onto it. Have rebooted, reflashed, wided dalvik/cache/system quite a few times since last night, with no luck.
Is there a solution for this? I would appreciate any insight.
Thank you,

Anybody?
Has anyone ever had similar problems and been able to fix it? After searching a bit I've found threats of others with the problem, but seems no one has ever posted a real solution

Yes, I've tried both the signed kernels here http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/, that were linked from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647.

So following up on this.
I flashed the JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz sbf file, Tmobile base, as a start. No signal. Pulled the official OTA update, still no signal. This puts baseband version at epu93_U_00.58.00, and kernel at 2.6.32.9-g8431013.
Rooted with Gingerbreak and installed Baseband switcher, have tried each of the 3 TMobile bands and still no signal.
At this point I've largely given up on getting this to work for me, but now I just want to understand why it doesn't. Is there something that controls the radio that wouldn't be taken care of by flashing and SBF? Is there anything that controls radio frequencies/firmware besides this, and is there any way to determine what frequencies a current radio firmware supports?
Does anyone have a working tmobile nandroid backup that I could compare with this?
Seems unlikely, but is it possible that this is a hardware issue that just happened to occur while I was initially putting on CM10?
I realize this is a wall of questions, so thanks for reading this far

Last update.
Success, I'm a dumbass. I finally realized that the baseband I was selecting wasn't for the network I was trying to connect to, it was for the radio hardware! One of the Chinese firmwares, ME722 1.0 was perfect for me, and seems to support more than just the bands listed in CM. Says 850/1900/2100, but I'm getting nice HSPA speeds on tmobile, which is in the 1700 mhz band, so great stuff.
Hope this helps someone else, and saves them a few hours.

T-Mobile USA and Older radios problem!

We all know that after updating to 4.2.2 via OTA and the new radio .48 the LTE is disabled.Some users have flashed older radios .27 and .33 and were successful enabling LTE again on our devices! However most of T-Mobile USA users(including myself) are NOT able to get older radios work on stock rooted 4.2.2! After flashing older radios you have usable data connection but no audio in call! I`m not able to hear anything when connected to a call! So far I have tried:
1.Flashing .27 radio and installing the RIL for 4.2.1= no audio in call
2. Flashing .33 radio and installing the RIL for 4.2.1= no audio in call
If anyone has been successful getting it work on T-Mobile USA, please share your steps and methods to achieve that!
Thanks

I had the same issue. .33 screwed up my phone. I couldn't hear anything from the earpiece. Unfortunately I found the reason why and .48 fixed the problem. Anyways, which city do you live in that has LTE from T-Mobile? There are very very few LTE coverage in USA from t mobile. It would be pointless to enable lte if you do not live in a lte coverage area. I don't know why .33 won't work on 4.2.1. It should work.

I live in Boston. I don`t know if LTE is live yet, but I just wanted to try and see. But older radios don`t work....Have you tried older radios+custom roms?

I don't think it would matter if the phone was running on a custom rom with a old baseband. Basebands, bootloaders, kernels and roms are kinda like their own thing, y'know.

Same thing happened to me, had to go back to .48

That's not exactly right though... The kernel controls the radio(baseband)

If you want a solid ROM that works with the old radio use CM10.1 Nightlies . It works great with both radios.

Yeah, I guess we have to jump to custom roms whenever LTE is live in Boston....

bump! Maybe a Dev can give us some more info on that matter???

I've seen the LTE APN setup in the switch as fast.Tmobile.com . I'm thinking you need that for it to work once it's turned on

Flashed .33 too and had no sound. Had to flash back 48
On Tmobile USA too

I flashed Dark Jelly n4 with the .33 radio and it works fine coming from the .48 on t-mobile. (I was on stock originally then got the update)
No problem here but i am using the franco kernel if it matters.

ANY STOCK 4.2.2 Rom With LTE Band 4 Enabled?

The option for LTE in phone information was disabled in 4.2.2
Is there anyone working on a stock 4.2.2 rom with LTE Enabled?
Me and a few of my friends are looking for this for our phones
otherwise were forced to downgrading back to 4.2.1

Sorry I didnt notice where I was posting this, hopefully this is moved to >>> Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Also would flashing the radio from 4.2.1 enable it?

i think it is more of a radio thing. if you use either .27 or .33 radios then you can access the LTE. i did have a problem with paranoidandroid on tmobile where both of those radios would work and give me LTE but i lost audio in call. i am now running trailblazerz11 rom with .27 radio and i have audio in call and LTE.

[Q] Only getting 1.5mb internet speeds on 12mb

Hi,
This is an odd one.
I get 12mb download speeds on my home wifi if i do a test from my laptop or girlfriends iphone. If I do the test on my Nexus i only get about 1.5mb.
If I reboot the router (Draytek) I get the full 12mb again for a few hours then it drops right back down to 1.5mb.
Now I know you are all thinking straight away its the router but I have recently changed this from a Linksy router to the draytek and had the same problem with that one, so it would appear it is my Nexus.
I am running PA with the latest Kernal for it.
Any ideas or help?

In "About Phone" look for baseband (a.k.a. radio) version. But be careful, if you are using Jelly Bean ROM, your radio should be 0.84. If KitKat ROM, then the radio should be .97 or .98. Don't flash 97 or 98 on Jelly Bean ROM !!!

Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Also did you test your phone in different area because it depends on where you are compared to the cell signal tower.

I found this information on Google's support forum:
I can hereby confirm that flashing back the radio from M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84 (default for 4.3) to M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48 (default for 4.2.2), whilst keeping the rest of 4.3, did NOT fix the wifi speed and connectivity problems on my phone.
I then proceeded to downgrade completely to 4.2.2 using the Google-supplied factory images, and I'm now getting 44 Mbit/s down and 5 Mbit/s up via 802.11n, where on 4.3 with either of the two radios, I couldn't even reliably finish the test (it would stop halfway, with the download speed estimated at 7 Mbit/s). Besides that, I've now been able to update tons of apps from Play, where with 4.3 this was not possible with either of the radios.
Just in case someone finds this, the version of Android on this Nexus 4 causing endless wifi problems is:
* Android 4.3
* baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84
* kernel 3.4.0-perf-gf43c3d9, 2013-06-17
* build number JWR66V
The version working well is:
* Android 4.2.2
* baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48
* kernel 3.4.0-perf-g7ce11cd, 2013-01-29
* build number JDQ39

You should use a different radio. I'd recommend the hybrid radios 33/84. Uses .33 radio for connections such as WiFi and data, whereas .84 radio is used for calls.

I am going to give you the best info you're likely going to get as I suffer the same problem.
Don't reset you're rooter switch wifi on and off on the phone as it achieves the same results.
After a while of doing this it will improve the duration it locks on to fast wifi.
Also I think relocking the bootloader helps WHY I haven't a clue.
All I know is I have the same problem with the newest and fastest wifi available in my area and after trying everything flashable, settings in wifi and even patching my wifi from roms with my wifi working the results are.
1 go back to a stock 4.3 rom.
2 try what I suggested.

Just asking, but are you sure you didn't confuse MByte/s with Mbit/s? (Notice the lower and upper case B )
It would make sense as 12Mbit/s are 1.5MByte/s.

Ok guys, just so you know, Radio/Baseband has nothing to do with your WiFi connectivity or the transfers speeds you are getting on WiFi. All WiFi modules, drivers are present in the Kernel and NOT the modem/baseband. Hope this gives you clarity and prevent waste of your time fiddling with the modem to solve WiFi issues!!

Flashed enough radio basebands and pulled enough files from the system to know where both live. I am talking about interference something causing the wifi to drop suddenly as if the network is strangled (but its not) there's a few phones that suffer the same problems as I have read all there posts.
It's something causing it to drop turning it on and off helps for a short time in my case about 3mins tops.
It could be anything I just find it a little strange that on a custom rom any soap ,cm and custom stocks this happens but not on a Google image. So something strange is happening who knows. Just wish I did.

Is Nexus 4 getting wireless speed over 2.4mb/s?
This is the maximum that I can see at transferring of files to PC on same network.
I can't have it locked over 54mbps at settings of wireless.
