I haven't experienced any problems with 1.40, 1.41 or 1.43
But I was just wondering which do you all prefer?

The official Rogers radio version is 1.42.00.00 (i.e. this is what is on the TyTN's that they are now selling). I am using 1.40.30.00 and it is working well for me. Did not bother trying 1.43.00.00 since many North American users appeared to be having problems with it, leading me to believe that it has been tweaked for European users.

I'm using 1.41.00.10 with no problems, though I am using it voice only (no data -- Rogers can go screw themselves with their ridiculous prices /rant off).
Are the majority of problems people having with different radios more on the voice or data side of things, or is that somewhat irrelevant?
I'm using 1.41 on Rogers. I don't use 3G often, mostly just EDGE and voice. Battery only gets me through a day, but besides that, I don't have any voice quality\dropped call issues, data is stable and fast, all is good.

I have had 1.43.00.00 since it was released, no issue's nor have I had any issues with 1.41 or 1.40.
Rogers doesn't seam to have the issues that some of the UK and US systems are having. My guess is that there are fewer providers in Canada and less radio traffic to compete with and more concentrated towers for many areas.
messaging not working now
had sucesssfully upgraded to latest rom by black shodow, with radio 1.43, now messaging is not working, is it bec of radio.
Could somebody kindly point me to the right direction regarding any Roger's roms? I've done a search but came up with nothing
I'm using 1.47 on Rogers w/BBConnect WM5. All seems good. However, my area doesn't have 3G so I don't know how it performs in that aspect.
not worth a change, really
I had original 1.42 for a while. it worked great- got 3g in toronto (even had it in Barrie for a day during testing.)
wifi was good, and battery life was as good as expected.
I'm currently running 1.47, and I don't really notice that much of a difference. 3g seems faster, and WiFi definitely is, but I also flashed a new Rom and updated the wifi drivers too. MMS also works, but to be fair, I never tried it before.
In all, not a huge difference.
Be sure to use Lurch's cab file for setting the Rogers APN/MMS setup info- it's flawless.

I'm using 1.41.00.10 on Rogers network.
I use voice and data (BB Connect + VPN).
No problems.
1.43 on all 5 of our Hermes phones since it's release and had no problems in Toronto.
We use them heavily with Data and since we're in TO we get 3G signals in most places - and I'm very impressed with battery life.
I have experienced problems with 1.46 and 1.47 not being able to receive calls while the device is active, but only a handful of others on this forum have reported the same problems, so maybe I just got 5 bad in a row.
using 1.41 in Montreal (voice only, we know how much data cost in Canada), good reception, battery last long.
I am using 1.47 after usimg 1.43. anyone else think it eays the battery a lot quicker?.
Matt
I am in the GTA and have been using 1.43 since it was released with no issues with voice or data. I was going to switch to 1.47 until I read Aoshi_'s post....now I am debating it... .

I am using original Radio ROM (1.16.00.00) still did not flashed it...i just received the handset yesterday. So my question is: Why i can't get EDGE? I get only GPRS (since there is no 3G HSDPA here) I know we got EDGE coverage here and the specifications of the phone says EDGE class 10, Please would you tell me if i am not using the good radio version?
Answer: not sure, maybe it's from the ROM and it do not displays "E" even on EDGE network. Speed test proof: On Rogers GPRS/EDGE : 100 kilobits/sec (It's EDGE even indicates "G")
1.51.00.10

**so far been using 2 days
Battery seems to drain quick compared to 1.38. Very notible once using GPRS/Edge/HSPDA [gprs data seems quicker]
Signal strength is odd. Cell phone shows full strength Tytn shows 2 bars.
- Tytn shows no signal (cell phone shows full) yet when I make a call it is ok
Dropped calls: 2 (in a good area for reception)
1.51.00.10
o Battery life is short
o Missed calls
o gprs - no issues - seemed quick
Swapped to 1.43.00.00
o Battery life about the same as 1.38.00.00
o No missed calls yet - no signal drops
o GPRS seems frozen at times - required to turn off/flightmode and reactivate.
Right, a little back story.
I brought my SGS2 at the start of May in the UK on O2 so I have an early model which came with the firmware before KE1. I rooted in the first week and was flashing Villainrom 1.0 before too long with no data problems.
I think it was around KE2 with Lite'ning rom that I first saw my phone constantly switching between H & 3G and stalling when receiving or sending data. This behaviour has continued through all the firmwares I've tried with many different modems. I moved onto to Cognition when it was v1.01 and have been using it all the way unto 1.2 with the KG3 modem. Again still with data connecting problems.
Things I have tried -
Turning off fast dormacy
Editing the build.prop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097612&highlight=build.prop pages 1-5
Switching off HSDPA/HSUPA via the *#301279# command
Disabling juice defender
Switching to WCDMA only
Changing modems
Full hard reset and reflasing of roms
Even with the above on multiple roms and rom versions my data connection was unreliable at best and killing spree warranting at its worst.
Possible fix-
What i found lurking on XDA on a slow day at work was the command below
*#2263#
This allows you to select which bands your phone uses. I selected option 2 then tested the 4 available bands. They all resulted in a complete loss of reception except WCDMA 2100. this is probably network specific you'll need to try it yourselves.
The results and current settings
Now when I try to use my data connection the phone no longer switches between H & 3G. It will start on 3G then find H and stay there, I see a slight delay if its been in deep sleep or JD has cut the connect but this is normal for the phone to start on 3G to save power.
Fast dormacy - off
build.prop -stock/unedited (I found this worked for me for a while but since 2.3.4 it didnt seem to help)
HSDPA/HSUPA via the *#301279# command - both on
Juice defender - on
WCDMA only selected as when picking a band it doesn't seem to like having a GSM band selected as well (happy to be corrected on that)
Modem KG3 -
Rom cog 1.2 - I'm patiently waiting 1.4 based on KG6 to test my findings.
Conclusion-
Okay it could be that selecting a band does F'all and that I'm seeing better results for a completely different reason. I'm not a developer so my fixing skills amount to playing with stuff I don't fully understand and seeing how more or less broke I've made it.
After thought -
Ive seen on the sensation forum they have discussed the wrong IMEI code being the cause of poor data speeds so I may look into that next.
Please share your experiences and anything else you've tried.

That should be no connection as IMEI belongs to phone and handshakes with network first .
KG6 modem some report as better .
jje
I will have to give this a try and see how it works, thanks for the share.
I am in the same boat, it is VERY frustrating to say the least. A typical scenario for me is: reading a web page on my S2 for a good few minutes (3g has gone to sleep mode by the time I have finished reading), I click on a link, 3g flashes, H comes up and flashes once.....wait.....wait.......wait......10 seconds later it decides to initiate a connection and take me where I want to go! It does the same thing with the XDA app. I have been onto O2 about this a couple of weeks ago, all they did was give me the settings over the phone (which were the exact same ones I already had) and they also sent me a replacement sim card, suffice to say, there is no change. Now I am convinced its a network problem of some sort, I have a three sim card which I have been trying out and the above problems do not exist anymore when using three, I click a link after 3g has gone to sleep and it goes from 3g to H and initialises the data transfer in one smooth motion. It looks like I'll be getting my PAC code and moving to Three!
would be interested to hear if switching to the 2100 band helps at all seeing as your on O2 as well
Mine is O2 via Giffgaff and no problems at all .
Tested KG6 modem Wi|Fi only and it is a stronger signal .
jje
Yeah, forgot to mention that, I have just enabled it. I can't test at the moment though coz there is no 3G coverage where I am. The only problem with enabling it is you will not be able to connect to GPRS or Edge if you need to. But it is worth testing regardless.
Just been out and about and tried that setting, didn't make much difference unfortunately
Maybe it was a combination of tweaks on my end. What rom & modem are you using?

Villain 2.3 with KG3 modem. The problem has been the same whatever ROM I have used, I even flashed back to O2 stock a couple of weeks ago to see if it was a ROM problem, but that was the same. I can't remember what it was like when I first got the handset though, mine was the first batch as well.

hi
i am just testing now this fix. i have an o2 phone and i did the same changes you did, disable fast dormancy, changed build.prop settings, will let you know after going a few times underground ;-)
gabrio
confirm, this is working, even when i go underground or when the signal goes away, it gets back to H/H+ and works, gabrio
Give it a little while, I think you'll be back saying it didn't work
Personally, I went ahead with my threat and moved over to 3uk, never looked back since with this problem, been perfect!
I've tried it all. Disabled fast dormancy, hspa, toyed with band selection, edited build.prop (btw, don't bother with it, the network settings you find on the web to type in don't work on the s2) you name it - but it would still cut out. Luckily, my phone is unlocked so I switched my provider and now it works like a charm with all the bells and whistles enabled. I can ride the tram all across warsaw and maybe have a handful of 2-3 second hiccups when I'm listening to online radio. Curiously enough, on my previous provider I've noted that there are some areas (like a busy mall - Arkadia) where it would not stall as well as a few other places, and most other areas that were notorious with data hanging. I'm convinced now that it is an issue on the telco side (*cough*Orange*cough*), and too bad because I was on a prepaid plan with them that for roughly $30 I had 7GB of transfer. I guess they figured they can promise the world on their trash network, because nobody would actually use it up. YMMV.
Had this issue with a UK GS2 purchased from Negri using it on AT&T.
Since upgrading to the latest UK firmware with 2.3.4 I have not had the issue going on about 2 weeks now!
Man was that issue annoying. Had to restart the phone sometimes to get data back.
Joe
Ok I did that too though how abt lag? Phone lags a bit opening large sms conversations and browsing home screens.. But peace. Yours too?

Hi all i got a defy green lense and having signal problems.
I have been using cm7 and now cm7.2 since using non stock roms my signal has been playing up majorly.
Sometimes cant get a signal other times i'll get a signal but only hold for a while
Most annoying the signal "unlocks" when the screen locks and then takes ages to lock back in again.
3g problems too.
I have tried all the basebands and different sim cards and networks but still the same (ok when i put into another phone).
I have checked inside the phone (had to replace ear piece again) and nothing is broken or dirty.
i did read somewhere that it could be the radio files on the phone but i thought baseband swithcer did this?
Any help would be great as its getting annoying now also i noticed wifi locks out sometimes too when screen in locked?

WOW this prob just hit my phone this morning.
i went to sleep last night and everything was fine
woke up this morning and had no data and my defy says Emergencies calls only.
i tried putting my Sim into a g2 and works perfect. tried resetting the defy and changing the base band and nothing... only one that lets me make calls and gives me 2g is Australia base band. i even flashed a fresh sbf and im still having the same issues.
if anyone out there knows how to fix this issue please let me know i really need my 3g back.

I'm not too worried about the 3g it's more the annoyance of the signal cutting in and out.
Is there a way can change the radio files on the phone without using Baseband switcher so I know it's actually changed then and not looking at lots of files?

Tried the baseband already, put stock rom on and the signal is better nopt switching on and off so why does this happen on cm7 etc?
Just an update on this...
Flashed phone to cee deblur stock rom and signal was OK so worked out it must be a software rather than hardware issue.
So using the PC method I flashed the phone 3 times and wiped all the data each time.
After that the signal was still OK so I install 2ndinst and loaded cm9 cm9 kernel and gapps. Wiped data and the phone has been fine apart from 2 lock ups. I'm getting 3g and the signal is not being lost. After installing cm9 I also installed rom updater ,after 1st reboot it updated Android and now my camera green lenses works too not 100% quality but that's what my dslr is for! So for people getting the signal being lost abd no 3g problem try a stock rom a few times and wiping phone then custom rom worked for me!

Hello,
i have the same Problem with Defy+.
I have T-Mobile Germany.
I have tried all basebands, but when i lost the signal, then i dont get it the next one hour.
What ca i do?
Czech republic signal issue
Hi,
I have signal problems too - Vodafone CZ user. When I have no signal uderground - when I go down by escalator signal just disappears. Its verry annoying in case of using mobil tickets.
Im using WajkIUI™ ROM based on MiuiAndroid 2.3.7 (GB) on Defy+.
Have you any sollution for this?
Thank you
I have the same problem. There is no signal in underground or even in elevator! I checked it with cm7 and whiterabbit. I think it doesn't depend on rom. But I believe it's software problem.
Problem in Base Bands
I have problems when I switch to 850-1900 frequencies, the ones that works in America, Argentina.
I tried everything, differents roms, stock roms for Arg carrries. APN are correct, Baseband selector for Defy is correct, set to Americas, argentina,
I bough this phone from ebay, it seems to have been designed for UK Ireland according to motorola support, I haven't reached the UK support because they're currently closed.
When I am in 900-2100 Bands the phone works perfect EXCEPT for 3G, H Connections that don't work at all.
Is it possible that this phone has a different hardware ? I read that it may can be solved with a new Base Band for America but how do I go with this?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a weird problem on my Defy+ (Quarkx 0828, kernel 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e). Provider KPN (Netherlands)
This build is working fine except for one thing.
When I am at my office location I loose the ability to receive phone calls and make phone calls after about an hour.
On the home screen it looks like there is still coverage but no calls possible.
I'm pretty sure that it has to do something with the indoor GSM transmitters we have in the building. They are GSM/GPRS only and not really new. Of course many other Android users are using these indoor GSM transmitters without a problem for years.
On other locations I do not have this behavior.
When I was at stock Android 2.3.6 on the Defy+ there was no problem at this location.
The indoor transmitters are managed by my provider (KPN) to provide a better coverage in this building. Don't know brand/type of the indoor equipment but do know they are GSM/GPRS only (dated equipment).
The circumvention I use is to set my Defy+ to 2G only and the problem is not there anymore (I gain battery life :good: but need to switch to 3g manually when away from the building to get the speed back).
I'm using baseband Central europe 3.4.2-145.
I tried a few others but got the same results:
3.4.x does not work at all for me
2.5.1 Same result, after a while no phone calls
2.3.4 Same result, after a while no phone calls
France 3.4.1-164-5 Same result, after a while no phone calls
France 3.4.2-164- after restart the phone goes to flight mode. After a while no phone calls.
What can I do to get more information about what is happening to pinpoint this problem?
Is there specific logging which I can turn on?
Is there a specific baseband which can handle frequent switches between 2G/3G better?
Other suggestions?
Thanks!
Hade you tried basebandswitcher, try an older baseband like 2.34. 2g/3g works ok for me now.

Thanks Meares.
Unfortunately this baseband does not solve it.
I will test the other basebands (takes a while, can only do it at work where the indoor antenna's are at non-busy hours).
Will install the latest Quarks rom when it is not at the experimental level. Need my phone for work.
Installed Quarx 0912 CM10 and the behavior is different from CM10 0828.
At work with the 2G indoor GSM coverage with my Defy+ set to 3G the phone reboots after a while (instead of just stopping to receive calls or able to make calls). After reboot a have to re-enter my sim pin code (in the past I had reboots which skipped entering the pin-code) so there are different kinds of reboots.
With 0912 CM10 set to 2G there are no reboots and everything is stable with CM10 0912.
The behavior is different from CM10 0828 but did not find anything related to 2G/3G communication in the change log.
I understand this is an exotic problem and 'document' it here in case someone else has similar experience. Do not really expect a solution as you need the be at this specific location to experience it.
Two fellow workers with a Defy+ but with stock firmware never have 3G problems (they are waiting for me to solve it first before the want CM10....)
Today also a spontaneous reboot while driving in the car while using Sygic 12.1.2. Phone was set to 2G/3G.
Thanks
I've got some problems with mobile data on my Note 4. I've bought unbranded phone in shop unrelated to any mobile provider. It's Snapdragon version (N910F).
I've got prepaid service, without LTE available (if that's important). The problem is that every now and then mobile data simply stops. There is still H or H+ sign in notification bar, and upload arrow blinks. but when i try to open web page or send message through viber, wattsup it acts like there is no network. Then i have to wait for about 30 seconds or manually turn mobile data off and then on again for internet to start working again.
I've tried changing APN settings, changing network type, but the problem is still there.
I've read some similar issues with Note 3 and SGS5 users, and some problems with modem versions, but i couldn't find anything from note 4 users
And this problem is very frustrating on phone like Note 4
Is there anything else i could try?
Mate i have exact same problem
I don't know if this is relevant, if your apn settings has a proxy and port values, try to delete it and let the proxy and port be blank. I had issues previously with data getting stuck while using proxy setting.

I also loose data signal and on calls people cant hear me properly.. doesny always happen. Ill try thanks
Also experiencing this with Tmobile UK.
Also have this exact same problem with the unbranded SM-N910H, H+ but no internet all of a sudden. I also sometimes lose the whole signal (Emergency Calls Only) so I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off and on to get it working again. I asked some people and they told me it's a coverage problem with the network provider. IDK if it's true.
No ahmadmob its the phone although i have n910u i have exact same problems as u!! I thinks its modem hopefully gets solved soon im in Australia using prepaid only 3g/h+

Glad it's not a carrier specific issue.
Guess I'll wait for an official fix or for other radios to become available.
I rang samsung australia few weeks ago and they had no idea than again when do they ever!? Lol so looks like we will have to wait buddy
Some common suggestions:
1- Swap the SIM card into another phone to see if the problem persists?
2- If the problem is due to Note 4, you may need to update your firmware/baseband to the latest one (if one is available, or you have to wait until Samsung release it), or try another firmware (from another model) or custom ROM.
Tried already mate sims fine updated reflashed stock rom and still same problem.. hopedully update comes soon
I just tried sim card from another carrier, and for now, everything looks fine.
I'll go ask for a new sim from my carrier, or switch my number to another one.
Sorry for digging, didn't want to make a new topic.
I'm here with the same problem. Did any of you find solution for it (other than switching to different carrier). I'm on Play in Poland and i find mobile data problematic mostly in roaming (free roaming with every carrier in Poland). For example on t-mobile or plus i find my up arrow constatnly blinking and H switching to H+ and again. Problem is even worse with 2 or less signal bars. I'm thinking of changing sim cars to new one, but on my note 2 everything works perfectly fine.
I thought I noticed a slight improvement after the final KitKat update, may have been a placebo effect though.
In general it's still bad, much worse than my HTC M7, same network, same location etc. It seems to be particularly bad when travelling at speed e.g. on the train I get full bars but only 1 arrow flickering.
Upgraded to Lollipop a couple of days ago and finally rooted, doubt this will make a difference but will be able to report during my commute tomorrow.
In summary: The HSDPA modem on my phone is rubbish.
P.S. Previous phones I've owned came with options for different modems, I'd often flash these to improve performance, where are they for the Note 4?
I think they're not available yet, at least on lollipop...
Mine is completely fixed after a few updates i get 4g+ here excellent reception

Could tell more how did you fix your problem?
All fixed!
I can confirm that after the lollipop 5.0.1 update on my SM-N910H all my mobile data problems/mobile network drop outs are solved!. 3 days without any problems now.
Edit: maybe it had something to do with Radio and it got fixed after it got updated along with the lollipop update package?
Guys, here in my country Bulgaria, many of us owners of SGN4 have the same issue and wilth Lollipop also. I have noticed that with KitKat the problem was more frequent than Lollipop but it is still there. We have tried Polish Lollipop and now the official Bulgarian Lollipop but the problem still exists. I hope somebody will tell me which ROM you have installed (oficial) so I could share it with my fellow citizens. Thank!
