[Q] Signal problems

Hi, i was trying to install a custom rom but when i installed the BASEBAND 54 X10i of this thread HERE
Can anyone explain me how to do it well ?
Thnx.

think that the ;last baseband is bugged, I've seen my phone losing signal even more times than before

i think, maybe some basebands work better in certain regions and certain carriers. different signal, different bands and strengths.. not truly sure, but it makes since why some areas get specific updates while some do not..??

You're right... I flashed a dumped baseband version from my cousin's Vibrant to mine, and it fixed the issues.

If your after a guide of how to flash iv got just the thing in my sig, click the link ;-)

[HELP] Really bad service

Posted about this before, but issue was never resolved. Using a telstra Leo on vodafone nz, getting VERY bad service. Almost always using g instead of 3g, and dropping very often, that is, when it actually gets service, which is barely ever when I'm not right next to a tower. Please help.

try changing your radio??
look under settings/about phone/software version/radio, try a diferent compatible one for your device.

this can also be related to the kernel so u can try different kernel

Using the latest 20.xx.15 radio, and tytungs latest kernel. Are there any radio Tom's specifically for vodafone nz?

I've seen google wallet is a sprint thing. NS4G only. This is what I've read, no idea if it's true or not.

I can confirm tethering working on mine.

Google wallet is SPRINT only. T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon chose the Isis mobile payment instead of Google's. Blame your carrier for that.

ya i got ota 2.3.6 too this morning
havent discovered any changes..

Hey guys does your pinch and zoom work in the gallery app since the update?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Anyone with 2.3.6 with GRK39C radio get this update? Wondering if I need to update manually since it's using the same version number as the initial release...

The radio seems a lot better now, faster in places where I live in So Cal where it used to suck.

Was this update only for the i9020T? I have a Canadian i9020A and haven't heard anything yet

It looks that way, so far. I have the i9020A and checked in, but got nothing. I've seen noone else claiming to have gotten it either

Sorry in advance for being dozy....
Can I just confirm that this will work on a WW GSM Nexus S? I'm sure I saw a couple of mentions from mainland Europe but nothing from the UK yet...

Just updated to 2.3.6 (i9023).
- Can't disable NFC
- Can't disable sign out from Latitude
Edit: Rebooting the phone solved it. It also renamed back "Google Mail" to Gmail.

I cant disable nfc either?

Yep works on European Nexus S. Just made a manual update with update.zip method. Can't see anything new yet...

Signal help

So I bought this phone about a week ago, and have noticed something rather odd...the signal is never locked, it is either emergency calls only or mobile network not available or it does work...but when it does work it lasts for like 3 minutes... I live in Honduras and don't know what the issue might be.. I used to have a captivate and had the best signal one can ask for...any help?

Try flashing a different modem. Check siky_dudes thread in dev section.

silkys thread is only for cm7/cm9/miui modems!

Im running ics aokp milestone 4...the problem persists...is there any modem thread you guys can refer me to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

It'll not help to flash another rom or modem! I had the same problem, tried almost every modem/rom but couldn't solve it. I think one out of 100000 i9000's has signal problems.
I don't recommend to do this;
I used to solve it by plugging in an isolated copper wire into the coaxial input on the back of the device. Here's a link to the thread I started with two videos.

Dude, give that thing back if you can!! Nothing will help! You can do whatever you want, but you'll never achive more than 7-15% more signal and that's nothing relevant!!

i have same problem after new ICS updates it take like 1-3 minute to get network signal i tried different modems and still nothing

It has improved inside the city, i go to school outside of town and there I have no signal...at least I can call and text from home...

First of all you should determine what might have caused the error.
Signal problems can be caused by hardware, software or network provider:
- If the problem occurred after a software update (which is usually change the modem driver) You should flash back the old modem
- If you didn't update or change firmware or the modem it can be a hardware issue (dropped phone, water damage etc.) If you don't experience hw you wouldn't disassemble.Give it to someone who has experience in this topic.
- Sometimes signal problem can be cause by the network provider (network error or upgrade) It is usually temporary problem you have to wait and get good signal few hours/days later.
I hope I helped in the first step to get to the final solution.

Might swap/swap questions

Ive read some posts were ppl wanted to exchange their phones for the other version. Ive noticed my phone acting up recently (rooted MF3) It randomly reboots, the home button acts up and today my phone was off which revented my alarm from getting me up. All of these aren't huge issues but if it will get me a replacement phone on the other version than its worth the time. How would I go about asking for the other version (not even sure of the other version is even available) I'm assuming ATT will ask why I'm requesting the other version.

I don't think ATT is going to give you the other version just because you ask for it

What I'm saying is, my current phone has been acting up for a while but I've dealt with it. My issues most likely will fetch me a replacement model. If it all possible I'd like to get the other version so I'd like to know how to ask. I'm still going to call them regardless about my issues.

Most refurbished phones are shipped with the latest version. The best way to go about it is to tell them that your work uses an application that is not compatible with the latest software and you need a device with MDL. Chances are, they will not be able to help you, but it is worth a try.
