Hi all,
I have a 32A Magic bought in Singapore and loaded with Rogers rooted ROM 2.1.1 (baseband 63.18.55.06QU_6.35.16.19) (its a rooted version with superuser only and nothing else, remembered get it from Smoki thread).
I now move to US and tried AT&T but I get no 3G signal only edge? I want to switch to T-mobile but I don't know if I can get 3G signal there? If yes which ROM should I use?
Thanks a lot.
After installing ms2ginger 3.0 my defy +reception 2g reception almost not available ( 90% not working any suggestions thanks in advance)
defy plus 2.3.6 kernel . asian retail ver. set CLK3 to 800 as instructed .
Use defy baseband switcher tool to switch to indian radio frequency 900/2100mhz
I am on this ROM (green lens) and I do not have any problems.Have upgraded from 2.1 (T-Mobile, UK)
thanks a lot its worked. god bless u buddy
how come for everyone 900/2100 works?
for me 2g always drops with 900/2100
im using 850/2100 and it drops less frequently
No network connection

Yesterday installed CM7.1 in my defy but am unable to use internet connection(2G,3G,Edge),I searched in basband switcher in that no frquency iption for india.Some times the signal strength also bad.
Help me out
Some releases of cm7 do not have latest version of baseband switcher.
Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662294&d=1311330982
Or
Install this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=677844&d=1312508143
Both of them include indian frequencies
If I understand correctly - the Bravo has access to 850/1900MHz for UMTS but Tmobile uses 1700/2100MHz. Does that mean no 3g on T-Mobile for the Bravo?
If you use the defy baseband tool, the settings for T-Mobile are 850/1700/2100 so 3g shouldn't be an issue. I've always had success with the 1st choice (3.4.2-107-4) with at&t. Assuming you're American, one of the three us T-Mobile settings should work. If not you could try copying the baseband from the defy T-Mobile port. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230251 The rom rip is advanced and not recommended if you don't know how to fix a "mess up". I'll post a tutorial if defy baseband doesn't work for you.

It does not work with T-Mobile's 3G, Bravo frequencies are 850/1900 mhz while T-mobile uses 900/1700/2100 mhz.
Bravo hardware allows only these frequencies.
Baseband switcher cant manage that!
Didn't know that. Never looked up the frequencies. I've only had 2 connection problems, and baseband fixed it. Except for the latest two cm9 nightlies. Haven't tried to fix since it's on multiboot and cm7.2 works great. Saw the thread in Dev and will post back here if I find something since I haven't reached 10 posts yet.
I am in the USA using the T-Mobile network.
I tried the defy basebands on my quarx/cm7 bravo. Out of all of the basebands I tried the radio would not establish a connection. No 1G, 2G nor 3G connections were possible with these defy T-Mobile basebands.
Luckily I backed up the /system/etc/motorola directory and restored over the changes that the defy baseband changer loaded. I have 2G back in action after the restore.
My carrier uses 900/1800 baseband. I tickled through all regions and carriers and didn't find 900/1800. The closest option is 900/2100. How to add 900/1800 baseband to baseband selector?
CM7

The baseband selector is ported over from the defy. They probably know more about it and they're a more active community: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1444&order=desc.
Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port

Did your Bravo come with the 900/1800 baseband? If so, you lost it when you flashed CM7. There is still hope, find someone with a stock rooted Bravo, or a Defy/phone with same radio, that uses your carrier and upload the entire system/etc/motorola and I'll be able to help you out.
I know that the Defy, Defy+, Bravo, & Milestone 2 all have the same radio. Start with those phones then expand to other Motorola Omap 3630 phones.
If you made a nandroid of your stock with that baseband and it worked just fine, restore it and upload that directory.

Frankly, I don't remember which baseband I used with a stock Bravo. I started to worry about that after I had flashed CM7. Before CM7 I had got CM10 and the signal strength was pretty good in the Underground, but when I had flashed CM7 my phone wasn't able to connect to network. So I started to think that there was something wrong with CM7. When I checked baseband I saw that my carrier baseband GSM900/1800 is not in list (btw, CM7 900/2100, is the first number for 2g and is the second for 3g? or are them both for 2g?). And I thought that signal might be lost because of difference in baseband. But than I flashed WR yesterday. I have a strong signal in the Underground now (in baseband selector I checked 900/2100). So the signal strength is not depend on baseband but on ROM.

The baseband shouldn't be dependent on the rom. If you have a working signal in CM7, then the same baseband should give you a working signal in CM9\10\MIUI. I actually use 3 different basebands that I use -- they all work good for me, but in low\no signal areas sometimes changing basebands will increase or give me a signal. It'll be boring, but go to Settings>Advanced>Baseband Selection and try out all of the 900mhz basebands until you find some that work well for you. I use 850mhz basebands so mine won't help, and to all the other 850's -- there's only 3, 4 including ATT stock which isn't in Baseband Selector. And for the other question, both are for 2g, 3g, 4g -- what's being transmitted over what particular frequency all depends on the governments and local standards (and your hardware )

Thanks. Will try different 900mhz someday There may be some tweaks in ROM. For example, for battery saving or signal power increasing, I guess Anyway, It's OK in WhiteRabbit rom now :good:
I was so happy with WhiteRabbit because of strong network signal. A couple weeks later my phone has got weak signal again... I have no idea what has happened. It doesn't depend on rom as skeevy420 said. But I do believe that it's software problem. May it be some power-save profile?
Have just posted a request to add my baseband at Defy forum. Maybe it could help..
For some time now (After flashing OOS3 with new firmware) I have bad signal on my Oneplus2 and I guess that's the reason my battery is draining fast.
Recently I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/switch-firmware-twrp-t3371583
But it made no difference.
I made two screenshots recently. One from OxygenOS 3.0.2 (rooted) and one from HalogenOS 0.3-beta (rooted)
http://imgur.com/a/tKrpA
As you can see. Both the signals show an orange bar.
I'm from the Netherlands (Europe) and tried to change preferred network type, apn etc but that didn't work out.
Then I entered phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) and I saw I only have USA bands in my radio band chooser. See image below:
http://imgur.com/a/6aPIZ
That's not normal is it? I have 4g/lte connection. but it's very unstable. My model number is A2003.
Hopefully someone can help me out
