Hello. I have been using void until now. Sometime ago I tested Oxygen. I immedietly noticed a problem with connections. The phone had to be in roaming mode to get any connections at all. Even then I was only able to call and send txt but no internet was available.
So I switched back to void which worked like a charm.
Today I suddenly got the urge to try something new again. So I installed MIUI. The same problem exist with it as it did with oxygen. No internet connection what so ever. After furiously messing with the roaming mode button and a couple of restart the internet connection suddenly came to life. But it is extremely slow and it suddenly disconnects from time to time.
I have a model bought from finland and it was originally with saunalahti version of 135. Any help on how to continue using 2.3 based roms would surely be appriciated.
This is not rom problem. I used all roms and never ever had ANY of problems. ANY.

Let me clarify this once and for all. Android is a slightly different OS, it uses something called middleware, which acts like a bridge between the hardware and the drivers on each Rom.
Now going back to your B135, which is very old btw, you need to upgrade the Stock Rom to at least B137, which will upgrade your AMSS file. This way the Wifi/3G/screen/sensors modules get updated firmware and that should fix your connectivity problems with 2.3 drivers.
Saunalahti is MVNO and it roams on Elisas network so it's normal that you need to enable roaming. Stock ROM has modified RILs or something so that they recognise Elisas network as Saunalahtis and then you don't need to enable roaming. I tried getting those RIL work with Oxygen but those didn't fix it. Cyanogenmod has settings so you don't need to roam. (atleast you can get rid of that roaming symbol)
I don't understand why it works with Void and FLB, maybe those are based on some other MVNO's stock rom idk. Or does it work as it should on every Froyo ROM? Haven't tried other ones and really cba.
You can just enable roaming, you won't get any fees for that as long as you roam on finnish networks. (and it just roams on Elisa afaik)

This is a well know problem. As you know, Saunalahti runs on Elisa's network and when using 2.3 roms, operator is identified as Elisa, thus making the phone think that its roaming.
Some have tried fixin this, but nothing yet.
There is no harm enabling data roaming (international data roaming can be disabled from oma.saunalahti). Or by using CM7 which has an option for "national data roaming". That also removes the roaming icon...
sorry a lil OOT,
how about other features like usb tethering on 2.3.x?i see all gingerbread roms for huawei ideos x5 have issue on these.
is there any solution/workaround for usb tethering?
thanks
hi
i just flash my defy with cm7.1 stable jordan sign
everything was good, except for the 3G signal
The signal seemed to be weaker than the original rom
The major problem is that i found when i using internet
Sometimes, the 3g icon may stop for a while, seems no download and upload signal, which cause slow in browsing website
If this situation prolongs, the website will showed 504 gateway timeout
I'm woundering is this a problem called "fake signal"? or not
Besides, I make a few phone call to my phone, and the phone will ring in this situation.
So, how can i solve this problem
or should i use another CM7 version to fix the problem?
I am from Taiwan, please forgive my poor English
You should use baseband switcher to switch to correct setting of your country. Maybe the default frequency is incorrect
yes I've already done that before
but seemed no improved
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?

I was facing a network issue too. I had to switch my baseband to "China MEE 810/2100" as i use VODAFONE IN
see with your network provider if you have set the correct baseband for your area
I've done all that and it has the same problem on any network and Sim.

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?

Use the steps and share the results!
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!

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 own a Verizon Motorola Razr M, bought in ebay to an US seller. I am in Spain and I use Movistar SIM card
The phone came with stock JB 4.1.2, and therefore I could not unlock the bootloader.
I started using it, but it had a problem that I am not been able to solve so far: after some hours of use, with no problems with GSM and data connections, it suddenly looses both connections, although the signals on the status bar still appear. I take care that signals have gone when I take the phone to make a call or surf the web.
I have tried the following procedures:
Change the net settings to GSM/UMTS
I rooted the phone with motochopper 1.1.2 exploit
I installed Safestrap 3.12 in order to be able to install other available locked compatible roms.
I tried these roms, following this thread here in XDA: Clean ROM 1.0. Clean ROM 1.1, Barebone New Base, Stock Deodexed.SDswap-Locked & UnLocked BLs-xt907-9.8.1Q-94-1, but no luck. This last one uses the last radio, but no way.
I also installed the [PATCH][GUIDE] Patch to fully enable GSM on Verizon CDMA Android phones. I could only install it on Clean ROM 1.1 however. It has been impossible to install it on the other ROMS. In any case, no luck again with the patch installed. Here I had a big problem because as I still had these problems, I got into *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, and touched the band selection option: suddenly, the net showed no signal more and I was unable to make it work again: I finally solved this by installing the stock firmware from here with RSD lite.
No way. I still have this problem and I can not use the phone. I have also tried with another SIM card, but the problem remains. It is a shame because when the connection works, the phone runs very well.
Any help would be very appreciated

The problem also seems to become worse with the use of the phone: at the beginning, coming from a factory reset, It can last some hours before the problem occurs. But since it happens from the first time, it happens more and more frequently and the phone can not be used any more. It seems that there could be a software issue.
Another try disabling fast dormancy
I´ve just disabled fast dormancy, because my operator Movistar apparently does not use this technology.
For this, I have modified 3 lines from build.prop system file, as indicated in another site.
The 3 lines are:
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.telephony.default_network=3
Having fast dormancy enabled when your operator does not support it, seems to drain battery, and could cause other problems. That´s why I´ve done this. I have used root explorer apk from Google store, it is free and it automatically creates a backup of build.prop file when you modify it.
I keep the fingers crossed, let´s see what happens.
Fast dormancy: yes but...
After some days using the phone with fast dormancy disabled (for this, I also added this line to build.prop: ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 ; I read this for ICS Roms, I do not know if this command is also valid for JB, any comment will be welcome), I still get some cuts (less I would say), but at least the phone tries to restart the connections. For this, I have also installed the apk from Google Play called 3g reconnect.
In any case, any comment would be appreciated.
Issue not solved
I still get data and voice disconnections when I use GSM/UMTS or only UMTS modes. They occur ransomly, and they also occur as soon as I use a WIFI connection. I can only use the phone on GSM only mode, which is frustrating.
Any advise?

Hello,
I have tried both: using *#*#4636#*#* or using the usual phone settings. Sometimes I have also checked that the changes made with the usual settings appeared also dialing *#*#4636#*#*.
Yesterday evening, I tried selecting global mode instead of GSM/UMTS and it seemed to work for some hours, but today morming, the problem occured again. So far, the unique way I have found to avoid connection cuts off is using GSM ONLY mode. I have to say that I have tried with 2 different SIM cards but the result is identical.

What booby a trap? How many step into!
I don´t know if I am understanding you. I did that once because I did not know what else should I do to solve the problem. I saw that there was the possibility to choose theoritically between US bands and Cellular, and I entered in that menu. It is not so stupid to try that if you have already tried 100 other ways.
In any case, anybody has an idea about how to solve this problem? I´m sure I am not the unique person having this issue with this phone.

You are saying the problem is now still there. Yet the radio partition is fixed. Please restate what has been fixed with the rsd flash & what remains unfixed.
Well I think I have fixed and solved the problem: I initially copied the APN settings I had with my previous HTC Sensation, because the phone operator was the same (MOVISTAR), the SIM card too, and I have not moved. In these APN settings, the proxy was "undefined" as well as the proxy gate. I wonder if the radio stucks looking for a proxy each time or whatever. I tried yesterday with completely different APN settings, with a concrete Proxy and a gate... and now I have not had any issue in the past 24 hours. I will still wait a couple of days to see if that was finally the reason.
Which in any case would be silly, because I just applied what was working OK with my sensation, but...
New APN settings: let´s see

After several days, the problem is still there. After setting new values in APN, it happens less often, but it still happens. I have to switch to GSM only mode.
2 days ago, I was surfing the net at quite high speed with no interruptions, for half an hour. I then shutted off the screen, on again some seconds later, and the connection was blocked, I had to restart the phone. It has to be a software issue.
I finally sold the phone
After concluding that I could never get rid of this problem, I sold the phone, informing that he would have to use mainly GSM only connection. Great phone otherwise, but with this issue.
This sounds like a Baseband Issue.
Europe I have found baseband:
sm_bp_101031.027.32.81P to be the most stable so far, with no H+ support though.
But most Carriers in Europe don't have H+ or LTE.
That baseband is part of build 9.8.1Q-66
Which can be all downloaded here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
The baseband from 98.16.1 had H+ support in Europe but connections dropped like crazy.
Same with 98.12.4, we remedied that with Aussie Radio at the time.
Maybe this may help some International users with Data and GSM Loss

I'm on 9.8.1Q-94-1(98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US) and wanna use it in Germany. any experiences with the radio compared to the suggested one. Or is there another way to boost the performance of the razr m? Compared to my razr I the signal and data quality is really poor...
edit: my baseband-version is: SM_BP_101032.021.32.80P
edit2: ok... now i've flashed several basebands... and the behaviour of the phone is always the same... with the australian baseband of xt905 it wasn't possible to get an hspa-connection. dunno if its enough just to flash the radio-fw?!?!?
so is there an other way to get more stability in my region? i tried to flash the radio from razr hd retail germany. but i think the razr m don't like it when I fool around. actually I love the mobile, so i don't want to make it angry... your suggestions are very much appreciated...
