Best modem for Europe @CM7 ?

I have CM7 Nightly #42 and I'm looking for the best modem for Europe, Germany mainly. I can't get 3G to work with JVP/JVQ. Would be nice if it's easy on battery, too.
Any suggestions?

I am using JVO. For the 2g/3g toggle to work wait for the next nightlie. This issue has been resolved

Great news that it finally has been resolved! I miss Cyanogen (used it on my G1 sold 10 months ago, but now I'm on stock Samsung ROM), maybe it's time to do the switch.

Italy For what is the best modem? I thank you in advance CM7 "Italy 3"

I'm on #61 and still no 3G... Nothing in release notes of #62 indicating any improvement. Perhaps I should flash JVK modem back?

You can have 3G only by using the settings menu and not the widget

I don't use the widget. I keep 3G on in the settings, but all I get is H/3G flashing on status bar from time to time with H staying there for good.

Since "H" is better form of "3G", it looks ok.

ugh... I'm turning red now, good you can't see it... THANKS!

H stands for: HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps
Basically means that you have access to high speed internet on your phone.

ok, ok, I got it the first time... please do not kick me anymore, I'm laying on the floor already...

[Q] How to check if LTE is working with I9506 CM11 from solk2?

Hi,
I'm running the userdebug build from this thread. Now I wonder how to check whether LTE works? Should there be an "L" somewhere? I can only see the "H+" for HDSPA+. With the Samsung Firmware there's a big "L" when LTE is available.

Ok, I have selected preferred network = LTE in the system settings. According to this FAQ (hXXp://cyanogenmodlog.wordpress.com/faq/) it should show "4G" which it doesn't.
So I figure it doesn't work

ok, so it does show "LTE" when I move around the area a bit. Apparently the area is not fully covered here.
so everything's good

Does LTE work for you?

cm13 not switching to anything other than wdcma only.

Hey folks , title says it all. I switched to cm13 from chroma , performed a full system wipe including sd card. So far so good but the only problem is , gsm doesn't work. I can't switch to it. Not from the settings and not from the dialer hidden menu. When i select gsm , it immediately switches back. It's always "Wdcma Only". Is this a known bug ? I scoured xda but haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Edit : Flashed the stock radio from 5.1.1 to no avail , also tried the 33-1.07 hybrid modem again doesn't switch. Using the latest December 27th build.

There was a bug report in the mako CM13 thread about being unable to switch between 2G and 3G, perhaps this is the same issue?
I think someones written a patch and just waiting for it to be merged.
Can you explain to me why you want to switch between them? My phone automatically switches, if 3G is available, it uses that, if its not, it drops back to the best available 2G signal automatically. Why would you choose not to use 3G if its available and just let the phone automatically switch?

What you're talking about is wcdma preferred mode. Mine is stuck on wcdma only. Which means i don't have gsm so it won't switch automatically. That and the fact that i rarely use 3g because i'm always on wi-fi somewhere , using gsm saves battery. also on lollipop 3g modem took horribly long wake locks that lasted for %70 of the idle time so i hate msm.hsic.wakelock. But if it is a known bug , i'm relieved because that should be patched soon. Without me having to restore my backup. Thanks.

I just flashed CM13 on my wife's nexus 4 and I realized LTE wasn't enabled. Googled it and it seems there was an app for lollipop to enable it but it didn't work out for me.
Is it a CM13 bug thing or am I missing something?

Thanks for the heads-up. I checked it , i think it hasn't been merged yet. So we gotta wait for tomorrow's release i guess.

Can anyone get their Nexus 4 running a recently nightly (like Jan 8th 2016) successfully switch to LTE? The fix in question was merged a few days ago.
Even though I can go into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and successfully switch to LTE/GSM auto, or LTE/CDMA auto, and the radio *does* appear to power-cycle, it still says on 3G/H+ (so the status bar icon says). Never had this issue with CM12.
My build.prop also says my preferred network mode is 9, even after rebooting, which should keep it on LTE. Any ideas?

The only way to have LTE is to change that patch to include LTE instead of only GSM and WCDMA but since LTE isn't fully supported on nexus 4, a patch like that will never be merged.
Probably someone will make one "lte enabler" for cm13, just wait (or help)

Build with that patch

i saw this and since i wanted to figure out how to build cyanogenmod anyways, i went and built cm13 with the LTE included in where the patch discussed here should have added it. I have yet to test it on my device but thought people here might be interested in it.
let me know if it works out.
i would post a link, but since this is my first post it won't let me. i guess message me directly for it? or maybe someone can and then post the link here?

lannister80 should be posting a link to it shortly, but i thought i would give an update that i did test it on my device last night and LTE does work with it. the normal issues of making sure you have the right modem and then changing it in the *#*#* thing. i had to change mine to LTE only first and then it would work when i changed it to LTE /gsm auto... but it does work.

its a nightly, i might update it on a weekly basis maybe, i have not decided. i can only use the machine i am building it on sometimes.

Confirmed that this build does enable LTE. I did have to, as zachron mentioned, set the radio to "LTE only" first (which enabled LTE), and then "LTE/GSM auto", (which kept LTE enabled, and will hopefully jump down to HSPA+ or 3G when necessary). Switching to "LTE/GSM auto" first did not work (radio turned off, but came back on in HSPA+/3G mode).
I'll roam around today and see if I lose data at any time (when LTE isn't available).
Thanks @zachron!!

@zachron: Can you show me what source changes you made? Maybe I can set up a github account and do a merge request with these changes. I can't fathom why this isn't included in CM13 for the N4xus 4 when it was in CM11, CM10 etc.

as someone else mentioned, earlier in this thread though, they may not change it because the nexus 4 does not "officially" support lte

Which is insane, because they absolutely allowed this in the last several major CM versions (12, 11, probably 10 and 9). Enabling LTE was one of the first things I did after getting my Nexus 4 in March 2013, and I was on an official CM build for years.
The "enabler" just messes with build.prop and makes some database changes to make the setting "stick" after reboot, so it must have been an allowed option when it was built (the enabler can't change that).
I don't know what the deal with the sudden change of heart is...

Mobile signal crazy in every custom ROMs

In the battery stat of MIUI, the network signal is very stable (in my case almost always green)
But with allcustom ROMs the signal is jerky.
We can see for exemple here in the Fedosis's great MM ROM :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72931400&postcount=4514
Here in newer N roms :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73483673&postcount=213
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73472751&postcount=182
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73482497&postcount=963
Also, in my case, after some days of use, i sometimes totaly loose network connection ! (quite annoying for my boss... and my wife )
It should be great to fix this problem for our custom roms.
Do anybody have an idea ?

i do agree with you having very low signal levels in N roms

As it is concerning every custom roms, I don't think it should be post in every ROM threads...
But I agree moving it to discussion.

Here in India, certain telecom operators do not have sufficient infrastructure for high signal reception or coverage. MIUI do not truly show the reception strength while custom roms are partially accurate

Set network preference as 3G, you won't see any network drops then.

Well, TBH, I also got a fluctuating & unstable signal even with Mi4c while my other phone has no problem with signal reception (Galaxy S5).
Both of them are using Custom ROM

Compare devices of same OEM. Samsung must have implemented a better, more stable baseband which latches onto higher reception network bands.

I'll stick to @nasir.da.vinci 's point. I've been using the custom roms for like 5-6 months and now I'm back to miui. I don't see any difference in speed but miui does show false reception.

Xiaomi A1 not showing H or H+

Hi,
Recently I bought a Xiaomi A1. I'm quite happy with it's performances so far. But since beginning it is not showing H or H+. But instead it is showing 3G. I have tried changing mobile networks and swapping sim slots. But nothing changes. Anyone facing such issue?
** In a review in gsmarea one guy mentioned that Android Ones only show 3G for 3G, H or H+.
Anyone have any ideas regarding these?
