3g problem on defy

hey all, my defy has a weird problem. even when I'm on 3g the speed is only limited to 5 kBps ....I'm on cm7 rc1.5 and is it because of the baseband?.....I'm from India and the frequency is 900/1800 but in the defy baseband switcher I can't find an option for the above frequency ...I can only see an option for 900/2100... can anyone tell me how to fix this problem or suggest a baseband switcher with the above mentioned frequency ....plz help....there is 1 more thing ...I get the H symbol and the signal strength is 85 to 75 dBm but even then the speed is only 5 kBps

Can someone tell me how I can switch my baseband to 900/1800 ?

Some local ISP down throttle the speed when you reached the given maximum 3G data cap. This usually applied to unlimited plan data line. So you might need to check first with your ISP before jump to the conclusion of your Defy having problem.

been experiencing the same issue for a while , am assuming its a service provider issue but am not sure . Plus on the newer cm nightlies the defy baseband switcher doesnt have the indian baseband in it and i have to manually flash baseband switcherv4v0.7 to select the indian baseband and it still gives me exactly the same speeds as you mentioned above

I have a 4.1 baseband switcher and it has Indian baseband option but it shows the Indian frequency as 900/ 2100 instead of 900/1800....that's y I need a 900/1800 option on the baseband switcher

AFAIK India uses the 2100mHz frequency for 3G. But in any case if you want to try 1800mHz, choose any of the countries that use 1800mHz from the list, the country doesn't matter. 1800mHz is 1800mHz in any country in the world

ummm i thought it was 1800mhz because that worked perfectly fine for me ..... ok either ways any idea on why the slow download speeds on 3g frequencies because it used to work fine for me

Sometimes the speed would return to normal for a while if I switched to airplane mode and after a few hours I switched to normal mode ...but it would last for a short while only ....I am really puzzled
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

have to make a correction i wasnt using the 1800 band was using the 2100 band only ma bad ... hmmm havent tried that out yet will try and let you know ....

tried it out didnt work for me at all ... really wish if somebody does have any info about this .... will try other baseband settings to see if anything helps

HSDPA connection + only 5kps = ISP limiting speed. Just too much of a coincidence that you are getting GPRS speeds while having a 3G Connection established.

if its ISP limiting , is there a way to stop it?

Anyone? Plz help

I still think you should check with your ISP first as I see it came from your data traffic having limit the speed or changes in their plan without notifying you.

Doom Kernel should work whether you use 2G or 3G. Is this what you wanted to know? There are even 3G tweaks on this forum to enhance the 3G speeds. Look for V6 Super Charger.

GSM means your phone uses a sim card. A sim card can use both 2G or 3G. If you phone uses a sim card you will want to use Doom Kernel for GSM. Is this what you are trying to figure out?
GSMは、携帯電話はSIMカードを使用することを意味します。 SIMカードは2Gまたは3Gの両方を使用することができます。あなたの電話はSIMカードを使用している場合には、GSMのために運命のカーネルを使いたいと思うでしょう。

Baseband for Indian Gnexs ??

I am having battery and signal issues with my Gnex. Phone is bought from HK and baseband is XXLA2.
What baseband should i be using ?
Does flashing ROMs change baseband as well ? I flashed AOKP build 40.

still stuck
my RIL and baseband match but these are XX europe based, and there is no DD baseband/RIL available as nexus is not launched in india.
So again what RIL and baseband should i use.

i updated it too 4.1 and it used XXLA2 , but i found my GNex showed lesser bars and also connectivity showed emergency call, whereas other users on same network had bars and could place calls, also flt battery drop was more, but could be wrong.
Any suggestion on which is most optimized for us(Indian) users... i am on vodafone in mumbai

[Q] Australian Vodafone GN2 LTE settings disabled

Hi everyone I have a 2 week old SGN2 N7105T from Vodafone Australia.
As Voda in Australia doesn't have 4g yet it seems Voda/Samsung has disabled 4g LTE on the phone.
Which means I cannot use another sim from another carrier to reap the benefits of 4g.
In the settings I only have options for wcdm/gsm auto, wcdma only & gsm only.
Does anyone know if and how I can enable 4g?
I have thought about rooting and putting a different rom from a different country or one from another carrier in Oz (such as Optus 1800mhz) that has the 4g option.
Not sure if that will allow me to get 4g? (By using an Optus sim)
Thanks

Vodafone Australia doesn't have 4g network just yet. They are planning to upgrade by June/ july 2013. Thats why they disabled lte option on note 2 7105t for now. even if you are able to get lte option by flashing different rom you won't be able to get 4g network.
This is seriously against the consumer right as we pay premium price for 7105 only for lte reason. But we get the phone same as 7100

I think this is not correct. 4g connection is not disabled on the phone. Because the carrier does not support 4g at the moment, the LTE option in the menu will not be visible. That is the impression that I have got from a Vodafone NZ engineer.

Sorry man you're flat wrong.
I flashed a rom I found on here for the N7100 that was confirmed compatible with my N7105-t From Voda and put in my telstra sim and 4G'ed my brains out.
It was getting crazy numbers for up and down speed in speed test so I know it was legit. That and the 4G logo up the top....

You used telstra sim and got 4g, because telstea have 4g networks. Nothing wrong with that. So how I am wrong here? I said getting 4g compatible rom doesn't mean you get 4g from VODAFONE because they don't have 4g. tell me if I am still wrong. Thankx

Working LTE on Switzerland

Starting this discussion to bring some light or current experiences. In my case, LTE doesn't work with either sunrise/ orange providers. In 1st case, after 1 hour with tech support they said there's nothing wrong with sim/subscription and it should work. The fact is even in areas with good 4G coverage I don't even see the LTE option in network settings. In 2nd case, Orange simply said "your phone is not supported..." !. They both work on the 1800 band, so it's ok, in fact, I was in Lisbon last week and with a vodaphone SIM I could see the LTE option, thought I couldn't ever get more than H+ as network signal. I' 've searched on forums and might be of current firmware release. Some post for similar issue advised to flash Romania 10D version. I have downloaded v 10F (germany) and willing to try it. Anyone to share suggestions or anyone from Switzerland with similar issue? Thanks all.
Current software version is E97510E-Eur-xxx and baseband APQ8064/MDM9X15M

Like i said in that post you quoted,the operator will release a small update(<10mb) in order to give acces to 4G.Orange Romania uses 2600mhz band.If orange Switzerland uses the same freq,then you can try to flash 10D from Orange Romania.
My phone came with 10C,4g not enabled.After 2 weeks or so, i received the update and i have LTE now.

You mean you received update from operator? What steps, contacts did you follow as they say LGOG isn't supported...

Solved . I can't believe so simple. After some googling I found a post (in german) I couldn't understand, but referenced some info about network defaults and it's values. Some bell ring and I looked for a ro.telephony.default_network parameter in build.prop. Just changed from "9" to "13", rebooted et voilá. .. many more options available under network settings, including LTE. Once chosen, it registered on 4G victory: ). You have to be rooted of course. I did the change using buildprop editor from ROMtoolbox Pro.
Also, it seemed to me that after flashing 10F, phone was (even) faster. I''ve run Antutu 3 times and always got around 17970 (with 10E never got more than 17150).
