Hi
i bought telus galaxy s2x t989d which is supposed to be exactly the same version of t-mobile galaxy s2 t989, but i started to use it on (AWS 1700) wind mobile or mobilicity, the signal is weak and reception is bad, i red that if i flash t-mobile radio on my phone, the reception will be fixed, if that is true where i can find this radio and how to install it.
thanks
Indeed, you can get better/worse signals depending on your location and your radio. Its more a trial and error thing to see which one works best for you in your area.
Check this thread for some radio's information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426001
I also recently got the Telus Galaxy S2X to use with Wind Mobile. I though I would need to update the Radio to a T-Mobile one as well but was pleasantly surprised that for me the Telus radio give me full signal strength and data speeds (same as what I got with a Wind LG Optimus 2X phone). You can try flashing the radio but don't think it will help that much.
thanks for the reply, its more like to try and find out

Another question. If i flash the latest darkside. Can i flash tmobile radio instead of telus radio which comes with darkside

i'm on Wind and using T-mo radio
no problems for the past 2.5 years
good reception every where i go, including most basements
except the toilets and elevators in tall buildings
The Blaze radio is better than the stock Telus radio for me on Telus. Worth checking out. You can find it somewhere on the first or second page in the dev section (maybe the 3rd).

1) yes
2) yes
3) none i can think of, it all comes down to the Apps you have loaded and what is eating the battery, there's no magic ROM that will do that for you
4) only a some stock ODIN ROMs, most have them (radios) castrated to prevent damage to phones, when flashing the wrong ROM by accident

I'd say thats pretty standard.
I am using Telus T989X on wind mobile using telus radio here. For me, telus radio seems to pick up the best signal overall.
a lot of stuff affect battery life, there are many topics with good what to do and not to do to make the best out of your battery
something as simple as a live wall paper can drain your battery like a pig
i'll not go into details, as there are plenty of topics about that already
I flashed dark side ucle2 and t mobile radio. I noticed improvement in battery performance. But the reception is same as telis radio

Where can I find Blaze radio?
Hey guys.
Seen this around the threads but want to ask apart from being one more 3g band and 2 less 4g bands, what's the difference between the two? Everything else should be the same?
And the major thing is are all the n7105 roms going to go onto the T version no problems? That's one of my main concerns... Is there different partitions or something?
Thanks guys.

I have used several N7105 roms on my N7105T with no problems (currently using an AT&T note 2 rom on my Telstra note 2). From my understanding any N7105 rom will run okay. If you have network issues, just reflash the modem for your provider.
Thanks mate.
I'm with optus and I've bought this phone directly from Samsung. Straight up rom, no bloat of any kind. So I don't know if I should be using the non T version or what. But from what your saying then rom wise, I won't have any dramas, that's good news. I heard triangle didn't work before update because of a partition difference. That worries me a little.
But if you've been flashing N7105 roms and had no issues then that's awesome. Far as I'm aware it's just the bands that are different. The T has quad 2g, quad 3g and dual 4g as the non T version has quad 2g, tri 3g and quad 4g. Is that right?
Everything else apparently is exactly the same. Just needed some professional opinions Haha.
Thanks mate. Any more info would be much appreciated.
Thanks again.

I am not really sure about what bands are compatible with the n7105/T but I do know that all n7105 roms are compatible with any 4g version of the note 2. What I meant earlier about the modem is that if you use a n7105T, you should use an n7105T modem. If you use an AT&T note 2, use an At&T modem. If you use an international n7105, use that modem.
Not sure if that answers your question but hopefully it helps.

Yeah that does help heaps.
So basically, like a nexus, you just flash the right radio for your version of Android after you've flashed your rom and it's all good?
Yeah sorry, I've just been paranoid about bricking my device not flashing the "proper" model rom. But as far as I can gather it's exactly the same handset, just the radio would different, because of the bands. It's great to hear that you've flashed multiple N7105 roms and had absolutely no dramas. That means it's fine! Haha.

Yep that's it! Don't worry so much, it is very simple. Just make a nandroid backup before you do anything as a safety net
Thanks man.
Well, from this then, N7105 or N7105T, both the same with everything. No chance of bricking. I had another response saying he said it's a bit risky with the T model as it's different, that was one thing that made me second guess... And the triangle away partition error...

Good day to all,
I am just checking to see the full flexibility of the S4 in terms of development.
I'm looking over the specs on all of the different variations that are out for the S4.. a little more then called for.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
From my point of view.. the GT-I9505, SGH-I337, SGH-M919 are basicly the same.. only huge difference is the i9505 LTE bands compared to the M919 and I337.
I know if i flash the wrong kernel or mod, it can, and most likely would brick the phone..
i'm not smoking crack here.. but is it possible.. is there a way to use a I337 mod/kernel and flash over .. i guess the radio for the m919?
Can you? Maybe. Should you? No. Would it involve flashing the modem in any case? No.

I run at&t rom's and kernels on my S3 all the time. In fact I run nothing but AT&T versions of slim and kt kernel.
I plan on doing the same thing with my S4 once they get their b/l unlocked.

Exactly!
But, i came from the i9300... and it was a no no to run a i9305 on the phone with the hardware issues... but.. are the AT&T and T-Mobile phones the same?? hardware anyways??
T-Mobile and AT&T variants were next to identical on the GS3, i havent looked at specs for the S4, but i would definately NOT flash international S4 stuff to your US S4, no no no no no dont even think about it!

You probably cab but it will probably have bugs. For instance. On my s3 I can flash kernels from any other carriers and if I do sprint I get rotarion issues.

You can flash the ROMs for other models no problem as long as you flash a kernel made specifically for your device. I haven't experimented with kernels for other devices, but I can say that I have made the mistake of flashing both AT&T ROMs and i9505 ROMs and forgot to flash a TMO kernel and all I got was a nice failure to boot after the initial Galaxy S4 splash screen. Can't speak for the other carriers, but I just make it a point to flash KT kernel for the TMO device with each ROM I flash given the problems I've encountered with AT&T and i9505's models.
A brick waiting to happen. You should never flash a kernel that is NOT made for your device. Oh well going to be a good thread to watch a few days. Makes for some good reading, and good lessons for others.
Carry on!
Your welcome
As @lordcheeto03 stated I flashed i9505 rom on ATT and forgot to flash kernel and booted, it displayed a notice on boot that Non-AT&T software is detected, and didn't boot...
I also tested to flash i9505 Modem on i337 and it/ i.e. odin displayed notice, of a failure due to knox [sic] rejecting it...
I booted into recovery manually flashed i337 kernel and it successfully booted without any brick.
@TheAxman
So I am new to GSM phones anyway but I just got an AT&T GSIII and I am using it on T-Mobile. I am a Sprint user initially (rooted Gnexus) and testing T-Mobile in an area I frequent to compare if it is worth switching.
My questions is I am already downloading the root kit and ready to run a ROM but should I use a T-Mobile Rom or an AT&T Rom. Also not sure if I should be asking this in the T-Mobile general section. Any advice would be great.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
If its an ATT phone it should have an ATT ROM. (I've never tried any other carries so anyone else correct me if I'm wrong)
Just set your APNs to tmobiles APN and you should be set.

You can use any Rom that states the option for picking tmobile or att in Aroma installer
Also I can verify you can odin a stock T-Mobile tar file onto the i747 and get perfect working 4g and wifi calling.
Flashing strictly t-mobile roms may be another problem.
A few good roms for T-Mobile users on the att i747 @re
Wicked Rom v10
And T-Motion both in att android dev.
Make sure to choose t-mobile as the carrier when u set up aroma install on the i747 if you use tmobile sim..
The reason the roms all works across the t999 @i747 is because the phones are so identical and the build props have been tweaked/edited to create working roms on a completely diff carrier device.

If I will use Wicked Rom v10 or T-Motion will I get these functions working ? If not, what ROM would you suggest?
I am completely new, so don't blame me guys
Thank you.
I was running axis ROM and it worked great. Lots of stock features like multi window and motions. But very customizable. I haven't tried flashing a T-Mobile ROM yet tho. Actually didn't know I could. I thought the Roms were specific to the phone model

You should have no problems flashing T-Mobile ROMs on there, and you can always flash back to an AT&T rom if it doesn't work.
You will need to follow these instructions to get it to flash though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45813646&postcount=2

Wondering if you ever got this done and working with WiFi calling.
I have this funky i747 in a T999 case thing going. I'm running an ATT stockmod ROM on it, but thinking of flashing a T-Mobile ROM on it
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303 - though I've been advised not to flash the modem it says to flash ... last time I did on this phone I lost IMEI ... upside is this time the NVitems data has been backed up). At any rate, I haven't tried it yet. Word is it'll either work or it won't, and I can flash back to the ATT stockmod I'm using if it doesn't. But I'm a little leery of trying it right now.
The reason to do it would be to get wifi calling. Otherwise I like the phone just fine the way it is. That's why I'm reading threads like this. To see what experience others have had.
I flushed with Wicked v10 :

The radios and kernels are the only difference I see, data is also different, with the right kernel and or modem, yes they can work. So, I do not think you could use them, it may put the phone into a bootloop. At least that is what I am seeing with the i337 and the i337M
So are they any different hardware wise? If only difference between them were softwares then flashing same roms kernels and radios would make them identical right? Nobody owns a m919v?
