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 all, I have a question about my new phone. It seems that after rooting and thorwing in the Blazer ROM my screen rotation is now INVERTED.So when I landscape to the right, what should landscape right side up, is now upside down and the same goes for landscaping to the left. Any idea what the cause might be?
I have tried a different ROM and the same thing is happening, it also never happened on the stock OS...which I seem to be having a VERY VERY hard time flashing. I have the current stock OS right now but ODIN won't seem to pass it. Any thoughts guys? I got many many games I want to play in landscape and I just can't. Any help would be greatly thanked.
Try clark44 freeGs3 rom. Best rom I've used yet
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
Tmobile kernels do this. Are you flashing a tmobile kernel or do you have a tmobile phone flashing sprint roms?

Red download stock from a different thread than the first
Also try recalibrating your accelerometer

No I am using AT&T if that's what your asking. With Blazer ROM

This is your problem. AT&T and Tmobile both have different kernels than the CDMA (Sprint) model. You'll have to flash an AT&T kernel to fix the rotation issue. If you're having other issues, then I suggest you flash a full AT&T ROM.
Here's the AT&T section.

I try a new stock ROM tomorrow, finally got Blazer back and installed and the up-side down landscape is still happening. I tried the re-cal the gyro but to no avail.
I did find a thread on sprint forums though, so a few people having this problem with their phones ONLY after having rooted it. And in even fewer cases, upon getting a brand new phone...the same thing still happened. So I will find a new stock ROM try it and show it to the guys at my local store and see what we can get going. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know! Thanks so much.

Anything's possible, but the U.S. variants have the same chip set (exact, to be honest.) so the drivers are still compatible with each phone. This doesn't mean you should go flash kernels like mad from other carriers, but it's been proven that T-Mobile kernels work on Sprint, it just causes landscape mode to be reversed and vice versa from GSM to CDMA.
Like The Heading Can We Flash At&t Roms because we flash slimbean From At&t And I Have Read That Both types of phones are alike?
I never had to flash ROMs from other carrier coz we have all the best roms here... But u can flash ROMs from at&t as long as u flash a tmobile kernel rite after u flash ur ROM.....

Just thought I'd add a quick statement to that. Yes you can flash AT&T roms to our T999. But unless you consider yourself experienced with the S3 model T999, I would just stick with what we already have here. You can't just flash and have them work 100%. Often there are different tweaks or changes that need to be made.

But at least with the Dandroid ROM, built on S3Rx, you can flash the AT&T Stock MG2 kernel.
Yup, AT&T kernels are compatible with our T999. In fact, some of the custom ones are AT&T kernels just ported over here. At least they were at one time. Haven't looked in a while.

Hey doc Glad to see that you are still here.
I have flash several roms from att out of the box working. Like you said att kernels are compatible. Sprint, verizon roms have to do some tweaking as for to get data working etc but it still fun to do with.
Been a while since I really did something but slowly doing stuff when the time is right.

I say DON'T try it if you have the 4.3 update.
I think some of these features will soft-brick the i317
No I am running a 4.2 2 liquid Rom

I'd still say stay away from the options that change your bootloader or the modem (due to the hardware differences).
Has not been tested.
N7105 Roms are suppose to be compatible but I have run across a few that would never boot after flashing.
I have seen Dr Ketan on the n7100 forums and seems to be great there. He states does not have our device so has not tested.And no one commented on that thread for over a month. I think I would stay away.
Every rom I have flashed has had different steps somewhere to fix some missing component. I think I would continue to use different methods rather than a swiss blade.
Enjoy!

ATT Galaxy Note 2 was on Scott's Cleanrom 1.5 with UCAMH3 (9/12) and ucamh3 modem for the past year. It work in my office even i know the signal was not great. I never look at signal strength cause it was working.
Update to Sky Note Vanilla F1 with the latest modem ucubmk6 over the holiday. I came back to work on this Monday and i have no signal. Moved the phone around I can get signal and when i call myself it doesn't work sometimes.
I am trying to test each modem and get signals strengths now.
Just want to see if anyone have thoughts on what I can do? or your experiences of the modems in questions.
Flash back to the MH3 modem...
I get an extra bar on that vs. MK6....g

Great.. thanks! As for as kernel, okay to run the latest ucubmk6 for 4.3 or matching kernel for MK6?

Rom dependent...
If using stock TW builds...the stock kernel works fine...
But if AOSP roms or heavily modified TW roms are used...then follow the recommended kernel in the OP...and see which kernel performs best by reviewing the users posts for the rom....g

I am using TW, so i use the latest kernel with ucamh3-modem. Seems to help some. Will keep an eye on it and get different ATT phone to test to compare. Thanks for the tip and have a nice weekend!
