How can I find the best Modem for me without flashing them one by one?
My zone is Spain and Movistar.
Simple answer : You can't.
They're just like ROMs in the sense that you won't know exactly how it works until you try it.
Kidcarter is right. You cant, it due to your location, your mobile operator, your band etc..

Perfect is one which comes packed with rom, unless you are having any network issue. In such case you should first try latest one from country you are living.

Hello,
I am so close to buy one of these beasts, i pretty much know the answer but I still want to make sure. Once i get the phone sim unlocked, can i make this phone work in another country? The GSM company uses 900 GSM / 2100 WCDMA (UMTS) in that country.
Am pretty sure it would especially born unlocked.. Best bet is to research the carrier you might be using in other country and look at the gsm. But am certain u can

I currently am in that country and there are 3 comps, however my old ****ty AT&T LG Neon manages to work on one of them which uses GSM 1800. So as long as i have the right frequencies i can say i am good to go?
You should. But try it since your there..it wouldn't hurt.. Am 90% certain.

That's what it appears he is saying.

Wouldn't be too surprising really. Aside from slightly different radios, aren't all the US variants (canadian too) virtually identical hardware-wise? It would stand to reason that they would carry the same partition layouts as well.
Though I wouldn't go flashing away without verification of that!

My thoughts at least, I flashed a few at&t roms with no issues besides build.prop stuff. I'm with you on not flashing things though lol.

Yes the baseband stayd the same .I was pretty excited been using it for a week.battery life is good screen is on top of the list then system.so far beside using hiapn for apn settings it has been really stable one or two reeboots that I can remember from restoring youtube a delete and market install fixed that.
How did you bypass the verizon network verification?or did it not say registering on the verizon network? I have flashed many Att, Sprint, and verizon roms, but most(if not all) of the verizon roms have a built in verifyer for their specific network.
Could someone please explain to me what is csc modem radio? And why are there so many options in custom rooms to Flash different radio modem etc?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
CSC and the modem are two different things, the CSC is just a bunch of files which dictate what region/carrier, CPW is car phone warehouse, whereas VOD would be Vodafone for example.
The modem files you can find dotted around control how your device uses the radio hardware, 3G, Wi-Fi etc...

There isn't a "best radio" as such, you basically try them out and choose the best one that works the best for you, it's dependant on a number of factors, what battery drain you get from it, how song the signal is, does it give the best throughput when using a data connection.
Someone may get a totally different result than you using the same modem, if they use a different provider etc...

I have looked all over to find out how to unlock the sim. I cant find anythng that works with the t999. I cant have tmoble do it becouse my account is too new. I am traveling to a area that i need a differnt sim. Can anyone point me in the right direction
Thanks
EBay. They usually have them for around 20 bucks. I don't really trust some of the other third party sites unless someone directly refers me.

Apparently this is working and it's free and a minute and a half to unlock your or any SGS3

Hi
So I have a T-mobile unlocked SM-N900T that I'm currently using in London. I'm on Lycamobile and want to try their 4G network but for some reason my phone just will not connect to LTE. 3G works fine but that's as far as it will go.
I've been able to use 4G in India on the same phone so I know it does work, but for some reason it just wont connect here. I've tried the *#2263# service menu and selecting LTE -> ALL just gives me the no signal / network icon.
Have tried resetting, pulling out the battery and SIM but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone had these issues or any suggestions?
Oh - phone is Unrooted and running the latest KK update.
Any help or advice is graciously accepted. Cheers!
They just might be using a band for LTE that the phone doesn't have/support.

Thanks, shouldn't this phone be able to handle the various bands though?

It handles a bunch of them, but not all. I'd look up the band their service uses for 4G, and see if it's compatible with your phone.

Cheers sir. I'm on the phone with them now and they don't seem to know! What are the usual bands that would normally be used in London though?

Find a phone that they sell and look up spec's and compare.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give that a go. They've called me a few times but keep reading from the same script. Was promised a call back on Sunday, but nothing and its Tuesday already!
They don't offer contracts as they are only PAYG but let me look up specs for O2, as they piggyback their network.

Ok. ..so it would seem that the tmobile phones operate on different lte bands. So I've attempted to flash an international rom on this phone and as the Eagle eyed will note, this was done successfully. I should therefore have an international modem etc now? But I still can't connect to 4G! So does this mean that this is a device (actual hardware) issue or can this be sorted by flashing a modem that allows me to connect to all bands?

Ummm...not trying to be a ****, but why would you repeat a previous post?
Can anyone please advise if flashing a new modem will sort this out for me? I've already tried Knox so may as well give it a try. Suggestions and expert advice please?
