Question about 3G icon in new AT&T WM6 ROM

Hello everyone.
My first post here, although I have been an avid reader for a while now. I'd like to say thanks to vp3G and others for the excellent cooked ROMS.
My question: I just started using the new official WM6 ROM from AT&T. My fiance and myself both use AT&T 8525's, and I loaded the new ROM on both of our phones. Now, we can be sitting right next to one other on our couch, and her phone will read as having full bars with the 3G icon to the left of them. Then I'll look at my phone and I have full bars with the E icon next to them.
Would anybody here have any idea as to why? Identical phones, with identical ROMs and identical radio versions, yet she gets 3G while I only seem to get Edge, with the phones sitting side-by-side on the coffee table.
I'm confused on this one ...any ideas? Thanks a bunch in advance for any help and for the great site!

Is 3G disabled in the com manager settings?

Same SIM cards? (AT&T or Cingular?)

I looked in the com manager and looked under settings>phone but couldn't find anything regarding 3G. Where would I look?

Yes, they are the same. We bought the phones a few months back and both shipped with one of the new AT&T SIM cards with the 3G logo on it. I used to get sporadic 3G at home with the older radio versions, but she has always had rock solid 3G on hers. It's weird, I know.

Well, since you looked under the settings>phone; you have the enable band tab reg edit right? If so make sure this is on Auto.
Couldn't tell from your post if you had this exactly.

I'm feeling kind of silly right now...I'm not sure what you're referring to. I open up the com manager in the lower right of the today screen, and then the left soft key becomes a "settings" tab. Opening that just takes me to the phone setting menu (Phone, Services, Network, etc...).
I haven't made any changes to the ROM, just using what it had available.

Ok. Go to Start-Settings-Phone
See if there is a tab on the bottom that says Band...
If you do then make sure that it says Auto on both.
If not then check out the hermes wiki and go to tweaking the hermes registry...
If your are using the 'official' att rom, and if it's anything like the old roms, then the band tab will not be there...

Problem with new WM6.1 ROM

Hey everyone, got a quick question.
I just finished installing the WM6.1 ROM for my T-Mobile dash, and it looks really nice. Everything is working fine, but I have two small problems.
The first thing is that for some reason, my phone wants to put a + in front of all outgoing calls. So if i make a contact in my address book with the phone number of 212-555-1212 and try to call them, the phone places the call as +2125551212 and I get an error from tmobile saying that 'The international phone call you are trying to make cannot be completed...' I realize that + denotes the international dialing prefix, and I can get around it by setting up all my contacts with a '1' before the area code, but there has to be a simpler solution as this was not the case with the original rom. If I dial a number normally, it doesn't put the + before it. Any ideas?
Lastly, I am having a hard time finding out how to disable the JOGGR from doing in-call volume adjustments. While I like it for scrolling, I find it really annoying in phone calls as it is constantly missreading my face as my finger and adjusting the volume up and down. In the original t-mobile rom there was an option under settings for it, but I can't see it in the new rom. I went into the registry editor and tried disabling one function that looked like what I wanted to turn off, but it didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No idea about the + but the JOGGR disable is still in the Settings. It is on the 3rd page, #3 JOGGR.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am able to disable the JOGGR completely using that, but I was hoping for a way to use it for scrolling, but not for volume control.
In regards to the + problem, I went through every option in Settings and couldn't find anything. All the Regional information is correct. I even used the RegEditor to search for + in the entire registry, and it came up with nothing relevant.... Weird. Especially because even if this is an international version, there shouldn't be a + in front of all calls by default, because that would force an international call no matter what country you are in...

Well, I think that it fixed it self in regards to the + problem. Even though I had done so before to no success, figuring that it is running a Microsoft product, a couple of reboots later and it seems to have gone away. Hopefully this isn't a bug that will continue to resurface or is the tip of a larger iceberg.

Just FYI, the + is the prefix for international dialing. If you input all your contacts as +1-404-555-1212 you won't have the problem (1 is the country code for the USA). Another plus to this method is that, if you should go outside the US to a country that uses the GSM network, you can dial your contacts directly via whatever carrier you're on there.

Getting back onto a Sprint MVNO from Page Plus

Ok, so I flashed to Page Plus awhile back, then I heard about Ring Plus, and decided the service plans were perfect for me. I flashed a ZVC rom through LGNPST that put everything back to stock, supposedly.
I then activated with Ring Plus and got voice, mms, text, and 4g working but no 3g. Ok, so I boot up QPST and look at my current configuration, which is still showing some Verizon settings, after hours of digging around looking for settings and experimenting with settings myself, I'm still left with no 3G or even 1x for that matter. 4G still works great, but my local tower only transmits 4G to a few areas in town.
To the point...I want you to please share your Sprint settings with me, if you are on Ring Plus, even better. If you need incentive, money is available. Screen captures are what I need, but please cover up important info just for safety. Thanks in advance!

I'm on Ring Plus. How do I get the information you need?

Nice. Are you familiar with QPST? I'm using version 2.7 build 422. Along with QPST you will need the LG drivers if you don't have them already. I got the latest QPST version from the CDMA Gurus forum.
After all of that installs, set your phone into diagnostic mode by entering ##3424# in the dialer and enabling the option. Plug in your phone to a USB port you have never had problems with.
Open up QPST Configuration and you should see your phone pop up, I had difficulty with mine and had to restart my computer to get everything recognized.
From the QPST Configuration window click on the top bar Start Clients and then Service Programming, your phone should automatically pop up in this new box that opens up, click Ok. From here, click on Read Phone and it will ask you for your MSL, mine is 000000, and I'm pretty sure all of the LGOGs are (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Then you have the option of either doing screen captures to get me the info or to save your configuration into a .qcn file (bottom right of box "Save to file"). After you have done this please hook me up with your paypal email so I can put some cash into your account. Thanks man, I'm really excited to possibly get this thing working right again. I almost broke down today and purchased a used Samsung GS2.

Sure thing. Our job site will be done tomorrow. So I'll have the picture posted up then. And don't worry about the money. We're family here on XDA. And family never charges to help each other out.

That's great man! I'm going to go ahead and post up all of my screen captures in QPST which could potentially save you from having to post more pics than necessary,
Ok, here we go, hopefully they aren't too small. I left out blank windows and hopefully all important information regarding getting my phone jacked, heh, after all, this can be read with a Google search.

Alright. Just arrived back from our project. Sent you a message.

Still looking for a solution. I purchased an HTC Evo 4G and took note of the settings on the Evo and put some of those settings into my OG, still no go. Haha, the good news is that I keep finding more places in town that have 4G, so every time I am in a new place my phone hasn't been to it's like a little game to find out if 4G is there or not, lol!
Is it possible that when I first flashed my phone with "Magical Phones" they dumped my HA and AAA keys? When I read the area they are supposed to reside in all I get are 0.
If this phone weren't so absolutely flawless I would sell it and move onto something that works correctly. I can't believe what this phone sells for now, it seems like it is getting cheaper by the day.

Fire phone doesnt work in india ?

i got the unlocked version of fire phone, but doesnt seem to be working on airtel/vodafone India
i can see the network connected, but cant make/receive any calls ; same with sms
data seems to work though
calling 911, works i.e. atleast gives me a network operator error that the number is invalid; all other number the call just ends
any idea, how to get this working ? i have even tried to factory reset but doesn't help
amazon support, was not able to help; they just said its US compatible only and asked if i wanted to return the device

The phone supports the following frequencies and bands: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz), Quad-band GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz), 9 bands of 4G-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20), supports carrier aggregation
What frequencies are used by the carrier your having problems with? Also, make sure the SIM is inserted correctly. The contacts go down and the cutout faces away from the phone.

facing the same issue
Hi,
I am also facing the verify same issue, I am able to see the carrier and get signal but am unable to make/receive calls.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Is there any settings that need to be changed ?

:crying:facing the same problem, if there are someone really out there who can help us please do....

CAll Amazon
I called up amazon with the same issue. They accepted the fact that there are many with same problems in India. They are working on a fix and will keep me updated. They added my serial number and registered account to the internal Ticket created for this issue. I recommend you all to do the same and get added.
Moreover, they took some debugging data from my phone after approval so I belive you guys should do that to provide them with more data to fix this issue.

Will it not get activated automatically for Indian users
Rather than providing data to them

Nano Sim
Did you try using a new nano sim from the carrier? There may be an issue if older micro sims are used after cutting into nano sims.

Got a new nano sim from vodafone
I got a new nano sim from vodafone and its still the same .

Now only daru666 can help by letting everyone know what feedback he has from Amazon and if it works.

What should we do ? I am sure some update from Amazon technical team can fix this issue....

Anyone tried it in Delhi. Even if voice works, I am fine with the phone.
I can return it it next few days, so any confirmation would be very helpful...

An issue could be that the IMEI code of fire phone is not under registered or under whitelist category of Indian operators. Hence not able to make calls.
For this to happen, amazon will need to give IMEI list to the operators here to add to whitelist. Or it can also be checked with the operators if they recognize the IMEI nos of fire phone.

That would be helpful to us

Did anyone try flashing an android ROM to make it work in India?
Or is this lock hardware controlled?

Same Problem
Same problem....... :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Not working with INDIAN SIMCARD.
Loved the mobile But .....................
Shall i return it (or) keep it..........?

Hello Guys,
Please send an email to [email protected] with the below details.
Amazon needs the following details to find a solution to this issue.
1) Name of network SIM used
2) Did the store/anyone cut the SIM to get it to nano size?
3) Help us by providing logs of your Fire Phone.
To send us logs, please follow below steps:
1. Press the Home button.
2. Swivel your phone or swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Actions panel, and then select the Search icon (magnifying glass).
3. Type ";dm" (without quotation marks) into the Search field. You can find the ";" key by tapping the “?123” key.
Tip: If ";dm" is auto-corrected by your device, tap "dm" in the word choices that appear above the onscreen keyboard.
4. Tap the Search key (magnifying glass), and then wait 60 seconds.
5. Connect your device to your computer using a micro-USB cable. When your device is plugged into your computer, it appears as a removable mass storage device.
6. Open the Fire phone folder (titled "Fire") on your computer, and then open the "Internal storage" folder.
7. Open the “KindleLogs” folder. Drag each of the files within this folder to your desktop.
Note: If you only see "DCIM" and "Pictures" in the "Internal storage" folder, this means your computer recognizes your device as a camera. To change the USB connection type, open the Quick Actions panel on your Fire phone, tap the "Connected as Camera" notification, and then select File Transfer.
8. Reply to this e-mail and include the logs as an attachment.
The total size of the attachment(s) must be less than 6 MB. You will need to send separate e-mails if the size exceeds 6 MB.
After you've e-mailed the log files, delete them from your Fire phone.
LET ME KNOW WHAT RESPONSE YOU HAVE FROM AMAZON ON THIS.​

What is the response from Amazon???

I am also facing a similar situation
Amazon is casually asking me to return the phone and get a full refund. The refund process also looks too complex. Why it isnt working in India alone? They told me that
Although, the Indian carriers provide the network bandwidth which is required for the Fire phone, IMEI's of the Fire phones were not added to the carriers outside the US, so currently the Fire phone will not work with the carriers outside US.
When pressed if they would even rectify it by mid next year, they said that currently they arent working on it. They call a phone which doesnt work with any sim other than the U.S. an unlocked one. Still they are selling the phone at $449 calling it unlocked and when people face an issue they say its Unlocked only in the U.S. This looks like a complete fraud.

Any updates?

Did you return the device? Even the return procedure looks pretty complicated.

We should press amazon to find a solution to this and deliver a fix ASAP considering how big the Indian market can be for them for their inventory of fire phones that are unsold. Moreover, Motorola had similar issues with Moto E And Moto G and they had worked out a solution in 15 days. Amazon can also do the same provided they are serious on fixing the issue.
From what I understand, they need to give an update list of fire phone IMEI's to the Indian carriers who will update their systems accordingly.
The more all of us push, the more we have a chance that Amazon acts faster.

Connects to Guest Networks

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-M317i (Bell Mobility) and recently installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). All is running well, the device actually seems to be running much faster...probably due to the lack of bloatware that originally came with it. Sure, I miss some of the "cool" features that the manufacturer had added (ie. hand swipe for screen capture), but overall I am extremely happy with the decision to flash the ROM. Although it does self-identify as a SGH-N7105 now. (About Phone > Device model)
Anyway, I have noticed that when I have my guest networks enabled on my home router (an ASUS RT-N66U running the latest Merlin firmware), my phone insists on connecting to the Guest networks (a2.4 and 5 GHz) instead of my full, "regular" network (hidden SSID, but a "Saved" network in the phone). Even if I go into the WiFi settings and tell the phone to forget those entries, it will still try to connect...even going so far as to say "connected" even though I know it does not have the proper credentials. I have no idea what is causing this as the problem was not present on the stock 4.4.2 KitKat that I had previously.
Sure, I could give it the credentials for those guest networks (all are WPA-Personal protected) but I have restricted those from accessing the intranet as they are primarily for guests who come by, so that is not really a viable option.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems strange that it attempts to connect and save these networks, so technically, I shouldn't have to do anything to keep the phone from connecting. However, since it insists, I had thought that Android would have a native (not requiring an app) method of blacklisting these networks. I have looked at apps such as WiFi Ruler, but again would've thought that there is a manual way of doing this. (I don't know if this is obvious by virtue of the fact that I am running a custom ROM, but the phone is rooted.)
Thanks!

used this code and off your wifi power saving mode and try *#0011# select wifi..u may need need press the botom left button to select wifi

Very odd. It seems that since installing CM12.1, my device no longer accepts or recognizes USSD codes. I guess I hadn't noticed since I had rooted and unlocked it prior to flashing Cyanogenmod over the stock ROM. I did some reading and I found that there is a patch to enable those codes (and SMS) on CDMA models of the Note 2. However, mine is LTE and does SMS, MMS, and it uses LTE without issue.
Here is a link to that page:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/112400-solution-to-sms-and-ussd-code-on-cm121-cm12-cm11-cm10/
Is this something anyone else has experienced? Should I follow the instructions on that page and install the patch?
Again, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-i317M but since the installation of CM12.1 the About Phone > Device model reports it as being a GT-N7105 with a Baseband Version I317MVLUDNH2.
I'd really like to try the solution to my WiFi problem, so if anyone else has had experience with the USSD codes not working please let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks!

To update my last post:
Some USSD codes do work, I watched the pop ups more closely this time and there is one before the "...invalid MMI code" that says "USSD code running". The main one that find interesting no longer works is the one I had used to unlock my phone *#197328640#. I had figured that it would not have disappeared simply by installing Cyanogenmod. Further, I also followed that thread I had posted the link to a little further, and I'm not comfortable flashing the "patch" it leads to as I cannot confirm it's original source and it does sound like it may be another full ROM.
