[Q] Three UK 4G update on alternative ROM? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am currently running a non H3G ROM on my Note 2 LTE.
As Three UK are pushing out 4G to London users, I wondered if I would need to be on an official Three UK ROM for it to happen?
As I understand it, a message is sent to the phone and a reboot is then required for 4G to be activated.
Does anyone know?
I would call Three, but they are shocking with the easiest of questions - so I think this would blow their mind.
Many thanks!

Hi
I not in london but in cardiff and h3g were testing 4g and no message or reboot was needed.
I am on stock rom 4.1.2

Thanks for the info, but I want to know about non standard ROMs.
Out of curiosity, what speeds did you achieve on 4G?

Signal still a bit weak but looks promising

Hi Kieron,
Im running 4.1.2 baseband version N7105NEDMA1 Build number JZ054K.N7105XXDMB2 and have a N7105 LTE on Three UK, and am awaiting 4G to become active
I would just like to confirm this is what you are using as you have confirmed 4G Is working for you - or if anyone else has THREE 4G working on their N7105 what their baseband and build number is so that i can confirm im running the correct one to receive the update? Many thanks

It doesn't matter what ROM you are using I've found out.
There is no software update or any other change to the phone, an update is done on the network side only.
Mine switched on without notification or reboot.
Very strong in Central London and 40MB down and 20MB up.
You just need to wait your turn sadly.

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

I have also started facing the same issue in Vodafone mumbai. Network drops all the time and says no service or emergency call only. But other cards like idea and Tata Docomo are working great in my gnex.
I have tried different radios but no success. What can I possibly try next. Advice needed...
Hey, even I am facing these issues and I think it is cause of problems in vodafone only... did u try Vodafone sim in other phone?
I am using ugll1 baseband. It seems yo be better so far...

[Q] Will I bricking my phone

I want to install the official UVDLJA T-Mobile Rom on my Galaxy S3 and then install Frosty Jb. I have the T999v of Videotron one. Will my phone gonna be bricked or not? And my network gonna work also?
Thank you
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You're doomed bro. Turn back immediately.
Should be fine as long as you dont change your modem. I suggest you use mobile odin and unselect the modem. I did this with my t999v wind mobile and its fine.
I asked the same question with similar responses. But could those that had success maybe give a bit more detail on how they managed to odin the TMO stock? It passes the md5 but then fails when flashing, I have flashed numerous times in odin with no problem. Maybe an obvious requirement I am not aware of (stock recovery stock download or some such thing)
Thanks for the answer. I have another question. Before I turn to Frosty, my mobile network was only 3G and H+ but now with frosty, its only the 4G icon. So with frosty im on real 4g or its only a "fake" icon?

T-Mobile has no real 4g. Some roms are coded to just show E and 4g for 3g, H, and H+, while other roms break it down more

[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

Your current provider has no bearings on the menu options, so the option will not change.

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 for the late reply guys.
I installed a German Vodafone 4.1.2 rom from samfirmware which gave me the option to choose LTE, GSM, WCDMA then I put my mates Telstra 4g sim and 4g worked great. When. I was in 4g areas the 4g symbol showed on top and speeds were awesome. Now all we need is Vodafone to hurry up.

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

Signal bars problem and dropping calls

Am I the only one having problems with dropped calls and signal? In my room it never used to drop to no service but after I flashed an international rom it did? Anyone experiencing this or have any advice?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
No not that kind of problem. However I have noticed the new lte is always cutting out when it switches from 4g to lte and back. Imo I think this whole new lte thing needs to be ironed out. I get better luck with shutting lte off from the sett8ng menu.

I have as well, when I previously had full bars on my Nexus 4 it drops to one or no bars, happened on stock and on CM, I've heard the old baseband may fix it, but no one has been able to pull a working version yet. I'm hoping they ever push an updated radio or something soon, I love the phone, but not having service is quite annoying.

i dont think its the roms, i think its between the modem and tmobile switching/migrating/upgrading to LTE and them having some slight issues.
It might be because I've only noticed the bad signal after flashing an international rom

What APN are you using? I'm using the fast t-mobile APN. LTE works perfect?
Edit. I would agree with xeonox

N5120XXCMH2 UK No 4G ??

Hi
My device came from HK, with the 4.1.2 HK firmware. I updated it via ODIN to the the UK 4.2.2 MH1 firmware. On both of these firmwares, 4G worked just fine.
I then updated to MH2 by Kies as it offered to update the device. My 4G stopped working.
Has anyone else had issues with EE 4G in the UK on an N5120 running UK 4.2.2 MH2 firmware?
Nigel
dumb answer...But did you try restarting the device?
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
Aye, restarted many times! and reselecting the network manually (rather than autosearch). Fixed now. Fix is to goto settings - more settings - mobile networks - network mode then change it from LTE to something else I.e WCDMA let it find the network, then change it back to LTE again, then it finds LTE network.

I would suggest, using mobile odin, flashing the working 4.2.2 MH1 firmware, but removing all the data but the modem. since the MH1 modem worked on your providers 4G it should work just as well on MH2. Then you would not have to redo the procedure of choosing WCDMA. Or did it fix the problem completely so that you still have 4G after reboots etc?
I always flash with Mobile Odin and i am still on my 4.1.2 modem that came with the N5120 when it was new.
My 4G also stopped working after i flashed 4.2.2, but reverting back to the old and known modemdrivers did it for me, and since there are no swedish release of 4.2.2 yet i will keep my old 4.1.2 modem for the time beeing

Thanks to the replies. I just bought a UK N5120 frpom Three. Decent deal £370 and one month rolling contract 1GB data £7.50.
Unfortunately I think the sim is data only and although the dialer works the network voice tells me I cant make calls. I'll have to try a payg sim to see if dialing works.
