[Q] Find Baseband Version - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've read through several threads now and haven't understand or found a way to fix my problem.
My original problem was, that the signal strength of my S4 Mini LTE (I9195) was way too strong, so that it interfered heavily with speakers in even 2m distance. I now think that I installed the Cyanogenmod Firmware without looking at the baseband version.
So now I'd like to know, if there was a way to get a fairly recent cyanogenmod (4.4.2 or later) with baseband version for Europe/Germany. (which i don't know)

we've a baseband thread in the general s4 mini forum, there are several basebands, you could change them. this doesn't depend on the rom

Signal issue with IMM76I baseband and XXLA2 radio.

Hi all,
like the title I'm experiencing big issue with my Galaxy Nexus, brand-new with Android 4.0.4 baseband IMM76I and XXLA2 radio.
I searched a lot of different thread here. From one side it seems that some people experiencing the famous signal issue caused by moving from the official 4.0.2 to the old 4.0.4 were able to fix it thanks to the IMM76I. On the other side, in some other threads, it seems that others are still experiencing this issue.
My question is, was the last 4.0.4 IMM76I update really useful to overcome lost signal issues?
As I said I never updated my phone (it was already 4.0.4 IMM76I XXLA2 ) but inside my home I'm not able to get the signal from the standard phone network! Outisde I'm having a signal wich is way less than the one I had with my old gs2. Moreover the signal strength seems to be always low (-111DB to 90 DB) even outside.
How can I fix this problem? Could it be an harware defect? Any help will be really appreciated.
Hard to say without further testing... I'd suggest that you try a different radio version to see what happens. Personally I'm still on XXKK6 (the one that came with my phone) running JB and no issues so far, so you could try that one. Or try the new JB one (XXLF1), which should also work with ICS.

Yeah probably is worth to give a try first with installing JB (with also its radio) and some other ones. Where are you from, Europe I suppose since you are using XXKK6 right? So with that no signal issues?
Yeah I'm in Europe. Basically when I got my phone a couple of months ago, I immediately unlocked the bootloader and flashed AOKP , so I never got any of the OTA's with the new radio versions.
I've not run into any signal issues with this radio, most places it works great. I don't see a reason to update as long as it's working .
Just updated to JB, with baseband XXLF1. In my home the signal is in range of -100 -110 db. With my old gs2 I'm experiencing 87-97. Crap!
So it is an hw issue? Which is the signal strength that you guys are experiencing on yours gnex? I'm starting to think that I need to send the phone to repair... is still under warranty...

[Q] CM10.1 Increase Bluetooth signal

hello,
I flashed cm 10.1 some days ago, it works pretty fine, one thing I found out,
is that the bluetooth signal strengh seems worse then as I had in the Stock Rom.
I have a LiveView Device I got working pretty good with Stock 4.1.2, in CM 10.1 I get
often disconnects and it struggles on the reconnects too.
Is there a way to increase the power of the bluetooth signal about the same level as in stock?
cheers Avalun

CM has had bluetooth issues for as long as I can remember. There isn't much you can do, except not use it.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone but can't you find alternative radios to flash? This would affect WiFi, basic cellular reception/call quality, and Bluetooth. That's what I've read in multiple threads on here.

Flashing a Radio does affect bluetooth too? Nice, I thought that is only for GSM stuff.
I got my S3 from T-Mobile in Austria(EU), so is the Hardware compatible with the Radio from T-Mobile in the USA?
I read some threads, where people destroyed their phones because, they flashed them with incompatible radios, so I am a bit afraid of that
Edit:
Oh I see i am in the wrong board, T Mobile in Austria ships the GT-I9300 and USA the T-999.
Which troll ships different chipsets of the same device in the same company
I couldn't say for sure if flashing the modems would have any affect on BT. Itd make sense, but it being such a short range tech anyway, I doubt it'd make any noticeable difference.
I doubt it'd have any affect at all on any CM related BT problems. Every modem so far has worked fine for it on stock, so it would more likely be a purely rom issue.

Okay I see, is that only a CM issue, or does that occur with all 4.2.X Roms? Perhaps the radio doesn't work so well with 4.2?
All 4.2 roms are cm/aosp based as far as I'm aware.

[Q] Low signal SGS GT I9000

Hi!
I'm using a gt i9000 and since i've installed PA there's a very low signal in WIFI and data.
As PA isn't come with a modem, I would like to know if there's a good idea to install one of them, and of course, "which one", since there's so little information about modems in the Net.
By the way:
I have NetCom Norway
Base band version I9000XXJVT
Kernel 3.0.101-Semaphore_JB_3.3.0
PA 3.99-RC2
Thanks for helping
This is device and location specific so you should ask in your device forum

which firmware best reception?

Hi all,
I have firmware NF2 as base, with Vanir Kitkat flashed on top of a reparted file system.
All works fine, but one thing I noticed.
Reception is not so good. While other phones have reception, this phone often doesn't.
I have the feeling reception went worse when I upgraded to the last official NF2.
I can't really compare as I have only 1 Ace 2, but how is your experience with this?
Did you notice changing firmware and baseband that reception went better or worse?
Which firmware do you guys advise which gives a good reception?

software version impact on signal strength and connectivity?

Recently purchased a used sprint note 4... And I'm in love. I had a s5 that was dying a slow death. I love the spen and larger screen... This is indeed the perfect phone!
When I purchased the phone, it was on base qb3. I was having problems with root/rom/sms and I flopped around for a while.
Currently on base pg1 with a stock (mod) 6.0.1 rom.
I've been having problems with signal dropping, occasionally missed sms/mms and poor connectivity.
My question is..
How much of an influence does the base have on signal reliability? I have searched around and I can't seem to find d a solid answer.
Which 'modem' provides the best/stable connection?

I can't say from experience or speak for everyone else. But 2 people i know personally like PK1. But i think that has more to do with being friendly with more custom roms.

Thanks for your input!
I'm hoping someone might now if the base software has any impact on the strength of the antenna... ie - how good/stable the phone connects to sprint.
On pg1, I'm seeing dropped signals without valid explanation. (places my s5 had great signal... Note 4 is barely connecting)
Wanted to follow up...
Went from mm to nougat (lineageos) to mm.... Finally went to lollipop.
Baseband does have a direct impact on signal strength/reliability.
While the note 4 is inferior to the signal strength on my previous s5 (same spots at work, etc)... Going down to lollipop has eliminated dead spots I was experiencing in mm.
Interesting find. I was on pj1, i got decent lte signal in my room at home. When i leave for work i roam, which sucks, but whenever i come back from work I'm stuck on 3g. 3g for days. Pk1 seems to have gotten the lte to stick... I'll know more when i go to work tomorrow.
