3G Internet Issue

I just saw that early today was added a Fastboot Package for Claro Argentina (Milestone 3 XT860) in this thread: [Fastboot Files] Gingerbread 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 for UMTS XT860 Milestone 3 (Can't link, sorry).
Here is my problem: two weeks ago I was able to access internet from my XT860 using 3G from my house, but since the 24th of December I'm not able to (2G - EDGE works good). I don't know why. If I move two blocks away from my house I have perfect reception and I can use 3G data without any problems. I already took the phone no customer's service and they gave it back to me with another blur version but still it doesn't work. I'm making almost daily calls to Claro but they don't do anything.
Currently I'm using: 2.3.4 with 5.1.790. Should I expect any change if I flash the new files?
Thank you for your help.

That sounds more like a problem with their network. I don't know why your device would selectivly not work just at your house. That's an odd software bug.

I don't know what's going on but it's weird for me too. Anyway I'm going to flash the new firmware with RSD. First time doing this with Android, any tips?

Make sure your battery is fully charged, recently another user borked his phone as it died during flashing. I have a thread called xt860, custom roms and you that has a full guide on fastboot flashing, rooting and custom roms

Well, I've already successfully flashed the new firmware but the problem is still there. That's it, I have no clue on what to do next. Thank you for your support anyway.

I think its with their network, or perhaps physical interference from something nearby. I can't think of why it would selectivly not work only at your house if it was a hardware/software issue it would be either all the time or totally random. Try mapping out the area where it cuts in/out and report it to your carrier.

I've already reported it. Several times. But they just answer "the computer shows that the antenna is working fine, you shouldn't have any troubles". I call every day to complain about it but they just don't do anything.

[Q]XT860 Radio Image

Is there a XT860 Radio Image or sbf / fastboot file that
will work on gsm (U.S. Bands, I.E. T-Mobile)?
instead of the chinese one, you know!

We have fastboot files from Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. All of these will work on an XT860 and GSM bands. Check out this thread for details and downloads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370721
As far as I know, these will not give you H+, only 3G speeds. Currently the only way to have H+ on an XT860 is to be on the Bell Firmware, which we do NOT yet have an SBF for.
Hope that helps.

As far as I know the best you can do with T-Mobile is edge speeds due to them using a band neither device ca use. I wish you the best of luck, if you succeed im sure others would be interested in your results

Thanks!! we'll see how it goes

T-Mobile uses 1700 MHz for its 3G. These phones do not have compatibility with that frequency. This is what I was trying to tell you before, when I said T-Mobile's 4G is not compatible: it's the same exact network. 3G=4G, only they call it 4G when your phone is capable of greater speeds due to more advanced radio technology, not a different frequency.
T-Mobile only uses 1900 MHz for Edge, and 2100 won't work because it's 4G only, and won't work if you don't also have access to 1700, which is for both 3G and 4G. I hope this makes sense.
I'm glad you made your own thread to deal with this issue, and I hope I am wrong and that someone more knowledgeable comes along and corrects me and tells us all how to make it work. If you figure it out I will apologize as well. However, I just want it to be clear that no one who has made gsm work on the D3 has been able to (let alone interested in) getting 3G/4G to work on T-Mobile. I have assumed it is because it's an incompatibility problem between the hardware of these phones and the network you're trying to use.
Even if you had an xt860, it wouldn't work on 3G on T-Mobile, so using their radio.img and build.prop won't help on the xt862. Just because you can flash them doesn't mean they will work.
By all means, please post results and let me know if I'm wrong. As I said, I would prefer to be wrong in this case, but I don't think I am.
By the way, the xt883 radio.img shouldn't change the functionality of the phone beyond letting it connect to gsm in the US. I really don't see what your gripe is with it. Not that I'm offended or something; who cares. But I use it every day and haven't seen any results worth frowning over, let alone trying to switch to the xt860's which is not at all compatible with CDMA.

That's how i've understood it, our devices lack the 1700 band. It will work on t-mobile network, but only at edge speeds. I do believe this has been tried. I also don't think an xt860 radio.img will work as expected on an xt862, but i wish him the best of luck. I would like to use t-mobile when i travel to the states, they have a really good pay per day plan compared to others i looked at(although for a week at a time i can live with edge speeds). and yes, xt860 is GSM only if the flash does work there will be no CDMA functionality

Open in a Hex Editor to compare. I don't think they are the same... I took apart all of the files in the latest Bell update with no success, as well I tried dd'ing all of the different partition blocks to my phone just before sending it into the shop to get Bell firmware re-loaded onto it and didn't get any luck... in the end it was basically an encrypted bootloader problem.
If we can get the phone bootloader-unlocked we *might* be able to use some of the dd images that were created (I have each partition from bell 2.3.4) flashed through RSD then do the upgrade to the latest Bell, which overwrites the radio and boot partitions...
Let me know if anybody is interested in them. Please note, they the whole partitions and have extra padding on them. Also, I think I missed /preinstall, but I can't remember.
I created a new thread for this... again it's the original Bell stuff 2.3.4. I can probably do the same thing for the current Firmware as well.
Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449027 for the 2.3.4 dd images

So... did anyone try the XT860 radio on the XT862?

Can this device the 4G one work on tmobile Hugh speed network?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Probably not. T-Mobile's and ATTs 3g bands were different frequencies (1700mhz vs 850/1900). However, in some places T-mobile has started to use 1900mhz and unlocked ATT devices will work. This seems to be random right now and even T-mobile support may not be able to tell you where.
Or you can do what I did, and get nrvate's CM10 build for the i957 (I'm a noob so no links for me yet) then flash this radio: Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip (Google it). I get full HSPA+ and have clocked DL speeds up to 19000kbs. Of course YMMV, and no guarantees that it will work for you, won't brick your tab or kill your pets.

Yeah it works well with the only problem being the power usage is rather high, and drains faster in idle. After looking at logcat I think this radio doesn't go into idle mode properly so keeps sucking power when not in use. Running it's a little less usage (maybe 30 min less) but on idle it drains in 24 hrs. Turning off 3g helps but for me I can live with this to get 20mb down. When ICS for the i957 finally shows up it should be possible to see a better radio get put in CM10 (which is still in early development, but that's what the ROM below is based on).
I'm using TWRP for recovery. After Clockwork being kind of wonky I have seen the light and use TWRP on all my devices. It just works.
The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867579 and go to post#2. There are some issues but it runs remarkably well for being like 3 weeks old.
This is the radio I used from a Galaxy SII. Google Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip and get it from Dev Host. I found out about it looking at radios for similar hardware and found that the Note is close so I took a chace and did it. So far so good!

This is great to hear. I am going to hold off for now, as I would have to open a TMobile account, and I really dont NEED to have this until I start traveling in a few months.
Now what would be AMAZING, is if somehow this tablet could work on verizon. I have a huge corporate account with them and it would cost me next to nothing to add the tablet to the account, assuming it would work. I didn't think it was possible, but then again, I didn't think TMobile high speed connection was possible either.
Any idea if there is a way to get this working on verizon? Or if anyone is even trying?

I can tell you that is impossible. T-Mobile uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. You can only put a SIM card device on GSM carriers (TMO and ATT).

I could not tell you as T-Mobile doesn't have LTE yet. TMO will use a band that the i957 can support, but it will probably take another radio (if any) to work. I've seen 21mb down from HSPA+ so even if I never see LTE I can't be too disappointed

As I said that is impossible because the carriers use incompatible setups. SIM card carriers (GSM) will only work with other SIM card carriers. Verizon uses CDMA with no SIM cards. The networks themselves are completely different and hardware cannot be hacked to work. Most of the world uses GSM with SIM cards and if you travel overseas, you'll need a GSM device to use unlocked devices on any networks. Blame Verizon for picking a standard that 80% of the world doesn't use

[Q] What can I do with Developer edit. and...?

Hi all,
I'm waiting patiently for my 64gb developer phone which I should be getting next week. In the meantime I've been combing through the forums trying to get as much information as I can regarding the developer's edition HTC One. When I think I got the answer I'm looking for I see something else that makes me think another way. With this thread I'm hoping to get answers in one place to avoid confusion. Someone please educate me on this phone.
1. Will I be able to get 4G LTE, and or HSPA+?
2. Unlocked bootloader means I can flash roms but not kernels? How will I know which roms/kernels are the correct ones to flash for the dev edition?
3. Has anyone achieved s-off yet and if so which method is the best and easiest?
4. Tmo is going to be my carier. Whats this about Non Tmo devices needing the Tmobile 4GLTE APN added to the phone to connect to 4G LTE? Does this mean I don't have LTE (I guess it related to 1st question). And how do I add the tmo 4gLTE APN?
5. How does insurance work with unlocked phones and who do I get it from?
Sorry for all these questions. I'm fascinated and I want to be a developer one day so I'm trying to find my way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

4. Put in the SIM should be auto or just Google it

I am still struggling, some people say that you will never get 3g, but yes on 4g, some other says that you will never get both of them since you are Tmobile. I can tell you, I have Tmobile wiht my HTC One Dev edition and I am getting HSDPA, and I pretty happy wiht that, but I am also worried why we are not getting 4G, so I also have started reading about that, the specs are almost the same, but it looks like the problem is the radio installed in the dev edition. So it look like if some dev are able to pull the radio out of the Tmobile HTC One version and try to adapt it or maybe directly installed in out dev edition it will work. I heard this a couple of days ago from another topic in this forum.
Good luck:good:

So 4glte runs on AWS 1700 and dev version doesn't support it unless a developer figures out how to flash it on the dev phone. Do you think that possibility is high? Thanks for the info.

Wow... when you say neither that's pretty scary. I certainly hope that's not the case. I live in NJ in a 1900 rich area. I really do hope we can get LTE and hspa+. I told my wife we are getting 4g with these new phones but I guess I read wrong. We're coming from Sprint so even if we get hspa+ it's a major improvement.

So I heard that the problem with dev version is that it has the compatibility built in hardware, but the radio which comes with the dev version doesn't support it, the problem here is that I don't know if flashing the radio from Tmobile HTC one will brick our phone.
If some developer could come to the thread and give us some answer, I don't have enough knowledge about how radios works.

You can flash it without bricking, but based on a thread in here that it doesn't work. There might be addition files other than the radio or something.

I suspect that we are going to need S-Off in order to get this working, assuming that there is not in fact some hardware difference between the dev and TMO versions. I've read the threads, but I don't know where they get their information. I have not seen anything from HTC on which hardware is in the various phones.

I have not either, but based on current information to go by that's all we have. I think the only way we could tell for sure is a complete tear down of each model, but so far that has not been accomplished. If there are any variations in the hardware we'd see them and could say "It isn't going to work". If there is no difference then it has to be software/firmware thing.

I'm an Ericsson(Sprint) tech (Since 2000) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My phone is unlocked (Via HTC unlock), had TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed, and is running stock other than that. Rooted with SuperSU
I recently got an HTC ONE and found two odd things:
1. After flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251788 , and Power Toggles from the Play store, my Bluetooth audio would go away. The call still connects to the BT headset, but no audio. A stock rom re-flash takes care of that issue 100%. Semi-noob lesson learned, back up BEFORE trying new mods.
2. This phone will not connect to 4G LTE. (more detail to come)
I have tried all the obvious choices: Reflash/Reset, make sure CMDA/LTE mode is set, even changed my LTE Next Timer to 5 from 300 in the ##DATA# screen. I even called employee care and verified that my UICC ID is properly set on the account.
Of course, the local store employees have no idea what to tell me.
I exchanged that brand-new HTC ONE for another brand new handset yesterday. It exhibits the very same exact issues.
This morning on the drive to work, it briefly connected to 4G LTE for a speedtest and I haven't seen LTE since.
For those of you who will say "Yes, but you're in a pre-launch market." I hear you. My response to that is that I physically work on the NV sites. I can take a cabinet key and open the cell site up to verify operation. I am testing this standing UNDER or a few feet away from a NV site running 1900mhz LTE, and my company-issued test LTE phone (different model) is picking up LTE no problem. In fact, I'm so close my download speeds are approaching 30mbps.
I've been lurking here for a while but wanted to see what the community thinks. Did I get TWO faulty handsets, or is there something I'm missing? I still have 1.5 weeks to exchange for yet another handset if I need to.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Disclaimer, these are my own opinions, and not those of Ericsson or Sprint in any way.

I'm pretty sure BT audio is a known issue in most custom ROMs.
Look up "Force LTE" in the Sprint forums. See if that changes anything. (You might have already done this, though)
EDIT: Dial *#*#4636#*#* and change it to LTE only and if that works, LTE + CDMA. If that works, try CDMA/EVDO/LTE (default).
BTW: Where is said tower in San Jose? I live there (here?) and I rarely get LTE signals (but I do).

Forcing LTE only didn't seem to help.
Here's my plan for tomorrow:
1. Drive to official LTE launch market
2. Test for LTE connection with phone as-is
3. If LTE=YES, happy camper
4. If LTE=NO, run the RUU to flash everything back stock (I know I shouldn't need this, but I'm grasping at straws here)
5. Test for LTE after RUU is complete.
6. If LTE=YES, happy camper
7. If LTE=NO, exchange for a black Sprint HTC ONE (Have Silver now). Maybe there's a bad few in a row.
I'll post tomorrow with results.

Also, to be clear, I'm NOT on a custom ROM. I'm on the Stock Sprint ROM, just unlocked and rooted.

I have had better luck with setting my network mode to automatic instead of cdma/lte ... I live In the Fremont area I see tons of areas light up with LTE now ..
But once I get to my house or my shop for work I have nothing lol.

There are a lot of people working really hard to get launched. Glad you're seeing some of that paying off.
I've been going into panic mode with my personal HTC One. I had a horrible experience directly with Samsung on my Galaxy SII. I was hoping to just pick this up and see the heavens open and the light shine down lol.
That hasn't been my experience thus far I'm jealous of all of you happy modders going crazy on this beautiful device. I hope to join you soon

You will soon .. I blame most of it on the network. I know you guys are working hard to get it done. I live in union city and and I have been roaming for the past 2 weeks which really sucks ... I have been forced to use roam control and change my prl to have better roaming ... It sucks to say that I am currently roaming on to metro pcs and have great connection both voice and data lolololol

Well, here's my results:
1. Drive to official LTE launch market DONE
2. Test for LTE connection with phone as-is NO LTE NEXT TO TOWER IN LAUNCHED MARKET
3. If LTE=YES, happy camper NOT A HAPPY CAMPER
4. If LTE=NO, run the RUU to flash everything back stock (I know I shouldn't need this, but I'm grasping at straws here) FLASHED
5. Test for LTE after RUU is complete. NO LTE
6. If LTE=YES, happy camper NOT A HAPPY CAMPER
7. If LTE=NO, exchange for a black Sprint HTC ONE (Have Silver now). Maybe there's a bad few in a row. CALLING TO EXCHANGE NOW
So frustrating. It worked for one connection the morning I got it and then nothing.
Maybe I'll ask for a black ONE just in the hopes that it came from a different production run.
I really want to like this phone, its beautiful. But this will now be my third brand-new handset.

Black HTC One all the way! With any luck you just got two lemons. That's pretty awful luck though, and kind of crazy. Maybe you need to sit on top of the tower.

>Getting my climbing gear out now< LOL
Black ONE is on the way.
Should I just leave the bootloader saying "Re-locked" or go through the dance to get it back to saying "locked?"
I sent the first dud back "Re-locked" as the guys in the store didn't seem to care at all. I guess it's probably no big deal.
I have done very minimal identical items to both phones:
1. Unlock via HTC /Fastboot
2. Install TWRP 2.5 into Recovery via Fastboot
3. Install SuperSU by following the prompts from TWRP 2.5
4. Installed the 3-button mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251788 via TWRP 2.5
5. Installed "Power Toggles" from the Google Play store. (After this step on each phone, Bluetooth would connect, but no audio. I also never saw LTE work again)
6. Reflashed the official RUU after things aren't working.
You guys are all pro modders, is there any step here that would stand out to you as potentially damaging to getting 4G LTE or maybe hurting the radio file somehow? I see everyone having a field day modding and flashing custom ROMs, now I'm scared to do even the basics for fear that somethings going on behind the scenes.
I've got to go do some actual work now. I'll post an update when the Black ONE comes in.

I have had the same problem of LTE not connecting anywhere. I have done the same things as you, including installing power toggles. If I remember correctly, I believe my LTE quit working after installing it as well. I find it hard to believe that the power toggles app could be the culprit, but it's a possibility I guess.

Hmm...weird. Before and after I rooted my phone and installed TWRP 2.5 with Super SU and left my phone "as-is" I fortunately have always had LTE in the downtown Hayward area.
I've been able to flash custom roms and not really have any issues other than those related to the Rom itself. Hopefully you really did just have bad luck...maybe buy a lottery ticket? Lol.
Good luck with your next One!
Hope it works out for you!

The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is that after I run the RUU to restore everything, you'd think the issue would be fixed right?

Well look at this everyone...does this sound familiar?
From: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...scuss-All-Related-Questions-Here-ONLY/page509
"UPDATE: awww, one of those 2g/3g toggle widgets permanetly turned off the LTE radio. Yesterday I could see LTE from Tmo, ATT, Cricket, and MetroPCS. Today all LTE options are gone. When I go into *#*#4636#*#* I can re-select LTE/GSM/WCDMA as a preferred network, but when manually searching for network the phone still can't see any LTE. Power cycling the phone, the field goes back to "GSM auto (PRL)", does anyone know how to make the preferred network stick with LTE without changing back in this hidden menu? What should be in this preferred network blank? and how do you make it stick? anyone?"

Yeah you would think so. I have ran the RUU on 2 seperate occasions just to make sure and still no LTE. I will probably just end up trying to exchange it for another one and hope the new one holds up better.

Now we just need one more brave soul to test power toggles to see if it really is a problem. If it is, contact the dev and tell 'em to declare it incompatible with this device!

I agree. If this app is causing this kind if an issue with the One, we need to verify and make sure that nobody else installs it. Maybe someone has a One that they are about to exchange for a different issue would be willing to test this theory for us.

I don't know about the 2G/3G facet of it (simply because it's never been noted as compatible with my device in Power Toggles), but I've used this app for a long time and I pull LTE quite comfortably.

Update: called Sprint about the issue and they notified my local Sprint store that when I brought my phone in, they were to exchange it for a new One (not refurbished) at no cost. They were out of stock and I should be receiveing it Saturday or Monday
