DEFY 3G in India with CM9

[adityamalik]

I have a defy (green lens) running cm9 (9-SKANK-defy)

:crying: I recently bought a 3g plan from Vodafone and noticed that I would get 3G at home but not at office. My colleague with an iphone 4 would get perfect 3g (also on Vodafone) at office.

I tried:
-Every baseband in both the CM9 baseband switched as well as Itzfun
-*#*#4636#*#* and setting band to WCDMA only, WCDMA preferred
- Changing between multiple CM9 ROMs

but to no avail. :crying:

:fingers-crossed: I finally ran into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 by adlx.xda which had supposed 3g fixes for India (amongst other countries) attached. However the zip file did not run in CWM as it used an older amend-script format. A little xda-googling later I found how to put the files into the new script format.

However, after flashing the zip, still EDGE :-( . But then I again went into *#*#4636#*#* and changed band to WCDMA only.

:laugh: VOILA!!! 3G!! REJOICE!!! Now I don't know if this is a colossal coincidence or the fix worked. I'm posting the zip here anyway. Maybe it might help someone.

p.s. - This is my first post - kindly guide me if I've got some arcana of etiquette wrong

instead of all that u can go to settings-advanced-baseband selection
then select Asia then south east Asia and then 3.4.3-311


PS:Vodafone is too costly!(Don't know about new 3G plans...)

SEA baseband didn't help

instead of all that u can go to settings-advanced-baseband selection

Yup, that's what I figured first. But tried that to no avail. In fact all of them.

The issue might be newer baseband switching which some times does not d anything at all!!

U should keep the older BBS v4 (baseband switcher)
Search it on xda

Hold on... does an 'H' mean 3G?

H = HSDPA

HSDPA it's an update of 3G (UMTS)

 

[sixaxis94]

I usually get H but sometimes I get '3G'.. I can't really make out a difference in speed, but which one' s faster?

H is theoretically much faster. For a while some companies tried to call it 4G but some politics later they were forced to call it 3G+
