I'd like to ask UK T-Mobile users which is the best option to pick under the Defy Baseband settings.
I think I am using the United Kingdom T-Mobile 2.51.1 option at the moment but when my signal switches to the T-Mobile Orange signal I lose my 3G/HSPA signal therefore losing all internet connections.

Does anyone else on T-Mobile suffer this? Is there a better option to pick in the Baseband setting?

Thanks

I get the same thing on my Desire (CM7.1 with Data Roaming and National Data Roaming options ticked under Settings, Wireless & Networks) - data works fine when on the T-mobile network (I'm a T-mobile customer) but then when it switches to T-mobile Orange the data connection is dropped. Phone calls and texts still go through as usual, but even when I go back onto the T-mobile network the data connection is not restored and I have to go into Airplane mode and then out again to enable it.

Is there any way I can pin down why this problem is happening? A previous thread on this topic in the forums just went backwards and forwards with some people saying they had no problem and no problem solving steps being offered other than to check that data roaming and national data roaming were ticked in the Wireless & Network settings.

Sometimes, also, the Android browser will be able to browse webpages while Dolphin HD will not. This problem is nowhere near as consistent as the above, though.

Defy T-mobile Uk optimal baseband settings

Just thought I would add, I'm also seeing this behaviour on reconnecting to T-mobile Orange data. Looks like they are still merging the networks.

Does anybody have an update on the best baseband to select?

I am on CM 7.2 Kang Cherry picks defy plus with GB kernel.

Thanks

Why not try a few. Start with the highest number (4...)
Could be the fault of the network. You can always try to send a mail about this to t-mobile for more info.
