hi Gurus, 

Posting on behalf of a friend here. 

He is using a sprint Note 4 and have issues getting Incoming SMS  in CDMA.

It works with GSM also without any issues. 

Can any one throw some light on the SMS issues with cdma ? ... Please help.

Dear friends,

I bought this Haier E718 handset from snapdeal and using this for the past 3 months. Actually I bought this handset for my mother but seeing it's amazing voice clarity, good signal capturing and good battery backup, I gave my ZTE N919D to my mother (her secondary phone and using rarely) and I took this handset for me.

Yes, believe me friends, this is the best voice clarity handset I have ever seen, I used, MTS Blaze 4, MTS Blaze 4.5, MTS Blaze 5 (ZTE N919D), HTC Desire XC, Xiaomi Redmi 1s CDMA, LG Volt LS740  etc. comparing to these handsets, this Haier E718 handset gives superb voice clarity with loud volume. So I can talk in noisy roads, fast moving vehicles without any hearing difficulty. In other words if your purpose is CDMA voice calling this is the best phone for you. Earpiece volume is crisp and clear with sufficient loud volume, better than the above handsets I had mentioned. No overheating, touch is smooth, no lagging, overall highly recommended for calling purpose.

Seller : Snapdeal.com

Price : Rs. 6245/-

Shipping : Through BlueDart courier to Kerala, received on the 4^th day of order.

Packing : No extra protective box packing. Handset box was covered in snapdeal brand paper and plastic cover. Total size and weight of package was small.

Accessories in the box : Charger with USB cable, headset, booklet, warranty card and a free screen protector.

Phone Appearance : Good looking

Build quality :  satisfactory, but compared to "HTC Desire XC CDMA" it is poor.

Display : Avarage 4.5 inch with 480 x 854 Pixels. Best size to keep in  pants pocket

Camera : Avarage

Speakers : Good

Perfomance : Avarage

CDMA Signal Capturing : Best

Battery backup : Good (only 1750mAh but I am getting 2 days with moderate call use, LG Volt LS740 is best in the above given list)

Ringer Volume : Good. Loud and clear

SIM Size : regular R-UIM and regular SIM. No need to cut short.

No Flip cover or screen protector are available in the market.

Ordinary plastic screen protector is included in the box.

If tempered glass protector is required you can try "Xolo One"  tempered glass protector, length is exact but breadth is 1 to 2 mm smaller (http://www.amazon.in/DEFENDER-Shatterproof-Protector-Disinfectant-Xolo/dp/B00SWSLYSO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426368757&sr=8-2&keywords=xolo+one+tempered+glass)

If flip cover is required you can try "Xolo q800" flip cover. Needs some alterations, Volume key and Mini USB port cut with paper knife, speaker hole can make with hot soldering iron and lower extra length of back plate can be reduced by showing the lower (bottom) portion of backplate in hot heater or flame and folding the plastic inwards when it becomes soft. Call can accept or reject without opening the flip cover. Name or number can be seen through the square window. (http://www.amazon.in/Iway-Table-Caller-Cover-BLACK/dp/B00P0YMYUU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426323964&sr=8-3&keywords=xolo+q800+flip+cover)

(One picture shows comparison of size with LG Volt and ZTE N919D. One picture with the above mentioned flipcover. Applied screen protector is different than mentioned)

ro.wifi.hotspotUI=0
ro.bt.tetheringUI=0
ro.usb.tetheringUI=0

To:
 

ro.wifi.hotspotUI=1
ro.bt.tetheringUI=1
ro.usb.tetheringUI=1

SAVE.

Then edit /system/customize/ACC/default.xml 
change these lines: (if you can edit with an editor that shows line #'s they're lines 191,194,867)
 

<item type="boolean" name="tethering_guard_support">true</item>
<item type="integer" name="tethering_support_ipv6">0</item>
<item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">3</item>

to:
 

<item type="boolean" name="tethering_guard_support">false</item>
<item type="integer" name="tethering_support_ipv6">1</item>
<item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">0</item>

STEP 8 : Disable Hands Free Activation

Try renaming HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk  Which is located at /system/app/ to HtcOMADM_SPCSOLD.apk. But doing this you may get vdm client stopped error.

  Congrats, we're done!  

Hi Guys ,

I am hell bent on making this cdma device work on reliance cdma sim. This is also same device called lucid 2 (vs870) but without crappy verizon firmware and its 4g lte divce on 700 mhz band.

When cdma sim is inserted it detects the sim but does not connect to the network. When put in nv mode and prl enable with reliance prl uploaded to the device it will connect to 1x and evdo rev.A. This is not meid registered device so cannot activate directly on reliance therefore my only option is omh sim.

So far have tried 3 sim

old esn based sim, in this iccid was correctly showing but shows unknown in other sim.

the recruc 06 cut to micro and

recruc 05 micro sim.

all relaince sim . have not tried any other carrier sim card as I dont have access to it.

  Note: In telephony manager viewer it shows sim operater as 311440 (its bluegrass cellular device) always but in old esn based sim it shows as 40510 (reliance Karnataka)

I think that device does not read prl from ruim or cannot read neither does it read prl from nv when it is in RUIM mode. In RUIM mode prl version is shown 40000 or unknown.

I did not find anything in qxdm which indicate where to read prl from ruim or nv. In qxdm log view it get disconnects from network as "not preferred exit" so again it points to prl and also to the question if it does not read prl from nv or ruim then what prl it is using ?

Since this 4g phone I wonder does it require 4g sim or Usim initially. Those airtel guys were to not ready give 4g demo sim to test. otherwise I could have test how usim is read from phone whether anything works or not.

Things I have tried.

1. Making it nv mode and installing reliance prl. yes does connect to reliance network

2. patch to enable gsm from XDA

3. Enable gsm and lte bands with qxdm and qpst  again from XDA

4.Vs870 firmware in place of original as870 firmware same thing it cannot connect to network in ruim.

5. tried gsm sim after  enabing bands and also applying patch. nothing work on this too.

6. Tried editing build.prop hundreds of times for various reasons. changing operators name in build allows to dial *228 in nv mode otherwise it will give msg that sim card has config our service  blah blah.

Things yet to try

1. USIM or 4g sim

2. tata or mts cdma sim

3. other series of reliance sim.

Accidentally and Surprisingly got idea to dial 911 in ruim mode. it does connects to reliance network and says check the number you have dialed . It remains emergency mode for 5 mins and I can receive calls. Cant dial anything because it will come out of emergency mode and will not connect to network in normal mode. This too points out that some other prl is being used.

I request any expert in this field to help me crack this who knows we might end up cracking many devices once you find out what stopping it from reading ruim prl or nv prl.

In the end I got collection of all cdma sofwares

I will keep adding points as I research and experiment more and more. If got it worked I will put up solution so that everyone can use cheap 2600 rupees cdma phone which has got all the features.

Heartily Thanks for this wonderful forum and experts who give time to us to solve our problems.

Hi,

Motorola just released soak test for our Moto G XT1031 [boost],

I am using this from almost a week now and found working perfectly fine.

Now for us (reliance/TATA) users OTA is always an issue on MotoG, it wipes PRL and DATA.

But this time one of AndoridForum user SuperR made zip which don;t update Modem/Baseband and bootloader.

So you can enjoy lollipop on you 4.4.4 radio and bootloader.

If you want to update radio/baseband to 5.0.2 you need to flash PRL and DATA again.

To use this zip following are requirements.

1- Moto G should be bootloader unlocked

2- Custom recovery should be installed - I prefer TWRP 2.7.1.1

3- OTG pen drive of minimum 1GB. [or ADB skills to push files to phone]

Both of above can be done using THIS post.

And HERE is TWRP 2.7which I use.

Before doing this, will suggest you to take full backup of your phone .

1- Contacts - Already on google server.

2- SMS - Use Go SMS or with equivalent tools (CM Backup also works fine)

3- if you want to same applications already installed, use APK backup or EX Explorer to copy all APK.

4- Photos & Other files - just copy to your PC using MTP mode of moto g

So now you are ready to update your phone.

Download below files

5.0.2 ROM - HERE

SuperSU zip  - HERE

If you are into Xposed firmware get latest from XDA post - HERE

Now after your backup, boot phone to recovery [TWRP]

1- Copy all zip to your OTG pen drive.

2- Wipe all partitions including DATA

3- Wipe DATA partition 2nd time for safer side.

4- then reboot your phone to TWRP with OTG connected.

5- From TWRP install option, and select FALCON_220.42.18.ZIP 

6- installation will take about 2min.

7- then dont reboot the phone.

8- go back to main menu in TWRP.

9- again select SuperSU.zip

10- this time select wipe dalvik option 

11- and reboot your phone .

This reboot will take 5-10 minutes. dont panic.

After booting it will go for HandsFree activation, wait another 5min and it will give option for NEXT.

if you reached till this step then you have installed lollipop on you moto g.

now if you want to use xposed firmware to mod you system. boot to recovery and flash Xposed install zip from XDA post.

after installing xposed zip you need to select wipe dalvik option other wise phone will show out of space error.

you can skip Xposed step if you like normal version of moto G.  (i am heavy user of xposed so mention extra steps for others)

now reboot your phone to system.

after reboot you will again get HandsFree activation. wait for 5min and click next.

now let android Setup Wizard run.

Add your google accounts and other details.

you will be on lollipop home screen. (which looks almost same as kitkat home screen )

now time to get rid of Handsfree activation and get back tether options.

to do so follow these threads. HFA  Tether

While removing HandsFree activation, you will not find sprintOMADM2.APK  in Priv-App folder

there is SprintOMADM2 folder in Priv-app, inside this folder you will get SprintOMAD2.apk, rename this apk and you are done.

Tether works as shown in above thread.

Now as we are using kitkat radio/baseband & Bootloader, one small issue occurs.

you will find small flicking on phone. this will go aways ones you turn your screen OFF and ON.

to get rid of this issue, we need to update radio and bootloader to lollipop 5.0.2 version.

But after updating radio and bootloader to lollipop, you need to load PRL and DATA again.

So select what you want and enjoy lollipop on moto G. !!

now you can either download all your apps from playstore or install it from your backup.

restore your data & SMS as per your liking and you are good to go.

I am on 5,0,2 with kitkat radio and bootloader.  My phone is working fine with this combo.

here is the proof.

Hi Friends,

I need some suggestions over here, Apparently i am really confused what to chose from above given three network providers.

Airtel is my default service provider right now & I am making a change for CDMA ( For Better Reception ). my current location is New Delhi. I am confused which provider should i actually choose to make this change.

Apprehensions :-

RCOM :-

> They charge you wrong on your bill plan by adding various services.

> Network issues in delhi ( If there is any ? ) and Roaming on CDMA ?

TATA :-

> Their descision of disscontinuing CDMA network across PAN INDIA ( Except Delhi ).

> Network Issues ?

MTS :-

> Coverage across India.

> Network in Delhi ?

Got the attached offer through Email. Seems to be a FWP based EVDO Phone+Router. Anyone got any information about this?

If any body want to get the Whatsapp Calling feature activated. he can do so by downloading the latestest whatsapp from Playstore. Then he/she may have to get somebody to cann him/her from any user who have whatsapp calling activated.

If any body wants to get it activated he/she may drop me a PM with his/her no.

Reliance communications have declared that in the recently concluded auction it has emerged as the only operator to now possess Pan India contiguous 800MHz spectrum upwards of 5MHz. Rcom plans to use this spectrum for a large scale FD-LTE rollout. Rcom has licences in 7 circles in 900MHz band which are expiring in December 2015, out of which it has managed to win back 900MHz spectrum in Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh and 1800MHz spectrum in Odisha and North East circles.

In the 3 circles of West Bengal, Assam and Bihar Rcom could not win back any spectrum. Rcom says that the 3 circles that it lost contribute to 7.1% of its total telecom revenue in India and they have accelerated the process of migrating the current subscribers in these circles from 2G to 3G to prevent any disruption of services. Rcom spent a total of Rs. 4,299 crores and has to make an upfront payment of Rs. 1,106 crores to the government before 31st March.

Rcom now has more than 5MHz of 800MHz spectrum which is ideal for launching FD-LTE (4G) services, but only the newly won spectrum is liberalised and can be used for 4G. If Rcom wishes to use its older 800MHz for 4G it will have to pay a onetime fee to DOT to liberalise its entire spectrum holding in that band. In any case, they will be open to the spectrum sharing and trading deals that will come to the table once DOT finalises the guidelines for the same.

​i am not an expert so not sure if its safe to attempt this plus few steps look confusing to me

I have a ZTE AC30 Global router that works with 3g as well as EvDO.

the firmware has a bug. Once disconnected (due to signal lost or change from 3g to 2g while moving), it never connects back. I mean even once signal is back, it doesnt reconnect on its own. We have to restart modem or manually click connect (Eventhough WAN mode is always on  OR On Demand)

The firmware version that has this bug is BD_AC30V2.0.0B02

i am looking for any firmware higher than that
BD_AC30V2.0.0B04
BD_AC30V2.0.0B05
BD_AC30V2.0.0B06
BD_AC30V2.0.0B12

Is there any one who has access to ZTE firmwares ?
