any reason ur not running this version:
Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17

Phone runs great for me with the radio I have, don't see the need to flash a new radio just to flash it, If I saw a good reason to I might, but in talking with other members who live in my area that have flashed different radios they saw no diffrence in reception or performance.

[Q] Noob.Is there a new Kernel or PRI out that give your phone a better signal?

I was reading the sprint lovers custom rom page over at pcgeeks.com and guy comments saying he's using a new kernel for his HTC Evo.. Like does this give your phone a better signal? better battery life or what? what about PRI(not PRL) does PRI give your phone a better signal?

Kernel is the software for your phone. What you might need is an upgrade for your radio. If you look in the Android development forum you can find links to all of the official radio upgrades.
Also if you check the Sprint map you can see how much coverage you should be getting.

[Q] Data Drops....

I have a Bell Desire Z unlocked that I use on AT&T. I am running CM7. I notice data drops. I will have full bars on 3G, then will drop down to EDGE for a few minutes, then back to 3G.
Any help?
This is pretty typical... a good number of users, me included had this issue and some still do! It reminds me of the Nexus one issue with data.. nothing you can do but try flashing a different radio =\... notice how the Desire z/G2 looks like a nexus but with a kb? also one thing you could do is force the device to use 3G network only.
take a look at this thread i answered earlier on forcing edge/3G.

When I had my G2 I used this Radio "Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17" do you have S-OFF and SIM UNLOCKED? by gfree? if so.. use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
btw you can also try the latest leaked radio which is "Vision_RADIO_12.50.60.24_26.08.04.16"
I am rooted/s-off etc. If I were to flash the new leaked radio, would I be able to go back down? And it works with CM7? Sorry for the noob questions

yeah you sure would be able to go back down to a different radio since you have s-off, etc! go ahead and try it and hopefully it all works good for you
Flashed the leak. So far so good. No drops, staying steady at 4 bars.

[Q] Baseband and Radio????

ok, so soon im going to be getting the Galaxy Nuexus. my previous phone was the LG GT540 and there were no mods for Baseband or radio. what do each of these mean, and what will modding them do for me?
EDIT: and whats CDMA?
There is no such thing as nodded radios or baseband. They're all official basebands, go through each and one of them and find out he one that benefits you the most giving you the best reception and stick with it.

try a differenT ROM

There is no better radio, just different. Download a couple of the later ones in the radio thread and try them out. What works for some doesn't work for others.
Oh, they change with roms? Didn't know that.. Relative noob. Lol How do I download and install them, like a ROM?

In the development section there is a thread dedicated entirely to Radios. I'd suggest looking there.
I also had a problem with my WIFI on Desire Z. Only when I flashed a new radio it got fixed significantly.
Yep all you can really do is try a few different radios, the latest version is not always the best. Each radio may perform better or worse than the others in your specific part of your carrier's network.
The thread which has all the radios as PC10IMG files is great, makes it pretty simple to flash a new radio. Make sure to delete the PC10IMG file from your SD card after flashing, otherwise it will want to flash it again everytime you try to access the bootloader.
Thanks guys, as usual, very helpful!

Just to clarify, ROMs don't change your radio. They are independent.

ril

what is 'matching ril files' nd how it is
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Its matching your radio to your rom. Just use the latest tmobile radio would be my advice.

I think that's not quite right. The way I understand it's rather that you adjust your rom to play nicer with the radio version you're currently running and in the process achieving better signal reception etc.
Ril matching means, that you match the 'radio interface libraries' of your rom to your current radio. There a few scripts out there that will do this for you, but I don't know if there being kept up to date.
However I don't think that this is a really something, you need to be concerned about unless you have specific problems that need to be fixed.
Never change a running system and such..
my wifi signal strenght is quite poor nd i was lookin for the solution how to get it better

I always flash after I use a different hboot and it seems to make my reception better

It should be noted that different radio versions work differently depending on your location. Would be best to search that thread for favorable results in or around your area in the replies, then match RIL files with said radio version.
