I am just trying to understand why everyone is so afraid of the new radio and won't post it?
It was specifically told not to be released. We have the roms, we will have the radio in due time.
because it improves the radio soo much you pick up alien communications. most likely it will be classified top secret by the government men in black never to see the light of day.
Or perhaps its the reason the OTA was pulled...

It's not rocket surgery to just get the RUU and pull the radio out of it if you've got such a need for it.

Has anyone else noticed this?
My internet speed goes from 1/5 to 1/3 of what it used to be, and the latency is also worse (I tested)...
And my signal is awful/nonexistent in places where it was fine with the Rogers WM6 ROM...
Is there anything I can do? Or should I just wait for the TMo WM6.1 ROM? When's that coming?
I'm with Rogers as well man and the latest ROM is amazing! Full signal - no problem.
Can you give me a link to the lastest and greatest Rogers ROM? Or similiar/better? And about my Q's in the first post...
But Roggers ROM is on WM6.0...
I am With Last Kavana's rom with WM6.1 - best ROM ever for me.
Many programs, many features, super fast.
But the radio is the same as Ricky's, isn't it? Isn't it bad...

you guys don't have to be such @$$holes about it... geez
listen guy, all you need to do is wrap your mobile in heavy duty aluminum foil (note: it must be heavy duty or it will not work) and place in your icebox for 60-72 hours...
after that you will be good to go!
When I first got my S621 from Rogers last May with WM5 on it the phone was great, hardly ever had to reboot it for anything. I have had nothing but problems after I upgrade to Rogers 6.0 ROM. With full signal I would not be able to make calls and would first to try reset the phone service through comm manager, which would rarely work, but usually have to reboot the phone, at times often. Due to this problem I even had the phone replaced which did nothing. So far since I installed Ricky's V7 ROM I've had better battery life and have yet to reboot my phone due to not being able to make a call.
In short, I don't see an issue with the Radio or the ROM.
my speed on t-mo seems like its slowed down since i went with rickys from rogers also, my signal itself seems ok and i dont drop calls-maybe miss a word once in awhile but anyways...
does anyone mind telling me if the radio can be improved in any way?(yes im a noob and i really dont know the first thing to look for, but im just asking a simple yes or no question) sorry i dont have luck SEARCHING
I've determined that consistency doesn't exist.
he has everyone right to be an @sshole. how about before you go and say that rickys rom or radio sucks, you ask around first. maybe you are just a moron and its user error? the dude busts his ass to make us cool **** for our phones and you start a thread like this? i wouldnt, nor will i, help you at all. learn some people skills. all i can picture is a 7 year old whining "whaaaaaaaaaa ricky's rom sucks! whhhhhhh"
GO MAKE YOUR OWN THEN.

Ok, I'll make my own.
Whereabouts on the ROM is the radio stored? It's not just the radio.dll, right?
I've found the forums that explain to me how to flash a custom radio, but I haven't been able to find a thread that explains why I would want to do it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a custom radio and what are some good radios for my DInc with CM6.1?
all radios are good in the same sense. Ok basically a different radio can give you better signal or battery life or both. Or it can kill your battery faster and give worse signal. It's a case by case basis and I think mainly where you live matters.. I always stick with the 7.28 radio its been the best for me but its also terrible for some people.

Thanks for the input. I suppose I need to educate myself more on the different radios available because 7.28 doesn't really mean anything to me. If you don't mind me asking, what type of area do you live in that 7.28 works for you but not for other people? Is it the difference between a metropolitan area and a rural area, or is it more specific like better in a certain part of the country or city than another?

It is more of a block-by-block basis. I had an Eris in Chicago *Belmont and Central* and updating the radio helped immensely. But, went 2 blocks east, and lost all signal. Now I have a Dinc running the leaked Evo (11.09) radio, and notice better signal in buildings (Glenbrook South HS)
Also 7.28 is the newest stock Verizon radio. Radios are usually known by the last numbers in the name.. Radios are risky business as a bad flash can brick the phone. I'd read up and hold off if I were you... I'd hate to see someone break their phone its really a travesty when it happens.

Thanks guys. I tried a few radios, and they all seemed to work alright. The reason I was asking is because I wanted to know if there was a known problem with a specific radio I may have overlooked, however, after search, I didn't find anything, so I thought I'd ask you guys. Thanks!
Not true. Use the radio that CAME with the rom. Tmobile releases a rom and radio together for a reason. So if your talking about the ginger leak, the .30 radio is the one that was released with that. Of course you don't HAVE to change it, but why wouldn't tmobile just not update the radio from froyo if there was no reason or nothing to be gained? The rom was built to work SPECIFICALLY with that radio. If we were talking about a custom rom, then ya I agree with everything said above. Since were talking about a stock rom, its a little different.
Radios are flashed through the bootloader. The chance of bricking or messing anything up when flashing through a bootloader is .0000000001% if not lower. So if you got an extra five min in your life go flash that .30

May I ask which Radio version did the magic to bump up your performance?
I've been reading this forum for the past two days trying to see if there is a similar thread with this issue. Please point me in the right direction if there is a similar thread resolving this issue (this forum is colossal!).
I recently bought a UK version GSM Galaxy Nexus running Modaco 4.0.2 Ir8. I'm using it on T-Mobile's network (The GN is replacing my HTC Sensation).
The gentleman that sold it to me had already unlocked, rooted, and flashed it with Modaco. It works blazing fast. The only thing is that when ever I make a phone call it literally drops in less than 5 minutes. The signal seems to be switching like crazy from 3G to HSPA+ as well.
I've called TMO and they have no clue what the issue is (4 different reps told me 4 different things from needing to factory reset to the towers being down etc.).
Again the phone works great besides the fact that I can't make a phone call for more than a couple of minutes before it drops.
Has anyone seen this with their GN? Is it the phone? The Mod? Are T-Mobile's towers not able to pick up this phone's radios because it's from the UK?
How can I go about fixing this (Factory reset? etc.)? I'm literally about to factory reset this thing this morning when I get home from work.
I don't really have too much experience as far as rooting goes but willing to learn and get this issue resolved.
What radio version are you using?
I'm on T-Mobile and xxkk6 works well for me.
If you don't know what you have, I suggest u go to the dev section and start reading for a while
xxkk6 at the least should be on there. i think there is xxkl7 possibly. the xxkk6 is the stock radio, but if there is a kk7 or kl7 might want to try that as it would be a later version.
How can I tell which radio version I'm on and does it give me the option to switch it?

And once I put in my Sim card, why didn't the phone just figure out with Radioband to attach itself to?

And lastly, anyone know what the best baseband/radio is suitable for NYC? And why doesn't the phone just figure out which is the best baseband?

the baseband should work. it's gsm, the world standard. but i'm guessing since i don't know exactly what is tweaked, but that the specific baseband for your region will bias your phone for the known networks. ugkk7 works great for me. atnt. i think there is a ugkl6 or 7. sometimes you have to test them. some will work better for others. some will work great and not eat battery. if it eats battery, try another one. i think samsung is decent about releasing different radios for different regions. it can be confusing. now when it's comes to updating their roms, that is a different story.
Ok,
The baseband def has to be affecting my battery. I'm getting not even 10 hours on a full charge from moderate use.
I don't really know exactly what the first owner did to it, only what he told me.
My plan is to bring it back to factory settings (found an article about how to restore the GSM version, but have yet to find any youtube videos abou it....I only see LTE videos on rooting and unrooting, and I'm not sure if it's the same process so I'm not touching those).
If that doesn't help it then I'll go about flashing and changing the baseband.
Again this whole baseband business is really new to me. The input you guys have been giving so far is much appreciated.

Update:
Ended up coming home early from work and staying up all morning trying to figure this out. I decided on using this link first: (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/restore-galaxy-nexus-to-stock-how-to/)
to re-lock. That took about 4 hours of troubleshooting and getting to know the lingo and terminology. Then from a combination of other youtube videos I spent another 4 hours trying to figure out how to lock the bootloader. Believe it or not the Xda link about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) saved me from losing my mind. I literally didn't go to sleep until I made sure I brought the phone back to factory settings.
After I finally got the phone back to factory settings (believe me, it wasn't fun figuring this out especially when I've never rooted before) I noticed the wifi wasn't working, or had a very weak signal. Content with the phone at least being back on factory settings and locked, I go to sleep and wake up today seeing the same issue with the wifi (mean while, I now have good signal/service...didn't even have to mess with the baseband radio config).
I restart the router in our house and power down the phone and restart. Problem fixed.
Not really sure why or how, but bringing the phone back to factory settings seems to make it work just as fast as it worked when Modaco Ir8 4.0.2 was on it. Except now I have amazing Service signal.
I can honestly state that rooting really isn't for me especially with the notion that with every new mod that comes out you have to be flashing on a constant basis. Even though I almost lost my mind trying to figure this out, I would still rather have this approach vs Apple's walled garden approach though. Any day.
One of the reasons I like the Nexus line of phones is that it's pretty much the only Android phone that gets all the updates first and on a constant basis. Which makes it such an awesome phone in that it's also the phone that Google allows any and all capabilities to be customized. I have true respect for all the devs out there who attack this stuff daily.
Just be sure to get enough exercise in and healthy meals along with rest lol.

some people actually recommend factory resetting your device from the get go. i would, but i always just run with the hardware just to make sure the hardware and stress i throw at it will handle all the roms and stuff. and to exchange my phone if finding there is a problem.

Rooting/Flashing is great IMO for people who will never have the luxury of getting updates like Nexus phones get. Take control in your own hands on when you decide you want to update(s) etc.
I'm sure any Devs out there (like on this forum) also love tinkering. To each his own.

Indeed. I def learned a lesson: Never let anyone ever root your phone for you. The guy who rooted it for me was nice enough to say I could email him for questions but the more I kept emailing him the more I could tell he was probably getting frustrated at all my worrisome questions ("I'm dropping calls", "Is it because of the rooting?", "My wifi isn't working", "is it because of the rooting?..." etc.).
Just glad to know there are tons of available options for one to seek out help when issues like this arise.

Hello!
I've been having bad receptions/signal loss on my GN.
People have been recommending me to update my bootloader, but how do I do it?
1. Assure you are bootloader unlocked
2. Go into bootloader mode
3. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20725207&postcount=2835
4. Double click fastboot-windows.bat (windows only)
5. Done
6. Reboot
And your problem is most likely radio related. What radio are you using?

Bootloader isn't going to do much for signal, you want radio. See this thread and this post
The thing is that I already have the PRIMEKL01 bootloader with the KK6 radio.

I still don't understand why you continue to "join" these threads and mention about these absurd debates in previous threads because they honestly really don't help anyone at all but cause drama. But okay.
@OP: Settings -> "More" (under Wireless) -> Mobile network settings -> Access Point Names -> Bottom right, reset to default.
Try playing around with different radios around the forum. See if one of them will prevent the dropping of signal.

I suggest you to go back to XXKK6 if you manually updated the radio to verify its MD5 hash.

Thanks! Tried that to see if it helps
I've tried KK1, KK6 and KK7.
How many more radios to choose from? And what radio do you use personally?

I still don't understand why you continue to "join" these threads and mention about these absurd debates in previous threads because they honestly really don't help anyone at all but cause drama. But okay.

Probably because if there's one thing XDA is great at, it's people spreading misinformation that they don't intend/realize their spreading.

More like people here just love to go into other people's threads and cause drama based off a person's personal experience. If it has helped someone fix their problems even though a person doesn't believe it, that doesn't give them the right to keep posting in there to bring the topic out of relevance to what the purpose of the thread was supposed to be.
We're all here at XDA to help each other. Not bash on each other's feelings. It was simply a matter of updating a bootloader, and having a updated bootloader isn't going to make a phone become worse. No damage done, so is it really worth all of this drama and debate? I don't think so.
And I wouldn't want to continue this talk any much longer as I've dealt with it in the past 2-3 threads. Thanks, show was good, but let's move on.
Shoot, I'm on 4.0.2 with 4.0.3 bootloaders/modems, although in a lot of the weak signal areas around here I think I might be better off reverting back to the 4.0.2 modems.
What the other poster was trying to say in a not so nice way is, "Feel free to update your bootloaders. There's no harm that can be done and you may have a slightly smoother ICS experience, but don't be under the impression that it is a solution for making a significant difference in your battery life".
It's not helping to mislead people. Not that anyone in this thread has, but to the new user, there are a lot of things that are misread. New bootloaders and modems probably WILL make the OP's ICS experience somewhat noticeably "better", but they do not solve the OP's desire, which is to get extra battery life.
It's going to be very frustrating for people that think that new bootloaders fixed their problems, only to have their problems "come back" (because unless your original bootloader is just plan trash, your battery life difference is negligible) which will lead to more of the same types of posts that are all over XDA that are chalked full with a lot of opinions and not a lot of proof, which only leads to an over saturation of conflicting information when people use the search function.
But I agree, dude coulda been a little more tactful. And to the OP, flash a new bootloader/modems. It really can't hurt. I'm on Revolution HD which is already fast/smooth, and there are places within the ROM that smoother/quicker with 4.0.3 bootloaders/modems. Also, when you say signal loss, do you mean you'll go from 2G/3G to nothing, or from 3G to 2G sitting in the same area? It's not a fair comparison since I'm on Verizon, but I've had some times where my signal drops for no reason. A buddy of mine's Rezound is that same way, living in the same area, we think it may be a tower issue. Although I do see times where it happens in other places.
What is this 'tact' thing, you speak of?
