best baseband for tmobile imho is i9250xxkk1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus
IMHO the best baseband radio version I've used for signal and battery life is:
i9250xxkk1
I've tried these so far:
i9250xxkk6
i9250ugkl1
What is everyone else finding?
I like that baseband when using 4.0.1, however when I switched to ARHD 2.1, I found xxkk6 was very good for battery life.
i was using k6 for a while on ARHD and MCR and battery life was not great i flashed the U radio and kind of had the same experience. flashed back to k1 and everything is much better
keep in mind im on tmobile
YMMV
For my phone/location, XXKK6 > XXKK1 > UGKL1. Shame really, you would think that a baseband made for North America would be good in North America. I guess it just varies from device to device. I still have to try XXKK7.
I am also on T-Mobile

Not sure that it was made for NA as there is no such thing as an NA version of it. They are all derived from the UK model.
Edit: it wouldn't matter anyway, the phone supports the bands it supports.

Schooled
Though I would think that outside of supporting the proper bands it shouldn't matter right?

Might matter for emergency dialing and maybe roaming

True. I've always carried my GSM phones all over the world never seemed to not work properly on the bands it should.

I have also found out that KK1 is best with at least signal strength.
I live in a poor signal area. I found that KK1 got me good service. After upgrading the phone is a brick in my house.
Somewhat related... Is there a cheat somewhere to turn on/off specific bands? We obviously don't need European bands in the US and vice versa. Just have to remember to change settings again when traveling.
UGKK7 works pretty well for me in sf bay area.
KK1 is working perfectly in Dallas... In two days I will tell you how well it works in Norway
I was using Galaxy Nexus, obtained the device from a official source.
But my baseband is XXKK1
KK1 is the baseband that came with my phone day one, and as far as battery life and signal strength in NY, it's been really good. I might try another one after the 4.0.3 upgrade but doubt it would be any better.
kk6 has worked much better than kk1 for me reception and battery wise here in So Cal.
Kk1 since i got the device back in november before anybody in canada and still works great .on telus network in BC
I seem to get better signal with xxkk1 over xxkk6, NYC metro and outskirts.
Minneapolis/T-Mobile here, running UGKL1. XXKK1 was fine with regards to battery life, however XXKK6 left me with exactly no signal at home. UGKL1 has had the best cell/wifi reception and battery life for me. I just wish this would drop on T-mobile so we could get T-Mobile specific baseband.

Htc desire A8181 north america network problem
Hi, i am living in toronto, Canada. I just purchase a desire from a guy but i can't access the network. The model is A8181 and i found the 3g network is not same as north america. I have used Nokia e62 before and after install a new Os it will be ok. Can I flash a north america rom and where can i find it? if this will solve the problem it will be nice. Thanks everyone.
the difference between the USA and Euro versions of the Desire are the 3G frequencies A8181 = 900/2100MHz (Euro/Worldwide) A8183 = 850/2100MHz (USA) so far as i am aware, they have completely different hardware so a software flash will not change that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands sell it on ebay to Australian or European customers
Thanks. But the Nokia did it very nice. I am using E71 which Bought from Hongkong And after refresh flash it can used North America. It is controlled by software not hardware. i need to exchanged it. Opp
i'm glad it worked for you on the nokia it won't on the HTC Desire though, it's definitely hardware related and you can't change that
I just changed nokia's type by reflash software and flash a north america rom and it can be used there. I am decided to change today. thanks.
Anyone try another baseband on T-Mobile Gnex?
Has anyone switched from the XXLF1 radio to another and seen improved results? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile
Everyone has different results with different radios. There's no perfect radio for everyone. If you think you're getting bad results with your current radio, then try other radios out and see.

Recently switched from XXLF1 to UGLH1 with very distinct, consistent improvement in connection reliability. As mentioned, YMMV.

Click to collapse Check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345 I am on my third UG radio test; the UG radio is best for the USA it seems. The thread has many choices and great information.
Wait, I am confused. It says in the original thread that the UG radio is for canadian devices. I want to be clear on this: Will it really work for USA devices as well? I don't know much about radios on here (I still have a hard time wrapping my head around radios being some sort of coding rather than actual hardware.) But I would LOVE to boost data speeds somehow on my phone!!!

One M9 use in Japan
I'm planning a trip to Japan. My M9 has a Baseband version 01.04_U11440601_71.02.50709G_F. I'm using it in Saudi Arabia and Thailand. Will it work in Japan? I want to be able to receive SMS from my Saudi bank while I'm in Japan. I won't be making many if any voice calls. Thanks
If all depends if the carrier you're currently has Roaming agreements in Japan. The baseband you load won't make a difference if the phone doesn't have a signal to use. Check with your carrier
Thoughts on the *BEST* Varient of the LG G4?
I have owned 3, G4s, all Verizon Unlocked. VS986 variants. Im fed up with the Boot loader being locked unless you complete the dreaded unlock method of USU. I use ATT for phone service, so i was just going to pick up another G4 because I want the freedom of flashing ROMS with TWRP and etc.... After brief browsing I see each variant is slightly different in Its own way. I wanna know which variant of the G4 (you) think is the best?; (and a brief reason why! ) The one with the most xda dev/community support, the one with the most ROM options, etc etc.... And preferably compatible with the ATT network. This list was pulled from another post on XDA I'm am not positive on its accuracy. But how do the common varrients hold up against the uncommon varients below? ( results due to MY location.: Pennsylvania/USA) <Common Varients:> *H810PR: AT&T *H811: T-Mobile USA *LS991: Sprint *US991: USA *VS986: Verizon <UN-Common/Rare Varients> *DS1402: ??? *F500K: KT Korea *F500L: U+ Korea *F500S: SK Telecom Korea *H812: Telus Canada *H815: Europe, Middle East, Africa *H815AR: Argentine *H815K: Australia *H815P: Latin America, South Africa *H815L: Israel *H815T: Hong-Kong *H815TR: Turkey *H818P: Dual-sim (South Africa, Brasil, United Arab Emirated, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Eastern Europe) *H818N: Dual-sim (China, Hong-Kong, India) *H819: China *KS1402/LGV32: ??? Japan (also called LG ISAI VIVID) ???

815 international ( the Europe, middle east, Africa one your talking about )or 811 tmobile have all the ROMs and easy unlock
H811 is GSM so it should work on AT&T. AFAIK H815 is the only one to officially get Nougat outside of Korea. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Does the Portugal Galaxy S9 use Snapdragon?
Ttitle. I also saw that the Portugal version has the U9 bootloader, so I wonder if it is unlockable, as it's part of Latin America which has Snapdragon phones.
Portugal is in Europe. I have a Portuguese S9 (TPH) and it has Exynos. You are probably talking about Brazil, which is in Latin America and they speak a variant of the Portuguese language. However I don't know if the Brazilian version comes with Snapdragon.
