Hopefully the 3g/4g handoff and the signal quality...had more dropped calls with this phone than any other I have ever had on vzw.

Do we just flash the entire zip in CWR? Does this address the service issues?

Just flash the zip file in CWR. You will just have try them to see if they benefit you.

This is my first pure google phone so this may be more of a motorola question but does flashing leaked radios throw us off the upgrade path? Is there even such a thing as a uograde path on a nexus?

Getting slower speed tests after the upgrade. I'll keep testing... someone else try too please

Downloads are faster uploads slower which is fine I don't need 20 mbps upstream.

You will be fine. You can flash what you need when you want to..

Woohoo! Hopefully better radios! Can't stand the current ones.

Much better so far here, consistently seeing 3 bars now instead of 2, dbm seems to have dropped average about 10 and connectivity seems quicker ... thank you

This is my first Google phone seems flashing radios is different because this phone is so open on my Thunderbolt i flash radios in bootloader . Oh how i love my Nexus .

All I know is it is definitely not worse than the previous radio

Update from my phone: I get a solid 1 more bar of signal for 4G.
My steps:
1. Flash radios
2. Do the *22899
3. Wait 60 seconds or more til it finishes

Finally getting some nice speed on telus 4g

Im getting speeds over 10 mbps which is what i expect and also this stock ics rom is awesome its amazing how much smoother and slick it is compared to gingerbread. Im also getting some pretty killer battery life.

Is your gps compass backward??? I am a telus subscriber but I love this cm9 ....only flaw is the GPS. Would be willing to go back to stock if the compass issue is resolved.
Sent from my Galaxy SII T-mobile using Tapatalk 2

Same here using TDJ's modified Telus ROM and radio, runs like a champ!!
Compass is still backwards but the rest of the ROM is golden.

I'm in the GTA and the TLLE4 radio is giving me garbage reception. Like at work I used to get full reception and I'm lucky to get 2 bars now. Anyone else experiencing this?

Where in Calgary are you located? I'm in the south but as long as I am north of 22x, I get about double your speeds. I'm on Telus.
In my results, the wifi speeds are with a 15Mbps Telus Optik account.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA

Wow that is pretty impressive, I am getting 3mbps in the Bay Area, and I thought that was great.

Mind to share what apn setting you use?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I was just in Philadelphia over the weekend and loved the speeds on ATT. I got 7 Mbps with a ping around 80. So good compared to here in Cali.

I'm in Orlando FL. At home about 1-3 down and .5 up, but at work (a few miles away) I get 3-4 solid and 1 up.
At home on a Sunday am I get solid 6 down and 1 up.
So I'm happy, my "unlimited" data lasts longer than if I had an LTE.
Ran XXLA2 then changed to UGLC1 and see really no diff.
I did get Getril Premium and matched up my RIL but no diff then either.
My reception with this phone sucks in my house but at work it's stellar.
Of course at work I can see the tower from my office window .
APN: I use standard default from the first time I put in the ATT sim from my Atrix.

Here's what we are getting in Vilnius/Lithuania.
HSPA or HSDPA (I dont know the diff; at least I see "H" near the signal strenght).

You can't get around 30 Mbps with a HSPA+21 phone. You either have a Verizon or Sprint version

HERCULES vs SKYROCKET -- pls help me decide buy one !! :)

greetings fellas !
i am confused between the t-mobile hercules & at&t skyrocket !
i would like to know which one would be preferable among the two !
i will be using the phone in india so the phone will be gsm unlocked !
what i would consider :
1) custom roms
2) build quality, audio quality, camera quality
also pls mention the differences between both phones !
thanks for all your help !

Don't be confused. Besides a bit of cosmetic difference they are the same phone.

you can flash any ROM from either phone.

Get the skyrocket if carrier doesn't matter. They are the exact same phone but with the skyrocket you always have the option for lte even if it is not in your area right now. You can also flash roms from either side so might as well get the skyrocket for lte:good:

I think the black Hercules looks better than the skyrocket. But yeah, they are pretty much the same phone man. Just in case if you flash roms back and forth, don't forget to flash the rotation fix as well my friend.

Yes this is true.
Qualcomm's MDM8220 modem doesn't support LTE.
"Qualcomm’s MDM8220 dual-carrier HSPA+ solution, based on the 3GPP Release 8 standard, provides peak downlink data rates of up to 42 megabits per second (Mbps) and 11 Mbps on the uplink, allowing carriers to easily upgrade their existing infrastructure equipment to achieve significantly higher bandwidths. Its dual-carrier technology doubles networks’ bandwidth from 5 MHz to 10 MHz by aggregating two HSPA carriers in parallel.
The MDM9200 and the MDM9600 chipsets are the industry’s first multi-mode 3G/LTE solutions that allow UMTS and CDMA2000® operators to upgrade seamlessly to future LTE services while preserving backward compatibility to their existing 3G networks. MDM9200 supports UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE, while the MDM9600 supports CDMA2000® 1X, EV-DO Rev. B, SV-DO, SV-LTE, UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE. All of the new chipsets support FDD LTE and TDD LTE modes and different carrier bandwidths, and are capable of using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology to support peak data rates of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink."

Wow...I'll be honest with you that was quite a mouthful lol you kind of lost me so I read it twice and I understand, but pretty much the Herc has the MDM8220? So thats a no on the LTE if when T Mo gets LTE like they plan on, we wont be getting true LTE. Correct me if Im wrong lol, Im just a noob trying to learn.

You're correct, herc dies not have lte, SR does, but i believe SR lte will only work on their bands so even when TMobile gets lte 3 years from now, it won't work, maybe.

My signal is horrible. Need help[Solved]

I have had this phone for about 4 or 5 days. When at my house I get 3g and only about 1 or 2 bars. This happened on my Samsung stratosphere too. Could this be a SIM card issue or hardware. I have read about a lot of people replacing this phone and still getting issues with signal. If I do bring my phone in to a Verizon store to get a sim card do I have to revert my phone to stock? I don't know if I should send my phone back or if where I live is just horrible for data. Sorry for so many questions.

Flash another baseband radio and if you are using custom rom with custom kernel then flash stock galaxy nexus's kernel.

Since it is the case for two phones, then maybe the 3G coverage is not good in your place.
Try asking others living around to confirm if they also suffer the same 3G coverage problem. Also try in another place to see if it still shows a weak signal everywhere or only at your place.

I do get better signals in different areas. Even with the 3g and 1 bar my speeds for browsing are decent but I just was wondering if a sim card or replacement would help. Thanks and I will ask some people

Flashing radios makes a slight, if at all a difference. Your best bet would be to keep calling and complaining to your provider, ive seen some success stories where others have been able to get verizon/att to pay for a 3g extender

Edit:Alright thanks. I think I am just in a bad area and I use wifi at my house anyways. Thanks
I accidentally misread the radio labels. The 4.0.4 did install.

I am not sure that an old radio will perform better than the newer one. Give them a try then choose the one that suits you better

Well I am going to have to switch back to the latest. Data barely turns on when on these 4.0.4 radios. I am not going to return my phone because I doubt mine is defective. Thanks to everyone for helping

It would be great if you mark this thread solved by adding something like "[SOLVED]" at the beginning of the current title
One more thing please is to make a habit of hitting the "Thanks" button to those who help you
Good Luck

4.0.4 radios are old. Try running something a little newer. I'm using FC04/FC05. Although honestly I don't really see a difference. Most of the time it just adjusts the timings between switching in and out of 4G... which I have disabled.
I would also recommend looking at a cellular booster/repeater. I work underground in the bottom floor of an office complex and we don't get signal from any carrier. We paid like $200 for a repeater and now we're good.
