I know Google recommends xxkk6 or UGkk6 with 4.0.3 however I get abysmal battery life with xxkk6 and I get frequent cell service drops with the stock xxkk1 radio.
What radio are you guys using?

xx seems to work better with AWS/1700 bands. Try the UGKK7 and UGKL1 basebands. Those were designed for canadian carriers which should use the same bands as AT&T.
T-Mobile user here, but considering the phone isn't out here we're pretty much all in the same boat. I've tried XXKK1/6 and UGKL1/KK7, and UGKL1 was by far the best reception for me. My buddy on AT&T said the same. UG designated radios are North American.
My phone came with XXKK1, and when I unlocked the bootloader and switched to a 4.03 ROM, I switched to UGKL1. While I'm getting less "bars" than I used to with my Motorola Milestone, my actual signal strength is about the same (-60dbm in great areas, -90 in my house). I feel like UGKL1 is slightly better, but its tough to say.
Hey guys I've recently started flashing new radios and I'm currently on UGLA4. Just wondering if there is a good radio to reduce time on wind away roaming esp in big buildings. Thanks.

yea i've flashed this as well... after reading around a bit.
sadly i get 0 - 1 bar in my house and in my area.
so so terrible, i don't know if the 45$ unlimited plan is worth it if i can't freely use it in my own house.
in the steels and mississauga rd area.
Upgrade to UGCL1 its the newest and best radio in terms of performance for North America
Yeah, goto the UGCL1.
It's better in most cases.
was a while before i found it...
so for the rest... here is the post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24308497&postcount=362
about to try this now...
I have searched through numerous threads but found mixed answers...
Some say to use european version and some say use North America based radios...
I am currently using the XXKK6 right now and the performance is "OK" but I have feeling it CAN be better...
I live in NYC and T-Mobile service is pretty good out here... Please let me know which radios work the best in your opinion.
Currently running stock Yakju 4.0.4 with unlocked bootloader.
Try XXLA2 considering that is the latest out with the recent yakju OTA. I myself have not seen any major/significant boost to signal strength nor data speeds since my signal here is always superb.
I was using that one on TMob in Atlanta on 4.0.2 until my OTA came in last now. Now I'm 4.0.4 with XXLA2 and its a lot stronger.
I have my radios set to US version, not automatic if that helps.
UGLC1 is better than XXLA2 for me. NYC as well.

UG = North America
L = 2012
C = March

UGCL1, Where can I find this? Its not in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345 Thread....
v4.0.2 and XXKK6 radio with Tmobile here in San Francisco. No call quality or data speed complaints to report. Fwiw I don't work inside a big building office type settings.
I seen Speedtest downloads from 1mbps to 7mbps and uploads from 1mbps to 3mbps. Performance often depends on location and variable network saturation levels.
I'm on XXLA2 and it seems great T-Mo in WA.

It actually is in there, it's just not in the OP because he hasn't updated it yet.

I was thinking of leaving the stock android 4.0.4 radio on my Gnex when it arrives this friday. but i'm curious if changing the radio will improve data speeds.
I want to change to UGLC1 just for testing purposes, and then revert back to the one in the 4.0.4 update but i dont know how to do this.
could someone please post a link to a tutorial which will show me how, thanks.
i'm in Orlando, Florida on T-Mobile

yes changing radios will improve/worsen your data speed.
you have to fastboot flash it... i believe you have to be bootloader unlocked to manually flash these images via bootloader mode.
follow the ROOT guide without using any tool kits (the process of.... fastboot oem unlock) ... just don't root, after its unlocked then type
fastboot flash radio <radioname>.img (make sure its set in your SDK folder). you can find this by googling it / searching it within XDA
Try any of the latest North American Radio: UGLA4 was really good for many american t-mobile users.

That is NOT the latest North America radio. The latest is UGLC1.
UGLC1 > UGLA4 for me.
i'm on UGKL1 and it has been great for me. gotten up to 8Mbps down and 3Mbps up and great service almost everywhere. except places where i've always gotten bad service.
Any reason for me to upgrade to the latest? which i guess is UGLC1?
i am T-Mobile in NYC area and noticed that UGLC1 took really long to regain signal / service when getting out of subway. it was noticeably slower... It was actually longer than the XXLA2. I am flashing UGLA4 now and will report my findings
Just got my stock 4.0.1 Nexus and its got XXKK1. Is this the best for UK networks?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
XXKL1 has shown the best performance for me, with 4.0.3. 4.0.4 uses LA2 which is also good, i suggest you go straight to 4.0.4
The latest radio for European region is XXLA2 which should theoretically give the best results. However, I think it is very much based on location and network provider. Try both XXKL1 and XXLA2 and see which gives the best signal strength and network speeds.
XXLA2 gave me a 120% boost in 3G speeds. No kidding here.
Howdy,
Just wanted to see what radio T-Mobile users are using, and how good they're working. I'm on ARHD 3.0.0 and using the UGLC1 radio. My reception seems worse from when I had UGKK7 or the XXLA2.
There are literally dozens of threads on this.
It depends on your area. People are reporting good results with almost every radio out there.
I'm in Seattle and I've tried UGLA4 UGLC1 and XXLA2
I noticed signal strength *might* have been a little bit worse on the XXLA2 versus the other 2, but honestly, these are all so close. I just decided to go w/ the UGLC1 because it was the latest.
I get about 6-9mbps down and 3-4mbps up at my current spot (lower queen anne).
Thanks for the responses. I haven't seen much difference as well and I will stick with the latest uglc1 for a bit.
on XXKK6, Central Florida, absolutley no issue with signal, hell its better than my T989, or Nexs S was(reception where they would have none)
Please continue the conversation in one of the already established threads.
