If there was a "best radio," there would only be one, wouldn't there?

If he has a CDMA phone, that one is actually true
As for GSM radios, and some light discussions around what works where, see thread linked in my sig.

I'd recommend XXKL1 over that one, but feel free to try both out and see what works best.
Usually takes a few days (at least for me) to get a solid feel for how a radio performs, both stability-wise, speed-wise and with regard to battery-consumption.

XXKK6 is great. i am using it with stock 4.0.2. great on battery and very stable. using it for past 2 weeks. no issues.

For me phone feels snappier. And data is a bit faster/responsive for me when using slow apps like the facebook app.
Seems OK, got it from Paul O'Brien in his ROM

flashed aswell, all good so far. will post back with battery life in a few days
Excellent. I'm on 3uk and for the first time since getting the g-nex 2 weeks ago i'm finally getting full bar reception at home on hspa. Rooted and using Paul's latest rom and Franco's latest kernel.
THANK YOU!
Yet another KL1 comes up... Sweet!
I flashed the Korean KL1 yesterday (because Wind Mobile users were having major roaming issues with the north american KL1) & Battery life, Battery Readings, Signal & network speed is much better. Best of all no roaming issues.
Here's a link to that 1 as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439217
Will try this 1 later
Thanks! So far so good. Not intensively tested yet, but reception seems to have improved, here in the Netherlands. I was having some issues with that. I was using the xxkk6 radio.

Works fine here as well.
Can't really see any difference with regards to signal strength/performance.
But I guess we'll see if it has any effect on battery in a couple of days.

Thanks a lot for the radio, it improved both wifi and network reception for me compared to the xxkk6 radio. Cheers!

Will this baseband most likely be the one included in stock 4.0.3 or do we think something 'newer' will be included with that update?
Im on 850MHz Telstra Next-G using XXKK6 (AUS2 radio network)... might have to flash and test it out.

Let me know how you go... currently still on the stock Telstra radio but haven't seen much in the way of comparisons.
I live in Asia, for me krkl01 tad better than xxkl01, signal strength and download speed wise

This is just the euro version of UGKL1: both are revision 1 of the December 2011 radio.

A few questions about a I9250T on Att.

Like the title implies I picked up a telstra(sp) nexus, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the proper direction of what radio I should use. I'm located in the northeast(Vermont to be exact). I'm obviouslly using att, I'm new to the radio swapping as I've always had att branded phones. I did the best I could search wise and didn't find much. I'm using my note since my computers down for now........
Sorry for being a newb!!

Are you noticing bad performance with the current radio?
There's no perfect radio. I'm using XXKK6 on T-Mo with good results. There aren't a whole bunch of radios, you could just flash each one and see which is best for you.

Yes, apparenty you did
UGLC1 eh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the March 2012 Canadian Radio? Because I'm trying to stick with the latest release designed for Canadian HSPA+ carriers.
Wifi signal is way better.. Nothing is dropping Thanks for the upload.

I could be mistaken but I think UG is more "North America" but I guess for GSM that pretty much means "Canada" - though I use mine on AT&T in the states. UGKL1 is the one I've got would love to know what people think of this

Thanks, and yeah, that's all I meant. I just knew that XX was Europe. So if UG is for North America, then that covers Canada as well. And I flashed it with no problem, seem to be getting better WiFi reception, as well as losing connection to Google Servers less often (Grey signal bars) which I had a lot of trouble with using UGLA4. So far so good

UG = North America
L = 2012
C = March
1 = Revision 1
This is the newest radio that we've ever had. Newer than UGLA4 & XXLA2
Any difference from UGLA4?

Results will vary. You have to flash it and conclude yourself.
For me and others (in the major radio thread) it has been the best radio.
This is the newest radio, so give it a try. If it doesn't give you what you want, flash back the old radio you were using before.
I've had problems with all the other newer radio's.
But this one is a keeper. Cheers.

Best radio for GSM GN?

Hi, I'm confused on what radio I should use with my GSM GN, I'm about to install LS 1.35, however I will also need a new 4.0.4 radio, to get the best signal and battery life, so what radio are you guys running?

As far as 4.0.4 radios go you have two choices: UGLC1 and XXLA2.
I'm on LC1 personally, haven't felt the need to test other BB's since. There are often too many variables to declare a BB as a clear winner.
In case you haven't seen the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345

Hi i was just wondering if the Radio is region Specific? Had the HTC Hero Previous and was always told that i should flash the latest radio, is that the same here?

It works but I remember xx being Europe and ug being North America
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Since you're located in Denmark, I suggest you use the XXLA2 radio. XX radios are apparently best suited for Europeans, while UG radios (like UGLC1) are best suited for the United States and Canada.

It doesn't matter. This phone is pentaband. Phones being sold on the play store are shipping out to American see with xxla02. I'm American and I prefer xx radios over ug. You just have to try them and see which one is better for you.

UGCL1 i have gotten better signal strength, better data speeds, no signal disconnect and never lost google sync. On XXLA2 I had some issues with speeds and signal. I recommend UGCL1 but test yourself and see a lot of people like the XXLA2 for whatever reason.
p.s. UGCL1 is the newest
Here's a link for the UGCL1 radio in case you can't find it. Kinda buried in a bunch of posts.

Best radio is to use them all starting with the latest one and determine the one best for YOU. One radio good for one person is not the same for you because you two live on different parts of the world + different carriers.
Thanks for this thread, guys. Very informative.
Use LAX2 as that works best. And you get better battery life compared to the previous releases

[Q] Different Radio and Roms...can they coexist?

Hi all,
Ok so my second GNex is in (White this time) and I wanted to try something different. Im right not on AOKP Build 40 which is a 4.04 ROM but I also am running a radio for 4.02 based roms (XXKK6). I've noticed I get substantially better signal than the newer radios that are out for it so I decided to keep it. My question is...is there any substantial harm im looking at by mixing an incorrect ROM and Radio this far apart? I know some of you have mixed it around but this radio is a couple versions old. Thanks in advance.
As long as the ril matches the radio you are fine. The latest aokp and cm9 builds use the ril for krlb1 radio. The easiest way to check is with the getril app off the play store.
This app will allow you to check if radio and ril match and download the correct ril if you are set on keeping your current radio.
First few days with the phone I had wicked signal drops until someone put me onto this app, now my signal is perfect.
Sent from my Cyanogenmodded GNex
Well given that I've used a north american radio and RIL on my phone I'd say you're good. The radio and RIL doesn't even have to match as some RILs (believe it or not) work better than the one suggested.

Ad Theshawty said, there is no evidence that matching the RIL to the radio will give you better performance. It does for some, it doesn't for others.

Ok you are right. I must be imagining that my data doesn't drop randomly now my radio and ril match. Maybe it's because I'm holding my phone differently now.

Dude no need to get upset. Different phones behave differently. No one said you were wrong. If it works for you great but my nexus didn't have a matching RIL and baseband either and was fine. The only data drops I had were with newer radios.
Jeez.

In addition, some of us have never had data drops, whether the RIL was matched to the radio or not.
I've tried a few different radios, and a few different RILs (matched and not matched), and I have not noticed any perceivable difference in reception/latency/throughput.

Look dude, the best thing is to just test different radios and RILs. Asking here what mix is best won't help you the least as the mix that work for someone might not work for you, at all.
I found that it didn't help avoiding data drops by running a 4.0.3 radio and RIL (for me) while running AOKP. I don't know whether my drops are because of AOKP, my carrier, a certain radio or simply a mix of all.

I wonder what actually differentiates all radios out there for the Galaxy Nexus, since most seem alike. I could run a UGLC1 radio in Europe as perfect as I could run a Europe radio.

That is indeed the $1 million question...
We need someone to disassemble the radios... if it is even possible.
Well really when it boils down to it they are all for the same frequencies so they cannot be TOO different..
