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

For you guys with Galaxy Nexus on AT&T, which baseband do you have it installed? UG or stock XX? Just wondering which baseband offer best signal quality on AT&T.
I had UGKK7 up until last night and I like it overall but I just found out yesterday while going out with family in downtown Seattle area that my data connection suck. Basically it is really really slow or I get no data connection when I try to browse. At the very spot that I had very slow data connection or get no data connection error, I was able to use my wife iPhone 4 to browse internet fine. Although a little slower to usual, it was able to get on internet and browse fine.
So I was wondering which baseband you guys using on AT&T network?
I am currently using XXKK1 and have no issues.
stock here. faster down and up and the wife's iphone. make sure you are previsioned for the 4G data plan.
Not on AT&T but on T-Mobile, XXKK6 for me.
XXKK1 on AT&T with no issues.
Thanks guys. I just installed XXKK1 this afternoon. So far everything is running fine. I need to take a trip to downtown or mall setting where there are lots of people to really test this out.

Is there any way to do this if I currently have an iPhone unlimited data plan on my account?
XXKK6 and my performance dramatically increased over XXKK1.

hmm, best bet is to borrow a friend who has one of the AT&T 4G phone (inspire, infused, atrix). pop in your sim, call att to have them grandfather you to the unlimited 4G smart phone plan.
Currently using XXKK6 and it stinks over K1. My uploads are about the same, but downloads are about half.
UGKK7 right now. But these modems are region sensitive so you have to trial and error to find the best one for you.
Initially stock XXKK1 didn't give me good signal strength however data speeds were consistent within 2.0 - 2.5 mbps. With UGKK7 signal strength is a lot better than XXKK1 in most areas where I usually go (30 mile radius from Philly) however my data speeds are not consistent at all ... now I see anywhere from 700 kbps all the way to 6.5 mbps.
I am sticking with UGKK7 as it gives me the best signal (min 4 bars) and data speed (2.0 - 2.5 mbps) at home ...

That's awesome about your Dad, heck there's a good chance we've crossed paths In New Braunfels I get anywhere from 6-11 on downloads, which is plenty fast for me. Fyi, I'm actually the admin of one of the largest Texas Mason websites: www.masonsoftexas.com there are a handful of others on xda as well.
Anybody using The Ugk ones on ATT?
XXKK6 here
if you want to flash custom rom and stuff
i think u have to have XXKK6 or later baseband
tried UGKK6, UGKL1 and XXKL1
not much difference honestly
so went back to stock XXKK6
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.

mines vary... UGLC1 is the newest radio of them all though.
UG = North America
L = 2012
C = March
1 = Revision 1.

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.

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

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
Hello all. Reason I started this thread, is to find out what everyone is using Radio wise. Trying, to get a better understanding of which radios work best in different locations of the world.

Not really. All it does is help me with what radios are new and old. Not many people are saying where, geologically they are located. That's what this thread is for. The Geo of fellow members to better know which radio works best for your backyard. Not saying the other thread isn't working. Just want to get a better knowledge with Geo locations.

Flash some different radios and see how the reception is. Since things change so drastically from phone to phone and area to area, the best thing to do is try it yourself and see what works best.

So far I've flashed. UGKK7 no go with HSPA+ just HSPA. Also, UGKL1 same results. The UGHL1 gets me HSPA+. Trying more as we speak.

Thank you sir. XXLF1 does pretty good on my side too. I'm still testing here and there, for better results.
#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
Went ahead and gave UILE1 + XXLF1 (RIL) a try once more. So far pleased now.. came out with better results than I was having 2 days ago. Results came to look as the Upload kept capping @ 1.75 and Capping @ 5.33 for DL..

Hello,
I'll soon be an T-Mobile user (SGS3).
I've been with Verizon for almost 13 years and have owned 3 HTC phones. Currently have a Incredible 2.
Is there anything I should know about the network?
How's the speed?
I'm lucky if I hit 2.8 down and .8 up (3G).
What about the phone? Is there any quirks?

It really depends on your location. I hit 15 down and 2up here in vegas, service is pretty good so far but it depends on your location as I said. The phone is just really great you wont be dissapointed :thumbup:

I came from a inc2 to the gs3 and i couldn't be happier, my download speeds in Minneapolis are usually around 22mbps down and 3 mbps up. This phone is amazing. Lots of custom rom's, Perfect for a flashaholic.
have you checked the coverage map on t-mobiles website? Also, I'll throw in the link that will show you the best modem to use in your area on your S3, if you're into flashing. The only problems with this phone ( and all recent samsung products is in past 5 years), were wifi issues(weak signal and wifi calling error) and the audio quality from the camcorder. Both Issues were resolved with the Jelly bean update though. . The audio playback and recording feature is also pretty top notch now. My only complaint that I could find, is that VOODOO Sound app isn't available for our devices...yet. Its coming though!! The S3 is definitely your best choice! There is supposedly another update coming in december or January to 4.2

Ive looked around and have not seen anyone talking about this. I have an lg nitro stock rom, no case, no other problems butI consistently get 1-2 fewer bars than my ther phones with the same sim.I get dropouts in places I would normally get good service. I bought the phone from an ATT user I know and it was basically new. 4g is Terrible unless I have great service. Does anyone have any advise on the subject?
Thank you!
Wish I had good advice, but I will say that my original stock ROM had the best reception and download speeds.
