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.

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

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

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.

Can't really see any difference with regards to signal strength/performance.

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.

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

I agree the UGLA4 is newer but which frequency does it work better?
People need to understand that a baseband can work better or not depending on their frequencies...

In Samsung phones, radio/baseband are related with battery life too?

Well newer radios aren't necessarily better. There are so many factors and variables that will affect a radio's performance. Results will always vary based on their location, carrier, etc. There are just way too many variables.
In the end, it's all about the user's personal experiences if its better or not.
As far as frequencies.. not even going to go into the technology part of that because it's not worth debating over. I was just simply stating that this is a older radio and comes from a last year build to reduce the placebo effect of... "oh it's better!" simply because it was posted today but was a revision radio of yesterday. In actuality, this radio probably matches the XXKL1/UGKL1 radios but optimized more for Brazilians.

the radio signal receiving is the one that affects battery life. Getting a good radio driver is the only way to improve it.
Testing on my Galaxy Nexus with Vivo, until now i did not notice any diference
Tried this one in Oslo, Norway.
Gettings lots of Edge-connection and speeds around 5/2 when I get a decent HSDPA lock.
I'll revert to back to latest docomo radio for now.
Just flashed this baseband, i live in Argentina, hope this work well because i was having some problems with getting good connection
If I flash this radio baseband my phone will be able to update by Google OTA?

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

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.

All you can do is try them out and see which one works best for your situation. You might want to install GetRIL from the play store to make sure your RIL matches whatever radio you're currently using.
