thank you.

Why do people make this thread every week, even tho the old ones are still there?
There's no perfect radio. Try the latest ones and see what works for you. I'm on XXLA2.
I got my GNex a grand total of 3 days ago and can tell you from my expert knowledge that the LA2 radio works very well on TMo.
Yeah dat.
there is no best radio because everybody lives in different parts of the world.
one radio may be good in one area whereas it may not be as good in a part of the world that YOU live in.

Hi guys,
I would like to know which radio is best to use with rogers/ Fido network. I presently use UGKL1 and I'm not that impressed. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm on fido and have the UGKL1 as well and find it much better than the one I had on my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. I have signal where I didn't before. i.e my 3rd level parking spot now has signal when I didn't before on the other phone... I'll try out some other radios and tell you if any are better...
Thanks I appreciated!

UGKL1 and UGKK7 work well. KL1 seems to be slightly better but its hard to say

There are too many variables for you to determine which radio is best for you, by basing it on other people's experiences.
This is only a partial list of factors that could vary between you and the person posting their thoughts:
location;
weather;
geography (e.g., obstacles, buildings);
proximity to cell tower;
network congestion;
etc.
The best way to see which radio is "the best" for you is to try each one out. And not for an hour. Try each one out for a couple of days and see what the difference is -- in real life I mean, not in speedtest.com
Sounds like great advice. Thank you!

Does this phone run well enough to be a daily driver on tmo with 4g while on the road even more doesit work with Att 4g lte? How do I knitter I'm getting the compatible one for my carrier which is TMobile right now, and roll be Att in the future. Where can I also get the best warranty and overall price with product quality guarantee? Is it necessary to get the western Europe version with yakja and will the be a quality difference in other versions from school the other regions?

I bought my Gnex from Expansys-usaafter reading that it was a pretty reliable place to get the yakju version. I also bought a Square Trade warranty for about $70 that includes accidental damage protection as well, just in case. I've had the phone for a couple of weeks now on T-mobile and it works perfect I travel with it daily and have yet to have a signal issue or anything like that.

The gsm version (aka not he verizon versions) will work as well as any phone. E.g. the bottlekneck will be the network, not the phone.

Hey I'm sorry, th banks for all the info and concern it is really helpful I appreciate the concern. Anybody know if the g nez is worth buying if it's going for 450 on new egg and Amazon? And will I be feeling different if I get a sakju alternative like from Japan or anything different from other parts of the world in Asia or East Europe which aren't directly supported from Google and end up changing out the radios and the firmware. Will the be a lead to a loss or success?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I think its a damn steal for $450 and I'd jump on it in a second. To me this is the best phone on the market going for such a cheap price.
Are all the gnez the same with hardware specs?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Let's say I get a different variation of sakju I should be able to turn my phone into sakju and get it working with Google like it too right?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
So what is the negative difference from the Amazon version and the yakju version, and would it matter if going to root and install custom roms?
Sent from tapatalk V6 B2 from ics powered vibrant
From what I understand yakju just means it has yakju radio and firmware for ota updates from Google, what I think is when you buy a gnez that you can mode it into yakju with flashes of radio and firmware. Just a thought.

I got my unlocked s3 so I can use it on T-Mobile and hate edge so I was wondering if flashing the blaze modem would allow me to get 4g like the at&t galaxy note did.

Blaze is a .gs2, it would probably brick. I wouldn't risk it. If anything I'd try the t-mobile .gs3 radio.

I been thinking...instead of messing with all that and end up with a brick, why just not sell it on ebay and buy an actual Tmobile one or maybe trade with someone willing to. I would look at the selling price for an AT&T GS3 on ebay and how much would a Tmobile run and if it's not that much difference then pay the difference than end up with a possible brick. Plus I have read some forums where if you flash some things that are not meant for your phone you can even mess up the IME on your phone with no way to flash it back at the moment until someone comes up with a solution for it.
Not trying to be a jerk. Just a friendly reminder that this is not development related and needs to be in general or QA. I would repost there and report your thread to a moderator before the pitch forks come out.

When I put my friends note to t mobile it was the modem you had to flash , if your set on doing it , read a bunch on ways to do the note WITHOUT a custom Rom then find the same files you use in that ( the modem and if I remember right there was one other thing ) then go to the t mobile section in the sgs 3 thread and ask for help finding those files , but do a lot of reading first cause it would be a shame to brick your awesome phone

buy the t-mobile version. it doesn't work hardware not supported
im looking into this as well, i had the att note and flashed the tmobile modem worked like a charm so now im looking to do same with s3. if i find anything ill let you know
I don't thonk it will work at all. Att's S3 is LTE, correct. Tmobiles is not. Two different hw radios used.
If you do try it please post your results for others!

I seriously wouldnt count on it. The two networks run on different technologies. Im pretty sure the hw is different due to this.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Have you guys tried the radios in the dev section by wildchld? I'm not sure it will work either but maybe worth a try. It has a script that backs up current radio and you can revert back. Atleast on T-Mobile s3 it does. Just need to reflash the restore zip to go back to previous radio. Again try at your own risk. There's a huge chance you can brick your device.

I don't think it matters if the Gs3 from T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, I used to have my Galaxy s2 skyrocket with LTE running on T-Mobile 3G/4G off a GS2 Hercules Modem.

Then by all means, give it a shot. I have no problem being proven wrong on stuff like this!
Just remember that was a different phone. And tmobiles radio Im pretty sure was confirmed to NOT support LTE. So they are different.
I'm definately looking forward to hearing someones results after trying! Just do some research on the two radios, and make sure the sw modem is on the same partition for each phone. (I think it will be. But if its not you could end up with serious problems)
Good luck to whomever tries it!

Probably won't, the T-Mobile phone is pentaband so it will run 3/4G on AT&T, but their version isn't. Try it though.

Hi all, i travelling to hawaii soon, and was thinking about purchasing a galaxy s3 while i am there, will i have any problems using this phone once i return to australia, i also noticed there are many variants of the s3, is there any i should avoid, or are they all the same but with different bundled software ?
i am keen to flash this device with custom roms in the future, so bundled software is not a huge concern of mine
Its either at&t or T-Mobile versions of galaxy s3 will work in your country but remember it will be sim locked...
Edit: might vary in Hawaii not sure if T-Mobile has network there...
Sent from my SGH-T999V using XDA Premium HD app
They definitely have network there. My brother just moved there, and there are a few members on here also.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yes there's network here. Lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 with frosty jellybeans.
Wouldn't i be able to use the application 'GalaxSim Unlock' to unlock the sim, or would the S3's in hawaii likely be the Us qualcomm based GS3's ?
Why dont you just get one in Australia? Seems like a lot of trouble to go through? When you in Hawaii you just have to put a prepaid sim in it for it to work. Then when you go back home you have a phone that works well for your country without the hassle of doing something special to the phone to make it work for you. Plus you wouldn't be able to access the 4G networks of the Australian carriers with US variants.

Because they are much cheaper to buy, also, i do not consider unlocking/flashing etc to be a difficult task, i actually enjoy it, call it a pastime that i enjoy if you wish.
Also, only the 4G version of the S3 is going to work on a 4G network, so if i dont buy the 4G version, its not going to be a problem anywhere in the world
Fair enough.

What? All versions of the S3 are "4G". The one in hawaii will be Qualcomm based. If you buy an ATT one in Hawaii the LTE will not work in Australia

i beg to differ in regards to your comment of 'All versions of the S3 are "4G"'
I killed my S3 tonight and am looking at either the DNA or the Note 2. I had bad reception problems with the S3 (got a replacement and it was worse!). Every phone I had before the S3 worked fine in my house (fringe) and the S3 I had to go outside. Anyone have both and notice a difference? Don't know if they have the same radios in them. If they do I am probably going to try the DNA...
Thanks - Keith
I'm assuming your on Verizon since you are considering the DNA you may want to try asking there.
However I do get awesome reception on my note!
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yeah I did ask over there and everyone says the DNA gets better reception than the S3. So now I need to know if the reception is better on the Note than the S3...

Reception is about the same. Not much of a difference.
I believe dmtdan is referring to the fact that this is the Sprint Note 2 forum. You might want to ask this question in the Verizon Note 2 forum.

I'm on Sprint and I have a the Note 2 and I do get slighty better service than my wife on her S3 in fringe areas.. but I'm running different software on my modem than she is too. Not sure what the difference would be out of the box. I didn't check before I rooted and started flashing

I suggest you try getting an air rave.
you can get one for free if you call the air rave department at sprint and tell them about your spotty connectivity.
basically puts a tower in your house.

Qualcomm antennas? Nope. All Samsung antennas, just a simple piece of flat metal attached to the board.
