I was wondering if some kind person smarter than myself could package the old Leaked CDMA 4.0.4 radio with the new OTA Official LTE 4.0.4 radio please.
I have read nothing but good things about the new LTE radio but my phone no likey the new CDMA radio. Was much worse signal strength and was chewing thru my battery all day until I flashed the old Leaked package.

Hello,
I bought a SGN and 4G was acting really flaky on me, as in even dropping calls. I had No Signal Alert installed and I was loosing connection about every 15-20 mins. In any event, I took it to a VZW store and held my Nexus next to theirs. I dropped connection, theirs didn't.... I exchanged my phone.
Now, I have a new Nexus and it is working great! No drops, speed isn't the best, but I will happily take slower speeds over dropouts. I have not updated this phone to 4.0.2 intentionally because it is working so well. Is there a copy of the 4.0.1 radio anywhere? I don't want to update and be stuck with 4g issues again.
Current baseband is I515.09 V.EK01 / I515.EK02 (4.0.1)
Does the baseband change in 4.0.2? Can someone confirm?
If so, how can we get back to the 4.0.1 radio?
Thanks!
on 4.0.2 mine shows
I515.09 V.EK05/I515.EK02

Thanks man! So I wonder if there is anyway to get an update.zip of the old 4.0.1 baseband/radio?
I don't want to update to 4.0.2 unless I know I can revert back to the old baseband/radio.... I may have to root the phone in 4.0.1 and try to block the update.
I have this strange feeling that the 4g dropping issues were introduced in 4.0.2.
i never got to use mine before the update. im guessing it was updated at the store before i got it. havent had any signal issues on the new one yet.
Yup, a lot of people in various forums complained that signal issues began after upgrading to 4.0.2.
the stock 4.0.1 radio should be in the package for your device here --> http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju
the GSM 4.0.2 stock image has a new radio image in, so i assume the others do as well.
Well I just tried flashing my LTE Nexus with the 4.0.1 radios and now only wifi works. I'm trying things now and I will report back if anything changes.
Thanks for the link!
In answer to my own question... I upgraded to 4.0.2 and the radio performance appears to be on par with 4.0.1.
This just confirms that my original SGN, which dropped all data and cell connections every 15-20mins had bad hardware. My new phone works fine with 4.0.2 and the same sim.

DO NOT USE THIS PACKAGE ON VERIZON PHONES!
This is the base package for GSM phones, not Verizon's CDMA/LTE phones. Flashing this will cause the radios to become useless until you flash the correct files.
The GSM version is base yakju, while the CDMA/LTE version is mysid.
The radio files you'd want/need are here hxxps://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz (replace hxxp with http).
And if you don't want to take my word on it, here's where I found those files hxxps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-building/pJDz7jxCNkk/hH5q1W6x0iwJ
Hope this helps someone.
Just got a great deal on a Nexus ($250) and am currently using it with T-Mobile in Tampa/Wesley Chapel, FL. Just flashed JB along with the JB baseband and signal is okay compared to what it came with. Any advice (stay, go to UGXXX, or back to XX___). Thanks.

you'll have to try the radios to find what works Best for you. It can vary with location, weather, buildings around you, cell towers nearby, congestion, how you hold your phone, military bases nearby, etc.
Knew it wouldn't be this easy. Thanks, though.

There's no perfect radio. Everyone will have different results with different radios.
FWIW I'm using the stock 4.1 w/ xxlf1 radio and it's fine on T-Mobile.
just got back to a galaxy nexus and man it feels so natural lol
I had an update to 4.2.1 and since then i noticed that my LTE is extremely slow now. Mind you Im connected to an LTE repeater and my sprint coworkers are pulling in some amazing number but mine cant pull more than .4 megs.
Ive updated profile, prl and hard reset. (im on the sprint nexus btw)
Im not rooted but i wonder if i should root and just push a modified build.prop
any help will be appreciated.
is there anything i can add to the build.prop that can improve data speeds?
ive been ablt to do it on gsm android phones, but im not sure if i can do it on a cdma device
Try different radios

FH05 radios work far better for me than the GA02 radios. My nexus won't stay connected to 4g on ga02 radios but it's stable on fh05. You may want to try asking in the sprint nexus developer section if no one can help you here
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus with Sprint running ParanoidAndriod 3.55. I think my radios are older and I need to update them. My baseband version shows L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FC12 which I understand thier are newing radios out to download. I am having issues with signal lose making phone calls and what not. I live in a area where Sprint should have no issues with service wihich I have never had before. I am hoping that updating my Radios will help. Can someone please tell me which one are the newest and the best way to install them. Thanks.

I live in Overland Park, KS where Sprints headquarters are. Sadly I get crap signal no matter where I am even with most recent radios.

Thanked you by mistake, actually.
4G symbol on status bar is a cosmetic thing... Since LTE is considered to be 4G... and vice-versa
