Develop Bugs

Finally rooted my nexus

Now what? I used the toolbox which makes rooting and flashing way more useful then what I was used to with my fascinate.
I'm not sure what to do now. I'd like some feedback about which roms you guys are the best.
Like many of you I've been having issues with my radio, no data network, poor signal etc.
Is it worth flashing a new radio? Would it make much difference or is it not worth it? I'd hate to go so far that I can't get back to stock when updates become available.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

as long as you don't brick your phone, you can always go back to stock. There's no difference between going kinda far from stock and all the way from stock. Its just as easy to go back.

Definitely try the 4.0.4 radios.
And what the guy above said...
Returning to stock is always the same.
Flash a few images and relock = stock.

I'm currently using AOKP and I've found it to work for me. Radio-wise, I have no clue but everything works just as it should. I doubt I'll see a real world benefit in having a different radio.

Well, definitely do NOT flash CM9 first. Because once you've tried CM9 all the other roms will just be a disappointment. ;-)
But seriously, just try a few roms. There are some really good ones. I prefer CM9 (bugless, fast, and friendly for your battery), but AOKP is also very popular (feature-rich but some more bugs I believe). It's always easy to make a nandroid backup and restore it whenever you want.

Thanks all. After bricking my fascinate twice I became a little gun shy when it comes to mods. The tool box makes it so simple though, I couldn't resist. I'm trying cm9 as soon as I get home

I actually just rooted yesterday to combat my extremely poor signal here in Chicago on T-Mobile. My problem now is I have zero service on nearly every radio now. Tried them all waited 10 mins and rebooted and no signal bars. On 2 of them I can get bars but no service. I have upload arrows absolutely no download arrows. And I'm actually trying to load the market or xda and it just times out.
Edit: Sorry for the thread hijack buddy. Found my exact issue here.

Radio LOSS and LTE issuez

Hello,
I recently flashed patient zero with the 4.04 system and radios.. ever since then I get signal loss and have to restart my phone as well as when I turn on LTE and there's no 4G signal it won't switch back to 4G.. I posted this question on Droidhive but haven't received a response. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue with 4.04. Thanks!

Have you just tried to return to stock? Or at least re-flashing the ROM?

Your on patient zero man... its way less stable than crossbreed . Hence why Droid theory said its for crack flashers who don't mind a few bugs because it has more features.
I'm also on Patient Zero; same thing happens to me. Its a deal with and wait till next build or swap roms
Did you flash the "get ready.zip"? It has the 4.04 radio and baseband . Once I did that I got way less drop outs.

Yeah I flashed the get ready package before flashing the rom..

Low 4G Speed On ICS Roms

Okay so here is my story.
I have had this phone since it was first released. I have rooted my phone successfully and I have been using custom rom's since gingerbread.
Whenever I install ICS roms, the 4G will always fall to <100kbps on the speed test app. When I go back to gingerbread the 4G speeds are normal.
I've tried about 20 different ICS modems and kernels on various ICS roms and I get the same results.
Just today I went to the Sprint store and got my phone replaced thinking maybe I just had a bad phone. I just installed another ICS ROM and I'm getting the same Bull**** 4G speeds... WTF (I'm tight)
Any advice, tips, ideas, or am I just a duncebat?

When I talk to other people on the ICS Rom threads it sounds as if I'm the only one with that problem and everyone else's speeds are just fine.

I get that same problem. And it gets stranger still. I pay for 30Mbps internet at home. If I speed test on my computer, I get 30, or damn close to it. But when I speed test on my phone, I get a whopping 10. Since wimax is wifi, I am guessing that its a problem in the modem related to wifi. Anyone else experiencing this?

Slow Upload 512Kbps.. On wicked rom V1 Help!!

Guys,
I'm on Wicked V1 I love the rom great battery life and very stable.. My problem is that I've been getting about 13mb Download which is ok but my Upload is only 512Kbps.. Why do you think my data is acting this way?
The download got a bit faster after installing a new radio but not the upload..

I doubt your Rom has anything to do with it just my $0.02

Are you underclocked?(Ive noticed that being underclocked slowed my connection speed) What modem are you on?

You could try editing this line in your build.prop.
Ro.ril.hsupa.category=
I find 8 works best for me but 7 and 9 work well too. 9 is the highest category I've verified but 10 did pretty well on my phone.
Mine was worse than yours and I now get 2-4 mb uplink pretty consistantly.
Reboot after changing the value. Then test.
Use root explorer or super manager to browse to the file and edit it if possible. And always have a recent nandroid handy...just in case.

Also data problem
I hope this post is okay to be here. Can't find help anywhere else. I am running Wicked_JB v2. My baseband is T999UVLJ4. On T-mobile in Georgia, USA. This is about the 4th custom ROM I've had on my Galaxy S3. I really like it because it is custom but keeps some TouchWiz features that I actually like. My problem is that now the data signal in the notification bar is showing G where I used to always get Edge. I'm not sure if the G is misleading and I'm still on Edge or if I am truly not getting Edge service. I haven't yet been to an area where I used to get 3G, so I don't know if this is working. I have no problem with WiFi. I didn't flash any different kernel or radio. I'm not super comfortable with that. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I am loving this ROM and hope I can get this small problem resolved.

worth switching?

Hi , I'm currently using Lg g2x
and it seems like this phone is a good option for me right now.
i have a few question for the phone.
1. How are the driver and development support for this phone? ( both from samsung and devs)
my g2x is a pain right now because LG did not release enough drivers and we have no fully working ICS/JB and developments are dying....
2. Are there screen burn in problems?? (This was the major reason why I tried to avoid AMOLED phones)
3. what is your general opinion?
Thank you

This phone and the dev support kicks ass. I had no qualms about keeping this through the S3 cycle, and every time I think I want to upgrade, I'm reminded that this phone does everything I want it to do.

Oh I was reading development thread and I saw that some ROMS need to flash radio? and I read about people flashing radio file. (ULV..etc)
What is it? is it necessary? are there ROMS requiring specific radios? Thanks!

I'm in Canada as well(however with Wind Mobile) and so far the stock koodo or Telus radio suits the best(most reliable, no data drops, etc). You may try different radios from the thread below to see if any of those works better for you with your provider. The stock koodo is there too if you wanna go back to that.
Radios in general affect the mobile signal, data connection and wifi signal. On a side note, the Telus Jellybean release is just around the corner for our device (April), we will see how is the bundled radio performs once it drops.

Flashing a custom rom(unless stated otherwise by the rom developer) won't touch your radio. So in theory your signal and other radio characteristics will remain the same. However based on the feedback in the radio thread some radio performs better for some user depending on their location(most of them are US based Tmobile customer). So it's about trial and error, try them and see if you have better results with different ones (signal, ping, download/upload, voice quality, battery life).
For Wind mobile here in my location (Ottawa) the koodo radio is the champ.
