whats the best baseband you can get on Gnex for wind mobile? sorry if tis b een asked before did a quick search but didnt really find anything... anyways right now i have UGLK1 *stock 4.0.1* but i plan to flash JB through custom rom
Hi Ed,
I too am on Wind Mobile in Toronto (mostly downtown and just east of the DVP areas). I was using the UGLA4, which was the radio the phone came with but switched to the XXLF1 radio with matching RIL. I've found that the radio reception is very good, and arguably better than UGLA4.
I'm sure you've seen the thread but if not, you can find pretty much all the available radios and ril files here
Best radio is to download the latest ones and experiment to see which one is best for you. One radio is good for one person but another person it may be different.
Different for each person. Just try them and see what's best. I'd start with the latest 4.1 radio xxlf1

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.

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
Howdy,
Just wanted to see what radio T-Mobile users are using, and how good they're working. I'm on ARHD 3.0.0 and using the UGLC1 radio. My reception seems worse from when I had UGKK7 or the XXLA2.
There are literally dozens of threads on this.
It depends on your area. People are reporting good results with almost every radio out there.
I'm in Seattle and I've tried UGLA4 UGLC1 and XXLA2
I noticed signal strength *might* have been a little bit worse on the XXLA2 versus the other 2, but honestly, these are all so close. I just decided to go w/ the UGLC1 because it was the latest.
I get about 6-9mbps down and 3-4mbps up at my current spot (lower queen anne).
Thanks for the responses. I haven't seen much difference as well and I will stick with the latest uglc1 for a bit.
on XXKK6, Central Florida, absolutley no issue with signal, hell its better than my T989, or Nexs S was(reception where they would have none)
Please continue the conversation in one of the already established threads.

Attached below are fastboot and CWM images for a new radio that I just extracted from the Telstra 4.01 -> 4.04 OTA that was released yesterday.
The radio is DVLF1 (I9250TDVLF1) and has not been seen before.
This radio is best suited to 850mhz 3G networks.

Only been running it for an hour so far and seems OK, but will post further feedback after a few days.
But why? Just go Yakju... Telstra suck at updates

It's a Telstra radio, not the Telstra ROM. I've been yakju since day 1.. I flashed Telstra's ROM just to grab the new radio. DVKK6 has been awesome on Telstra, and the JB XXLF1 radio was terrible. Telstra users looking for the best radio may wish to try it, that is why.
Thanks for doing this!
So, just to confirm.. you're using this just fine with Jelly Bean?
Friends .. My baseband is i9250XXKK6 ... If I install this radio... is that worth... sorry... till today I dint flash any radio... is there any way to get my current radio backed up ?

You can find a backup here. Keep in mind that unless your carrier uses the 850MHz frequency, the stock JB radio might be better for you.

And you seem to be right, I'm on T-mobile here in the U.S. using AWS 1700/2100Mhz and this radio just plain sucks for me, it refuses to pick up 3G for me in my room where I get a good 3G signal, so I flashed back the stock Jelly Bean Radio XXFL1

Telstra's network uses 850mhz so should be fine on that band. Personally I'd only recommend this radio for Australian Telstra users.
Edit: just realized i misread your post and you said the same thing.

Can you please also pull and post the RIL, it makes sense to have them matched..you can find it in
system\vendor\lib\libsec-ril.so
Much appreciated.

Yeah no worries. I had already ripped it but hadn't gotten around to posting it yet. Here's the RIL zipped, and also a flashable CWM zip.
MD5 for libsec-ril.so: C5F26C3D9AEB859CB7F8B17F1DFA45B2
MD5 for the CWM zip: 652F2DACB2D755840ADE251C32321C81
Based on that MD5, it looks like it's the same RIL as XXLA2.

The original Telstra radio DVKK6 is awesome on 850mhz and the jury is still out on whether this new radio is any better, so if you're happy with that.. I don't see any reason to change.
From 24 hours use, this new radio seems very similar to DVKK6 and is performing well.. but it's not like there is a massive performance difference.
living in Panama on Cable and Wireless (850),this radio is a big jump. Going from -85db to -53db, after flashing and reboot.
Thank you very much
I just installed this radio and now I can't send SMS .....but I'm not 100% sure I didn't mess with a setting with 4636....can someone help with setting etc? Telstra in Melbourne, if that makes a difference.
Back to XXLF1 for me...
Gave this a try on 4.1.1 (Bigxie) but the reception on 3G was at least 10dBm lower (97+ vs 80-) throughout my tests, and it never left "3G" mode. Never switched to "H." Transfer rates were much slower, too - barely 1Mbps down, 100K up. Minutes later, 1.8Mbps down and 1M up on XXLF1.
It DID boot in the correct mode though - WCDMA Preferred.
The "International" JB radio/RIL works better for me; never had an issue with it, so I'm back on it.
Note: I did change the RIL to match the radio, so maybe if someone else tries this radio on JB they should keep the JB RIL and see if it makes a difference. I am in a congested cell, btw.
YMMV.

I suspect you've changed something in the service menu. Your SMSC might be incorrect. Try the fix below.
Telstra's SMSC is+61418706700 which must be entered in PDU format:07911614786007F0
- Open dialer
- Type *#*#4636#*#* then click on 'phone information', then scroll down to 'SMSC'
- click 'refresh'. If it is not 07911614786007F0, type it in and click on 'update'.
- Reboot.

not really. I have tried different radio still getting low speed. before I changed radio I have 3-5 Mbps, now can only reach 0.23 Mbps. I still don't know the problem is with radio or the data service. I actually have simple mobile. Their service is not good. Their advertising said the service is unlimited 4g speed no throttle so I signed up. I called customer service and they told me my account is normal. I may have to wait until end of month to get T-Mobile 4g to test my phone.
I have tried north America radio and takju radio, UG and XX. I'm using android 4.2 takju.
are you having any issue with radio? which service you have?
Hello !I live in greece and i have problems with low signal !is it a radio problem?if it is the radio which one should i flash for use in vodafone greece?if it's not is there anything else that i can do to strenghen the signal?thanks in advance! (i currently use I747UCLEM)
No one will be able to give you a definitive answer here. The best recommendation we can make, if you're willing to flash a different radio to your device, is to try different ones and see which one works best for you. It could just be that you're in an area that isn't covered well by your carrier, in which case a new radio would not resolve the issue. Check your carrier's coverage map for more info.
the coverage is ok!in the past i had motorola atrix 4g,and htc sensation 4g and other smartphones like note but all of them had full signal!also the radio i use is not the stock one i flashed it and it is slightly better than the stock one!the question obviously was for someone who lives in europe and has tried all the radios!thanks
Regardless, this is the AT&T GS3 forum. This question may be better asked in the international section.
