Play Store Tmobile US radio opinions. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Got my GN from the play store running on Tmobile US and am wondering what people's experiences are for the best radio version. Right now I am running XXLF1 and have no serious issues but like most people here just wanting to see if I can get improvements. Thanks in advance.

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.

A few questions about a I9250T on Att.

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.

Just try it out. If you're not happy with the performance its very easy to flash a different radio and compare. There's no perfect radio for everyone.

Yes, apparenty you did
UGLC1 eh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the March 2012 Canadian Radio? Because I'm trying to stick with the latest release designed for Canadian HSPA+ carriers.
Wifi signal is way better.. Nothing is dropping Thanks for the upload.

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

UG = North America
L = 2012
C = March
1 = Revision 1
This is the newest radio that we've ever had. Newer than UGLA4 & XXLA2
Any difference from UGLA4?

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.

Best radio for GSM GN?

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.
In case you haven't seen the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345

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?
Best reagards.

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.

EDIT: Every time I try to flash it, it aborts installation. Halp?

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

JRo03o fixes 4G

Just so everyone knows I have a Nexus that was part of the "bad batch"
If you're like me and never got around to getting a replacement or just did want a refurb I'm here to tell you that the latest radio does indeed fix the 4G issues. I was surprised because we all came to the conclusion that the radios themselves were faulty.
So make sure you head to [Radios][VZW] ALL the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Radios and flash the latest radio, unless you're still unrooted than I'm sure you'll get the OTA soon.
Anyway, cheers.

This is great news, as I am on my 6th bad nexus and was trying to decide if I should go for a7th or not. Now if only there was a completely effective trick to force the OTA. I tried the stopping and starting off Google frame work to no avail. Anyone know if Verizon can and will force the update to select phones?

Well if you're unrooted waiting for the OTA they said you'll need to connect to WIFI and they wont do real OTA until October. So try connecting to WIFI and going to about phone and check for update there.

[Q] Best radio

I'm looking for the best radio. I have the T-mo S3 currently running PAKangs 1.40 rom (4.1.2). Reception in my area isn't that great especially in certain spots. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your best bet is to try different ones and see which works best for you. Different people have different results depending on the area they are in, in fact some people go so far as to keep different radios on their SD for when they plan to be in another area for a while.

Not sure. But I'd recommend you start with the newest radio and work your way down until you're happy. The new radio released yesterday seems to be giving everyone decent results.

There is a sticky thread in dev for modems.
But the latest one isn't in the op. So go to the last page and work backwards until you find a link. I think I posted it in there.
