Hi,
I wonder if I need to update radio. Are there some important changes? I bought Galaxy Nexus a haf year ago, rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I do not know if it is worth, And if so, which one shall I choose? I have GSM. I went trhough a post where there were so many of links for radios and just somehow did't get which one I should choose.
Please, can you give me a really brief advice? Thank you!

The latest is FH05 and if you took a 4.2 ota then you should already have it. Personally, I see little difference in signal strength and reliability. However, I have noticed that 4.1.2 based ROMs don't like the FH05 radio very much. Regardless of the ROM I'll randomly lose all service sometimes and have just generally odd things happen. Works fine on 4.2 based builds though.

Thank you! But I didn't find this radio in the list. I also wasn't much succesfull using search bar. Do you have a link for this radio for GSM GNex? Thanks again!

I just flashed 1.39.00.05.31 Radio from toastcfh here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696462
Seemed to go fine, and 3G works fine as well. I am able to turn on my 4G via the widget, but even though I am in an area that has had 4G (my office in NYC) it is not connecting since I updated the radio.
Have I broken something? what do I do to resolve? I searched and found several 4G solutions, but I'm having trouble determining what exactly the problem is.
Thanks!

That radio is one not the current one. If you are running a ROM based off the latest OTA then you need to have the latest Wimax and radio to work for 4G. That is based off my experience though.
I would flash the latest radio and wimax and test it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
This will help if it still does not work with the latest Wimax fix

crap, someone needs to take that link down it's in the sticky on the android dev forum! So much for reading the stickies being beneficial, ha ha. Oh well I should have noticed the post was old.
Thanks a bunch! - Does the order matter? Also, when you install a rom, does it touch the radio or wimax radio normally? or that completely independent?

I have flashed the Radio and Wimax and they are working great. I am not sure if the order matters, but I flashed the Radio-rebooted Wimax-rebooted. I didn't have have any problems so take that for what it's worth...

Not that I have the Verizon Nexus .. but yeah its coming out... it was updated and it seems another user got the update as well. =]
- Galaxy Nexus
I hope someone can post the radios as flashable zip. Gotta be patient hehe
I guess if u clear the Google services framework within app and press check for update... perhaps it'll work =]… if it doesn't the first time.. try 10 more times. It will say last checked on 1969 ... disregard that
- Galaxy Nexus
Looks like it is rolling out (or at least starting to).
For anyone who has received it, would you mind looking in the log files in /cache/recovery and try and find the name of the update file (ending in .zip) please and post it in this thread. Thanks.
Cannot wait for the new radios. FC instead of FA. Wonder what they did?

Just reading through the comments on the article, seems a couple people are getting (Much) better signal strength. Whatever they did it seems to have worked! (Maybe they just poured butter all over the radio code?)

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?
So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.
OK I'm running the leaked 4.0.4... I'll have to revert to 4.0.2 yo receive this correct? And I installed Franco's kernel last night. Anywhere I can pick up stock kernel?

Just use a tool like Wugs or the GNEX toolkit to relock and unroot.

I am biting the bullet and flashing back to stock to try and capture it.
Don't hold your breath of course. The only reason I put any merit in this is one of the radio versions is listed in AOSP.
i actually love my rooted 4.0.4 and my hybrid radio... like others id be more interested in the actual OFFICAL radio...

I (and I'm sure all of us) appreciate it. I wish there was a way to force the update, other than sacrificing chickens and whatnot.

No need to "un-root", and no need to re-lock. Makes no difference.

OH he has the OTA. My bad, it's early for me . I was like WTF you can't receive an update with a custom rom.

No, you are right -- you can't receive the update with a custom ROM, but a rooted stock ROM is perfectly fine. Bootloader lock/unlock makes no difference.

Hi Guys,
I just got an OTA on my phone. It doesn't say what is it?
I saw on Tmo site that ICS will be manual via Kies and there will be no OTA.
Does any one know what is this OTA?
Im rooted/cwm on stock and not sure if to install or not.
Thanks for the input

Its the LDE update. Safe to install, but you will lose root. If you want more....please use the search thread tool.......damn it.....
Sent from the Darkside, ICS style
Tanks for the reply.
I will get the ICS from Tmo for now until dark-side will make the Tmo version base rom.
Since they are out i dont see a reason to go on the telus rom and might have issue with radio, revered compass and whatever.
Thanks for the reply.
I'll wait.

well you can use the darkside telus version that doesn't have the telus radio.
and do people really download and use the compass app a lot? I would understand if you guys go camping and whatever, but if you're concerned about the directions you're pointed to on google maps then that is not reversed. Maps' "compass" is completely correct.
You can use telus radio and tmobile radio interchangeably because they use the same bands.
So the only issue is the reversed compass (not maps). There are no "whatever" issues lol
Thanks,
I didn't know the compass is the only issue.
No, i don't really need the compass on a "daily base" GPS is better

I have a Verizon galaxy nexus currently running apophis's build of the Aokp with linaro. This newest build is 4.2.2. I started having service connection issues after flashing his previous build which was my first 4.2.2 Rom. I also had changed Pimp my Rom settings but have since changed them back. If I'm on a call or my phone is just sitting there it will sometimes just drop service. Sometimes it reconnects, most of the time I have to restart. I don't know what it is. It didn't happen to me before I flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. I don't know if it is the Rom or the pimp my Rom settings I had or what.

In the Verizon dev subforum, stickied at the top, is a radio thread. Download the latest radio, the one for JB. Make sure you check the md5 sum before flashing.

Thanks for the reply, this has been pretty annoying. I realized my phone has trouble switching from one tower to another. I found the sticky. Should I just flash the radios for 4.1.1? That is the newest version they have for JRO030.

Yes, afaik those are the newest radios available to us and the ones I am using. If those end up not performing for you, you may want to look into some of those hybrid radios that people use, but I cant help with those because I have no experience with them.
Make sure you check that md5 sum before flashing.
My gf just got the s3 for sprint. I have verizon. but she had a iphone and got good signal but now shes on the s3 she gets no signal at work. i updated the pri and profile but nothing helps. anyone know what i can do? thanks!
The Signal is dependent on many variables. Switching Carriers would be one of the those. It may that her previous Carrier had better coverage there. If she is Rooted, you could try a different Firmware / modem combo. If she is not, then the only thing you can do is Update PRL /Profile as you stated you alraedy did.
A signal booster helps tremendously! I had great coverage with my previous carrier but when I switched to Sprint I wouldn't get hardly a single bar, if any, in my condo. I installed a booster at home and problem solved!

It all depends on whether her device is Rooted or not ? If it is I would first check what the Baseband is currently. It will give an indication of what to do next. Also if her device is Rooted you may want to check out THIS thread.

its not rooted atm but will be when she lets me use it lol. thank you!
Your welcome. If it's not Rooted, and she will not let you yet. At least make sure it is on the latest OTA.
You may have 4g coming your way! My signal was completely abysmal. Now I have full 4g.

Make a Nand Backup. Flash a TW Rom. Turn on WiFi, and Update PRL / Profile. Check to see it worked. If that doesn't work. While still on a TW Rom go to the Dial Pad, and dial ##72786# .
