With ICS I couldn't get even 1 4g BAR at work. Finally on JB and I have full strength at work . No wonder sprint waited so long. They were squeezing our bandwidth by device and OS.

It took a while to load a Web page and would oscillate between 3g and 4g. Now it's stable and fast. My 3g seems more useful too whereas before 3g was equivalent to no data at all.

The new radio is a lot better. I have considerably better speeds up to almost two megabits down on evdo. The statement that the os itself probably didn't change a ton except how the speeds are reported is true though.

Seems like they would've addressed the inferior radios before JB. Makes me think it was a form of throttling.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Took HTC and Sprint forever to address the lousy radio on the EVO3d when it was released. I was surprised when I went from a Transform to a 3d and was surprised by the slower loading webpages... Yeah not a fun experience to get a faster phone to be hobbled by the actual firmware.

They probably try to do as few otas as possible, to minimize costs and technical errors. Perhaps Qualcomm released new stuff, but I doubt sprint, one of the slower networks, would want to throttle their devices.

Radios can make your performance worse as well. Perhaps flash an old one from zv7,8, or 9

Yes they can, my phone did not want to send text messages after the JB ota, and my 4g signal sucked too.
Does anyone have flashable radios from ICS that i can flash onto this ****ty jelly bean update?

Considering how big New York is, their might not be a clear answer. Best thing is to flash them one by one, and find out for yourself.
Since am also in NYC of them all that I've tested to be so called the "best" is the note radio uvlg3 then the newest uvlh5 blaze radio..

Sit on your couch. Download a few radios, get the signal strength app, flash a radio, check your dBm and download speeds.
This sort of thing varies for everyone and there is never a clear cut answer.

Here is the Korean firmware. We can probably kang something useful. Don't attempt to flash. It isn't made for Sprint phones and you will turn your phone into a paper weight or an iPhone.

If you flash the F180L version you can boot and use the phone. Your radios won't work though. You will still have WiFi. Any devs who feel generous might be able to port this.

Maybe ZVB was the soak test and ZVA is the final rollout. I thought something was weird today when LG's source code link was down.
It could be like Microsoft where no matter the real build number, it is released as zva. Think windows 7. The final build number was 7600, but the real build would've been 73xx. Or on my epic, they made builds after the official ota, but released earlier ones. No way to know why. Probably some bug.
