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.

Question about 4.04 IMM76K radios

I tried posting this in the radio thread but I don't have 10 posts yet flashed the 4.04 IMM76K radios and boot loader on my Verizon LTE nexus three days ago and since then my notifications have been all jacked up. I've been only receiving texts and whatsapp messages. No Gmail, fb messages, or gchat. Anyone else having this problem? Also I know the blue means you're synced to google , is it normal to not be synced regularly? Whenever I switch to 4G it takes a long time to sync and when it does it doesn't stick too long. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a radios issue try other radios

Try doing a battery pull and SIM pull. That should update your PRL for the GNex 4G automatically.
Are you on stock or a ROM or Kernel? It could be a bug in an experimental ROM or Kernel.
Usually radios are for transitioning between Airplane Mode/2G/3G/4G from what I know. Its the PRL that's reception.
Also are those radios the new OTA ones that just got received a week or so ago?
I'm running AOKP milestone 4 along with the latest lean kernel and the OTA 4.0.4 radios and everything is running perfectly fine.

I will try the battery and sim pull. Yeah these are the OTA radios , along with those I'm running AOKP milestone 5 and Jame bond 3.0.19 I think it is. I'll let you know how that goes, thanks for the suggestion
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Yeah I heard there was issues with milestone 5 and the new radios. People complaining about reboots as well.
If the above doesnt work, do a Nandroid backup, as well as backup your apps with TB and flash milestone 4 with the new radios if you haven't.
Then compare the two. I'm having no issues with my setup whatsoever. Good luck and keep us updated.

So I reset the battery and sim. It seems to have done the trick! Thanks for the help how do you like lean kernel? I'm thinking about switching over
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I like it a lot, I switched over to Franco milestone 3 yesterday and haven't had problems either lol. Can't seem to tell the difference.
Make sure you don't type in that random number they say to update your PRL. The only way to update the PRL for a 4G phone is to do a SIM pull, then once it goes back in and you turn the phone on, it updates it.
Also when you are talking about the blue sync...if you mean when the signal bars turn blue, then that means its connected to 3G or 4G. When its gray, its 1x/2G which means its able to make calls ans text but nothing data wise.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Did you just flash the kernel or did you change any of the settings? And yeah I heard that was very bad haha. Are you sure about the data thing? I thought blue meant its connected to the Google servers

Thus far my favorite mod is my theme . And my favorite kernel is the samurai kernel. Although I have not ran it in a while. Waiting on The developer to finish his app and fix up his kernel a tad.

Heh doesn't sound like an easy fix. The signal anyways. Extracting the PRL is simple. And you need to use your PC not your phone. Though you can do it on your phone as well..
The PRL is the latest as well as the radios. But you could try flashing them again. I think sprints FD02 radios are messed up. I flashed the ones in our development section.
I also only get -100 and -93 which is between 1-2 bars in my house. But just about everywhere else i have 2-4 bars.

Well do you have another sprint phone to compare. It could just be that your area has sucky coverage. No radio or PRL will help you with that. The only thing I can think of is flashing a Verizon PRL. However that will be iffy because if roam too much sprint will cut you.

Pandora 1.7 not working

So I am a bit of a flashaholic and have used all the ROMs here on XDA and a few from elsewhere on my ToroPlus. My issue is while on the Sprint 3g network, no matter what ROM or kernel combo I have tested, I cannot get Pandora to work properly!
On WiFi it works just fine... but on 3g it will load album artwork, advertising pop ups. But will not play a song! Loads, holds, then skips on to the next track and repeats.
I live in southern Utah and the 3g speeds vary depending on time of day. I tested on off peak times where I've been getting over 1mb per second according to speedtest.net app and still no songs play. I can stream using Google Music with my 15,000 song library and even AudioGalaxy app.... both work just fine.
Pandora will not work correctly. I have tested .apk's from the market, "modified" versions from around the web, even backed up older versions of the app... all to the same result. Load, buffer, skip to the next. This has all been happening for the past few weeks as it worked fine before. I haven't changed my radio since upgrading to FG01 in July and all other apps that access data on my phone work and stream just fine.
Does anybody else have this issue? Anybody know a workaround? Maybe a buffer size adjustment at the kernel or build.prop level? Any help is greatly appreciated... I am no noob to Android or the Gnex, or with Sprint for that matter. I just need some help, cuz my 3g service ain't great in my area but it was enough to use Pandora until recently.
P.S. please don't reply with "mine is working fine" cuz that won't help, I've got a roommate and his Sprint phone and Pandora are just fine.

Works fine on CM10 and Faux123 kernel latest beta.

tried on three different roms and two kernels per rom. Now on stock ota JRO03U pandora 1.7 and it still only works on wifi. Also this has nothing to do with rooting because it also doesnt work on my wifes super stock e4gt. I think maybe it might have to do with sprint service.

I just downloaded an older version of pandora from 4shared and it worked. I think 1.7 is just not jellybean friendly at the moment. I am also unrooted.

I don't know? I see a lot of good reviews for 1.7 on other devices not associated with sprint.

Been streaming all day on CM10 on 3G. So whatever that causes the issue is in stock and fixed in CM

I got my gnex right after FG radio dropped and ran that ever since. I do recall my modified version of Pandora 1.5.8 worked fine there. Then all of a sudden... no more
I've recently jumped up to FH and my data speeds are overall much better. However, issue still remains with Pandora. I have been unlocked and rooted since June and the app diddddd work. I don't believe it is associated with root because the app never requests root privileges right?
Could be radio perhaps but comments here don't suggest that is the culprit.
I get 1mb+ data speeds and the app don't work for me!!

Should I flash...help

Here's the deal. I have one of the gnex's that had the bad 4g radio and couldn't stay connected to the network logger than 10 minutes. The jb update finally came and fixed. Scared to flash custom Rom in fear old problem might return. Has anyone had one the previously faulty phone and has since flashed a custom Rom with success?

You have nothing to lose but some time if you flash something and don't like it. If the update fixed your problem, almost all custom roms will be using an android version at least equal to what you are running now (most probably newer). You can make a nandroid to restore if you find you have problems with whatever rom you flash. If you don't want to do that, you can always use the factory images posted by google and restore your phone back to the version you are using now. Updated radios probably helped more than anything in a kernel or /system (which is all most custom roms contain - I don't think I've ever seen any that contain radios for the galaxy nexus).

Now running liquid smooth. 4g still strong thanks for the info.
