GNex From Hong Kong to London - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys,
I need some advise for my phone. I have recently moved to London and signed up with T-Mobile here. I have noticed that my phone tends to have a rather unstable reception.
At times I would lose data completely. Could this be that I'm using a phone brought from Hong Kong? Perhaps I need to change its radio.
I am using Paranoid Android.
Thanks for your advise.

You maybe should try to flash the latest radio.. Or even the Factory image.

Have you tried a factory reset? Did you receive it NIB?

This depends entirely on T-Mobile's service in your area, not the SIM card.

What he said.
It's pretty much the same as your existing T-Mobile phone, if not.. better.
what he said, but.....
it also depends on which radio you have installed. Samsung has a handful of different5 radios depending o where the phone was originally marketed for. All are basic GSM 5-band capable but each one has minor tweaks for specific networks. There are several threads on here debating which radio works best. Do a search if you are interested. For mine, the XXKK6 radio it arrived with (ordered from the UK) gets comparable reception to any other phone I have used on T-Mobile. You can see the radio version under settings .. about phone .. baseband version. Changing radios is easily done if rooted and you have basic mod skills.
My service wasn't the best at first but after I flashed UGKL1 radio my data speeds on HSPA+ went from 2mbs down up to 10mbs consistently.

New baseband 4.2 any difference?

Anyone notice a difference with new baseband? Not sure if I need to flash it or not. I'm running 4.2 just didn't change bb.

I will do so real life testing tomorrow and I will report back.

I've noticed a huge difference in signal strength. With the old baseband I used to get 2 bars around home and the office.
I switched to DVLF1 from the i9250T for 850Mhz networks and got a slight boost.
But with the 4.2 one I've got full reception at home and office. Also noticed an increase in voice quality.

Thanks guys. I haven't changed baseband since I got my nexus. With my g2x there were always problems when changing.

Baseband is only for maguro correct?

With the new baseband I am getting an additional two bars where I never had any. Seems to be a lot more power efficient as well.

My Gnex used to not be able to pick up any signal in the basement, now it at least keeps one bar in the worst scenario.

Great, now you can stay in there for good.

I flashed last night. So far it seems to be doing great. Don't know that my signal is any stronger but it didn't seem to hurt anything.

Best response ever
When a Galaxy Nexus updates OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.2, this baseband update is also included, right?
Nuno
Is the new baseband part of the 4.2 OTA we are starting to receive or is it something that has to be flashed separately ?
If not within OTA, is it not official? How are average users ment to benefit from the improvements ?
thanks
Of course it is part of the OTA. Chill out.
Signal strength on par with all recent basebands.
One huge difference: I keep getting 10 to 13 mbit/s download with XXLH1, whereas I barely got past 5mbit/s on all previous basebands.

Could it be possible I have flashed a sim locked image and flashed that? If so can someone give me the correct unlocked rooted or unrooted sim free firmware 4.1.2 for Samsung galaxy nexus s?

Galaxy Nexus =/= Nexus S. Don't see what's hard about it.
Try restoring the latest factory image. The correct one for your phone.
