Any of my fellow Canadians have a good radio for Telus? My signal is real flaky since they rolled out the last update.I'm running Skynote Air 4.3. Thanks.

You didn't say which modem you were on, but here are all three four radios released at this point. There should be a new one soon for the KitKat update.
I317MVLALJ2 - 4.1.1 initial release
I317MVLBMA3 - 4.1.2 BMA3 update
I317MVLUCMK5 - 4.3 CMK5 update
I317MVLUDNF1 - 4.4.2 DNF1 update
Quick questions: when you say flaky, do you mean it loses signal for ~10-30 seconds then reconnects as if nothing happened? Which bootloader are you on?

Thanks for the response. I'm still on 4.1.2 Bootloader. Places I used to get signal, I no longer do. Can't even make calls in those locales. Think this has to do with the recent update from Telus I think. I've flashed the new Skynote Air Note3 and the modem is 1317MVLUCMK5.

Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.

First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I couldn't find any significant changes for Gnex on 4.1.2 changelogs...
UPS just dropped off my new Galaxy Nexus (didn't want to wait for the new ones, $349 seemed decent, unless it drops a ton, no regrets, don't need the latest and greatest, etc...). I've got a Nexus S I'm going to give to my kid, who's on a RAZR v3 right now. I'm on AT&T US.
I'm familiar with all the advanced Android stuff, running a Nexus 7 with Rasbean Jelly and Franco/Trinity...but I've only done a phone once (the Nexus S) and I had some problems with Baseband showing NO DGS XXXXXX and no signal, but got it working finally by flashing Rasbean and the latest baseband.
I obviously want this to go as smooth as possible. Right now it is at ICS 4.0.4 and I haven't connected it to WiFi yet, or put the Sim in it from the Nexus S. I've written down the IMEI and Baseband (It's not the latest UGLH, but I have that, and the RIL).
Should I unlock/root/recovery (TWRP) and flash Rasbean first, and then stick the SIM in...or should I start it up with the SIM and accept any OTA that comes? Then do the above?
Do I need to call AT&T and give them the new IMEI?
I plan on switching to Straight Talk, and I know I need to put in the IMEI. The ST Sim should be here any day. I'm confused about what IMEI I need to give them when they port over my number...the currently up and running Nexus S that AT&T has in their records, or the GNex (after calling AT&T)?
What steps would you guys do if you were doing the above?
Thanks,
RF

Stay stock and test it out for a bit. That way when you flash a rom and something goes wrong you wont blame the developer for a hardware failure.
I would accept the OTA to get the latest firmware (bootloader, recovery, radio, etc) & I agree with Darunion, stay stock for a little while & make sure everything works before flashing a custom ROM
Ok, connected to WiFi and got pushed JB 4.1.1 JRO03C. Didn't check the bootloader, Radio stayed the same at I9250XXLF1.

Should be another OTA coming to upgrade to 4.1.2 (JZO54K)
Thanks for the help. Went all in, couldn't wait. Rasbean Jelly 4.1.2 UGLH1 Radio and RIL. Running like a top.
Thanks again,
RH

It's always a good idea to use the stock ROM for a while first before you flash a custom ROM. It makes you appreciate the features of the custom ROMs a bit more.
I have an unlocked ATT S3 which I am using with T-Mobile sim.
I have been recently told that ATT users recevied OTA update 3 weeks back.
I tried to insert ATT SIM and check for updates but it did not work
Any idea how can I get that update ?

Just wondering but why would you want a carrier update anyway? If your looking for the Jelly Bean update, it's not out yet. What you can do is just root and flash a JB ROM.

ATT update is good for the phone as it brings in toggle brightness bar and improves battery life
T-Mobile updates if any are also not getting downloaded..
If in case T-Mobile sends any update, will i be able to download that ?

Does anyone know how to unlock a Rogers Note 2 (modded with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575 )?
I tried the instructions I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721 but they don't work and I suspect it has to do with the fact that my phone is modded, but I'm not 100% sure. Does this method only work with a specific Andriod version? My wife's Bell Note 2 has the 4.3 update on it, but its not a custom ROM. I will try this unlock on her phone tonight.
I'm going to the US this weekend and bought a pre-paid SIM, however it will only work with an unlocked phone of course, hence my dilemma to unlock it.
What baseband version are you running?
IIRC, only the initial release, 4.1.1 basebands worked to apply that trick.
Here's a CWM/TWRP flashable zip of the I317MVLALJ2 (4.1.1, October 2012) modem to get you started.
As well as the I317MVLBMA3 (4.1.2, January 2013) or I137MVLUCMK3 (4.3, December 2013) to get you back to your current baseband.
Your wife's Note 2 may be a bit trickier since 4.3 has KNOX, but I'll let you look into that.
Good luck and happy holidays,
Darkshado
I unlocked the att note 2 and I'm trying to use it in tmobile. I get 4g but my call signal keeps dropping and it says emeegency calls 9nly from time to time. The signal bars keep dropping out. Im currently running tmobile rom on mk6 4.1.1
i use the official ATT modem that was released with the 4.3 ROM. And use one of the ATT rom as well. Unless you really need Wifi Calling, I think just stick with ATT rom and modem
MK6 or even new 4.4 modem work fine on T-Mobile. I'm using eZkat 2.0 ROM (KitKat 4.4.2) with no call issues.
