Ask your carrier if they offer cell fi. For exampl le T-MOBILE USA offers free signal booster. I just got one and Now I get full bars in my basement where I didn't even get edge speed before.

Or you can simply get one of those cheap signal boosters for your cell phone on ebay.
[Nexus S Android Development] cap_cap:
an extra box to gain more signal...hmmm sounds uncool, isn't it? Another thing, a friend of mine criticized my stupidity: when I choose 2G or 3G it doesn't effect GSM connection, only data.

So what else, to try flash another radio, ignoring the fact I have the latest?
[Nexus S Android Development] alen1901:
The latest radio doesnt mean the best radio for your area. ;) try kf1

Hello from Vancouver,

I'm also on Fido and after trials KB3 is the most stable and fastest for me.

I like that it is uncapped for uploading to cloud storage.

Perfectly normal. Mine says the same thing for kd1 and I get great signal.

For me KI1 is the best. But those guys were talking about older ones. ;)

Questions about "the best radio" are useless anyway, it's different depending on your location and provider. So go and try them yourself. But normally, the latest is the best.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
Different radios can result in different battery drain. For me here in Sweden KD1 drains noticeable less battery compared to any other radios I have tested.
[Nexus S Android Development] Imppy:
Interesting what would you guys recommend for less drainage for 1920a living in Ontario?

The UC radios will have the least battery drain. Specifically latest bootloader and latest UC radio.

I mention bootloader only because in certain cases bootloader and radio versions become incompatible over the course of separate upgrade schedules.

[Nexus S Android Development] miguelm75:
i tried several GB ROM-s and still had the same problem: unable to connect to Wi-Fi. there was no such problem on ICS ROM-s, to it may be caused by radio i flashed some time ago (XXKI1).

so if i would like to flash ROM based on different versions of GB (2.3.6 or 2.3.7), which radio should i use?

according to informations in this thread, probably it should be XXKF1 (from GB 2.3.6), but will it work for example with CM 7.2.0, which is based on GB 2.3.7?
[Nexus S Android Development] damnmisur:
If it is a Wi-Fi problem, it may be kernel related.

[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Radio and rom don't depend that much on each other. Radio and bootloader-version are more important.
[Nexus S Android Development] miguelm75:
i flashed XXKD1 radio and now i have XXKD1 radio and XXKA3 bootloader - problem remains. tried also with XXKF1 - still no luck. strange thing is: ICS - no problem, GB - problem...

with other kernel is the same problem, so no going back to GB... thanks anyway for your help.
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
Tried flashing the J1 radio on my i9020a a few times but when i go into the system info it still tells me in on F1. Is this a bug, bad flash or has my phone gotten a mind of its own and is giving me a big FU?

using clockwork mod to flash, and wiping all caches, on cyogen 9

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Imppy:
Try flashing f1 radio first
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
thanks i was on f1. i actually JUST finished flashing d1 and was going to try j1 again. i know i had a similar issue a while ago.

yeah that did it. i should have finished that first but sometime i dotn think of things until after ive already asked.

[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
You can always download latest factory image from google, extract the radio.img from it and flash it via fastboot. And don't forget to flash latest bootloader.img from it as well, those two should always go together.
[Nexus S Android Development] chinopski:
no mobile data connection

i am currently on KD1, im not sure if the problem is ROM, Kernel, or Radio related but somehow my mobile data connection stopped working no "H" or "E" icon on signal bar. Could this be a problem with my radio? Could the radio be influenced by flashing ROMs or Kernels. Comments and replies will be very much appreciated. Thanks :cyclops:
[Nexus S Android Development] CrackerTeg:
That's ROM related. I've had that happen on a few custom roms and the only recourse was a reboot. Thankfully (knock on wood), it hasn't happened to me in the ROM in my sig.
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
Did you fix your apn before connecting to data?

I did see that your in globe

Go to settings>wireless and networks(more)>mobile data>access point names. Select postpaid if your in data plan or select prepaid if not. Now you need to edit. internet.globe.com.ph to http.globe.com.ph. reboot and connect to data and see if it works.

terribly sorry i this was already explained but can someone tell me the difference between

XXKD1-GRJ22-radio-nexuss-unsigned.zip

And

UCKD1-GRJ22-radio-nexuss-unsigned-sgaron.zip ?

I somehow ended up with a wrong radio.img and now that i flashed XXKD1 all is better but is UCKD1 maybe even better than that.

I couldn't find a clear explanation about radio.img'es anywhere.

[Nexus S Android Development] kibmcz:
UC series is for for north america and has capped speeds... XX series is the uncapped international radio and gives full speed. I wouldn't bother with using any UC series radio heck i use xxkb3 on my i9020a :).

Besides yours is most likely not a i920a based on country so the UC series is not recommended at all.

Originally bought refurbed m200 korean variant of nexus s crespo running 4.0.4 out of the box, for a friend.....Having flashed the radio (xxki1) along with the bootloader that came in the tgz file from google factory image of jellybean, now GetRil is telling me that RIL does not match - had unlocked and flashed bootloader/radio/cwm through fastboot then rooted......phone works fine except the radio acts flaky (dropping signals etc). at times and there are a lot of battery and network related issues going on....

H(SDPA) is the best the Nexus S can handle. Since it's working for you, either learn to live with the speed or change provider (which is the reason for your "slow" speed, be it network or recepion).

I never heard of 7-11 Speakout, you can try flashing the KF1 version 2 and see if that fixes it. On rare occasions, the case you may use could be the issue.

Hi, i have a rooted stock JB 4.1.2 rom, i2090t radio i9020xxkl1

2g has 5bars (good beer) btw 2g work gr8 but 3g it's like there is nothing to do....

i have my old LG p500 optimus one to test the signal, 5 bars there on 3g.

tried to install all these:

Radio KB1, Radio KB3, Radio KD1, Radio KF1, Radio KI1, Radio KD1 =>> KF1

Edit:

i tried to install every one, wiping dalvk every time and doble reboot to be sure. the only 3 that has the same quality are: "KI1, HD1 and KB3"

still have only 1 / 2 bars in H3g

Edit:

tried the "Method 1 (Via Root Explorer)" but no improvments

i tried to change apn too.

Edit:

refashed stock rom, first 4.0.4, there was a littel improvment, then installed again the 4.1.2, it's the same as befor .... lol ?
