[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
thanks efrant. when the radio icon was grey, it didn't connect to any website in browser. I am sure I have the right APN for fido.

Anyways, maybe this is just my problem.

May I know when did you get your Fido SIM? Maybe mine is too old. I got it in Sep 2007.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nakadm:
Mine is definitely not that old, it's a micro sim I got with my iPhone 4 sometime last year.

But, when I bought Nexus S as soon as it was released, I had the roaming indicator, same SIM. That went away after a few FW/Baseband updates...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
HELP! I flashed the UGKL1 radio in this thread & now I can't send SMS. I've tried everything - reverting to my previous UGKK7 radio, going back to the XXKK1 radio, I restored a previous backup, wiped my device & installed a new rom. Still nothing, everytime I try to send a text it fails no matter what I've tried!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
You can make phone calls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
Worest case, reflash the whole set of 4.0.2 image from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
I had the exact same issue. Flashed UGKL1 on top of the stock Google images and baseband (XXKK6). Calls worked, 3G data worked and I could receive text messages, but not send any: it would fail every time.

Before you wipe everything, try calling your carrier and ask them for a 'resend to switch', which resets your signal and re-initiates sms service. That worked for me, and it saved me the trouble of re-flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slegrand:
I had an issue with ugkl1 as well on both a Wind mobile and a rogers sim. I either got exceptionally poor signal or dropped data connectivity I am using UGKK7 now and have had absolutely no issues with either sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarthVR6:
So I've updated to YAKJU and have installed the UGKL1 radio however, I am having a weird issue with Android Market. I can download some apps off of 3G and yet not others?! Any experience this issue after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
P.S. For those that have flash the yakju build overtop of any other build, I hope you did a wipe. If not, it could cause some screw ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Tone:
Are you avoiding 4.0.2 because the lag?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
Dammit, I wish I saw this post earlier. I ended up flashing the 4.0.2 factory images, and didn't transfer the contents of my sd card to my computer first since I didn't realize it would be wiped. I lost everything & STILL can't send texts! I'll call them now...

Did you try UGKL1 again after?

UPDATE: Called them & asked to resend my switch and I can text again. Thanks!!

Yeah, everything works including receiving texts, just can't send
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkopet:
I tried this method....

- go to Phone

- *#*#4636#*#*

- then tap 'Phone information'

Set preferred network type:

By default, the GN is set on 'GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)' - which means it scans for both. However, I recommend you tweak it.

- Fido and Rogers operate on GSM/HSPA only. So if you bought the device from Virgin/Bell, but are using a SIM card on Rogers or Fido, it's better to change the setting to 'GSM auto (PRL)'. There's no use to scan CDMA anyway.

- Virgin and Bell are CDMA/HSPA. For those networks, leave the preferred network type as 'GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)'.

- Same with Telus (they are CDMA/HSPA).

I think this is the reason why the 'R' problem has only affected Fido and Rogers users so far.

... and now I can't send texts! HELP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
Call your carrier & ask them to resend to switch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
You must have hit update that is next to the smsc number. You aren't supposed to hit that, it will update the smsc with 00 as the value. You need to figure out your smsc for your carrier then read this to figure out how to encode it

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=078232a74455bbf0&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkopet:
Thanks jhunynh! I fixed it. Would my smsc settings reset if I did a clean install? I'm a total noob at this. Just moved from an iphone to a Gnex.

Does anyone know a good step by step for going from yakjuux to yakju on a mac? I'm also with Rogers so would it work or would I have to flash baseband? I have never done this before but it seems like this is the way to go for updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
yesterday, I reflashed the radio to the original one from 4.0.2 factory image on Mac. It's easier than on Windows.

1) download the 4.0.2 factory image from here. I don't want to paste the link here because you might need to check the checksum after download.

2) go to this article and download the file in the "Unlocking the bootloader" section.

3) unzip the files download from 1 and 2 into one folder, say yourhome/Downloads/402, note that you don't need subfolders.

4) open Terminal, use cd command to change current directory to the folder in 3.

5) go to this post, follow what he said. Note 1: the fastboot command should be typed as ./fastboot on Mac. Note 2: before the first fastboot, please do ./fastboot oem unlock. Note 3: after the last step, I think I entered fastboot mode again, and did ./fastboot oem lock. I am not sure now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
BTW, I have successfully removed the R by replacing my old Fido SIM with a new multiformat SIM. The 4.0.2 factory image, including the radio, works for me now. There is no R on the radio icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Funkmobile:
Kinda weird seeing people on Fido having problems. I bought my GNex from Virgin Mobile and immediately popped in my iPhone 4 Sim and everything worked as normal from the get go except for what I suspect was initial baseband bug problems. I have been flashing my phone with the the latest Revo HD custom roms and the latest stock google GSM radio baseband firmwares. I'm currently on stock XXKK6 (from XXKK1) and it fixes a lot of the 3G/HSPDA+ stability issues I was experiencing initially. (would switch back and forth from the 3G icon to the "H" icon rather frequently).

I'm in Vancouver if that makes any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d3rky:
In case anyone was worried about the roaming logo with Fido.. I was able to successfully downgrade from yakjuux to yakju, install 4.0.2, and remove the 'R'

1. Downgraded to yakju via this method

2. Unlocked bootloader

3. Manually upgraded to 4.0.2 via Google factory images

**got roaming alert here/'R' shown at the top**

4. Flashed ugkl1 radio

Now everything works as before but with yakju 4.0.2 (as if it really made a difference :) haha)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What you need to ask them is to do a "resend to switch", not "send the switch". ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sobanb:
Just another confirmation, I successfully went from yakjuux (4.0.1) to yakju (4.0.2) a few days ago. Loving the google wallet and DSLR controller as a result of this update. Not to mention the main purpose of yakju (being updated by google) I did not have to flash the radio and all it took was 10 minutes to complete the whole process. All Thanks to efrant for the detailed explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stephan moisan:
Just a thought I got my galaxy nexus from expansys.com first batch to get in the country Google build yakju running xxkk1radio and at first I had trouble with connection on the internet then I went to setting and erase the proxy, never had trouble since. Running on tellus network and still running Xxkk1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Your converted SMSC should be 07917150979603F0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramy68:
I got it working now! Thanks so much for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
I'm on Fido with a Virgin Nexus, just did the conversion and I don't have the roaming issue... so it must be a SIM card issue as someone else said, I had a really old SIM card which always got confused about roaming, got a new SIM in the summer and it fixed all those issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
You got google wallet automatically with 4.0.2? Or did you install it after?

I didn't get mine automatically when i went yakjuux to yakju 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to install it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ysr84:
I have noticed this with many phones using a fido sim card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
It's a side-effect of the Fido buyout by Rogers I believe... some of the older SIMs seem to get confused about roaming and what their home network is supposed to be. Buying a more recent card fixes all issues though, and I think they're only like $10 now?

Just another technical anomaly to put up with for us Fido customers, like the fact that all these years later Fido still sends you a text instead of enabling that pesky voicemail icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmaruPhoenix:
so Rogers is getting the GNex soon, I'm hoping this won't be an issue....

I waited an extra month since Bell wanted to be a little dingaling.

oh well, anybody else hoping that it'll be okay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
It will be OK if the fido SIM is new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
I'm on Mobilicity so i was just assuming that the weak radio signal was cause of them. Can i do the 4.02 update and see if maybe it gives me a little stronger signal?

Other than that is it worth it to do a standard google image? Or should i start using peoples cooked roms?

I'm still using stock rom and have not rooted it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
It's a totally personal choice. Personally I don't like custom ROMs but understand why people like them, but with this being a Google Experience phone I see even less reason to go the custom route.

Of course custom ROMs are already on 4.0.3 whereas OTA updates for 4.0.3 are still not hitting phones, so it really depends what you want from your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
To be honest i'm not sure of all the things Android can do yet, so I don't know what i want it to do. I use to do everything from my windows phones, including my windows mobile 6.51 which i still use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
A lot of us used to be on Windows Mobile... Android is a nice replacement, it can do everything and more.

But unlike Windows Mobile, Android custom ROMs are not as necessary especially if you have a clean Nexus phone with no bloatware and a recent version of Android running on it.

It's a personal choice again though, can't really go wrong either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stHTCphone:
PLEASE HELP~!

I also f-up my SMSC... I am with Fido and I believe my SMSC # is +15149931123

I tried to use this site " http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode" but I cannot figure it out how to convert it. Thank you very much in advanced!~!

Edit:

Google it and find the number.. 07915141991321f3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
Uh, what kind of phone number is that?

In Vancouver you should be using +17783175607 to access your Fido voicemails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyblaster:
For people that have made the switch, does Amazon MP3 show up in Market now?

I was able to install it on my Droid Incredible, so it must be related to the build.prop ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexcyn:
Nope. I went to yakju via fastboot and flashed the Google official recovery for 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chockm:
Telus Baseband ?

Any idea what is the best baseband for telus... I flashed from yakjuux to jakju.. then i got OTA to 4.0.2 ... but i'm having some issues .. very slow internet connection. curretly i'm using xxkk1.

Which one should i flash for telus:

- ugkl1 or

- ugkk7

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Flash both of them and see which one works better for you. There are too many variables to based your decision on someone else's experience, e.g., weather, location, travel patterns, network congestion, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chockm:
Thanks i tried both of them and ugkk7 it is working much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Happy to hear it! Although I don't think using it for an hour is a good test. :) You should try them out for a couple of days each...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paverdude:
read this forum last night, changed to yakju and installed ugkl1 radio img installed all with Galaxy Nexus Toolkit

everything went smoothly and is running great, after reboot got the upgrade prompt and upgradae to 4.0.2 :D

thanks for all the help

P.S. on Telus in Calgary area

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2dmaxhtc:
In Canada using virgin mobile nexus and still waiting for 4.0.2 any idea why I'm still waiting for ota
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyblaster:
It's because there is no 4.0.2 update for us yakjuux users. Not sure how Google and Samsung could have let their flagship device become fragmented like this. I understand the need for small test groups and such, but it's been two weeks since the second 4.0.2 rollout. If the only differences are with some small region specific code, then device parity should be trivial and rolled out at the exact same time. There should be no preferential treatment between build models. "It's the little things that kill" - Bush (band)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yohojones:
On Telus in Saskatchewan using the kl1 radio. I'm only getting 100kbps up and down. I was getting the same with other radio too. I think that's more of a problem with our Sasktel towers out here than anything else.

I went to yakju with the rom off the German Samsung site.

Just adding my 2 cents.

Edit: Went upstairs to our bedroom where I had better signal and got 3300 kbps down and 2200 kbps up. Not so bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weirdg:
I've been testing different basebands all day, and I found the XXKL1 gives me the best performance. I'm hitting 4000kbps. With UGKK7 or UGKL1, I average around 3000-3400kbps. The downside is, since my SIM card is about 7 years old it shows roaming all the time instead of 3G or H. Should I be worried?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefunkie1:
Can anyone tell me why the SMSC number needs to be converted? I was trying to change the GSM / CDMA auto thing as mentioned on page two...couldn't find a way to save it so I did the dumb thing of hitting the Update button, which wiped out the SMSC number. I managed to get the SMSC +1 number for Rogers - but why does it need to be converted? Just trying to understand it I guess....bothers me that the number is now different than default (in appearance) - even though it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
No radio issues here - I stayed with UGKL1 from the ITL41F OTA update.

But now I try to select any static wallpaper and it will not apply. WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiev80:
I'm running 4.0.3 on my Bell Nexus.

You guys should flash CM9. It's really stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyblaster:
Been there, done that!

I bought a Nexus for the straight up Google goods.

Besides, if I wanted root, it would be Bugless Beast all the way: http://download.peteralfonso.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catcherfreeman:
I had the same problem. I solved it by going to Settings, then under 'wireless & network' click 'More...'. Click 'Mobile networks', 'Access Point Names', then select the APN you're using. There should be a proxy address set, clear it and you should be good :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbnmz:
Rogers with XXKK6 and no radio issue at all.

For those having problem with XXKK1, it should be noted it was causing some problems for even European users, for whom the "customization" was made. I suggest OTA/flash upgrade to XXKK6 and try on that first until making seperate changes to the radio.

Combined with what others have said above, My general impression is that there is no difference in real life performance between XX and UG. Maybe the issue is with Fido SIMs displaying R. I have not yet tried XXKL1 but only expect better from K6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magic111:
Hi everyone, followed your thread and decided to go on with flashing my yakjuux to yakju, I was going insane by knowing the 4.0.2 was out there and not getting it.

after following all of you, chose to flash radio to xxkk6, and I can confirm what some of the guys reported about better results - I'm getting 3mb DL on speed test vs. 1.5 before on ugkl1 (mobilicity).

4.0.2 feels way better than previous build, and the whole process was worth it just for the "improve face recognition" feature that finally makes it work as advertised.

if anyone out there is still trying to decide, my advise is definitely go for it, following efrant's instructions is simple and straight forward.

one thing you might want to consider if you're new to the android environment (like i am), is to install the excellent GnexRootToolkit, just for the sake of seriously helping with the driver installment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtazm:
hello all

i changed from yakjuux to yanju using the WugFresh root kit by flashing the ICL53F from google and got the 4.0.2 update within minutes. The battery, signal(Toronto koodo) improved but i see another problem about the face unlock feature it shows a blackbox and then it freezes in the patern screen and reboots by it self.i have the alogcat file if that helps.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samrec:
Thank God for this thread.

I've been having issues with my data signal since I went from the "dafacto" Android version to the Yakju 4.0.4 version last week, so replaced my sim card as recommended here. You see, I did not used the one that was sent to me with the new phone in Ian 2012 (GN). Instead I used the one that was on my iPhone which in turn was the one that was on my motorola razor. As you can see it was a very old SIM more than 7 years old for sure.

It seems to be working atm but the data logo keeps changing from 3G to R every now and then.

Will it be possible to request a "resent to switch" to fix this problem?

Thanks for your time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
I went through this whole thing last year, and I never did get any OTAs to 4.0.4.

Yes I know I can flash it myself manually, but the impression I was left with in this thread was that we would get OTAs with genuine yakju devices if nothing about our OS was changed. I've done all the tricks and stuff, my phone is still more than happy to tell me 4.0.2 is the latest greatest.

Suffice to say I will not get as excited next time I have the opportunity to purchase a Nexus device...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samrec:
Well, I went from the 4.0.1 to the 4.0.4 cause it only seems logical to install 4.0.4 instead of the 4.0.2. A few dates later I got a system update notification. Untill last night I did not see anything different, until I went to check a document on my google docs account. It seem they roll out Drive to replace google docs as whole even if my account is not ready yet. Not sure if there were any other updates but it was a system update notification for sure.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure which post you used as a reference for "this whole thing", but it is clearly stated in this post:

Running a yakju build just means the update is available first. It doesn't mean you personally will get it pushed to your device. But it most surely pops up here on XDA within hours of it being pushed out initially.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
Edit: Nevermind... I'm in the wrong here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I apologize if I have offended. I wasn't aware that I had told anyone to "shut up and be patient". I thought I was just informing people of how things worked. It was like this for the Nexus One, the Nexus S, and now the Galaxy Nexus. Witha the influx of newcomers to the GNex, I was/am trying to help. When people say "hey, how come i didn't get the OTA", well, I try to be helpful and explain to them why they are not getting it. I had no idea that it was coming across as "shut up and wait"...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else in this thread: When I flashed from yakjuux to yakju that's when I started noticing the purple/magenta and yellow discoloration on gradients, greys, whites etc., even on full brightness. Given, I'd only had the device for a day or two before I did this, but I remember having flasher's remorse instantly when I booted it up and noticed the issue. Anyone else experience this? Is it possible that some of the regional customization in yakjuux could be a fix for the screens?

A full backup of the original yakjuux 4.0.1 I had at the time wasn't available (due to the bootloader difference), so I haven't bothered trying to flash it back to yakjuux yet. Of course we all have the option now thanks to this thread but it's been months, I have it all set up how I want now, and don't want to lose NFC. Just curious, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
I've got a phone naturally on yakju from UK but on Telus PAYG have received the 4.0.4 notifications within a day or two of them being commented on here as going OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's yakju, so of course you did. This thread is about yakjuux phones changed to yakju.

Edit: Alright. I took the plunge, rooted, backed up and went back to yakjuux since the guy at the Telus store convinced me I should try to get a warranty replacement due to the magenta/yellow areas of my screen. Of course, yakjuux made no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Great topic. I am on telus and on the hunt for better reception...this phone is the worst reception i have ever had. don't know if it's possible though....have tried all radios.

Thanks, using my Gucci Nexus on XDA premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
How do i change the preferred network so that the change stays? I am on telus and am trying to change preferred network from WCDMA to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), but the change doesn't stay...it just goes back to WCDMA.

Thanks, using my Gucci Nexus on XDA premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You do realize that Telus does not have a GSM network, so if you switch it to GSM auto, it will not make a difference for you, and may actually even reduce your battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Okay, thanks Efrant. You have being so helpful with all this radio stuff.

Lol, nope i was confused till now.

So mine is set to 'WCDMA.' Do you think switching it to 'CDMA only' would be better for me?

Thanks, using my Gucci Nexus on XDA premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, because your GNex does not have a CDMA radio... :)

The GSM/HSPA version of the Galaxy Nexus (which is what you have) only has two radios: a GSM radio and an HSPA (i.e., WCDMA) radio. Telus runs a CDMA network and an HSPA network. So... only HSPA will work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Thank you. In that case do you think 'WCDMA only' would be better for me than the current setting which is 'WCDMA preferred'?

The reason I ask instead of try is I can't make the changes stick.

Thanks, using my Gucci Nexus on XDA premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It would make sense that it would, but I can't say for sure, as I'm not entirely sure how the radio determines if it should search for a 2G signal vs a 3G signal (it may not even use the 2G radio at all if your SIM does not support it, which in your case, it doesn't). As well, no one has figured out how to get the settings in that menu to stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
I see. Thanks so much for all your help.

Thanks, using my Gucci Nexus on XDA premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] megyeye:
are you sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is no way to get it to stick.

And besides, why do you want it to "GSM auto"? "WCDMA preferred", in most cases, is the preferred setting.
