Tested the radio myself and seems that the radio is working fine at my place.

Will see how is the performance over this coming weekend. Nonetheless, I do follow efrant tips to clear the cache after flashing the new radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toddrosenberger:
Thanks for the reply. I thought maybe i had a bad dl our something so i downloaded it again and still no 3g. Checked in settings to make sure"use only2g network" was not checked. It wasn't, but i checked it and then unchecked it and it immediately connected to hspa and has been fine ever since.

Actually, I am pretty sure I installed fastboot with the Android SDK. It is part of the "Android SDK Platform-tools" option under the Tools section in Android SDK Manager.

I currently have and use fastboot in my platform-tools directory in the andorid-sdk-windows directory.

Thank you for politely providing all the information! As a newbie here I appreciate that some of this is dead simple to you, but taking the time to explain it clearly helps me and lots who may not reply. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mralexsays:
Now that I've been using UGLA4 for about 9 days, I just realized the absence of an old problem. I used to have an issue where about 1 out of every 10 or so times I got in my car, my Galaxy Nexus wouldn't connect to bluetooth (I would have to put it in airplane mode then back to normal mode to get bluetooth to connect.) The UGLA4 radio seems to have fixed that issue, so I'm really happy about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mralexsays:
Scratch that... I must have jinxed it because I just had the Bluetooth problem today...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e_x_p:
My experience with T-Mobile US in Boston:

UGLA4 has better wifi reception than UGKL1 and UGKK7 thus saving battery only on that. It has horrible 3G reception everywhere I go (I tried at least 10 different areas). The H icon would stay on with full bars but I couldn't connect to any website while outside. Switching to edge gets just a little better... and it drained my battery in 5 hours idle.. Going back to KL1 for me. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wongandrew:
I'm on the Rogers network in Vancouver and UGLA4 works very well for me, good battery life and really good speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashidi_zin:
Earlier I have reported:

Seems like it's irrelevant now. I followed the steps provided by efrant and the connection is certainly better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I can't get any of the settings to stick from within the menu of *#*#4636#*#*. No matter what setting i choose they won't stick. WCDMA preffered/only, GSM only/auto. No matter what it'll always revert to GSM/CDMA auto. The phone still works but i figure there is no sense having it search for CDMA given that there is no CDMA out where i live. I see some people were able to get it to stick on WCDMA only here in Canada, but i can't. Do i have to turn the radio off before changing the settings?

I'm finding the UGKK7 to be the best radio though, tried KL1 and the european basebands as well. KK7 seems to have a very stable connection to HSDPA for the most part. Although at times it'll just completely drop to nothing for a second or two. I find that weird considering i have a booster right in the house about 10ft away from me most of the time. And this is the only phone in the house that won't get over 70dbm even if i hold the phone 6 inches away from the antenna. All the others will hit in the 50's most of the time and 30's if i put them right against the antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blsrbl:
Stay on XXLJ1 or move to UGLL1? In other words, which is better XXLJ1 or UGLL1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Depends on your network and area. Try it out and let us know how it goes. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blsrbl:
Sorry for my noob ques. But how would i know if i'm getting better results? Through WiFi signal? Network ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Signal strength, signal stability, call clarity. Some like to weigh that against perceived change in battery drain as well.

Edit: Referring entirely to mobile/cell network; as Pkt points out below, the WiFi driver is in the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Wifi is a kernel function, so not pertinent here.

I live and work in coastal central California, very rural, lots of EDGE and GPRS, little 3G only in larger towns, no 4G. We are into the spring weather with plenty of fog in the mornings which knocks down signal. Tough stuff for phones.

I commute 15 miles each way by bus or bicycle, so I can monitor the signal on the bus using apps Network Signal Info, Open Signal, or Phono.

I use music streaming on my commutes to compare. I will pass between mountains with maybe a mile of very weak EDGE service from one side to the other, and this happens in three places. XXLH1 will keep music playing in those places, thanks to Google Play caching, while XXLJ1 and UGLL1 will cause music to stop. There are minor signal strength differences in the building where I work and the cafes and bars I visit, but 3G works in all those.

I have done test calls through those areas as well, and all three drop, but that happens in rural mountainous areas.

R: [Radio Dumps] (GSM) Galaxy Nexus I9250 Baseband collection & discussion

Hi guys,

I was upset with signal, lost in lot of place in my town (small town in italy) and i decided to try UGLL1..it s quite better, the data connection is really good now but.. I can feel a bit hot on the top of back Phone, near camera.. Is it normal?

Or should i came back not to XXLJ1 but on XXLH1 (that was more better then the last official)?

Thanks fellas ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
Very little difference with UGLL1 for me in bonnie Scotland,Im back with XXLJ1 which it the latest radio for Europe,after my little experiment,no extra heat generated either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
After first reporting that I'm getting the best signal I've ever had on my Gnex while using UGLL1, I can also finally state that it is giving me the best battery life I have ever had. I always get 4 hours screen time and my standby time is at an all-time high.

I have this problem, can this post help me?

Hey guys, I made a mistake so i did format /system from recovery so my phone doesn't start.

So i downloaded a rom , but I don't know how to put it into my gnex.

I can do it just through fastboot or adb , so i know adb command to do it but my phone isn't in adb devices, instead i find it in fastboot devices.

Is there a fastboot command?

Or where can I find a rom.img to flash it through fastboot?

Got a T-mobile trouble spot which happens to be where I work and get calls. The other party comes through clearly but my voice would get garbled. After going through the various radios and making calls with each, I settled on UGLH1 as the one that gave the most tolerable outgoing voice clarity. On the same spot, AT&T is clear with any radio. DC market - Alexandria, VA to be exact.

Thanks OP for keeping all those radios in one organized and easy to find place, and thanks to everyone else who contributed the radios, the knowledge and the testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HumanXv2:
I need help but not with a gnex. You guys in this forum know quite a bit more about this stuff than anyone else.

I have a gs3 i747 and I started using tmo. Im using a baseband that I t guess tmo dreamed up for testing lte, and while it doesnt give me lte it does let me get better than edge. Im wondering about the ril because I cannot find any documentation at all about the baseband so I have no idea about the ril. I need the ril file to transfer to other roms when I flash something new. the baseband is UCALJ2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Has someone compared performance and speed of its GN with other phones? The performance of my GN is terrible. I have tried differnet basebands, ROMs and kernels, tried to tweak kernel parameters and used different congestion avoidance algorithms.

I am not 100% sure if this is maybe because of some hardware damage, but I think this started happening with android 4.2. I will have to flash 4.1.2. again to check.

Some figures to show what I mean with 'terrible'; On a place where my i9305 hits ~20 MBits/sec download, GN tops with ~70 kbps download, and strangely upload is always a little better around 90 kbps. This is on the same network and same place as S3.

Is the antenna somewhere in battery? Maybe it got damaged by overheating or somethin...

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

And forgot to mention (well actually not, I just checked : )), the signal strength seems not to be the problem. Both phones have approximately same signal strength. For example at the moment both phones have -81 dBm 16 asu and it varies between -75 dBm and -95 dBm, but usually between -80 and -90...

Thanks Bombadier.

I'm experiencing some poor GPS signal stability. I know there are a lot of sattelites working above me...

Do you know if I flash a new radio will give me a better GPS experience?

If not, do you have any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
I used to have a similar problem... I tried almost every radio nothing worked.. But after a clean flash of kernel a ROM somehow fixed it.. you should try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
Flashing a new radio will not make a difference to the GPS,I would suggest getting U-Center which should help get a GPS lock,you could also have a read here I use it and feel it helps,as always when testing GPS always do it outdoors with a clear view of the sky,if all else fails as others have suggested try a different ROM,what are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Thanks. I was looking for this technical answer.

About 3rd party GPS tools, I've tested dozen of them... I really never found one that really solves it... But I'll try U-Center.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
Have to say very disappointed with the GPS in the GNex,when trying to get a pure GPS lock ie with data or location by wireless/cell towers off it is very slow to lock the aGPS option helps alot though,hope you get better results
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Wow... I've tested indoors and it has taken GPS position... Is it just a coincidence?

What U-Center really does? Do you know what is "updated" periodically inside it? Is it the aGPS data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
I would say its the aGPS,switch data off and see what happens,I have never been able to get a pure GPS lock inside
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_:
Just did that. Got a fast lock with 7-8 satellites with 5m accuracy as reported by U-Center. Its map screen put me on the correct side of my small house.

This morning, anyway, I tried to change it using different RIL and I got many problems with many of them (no connection, connection drop...) so that's why I'm asking for the right one for this new Radio

Is "I9250XXLH1; I9250XXLJ1" right for UGLL1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
What ROM are you using?

You use the RIL that comes with your ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Pro tip: give a rat's ass about RILs :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
But...but... that will make flashing radios TOO easy! Don't we have to make it obscure and complicate things? :confused:

Next you'll suggest we list the radios by BUILD DATE, so everyone instantly knows the most recent radio -- instead of listing radios "alphabetically" or by when added to this thread (even if they are two years old, the radio last added can suddenly be the "newest" radio). Only the insiders who know how to decode Google's substitution cypher cryptology method (letters for numbers) deserve to REALLY know which is the latest radio. :cool:

So, RILs were part of that same "it's for us to know and you to find out" mythology, right? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spraite25:
Changed again my radio with XXLJ1 along with a correct RIL, UGLL1 gave me lot of disconnection during night time

My Gnex is strange, I bought it about 6 months ago because my friend was traveling and I asked for a white Gnex, and he found it in Russia :P It came with android 4.0.1 and no gapps (and with thus strange radio). I just decided to change it today because it was working perfectly well until last week. Just now that I figured that I should post it here, but now is late. Hoping that is a copy of that on the nandroid backup (like I said before). If it is, I will post it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Unfortunately, no, nandroids don't backup the radio. :(

That's a really odd radio! It's actually the earliest built Australian radio we've seen yet (DVKK6 is in the OP), but you got it in Russia. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GiulioPasini:
My friend was there and got it there (I know, this is very akward, but the device is new, on it's box, is written that it was built las november).

This is a old photo, that I took when I bought it, was already unlocked and it's name was GT-I9250_EUR_XX, 4.0.1 and the build of it was "full_manguro-eng 4.0.1 ICL23D 285 test-keys".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
test-keys? That means it was likely an early test device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:

I'm with Mobilicity in Toronto, Canada. AWS 1700/2100.

I recently switched from an LG Optimus One to a Gnex. I'm using the latest Paranoid ROM. I have an unlimited data plan and I'm having a lot of issues with USB tethering to my Windows 7 laptop - and some minor issues with Wi-Fi Tethering. (On my LG phone, I never had issues.)

Could the radio on my phone in any way affect tethering? I currently have XXLJ1. If the radio could make a difference to tethering, it would be worth trying another. I'm open to suggestions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

I'm on WIND in Toronto also (WIND and Mobi share same bands - AWS 1700/2100). I have XXLJ1 and don't have any issues with tethering on WIND (USB tethering and wifi)...

I hope I'm not straying too off topic for this thread - but was wondering what ROM and kernel you're using. I've been told that ROM and kernel don't impact tethering but I'm just curious if they actually can make a difference.

For others reading this thread, any comments about whether the radio can make a difference to tethering, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm on unlimted T-mobile and running cm 10.1 rc3 with xxlh1 in the northern suburban chicago area. I've noticed I can't really stream hulu plus in hd on my xbox 360 when tethering cuz it will keep pausing. I think this is due to packet loss, it even sometimes happens when streaming google music.

Could a radio fix this? Which is the newest right now or would work best for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah it could help. There are many newer than XXLH1. Check the radio link in my sig for the rough "latest" order.

UGLH1 was pretty good. I thought UILH1 was fantastic. Now the latest are XXLJ1 and UGLL1, both pretty good.

I'm hoping the "Galaxy X" (Brazilian GN) sees another OTA soon. I'd love to use a newer UI radio.

Back to UILH1 for me. I downloaded zips of all the recent radios to my device the other day, and since I knew there are parts of my workplace that have extremely poor reception, on my break I went to one of those and tried all the radios. Most gave me -107dBm 3asu at best, but UI was able to get to -105dBm 4asu. Hopefully the Galaxy X gets another OTA. I'd love to try a newer version from there. :)

Sigh... I need a DX baseband... or a NE one.

i used NELP2 which was from Italy for my S2 in the old days, it was awesome..

Our only hopes will come with 4.3..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Here's something interesting I've observed recently:

My workplace has no Wi-Fi and notoriously bad reception, especially with the GN, and of course poor/no signal generally means terrible battery drain since the radio power gets boosted to try and compensate. Well I've found that as long as I disable Wi-Fi it mitigates the battery loss from having poor signal strength/no signal. You still lose a little more but not nearly as much as when you have no signal and Wi-Fi is still enabled. Weird, huh?
