They may help. Have u gone there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
That's weird because mine showed baseband of XXLA1 shipped from the PlayStore.

I dumped the radio image before I flashed the latest USA released kernel last night...

(***THAT IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP***)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
When I was in India for a trip, I faced a similar issue. I flashed UGLC1 and all was well with Vodafone 3G. I hope you got the GSM version and not the Sprint version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Im curious and will download, flash and package this ;)

(if it is what it says it is)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
Let me know if it is something different as I'll likely switch back and try it. I didn't really try anything with it, I just switched to UGLC1 after unboxing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Doesnt work. Once booted, and if you check in "About phone", it reports XXLA2 as baseband, not XXLA1.

So ... I guess we have this one already? Did you make a typo? Do you have a screenshot sayibng XXLA1?

I don't get it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
No, when I first powered the phone on I saw I9250XXLA1 as my baseband. I assumed it was one of the old ones (I didn't research this thread at all, I just saw the arrow that said "newest one" and I downloaded that. I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (option 17) to backup radio image. I then started reading this thread a few hours later and realized XXLA2 was listed, not XXLA1. On my phone I saw on the root of the SD-Card radio.img and assumed that was my backup I produced.

After just reading your post, though, I discovered it backed it up to my PC, not my phone. I'll attach the proper radio.img file it backed up now..

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

OK, so I just re-flashed my backup and it shows I9250XXLA2.

I'm more then 100% positive it said XXLA1 initially. Is it possible it was somehow labeled incorrectly? Regardless, it is showing XXLA2 now so....nothing new :/

Why would it have shipped with XXLA2 though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
XXLA2 comes with the OTA update to 4.0.4, so it stands to reason that any new phones which come with 4.0.4 preinstalled would also have that radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Can Somebody tell me which is the best baseband radio for my Galaxy Nexus GSM that I bought from Finland?

currently I'm using XXLA2 and that is not good, it uses battery too much and WiFi levels are not good!

Agreed om xxla2 being suboptimal.

Yes. You can pretty much use any radio in this thread in Rogers in Canada.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
My GN is: GSM WCDMA WiFi GT-I9250 titanium silver

Bought from Finland, No Finland or Estonian baseband radio nowhere?

What I have to do, I have battery drain problem!

my GN is not only GSM!

What baseband Should I use!

¨

PLEASE HELP ME TO FIGURE OUT OF THE BATTERY PROBLEM! :)

THANKS!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Your nexus is the GSM Nexus. There is only 2 Nexuses, GSM and LTE. LTE is the 4G nexus and is only in the US to my knowledge.

All the radios begining with XX (ie. XXKL1, XXLA2) are European. There isn't any Finnish or Estonian radios as both these countries are covered by the European radios.

Note that just because a radio is optimized for a certain carrier or country doesn't mean it won't work with anything else. I believe your should be fine with any radio in this thread. Myself I'm using UGLC1 which is optimized for the US without any issues, and I live in Sweden.

As for the battery problem, could you post a screenshot off your battery stats (found in Settings > Battery) after a days use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I have flashed many other ROMs, kernels and basebands and still bad battery drain!

Jame bond kernel helped only little bit!

When I bought the GN then all was ok battery life was amazing, etc.

see the pictures:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
GT-I9250 is GSM.

Sounds strange.. Could you post a screenshot off your battery stats (found in Settings > Battery) after a days use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Confisk8d131:
fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urinsane:
How much time are you waiting between flashing new items?

In my experience, if you aren't giving your phone 2 or 3 days to stabilize after flashing something new, you will never get good battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Ok, with jame bong kernel my phone uses only little bit less battery..

I'm now writing on my gn, I post screenshot later..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
That's not a great way to get to your 10 post count :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I'm thinking of flashing the UGLC1 radio to test out since i have some weird things going on with my reception. It seems that it will fluctuate from around full bars to 2 bars.(From -77 dBm 18asu to around -102 dBm 2asu at times, signal did not drop.)

I'm on XXLA2.

Not really sure if this will help as i just bought my phone not long ago, still getting the hang of it:)

And if it helps, is there any simple enough programme that can help me backup the radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
We already have a dump of XXLA2 here if you want to restore later. However, if you don't trust our images, I've developed a tool for dumping your radio which is described and linked to on page 1. It requires a rooted and unlocked bootloaders. However since flashing a new radio requires that as well, I assume that is not an issue.

XXLA2 has not really been very good for me either. I would recommend you try XXKL1 or latest DOCOMO radio and see if that improves things. Has at least worked well for me in Norway, and results so far seem to indicate that they're both good for rest of Europe as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Not really good with commands and stuff, but will give it a go later:)

I guess for now i'l stick with the dump:o

I noticed that XXKL1 is not recommended for firmware above 4.0.1

And i noticed that there's 2 other XXKL1 that did not say not recommended for 4.0.1 and above, safe to flash?

Apprently Japan do not have GSM services, so i don't think i'l be flashing DOCOMO as all carriers here are using GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
XXKK1 is not recommended for above 4.0.1. XXKL1 has no such warnings ;)

As for flashing a radio... Worst case scenario is instability. You wont brick your phone.

And believe me. Japan has GSM based networks as well. I've been there and done my heavy share of data-roaming (on employer's bill) :p

As for the docomo radio it really does work quite well here too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
XXKK1 is not recommended for ROMs after 4.0.1. XXKL1 is fine.

Edit: Lol, ninja'd again. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Jinx :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The XXLA2 radio is included in the IMM76I factory image, so there is no need to dump it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
I got my device with an XXLA2 and the mobile reception is my hometown was horrible. Upgraded to the UGLC1 and I actually have 3 to 4 bars of reception. Went from 3 ASU to 9 ASU. Still GPRS but I live in the middle of nowhere and at least I can make a phone call inside now.

In comparison, a blackberry 9700 only occasionally gets SOS and no service most of the time. So the bespoken radio in the Galaxy Nexus isn't that bad in my opinion.. ;)

Haven't noticed any difference in WiFi reception though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is only one XXKK1 radio. Just because it may be posted in multiple places doesn't make it different.

Yes, Japan DOES use GSM, although the frequencies are different, just as the north American frequencies are different than the European ones. You can just as easily flash an XX radio, a UG radio, a Docomo radio, etc.

Edit: ninja'd by josteink!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Hmmmm, ok, looks like my eyes are playing trick on me:p

Will try them out:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
here is the screenshots, as you see my GN have bad battery life (with Jame bond kernel my battery is only little bit better but still battery drains too fast)

I have no idea what causes bad battery drain... it is not ROM now I'm using 4.0.4 stock ROM which should be good for north Europe, it had XXLA2 baseband so I changed it to XXKL1 and ROM build number is IMM76I...

I do not remember what was my GN baseband when I bought GN,it had 4.0.2 ICS and it id not get any updates to 4.0.3 so then I changed ROM..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
You could use better battery stats to see if you have background processes that keep waking the kernel. Most likely the phone is not going to sleep because some process keeps it awake.

Also if you are in an area with bad reception the phone will boost transmit power which obviously impacts battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
51% after nearly 12 hours of usage is not really that bad. Sure you can improve it. For great battery life try Trinity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
Looks like you are playing music too. Whats the time on that. Indeed the battery life is not dramatic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cLOUDFAn:
for me the stock XXKK6 is the best (in NY, using straight talk which is att mvno)

get about 2.5M DL and 0.7M UL

Currently using XXKK6 in Toronto on Rogers. Is there anything better for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llavalle:
You could try UGKL1. My Bell phone came with UGKL1, it's the default "Canadian Band radio". It ran on Telus fine. It also ran on Rogers fine (both in Montreal). I was getting about 6mb down, 3mb up when I tested it 2 days ago (on Telus)

Yesterday, I switched from yakjuux to yakju (from the samsung build to the Google build) so the default radio was XXKK6. No difference on Telus (Telus has a UMTS and HSPA network but no GSM/GPRS/EDGE). I can't test on Roger's, my GF's phone is with her outside of the country.

I get the same speed on XXKK6 (6/3).

Try it out, it takes only 2min to flash.

SC04DOMLA1 baseband

To the OP, just FYI, docomo sc-04d (yakjusc) ota update to ICL53F started rolling out a few days ago (although I haven't received it yet), and it includes an updated radio (SC04DOMLA1), so you might wanna check out the radio img file from the official update zip file:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
with stock kernel or other custom kernel battery life will be more badder..

I had better battery life when I bought mu Nexus!

in 12 hours, without using screen it uses still too much battery..

and is it normal that in IMM76I 4.0.4 ROM TempleRun lags?

I asked from samsung the stock ROM for my Galaxy Nexus which have the right baseband version for my GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Okay, so you're using it to listen to music a decent amount. How much time do you spend doing that? That could also be what's causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I listened music something 20 minutes that usually uses something 4% battery..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Then once again we're back to getting BetterBatteryStats and checking what's keeping your phone awake. It won't be the ROM or the radio which is at fault, and you've already got possibly the best kernel for battery life, so that only leaves three possibilities. One, you're in a really bad signal area a lot and your phone is struggling to maintain a connection, two, you've restored system settings with Titanium Backup and it's producing errors which are keeping your phone awake, or three, an app you've installed is keeping the phone awake.

I doubt it's one, since in your screenshots we can see full bars and you're also connected to wifi, so that leaves two or three. Logcat can diagnose two, and BetterBatteryStats can diagnose three.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
Since it's only an hour of work I would just do a clean wipe and install without any apps and see how it behaves. If it still struggles perhaps (as indicated before) your are in an area with bad reception or the battery might be dying.

If the phone stays alive longer on a charge start installing your apps and see if the battery life gets worse. You will know that it's an app keeping it alive.

For a start I would see what wakelocks you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I don't like Titanium backup so I don't use it, I used other apps backup and I have removed it from my phone!

BetterBatterystats is not free, I don't never pay any app for Android!

Advanced task killer does not use much battery, I have used it on JetDroid, ZTE Blade and I use it on Galaxy Nexus!

mostly those apps are opened whatever am I using them or not:

Faecbook

Maps

SuperSU

Google Play store

ROM Manager

I always kill apps with advanced task killer

I have modified build.prop by adding tweaks to save more battery:

wifi supplicant scan interval from 15 changed to 150
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Task killers cause issues, including battery drains. They tend to kill things that Android wants open, so Android opens them again, so the task killer kills them again, and so on, keeping the phone awake. Get rid of it. Also, I've heard that there's issues with the latest Facebook app causing battery drains, try getting rid of that for a little while.

So since i am on XXKK1 and on 4.0.4, i should be expected to have that signal drop issues?

My phone came with XXKK1, i ordered the White GNex model and i have the horrible drop issues.

Also my build is IMM76D - CM Nightly 4/29

If all i need to do is flash a new radio and that ill make the drop issues go away, someone please confirm before i flash a new radio. Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
XXKK1 is not recommended for any build higher than 4.0.1.

Flash a newer radio.

I flash roms like no ones business, when it comes to radios i am a noob. Would you be so kind to point me in the right direction and radio. :o

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Also, signal drop issues are not necessarily due to radio. Official IMM76D from Google had signal drop issues, fixed in latest IMM76I. Not sure if CM managed their own fix, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mad_vtak:
From what they said is that they merged the kernals that came out in their OTA fix.

As far as radio, could you tell me which one i would need?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Look at post #3 in this thread and try some of the newer ones (they are listed newest first), try them out for a day or two, and see how each of them work for you.

What is the best rom for UGLC1 baseband? My battery drains faster now (was the right basrband for my gn)... :S

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
You can bet BBS free here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Also, I suggest you drop the task killer. Even if you don't notice it, they do have a tendency of messing up stuff. Swiping away an app in the recent apps menu completely replaces this and ever since 2.2 Froyo, task killers had their functionality removed for a reason. Trust me, I've seen quite many cases where task killers mess up for apps, browsers being unable to save history, music apps losing the last-played history, various apps getting their data corrupted etc.. Android handles memory itself so well nowdays and 1GB RAM on the GNex is plenty not to be an issue..

Out of the apps you've listed only Facebook should cause a possible battery drain (just disable sync if you have it enabled using a custom ROM and remember to swipe it away in recent apps after use and this should be a non-issue).

Once again, even if you don't notice it, a task killer usually have negative effects on battery because each time you re-open the app it has to re-create the process which uses more CPU power than it would without killing it. Because Android's own process handling is, as said, so efficient nowadays using a task killer consumes more battery power than it saves.

So to sum it up:

Consider trying going a few days following my tips above and not using the task killer and see if you notice a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK! Thank You!

When I'm home then I flash Yakjuux 4.0.4 IMM48 ROM with UGLC1 baseband radio, becuase it should be the right ROM for my GN with right baseband!

I'm not 100% sure is it right.

Is the Yakjuux IMM48 build ROM good, anybody knows? :)

OK! I tested UGLC1 wit the IMM48 or what was that build, it was not good on my GN and I didn't have the right bootloader for that, I tried to flash other boot loader then I lost all files, so now I'm back on IMM76I

:/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Anyway, another question.

I unlocked my bootloader and root the stock 4.0.4 from google, chaged the kernel to franco milestone 3.

As ROM manager somehow did not work, i did not do any backups of my rom, no side effects or anything right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Did you flashed ClockworkMod recovery via Fastboot?

if you flashed and it works then flash the busybox and other files that is needed to make phone rooted, then you should have working ROM Manager!

And best baseband for your phone, I have no idea you can try basebands, maybe you find the right one!

If you have original baseband on your phone (Stock ROM) then it's better to use that baseband what is in your phone!

XXLA2, UGLC1, XXKK6 or XXKl1 are good basebands in Europe (I think so.)

and if you want use other kernel then I recommend this: imoseoyn lean kernel v3.4.0gnexus that is good and stable! :D that kernel have good battery life on my GN!
