I think I don't understand your post. When I disable wifi, my battery drain slows down, period. It doesn't matter whether I have good or bad mobile signal, if wifi is on, the battery drains at least twice as fast as when I don't. So I toggle off wifi most of the time, and my battery life is pretty good...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah that's true, but I'm saying it also seems to keep the low signal drain more reasonable, since Wi-Fi off or on with okay signal at my home drains little, Wi-Fi on at work with no signal drains terribly, and Wi-Fi off at work with no signal keeps it about the same as at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
Really a strange comportment !

About radio's, I have test 5-6 differents and no difference in signal reception... Just one thing : with the UILH1, I have a GPS fix Increadibly fast ! With the app sygic, cold fix (data off), 5-6 secondes and I get a fix !

For people who are trying some radios, I'm from Belgium with Mobistar. I use the radio with JOP40C/JDQ39 RIL on the JDQ39 takju and before with the stable CM10.1 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I think this explains why my GPS takes forever to get a lock, I will look into this.

Beamed from my Grouper

Edit: Flashed UILH1, got back my blazing fast GPS lock that somehow disappeared with the 4.2.2 update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
Glad to hear !

osm0sis, just one question about the RIL : I know the point of it and that we need to flash de RIL of the frimware version but what is it really ? I mean, the radio is "out" of the ROM : when you flash a rom (like CM), you don't flash a radio at the same time ! You flash a kernel,but the bootloader, the recovery and the radio don't change but what about a RIL ? Is it a part of a radio ? Is it "disepear" when you flash a new radio or a new rom ?

Thank you for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Follow the RIL link in my sig. It's part of the ROM and my current advice is you should never touch it unless you're updating to something newer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
Well, I readed your post but I understood that it was a part of the radio, and that when you flash a radio, it flash the RIL who corresponds to the frimeware witch the radio was extracted... (I have a bad English, maybe it's the reason why I misunderstood) !

Now I understand, so when I flash a older radio on a newer ROM or a radio "craeted" for the version of the rom, Idon't need to flash the RIL of my android version after. But if I'm on a 4.0.4 ROM and I want to flash a XXLJ1 radio, there I need to flash the 4.2.2 RIL, thank you !

I've retested the XXLJ1 with CM10.1.2 but now I'm sure : the UILH1 give me a amazing GPS fix :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
When your flash ROM, your also flash ril.

When you flash radio, you flash radio only.

Never flash ril. Forget ril exists.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Exactly. :)

I only include "unless it's newer" for those odd people who wait to upgrade their ROM but want to use the newest radio. Eg. 4.1.2 ROM with XXLJ1 might want to use the newer JDQ39 RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
Exactly what I understood with your explication ! Thank you, and tanks to josteink too who confirms :good:

EDIT : One question again, since yesterday, my GPS fix become slower... With the same apk (Sygic), no update, same rom, radio, kernel... Just two programs installed : Battery doctor and Lagfree fix...

Why the fix can become slower ? Any idea ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big nu:
So what's the overall consensus on the best radio for tmo US? I haven't been in this forum in forever and would like to update my wife's radio..

She's currently running one of the DoCoMo radios..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aamadorj:
About your question, GPS fix depends on different factors: hardware, weather conditions and "visibility" of the GPS satellites. First factor can be considered a constant but the other two change without control.

In particular, the number of "visible" satellites change with location and time and four or more are needed to fix a receiver position. You can check the " constellation geometry of navigational satellites", as it's called, at this website: http://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi/Satellites/12?

The information provided there is a little technical, but it's very interesting. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
There is no consensus. Cellular voice and data coverage vary tremendously for different areas, even within a few miles. You have to experiment to find what works best for you.

That said, I am in central mountainous coastal California, very rural, very weak 3G service in most of the areas (primarily highway corridors), outside of the main town. The latest European radio works best for me, better data, lower voice service.

My cell signal is so poor at home that I use my GNex as a VoIP phone there, so I go for better data connections along my two daily commute corridors where I seldom need voice service, but do stream music during bike or bus rides.

Where you live and travel will determine your choice.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skylined:
I am currently using the SCO4DOMLE3 on my Japanese Galaxy Nexus (SC04D) and I now have better HSDPA service from Digicel Trinidad (1900MHz)

I was using the radio from the latest 4.2.2 yakju nexus image...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
I've tested the radios proposed by CM team for maguro (on their wiki page).

In Belgium with Mobistar, it seems to be the XXKK1 who work the best in my coutryside....

Just one thing : apparently, better signal ( 95dB / 8 asu instead of 103/5), better GPS fix (30 sec max) but lesser 3G...

Oh and by the way ! I think that the dB don't influe the number of signals bars... Systematically, by passing from 5 asu to 8 asu we are passing from 2 bars to 3... But with a good dB, the sms are sending more faster and the voice quality in calls are better...

Is it possibile that the asu correspond to the bars signals and means the possibility of cut-off and the dB are the quality the transfer ? Like with the wifi, the distance with modem is the risk of cut-off but the output is the loading's speed ?

Edit : Now I have a random issue : no reboot, but I need to rewrite my PIN code and after this, no signal... Need to reboot... Any idea ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You're using one of the oldest radios around. I'd guess that wiki article is very outdated. Not sure if it's got to do with your PIN code issue but using something that's at least LA1 would be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
I know that it's an old radio but I have better signal with this radio than with XXLH1/F1/UILH1...

Maybe I'm gonna test some newer radio frome here :)

EDIT : Oh, on the main post there is an advertising for this radio ! Sorry, I read the intro with the explicatio of the radio but not all the radio list...

EDIT 2 : Tried 4-5 one's, found UGLL1. I have more on less same perf than XXKK1 but with no issue this time.

Thank you, once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Today I found an interesting screenshot on our Russian android forum. Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.3 JWR24B, baseband I9250XXLM1. Does anyone know what's this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
It was leaked for Nexus 4 and 7, maybe for Gnex or someone ported it, or ???

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...wheel-for-android-available-xda-developer-tv/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I also find UGLL1 to work very good in Greece/carrier: Cosmote. Strongly suggested for greek users!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
I sure would like to get a hold of the GNex version to flash. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skylined:
Me too, waiting for leak to flash...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
All the final versions (usually) have the same build number. That Russian one is different (and earlier) than the leaked build numbers on the other devices, so likely a test/RC build. Might as well just wait until Wednesday for the official final version. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
XXLM1???

Did Google invent a new month at the end of 2012?? If so, I propose we name the new month 'Bob'. Or 'Steve'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
The XXLM1

The M in the screenshot looks shopped tbh..

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Haha very true! We should be looking for XXMA1 at the very least! :)

There was a JWR23B that was spotted in the wild, so I thought 24 was plausible as another test build, but that 13th month thing would be really weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
Is it possible to have a good signal but a battery drain ? Or unadapted radio brings bad signal and therefore battery drain ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Depends. You could have a good signal because the radio is boosting it's power to have one. It's not a big issue though. I'd be more inclined to work on my wakelocks so my device can deep sleep effectively to save me more battery than worry about what the radio is doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:
I was wondering because no wakelock, no apps (Just installed MX player to see some films), no activity without screen-on but I feel a little more battery drain when screen off than before...

I have also a good "repartition" in battery settings : 70% screen, 7% multimedia (Because i was listening music), 4%System, 4% idle, 4% Android OS and thats all...

Anyway, It's not really important, I can use it 3 to 4 hours and the screen off allows me to cover one day of work

Thanks osm0sis :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Boo, huge letdown. The radio is still XXLJ1. The bootloader got an update to MD04 though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UlbaWan-:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamczyk777:
Can someone provide flashable ZIP with primecl03? Please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
efrant's got a thread for that if you search it. Or you could just extract it from the 4.2 Factory Image and fastboot flash it.

We're getting pretty off-topic here so any further talk of the bootloaders should probably be directed to efrant's bootloader or OTA threads. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
Doesn't that effectively make XXLJ1 now newer than UGLL1 ?

Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
No, because of the build date code. The date the radio is "found" in the wild or "released" on ROM has nothing to do with when Google BUILT the radio. The date when the radio was built shows the research that went into it at that time.

A engine built for a car by GM in 2003 and kept in a warehouse, but "released" in a 2013 car is still an engine built using 2003 research, specs, thinking. It's still a 10-year old engine under the hood.

Maybe Google kept the radio from the last "international" ROM just because it simplified matters. Maybe radio development resources are being focused on Key Lime Pie and a new universal radio for 4.3 was not a priority.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
I've been reading about differences in Wi-Fi performance between JWR66V and JSS15J. Does the latter have any new radio?

Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Remember that wifi is controlled by the kernel and not the radio, so a new radio has no effect on wifi, only mobile data.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
a bit of an issue ( i think )

i flashed the XXLJ1 coming from the XXLF1 radio

All's well but in better battery stats, there's a entry : No or Unknown signal

and its been running for 10 hours straight (from the moment i flashed the radio)

but battery drain's the same (im sure of that)

Should i be worried? :o:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I don't think I've ever not seen that in BBS, even when I'm connected with good signal. I wouldn't worry about it.

Edit: Never mind, does seem to work now (didn't before). It further divides the Battery | Cell Standby use details percentage by data and signal. Pretty cool! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:

anybody know which radio works best (most batt efficient) in Asian region - specifically Philippines? been using XXLJ1 that came with stock 4.3 and im only getting 2:30hrs screen time while i used to get 3:30 in CM 10, now im wondering if its the radio..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Others have made recommendations, read the thread to see them, it is not that long.

Most have found that you need to try different radios to see what works best for you, since everyone has different needs in different areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bky16:
I am using the docomo SC-04D version of GNexus, which is now running 4.3 with I9250XXLJ1.

I am having problems like couldn't regain the cellular data after leaving the lift where no signal is available whatsoever. I would had to switch flight mode on/off or reboot the phone to get it right. I'm using it in China with a CMCC sim.

Would it make a different if I choose another radio ? And which one is recommended ?

CWM: Original post, neXfiles Dl

- Originally from yakjuux JOP40D Jellybean 4.2.1 OTA update." ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Because UGLL1 is newest, shown in post #2 and #3. It is newer than XXLJ1.

Letter in position 4, J,K,L means L is newer than J.

so let me get this straight, in the factory image of JWR66Y HERE (4.3), google included XXLJ1 on accident instead of UGLL1?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Pretty much, though I doubt it was an accident. The radios are for different regions, and Google may have had a reason for preferring the xx to the ug version.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Since I can tell from your questions that you missed some key posts in the thread, read this, and then search for other posts by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] with the string "builddate".

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33788079&postcount=1675
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
UGLL1

UG= US/Canada

L = 2012

L = December

1 = Release 1

XXLJ1

XX = Europe/International

L = 2012

J = October

1 = Release 1

The build date shows when the radios were built. That module is then put into a ROM, which may be released months later -- depending on when Google wants to release a new OS (business reasons, technical reasons). Until released, the baseband software is sitting there doing nothing, gathering dust.

ROM release date and when the radio is found in the wild mean nothing. Build date shows the point in time Google built the radio, using research data. A newer build data suggests some improvement, at least for the region code it was released.

So, do you want a radio built in October of last year -- or a radio built in December of last year? WHAT did Google improve for a radio they felt compelled to release just two months later?

Having said that, Google tends to use XX radios for general releases. Any Nexus phone you buy from Google Play will have XX radio, even though you have a U.S. address.

So, even though a "newer" UG radio build is available, Google used the newest XX radio available for 4.3 Jelly Bean. They are probably holding back newer XX radios for Nexus 5 with Key Lime Pie 5.0 in November. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I apologize for the repost but the original zip is hosted on depositfiles.com (so probably not forever) and when flashed states it is installing "UIKL3". I wanted to correct that confusion and upload it directly to xda with the build string info we have for all the other recent radios; especially since this is one of the better radios by all recent accounts. All credit to [MENTION=3226631]LeBaldi[/MENTION] for the original dump and upload of course. :)

yakjuvs JRO03C (JB 4.1.1) OTA dropped in December '12 and came packaged with a new radio. Attached is the UILH1 radio in recovery flashable zip, and fastboot img (once unzipped) formats.

Radio build string:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aswinrulez:
So ugll1 is the latest but uilh1 is the better radio?

Isn't newer updated version supposed to be better than older ones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Read.

"one of the better radios"

What radio works best has always depended on your region geography and cell tower band + coverage.

UILH1 works best for me in my area, and others reported similarly positive comparisons. Many also like XXLJ1 over UGLL1 and UILH1 for their areas. I definitely like UILH1 over UGLL1, and marginally over XXLJ1. If you read back, many also thought UGLH1 was great compared to XXLH1.

So I'd say these 3 or 4 make our recent "better radios."

Find what's best for you, there is no overall "best", so please stop asking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Newest is always known.

"Best" varied by cell provider, number of cell sites, quality of radios, the terrain, how big the town, where you live and where you use your phone. You have to try different ones to see what is "best" for you.

ps - I do not use either of the radios you quote above, neither is "best" for me.

OP posting a big, red font-type post right here.

TLDR: I've packed down my Galaxy Nexus for a HTC One.

At this point I wont really be paying much attention to what happens in the Galaxy Nexus universe, and probably wont be updating this thread.

If someone would rather make a spin-off thread and copy/mirror my collection, that is completely cool. [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] ?

If nobody wants to do that, because it's work, I can definitely relate and wont be taking any files or threads down either. In that case, feel free to PM me once new radios arrive with details, and I'll get it mirrored, ULed and mentioned in the posts.

Huge respect and massive thanks to [MENTION=3630667]josteink[/MENTION] for seeing the need for this thread almost as soon as the Galaxy Nexus was launched, way back in December 2011, and maintaining it diligently since then. :)

Things will largely be staying the same, I'll re-host the files on my Dev-Host and leave neXfiles as a mostly-up-to-date mirror if josteink is still okay with hosting (since I notice most of the other mirrors are gone), and there probably won't be too many more basebands released. When I have a bit more time I'll also likely tidy up the OP a bit and get around to reorganizing the "By Date" post to reflect the build string dates I discovered embedded in the basebands. :good:
