hey, can anyone help me i am currently using the XXLF1 with jellybean 4.1.1 and my wifi and cell signal has been. Meaning places I was getting service, i can no longer and wifi keeps dropping. is there any baseband I can revert to? I am currently in Bermuda my provider is the bands are the same as american ATT GSM and 3G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtwannabe:
Did you flash the matching RIL with GetRIL? XXLF1 works great on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
If he is on stock 4.1.1 he has a matching ril.

hey, i'm not on a stock JB, im on Team Inferno Aroma. I havent Flashed a stock RIL, how would I do that?

ok,, i stopped being lazy read and matched the RIL, will test for the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iurylima:
is anyone else having poor wifi reception with JB?

Flashing another baseband will do any difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
I think wi-fi reception has more to do with the kernel than the baseband. Someone who knows better will probably correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
The baseband has nothing to do with Wifi. It's the wifi driver in the kernel that controls the Wifi/bluetooth chip.

Can i flash this baseband directly via CMW?

My internet is slow like a snail and i cant download anything even when in 3G mode.

Hope flashing will provide me with faster internet speed.

Experience of WInd Users with UGLC1 and UGLA4

I searched through the thread and it seems quite a few users on Wind (Canada) use the UGLA4 baseband. Just wondering if there are any Wind users with the UGLC1 baseband and what their thoughts are on it. Need to upgrade to 4.0.4 and trying to decide which NA baseband to use.

Thanks,

I only know of GetRil. It can tell you if your ril and baseband match and DL the correct ril. It doesn't measure speed or anything like that tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aamadorj:
I not sure if Speedtest will help. It can measure download and upload speeds of any Internet connection, but it won't record information about baseband or RIL. Anyway, you can try it for free. :)

Getting edge in lots of places eith this jelly bean radio.

My 1st radio too so i havent tried the okder ones.

Any1 recommend one? I live in dominican republic.

I tried the UGLc1 and it was worse btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscojunior:
Hi, all!

I couldn't find anywhere in this topic this specific information, so I'm asking here.

Can I flash the 4.0.4 radio through fastboot on my gnex 4.1.1 ? I noticed that internet and gps signal are a lot weaker with 4.1.1 radio.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Yes, ICS radios will work in Jellybean, and vice versa. Just make sure to download the GetRIL app and use it to get the matching RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscojunior:
Hmmmmm, I don't have a rooted device. As I installed 4.0.4 from Google images and then received 4.1.1 through ota, can I assume that my ril is ok and then install 4.0.4 radio directly through fastboot?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you updated to 4.1.1 via OTA, then the RIL on your device is for XXLF1. If you flash an older radio, you can flash the corresponding RIL (if you want) in CWM. No root required. See the RIL link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Why does GetRIL tell me something is wrong? I'm running stock Google JB on my GSM GNEX (no root or any other hackery - bone stock). I mean, are they smarter than Google??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I think it gives you that error because you aren't rooted so it can't access the file to check the RIL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscojunior:
Thanks, efrant! I'll try to update the radio and then update the ril with cwm.

I'll post back here with my experience when I

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Maybe because you are using the XXLA2 radio with JB. You are not matched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leegalaxy:
I basically am having the same signal/GPS issues with the OTA update of 4.1.1.

I too have XXLA2 and GetRIL reports that I don't match and suggests LF1.

I was quite versed with my previous device the Galaxy S gt-i9000m but alas, I have been thrown back to n00b-dom since acquiring the Gnex.

So I will go ahead and ask you here: since I am not yet rooted, can I still just use the toolkit to unlock my boot loader and then flash the new radio (LF1)?

I'm on mobile atm so I can't follow the link in @efrant's signature.

Thanks everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you can unlock and flash a new radio. (Although i would not recommend using a toolkit.) Note that unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device.

And by the way, you can follow links in signatures using tapatalk. Just click on open in browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leegalaxy:
Thanks for the reply. Geez, I forgot you could choose Web view:rolleyes: I've only been off of XDA for a month and look what happens:o

On topic, I have gathered from reading some of this post that the prefix and alphanumerics in the radios relate specifically to the region etc... I wonder then why XXLA2 and XXLF1 would even end up on our Canadian Gnex when it seems that UG is the Canadian prefix?

I guess because we manually flashed the developers preview?

From what I've gathered, users in Canada seem to report great results from the UG radios.

A friend of mine has XXLF1 and I have XXLA2 and we don't suffer too badly but I could stand a bit better GPS, battery, and reception...

I will test and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DPU16:
Is there a chance that a non-matching RIL will be better than a matching one? I am having signal issues - it is weaker than I expected. (But then again, I am comparing to an iPhone 4s. I just assumed that the GNex should have at least as good of a signal as my iPhone)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I wouldn't worry too much about the prefix. Try a bunch of radios and see which one works best for you. I personally find no discernible difference between a lot of the radios that I've tried, be they UG radios or XX radios.

Two things:

1) It's possible that you could get better results from a non-matching radio/RIL combo -- this was certainly the case back in the WM6 days.

2) I hope you are not comparing the number of bars on your iPhone and comparing them with the number of bars on your GNex. You cannot compare numbers of bars across devices, they are all calibrated differently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
When I was on yakjuICL53F with XXLA2 I had for sure a better 3G reception than now thatt I am on takju JR)03C with XXLF1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andelain:
Hi Stumpy,

Thanks for the update.

How did you get it ? I was with Telstra for 9 months and never received an OTA update.

Cheers,

-Andelain-B^)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Telstra aren't the only telco in Australia. Vodafone also have the GNex and at least one update has gone out for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
How do you find this one? OK, I'm being lazy: happily running XXLF1 for a month or so, and just wondering if it's worth 'downgrading' to an earlier image to get the 'Australian' radio, especially when I'm not sure if I can find the RIL...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcvigo:
Xxfl1 is unnaceptable. Im running comparisons on an ip4 and the ip4 has full 3g and i dont even have edge in this spot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyrellcorpnexus:
I've had better reception with XXLF1 than XXLA2 in the boonies (on Jelly Bean ROM's)

weird that some people are saying the opposite.

On AT&T in the US in case it matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Did you match the RIL? If not, use GetRIL from the play store.

Here in Sweden (located in Europe where the XX** radios are meant to be optimized for) I'm having excellent performance with LF1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyrellcorpnexus:
What is this talk of matching RIL?

total n00b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
My understanding is that the RIL is basically the radio 'driver'. If it's not matched to the current firmware, it can potentially cause issues. On the other hand, sometimes a radio is actually better with a particular non-matched RIL.

There's an app called GetRIL on the market. That will help you get a matching RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyrellcorpnexus:
I see.

GetIRL indicates mine is matching. Thanks.

I would have suspected as much since XXLF1 comes with JB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Thanks, but I was asking specifically about the comment for an _Australian_ radio. I am running XXLF1 with matching RIL quite nicely and getting good 3G speeds, but it's always worth checking out the radios built specifically for your own area, even if they're marginally older.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Well, the second post in this thread has the newest Australian radio listed second. If there's a matching RIL for it, GetRIL can install it for you. Worst case scenario: it doesn't work, you flash back to your current radio, and you're no worse off.

[GSM]

I've tried every possible combination of basebands/RILs on both 4.0.2 and 4.1.1 but frequently have my data connection dropping. H/3G icon disappears and reappears randomly once every couple of minutes. This even happens with a strong signal. Any one else experience this and what baseband are you using to mitigate the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
This morning I had my data bouncing on and off it was really weird. I think it might be Google login services having problems as I was watching logs and it was Google services and exceptions occurring. Then it stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guisantes:
I did these tests over the last week so that wouldn't have contributed to my issue. That also only makes the 3G/H icon flicker between grey and blue, not on and off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Which ROM and kernel? Logcat?

If it happens on stock, it might be some kind of carrier or hardware issue. Have you tried out your sim in another phone, or another sim in your phone? It could just be a bad sim card, or dirty contacts, or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guisantes:
I'm using Stock kernel & stock Rom. I've also tried it on another Galaxy nexus and have experienced the same problem. I'm using my sim without problem on my Nexus S. I suspect it is a carrier issue in combination with the radio, as it happens more often on Rogers than on Bell. I should note that the dropout also occurs on Edge when in 2G only mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
Hey im a little lost here, my problem is that i cant get any signal of my carrier claro Ecuador, no mather what sim i try always no service.

I got installed radio XXLF1 should i try other radio? im on 4.1.1 what do you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoh_anim:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Are you sure you're in a coverage area?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
Yes all my family is using the same operator
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Okay, let's see if I've got this right. The sim works fine in another phone, so you know it's good. Another sim with a different carrier works fine in that phone, so you know the hardware in that phone, at least, is good. You know you're in a coverage area because you have other phones with the same carrier. And you've tried a whole heap of different radios here and none of them are giving you good signal.

Okay, try this: Go to the phone, and dial *#*#4636#*#*, then click on 'Phone Information' in the screen which pops up. Now click on the three dots (menu button) in the lower right corner of the screen, and click 'Select Radio Band'. Try out the different options there and let us know if any of them make any difference.

I've posted a new Telstra radio, DVLF1, here.

This is an Australian Telstra baseband extracted from the Telstra ITL41F to IMM76K OTA update for YAKJUDV Telstra gnex phones and released yesterday.

FYI, there's an error in the DVLE1 radio entry in the first post. I believe that DVLE1 is actually a Vodafone radio, not Telstra. It seems that Telstra and Vodafone Nexus's both identify as YAKJUDV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Great thanks.

If I understand correctly, I don't think there is a difference. Vodafone yakjudv and Telstra yakjudv are both exactly the same. At least that is the case in Canada: Bell , Rogers, Wind, etc. yakjuux are all identical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkrick:
I never saw a response to this, so I will tell you what I have seen and read. On AT&T, you need to use the APN matched to your service plan. If you have a 3G service plan, you need to use the old "wap.cingular" APN. If you try to use the newer "phone" APN, you will not get any data service at all. If you have the "4G" (HSDPA+, not LTE), you need to use the "phone" APN. If you have the HSDPA+ plan and you try to use the wap.cingular APN (which may be the only APN that shows up by default if your SIM is from an older 3G only phone), your signal will constantly change between 3G and H (and potentially E).

My SIM came from an AT&T Galaxy S Captivate. When I installed it in my new GN, the "wap.cingular" APN worked fine,but when I tried to add the new "phone" APN, I got absolutely no data service on it at all. I then called AT&T and requested that they change my data service from 3G to 4G (not LTE). After answering a few questions and verifying the IMEI of my GN (he could see the current active IMEI on my connected device), he changed my plan from 3G to 4G, asked me to restart my GN and then verify it worked. After I restated, my GN was using the "wap.cingular" APN (it was selected as my default since "phone" had not been working). Data was connected, but kept changing between 3G and H. I then changed the APN to phone (and set it as my default) and when the signal indicator came back, it was H and has stayed on H ever since (I have not seen a single E or 3G).

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

I have seen it said more than once that "XX" in the modem name makes it a "European" baseband. Would it perhaps be more accurate to say that "XX" is non-carrier or non-region specific? The US Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ sold through the Google Play store comes with "XX" modems, not "UG" modems, which would lead one to believe that "XX" does not indicate Europe. It looks to me like an empty placeholder used in non-specific basebands.

There are some slight differences between the Telstra and Vodafone yakjudv models. The radios are different, and the Telstra models have WB-AMR (HD voice) enabled. I've found the Vodafone DVLE radio works quite poorly on the Telstra Nexus on the Telstra 850mhz network (on any ROM, JB or ICS). Lots of dropped data connections requiring reboot etc.

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of that. As I said, in Canada, all carriers have the exact same yakjuux build.

That radio is actually: I9250TDVLE1. (I just verified it.) Are you sure that is a Vodafone radio? What model is the Vodafone device? I'm pretty sure the Telstra device is I9250T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dolphin Trainer:
Yeah that's definitely Vodafone. I confirmed it via posts on the Vodafone forum when it first came out.

The "T" in the build string is deceptive, but both Telstra and Vodafone nexuses are called I9250T.

reboot after radio flash

reboot after RIL flash

Shouldn't make any difference but if you are having issue, you could always do it. It won't hurt:

wipe cache after radio flash

wipe dalvik after radio flash

wipe cache after RIL flash

wipe dalvik after RIL flash

Certainly won't make any difference:

reboot before radio flash

reboot before RIL flash

wipe cache before radio flash

wipe cache before RIL flash

wipe dalvik before radio flash

wipe dalvik before RIL flash

For me it's not that bad but I tried different radios and always came back to what I had originally on the phone. And I'm always disappointed when I think about the signal strength of my Galaxy Apollo compared to the Gnex.

Aren't things supposed to get better with evolution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
XXLA2 was alright with ICS.. but UGLC1 was better I think. With JB now I've been sticking to XXLF1 on Telus in PEI with no issues whatsoever, other than my apartment is in one of the few parts of the city that doesn't seem to have a good, close tower. ;)

Either way, any of the UG ones would be my first step.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Iirc AT commands were only really valid to control analog modems when you controlled the modem to control analog signal modulation via a serial line interface and had no other way to interact with it.

Obviously we are past those days, the radio in our phones does not do analog TDMA data but packet switched data, and we don't have a serial line interface for the radio either.

I'd say no.

Edit: read links. Doesn't seem entirely implausible but I haven't seen anything which suggest its available or needed for normal non-modem usage.
