So i was comparing download speeds between my galaxy nexus and my nexus 4.

The GN pulled about 6-7mbps while the N4 pulled down about 15-17mbps both on T-Mobile USA HSPA+.

For T-Mobile users, what is the best radio/ril combo they are using on the Galaxy Nexus? I tried the latest dump on the Galaxy Nexus which got me the above results.

(My signature is a bit out of date FYI)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
the n4 is suposed to be faster on TMO than the gn :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cthater:
Yea but is it faster on AT&T then T-Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Nexus 4 has HSPA+ 42

Galaxy Nexus has HSPA+ 21.

The real question is which HSPA+ service is available where you use the phone?

I live where there is no 4G, only 3G and not where I live.

(std. disclaimer) As always YMMV, i.e., Your Mileage (and speed) May Vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilkarunatilaka:
True. But if I recall correctly when I first got the Galaxy Nexus I was pulling down about 10mbps.

Lately with all the radio flashes now I'm at 6-7mbps (same test spot). I'm aware the N4 has a 42+ modem and is faster.

I was just asking if anyone T-Mobile USA users had a good modem/ril combo on the Galaxy Nexus as the latest dump I flashed has dropped it down to 6-7mbps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Seems to vary depending on local terrain, service, weather, and such. Network changes can effect it too, as they add more cells for voice and data, they have to retune all the others around it, so it continually changes.

I'm a few hundred miles south of you in rural coastal CA, with 3G or GPRS/EDGE in much of the outlying areas. I have settled on UGLH1 after trying about half a dozen different radio/RIL combos, giving each one about 5-7 days of test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:
We extract the new radio of our Brazilian Nexus ( Galaxy X ) present on new OTA update 4.1.1. and put to a zip to flash with CWM

Uploaded to depositfiles: UILH1

If helps i can upload to anothers mirrors

Flashed here and works like a charm :D

cheers! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Good stuff. Will upload to my server and add to front-page tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilkarunatilaka:
Any mirrors or can someone upload on XDA? Depositfiles is blocked at my work :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:
Do you have a preference of server?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Great job! Do you know someone with the official OTA installed over stock still? I was hoping you could md5sum the RIL for me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:
2 guys from another forum... i can see with they if they can get OR... in the last case i install the factory image from X and get this

How can i get de md5sum?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
There's a X factory image? Well sure then, if you'd be willing to put that on and then update through the OTA. Then you'd just have to copy the RIL from /system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so afterwards and upload it here. I can do the MD5ing myself. :good:

I'm sure the OTA thread would benefit from having the OTA URL too if you or those guys could capture it before applying the upgrade. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilkarunatilaka:
Netload seems to not be blocked at my work. If you could. Or if you attach the ZIP and upload the XDA post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
Does anyone know which modem would be the best for data usage in my country which uses the 2100mhz or 1800mhz band?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:
We have 1 link for de 4.0.4 ( or 4.0.2 i dont remember :p ) of X, i'll post after and will see how can i extract from the phone the ultimate 4.1.1 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
We now have 3 radios all built the same month, AFTER Jelly Bean was offically released in July 2012. :cool:

So UILH1 = South America?, August 2012

which joins its peers XXLH1 (Europe, August 2012) and UGLH1 (North America, August 2012).

_______________

What is "UI" prefix specifically? :confused: Is it Brazil only or some section of South America? I see

"UH" for UH---> Latin America, The Caribbean

. But what is "UI"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:
i think its for Brazil bacause both "UI" were extract from the Galaxy X ( Brazilian Nexus )... but dont mean that dont work on other region :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I'd guess UI is Brazil/South America just like UG is Canada/North America. You don't see UG in the USA, it's all XX International/Europa there; UG is only in the Canadian build, but it's generally accepted as the North American radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
lets give the new radio a try, maybe its better for argentina too :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Apparently August 2012 was "Radio Month" for Google. :D They built a batch of radios that month -- after Jelly Bean was released -- and are now dribbling them out one by one... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KGrinols:
This post needs to be included in the OP as it's extremely informative and useful.

Thank you, it helped me greatly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Most of that info (apart from rils which is purely optional) is already on the front page ant taken directly from it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Thanks! I just updated the post to include UILH1 -- which is the peer of XXLH1 and UGLH1. Right now those three are the newest radio builds, with all 3 being build in August 2012 AFTER Jelly Bean was released.

_________________

Not unless the front page has been re-arranged recently, it's not there. (Just checked, it hasn't).

The front page lists the radios is chronological order of when they were released or even posted to this thread, NOT the REAL measure -- the date when they were BUILT.

No disrespect, but when a radio is "released" in a ROM is irrelevant. When a radio is posted to this thread is really irrelevant. The radio build date is the real determinant, the information we need.

There were ICS-era radios being released in ICS OTA update AFTER Jelly Bean -- but those radios were built months before. ROMs are released or even delayed for other issues. For radios, build date is the real determinant. That's why they are named according to region and build date -- not ROM release date.

SEE this? Wrong information. UILEI (3rd down) is NOT newer than UGLH1 (4th down). UGLH1 is MUCH newer radio, built AFTER Jelly Bean. UILE1 was built in May 2012, before Jelly Bean was released.

UILE1 = built May 2012 and released in an ICS update.

UGLH1 = built August 2012 AFTER Jelly Bean was released.

Yet you have UILE1 as NEWER than UGLH1. :confused:

Also you have UILH1 as the newest radio. It's NOT. UGLH1, XXLH1 and UILH1 were ALL built in August 2012. You cannot say one of those three are newer than the other unless you have technical notes from Google engineers we don't? I say all 3 were built the same day! :cool: I can at least prove all three were built the SAME MONTH. :victory:

I thank you for putting all this information together, but the organization is a little confusing when you list the radios by order of when they were found or even in alphabetical order (another post on the front page). INSTEAD, They should be listed by BUILD DATE as that shows when they were actually created and that Google engineers were using latest research and testing data up to that point in time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Let's check the front-page:

Yeah. That's covered. Before the radios are even listed.

My thread, my rules. What you think is irrelevant.

I decided when I posted this that build date can be derived from the baseband-name, and hence what is interesting to people checking this thread regularly is what is new relative to the thread.

This has been repeated a million times. It's not news.

If you disagree with that, fine, but lets not be so black and white about it. There can be reasons for listing things in several orders. As a service to the nitpickers, I even created two distinct posts: Alphabetical order and thread freshness order.

And I even included a changelog. How many threads do you see with a well maintained changelog? And like we all know: build-dates can be derived from baseband names.

And I'm spending gigabytes and gigabytes in monthly hosting to keep things simple for the flasher. Direct downloads. With no ads. As a free service.

I think this is good enough.

Thanks for the spoon. You want things in build order. I get it.

But that's not going to happen, not unless this thread collectively riots, because that does not match how I work when I need to keep the posts updated.

Anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Sure, your thread your rules. But if others think it's confusing, don't say the information is there. OK? How the information is presented makes a big difference. You could add another section listing by build date, make it prominent, and that would be most helpful.

Listing by "alphabetical order". REALLY? How is that useful at all? Instead it's a hindrance to knowing which are the newest radios.

Replace that "alphabetical" list with a BUILD DATE list and problem is solved.:good:

Even the "freshness" list is disinformation of a sort,as it freshness as to when radios are added to this thread, not freshness of radio build date. If a radio were built in 2011 and you added in 2013, it would go to the top of YOUR freshness list. See how silly that is? :rolleyes:

And some of your information is arguably wrong. (UGLH1 is 3 months newer than UILF1 but you list is as older.) You have not refuted that point at all.

Don't get snippy if suggestions for improvements are made.

You have a lot of useful information but all people are saying is it could be organized in a more relevant way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
The radio name clarifies the build date so I agree listing in build date is irrelevant..

Thread is well maintained IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Improvements can be made.

Radios should be listed according to build date, not when added to this thread. If a radio were built in 2011 but added to this thread in 2013, it would be at the top of the list. See how silly that is? Come on, you're smarter than that.

Obviously build date is the MOST important information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
That's not wrong. Like I said, that post lists how radios are new to the thread. UILF1 is newer to the thread than UGLH1.

For someone checking in since UGLH1 was posted, they will see that UILF1 has been added too.

You are saying you want it in build date. Fine. Noted. A very few others have voice such an opinion too. But the majority here seems happy about things the way they are. So I'm not changing it.

Plus it interferes with the way which the FP posts are updated. So unless there is a riot, I'm definitely not changing it.

As for alphabetical order, I remember when I was looking for some weird, specific named radio for my SGS1 which people promised would give me much better GPS-reception, NOT having things in alphabetical order made it very hard to find it.

See? Alphabetical order has a use as well. Especially in reference-threads, like this one has become.

So.. With that said, how about chilling out with some beer? After all, it's friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I agree that people can derive the build date from the name.

But the issue I have with post #3 is the quote: "Newest listed first, older listed later." What is newest? Maybe change that quote to read "Listed in order of being added to this thread" instead of mentioning "newest", because "newest" apparently means different things to different people. That would clear up a lot of the confusion. Or just get rid of post #3 altogether, and just have them listed in alphabetical order in post #2.

In the end, it's josteink's call. But I agree with ChazzMatt in that ordering them the way they currently are in post #3 is confusing, and ordering by build date would be easier, at a glance, to see which radios are actually newer.

This I agree with. josteink has done a great job in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
That I can actually be bothered to do.

Edit: Done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Also listing by build date is confusing and may cause you to miss radios that were built a while back and later leaked or released. People following the thread may miss the older build radio even though it's a "new" release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kocai:
Finally found a match to XXLF1. Will definitely use UILH1 and test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProficienTICS:
Hi im wondering if anyone can suggest the best baseband for Australia/Telstra? I currently have XXLF1.

Any help appreciated !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Here's my opinion/advice in case anyone is interested: use the most recent radio (i.e., the newest, i.e., the one created/built last) with the most recent ROM (and thus the most recent RIL) unless they are giving you problems.

So, as of today, that would be JOP40D + **LH1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber:
This ^^^

I too have been trying to find this answer.. Telstra uses 850mhz NextG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
The only way to answer that is to test the radios that are meant for your area/carrier, and test to find what works best for you in the specific places you use your particular phone.

This might help.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32403307&postcount=1510

I'd start with the **LH1 versions, as suggested above by @efrant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeBaldi:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Check my suggestions two posts above yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
efrant suggested LH1 actually. Basically just what I suggested before about how if you're using a recent radio and a recent ROM then the RIL will already match. :good: :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Duh, dumb typo. I fixd, uh fixted, uh fixed above. :o Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
This is good general advice, but shouldn't be followed blindly.

I've often found the latest radios to perform worse either with data-rates or power-consumption and found myself reverting back to am older one.

You will probably also have local variations.

Basically: give latest a try and then try your way backwards :)

(If anyone is interested in my 2 cents)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
04af518deec07743f27947240694e887 *cwm-RIL-UILH1-yakjuvs-JRO03C

Matches the other JRO03C RILs. Thanks. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33788079&postcount=1675

No surprise since they were already using the newer RIL in the last ICS build for yakjuvs; I was curious if they were going to jump ahead again, but I guess not. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashihatred:
Was wondering what baseband would be good for 1800mhz?:/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
All of them, in theory, since the GNex is a pentaband phone.

Start with the **LH1 designated for your area and then go from there. There are many suggestions just a few posts above yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashihatred:
yeap. tried one with the newest. Seems fine. i get H+ on first 10 seconds of boot then E again.

tried the DVLF1. seems good also :) observing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I have never seen H+ on my phone. Could it be radio specific even though an s2 on the same network gets H+ I'm using XXLH1 on orange UK (now EE everything everywhere).

Can others on the same network in UK comment as to if you ever see H+?

Doesn't really matter though, just pop into about phone and check if your phone is on hspa 8 or 15 (i think)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah I got HSPA+15 showing in that just would be nice Google included it. At least I know my phone it's using it I guess :)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
Hmm. Somehow or rather. My phone only gets data connection when it shows hspa 15.

As in when it's just the h logo. No data is incoming.

So you can presume whenever you've got pages loading. You're on hspa 15! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Hmmm interesting find. I just tested for my self, turned off wifi, got settings/about phone/status and loaded up play store then switched back to status screeen and saw the change from hspa 8 to hspa+ 15 and when play store finished loading it switched back to hspa 8

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
Cool yeah? I'm thinking it's because of the lesser battery usage hspa 8 has? So the phone automatically drops back down when there isn't any data usage?

Idk why it wouldn't drop to 3g instead though.

hi Im on aosp r8 ,would like to know if i can update to ugla4 or if there is a latest one that can be used for India.

can you provide a zip file ,which i could flash through clockwork mod recovery.Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Every radio in this thread has a cwm zip. And if you're having good luck with UG in India then logically maybe you should try the newer UG radio. Check the OP for all of that.

cmw ril xxlh1-takju.zip

cmw radio manguro.zip

fastboot radio manguro zip

if i want to update just the modem do i need to flash all three or just one(which one),is there an order in which they should be flashed otherwise?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Wow. You are new. :p

cwm radio is the radio/baseband in a recovery flashable zip for use in a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod (CWM) or TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). fastboot is the same radio but the bare image for flashing with fastboot. So you don't need to flash both since they do the same thing by a different method.

The RIL you'll have to read the OP for information on. Don't skim through. Actually read. It's the only way you'll learn and not have to ask as many questions in the future.

Also you need to do some more required reading. Follow the links in efrant's signature: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1566190. Read How-Tos 1-4.

Depends on your carrier and area. ;)

UGLH1 gave me better signal in theory (by the numbers) but worse call quality and more drops than XXLH1, so I'm back to XXLH1 personally.

Dead Radio

Off Topic Post....

My Radio stopped functioning earlier in the day in the middle of a phone call. I have not been able to get it to find a network provider since that time. My details are as follows:

Phone: MAGURO

ROM: RBJ 4.1.2

Kernel: Trinity Stable 67

Provider: T-Mobile

Baseband: UGLH1

RIL: UGLH1

Location: Hawaii

I tried putting my Indonesian Telkomsel SIM into the phone to verify it was not a physical problem with the SIM and the phone could not find a network operator with the new SIM. My Nokia phone works just fine with either SIM. I tried flashing another baseband to see if it had something to do with that but this did not help. I did update Busybox last night from the Play Store but i dont think that could have done anything as the phone was working this morning for a while? The Wifi is still working though.

Does anybody have any idea if there is some code i can run to talk to the radio to see if there is a problem? Or does anyone have any other ideas what i can do to fix the situation. Or what Forum is best to post this question into?
