For me phone feels snappier. And data is a bit faster/responsive for me when using slow apps like the facebook app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Seems OK, got it from Paul O'Brien in his ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordofcamster:
Flashed and it works!

Thx and another Link :)

And All thx goes to Paul from MoDaCo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
flashed aswell, all good so far. will post back with battery life in a few days :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kleverman:
Excellent. I'm on 3uk and for the first time since getting the g-nex 2 weeks ago i'm finally getting full bar reception at home on hspa. Rooted and using Paul's latest rom and Franco's latest kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dave778:
THANK YOU!

Yet another KL1 comes up... Sweet!

I flashed the Korean KL1 yesterday (because Wind Mobile users were having major roaming issues with the north american KL1) & Battery life, Battery Readings, Signal & network speed is much better. Best of all no roaming issues.

Here's a link to that 1 as well http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439217

Will try this 1 later :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bram77:
Thanks! So far so good. Not intensively tested yet, but reception seems to have improved, here in the Netherlands. I was having some issues with that. I was using the xxkk6 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
Does this need a new bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royan:
Works fine here as well.

Can't really see any difference with regards to signal strength/performance.

But I guess we'll see if it has any effect on battery in a couple of days.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparky_boi:
Thanks a lot for the radio, it improved both wifi and network reception for me compared to the xxkk6 radio. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Will this baseband most likely be the one included in stock 4.0.3 or do we think something 'newer' will be included with that update?

Im on 850MHz Telstra Next-G using XXKK6 (AUS2 radio network)... might have to flash and test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidbis:
Let me know how you go... currently still on the stock Telstra radio but haven't seen much in the way of comparisons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
I live in Asia, for me krkl01 tad better than xxkl01, signal strength and download speed wise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SchmeeForce:
Do we need to wipe cache / dalvik for this, or are these only for flashing ROM's / Kernel's?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
just flash zip.. thats all you need to do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
This is just the euro version of UGKL1: both are revision 1 of the December 2011 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yanluk:
Australia Telstra - Running 4.0.3 Android Open Kang Project

Had to change manual to WCDMA preferred (default GSM as preferred), after that and seting default radio band to AUS2:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
How do you change to WCDMA prefered? I have already selected AUS2

EDIT: I just found and selected WCDMA preferred with AUS2.. much better speed now :) thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
No radio requires a specific boot loader.

This has been debunked. See latest bootloader-thread for discussion.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1440569

As for this baseband... where does it come from? Any specific/nameable source?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sayan1987:
Awesome.

With kk6 i got wifi signal 0-1 in my kitchen, now i'm stable at 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagl0312:
I tried xxkl1: it looks a little faster than XXKK6 to connect to wifi and to switch from wifi to 3g, no problem seen so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
Getting better speeds with this, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
You're welcome!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
From some random field-testing in Oslo...

- MUCH improved stability. Reception in metro tunnels no longer drives me crazy.

- Getting around 8/3mbps with 59ms in stores downtown.

Seems to have very low packet loss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddler:
How? ;)

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
See thread linked in my sig :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Just saying for Netcom and Oslo.... this radio is night and day. Never had this stable and reliable connection before.

Definitely recommended. Now to see how it affects battery ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddler:
Oh, I thought there was a permanent way. ;)

Thank you anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hands0n:
Flashed XXKL1 just a few moments ago, no problems getting it working. Too early to tell yet, but I ran a Speedtest and it is certainly no worse than XXKK6 that came along with the OTA update last week. "Better" is going to be harder to quantify in a few minutes, but Paul O'Brien's stuff is usually top dollar :)

So, in eager anticipation I am going to give this the thumbs up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyyy:
Flashed it, will see if there any sudden signal drop issue like XXKK6

So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
Instantly saw an improvement from XXKK6.

I used to get 2 bars of reception max at my house (and at the time I flashed it had 2 bars), now it's max.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Anyone in Colorado flashed this?

How was the performance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
flashed hours ago,and write now to report more usage.went to many quarters of my city,used 3g connection,so far so good!in my bedroom i have now 3 bars,when most baseband gave me 1 bar,and xxkk6 two bars...definately the most powerfull baseband out there,intended for my location.for these hours of usage i don't see major battery draining..but it's to early i think to reports well..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Where are you located?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
His XDA profile says Italy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
does this radio only show stronger reception because google was going to increase it after the Verizon signal issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Verizon has their own radios. They do not use these radios as these are for GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
Just flashed (from 4.0.1 yakjuxw) and i got better download and ping, but slightly bader upload.

Cant say i trust these result but at least they may say something. (NetCom norway)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyyy:
whoops, just got a signal drop, actually I had that in XXKK6 and KK1 too, wonder if it is the rom or hardware problem, thankfully never during a call... fingers crossed..

edit: just had another drop, that's twice in 2 hours, this time unlike before, is irreversible, needed to reboot phone (airplane mode trick didn't work either) one more drop today and I'm going back to XXKK6, at least all the drops I had with XXKK6 auto retrieves signal without reboot or anything, and it occurred less than once a day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Anyone in the Colorado area had success with kl1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Yeah I know I just thought google might have decided to increase the bars on GSM too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowboardergrun:
Can someone tell me how to flash this radio

CWM or fastboot ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
fastboot: extract the img file from zip.example if file is called "radio.img"

fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
It's a cwm zip. You can also open it and get the fastboot-image from the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
you're right zephik, center-north italy!

usually,baseband is the only thing that i flash on fastboot,because many says that cwm is a bit risk..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
If you are currently using XXKK1 acording to your signature then there is like 99% chance this radio is better then the one you are currently using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Had the same... Awoke to no signal, put it into Airplane mode via the power menu but then couldnt turn it off from there, had to untick it from the settings menu... Still no signal... Showed that it lost signal during the night at some point as it said 18% without signal...

Only option was a reboot... Installed the radio yesterday and running on a MCR build... If it happens again I may go back to XXKK6 to...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I had this problem all the time with xxkk6. With xxkl1 so far I haven't encountered it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddler:
Woking as a charm on H3G ITA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thanksgiving60:
been using this radio for the past 9 hours

no signal drops of any sort
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
same here,h3g ita too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
Seems to be getting much more data drops for me on att in CT.

XXKK6 seemed much better for me at least
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
As always, each to their own! Gone back to KK6 as I also noticed I was getting E at home when it was H before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
I'm getting better reception with this one, but if I would flash an older radio with CWM it's ok to do so? Or did you restore a nandroid backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You can just flash the old radio via Clockwork or Fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyou:
I'm also having signal drops with KK6 and KL1 (dont know about KK1)

But for me it appears to be related to 4.03 roms. If I use ARHD there is no issue, on both KK6 and KL1...

Weird issue, but my solution is to stay on ARHD (even the newest Modaco, ir9, gave issues, perhaps because it is 4.03 compatible?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob61280:
Thanks for the heads up, I've tried all the radios and getting a new sim but still suffered signal drops.

I switched to ARHD and my phone has not dropped it signal yet, this is significant as in my case the phone usually drops its signal 5+ times well left to charge in a good signal area overnight, I'm going to stay away from 4.0.3 until it is officially pushed to phones by Google.

I hope you don't mind if I stick your advice in my signature for a few weeks?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akrapovic600:
This baseband is great. I'm currently at 1d 5h 54m with 42% juice remaining. Light usage on Whatsapp, facebook and sms.

Currently on ARHD, before this baseband i was using XXKK6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kecinzer:
This baseband is first, that causes "signal noises (tudu tudu tudu tudu) :)" in headphones. I noticed it yesterday.

Anyone have same expirience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kabauterman:
I was at UGKL1 since I got my Phone, and this here is not worst or better, quite the same...

but O2 Suxx :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
dont know about headphones, but what i got in ANY BASEBAND till now is the voice like hearing music over old radio and having a phone with incoming call. (tedededede dedede) dont know how to discribe that sound. but this one i have ALL THE TIME with any baseband when phoning in my ear (it is very quiet, but it is there)

is this just my phone or is there anything wrong with it? thats not ok for a phone costing 500€
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maximum error:
Im willing to bet your on a 2G network. Are you? If so this happens all the time and is just down to the poor shielding in this phone. thats all.

This base and gives me steady 2 bars of H at my office. Previously with kk1 and kk6 I was only getting E there.. battery life is same as kk6...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Has anyone updated their ril when they flashed this radio?

Is there a link to a corresponding/matching ril in the forums?

The sensation forum had it but I cannot find one for the GN.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmwessen:
So far so good Signal got a bit better... will Post about battery life in a few days
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:
I'm from Denver and this radio is working great for me so far on TMobile. I'm sure it's a huge upgrade if you're still using XXKK1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucaZPF:
Same problem for me.

I've experienced this issue with KK6 and KL1

i must reset the device and after the problem is solved...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilpleasu:
Wow!

I have been reading several different threads pertaining to the many different radios. Am I to assume that even though the Gnex phones are all over the world, the radios are different from the ones here in the United States? I'm sorry for my not understanding this....It seems as though the issues are same all over. Bad reception as well as poor battery drain. Just a question...My carrier ( Verizon Wireless ) doesn't have any answers or fixes at the moment. So I'm seeking advise....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Gsm and lte are different kinds of radio, a very basic comparison is like petrol and diesel fuel for a car. You need it to run but you can't run diesel in a petrol car or vice versa.

I don't think all USA carriers use lte but Verizon does so you need to look for lte radio for yours, if you flashed a GSM rom you won't get any signal and flashing a GSM radio might damage your phone in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Your carrier (Verizon) has a phone called Verizon Galaxy Nexus. This is a carrier-phone which is completely different from the international, standard Galaxy Nexus GSM-model.

The international model comes with Android without tethering stripped, without carrier branding and without carrier software.

On the plus side, the Verizon-phone has LTE. On the negative side, it only works on Verizon's network and runs Android modified according to Verizon's wishes. Which most likely does not coincide with yours.

For info on the Verizon model, check the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Development Forum. This forum is for the GSM model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
I am...thank you very much for the feedback. All I'm looking for now is if there is a matching ril for this radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilpleasu:
Hummmmmmmmmm I'm tethering as we speak and it will operate international......

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Hummmmmmmmmm I'm tethering as we speak and it will operate international......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Is that tethering which comes with the standard firmware? The one which means you have to pay extra money to Verizon to use it? Or are you using carrier-ware to enable a for-pay service?

Sure you can use plain Android-tethering. If you void your warranty and load third-party firmware. The standard GSM model however, does not have features stripped or crippled out of the box because some carrier wants it.

If you ever get fed up with Verizon... Can you take your phone to another carrier and just subscribe to their service or do you have a phone which will only operate with a Verizon subscription?

If you go to Europe, can you take European pay-as-you-go cheapo SIM and use services at local rates, or do you have to pay Verizon for international roaming because the phone isn't actually yours?

Yeah. Sorry. The Verizon galaxy Nexus is a carrier-phone and you will never truly own it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Verizon (CDMA) does have a program where they allow you to bring a phone in to their network (usually phones from S. Korea that have not hit our shores.

If you want to leave with your phone, the only option is to flash your phone to another CDMA carrier (and there aren't many to choose from). Most of them don't have nationwide exposure like Verizon.

Currently, Verizon is the best connection in the country. Ironically, Vodafone (GSM) has a 40%+ stake in Verizon. I guess they are hedging their bets. GSM is the best option for me due to travel across the shores but if that was not the case I would switch to Verizon (and suck up the ridiculous data plan costs).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xsoft:
Im on (custom) 4.0.3 with KK1 and Ive got drops :( Everything was fine on 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
I flashed this radio recently. Battery life is quite a bit better. Signal is not showing much of a difference.

Does anyone know if there is a matching RIL (and link) for this radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilpleasu:
All of the above my friend.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
This is where I could say "I don't get it", but if I cause more mischief and derailing in this thread, someone will probably report me to the mods :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

Just one question,ok,ok...I have not read the entire thread :rolleyes:

Someone in Europe (France) have tested this radio?

Reply would be much appreciated;)!,Because i flash the XXKK6,I saw an improvement like many people said (more better with my previous radio) but I still have some random lost signal with this XXKK6...

So,do the XXKL1 improve this signal problem in Europe (France).

Thanks in advance :)

PS:exepect test and and see:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagl0312:
I am in Europe (italy) and installed XXKL1 since a week.

I see some improvement with the battery life and signal sensitivity.

However I didn't have signal losses even with XXKK6, so I cannot say if XXKL1 is better in this respect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrisperNeO:
I had signal loss with KL1 quite often, it was frustrating, but the battery life was actually better. Now I'm on KK6, So far no signal loss.

By the way I'm in Germany.

Swiped from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I was using XXKL1 only for a short time, because it appeard to me that battery power is rapidly decreasing. I was out at the time, and had only 20% of battery left after flash. In next ~10 minutes I lost ~7% if I remember well. Conisder I was listening internet radio, but still it is to much.

So I switched back to UGKL1, which worked and works quite well. No connection losses.

I am in Vienna Austria A1 network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatguy123:
Any USA users on tmobile using this radio? Better or worse than XXKK6?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Better battery life for me...likely due to marginally better signal but no change in wifi.

Colorado area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
I'm testing it now, so far so good. No signal issues - good ping - good bandwidth.

Came from UGKK7 and believe the battery life is much better thus far.

Edit - TMOUS in Philadelphia
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lusaco:
I'm trying XXKL1 for about week and I had a couple of signal loss, the same experience with XXKK6 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
I am on XXKK6, and have never had a loss of signal, so it is most likely your carrier that is the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyou:
Not really. For me it looks to be related to 4.03 Roms. On ARHD (4.02) I was not having this issue, and also on the older Modaco Roms I had no problem. Just yesterday I installed Manhattan (another 4.03 rom) and today i'm having signal drops.

Just switched from XXKK6 to XXKL1 on this rom, so can't say whether XXKL1 also has these issues, but definately not related to carrier!

See this thread for my latest post about it.

Edit: Lol Just one minute ago had another signal drop. So on XXKK6 and XXKL1 on a 4.03 rom. Used XXKK6 on ARHD for a few days without signal loss/drop
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafrad:
Unrelated to signal drops, can anyone with this overseas radio connect reliably to 5ghz wifi signal in the states? My phone won't latch onto my home or work 5ghz networks... Don't want to keep flashing radios if I can help it....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Radio doesn't have anything to do with your wireless signal. Try another kernel. My phone wireless works nice at 5 GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafrad:
Edit: Radio *MAY* have fixed it. Changed 2 things recently, Kernel and Radio. Don't know why the kernel would do it, as it was from franco 13 -> 13.1...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20569003&postcount=2

Went there, got UGKL1, flashed it with CWM, and it was hooked up and on our 5Ghz WIFI at work immediately upon boot. had the 2.4Ghz band turned off... Wifi was on before reboot into recovery, but had no networks found.

Either the Radio has configuration for the different regional 5Ghz wifi channels, or wiping cache & dalvik again was a required move.

PS: I'm on TMobile in the USA.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

Hmm, Didn't think about the kernel. I flashed Franco's 13.1 kernel this morning *before* work, but didn't wipe caches. That could have been it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_cosworth:
I could use some help here. Updated to 2.1.4 on RevHD and the XXKL1 radio.

Now I am having issues with hard re-starting when the screen goes to sleep. I think it is the XXKL1 radio as I downgraded RevHD to 2.1.2 an it was still doing it. Downgrading back to the K6 radio now and will see what it does.

KL1 radio gave amazing battery life though. I was getting 30 hours on standby if it didnt restart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tanklaster:
Have the same problem. With Android 4.0.2 everything works fine.

Are there any ideas to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray2jerry:
I would like to second this motion. Korean KL1 works MUCH better on WIND and I'm uploading at almost triple the speed now (thanks in part to your suggestions Dave778, I've been following your posts as us WIND GNers seem to be a rare breed at the moment lol).

I also want to try out this Euro baseband tonight to see what happens, I have a feeling the Euro one would be better suited to WIND as the parent company originates and primarily operates there (not that it might make any difference as they could be using completely different equipment but it's worth a shot).

Just for stats I'm averaging about 4.50mb d/l and 1.50-2.00mb upload around Ottawa. Are you in Toronto? And what are you averaging there Dave778?

EDIT: Update - XXKL seems to work even better than the Korean baseband with WIND... for me at least. Thanks for the up!!

rAy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Been using XXKL1 in Toronto for a few days now. Works great. No issues seen so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airchie:
I noticed a previous poster was asking about RILs.

Coming to the SGN from an LG O2X and am used to updating my RIL with my baseband.

Is that still needed on this phone?

Currently on RevHD 2.1.3 and using XXKL1 radio.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slegrand:
been trying it for a few days now on WIND mobile in Calgary overall I have been pleased with the results. I was getting some signal drops on XXKK6 & 7 that seems to be gone now. Even noticed a slight boost in data speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
Just flashed this one, will give it a go for a few days. Previously had zero issues with XXKK6 on Telstra.

Initial thoughts, sitting in my loungeroom, before applying had 4 bars, now sitting on 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aiuspaktyn:
I noticed a slight boost in WiFi data speed!!!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] red 90:
No difference in signal strength here coming from a UGKL1. I haven't used it long enough to see if the battery life is different.

FYI I'm using eagles blood 4.0.3. rom with Franco 13.1 Kernel.

Only thing that pisses me off is my GF's Iphone 4s is right beside it and it gets 3 bars solid and I'm hovering at 1 close to no signal... damn!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Bars don't mean squat. What's the SNR. That's the only good comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] red 90:
True, however when her phone can make calls and have an internet connection where as mine is struggling to get a connection, her iPhone clearly has a better radio. We are both on the same network. I can't find anywhere on her phone to see what the signal strength is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
That's because Apple manufactuer your signal on a iPhone. The radios and antenna they use are poor quality compared to other phone makers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qledo:
after using this baseband on AOKP-mp2 franco13 my battery has gone from epic to almost epic, so its gone slightly downwards from kk1 and kk6

time to reflash kk6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] io53:
I was getting signal drops with radio XXKK6 but this one seems to be working perfectly :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
Does anyone have the ability to create a ODIN flashable PHONE file, not really wanting to root the phone or fart ass around with FASTBOOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I don't think it's possible to change radios without unlocking the bootloader manually. I could be wrong, I'm not too familiar with Odin.

But it's relatively easy with fastboot. Just my opinion.
