Gday,

ROM: update-cm-9-20120407-NIGHTLY-maguro-signed.zip

Radio: XXLA2

I have the Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone Australia. It came with the bootloader unlocked. Got it on the 16th December, so probably part of the first batch of Australian stock.

I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by mskip to root my phone.

I then tried following all the steps on the CyanogenMod Wiki to get the ROM, which was a mistake. Essentially, I tried installing the Android SDK, which requires some version of Java. Couldn't get it to work. Already had ClockWorkMod on my Galaxy Nexus (probably because I had it on my prior Nexus One), so I just downloaded CM9, backed up everything I wanted to keep using DataSync, wiped everything, and loaded the ROM.

The ROM I'm running is a nightly version of CyanogenMod9 (which I first loaded over the Easter break, being 20120404 at the time).

The radio is XXLA2 (which I loaded about an hour ago).

I'm not a hard core user, so I don't benchmark or test for speeds, so I don't know how much better this is than what I had before (it was what came with the phone, DVKK6? and 4.0.1).

Gut feeling though, it seems to keep the battery longer on idle, but feels like it drains quicker when I'm using it. This is probably because I didn't have haptic feedback on or a live background before I put CM9 on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I tried CM9 but it was a little unstable and had lots of features which I really didn't need. Have you tried the LC1 radio? It seems to be better than LA2 for reception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silverx:
do you know where i can find this factory image file? i dont know why both telstra and samsung dont put it on their web
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
They never do... I got no idea where to get stock roms only where to get the Google Stock roms which are slightly different. I think the google stock rom is close enough to pass if you need to RMA your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jocalderone:
Hey guys! :)

Got my GN this morning and couldn't wait to open the hood.

I be on AOKP milestone 4, Franco milestone 2 with DVKK6.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Just a quick question if i may!:rolleyes:

DOES the radio effect/influence the strength of wifi? (this looks like a touchy topic in other XDA threads)

I'm asking this, since i tested my i9000 next to my GN and went through browser, youtube, instagram, facebook - with my S1 loading all data (thumbnails, vids) A LOTTTT faster than my GN :mad: (let alone my sister's S2!!!)

Both on same wifi connection, viewing non-cached data. GN, I am dissapoint.

....or is this strictly a ROM/Kernel problem?

Thanks! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toansta:
Hey guys just wanted to find out if anyone also had this problem.

When you use live wallpapers such as the microbe one, does scrolling between screens lag for anyone?

Also I'm on aokp build 31 with Franco kennel nightly and my phone gets hot when using it for like 15 minutes. Normal for anyone else?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChubbsMcBeef:
Hi all - same as above for me. Swapped out my baseband from XXKK1 after constant network dropouts (unrelated to Vodafone itself :p ). DVKK6 working like a charm for over a day now.

Stock Testra ROM and bootloader

Hi - just wondering if someone can help me out with a stock Telstra ROM and bootloader. I need to return the phone to OEM condition. I know I have found hem on the net before but can't find hem for download anywhere. Cheers.

Getting a nexus in australia

Giday guys. I am thinking of getting a galaxy nexus here in oz. Just wondering if i get in on contract whether it comes locked to a network and whether it is better to just get it unlocked on ebay? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rypac:
I'm pretty sure that most networks will unlock your phone for free. I know for a fact that all it takes is a call to Optus or Vodafone and they unlock it then and there. Not too sure about Telstra though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drift spunk:
For those on optus do you have delivery reports for sms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Generally phones on contract aren't locked. It's usually only the pre-paid which are locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kba712:
Cheers guys..Any tips on the carriers? I am from nz so I am not very familiar with the carriers here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
What is the best radio you guys are using with Telstra?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
DVKK6 on Telstra .. been most pleased with the overall performance of this radio, no matter what the circumstances.

In regards to network locking, I've just purchased a second nexus, and I can confirm Telstra's Samsung Galaxy Nexus's are not sim locked. What is interesting is the build quality .. :-/.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennv17:
I'm on UGLC1 right now but I've gone back to DVKK6 a few times. I've been trying to find a good combo of kernel/radio for a while now.

I bought the extended battery (2000mAh) and it was great for the first few weeks but after that it's gone to only getting a slight improvement over the stock battery. I'm not sure if it was down to the kernel/radio or maybe the battery itself but it's frustrating.

I was on Leankernel and switched between DVKK6/UGLK1 for a while but just thought I'd try UGLC1 to see if I could get back to the better battery life. I'm back on Franco's kernel (which I haven't used since pre-M2, they never felt that good) and it's comfortable, so we'll see how I go.

Anyone on Telstra running really well with network performance and battery life on a certain kernel/radio combo?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
Just gone back to DVKK6 from XXLA1 .. got sick of it. Still running 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
Quick review for Adelaide on optus. Data could be faster, but these tests were performed in my room (sadly a bit of a reception black spot) with 2 bars of HSDPA reception.

Quick speedtest (twice) on UGLC1:

Download 917 + 1592. 1255 Average

Upload 1621 + 1061. 1341 Average

Ping 119 + 119

Speedtest of dvkk6 (three times):

Download 2851 + 2599 + 3598. Average 3016

Upload 903 + 525 +392. Average 606

Ping 124 + 240 + 82. Average 148

Better downloads by dvkk6. I don't really care about uploads.

Coverage wise, in reception black spots uglc1 is better at holding 3g whereas dvkk6 just loses all signal. However dvkk6 has stronger 2g coverage by 1 bar.

Have yet to test call quality with dvkk6 after upgrading to 4.0.4. UGL1C has nice clear audio. Will give dvkk6 a good go over the next week

Based on data speeds alone, if you get 3g coverage with dvkk6, I suggest using that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wakd:
Hi Guys,

Just thought I would add to my issues with Vodafone and 4.0.4. I first installed stock 4.0.4 and could not get on the network. Then I installed AOKP M5 and franco M3, saw the network briefly but then back off again. Not sure what radio I was on during this - whatever comes with stock 4.0.4. I have since tried XXLA2, UGLC1 and DVKK6 (all with AOKP and franco). DVK66 is the only one that can hold a signal, but it seems a lot less strong than what the phone was before on stock Vodafone. I'm in Erskineville in Sydney and am getting only 1 or 2 bars most of the time. Having said that, when I actually use the internet it seems to run quite fast (haven't done any proper speed testing yet). I only did all this last night, so going to persist with DVK66 and see how it goes. Really annoyed that I can't have 4.0.4 with good reception! Any other Vodafail users got any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Galaxy Nexus with Vodafone in Perth, AOKP Milestone 5 Rom 4.0.4, Default M5 3.0.29 tuna-faux kernel, original stock 4.0.1 baseband radio DVKK6, I have never changed or flashed my radio before an i get only 1 or 2 signal bars at my house but full reception at work and I live 10 min from inner city, strange my iphone 4 with Vodafone usually gets 3 bars more at home than my gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Why don't you upgrade your radio? I'm using stock 4.0.4 with XXLA2 and its working fast and stable for me.. if not there are many others to try like UGLC1 and UGLA4 etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
I concur with the XXLA2 radio, personally the DVKK6 is more efficient, for me at least, this is on Telstra in Perth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Flashed the latest radio UGLC1, made a big difference with my Vodafone network coverage an speed thanks, I wish I had done this months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Why can't telstra get their lazy asses into gear and bring out 4.0.4 and a new radio. People here always complain about AT&T from America but telstra has to be the slowest carrier to release updates. Its frigging embarassing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericphung123:
What's the best baseband for the Galaxy Nexus in Melbourne??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
XXLA2 radio seems to work better with 4.0.4 roms like AOKP Milestone 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samthe2can:
So the general consensus is XXLA2 over DVKK6 for telstra with a 4.04 ROM?

Edit: UGLA4 is terrible in Tasmania with telstra
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Vodafone is still on ICS 4.0.1 hasn't changed since the galaxy Nexus was first launched so, at least telstra customers have more coverage an speed thanks vodafail, I only went with Vodafone because it's like half the cost for the same monthly contract compared to what telstra offer with the data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Which carrier? (it varies)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogger55:
Hey,

Just about to take delivery of a nexus. I plan on using the toolkit to root and go yakju.

I'm in Victoria on Optus - assuming when using toolkit i get to 4.04 any tips on best radio?

Also, assuming I flash 4.04 rom then I'll just keep the stock radio and that may be fine?

Thanks for any help.

edit - grammar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
Just bear in mind when you flash yakju if you change your radio thereafter, all subsequent OTA updates won't install properly and you will have to flash the original (xxla2) to get the OTA or use CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
As an addit, DVKK6 has incredible call clarity, far superior to UGL1C. I haven't tried all of the radios yet, but I think I may stop now anyway... crystal clear calls of DVKK6. Don't think i need to look any further
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neos_83:
I'm on Optus. Currently using LiquidSmooth ROM 1.4/franco r162 kernel & radio xxla2.

I am noticing when waking my phone from deep sleep the signal bars go grey for a few seconds (still full signal and data still connected). The grey bars mean you have lost connection to google servers. After several seconds the bars go back to blue (so reconnected to google servers) and stay this way until phone re-enters deep sleep i assume. Not a major concern but it probably effects push notifications from google apps like gmail.

Anyone else notice this? Had the same issue with AOKP m5 and both faux kernel and franco kernel. Can't remember if I experienced this on stock google rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Yes, happens to me sometimes, variable time to reconnect to the servers. I've never bothered to look in to it, thinking it's probably just network lag.

Telstra on Apex 1.1.3b2 (4.0.4), also happened on Apex 1.0.2 (4.0.3). I don't remember if it happened with stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Any of you guys tried JB yet? Rocking it with the new radio, and it rocks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Not JB itself, but just flashed the radio onto my 4.0.4 and d/l speeds are significantly better on the 3g.

Calls work (making, at least), but haven't really tested call quality yet; calling my home phone and saying "Helllooooooo" doesn't really constitute a valid test....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Morsolo:
I just flashed JB onto my Nexus. It looks amazing, if it wasn't for the fact that my microphone is screwed... It is muffled, so nothing works properly (if it requires voice). However, Camcorder and Loudspeaker Microphones work fine...

Problem is... I can't find the stock Telstra GNex ROM anywhere... So I can't even send it back for repair... ****. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Do Telstra add crap to their G.Nex roms? I thought they were meant to come with the Google stock rom, like my one from Vodafone did.

Just download & flash a stock rom from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju relock your bootloader, and plead ignorance...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Morsolo:
I went through the ENTIRE ROM and the only difference I can find is the Baseband/Radio. Which I flashed on top of the stock ROM anyway. There were no other differences that I could find. Which is hilarious, why didn't they just have the official ROM with OTA updates? :(

And I actually saw a case where a guy took it pretty high up with Telstra arguing that he was lied to, as the entire point of the Nexus program is to have timely updates. Which clearly didn't happen, as the GNex is still on 4.0.1 with Telstra. Telstra ended up agreeing with him, apologised; and said they would still honour the warranty if he loads the official ROM.

However, it was pointed out that it was a once off exception and that they cannot guarantee warranty would be upheld to any other customer.

But I'll just tell them I took it to Samsung directly and that they re-loaded everything to try to fix it, no idea that they changed it to the "non-Telstra" ROM. If they even pick up on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Actually, the warranty is irrelevant. You have statutory rights under consumer law which say that Telstra have to fix or replace your phone. The HARDWARE issue with your microphonecan't be software related, which means when sold the phone either wasn't of reasonable quality given the purchase price, or wasn't fit for purpose if it broke within six months. Have a chat with consumer affairs if you can't get anywhere with Telstra.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattwilkinson11:
Has anyone got the stock telstra rom?

I think it is YAKJUDV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
According to two posts ago, it's stock. Download it from google and flash with Odin or the galaxy nexus tool kit. Then flash the radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eminemkh:
how about sydney vodafone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dolphin Trainer:
Seems to be a few people wanting this lately, so here you go. This is a factory-reset CWM nandroid backup of ITL41F.I9250TDVKKB (Telstra's 4.0.1 ROM).

It is rooted but nothing else is changed, I just kept it to flash back to so I can grab OTA url's and new radio firmware that might be released.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJ.Moore:
Hey, I've never flashed anything other then stock before and I'm thinking of going to the AOKP Jellybean ROM for the GSM Galaxy Nexus and

I wanted to know how stable and usable it is. Also do I need to root or do I just need to have CWM installed? Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
you don't need to root if you are unlocked and have clockwork mod recovery. The ROM comes with root.

as to stability, I can't comment. Cyanogenmod 10 is pretty stable; 9 (the ics variant) is more stable than stock. Aokp is highly customisable, but the sheer volume of options can be daunting if it's your first custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julian.kueh:
I'm on aokp black bean v 3.0.9. Very smooth and stable. Battery life is good too.

When Matt Spaccerelli noticed that AT&T was slowing down his data plan, he took the company to small claims court and won, reports the AP.

His reward? A cool $850.

Judge Russell Nadel found in Spaccarelli's favor because "it wasn't fair for the company to purposely slow down his iPhone when it had sold him an unlimited data plan."

This sets an interesting precedent -- of its 17 million users on an unlimited data plan, roughly half of its smartphone customers, AT&T throttles the top 5% data users. They're not allowed to band together for a class action suit, so each member of that 5% could have his individual day in court.

Only time will tell what happens.

ATT is appealing so until the appeal is done the driver doesn't get his money. After all the court fees n such he might not walk away with much. Brave though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Never do class action if you are going to do that. You will definately get less $$$. You will only get a piece of the pie, not the whole pie.

FYI, Per say if everyone join in and do Class action with 1000 peoples. and suppose the court fee is 40% (guestimate). If the class action won $850. With the 40% fee you the amount left will be $510. Divide that by 1000 you will only get .51 cents per person. But if each of 1000 people do a small claim personally, each would get $510.

Now time that by 1000 it will cost AT&T $510,000 vs $850.

And once you are part of the class action you cannot re-sue AT&T for more money.

I don't think there will be a lot more. The compensation was awarded to the balance of the contract, and the longest contract is only 2 years. If you don't upgrade, you are no longer on contract, but if you do they already have the new contract for you, so it looks like we can't win.
