Of coarse it does good. Code is constantly getting updated on both the tower and in the android telephony apk. Code becomes more efficient, bugs are worked out and what not. Just like any driver update for any type of computer there are reasons for it. A lot of people have fought this notion for years so if your one of the ones that seriously thinks your hardware capabilities are going to increase beyond what they were manufactured to do from a software update, by all means please believe it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] butikofer08:
Just because you get a higher speed in the morning doesn't make the speed test inaccurate, it's because of network congestion....

With that said I use the speed test app and also run the speak easy browser speed test every time I check to help rule out discrepancies...

Placebo effect....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I don't think it will make the physical radio perform better than what the laws of physics will allow for, but like updating any driver it probably will bring it a tad closer to optimum efficiency and performance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orion2001:
I flashed the radios and don't see any real difference. Slight increase in speedtest numbers but that could very well be a placebo effect. Then I tested my wife's Rezound at the same spot and got a slap in the face...I was getting 12Mbps down and she is pulling 24Mbps down with her Rezound! It's always been like this and no amount of radio flashes will ever fix that. I'm also very sure that my phone isn't a lemon. I tested multiple GNs at various verizon stores against my wife's rezound and they were always much slower on 4G.

It's a flaw I've learned to live with when it comes to the GN. I love the dev community behind it and the fact that it is a nexus device, but it sure does hurt my ego to see my wife get faster speeds and pick up 4G in places where I have to resort to 3G (made worse when I am trying to tether on vacations).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Edited:In my rant I said that wrong

You are correct. But the only file in android associated with download speeds is the build.prop file. Flash a radio then go in and look at the file. It will have the same values entered in as any other radio we have for the gnex. The value entered will be the max capabilities of the phone.

The zip is made to be flashed in CWM or TWRP. No need for fastboot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellybellys:
Also for those of you having issues with these radios, please specify whether you have a .09 or .10 nexus. That way we can get a better idea of which models it makes it better on and which models it makes it worse on.

I have no 4G service where I live, so I can't answer how good the 4G is, but I have a .09 nexus and this radio significantly improved my 3G signal from the IMM76K radios.

My evil friend data drop showed up again last night.:( however,it reconnected faster than it used to.:) phone was acting crazy anyway, system was crashing for no reason.

I did a wipe to get a fresh install of BAMF:thumbup:, after 1st boot I had no signal. Signal came back after a reboot. So idk, the jury is still out for me on these radios.

Side note-

Didn't they fix the thunderbolt radios with an ota?

Oh good, data drop again. As David Byrne would say, "same as it ever was, same as it ever was".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
Slightly off topic but us there a way to update the prl on this phone. On a 3g device you could do *228 but this one won't send that. I don't even know if it helps but I would do that once every three months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1heffer:
I saw a post somewhere that said to remove your sim card, boot phone, power down, insert sim, reboot. That supposedly would update the prl. However, I think that the prl is updated every time you connect automagically, rendering the aforementioned method useless. :rolleyes:

I could be wrong, it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milly7:
I had bad data drops on my first Gnex. I replaced it under warranty after seeing a post from barnacles10 saying it just might be a bad device. I have had the replacement since Monday and have had no drops so far. Still putting it through its paces though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cali3350:
Im having pretty good luck with these radios. I work on the 20th floor of a highrise in Midtown Manhatten and I would always have a tenuous at best LTE signal. It would usually show LTE but then immediately switch to 3g when using data, and then the 3G was quite slow (couldnt view Youtube or anything). Its still falling back to 3G now, but the data rate is noticeably faster.

I give these radios a thumbs up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1heffer:
I think these radios offer some improvement to non-faulty radios. This is my 3rd "like new" Nexus. What a joke. #4 is coming soon.

I know have a R beside my signal. It shows my Network Extender. Will not show 3g but when I get outside a good way from the house 4g signal will come in. Weird
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xenokira:
For those with data drop issues, I understand this can be related to a bad SIM. Might be worthwhile to try and get your SIM replaced. Haven't run into this first hand, but it's definitely worth trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
I tried this before I got a replacement. Didn't work for me but this new Korean gnex sure is. Korea gnex = <3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jawa5636:
Would anyone mind pointing me in the direction of the previous radio to flash back?

I flashed this new one and am not noticing anything all that better. In fact I think it may be just a step backwards. I want to play with them both.

Thanks ahead!

Flashed and immediately noticed a difference. Usually at work I'm stuck on a low 3G signal for the most part, now I'm seeing some decent 4G connection and even when it falls back to 3G it's a better signal and a faster data rate (both noticeable for 3G and 4G). I give it my seal of approval :good: LOL ...thank you!

So far, so good.

I just loaded this over MWALT2's JRO03O rom. In my office I only get 3G, and my results:

Before: 120Kbps down, 150Kbps up

After: 270Kbps down, 130Kbps up

Each time I ran 3 tests and the results were pretty consistent. The phone was within 6 inches of the same location and about 5 minutes abpart for the two tests. I'll get to see if it holds a signal better (it was continually dropping in and out here), and try 4G tonight.

Which recovery are you using? Also (and this may be a stupid question), you ARE on a Verizon Nexus, correct?? Your profile doesn't indicate what country you're in nor which carrier you're using (setting these up would make troubleshooting a bit easier at times).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkyD311:
Wow, what a difference. In areas where the phone would completely go crazy before (4G to 3G to no data to radios shutting off), it's now holding onto a signal. In these fringe areas, the phone could NEVER pick a network before, and would eventually give up and just shut all the radios off. Now, it'll pick the strongest signal and stick to it. No more jumping around/losing connection in fringe areas.

In strong areas, it's exactly the same in terms of throughput. This radio absolutely has helped with connection stability, though.

I did the udpate as well. My phone used to drop service altogether and for a couple of days at a time, whenever I called people all they would hear is static.

Battery drain

I did notice signal strength improvement and faster 3G/4G hand-offs. But I'm also noticing quicker battery drain. My GNex is leaking juice like crazy. For example, 30 minutes on 4G, using Flipboard and battery drops from 65% to 45%. Charging is also relatively slower than before. Anyone else having this problem? Do I need to change some setting? Suggestions please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
Most people experience better battery on 4g even me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowmallet:
my gnex always would drop signal at best once an hour and at worst once every 10 minutes with every combination of radio (when lte was enabled). i finally attributed to a hardware issue that i was too lazy to go and get a replacement for since i was fine using 3g for the battery savings anyway. using these radios and leaving 4g on i have gone an entire day without a single signal drop or issue.

just my observations

I am working on a ROM for the A789.

But rooting may be easier. Do you have a working recovery on the phone?

Turn off phone, remove battery, reinsert battery, Turn on phone while pressing *both* volume buttons: *HOWEVER* you need to press the power button slightly before (.5 sec) you press both volume buttons.

If you have a working recovery, to root may be as simple as installing the "CWM installable ZIP" from Chainfire.

If you do not have a recovery, then please follow me here, I am working on a ROM, but no promise on speed.
