The new radios work just fine. No noticed difference from the previous radios. About 24 hours of use, and the battery life seems about the same, signal strength is about the same, and I'm getting 3G and 4G connections in the same areas as before.

Re: [Radios][VZW] ALL the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Radios 3/5/2013

I installed the new radios this morning and I have had horrible luck. Over 15 calls drops through out the day. I live in a large 4g city (Raleigh nc) and have never really had a problem before today. I tried to flash the previous radio and still have same issue, so tried the same radio my wife has in her gnex Fc05/Fc04..she gets - 100 mine sits at - 120 no matter what radio..

even tried different rom..

Suggestions?

My reception with the FK01/FK02 radios has been terrible. I can't get a 4G signal anywhere. I've been 3G all day. The absolute best signal strength I've had is -93dBm where I'm typically -85dBm or better. The worst part is the no 4G. I can only get 4G when I'm at home. I can see the 4G tower from my home office it basically sits right above my house. Holding the phone in line of sight with the tower I still get -93dBm. On my Thunderbolt I get -32dBm...

I'm going to try and flash back to the stock images like I suggested below.

Unfortunately I had the same issue as chrisloveskaos. I flashed the new radios and experienced degraded performance. Flashing the old radios didn't restore performance.

Same here. I couldn't even get 1.5 mbps in download speed. Plus the connection would just keep cutting off. Not to the point I would "lose" 4g,but in the middle of a video it would just keep stopping and buffering like every 30 seconds. It never did that before.

which radio do I use?

ok so I rooted my Galaxy Nexus i515 like a year ago... it game with 4.0.4 when I got it but I can't remember if its the IMM76K or the IMM30B version... how do I check to see which one it is for sure... I'm thinking it's the IMM76K...

The reason why I'm messing with the radio is because I think verizon put out an update and I didn't get it and now my phone doesn't want to receive all the txt that are being sent to me from my GF... kinda a problem haha when you don't answer her back ya know? haha

any help will be much appreciated :)

oh one thing to add... right now I am running JB 4.2.2 does this make a difference?

Re: [Radios][VZW] ALL the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Radios 3/5/2013

You can go into setting/about phone

And where it says baseband it will have your radio version

However, since these are full radios it won't matter what your past version is. You are more than ok to pick and choose whatever radio that you want from this thread.

Re: [Radios][VZW] ALL the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Radios 3/5/2013

I've gone back to 4.1.1 posted in this OP and still, no 4G. So I dl'ed a different 4.1.1 from RootzWiki and it works. What's up with this?

What is the "official" JRO03O? The one in this OP says "Unofficial" when you flash it. The RootzWiki one does not indicate one way or another.

Not sure if my ROM could be affecting any of this. I am thinking that I might flash a new version of the ROM (Muzzy for VZW Gnex) and see if I can find the official JRO03O radios. I need a baseline!!

Just flashing the radio will not change the Android build number. Only the baseband will change when you flash a radio - updated radios are FK01/FK02.

Interesting. I flashed the newest 4.2.2 radio (FK01/FK02) with no problems, signal shows essentially the same, went from -99dBm/41asu to -98dBm/42asu. Time will tell whether it improves stability.

Unrelated, though... I've been on PRL 15192 since forever, sometime in mid-2012 at least. I just manually dialed *22899 and it surprised me by successfully completing a PRL update - now the phone is showing PRL 53074 and reconnected to the network without any problem.

This will make figuring out whether the new radio made any improvement on its own functionally impossible of course, since more than one thing changed, but I hope the combination of new radio and new PRL will give me more consistent 4G across my area, there were a few spots previously where it dropped back to 3G in the middle of otherwise-strong coverage for no reason that I could figure out.

my signal sucks bad on the new radios. Not sure why. Its annoying though..makes me want to throw my phone out the window. Ive always had some kind of reception problem on all my gnexes. Ive had like 3 replacements (not all related to signal) and its the same crap. It looks quite bad for verizon and android in some people's eyes. Every time I try to show someone a video or something on youtube...my phone trys to handoff between 4g and 3g and the video buffers...loads...never plays....i have to wait like 5 minutes before I get a signal back...then it sucks...and Im standing there looking like a moron with a POS phone that wont even stream a video in its entirity w/o some kind of lag or buffer.

This has been the result for me on this phone...regardless of radios...regardless of replacements. Same crap happens when I look at the demo unit in the stores. And they even have a repeater.

Im about at my end with this device. Most likely will be getting an s4 when its released.

I had high hopes for the FK01/FK02 radios, but they Suck for bluetooth voice quality like all the rest. The only radios I have found to have excellent bluetooth voice quality are the FA02 radios.

Maybe no one else uses bluetooth, but the difference for me is amazing. FA02 is clear and loud. All the others are garbled and sound terrible.

I'm just glad we have the options to try other radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Were the FA02 radios ever pushed out through an ota? I notice in the main post that they're tied to the IMM30B update, which I believe was never official and subsequently never pushed out via an ota. If that's the case I've never tried them.

Hmmmm.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Strange. I've had nothing but steadily improving experiences with the incremental radios. Call quality is spotless over Bluetooth or in an area with horrible signal. Newest radio set hangs onto 4g with a death grip in weak areas before it switches to 3g, and switches back as soon as the 4g signal is picked up. No signal drops, no data breaks to speak of.

My experience has been positive with the new radios. I sometimes have a hard time going back to 3g in low signal area but overall I think it's a better experience.

Yeah the FA02 were never official. I'm glad we have options. The bluetooth voice quality is more important than any other factors for me. I can appreciate every has different experiences with radios. I think it is easy to cast off bad call quality as signal issues when it is bluetooth. That's why I have to try them all out for a few weeks.

Like I said, it's good to have options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yakitori2:
its that "death grip" thats annoying. Because I cant even stream a video when its doing it. Its horrible and embarrasing when I want to show someone a youtube video that I thought was funny and the only thing funny is how crappy my phone looks because it just has the stupid spinner the whole time...then play 2 seconds...then spin some more. Most of the time it does this is because its handing off between 3g and 4g...and there is a delay of no network connection when it goes between the two.

Unfortunately this has been my experience on the gnex with 3 different phones. All have horrible reception. Hell Ive even had my phone have 4 bars full blue 4 g connectivity and still buffer like a madman on youtube...almost like im being throttled or something. Sucks for me cause I do a lot of that with my phone.
