[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Oh,I believe they will release the 4.3 update, but based on the yakju/takju variants not receiving baseband updates,I don't think the Verizon GNex will either. Also the Toro source that's on github has the current radio set tied to 4.3.

Does that mean I will be able to flash them?

Does this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45030830 answer my question about if/when we might have new 4.3 radios to flash soon?

I don't know enough to know if that post is true.

Sure hope so

Binaries are not radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
So this has absolutely nothing to do with 4.3 radios being released?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ozzyager:
I think binaries are from Google and radios are from the carrier, Verizon in this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Probably not, Google releases the binaries for developers and because they know people still build for and/or with the phone. The update itself to 4.3 that would include the radios comes from Verizon not Google. With the phone 2 months away from being 2 years old and adding into the fact that Verizon is adamantly opposed to open phones. I highly highly doubt there will ever be a new update for the Verizon gnex. However, no one really knows except Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] young440:
Hello all,

Does the 4.2.2 radio work for a 4.3 ROM? Also has anyone heard of a baseband version of I515.09 V.EK05/I515.EK02?

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrVJTod:
Ek05/ek02 is a very old radio.

4.3 has no problems with the 4.2.2 radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
That's not really true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
Yep

Honestly I don't know where everyone is getting problems with their radios on 4.3. I've flashed about 10 different roms on 4.3 and haven't had a problem with and one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Race To Die:
Same here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuraspeeD:
Mine couldn't be worse. Tower handoff is horrible, and the switch from 3g to 4g to connect to the network takes 5 minutes, sometimes never. I'm constantly having to reboot when the phone is going in and out if reception since it never reconnects to the data network.

Its bad enough that I'll probably go back to 4.2 soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TechSavvy2:
Go back to 4.2.........and have the same radios as you have now...... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbtrumpetguy:
any word on 4.3 radio flashable zip? I've had about 50/50 luck so far on 4.3 ...it loves 3G for some reason
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhd:
Verizon has not released any 4.3 radios yet, but as soon as they do they will be behind on the 4.4 radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynbiosVyse:
What 4.3 ROMs are you guys running?

FK01/FK02 (4.2.2 radios) has trouble with CM nightlies 8/19 through 9/5, especially handoffs. 9/6 and 9/7 were totally borked of course. 9/8 and 9/9 CM nightlies have been working flawlessly for me with those radios.

9/10 is broken again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
I just dropped back to the last set of 4.0.4 radios released just before the 4.1.1 radios came out and I'm on carbon 4.3 nightly and I have yo say it's quite beastly I have amazing signal everywhere I go and everything seems a lot more fluid in the handoffs maybe some of you will have the same luck as me

I noticed after about 45 minutes after my flash I got a text from Verizon servers with gibberish in it after that its been a perfect radio for 4.3 ROMs

the exact one is 4.0.4 IMM76K
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
I tried those radios but it made things worse for me on Codefirex rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
every phone reacts differently , I've had nothing but good things in carbon ROMs I may not if I switched to another ROM I'll post results as they happen as for right now they are awesome on carbon

I find in most areas if I'm using the 4.0.4 set I stay connected to Verizon wireless better if I update and go to the same locations I switch over to t-cdma 34 and 35 and have horrible signal but for some reason on the 4.0.4 and older you avoid those 34 and 35 connections
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Have you noticed any significant issues with using 4.0.4 on 4.3 roms?

Sent from my AOSPA 3.99.1 RC1 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
I've not seen any issues what so ever, I can send and receive MMS and SMS all day, I have noticed better battery life since switching back and I seem to have the full force of 4g everywhere I go with about 40mbps down and 30mbps up when tested with speed test.net

all in all I can see no reason to ever upgrade from the 4.0.4 radios unless Google releases an update that forces an update to get signal

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

quick update I've done installed the latest of the vanir/atom nightlies and am still enjoying full speed with MMS and SMS :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynbiosVyse:
I just tried 4.0.4 (IMM76K) with 2013-09-18 nightly of Vanir and it is the same problem with CM 2013-09-18 nightly (tried with both 4.0.4 and 4.2.2 radios.

When you enter airplane mode and then turn airplane mode off, it never regains 4G data again. You have to reboot to get it back.

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've been running the 4.2.2 radio on CM nightlies the past week and other than this airplane mode thing, haven't had any other problems.

yeah every phone acts differently with everything lol glad you got a working pair with 4.2.2 radios

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
Umm, the problem is when the phone switches from 4g to 3g and then you lose the data connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
A lot of users of other 4.3 roms having this issue also.

♦ToroNex-Vanir
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aostrom:
Be careful not to be unduly impressed by more bars, there have been changed to the algorithm for displaying signal strength as bars over the different radio versions. I'd be much more focused on which radios hold a connection better in areas of marginal coverage. Just my $0.02...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
I've personally have had a much more better experience connection and stability wise which is why I mentioned switching back ,I've noticed perfect hand offs and faster speeds in more areas where I live
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Im aware of the signal differentials. I check my status in "about phone" as well as I do tests with the sleedtest app. I've always had excellent 4g in my city but now it stays where it should once again without being figity.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynbiosVyse:
Yes I'm starting to lose hope with 4.3. I've tried a variety of ROMs and radio combinations. I might go back to 4.2.2 until the 4.3 radio is released (if ever) or if someone else reports an actual fix related to this. Otherwise the user experience of 4.3 is far too terrible to continue.

Basically what everyone else has been talking about in this thread. 3G/4G handoff data connectivity issues mostly. Also if I go to airplane mode I can never get data back until I reboot.

What ROM and radio are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kaptinkrunk:
I've used believe carbon aokp and beanstalk with the 4.1.1 radio believe has the best radio connectivity, but i bounce between there working fine but the others have random drops to 3g in rooms where believe holds 4g but gotta test em all lmao

A few people asked me for 4.0.4-4.0.2/4.0.1(fa02-ek02 and fc02-e02--cdma-lte unsigned hybrid radio packs I zipped together. I uploaded them to this here box folder with their inbred albino md5s. I tested these on carbon 9-15,9-19 now, PRIMEMD04 bootloader, fancy pre43-01-bm and styr-vanir-0.7.5-bm, with no new bricks from the masonry department.

I usually use FA02s since testing has shown them to be best for me in every way. I'm in a super deadzone area where most of my signal probably comes from ionosphere reflection lol and latency ranges from 110-93dBm. I've had some really solid signal so far on fa02-ek02 combo.

I really haven't had any connections problems at all since the beginning of this month using carbon and vanir. I have that vzw bulls*** ****, the two system apks, removed along with it's permissions and framework. Right after a rom flash upgrade, I flash aromas super awesome recovery file explorer and strip out vzw APN service stuff as well as NFC, which is just a security risk. Freezing it or just removing the NFC apk doesn't disable it. There's still permissions for it, lib files, framework just in case anyone's interested.

* Definitely check the md5s on the radios. You might want to remove sim, boot phone, off, do a "*228+,,,2" for prl. ヅ

** Also make sure you know how to flash bootloaders using fastboot just in case before flashing firmware zips. Theres a link to a great nexus guide in the bottom of my signature. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynbiosVyse:
Galaxy Nexus on Verizon doesn't update PRL that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
I've had my Nexus since release day and have always had issues with my signal dropping out. The fact that I live in the boondocks doesn't help, but the connection was just so inconsistent no matter where I was. Last week I decided to give it one last go by replacing the SIM card and, voila, I've have almost no connection issues with my Nexus since the replacement. Look at the back of your SIM and make sure that the copper contacts don't have any grooves or scrapes. The Nexus SIM takes a lot of beating after all of the tinkering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
update your prl by pulling the SIM and rebooting.

Do you have a list of files that you removed to completely disable NFC? If not, don't worry about it. I'll make a nandroid and try to remove any mention of nfc found from a file system search to see if that does it.

I did a full wipe and reinstalled the radios for 4.1 as well as the latest cm and have not had a single issue with handoff since. If anything I get the dreaded radio death bug once in a while but 3g works great and 4g as well when I have signal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
No, that's the bug I speak of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Yeah that's what I've been trying recently. I started getting too many side effects since there are nfc/nxc requests and broadcasts from other s***. What I'd really like to do is figure out some more technical/electrical info on the nfc device. Then depending on the options available, I'll physically remove the coil from the battery if that's what it takes, but more likely short/open the circuit to disable or reroute circuit to change the function for electromagnetic charging.

For now though, I've changed my philosophy on android modification more towards permission fixing and process rank renicing. I found this link for android secuirty hardening the other day. Definitely has some useful stuff, but I would definitely have a recent nandroid backup before trying anything there. Also there are some typos in that post's code, so double check anything you use. I've been using this for NFC device/radio disabling:

#!/system/bin/sh

### Disable NFC
chmod 000 /dev/ttyO3

.

This can be added to init.d as is to execute on startup. You could also add this script as a cron.d scheduled task and make sure it stays disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ulnevrwalkalone:
Just a warning to anyone that is using pageplus or any other non verizon carrier. Flashing a new radio will make you lose your connection. I tried flashing the latest and first kernals from this thread and could not get connected, had to go back to the radio that I used when flashing to page plus. And even then I have not been able to get 3g back on, so it looks like I am going to have to do nuke it back to stock and start from scratch :(

Thanks for this post. I just finished downloading the radios from OP.

I recently upgraded from JRO03O radio's to the 4.2.2 radio's and I have to say that they are terrible.

Multiple times throughout the day I completely lose data and have to reboot my phone to get it back.

I'm considering rolling back to 4.1.1 radio's but I would like some input from others on what radio may be the most stable at holding a 4G connection with a poor SNR while still inside a major market. (My office is almost a faracage but while I was on 4.1.1 I could hold 4G all day long with no switching)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
I've tried them all and the best are the 4.2.2. But these are very subjective.
