Radio .54 seems to be giving me better reception. But a lot less data drop.
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
Okay so this is how out seems

.54 radio :

pros: better reception lower ping

cons: as it seems lower d and u speeds

.33 :

Pros: Higher D and U speeds

Cons: slightly worse reception, slightly higher ping, more data drop.

So I'm not sure where to go with here. I'm going to test more usage with the .54 radio.

First image is .33 radio check out the top 2 tests along with reception.

Second image .54 radio 1 more bar of reception. Top 3 tests are .54 radio
[Nexus 4 General] gharrrrrr:

Official doesn't always mean its better
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Plus the .27 is not universally better as can be made out from some posts in this comment. [ Probably better in US and other countries, I suppose] Hopefully the next update will have an even better radio :)
[Nexus 4 General] polobreaka:
True. Modems are location specifics. There is no 1 modem that will work for all. .27 works better for me doesnt mean it will work for someone in a different region of my country or another country.
[Nexus 4 General] tibere86:
Just flashed .27

Reception is definitely a lot better compared to .33. As for data speeds, I will need a few more days to test.

Hi! I'm from Finland and 0.27 seems to be much better than 0.33.. Flashed couple of hours ago..

Flashed 0.27 radio two nights ago and thus far have received far greater data speeds and none of those pesky grey dropped signals.
[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Lansing, MI .27 was a no go. It worked fine for phone calls but my data speed dropped by almost 50%. Using .27 download was 2500kb upload 550kb. Using .33 download was 4500kb upload was 450kb.

I have not really had problems with data drops on .33 but I wanted to give .27 a try based on the other reviews. I am on ST AT&T.

so I've had data issues since day 1 on my nexus 4. found this thread today when I thought time to see if any new baseband. no new ones, but tried .27 - and not once since I switched to that have I had data connection drop out, and speeds are fantastic. It used to be every time screen went off, then back on again, connection to data would drop and reconnect. no more!

[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
I was getting full mobile network drops on talkmobile UK (Vodafone Network) randomly I would pick up my phone an would have no signal and emergency calls only (.33), after a while or by toggling airplane it would come back. I flashed .27 and I haven't noticed it in 3 days and before I was noticing it at least once per day, so I think this version has deffo helped me. It kind of reminds me of the LG O2X, I tried probably 10 radios but the first ever radio was always the one that worked best for me.

[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Guys, remember that radios for phones like ours typically give different results for different people because there are so many factors involved (e.g. distance to cell towers, obstacles in the way, etc).

So everyone has to try for themselves - one person might find 54 is amazing, another that it's rubbish, another that it's the same as their previous radio, and so forth.

I'm on Straight Talk - T-Mobile. I was using .48, and just flashed .54. I took 5 speedtest of each modem. My results:

.48:

Ping - 44ms

Download - ~8.4mbps

Upload - ~2.44mbps

.54:

Ping - 78ms

Download - ~14.85mbps

Upload - ~1.95mbps

.48 had better ping and upload

.54 had nearly double the download and unfortunately nearly double the ping.

I've attached the speedtest. Appears to have the same reception quality. I flashed over .48 with .54 three times to ensure it was "properly" set.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Speeds and all that for the certain radios is gonna be diff for others cause where in diff locations the only way to find out which is best for u is to try them all or if someones in the same location as u cause it seems like people are going off what other pple are saying but there not in the same location it could be different
[Nexus 4 General] Scallywag1:
Yea i wound up trying it. Not on fast apn but regular and it was worse for me. Made my phone hot as _____ and was emergency calls only. No big deal. Any way, back to 48 for time being. I'll try again next fresh install.

Went back installing .48. Now sleeps fine again with > 90% deep sleep.

My speed test on .33 with LTE enabled, what you guys think?
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Sorry, this may sound silly for most of you but I'm curious about something and I couldn't find any info here about it. Do radios have something to do with the device speaker? I'm asking this because I just flashed .54 and I swear my phone sounds louder now, and clearer. It's the only thing I did and I noticed it inmediately.
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Directly, I would say no, there's no direct connection. However, if you are streaming music and you get better reception because of the new radio, that might result to better sounds overall. Not sure though. Feel free to correct me. :)
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
Now haven't tested it yet but I will flash it after I post this reply. I'll see how thing go after a day of use tomorrow. Make that a couple days of use.
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
Uhhhh. BTW can you or anyone tell me why my signal bars don't turn blue because it's to show me that it's connected to Google severs right? I just flashed .27 and it never turns blue so now I can't tell whether it's dropping data or it's connected. I tested with some high data apps to check of it worked and yes it does, like YouTube and speed test. But I just don't know why it doesn't turn blue

Speeds are okay I guess. Some of those pings are ridiculous. And the second photo is while testing but no blue bars. Even though its running the test.

Edit: after a reboot the signals turned blue. So far I'm liking this radio. Loads things a lot faster:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] gharrrrrr:
Some of those pings are heinous. Idk but for me I've always had better signals and speeds on .27 with T-Mobile US. I tried .54 and had constant signal loss and connection issues. Higher speeds when it did connect well though. For icons not being blue just clearing Google services app data and a reboot always worked fine for me.

Appreciate you testing it out and posting results.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using a flounder.
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
Yeah but then again I don't expect very great pings. At least in my room. I'll see how data out of my house goes for the most part it's fairly fast but I'll do some testing out in the open tomorrow as for the most part I get full bars every where I go.
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
So I was running some last testing before I head off to bed. Turns or that those "city"(use the accent from the Asian guy that work at city wok from south park) pings were horrible server choosing.

If you look at the first picture. Its says that the server is located somewhere in Wellington, KS. That's 2 states to the west from me. I redid another test. Got the same horrible ping. Closed the app and reopened it. Retried tests the server ended up being in

Arlington Heights , IL which is only a couple towns away and then the ping got wayyy bette. I do want to say that .27 seems like a wayy better radio but I want to see how it varies outside of home. Will see how things go tommorow.

Tested 54 radio all day on my usual places and its a huge upgrade from 27, 33 and 48. I always had data stall problem on my phone. Changed SIM, network and tried other methods of factory image install thingy but never got over it. Really was frustrating experience and almost gave hope until today. Never knew we got another rev of radio and what a relief when data transmission working without any fault. Don't really bother with battery life as never even managed to get half of what others are posting here with on screen times.

[Nexus 4 General] evonc:
The phone switches to 3G when there is no active data transfer so it can save battery life since 3G has enough bandwidth and speed to provide notifications (push/gcm). Once your phone starts an actual data transmission (ex. Browsing), the phone switches to HSPA so you get better speed and bandwidth.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Switching to 3G only seems to happen on certain networks in certain places. I believe its to do with fast dormancy. For example, I'm on 3 in the UK, at my house, I idle at H (HSPA:10) but a 10 minute walk into town, closer to the mast, I idle at 3G (UMTS:3)

[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
I could be mistaken, but what you typed in probably wouldn't do anything. Just flash it using the right command and reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] michel9501:
but it did flash something for the wrong command, as you see here
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Based on that, I would guess that "modem" and "radio" would be interchangable then when using the "fastboot flash" command. The partition on the N4 is called "modem" so that may be why. Interesting.
[Nexus 4 General] michel9501:
and if for example I wanted to make sure that I didn't created a new partitions or something crazy, what is the correct proccess of erasing modem and flashing radio ?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
My guess is that that command does exactly the same thing as flash radio one.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
I would leave it as is. As undercover said, the two commands likely do the exact same thing, so your device is fine. (Generally speaking, it's not really a good idea to be erasing radio or bootloader partitions.)
[Nexus 4 General] caliban2:
What they said.

And if you really really make sure everything is flashed back to stock, download a factory image from Google. It contains everything.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Actually, a factory image from Google doesn't contain everything. It only includes 6 images (modem, boot, system, userdata, bootloader and recovery). There are around 15 or so other partitions on the N4 for which a Google factory image does not contain images. But you are right: in most cases, a factory image would put you were you need to be.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Some of them get filled by Google images. Radio takes a few iirc, IMEI, other codes. The rest gets filled by OS.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
For anyone that's interested, these are all the partitions, along with what I know of them:

userdata <-- userdata

m9kefs2 <-- contains device-specific info. There is no image that writes to this. (You'll need to back it up yourself if you plan on messing around.)

m9kefs3 <-- contains device-specific info. There is no image that writes to this. (You'll need to back it up yourself if you plan on messing around.)

Just wondering if anyone on this thread has a white nexus 4? Because there is a slim chance that it could have a newer baseband version :) (it's highly unlikely but you never know)
[Nexus 4 General] TheManii:
.54 IS the newer baseband, it was tied to JDQ39E

White N4's happen to have it just by the fact they're newer, black ones manufactured at the same time should also have JDQ39E installed and thus also have .54.

You cant predict if you get a newly manufatured black N4 or one from back stock, so it's much more reliable to find JDQ39E on a white one.
