Success, got LTE working on Mako running Pure Nexus, latest MM build. Achieved by flashing the LTE Enabler zip and eliminating duplicate files in the build.prop file in system folder. My SILLY hope was that the LTE would provide a signal inside my office, similar to the VOLTE on my Nexus 6.

Data mobile auto reconnection failure

I have the same issue of 3G connection when wifi signal drops since Android 5.1. I was on stock ROM, with stock locked bootloader (and stock radio 1.07). After six months without official fix for this issue, I decided to try a radio flash to test the version 1.05. So I unlocked bootloader and flashed the radio to version v1.05, staying on official ROM Android 5.1.1 (LMY48T). But the issue is still here for me :(

Have you any idea to fix this annoying issue ? Is there any chance that a Android 6 ROM flash (Chroma or CM13) can fix it ?

Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] raulma01:
Yes, Chroma fix it for me.

this is the topic (click), can anyone help us? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] shotta35:
How about not using it? It's not like anyone is forcing you to use it. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] sorcio91:
because 0.48 consume less battery than 0.33, so i'm asking if ther is a solution to improve the signal reception of 0.48...

i'm mad? :confused: :D:D
[Nexus 4 General] scream4cheese:
There's no way you improve the signal reception. If the carriers improve cell coverage, that'll be the day you'll see improvement.

Hi I am new to nexus phones and the modem naming convention - are the numbers referred to in post 1 the final three digits in the baseband?
[Nexus 4 General] sorcio91:
wow!

so the only solution is to install 4.2.2 and 0.33 radio and the correct RIL with the app getril?

I'm not sure yet. I'm going to do that later today and see. I don't have signal issues but instead i have data issues with .48.

Hi All

I'm totally new in Android world and I love it :)

I have nexus 4 ver 4.2.1 and I want to use LTE :) If my phone get upgraded to ver 4.2.2 i will loose ability to use LTE should I just replace radio with ver 0.33 ?

like I said totally new so don't get mad for stupid question :)
[Nexus 4 General] 4nth0ny:
Yes this is correct
[Nexus 4 General] DizzC:
.48 was working terrible for me. Can't really comment on battery life but my data signal went straight to hell. Had lots of data drops on .33 but nothing near as bad as .48. Reverting back to .33 now. I'm on telus in alberta btw.

[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
Nope. I'm stock 4.2.2 with just unlocked bootloader and CMW. .27 and .33 breaks in call audio. Tried the actual phone.apk and Groove IP and they both will connect the call, I just can't hear anything. Flashed .48 and it works again.

[Nexus 4 General] Redneck Trash:
.27, .33 and .48 all worked for me and 4.2.2 on T-Mobile. Radios are very subjective. What works or doesn't will vary from one device to the other. Whichever works for you is the one to use. Frankly if everything was working before there's really no reason to use a different radio unless you're just curious.

Chroma MM fixed it for me as well. Before that I had a script which would automatically toggle airplane mode when WiFi got disconnected. No idea where I got it from.

Mako Modem Links

Hi [MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION]. It looks like the modem repository links no longer work (or mostly don't work). Is there a new location where I could obtain the files?
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
[MENTION=2714876]bombadier[/MENTION] was providing the hosting, so he may have some info about his download link. (I used to have them hosted on DevHost until they started distributing malware through their ads.)

If Bombadier doesn't have them anymore, I'll see if I can did them up and rehost somewhere else. Is there a specific one you are looking for? Many of them are found in the factory images.
[Nexus 4 General] bombadier:
Try this one

Looks like I may have to find another provider as you may need the mega app because of encryption, have created a link with key so let me know if it's working again.
[Nexus 4 General] witnit:
Many thanks. I was looking to try them all, to see if I could improve my cell reception in any small way. I wasn't sure if my N4 was particularly bad antenna-wise, or if a different radio would help, or if it's just an issue in general.

Apologies for not realizing I could take a look at the factory images. Though I've been reading these forums for a good while before posting, I hadn't thought of trying to obtain those images and ripping the radios out myself. Still new at this.

There's no custom radio ever for any Android Phone
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
The only thing we can change is some of the firmware files which you can see in firmware/image
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Never say never. Back in the days of the Nexus One, someone managed to disassemble the stock bootloader for that device (I have no idea how he managed to do that, but he did), and all of a sudden we had custom bootloaders for the N1. It could be possible (however unlikely) that someone could disassemble radios as well. Not sure who would have the time or patience for that though! :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Rico84:
Wouldn't that just be a waste of time? What benefits would you get from having a custom radio?
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
I have no idea what kind of code is stored in there. (It may be a waste, or it may not be.) Having the ability to force specific bands? Having the ability to control the Tx power? Etc.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
For me .27 give me the best voice clarity and data speeds even on 4.2.2 rom. I've updated my bootloader but I'm sticking with .27

Also I wonder if each radio performs better based on your location. Not sure if this applies to Nexus(carrier unlocked) devices but I know for my AT&T GS2 certain radios worked better depending on your location. We even had a thread with google maps location of where users were getting good results for a particular baseband. It was a great resource. I'm currently looking into something similar for the N4, if it applies.
[Nexus 4 General] selectah:
Cool, I'm jealous.I was asking because I've read that there's an amplifier missing or something in the N4. And without that you can't keep up connections oder signal strength is weak etc. So this is not true?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Yeah, i remember that. In fact i'm using HTC Desire atm which has custom hboot. No true s-off though. Hboot was used for partitioning of data and system, since some roms were a lot smaller than sense so you could have more space for apps without messing around with a2sd+. Now it's kinda pointless. With radios though, i don't think anything can be done without source, and the aren't many people around on xda that understand ins and outs of it. Too much hassle going through it i guess, to only get newer radio that you need to hack few months later.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
What we need is someone who is a whiz using IDA-Pro in order to disassemble the radio image, just like rolle3k did here with the N1 bootloader. Too easy... :D
[Nexus 4 General] zivan56:
The radio images are signed by Qualcomm. You would need to find some exploit for their signature check in the radio baseband processor in order to get any custom code to load.
[Nexus 4 General] Flippy125:
Looking into custom radio development would make more sense if we knew how the Nexus 4 reacted if you flashed a corrupted radio. HTC devices used to just brick (not sure now). Galaxy Nexus you could just reflash. If there is someone out there willing to possible brick a device for science, flashing an Optimus G radio would be a start
[Nexus 4 General] zivan56:
I did do that. Cell radio does not work, wifi can only do scans, and rotation is all backwards. Since the radio is not part of the SoC, it has its own bootloader, etc...so you can always reach a point where it allows you to write the radio again to the same flash memory partition.
[Nexus 4 General] Neubi:
has somebody else made experiences with 4.2.2 and the .48 radio (compared to other radios)?

Odp: [REF] [RADIO] Mako modem collection

I can only say that data didn't work for me at first time - I've extracted radio from factory image and flashed again - all working now - sensors, rotation, wifi and data on PA from 19th Feb.

But 48 is much slower on HSDPA - 2mbit compared to 6 on 33.

[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Indeed. But the bootloader on the N1 was also signed, and dla5244 found an exploit to get it to load.

It does not brick.

There are a few users that managed to do it an get the OG radios to work, but it requires kernel patches.

OK I know him. Why would you guys want to use our modems though?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Why do you want to use OUR modems? :p I know I know, joking.

Curiosity and seeing if it worked better.

Re disassembling radio, main thing I meant was to UNDERSTAND what the code is and does. Not very likely. I mean there are loads of smart people that could learn it, but there is no reason for it really.

On HTC i don't think it checked for signatures if you were s-off. s-off is a complete unlock. I guess you could flash bootloader instead of radio and it would eat it.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Just to say we can ;) No other reason really.

The N1 bootloader was signed. We needed an exploit to flash an unsigned one.

And there was (and is) no way to get S-OFF on the N1 without a special SIM (or emulator like an XTC clip). At least none has been found to date.
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Just curious if there were any benefits. For example, I ported the nexus s 4g modems to my epic 4g which let us use aosp telephony framework, which made getting sense working a piece of cake since I didn't have to hack in Samsung ril. It also let us update prl and profile (CDMA update stuff). It also made network performance better for many users.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Yeah, I don't really know if there are any benefits. Maybe possible better/worse performance, i.e., throughput/ping depending on the radio?
[Nexus 4 General] tyraelasd:
Hello,

I recently updated my device with the latest xylon rom 4.2.2 and franco´s latest kernel ( for 4.2.2 ). Im perfectly fine with that, no problems on data or signal whatsoever, but I wonder if flashing a new radio ( .48 ) will have some good impact on my battery life wich hasn't been that good tbh.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 4 General] scribbles92:
Wow, this isn't quite as simple as it was when I had the S2 (Hercules) where we had about 6 or 7 radios to choose from over 3 different devices... including the one most people ended up using because it was stupid fast, including myself which was the original Note radio from T-Mo (UVLG3).
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Yes. That's why i said Radio s-off, which we didn't have (Desire). Those days were fun. :)

S-OFF is a beauty but also a danger in the fools hands (but isn't everything?). Sensation had full s-off, you can do whatever you want with this thing :) mmmmmmm.
[Nexus 4 General] houstonn:
Typically you can run LG Optimus G modems.. You will however loose your radio totally (we can fix that read further)... You may possibly brick your radio as well if you flash the wrong region. I have att, rogers, bell, telus , Asian , Europe modem imgs of all the optimus g.

The mako radios have all regions in them so typically they are region free. However if someone wanted to use one of the Optimus G modems I can build a kernel base on either Stock aosp mako or faux's stockenhanced with changes that will allow radio to work.. (only changes I would make)

Another matter is that if you do use an optimus g modem, you will loose GPS and you will loose WIFI, for now I can also fix the wifi issue but I haven't gotten around to working out the gps fix yet.. I can also but haven't tried or test yet, - make a totally new mako modem with just lg optimus radio firmware therefore retaining gps and wifi.. I don't own a N4 so my research and development is limited.. I am interested in obtaining an N4 not for personal use just for development wise.. Optimus G was released with ICS and JB 4.1.2 is not released yet in North America and I have ported JB to work for All LGOG variants .. I know a lot of N4 don't care for stock (touchwiz like) but I think I can be able to port stock lg jb for N4 too. I just don't have the device to further research. it could be meaningless since you all buy an n4 to use aosp not TW.

Also: about the .27 modem working better for some ppl is because it's a factory built mako internally not released to public. They could of been using it to test internally even pertaining to LTE or other things who knows.. I know that mako and the Canadian optimus G share very very similar boards and hardware.. I was able to use LTE still on mako modem but the signal was weaker. But since I'm the first try the mako radio firmware on optimus g it further discovered us what we need to have wifi on our aosp builds..
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
TBH (and sorry efrant for hijacking the thread, hope you don't mind), I'd be A LOT more interested in trying ICS being ported from GNEX. To me JB feels more like Honeycomb, ie half arsed attempt to test project butter and to prepare the grounds for next release. I'm for some reason confident it would be almost as smooth and would have a lot better battery life.
[Nexus 4 General] dhollis72:
I have a GNEX and battery life got better with jellybean. I like everything better about jellybean except the lock screen. On to something else now. I just got my nexus 4 and my WiFi was disconnecting a lot. My GNEX and nexus 7 WiFi work great. I did the OTA update to 4.2.2 then rooted it and installed CM 10.1. All devices running same version of CM 10.1(nightly 22) and GNEX has updated radio. I flashed radio .33 on nexus 4 and WiFi started acting right. I messed with my router settings some then reflashed .48 and seems to be fixed. Anyone else experience this?

[Nexus 4 General] jsylvia007:
From what I've been reading the N4 and LGOG have the EXACT same radio hardware. Does this mean that with an LGOG radio we might be able to access additional LTE Bands on the N4, or is there actually a hardware difference preventing this?

Does anyone have an LGOG radio thats CWM flashable? I can try it...
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
There are hardware differences (i.e., missing amps/antenna) between the N4 and OG.

And to use an OG radio, you need some kernel patches. See here.
[Nexus 4 General] jsylvia007:
Much appreciated! I figured that was going to be the case... Looks like no LTE on my N4 here in Providence... I just sold my LGOG on eBay, and I don't really miss LTE, but it would be nice to have that speed back. C'est la vie.

Did you read the post above? I have already mentioned a few times that the 0.33 radio works just fine on stock 4.2.2 on Rogers (and by extension, I would assume Fido, given it is the same network). There is no functionality lost by going from the 0.48 to the 0.33 radio on Rogers.
[Nexus 4 General] dispatch:
2 questions:

1. Did you have data drops with your N4 in any other configuration

2. Really, you have no data drops with 4.2.2 / .33?

edit: ah, I see you're on Rogers. Perhaps the US conglomerates are just that much worse in terms of interoperability
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Sorry if you mean it's doing it randomly when using data, which is obviously a fault, but if it switches from H to 3G a few seconds after data transfer has finished and back to H the next time you use it, that's how it's supposed to work. Maintaining an HSPA data connection is battery intensive, so most phones on a supported network will do this, it's called Fast Dormancy.
