Just a heads up - the leaked build (JWR66N) of 4.3 was also leaked for the Galaxy S4 Google Edition a while ago. Today, another version of 4.3 leaked for the S4, with a build number of JWR66V and a build date of July 11. This makes me think that JWR66N might not be the final 4.3 version which we'll possibly get next week. If that's true, the OTA update zips will probably be JDQ39-to-newbuild and JDQ39E-to-newbuild, those with JWR66N will have to flash a full 4.3 rom or go back to 4.2.2 and flash a new OTA to the 'official' 4.3.

This might also mean we'll get a new radio yet again.

Again, this is just speculation based on the fact that a newer 4.3 leaked for Samsung's Google Edition with a newer build date and newer build number.

ril was explained several times today

Radio Interface Library

its a layer in between the rom and the radio

like a bridge
[Nexus 4 General] occtec:
Thank you :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] DontPushButtons:
The baseband is the firmware for the radio chip. This firmware is interfaced by the OS using the RIL (Radio Interface Layer), so the RIL translates the requests by the OS to commands the baseband can understand.

When you flash the baseband you change the firmware for the chip. For everything to work, you need the matching RIL in your ROM. If RIL and baseband don't match, malfunctions such as missing signal etc can occur.

Yay Google (courtesy of modaco forums)
[Nexus 4 General] occtec:
So if I flash the latest radio .83 can I use get.ril app to update ril? Or do you have another suggestion?
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
This is a good explanation and 100% correct.

This is not really true. osm0sis did some work on comparing RILs for the Gnex (see his sig). Have a read. Generally, there is no real need to flash a RIL. Probably best to have your RIL match the ROM, not the radio.

Yup, radio .48 breaks auto-rotate and auto-brightness. Could be the radio requiring the kernel changes in Android 4.2.2 or the way that efrant extracted the radio broke these two functions somehow...

Maybe waiting for the radio in the factory image would be better to try on the new radio...

Weird indeed.

I flashed the full 4.2.2 update, and I'm not experiencing any issues.

There are two possible explanations that I can think of:

1) There was something wrong with the radio image. (I dumped it myself from my device, but you never know, something may have messed up); or

2) The 0.48 radio requires something in in 4.2.2 and won't work in 4.2.1 and earlier.

I'll try re-dumping the radio tomorrow, and I'll also try flashing the one I posted to my device. If it works fine, then it must be a compatibility issue with 0.48 and 4.2.1

Thanks for reporting back guys.

Thank you for keeping this :D stay alive LTE band 4
[Nexus 4 General] cb474:
It seems like in this thread people are reporting a lot of problems with the new radio, but are there any known advantages?

Also, given the analysis at AnandTech, of how the new radio disables LTE (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6745/nexus-4-jdq39-422-ota-update-removes-unofficial-lte-on-band-4) is it possible that this was in fact the only purpose of Google issuing the new radio (to eliminate LTE support in a phone which had not been approved for this by the FCC)?
[Nexus 4 General] zephiK:
Advantages would be improved signal etc. You just have to test it to see if it improved. Personally I don't use lte so it didn't matter to me but the auto rotation does
[Nexus 4 General] cb474:
Yeah, I guess from my experience with radios on the Nexus One, people had a lot of different subjective opinions about signal and download speeds being better with this or that radio, but it often seemed to have not much basis in objective measures. More just an expression of the mindset wherein, if it's shiny and new, it must be better. Like when I change the oil on my car and then afterwards feel like its faster and smoother and sleeker, even though that makes no sense.

So that's why I'm wondering if anyone knows specifically of actual changes in the code for the radio meant to address this or that functionality. Otherwise, it remains entirely plausible to me that the entire purpose of this radio is to disable LTE.

Is there a separate file (flashable or otherwise) for the updated bootloader?

Lte drains slower than hspa+ and doesn't seem to run as hot either. If you can complete a data transfer quicker, then the wake lock(msm or something like that) doesn't grow as much. So, the radio returns to idle state quicker on lte.

Unless the lte signal is weak. I've seen temps of over 45c (battery) with high lte usage. Hspa with the weak signal doesn't seem to drain/heat up fast, granted hspa is slower with the weak signal.

That being said, people like to flash stuff, so if you fell like flashing a new RIL, flash it.
