Tried ColorOS's latest modem, can't see any significant improvement, or even a difference. Guess I just don't need it.
[ONE General] zephiK:
I'm using that radio and it works good. It's the same radio in m11 and the nightlies as well.
[ONE General] shuweee:
Hi zephik

Where your at? Wondering because I'm in Canada but the stock radio is really bad and I get 1 bar of signal or 2 at the most. Thanks

[ONE General] oxxshadow:
Me too. I am on Virgin Mobile Canada and ny signal is just like yours. My phone cannky hold a good LTE and gsm signal. Tried setting the phone to GSM/LTE auto but nithing. I am pretty sure its a haedware problem. You are better off returning it.
[ONE General] zephiK:
I'm in new York City. Try other radios. Set preferred network to lte GSM auto. Did your other phones give you 1-2 bars as well?
[ONE General] oxxshadow:
I am almost certain that this is a hardware problem My One Plus One had very bad signal, even with trying the CM11 nightly radio. I set the preferred network is GSM/LTE auto but still, nothing worked. I could barely hold 1 bar of signal in my own home, whereas my Galaxy S4 usually had about 3. I then switched the preferred network to GSM only (3G) and the reception was great. But we should not have to do this, seeing as it costed my LTE. The thing is, the LTE radio in the One is probably weak. When in GSM/LTE auto mode, service was bad even when data was turned off. So its not just data, but general voice calls and text messages.
[ONE General] Hexxer:
FYI: German OPO with Latest Update, root+TWRP. Flashing this OPO Find7 Modem bring my OPO to a bootloop. It come up to type your pin. Nether if you do this or if you wait, 5-7seconds later it reboot. Try that 5 times (flashed via TWRP). Flashing the original or color-modem ist works instant without reboots.
[ONE General] zmanfarlee:
DO I have to be rooted to flash one of these radios? I have mobile iron so my life kinda stinks....

I would think maybe I don't need to I could just boot into recovery because it's approved but I am not sure. Any thoughts?
[ONE General] zephiK:
You don't need to be rooted but you need a custom recovery with a unlocked bootloader to change the modems.
[ONE General] Hzu:
Or you can flash it through fastboot too.

Thanks for the quick Straight answer
[ONE General] Dima_2005:
Had great results with latest ColorOS modem. Went from 18% without signal to 2% without signal with the same regular day. I noticed that the phone lost signal much less on the train, compared to 33R modem.

[ONE General] tofuboi01:
I'm on CM11S 38R with ak kernel.

I flashed the ColorOS radio and it gave me baseband of: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c7-00020-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.

reflashed the 33R radio and it gave me the same baseband number under settings...does this mean they are the same or it didn't actually flash?

edit - nevermind, i read the OP again and it states it is listed the same but is actually different under the hood.
[ONE General] TecQuality:
no, 33R isnt the same as the ColorOS ...
[ONE General] zephiK:
No I did not. I just said that there is no modem included in the XNPH38R OTA zip but we aren't sure until the fastboot images are available.

Thanks for mentioning this, I've been super busy. I've just took a look into XNPH38R factory images and there is a new radio included which is weird because a modem was not included in the OTA zip unless it was that particular OTA zip that I downloaded even though it should be the original.

The MD5 for XNPH38R radio (in the fastboot images) is 549627494A1C89F669008A4BD96BC895 so its unique from all of the other radios. It should be the newest one for the OPO.

I've updated the OP with the link. I'm personally going to give this a try :)

[ONE General] LookedPath:
Excuse me, which factory image have you used to check that? I've used the one provided here and I've checked myself the md5 but it's equal to 33R one.
[ONE General] Vonnegut:
They are the same indeed.

Dunno why Zephik says that MD5 is different from the MD5 of 33R modem.

I have both the originals fastboot zips...

Moreover, they didn't update the modem with the latest OTA (or any other partition but the boot and the system).
[ONE General] zephiK:
Hm... Maybe I have a incorrect md5 of the fastboot zip. What is the md5 you have? As cm didn't officially post 38r fastboot. So I don't have the md5 to reference to. My 33r fastboot zip matches with the one on the Web page
[ONE General] Vonnegut:

The official 38R fastboot zip is here http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
[ONE General] zephiK:
Yeah I know thats the zip. You're right, I was comparing the nightlies' radio with the 38R and saw that they were different without looking at the 33R radio. Weird that the CM11 nightlies radio wasn't used and that they decided to use the pre-existing OTA radio.

My apologies.
[ONE General] marvelspires:
Hello friends, I need help. I updated my phone to 38r full wipe and it's perfect. Fast, the 3G signal gets stronger over time, but the phone does not get 4G. In places that always got 4G now only gets 3G. I do not know what else to do. Does installing the radio 33r solve the problem?
[ONE General] big_kitch:
I have the same question. Does anyone know the answer to this?
[ONE General] konrad496:
Did you have LTE signal using other devices where you are? You might be simply out of range. I am in LTE range, it works great when hotspoting but freezes when gaming online. That's why I very often use LTE switch off button. After switching LTE of network type H kicks off with very good signal (4 bars) and shortly after it suddenly drops to minimum. However, when I switch LTE back on and off, network type H will kick off again with very good signal reception, unfortunately not for long. The process has to be permanently repeated in order to maintain good quality signal type H.
[ONE General] skymera:
Did you get 4G reception before the update to 38R?

OPO does not support 4G Band 20.

Check if you carrier uses this, if it does then you will never get 4G with your OPO.

You cant, your antena inside the telephone supports certain bands, as listed in the specs of the device in the 4G\LTE, and if your mobile carrier supports these bands, you can use LTE.

Are people in the UK finding any particular modem is better than another? Tried a few myself and no noticeable differences
[ONE General] osmosizzz:
It would be awesome if one plus worked with carriers to. Provide radios to be carrier specific. Day you insert a simple card from att, the phone will say, optimizing phone for your carrier, phone reboots into stock recovery and flashes the modem of carrier that the sim card registered. That would be awesome for sure. It's hard making a phone work well with carriers. That's why when tech reviewers get a new phone from Korea, say the note 4, they complain about battery life and signal coming and dropping sporadically

38R Radio

Hi,

this is the radio included in the latest fastboot flashable factory image. It works much better for me that any of the others. It may be that the rest of the factory image also results in improvements, but I have flashed this on 33r and the signal seems much better. It could also be that just reflashing loses some of the baggage that comes with an OTA update. If you prefer to extract it yourself go to cyanogenmod site and download the cm11s 38R factory image. This is the same file.

Boot.img has nothing to do with your signal. It might only improve your WiFi, but mobile signal/data is untouched .

[ONE General] fards:
Technically that's not correct orangerot, the kernel does have some ril related bits, (power etc) which could affect signal.

But in this case your meaning is perfectly correct as the kernel is identical and the file size difference appears to be down to flashing methods :)
[ONE General] zaphodbeeb:
Hi,

Boot.IMG is a different size. Can't see what this has to do with flashing method. They are both flashed by fastboot flash in the script/method, so what's the difference in size for? Your point about boot making a difference is correct. I am pretty sure this s why reflashing factory 38R worked for me.

The kernel is identical. The boot IMG is packed differently

He's right...sometime img file are packed and can only be flashed in fastboot mode.

Do NOT flash that .zip...unless you have a full backup of all of your partitions.

That .zip is made by someone called Daodao...that's a chinese name.

The modem inside the zip is different from all of the other modems...but it certainly isn't the official 38R modem because CM didn't release any new modem after 33R.

So that might be a ColorOS modem...and i believe that 'cause the guy is chinese and the zip flashes also the oppostanvbk, the reserve4 and the bootloader...along with the modem.

Mind this...if you don't have a backup of the oppostanvbk and the reserve4, you won't be able to restore'em.

In my 4-ish days using it... my personal experience has been this:

Signal indicator implies less connection strength (don't get me wrong, I've not over-valuing the graphical validity), but the connection seems more stable.

For example... at an intersection where I would quickly go from 4 LTE bars to 0 bars or switch to HSPA, I now have a solid 2-3 bars without issue.

The 44S comes with a new modem and flashes/updates a few partitions too (namely the sbl1, rpm and the oppostanvbk partition). I'm not surprised the find7 modem doesn't work anymore....

So I went back into Reocvery, flashed my SuperSU zip that's always on my sd/card, rebooted, and still didn't see SuperSU icon, so I go to the PlayStore and installed the SuperSU app, it says insta;;ed, but I don't see the app anywhere ?

So I installed "Root Checker" it checks if my phone still has root, is say yes, and SuperSU icon appeared in there asking for permission.

So does SuperSU just sit in the background ? No app in the app rawer for SuperSU ?

[ONE General] Malobestino:
Just to share my situation in Italy, Milan with Vodafone.

I received my device four days ago and immediately updated to the latest firmware (38S at that time).

I noticed that the signal reception of my device was quite poor especially inside buildings or in the underground. The device was continually and slowly changing from 3g to H+ (i don't have LTE ).

I tried flashing a couple of different modems and found that the ColorOS was the most suitable for me: even if it was still switching constantly between 3g and H+, remaining most of the times on 3g the connection was fairly fast (as fast as a 3g connection can be) and the device could be used to navigate in internet without too much hassle.

Today I flashed the latest update 44S through recovery and I noticed that the signal was more stable. No more switching and the device stays on H+ most of the times.

Unfortunately it seems to be totally unusable inside the buildings. Inside my house I'm getting a download speed between 0.06 and 0.90 Mbps, whereas as soon as I lean outside the window I can get 6 Mbps, up until to 18 Mbps if I'm in direct sight of the antenna.

I tried to flash back the color OS modem, but I cannot connect to 3g.

I don't know if I made any mistakes of something changed with the last firmware update, but the data connection inside my house is totally unusable.

Setting the preferred connection to 3g the phone stays on E and even if I go outside on the balcony it just stays there and it's unable to connect to 3g. If I try to set the preferred connection to LTE it cannot even connect to the network.

For the moment I flashed back the 44S modem. Hopefully someone can help to find a fix to this issue
