I'm in a strong UMTS area, and I have to say the 1.18 radio is by far the worst battery performance I have seen on my device to date. The 1.20 radio was by far the best... hope to get back there soon!

Update: I've returned to the 1.18 TyTN ROM, applied the SuperCID unlocker successfully (which apparently did not stick the last time I tried), and I'm now reapplying 1.35 update. Next steps will be to try 1.20 radio update directly, and then again after a bootloader downgrade...

Hoping for the best!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] barrydavisjr:
I have successfully done what you are looking to do. If you review the post that says downgrading any 1.06 bootloader to 1.04 and follow the instructions you will be able to downgrade just your bootloader and thus be able to upgrade radio only.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] goestoeleven:
Success!!!

It wasn't easy, and it sure took a lot of cycles, but here's how I got my TyTN to the 1.20 radio rom and the SA TyTN 1.35 system rom:

- ran the bootloader downgrade utility and got back to BL 1.04

- ran the stock TyTN 1.18 ROM update

- ran pof's SIM unlocker to restore SuperCID status

- ran the TyTN 1.35 ROM update

- ran the bootloader downgrade utility and got back to BL 1.04

- ran the 1.20 radio-only update

And I'm back in business!

Now, let's see if I see the hoped-for improvements in the battery...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkjedi:
I had HORRIBLE battery life with the 1.20 radio rom, so I'm hoping the 1.35 will offer better battery life.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] goestoeleven:
Maybe it's a function of where you live / how strong your UMTS signal is, because 1.20 has been the hands-down best for me...

And after an initial 18 hours, it appears that being back on 1.20 radio with 1.35 ROM has solved my battery problem again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BryanPDavis:
I'm actually having issues.

I have a Cingular 8525

I started with the :

1.34.502.1 09/21/06 ?? 1.16.00.00 32.53.7018.01H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.06

I down graded to:

1.30.502.1 08/21/06 ?? 1.11.00.00 32.47.7018.00H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.04

Unlocked, Made SuperCID, Verified it with mtty.

Then I upgraded to the:

1.35.255.2 11/14/06 1.35.255.102 1.18.00.10 32.55.7018.01H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.09

I want to do the same, upgrade my radio to 1.20.31.10

but the radio only rom won't run. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@BryanPDavis: You need bootloader 1.04 to flash a radio rom, HTC 1.35 rom has bootloader 1.09, so you need to downgrade your bootloader.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BryanPDavis:
huh, I guess I was doing something wrong, after many attempts, it finally downgraded my bootloader. Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I tried doing exactly that over and over again with no luck. Working now tho, thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintcme187:
hi guys, for some reason my text notifications stopped working. i get no sound nor an icon on the status bar. checked all the settings and everything is setup right. is there anything else i can do besides factory resetting? phone is unrooted btw. thanks everyone.
[Sprint LG G2] jburke90:
Ok, so I was finally able to ROOT my LS980 using IOROOT. I then succeeded in flashing TWRP. So I thought, "Time to pick a ROM". So I went with D3RPs SuperG2 ROM (not the bareback). I saved the .zip to my downloads folder on the internal sdcard. I followed the instructions and wiped everything, and I think that's where everything went wrong. When I went to install the .zip, it wasn't there. That means it got wiped. So I tried going into download mode so I could use FlashTool and go back to all stock. BUT I can't boot into that either. The ONLY thing I can do is boot in TWRP, or sit at a nice bootloop. On top of that I failed to make a backup, so I literally have nothing to boot from... With the LG G2 not having an external sdcard, I'm completely lost.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. :eek:
[Sprint LG G2] jburke90:
Ok, so I figured it out. Didn't realize I could go into download mode by holding Vol+ while plugging in via USB. I can wipe the sweat from my brow now!
[Sprint LG G2] jcwxguy:
Glad you made it to download mode, another thing you could have done is gone to the options in twrp and done a sideload of the rom then flash that.

when you wipe everything, it means everything EXCEPT internal. :)
[Samsung Gear 2] Monty Burns:
Hi Guys,

I want to turn off phone audio on my watch so that it and my Sena Bluetooth don't argue with each other - pairing "through" the watch doesn't resolve it either. Problem is, if I turn off Phone Audio in Bluetooth settings on my S5, it disconnects the watch entirely. Any way to turn off phone audio and still keep notifications and apps connection?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
Have you tried the notification settings in gear manager. Or gear turning them off. Limiting . Relaying etc
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
I don't have any conflict with my Gear 2 and Plantronics Voyager Pro. Whichever one I initiate or answer a call with doesn't affect the other. Did you happen to pair your headset with your watch? If so, that might be the problem. Mine are only paired to my phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] Monty Burns:
Thanks guys!

I stumbled across the answer. It turns out that I had to remove the pairing with my Sena and then repair (after the watch). The Sena appears to now have full phone audio.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shadolis:
How possible would it be to integrate pre 4.2 bluetooth stack (bluez) to allow direct API access to the L2CAP layer? If not, anyone know of anything that can route input over WiFi? (Hopefully it doesn't have to come to that). Surely there is something that can be done. Wiimotes are just so convenient for mobile gaming on Android. I'm surprised a fix hasn't been released yet.

Background

This is a list of radios for the OnePlus One (bacon). With the new OTA release, some people may have better signals with the old radio or want to tinker with the new one so here is a list that will be updated to allow users to switch to their preferred radio/modem.

Radios are independent of Android version, use the radio that provides you the best signal. It varies from user to user, there is no best radio/modem Why? Different carriers, different locations, and more. There are so many factors that play into cellular signal so just because a particular radio is the best for someone doesn't mean its the best for you. We can obtain a consensus on which radio performs the "best" for the largest % of users though.

However, see [MENTION=5427631]Vonnegut[/MENTION] 's experiences here on modems.

How to Flash?

Simply flash the .zip below in your preferred recovery. If you prefer flashing via fastboot, extract the .bin file out of the .zip file and flash it by typing,

fastboot flash modem <name-of-modem>.bin

The MD5 hashes for the files below are MD5 hashes of the zips and not the radio image themselves.

[ONE General] pijas82:
thanks, great
[ONE General] dayanandgp:
thank you :) this is a good thread with direct collection :) just out of curiosity , are there any improvements ? I don't have any issues with call etc. do you think its good idea to update to latest ? currently on mahdi rom latest build..
[ONE General] captiv123:
This is great thanks.

How would I know which modem I am using now ? In case I want to revert to stock ?

Is one of these the original stock one ?

Am on mahdi 0823 stock modem that came with the phone.

Thanks in advance
[ONE General] MICa.fighter:
You can check the phone info for baseband version. Thats the modem. But remember the stock cm11s modems use the same name. So i would ask the dev of the rom (in this case mahdi rom) , or you can check the modem in your rom.zip and compare checksums to find the same.

But you dont even need to bother with these. Just keep a backup of your rom.zip, it has a modem, its probably called NON-HLOS.bin, you can flash it through fastboot anytime, with the command stated in the OP:

fastboot flash modem <filename>.bin
[ONE General] zephiK:
You'll just have to use your own judgment and keep track of what radio you're on. Theres no way to distinguish because CyanogenInc / OnePlus thought it was a good idea to be doing baseband/radio changes while keeping the same version. Which in my opinion, I believe is a bad practice because then users will not remember what radio they're on if they're using radios other than the latest.

Mahdi ROM does not include a radio in their flashable zip.

I can't really answer that question for you as I don't live in your area. For instance, I'm in New York City, if I get the best performance using the XNPH30O radio (just saying as a example) it doesn't meant that you will get the same performance because you're in California (as an example) on AT&T. In my post I explained it, there is no best modem/radio. You will have to just flash it, use it for a couple days (or 1 day) and conclude it for yourself. I'm hoping that people will be more active in this thread and personally lay out their opinions on what is the best radio for them as well as include their location so people can get a general idea/consensus on the most popular radio/modem.

Ask yourself the questions.

- How is my battery life? Did it improve or did it worsen due to a weaker/stronger signal?

- Am I getting dropped connections?

... etc

[ONE General] zephiK:
Its weird because I get better idle time when I'm on cell data than having airplane mode on. Probably because the phone continues to work on finding signal when its in airplane, probably a bug. xD
[ONE General] funCrash93:
I guess you could also add radios from CM Snapshoots like M8 and M9, 'coz for example there are people that run better with those than CM11s ones.

personally running M9 radio (of course bacon one :D ), and for me as well Snapshot radio is better.

[ONE General] sephk:
Thanks ! This thread was needed

Testing 33R. I travel weekly from West to East, and use AT&T on StraightTalk.
[ONE General] devilsshadow:
That is so strange. I haven't noticed any differences between the M9 radio and the radio that came with the latest CM11S OTA (33R I think). Maybe they use the same one?
[ONE General] zephiK:
Sometimes the basebands are close enough that you don't notice a difference. Thats why originally I didn't want to include the snapshot radios but /shrug.. someone suggested it so I went for it. Its hard to tell whether or not there is a difference since its closed source and that the baseband version is the same.

More or less, I would personally follow the OTA basebands. The only time, I'd look into the snapshot is if M10 gets released tonight and its the newest radio, but once the next OTA comes out. I'd stick with the OTA basebands.

Although on other phones, the same thing could be said. Two radios could have the same results as well.
[ONE General] devilsshadow:
Only reason I flashed the M9 modem in the first place was because I got the chinese OPO and people were reporting issues with 3G and dropped calls with it. But now I'm gonna stick to whatever the OTAs use and only flash nightly radios if I notice any issues with the OTA radios. This thread is still great for quick access to said modems tho', so thanks for that.
[ONE General] zephiK:
Thanks for the kind words. The thread will remain updated as the new radios come about :)
[ONE General] AhmedFaiz:
Nice thread much needed one.? Anyone from India Airtel network here using the latest radio what is your feedback? Which radio do you feel is working great with the Indian network?

I am on the latest radio that came with the OTA of cm11s. But from the last radio also I had issues of signal drops w when I switch it to 3G it's not as great as the 2G signals which is very strong feel on my device.

It would be nice to know any Indian users feedback on this topic.

Spicediablo, he doesn't need to flash back the modem or the kernel.

Since english is not my natural born language, please tell me what you keep missing to understand reading the following sentences:

As for all of the other partitions (boot, aboot, modem, tz, LOGO etc etc) that might be updated with the OTA, the script overwrite them (if needed), so any custom kernel (or recovery if i didn't unflag the developer option) will be overwritten by brute force.

To sum it up: only changes in the

system

can stop an OTA installation. If an OTA fails, just take a recovery log and look what file didn't match the expected HASH.

Reception is fine if I am on stock 33R kernel or R16 of Franco (newer kernels seem to be screwy with my phone where it starts hopping from LTE to H+ to no signal and back which kills the phones battery).

If so, can i just flash the R38 Update simply again?
[ONE General] zephiK:
A radio is not included in 38r everything is placebo. Plus it doesn't help that the phone defaults your preferred network to TD wcdma. Change it. Google on the dialer code 4636.

The color os radio in op is the latest. It's the same radio being used in the nightlies as well as m11
