Radio for Australia - Nexus S General

Hi guys
Just want to know which radio are you guys using. I'm using KD1. Anyone done any testing to see whether this is the best for Australia or a previous version such as kb3.
I know for my x10 there are regional updates for basebands. Is this the case for the nexus S

I too would like to know more info about radios. I'm currently on kb3 and it seems sufficient. I get GPS lock in 10 seconds so reasonably happy.

Tested with Kb3 and Kd1, both same, not much difference as Vodafone network is still upgrade in progress. I guess, KD1 is mre effective for UK

I'm on optus and just want to check is it my plan / location
My hsdpais pretty much non existant for the last month or 2

Stock rom doesn't show the H sign. Only custom roms do that. Maybe it's a carrier issue?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I think mostly in AUstralia, we get less "H", I not sure why, gotta ask them

Oh I'm using superaosp.. best rom... so that's not because of stock rom that I don't see h
Funny when I first got the planing on now I see h very often

I'm also with vodafail. Using speedtest, I get better download with the new radio KD1 and upload speed was relatively the same in comparison with KB3

Been using the .17 radio for a month now with great results. Usually full bars in the GTA and as far east as Belleville. I have not tried the new .30 radio as of yet.

so ive gone and tried the new radio, and still garbage... most of the day in my home area here, my cell has no reception and a wonderful x through the signal bars....
so what else is a good solid radio for super weak reception areas?
or is there any way to boost signal?

This is a lost cause no radio is gonna magically make you have a stronger signal. Why are you asking and just try them?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Which radio did u try? Both 4.30 and 4.16 provided noticable improvements in cell reception for me, but as someone else posted if there is no signal to begin with....

If you use cm7 Rom , you can use 26.08.02.17_m2
Sense gingerbread Rom use 26.08.04.30 or 26.08.04.16
And must use Ril
my wifes iphone has 3 bars on average here where i have no service.... so the service is fine in the area...
Perhaps it is bad hardware? You have the Bell Desire Z? Maybe take it in and get them to give you a replacement. What network is the iPhone on?
I updated to the new .30 radio and its working great here in oshawa. Slight improvement in all areas imo.

Hi to the Nexus S users. I got a brand new Nexus S 4g this past Saturday coming from a DINC. I'm running CM7 stable. Is anyone having signal issues/slow 3g speeds by the way?

Can't say for sure since I have a Tmo NS but having had Sprint I can tell you my wife and I had those issues with all Sprint phones. Their 3g speeds SUCK.
Make sure you have ke5 or ke1 radio

How do I switch radios and which should I use? I want faster 3g speeds lol actually what I want is a lower, stable ping lol

Sprint is upgrading yhe network so it might go up and down for awhile
If you have rom manager look under peters section he has the radio updates in his downloads

Having the correct radio will give you better reception, which will give you a more reliable connection. As a result you may see increased speeds. Keyword is may. You can decrease your ping by setting a local server ip your phone first connects to. Search for lowering pings. For radios, flash using fastboot. Please be sure to read up on radio flashing as a mistake could be catastrophic. Good luck

I am also new to the NS4G, having switched from evo 4g. Sprint 3G has always sucked the big one and I don't notice any appreciable difference between nexus and evo speeds.
The phone reception IS quite a bit weaker than the Evo however.

Thanks for the responses guys, how would I go about seeing which radio I have?

Best for custom ROMs, 3G or WiFi?

About to buy a new nexus for Christmas and will be flashing quite a few custom ROMs but which is best for custom ROM choice, the 3G version or the WiFi version?
Perhaps this is an irrelevant question, as the ROMs can be installed on either model?
Wish somebody would tell me, as I don't want get the 3G and regret it.
Cheers

3G ROM will need to have 3G build... So a lot of the stuff dominating this forum won't work properly ... It will get more support as more units get out there I guess but right now it's slim pickings
all roms work with wifi version and for 3g some work ,some not but it will change soon because developers will update their rom to work and on 3G

Thanks both of your for your comments.
In the end, I ordered a 32 gb WiFi only model as it guarantees good custom ROM support from day one and I can always tether to my phone if I need to.

New Baseband ,Radio,Modem?

Hi Guys,
Were are the new basebands for the nexus 4?
My phone is not so stable about the signal.i think an new baseband can fix that problem.
Has anybody seen an new baseband ?
Greets Stefan
I'm looking for this too. Tired of the LOS on tmobile
Transmission sent from my badass Nexus 4.
Would like to also see a flashable radio that somewhat improves data
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I don't think there is a update for those fields, at the moment.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
have to wait for the next OTA that releases. and that doesnt even guarantee a new radio release with it. it may ship the same radio.
They come from Google no one here makes them.
I'm patiently waiting on a new radio as well. Updating the radio on my Galaxy Nexus was the best mod I ever did. Increasing the signal strength made a huge difference in usability in my area.
As others have mentioned, it might be a while. We need to wait for more OTA's to be released and hope that they have updated basebands.

I'm pretty sure that LG makes the radio not Google. As they would follow LG's guideline for baseband format.
Kinda like how Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S radios had Samsung guideline of: XXKF1, etc.
XX representing region (UG,etc)
K representing year
F representing month. etc
# representing release of that month.
Nothing about new basebands ?
What is the newest baseband ? I have 2.0.1700.33!

Not sure why you're expecting there to be newer basebands floating around, seeing as how it's a brand new phone...

That is the latest one available. The phone came out on the 13th of November so its too early to expect so many updates.

The default baseband is such an improvement over my old one on S2 that I'm happy enough!
Yes please... They need to release a new one I'm getting horrible 4G speeds on my Nexus 4.
On my s3 average is 15down and 1.8up... With a high of around 25down and 3up
On the nexus four I can't get past 10. So ****ty.
Here are some n4 tmobile results

I'd like to try some other modems too. The change in modem made my i9000 far better signal wise and even increased download speed.
No one searched for this?
There's a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 with the only radios collected so far. Nothing new yet until hopefully 4.2.2.
FWIW, Downgrading to .27 helped myself, and many others, tremendously with both signal strength and data speeds. .33 was terrible for me.

Ignore the first one as that is wifi..
Battery life, seems good to me so far, varies on each build of the custom ROM, as in gets better each time. I get a full day easily.

The second one is WiFi quick.
Once coverage spreads and the price drops by at least 50% I'll have some 4G but until then? Thanks to all the early adopters :good:
yeah it is stupid have 4g now on EE..

Bro, could you please let this be a global 4G LTE thread? It would be nice to see how everyone speed differ around the world right? Many people have global devices that can work on many different countries LTE network.
Anyways, if you choose to do so please change the thread title
Oh, global 3G speed tests wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks in advance
