Which device you got, i9020 A or T or a i9023?
You can always check here for flashable radios, be sure to take the one for your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Also check if you enabled 2G only, *#*#4636#*#*, telephone settings, GSM or CDMA only = 2G only
If nothing helps flash a stock rom for YOUR device from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
What rentaric said. If you have a I9020A or I9023, you have the wrong model. For T-Mobile in the US, you must have the I9020T model for 3G to work.
Anyone have a reccomendation for the best east coast(CT) radio
Thanks
I have similar issues in Sweden. Generally, my nexus has lower signal strength than my girlfriends x10 mini.
Model: I9023
Android: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9023XXKD1
Kernel: Netarchy 1.3.7 cfs
Version: GRJ22
A lot of people suggests trying KD3 (?) and sure I could do that but I would like to know what's new.. Are there any (understandable) change log for these radios?

Slightly off topic, but in Toronto my Bell sgs2 also works best with KH3 modem.
going great
im using a bell sg2, on rogers
lite'ning rom 6.1
xxkh3
no complaints, its awsome
if the OP post is well maintained and helpful, then this topic will be eligible as a permanent sticky
Im using a Bell SGS2 on Rogers as well. Was using KH3 on LeoMar ROM (TW4.5) and now using GingerMod still KH3 (Vanilla Android), Ninphetamine 2.1.3 kernel, and I must say the battery is much, much better on GingerMod.
Yes with the pending release of the Rogers official version, it would be a great idea to have this stickified.
I have KG5 and a Polish version of SGS2 on Rogers, bought from Expansya USA. It is stable, but the battery lasts 5-6 hours. Yes I am using 3G all the time.

then that is normal
even a single core phone only last roughly that time on a full charge, if you are constantly online (like me)
Anybody pick up a sgs2 lte yet?

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
rooted but stock rom.
Litening 6.1, KH3 modem and speedmod kernel. Bell unlocked running oo
n Rogers.
Bought from Bell, unlocked on Rogers, stock ROM, KG2, rooted. Fastest I've gotten so far is 6.10mbps down, 1.20mbps up @ 145ms ping in the KW area.
I'm located along st lawrence between Ottawa & Kingston...
Small town, only 2 towers...east and west
West end tower, from 8am-12am I get 0.05-3Mbps..usually around 0.5-1.5Mbps..almost always ~1Mbps up
East end tower, from 8am-12am I get 1-3Mbps..usually 2-3Mbps...so less congestion on that tower....same upstream, about 1Mbps
On west end from 12am-8am I get 5-7Mbps down, 1-3Mbps up
On east end from 12am-8am I get 5-14Mbps down, and 2-3Mbps up
So obviously problems with congestion depending on the time of day....
Been testing many modems, currently on KI1..I actually think it is working better for me than KH3. Download speeds seem better during daytime today (only installed this modem yesterday)...could just be luck, or this modem actually is better...not sure which....
KI1 I might actually have a little bit lower signal, but things just "feel" better....maybe it's a more accurate resemblance of actual signal though....idk...
Bell GT-I9100
DlevROM 1.3
SpeedMod K1-t40 kernel
Tried many different kernel's...ninphetamine seems to be my fav so far...but I'm testing out some others to see how well they work....
I get ~18 hours moderate use...that was on ninphetamine with 1.6ghz and undervolted...
on speedmod I seem to get ~41 hours with same usage... no overclock, no undervolting, obviously due to kernel....
same use on iphone 4 would have been 4-6 hours battery absolute max. even when it was brand new...
I always leave 3g on, fast dormancy disabled, wifi on about 65% of the time...
above battery ratings were tested on Cognition 1.5.1, and kernel noted in test sentence...
unsure about dlev as I just installed it yesterday, haven't calibrated or put it to the test.
Bought the Bell SGS2 when it launched here.
Rooted the stock KG2, used Galaxy_S Unlock to unlock the phone.
Used plenty of roms, and with my moderate usage, they honestly usually last me the day. Have yet to try CM7, will soon, but I just love the stock TW look.
Using KI4, 2.3.4 that was just released, with a lighter font, the modified TW4, and of course rooted with XEU CSC.
Amazing signal, better battery life than KG5, and Cognition 1.51 (At least for me, and it was quite a noticeable improvement)
Using it on Rogers, of course.
Waiting to use my hardware upgrade for either the iPhone 5 and selling that, or the SGS2 LTE and selling my Bell SGS2. We shall see.
Thanks for everyboby. I will maintained and helpful this thread.
We are here to help each other.

not rooted, not getting great speedtest results downtown.
Using juice defender ultimate to shut off the radios when screen goes off, getting 24-36 hours battery life under typical usage, less if i am on it all the time, mostly display draining the battery even at 1 step above lowest level.
Have a Virgin GS2 that I unlocked and rooted to use on Rogers.
Currently using KH3 with Cognition 1.51. Happy with everything so far (GPS, modem, etc)... would like to see someone get the Wiimote working though.

I'm on Rogers with Lightning Rom 6.1 with a KH3 modem. I am having reception issues in my area (Markham). Any recommendations on which modem to try? I have heard about KG6 being good, is it worth a try?

Hi
I just wondered if it was possible to install the baseband-N_01.77.36p radio on a Neutrino rom on a UK model Atrix??
I would love to have some radio that this was suppose to have in the first place?
Surely there's someone who has installed this?

What are you on about...?
Firstly, the UK model is NOT 4G, and will not achieve the so called AT&T 4G speeds. Yes it supports HSPA+ (Which ATT call 4G) but its not the same class as theirs.
Second of all, why do you want to install an AT&T radio on a non AT&T phone? There are plenty of radios for your phone.
It should work, but I don't see the point, also, you may get a false 3G reading i.e your signal will always be 1 bar.
im using an atrix on Everything Everywhere in the UK using N_01.100.00R with no issues, works very well for me.

Me too, but radio performance is weaker on my Atrix than my HTC Hero! In the same place connected to the same cell. Better radio performance would be a real improvement to this h/s.
What's the stock radio in the UK 2.3.4 build?
I used to bust my buddy's balls about how I had great signal (Verizon Note 3) and he had a crappy signal (AT&T Note 2) at my work and home.
Literally, less than two months ago, my signal has become horrible. I've tried Safe Mode to see if it's an app causing issues but apparently it's not. My Note 3 is turning into a paperweight. I'm constantly on 1x or no signal in places I used to have 2 bars of 4g. I can't make/receive calls and texting is no longer optional.
He's running his Note 2 100% stock.
My Note 3 has bootloader unlocked and is rooted. I'm using the stock ROM.
I'm gonna toss out some info hoping someone can help me figure this out:
Model: SM-N900V
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband: N900VVRUEOF1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build Number: LRX21VN900VVRUEOF1
I could go on but hoped this information would be a good start.
I can torch the phone and start over but would like to leave that as my last option. I could reinstall a previous nandroid backup and see what happens. Hell, I just need to get this phone working like it did two months ago!!
I'd love to get the Galaxy S8+ but having a non-rooted phone would be tough for me.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Did you remove the back and see if any of the screws around the edge are loose?

Holy crap, I just removed the back and tightened every screw available. My signal is better than I've seen in a while. I don't know if it's "cured" but it sure made a difference.
Thanks for the heads up on that!
I got the us version x727. Currently running lineage was on .21 I believe when I unlocked and flashed. ( flashing didn't make reception better or worse)
I seem to drop calls way more frequently compared to nexus 6 , nexus 5 and samsung note 3 all on at&t / cricket.
changing preferred network settings seem to not effect my dropping. I am using the stock case and screen protector.
Its very frustrating as I am a truck driver and rely on this device to be used as an actual phone.
I would have returned this but I bought on amazon and changed there cell phone policy to only exchange.
Thanks for everyone's help
I also have poor reception with AT&T in Mexico, currently running Android 7 AICP rom but I remember stock rom was better in the reception
