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.

The best radio for PR?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
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?

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.

What are the stages where this is at right now? Fully usable? Still Alpha? I currently have a Galaxy S2 and love it, but it is big and I really want ICS. Is ICS helping with battery life at all? What are people experiencing performance/battery wise? Things like data speeds? Is image quality any better on the device?
Thanks!
Another ICS thread? Ever thought about joining one of the other 10 threads on this subject and actually read what others have been already saying about it.

The ICS dev threads have hundreds, if not thousands of posts. Makes it hard to find information. I don't currently have the phone so it makes it hard for me.
Real simple is to jump to the end of a ics dev thread and read the posts backwards. You will see the most recent info. In short the rom I am running is very smooth, few things need tinkering with to get them working, no 4g but that is expected with a non nexus 4g source. I will also say that after using a ics rom as a daily driver since last weekend the rest of the world who are waiting on ics for their device will not be disappointed when it finally gets there. As far as the battery life goes I have had the best daily usage out of my nexus as ever, true story.

When everyone says 4G, they mean Sprint, right? I have T-Mo so would HSPA+ work?
well there are roms being developed for all variants of the nexus s. But yes I have the nexus s 4g on sprint.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I'm not sure about hspa+, isn't that just t-mobiles way of saying 4g? Like lte and wimax? If so then I doubt the ability to connect to it works without the official sources being released by google yet.

There are a few daily use status versions out now IMO

Excuse all the thread police. Apparently some on here have OCD and treat the threads like their personal panty drawr (nice and neat). But to answer your question: ICS is pretty far along on the device, battery is better than ginger, performance has the potential to be better when source drops (right now it's faster sometimes and slower at others), data speeds are about the same, and image is great. In all, the ports we have are daily drivers for MANY, including myself. Although most of the bugs seem to have been ironed out, I can see there is still a lot of potential. Our DEVS are pretty gangster so we will surely see much more progression.
I agree but keep in mind that Ginger was developed fromour phones CPU. Hummingbird. In which why if runs so fluid. Ics is for the what's ever in the galaxy nexus. No other phone will run ics smoother than the gn as no other phone had ever beaten this on Ginger.
My point is that we need source code so we can make a ron with other elements intwined to the framework. Show me how to sign a Tom and I'll. Dev the crap out of it

I'm using Brainmaster's V2 and it's a daily for sure. I haven't updated because I use A2DP a lot, and the newer versions built off of Koush's rom lose that.

yes most of the roms on ICS for i9020/23 (3G) are lying.
seems like ALL of the 4G Nexus S is working. I found an updated radio image i9020xxki1, but i didn't have the guts to flash it to see if it works.
i am not seeing any threads or complaints about reception. so how is compared to the galaxy nexus and in general? anybody switch to t-moblile from at&t or vice versa? i am with and will be staying with at&t when i get mine. the gnex isn't great with reception so one of the biggest reasons i am sitting on the sidelines waiting for google to pull their heads out of their ass and hoping i get a bump in reception. i wish motorola made more unlocked gsm phones. thoughts or complaints?
No complains here.
Reception is a bit better than the galaxy nexus.
I'll be out in the city today so I'll chime in later with more results.

Never owned a GN and can only comment on UK GSM stuff, but bar wise my N4 has a stronger signal than my HOX.
Seems much better than my s3. Unfair comparison maybe though as my network has just merged with EE in the UK.

Does seem a bit better than my gnex. Not greatly but a bit.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
anybody think the reception is affecting the battery life greatly or still think it is more chipset or kernel related?
I'm getting full bars where I used to get one or two, way better than my other phones.

People bars don't mean anything. Go into settings and look at the actual dBm signal strength.

So I read in most forums and it seems to me that you can get 4g but at the cost of Google now not working. I'm just a bit confused. I've had my nexus 4 for about 2 weeks now. 3g only. Currently on T-Mobile what I was wondering is that how come my box says 4g but I'm only getting 3g and I checked best buys website and they're selling nexus 4 and in the description it says it has 4g.

they call hspa+ 4G. while its technically 3G(or 3.5G), it can be very fast too, so they call it 4G. ive gotten data speed as fast as 30mbps for download on hspa+ in my area. i think that you are thinking lte, which is also considered 4G. they are just different technology.

In fact it's got a LTE modem inside so it was possible to connect but no specific amplifiers for 4G signal, also the newest update from Google rendered it unusable.
HSPA+ 21/42 is fast enough, as said above, I guess.
What everyone above me said. For what it's worth, for most people, hspa+ is more than fast enough. There is nothing you'd do on a phone than warrants needing faster internet than your at home cable internet lol
