Radio: 2.22.19.26I or .23, which is better?

From my experience, I have received better battery life, reception and speed with the .23 radio, since upgraded the spl with haykuro's new one, I have been a bit afraid to downgrade the radio on my phone (running Ion as of today, amazing!). I was wondering if I am the only one who experienced this? And yeah, I did search the forums, however, the thread that was previously up could not be continued as it was no longer a valid link (found the google cache of it).
For those that have tried the .23 radio, what build are you using? Also, can the radio affect applications? I know that from my WinMo days it could, and obviously from our experience with the new spl, it can also in here, but what about the .23 radio with 1.5 ROMs?
What are your experiences with the differences in the sapphire (.23) radio and the newer .26I one? If that thread before was locked or removed and that is the reason why the link is no longer valid, I apologize to the mods and you can lock this thread, I just wanted to continue the discussion on this topic, as if we are getting better reception and battery life from a different radio, why take a step back?
-Brandon

I had the radio 23 on my device and the bluetooth in my car doesn't work with the Dream.. I saw the contacts list, I could receive a call, but I was not able to make a call at all... After upgrading to the new radio everithing goes well, and now bluetooth works correctly! so IMHO the new radio is far better than the old one!

Where to download .23 radio? Links on Haykuros site is not working so there might be some trouble with it?

New radio is great if your in a 3g area I think those of us in EDGE can agree it kills battery very fast I have gone back to .23 radio as I get much better battery life in my EDGE are.

I'm looking around and can't find the .23 radio. Do you have a link?

Here ya go uploaded just for you...

i'm in an EDGE area -- 26I seems to have increased my battery life.
maybe it does different things on different handsets?!

With .23, I was always in 3G but my wifi wont work with .23. With .26, I am always switching back and forth between 3G, edge, and GPRS but wifi works fine. I have both radios on my sd and flash between the two frequently just because I'm not sure which one I like better.

Agreed. .26 always has me switching all the time and it's pretty annoying. Makes the Market a real pain.

I also like .23 A LOT better since it was significantly faster; unfortunately .26I will be required for Hero and it's required for 6.0r1 so I'm stuck with it

It maybe required for hero but I doubt it. It is not in anyway require for 6.01 as I was using 6.01 and went back to 5.02 and im still using older radio.
Based on what I know about radios from PPC side a radio will never be requirement for rom SPL is a whole nother story and radio maybe required to flash certain SPL. Rom should not require certain radio though.

Interesting, though it makes a lot of sense, I don't know why I always thought the two were inclusive. Wasn't there something about the new SPL bricking non .26I phones?

Where in Miami? I get 3G 90% of the time all over Miami (Downtown, Coral Gables, Kendall, West Kendall, South Miami). My only EDGE areas are a little zone between Brickel and Little Havana / Coconut Grove.

I'm in Miami and I get 3G, Edge, etc switching all the time as well. Very disappointed in Tmob down here. It's especially bad around Sunset/87th ave area.

Im in Jupiter and I only get edge and wifi..... :/

I am still running original Cupcake. Is it sufficient to use a Goldcard to flash different Radios? Or do I need Root and/or a different SPL?
I have BT issues with original Cupcake Radio .26I, so need a different Radio.
thx

How come the package is so large? I know that the LTE and 3G individually are 10-12MB a piece, so 50MB seems large.

An MD5 would be much appreciated.

Included as much info as I could now!

Updated with Compressed File and Updated MD5

What are the version numbers?
If the LTE is the same as the last update and you flash it won't you brick? Or does that only apply to the actual radio?

Seems to be working fine for me, obviously can't comment on battery life, but 4g works as normal, and it hasn't crashed in the 3 whole minutes I've used it. Hopefully I'll have useful input tomorrow.

Applying the same radio twice (LTE or CDMA) does not brick the thunderbolt. This problem exists on older phones, but not on the thunderbolt.

Hate to ask a dumb ? here.... Does it matter what type of ROM you're running, Froyo or GB?

I am getting 77-78 dBm signal , that is a stronger signal.

Getting -72 on the radio, but LTE speeds are 4-6mpbs when they were going at 12mpbs on MR2
Sent from my BURNTH3ORYX using XDA App

How's the battery life/drain on this radio compared to the MR2 OTA radio?

Im getting excellent signal but my battery has drained from full charge 30% since 9:30 a.m.. my battery life was way better with the same amount of usage with the last updates radio so im going back.

After a full 24 hrs on this Radio, here are my results, so far:
1) Battery life... about the same, but probably too soon to really tell. I'm in LA, and pretty much always on 4G
2) Signal strength.. about the same, almost always connected on 4G
3) Speed... my upload is faster than before. I'm getting around 6Mb up average, and I ran speedtest probably 20 times; on prior radio's, I would get around 4.5Mb to 5MB consistently. Download still varies, between 8mb to 12mb generally.
overall, not much difference, but no downside that I can see, so sticking with this radio for now

I'm Waiting to Upgrade the Radio on Mine to This for a Few Days Until the "Official" ROM Update Release is Done...
I had to Warranty Out a Bolt Cause After Switching Radios a Few Times It Would Stay on 3G Constantly! Annoying I received the replacement and it came with the official MR2 Radio Installed and I haven't Had any Issues with Signal, Sometimes it Does Switch to 3G but I think It's Just Checking its Signals...
Any Suggestions..?

4.2.2 and .48 radio on T-Mobile

Anybody else having data issues when it comes to the newer .48 radio with T-Mobile? My data is constantly dropping and I'm in a great coverage area. (Always 3-4 bats with hpsa+) I wasn't having this problem with 4.2.1 roms and the .33 radio. I tried to revert back to using the .33 radio and the .27 radio with my 4.2.2 rom but no luck. I don't hear audio in calls and it seems like .48 will only work. Anybody else in this dilemma and how have you solved it?
To be honest, the data drops don't annoy me as much. It's the reconnecting that bugs me. Some times it takes 1-2 minutes to reconnect.

try redownloading/reflashing it?

Same here.
Constant dropping. And sometimes it will stay in E/G mode and not switch to H even when in a known strong H area.
Losing signal all the time as well.
I can barely make phone calls and when I do, there is static.
Starting to HATE t-mobile....the data speeds are fast, if only you can get a signal.
I've even tried new sim cards, and no change.
Anyone have any other suggestions on Carriers for this phone? plan price is not an issue, I just want quality.

I've noticed similar issues with my TMo sim but not my straight talk at&t one. I just attributed it to bad service or coverage by TMo. If it is a radio issue however, and someone can confirm it, this could be very interesting. Would be willing to downgrade to .27. Tried .33 but noticed little difference except larger battery drain. Glad I'm not only one experiencing this issue as well though.

I tried flashing the 27 radio again. Everything works, except the damn audio while in call. It sucks too because my internet speeds are so much better on .27! I hardly see a loading screen. Haha.
Maybe it's time to go back to 4.2.1 rasbean for good. But that means no more flashing
Edit: I wonder if using a different recovery would effect it. I'm using twrp recovery, but maybe should try it with cwm recovery. Or even fast boot.

[Q] Switching between 3G and H is such an annoyance... Any help?

I've read up on this and understand it is supposed to be normal, but man does it make my phone so much worse. Every single time a page loads it has to switch from 3G to H. My reception seems like it sucks so bad because of this. Sometimes it doesn't switch. I get good bars everywhere I go, but it feels like I have terrible reception.
I've never understood radios and such. I'm rooted with the stock rom. Would this be better if I tried cyanogenmod with a different radio? There has to be a fix for this issue.
If you solve this for me, I'll kiss you through the internet.

I don't think kissing anyone over the internet would make them want to help you any more
Its how the phone works, its supposed to switch to 3G to H. H comes on when data is more active.

the bars are for your gsm radio, telephone calls. they dont give you an idea on data speeds. do a speed test to see how good of a data connection you have.

I knew the bars are for phone calls, but I'm in the city of Chicago and have a hard time believing my data is as bad as it seems. I'll have plenty of times where it shows 3G connection and doesn't switch to H, therefore no data comes through. I've had plenty of times where I didn't believe I wasn't getting data, so I reset my phone and sure enough - data!
I do believe something could be wrong with my specific phone. I might need to try a full reset or flash cyanogenmod. I just didn't want to do that. Especially without checking with you genius's beforehand!

The radio is .48.. Baseband is Radio. You can go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 and try out other radio to see if you get better reception.

I can do that, but I'll first have to figure out how to do it. For some reason my drivers say they don't work and it won't let me flash clockwork mod. I was going to make another post about it after I figured this out. Do you think radio could be the issue?
Also, I am on Tmobile, but I thought LTE didn't really work since it was ATT band 4 or something and only very specific areas had it?

Well, I just found out my APN was the one used when you are on LTE. I changed it to the non LTE version and will test over the next few days. If that was my problem, I'm going to be upset at the Tmobile lady who put in that info.

Please do let us know if it's any better after using the epc APN.
If you flash to the .33 radio, the LTE will turn on and it's very good at holding a data connection. It's just when it's not available and my phone connects to hspa+. I have similar problems as you. My signal indicator works great and its blue but no internet. I'm wondering if i'll need to keep switching apns. I hope not.

Well, I did my commute this morning and there really was no change. It could be a combination of poor data reception areas and slow switching. I'd like to try to flash a new radio, but I don't know how. I can start a new thread about this, but I'll at least mention my problem here. I installed the Nexus 4 Toolkit and went through all the steps to make sure the drivers were installed correctly and such. I did this a long time ago when I rooted the phone. But something is wrong and it doesn't let me flash clockworkmod. It tells me to go through the steps again, which I have tried.
Is there a way to flash a new radio without clockwordmod?

Lte is amazing in Chicago but not as strong in Chicagoland. However, hspa+ is garbage in Chicago but better in Chicago land.
As for cwm, I prefer twrp. You can just download goo manager from the app store and it will install twrp for you. As far as I know you need to use a custom Rom that supports the older radios or else your calling might mess up. I use aokp.

I actually tried that a few weeks ago, before I knew what I was doing. I wasn't able to flash it because I didn't have a custom recovery. I'm glad I went to CyanogenMod though. It seems to be faster and there are little things that make it better than stock.

Yeah CM has a lot of nice additions, Paranoid is pretty slick...been a fan of that one on multiple devices. It's built around swapping ui dpi...so you can set your phone to act like a phablet or tablet per app...ie...make gmail look like it does on your tablet on your phone. Let's you drop out the soft keys and replace them with a pop up slide wheel/etc and has a lot of the AOSP and CM features like the quick notification toggles etc.

MHC19I radio T-Mobile

Anyone seeing worst reception with T-Mobile on the newest radio for MHC19I? Im wondering if it's just me or if it's hanging out the last tower I was near for too long before switching to the next tower? This is what I'm seeing myself. And what radio for T-Mobile works best for some of you if you've tried a few out? Thanks to those who may reply.

Not t-mobile but for me reception with Verizon seems worse with MHC19I's radio

So which radio are you using?

I'm on T-Mobile running the latest build. No issues to report here.

on tmobile with the latest update, no issues here.

T-Mobile also no issues and LTE works better with latest radio.... I'm on a custom aosp ROM.

Same here. Best experience yet with newest radio. LTE bug is also squashed with latest radio.

Are you guys all running stock rom? I have LTE connectivity issues but installed a custom rom within hours of getting my 6p and am curious if I just need to go back to stock. I'll probably try going back to stock anyway... it's so frustrating having to keep the phone on 3g to maintain data.

No I'm not the stock ROM. I'm using uberstock which is for the most part plain aosp.

OK, well I just flashed back to latest stock & unroot with no improvement. Signal still drops, returns, drops. [emoji20]

Just move my N6P from Sprint to TMobile and im seeing an improvement on my signal even getting better battery life which could be related to the signal.

I'm on Fi but T-Mobile is the stronger signal at my house. After March update I am still at around -95 dbm. So no change in signal. However my battery use from cell standby has dropped and I get better battery life.

Agree with you, data not good here in Cali after the MHC update, i might go back to the build before this

You could just change your radio

I'm having the same issue on T-Mobile with the newest radio. Reflashed 2.50 and back in business.
