[Q] What is the best radio for the Inspire 4g

I was wondering what is the best radio for our Inspire 4g's? I am not sure myself, and I haven't been able to find much if the inspire 4g is cross compatible with the Desire HD besides, roms and kernels. I am wondering mainly if I can install the radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M from the desire HD forum. I am not sure if it compatible or had any side effects / negative reprecussions.

You'll find that some say that a m2 or the m3 radio give you better battery life but I think that might be a placebo effect. I have the m3 which i have no problems with but I am saying that my good battery life goes towards the CM7 build 28! The radio may have something to do with it. If it does, it's very small if any.

That is the leaked gingerbread radio? I am running Coredroid v3.2 with leedroid kernel v2.2.8. I flashed that radio just experimenting. For me I had amazing signal better then the m2 and m3, but my battery life drained away like it was cool. Not doing anything on my phone (full charge no wifi no bluetooth, just data). Cell standby used about 20% of my battery in about 3 hours. With the m2 and m3 my cell stand by is around 11% after 15 hours.

I use 26.06.04.14_M on Android Revolution 3.2 and I can't complain. Before that, I used the radio from attn1's root kit and had shotty reception. Since the upgrade, I've had full service. Don't let bars lie to you though. Check your signal strength in the "about phone" section of the settings menu. Watch the dB's - the close to 0, the better.

Going to flash 26.06.04.14_M as recommended in the revolution thread. How do you find battery life on it cblock? I'm very happy with the battery life on the stock radio that came loaded from at&t but I've dropped a few calls today which isn't normally a problem for me, hoping for a stronger signal from the new radio.
Side note, anyone know how to check what band the phone is running on, 850 or 1900?

What RADIO did you settle on and what result?

See post 1414 on this page. Hands down best radio I have used so far. I am in Florida if that really makes a difference. See pictures of GPS and Speeds. Not to mention the best rom IMHO.

Hey my bad... Forgot to check back
Battery life is fantastic, especially if you're running Gingerbread. (I'm on cm nightly 32)
Here's the radio:
http://xda.ckgaming.co.uk/db_mirror/Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.zip
All I can say is do the homework on flashing radios!

Yeah that's the Generic Gingerbread Radio. I flashed it about six hours ago. I have two Inspire's, too. One stock Radio and one with that radio. Where the Stock Radio is getting -110dbi 11asu, this new one gets -93dbi 4asu. Same location.
Not sure what asu is, though. But I do understand the db measurement.

My bad. I was looking at that thread in another tab. Trying to get the best signal I can in Atlanta.

help please....
I have an htc inspire 4g unlocked on t-mobile but sometimes the signal just desapears and comes back am wondering what radio would work better any help please...

Jeebus...guys I'm learning all this and having fun flashing new ROMS and trying to find one I can live with for more than a day
Other than my StreakDroid, I've flashed a few custom roms on my wife's captivate and now have the Inspire 4G and love it.
I keep reading ROM's that need Eng S-Off..with tutorials and guides. Then I read how dangerous it can be. I'm considering it and wasn't sure where else to ask this...but is it that risky?
Will the benefits be that much better by doing it? Can I get most custom ROMs to work with stock radio? I really want to do this, but damn, my wife's gonna kill me if I mess up another phone.

I just got my inspire today and rooted it and I'm running CM7 RC4 but flashed the radio listed in the forum but my upload speed still sucks at about 100, am I missing something

This is how I flash radios. works flawlessly. No need for eng-s off this way.

I can't get any high than 150 up, and I am running cm7 and this radio as well. I have tried 2 other radios and had same issue. I never tried a speediest after first rooting, so I have no idea if I ever got better uploads.

I am getting -83dBm in columbia SC running the same radio.

What's taking so long for HTC/Verizon to release 2.3.4 for Thunderbolt?

I don't get it, really so many phones came out with 2.3.4 already why is Thunderbolt is so behind?!

From what I've seen in the developer forums, the Dev's are really having to rework the leaked kernels pretty heavily to get them stable; normally striping out all the garbage HTC is trying to cram into it. So I'm thinking between HTC and verizon trying to cram so much crap in, they can't get it stable enough to release.
just my thought.

im thinking we will get 2.3.5 not 2.3.4. and it should come by the end of the month or in september.

no offense but you would probably be wrong. most of us knew we wouldn't get it until august or so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware they are even using a base derived from Tbolt ROMs for kernels.

2.3.5 i think comes from the nexus s update to fix the signal issues. im sure at the least the tbolt will get OTA 2.3.4.

Nope your probably right. Thought I read that they were using a leaked kernel from HTC, for some of the ROMs/kernels but probably my misunderstanding

Wouldn't hold my breath for the update tbh. With what we're cranking out, people should be content with what's available. If you guys got an OTA 2.3.4 update you'd want it customized anyway so....

Surprise its August where's that update I have been reading about.

They are using leaked RUUs for the base on Gingerbread Sense ROMs, but any custom GB kernels are frankensteined together from different sources I believe. They have to do that because even with an RUU leak we don't have the kernel source from HTC for Gingerbread.

no phone is ever current... the moment it is released another OS/hardware set is going to be announced within a week and that hardware that is not yet on the shelf is already out dated.. it’s just the way things work. And it’s a good thing to. if we had the most current device it would take years for the next generation device to come out and we would slip behind the curve even faster. All that said... it is extremely ridiculous that we are not on the newest OS version given the amount of time this one has been on the shelf.

If you want to blame anything, blame HTC for putting sense on the phone, since they can't keep it updated quickly enough to follow google's software rollout.
Also, there seems to be one of these threads every week. Please go complain to verizon or HTC, not to XDA where most are already running gingerbread, it's far more useful.

I saw this asked on another forum, but couldn't the 4g radio cause any issue? Doesn't make sense since the developers here already have it working, but it seems like the only reasonable explaination..if there was one. Maybe the sensation, dinc 2 or evo3D are the new flagships and therefore thunderbolt is put farther down the ladder?

Most likely the LTE Radio is/was the issue. However, no other LTE phone has GB either so people just complain to complain.

new cm7 is 2.3.5

I've used froyo and gingerbread both. I could be missing something, but does gingerbread bring something to the table that is just so remarkable that we MUST have it? It doesn't seem any faster. I'm not seeing features that are much more than pretty fluff. Some of the features I STILL miss from my Blackberry aren't there in 2.3. It's nice, but I'm pretty much indifferent to it.

How many people are running 2 2 1 with EP1Q radio

I ask this question because I'm running gummy Fe 2.0 with the EP1Q and I'm wondering if i switch back to ee4 radio if ill notice a difference at all
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I'm running gummy 2.0 with the EP1Q radio. No problems whatsoever.
The rom is independent from the modem from what I understand and I have been getting better service with this radio.

I just downloaded the EPQ1 radios yesterday as i was having some troubles with the 4g dropping and have had great signal so far. I will keep an eye on it and report back in a week. Of the phone calls I've made today, all were crystal clear and good volume so fingers are crossed that my problems are solved.

For me, there wasn't much of a difference
Sent from my Galaxy Tab running MIUI

It was better at holding the 4g signal but nothing else has been too noticeable. Still better then ee4, that **** switches between 3g/4g every 10 minutes.

I've been running gummy 2.0 with the epq1 with no problem at all

I'm running gummy 1.9.1 with the EP1Q and it works fine but I hardly noticed any difference at all from the switch.

Who says EP1Q is trouble some, Im loving it. I have been running since I was on 1.9, no voice issues either

I have never hit speeds like this on EE4, ever. Not to mention 4G is more consistent with much less searching

well my issue is that i've been experiencing data drop out like crazy sometimes and ive read of other people experiencing the same issue. i think i'll just reflash the EP1Q radio and see if that helps

For me, EP1Q modem has less data dropouts (4G->3G-1X) for me. Also, if it changes, the transition is fast.

I can also vouch for EP1Q, the data stream is definitely more stable in general, though I haven't really noticed any considerable speed improvements.

I only had the signal totally drop out on me once on EP1Q this past weekend but it quickly came back. Then again, they have said that they sent one of those roving techs to check my area and they have admitted my area needs a tower but they need to get approval from the higher-ups to install one.
Apparently Verizon has been doing a lot of work in my area according to some press release in which they are expanding 4G coverage in my area. They say that by Sept. 15th I should be seeing 4G in more places across my city. All I can say is that I'm happy to see that.
Oh, and I'm glad I have unlimited data since I've noticed that doing any kind of streaming anything, especially NetFlix can eat through data like nothing I've ever seen. That and Slacker Radio can cause you to eat data.

Yeah the GB modems just didn't play well with the speedtest app itself.
However, going to the speakeasy speedtest site via your browser produces accurate results.

What is the baseband name for ep1q modems? I flahsed the q modems but my baseband version stayed the same. Either the flash didn't take or I already had them. Im on gummy2.0

I thought about it, but my system runs perfectly and after looking at what 2.0 gives you I don't really see anything I care about.
I could care less about 7 different lock screens, I did the tweak to totally eliminate the lock screen. I tried the imoseon kernel briefly, but I kinda prefer the more saturated colors and ended up swapping back.
I think over clocking is a waste of time after trying it for a while, so unless I am missing something I don't really see what I would gain from the 2.0 swap although I am certainly open to suggestions??

I'm not sure how it could be any more stable than my system. Mine runs weeks at a time without a single freezeup or reboot if I want.
When you say it is "more polished", are you just talking about visual tweaks??
I must have changed ROMs 50 times when I had a TouchPro 2 and every time it was a noticeable improvement so I'm not opposed to switching for a good reason. My system now runs so well however, I don't really see any compelling reason to update just because a new version is out.

While there is no need to convince you as people can choose to run whatever version of whatever rom they want, I find it curious that you would choose to not update. It seems to me that the type of people that generally visit these forums and mess with their devices are the same type of people that generally want things when they are updated.
That aside...
1.9.1
*Fixed misc theme issues across the overall theme
*Removed AM/PM from the status-bar clock
2.0
*Custom kernel by IMoseyON
*TSMparts for modifications (more information below on usage)
*updated toolbox for simplicity (sorry no GUI 2.0 released at this time)
*updated base Theme (we did switch to a blue to give 2.0 a new look as it feels like a new rom)
*updated dialer completely remade to have the contacts built into the app
The updated kernel provides additional stability fixes and fluidity to the UI.
TSM parts is a very handy tool to have.
the update to the base theme gives the phone a more professional feel to it. (i.e. polish) the dialer is vastly better than the pervious.
Again, if you choose not to update, so be it. I could not care less one way or the other. You seem like an intelligent person, so you would know best what works for you.
To get this thread back on topic....
I am running the ep1q radios but as I mentioned earlier, I cant seem to find how to determine what version you are actually running. My Baseband version did not change when i updated the radios. I would like to say I am getting better performance.. but its hard to know if its the radios, or something else.
Any chance that one of you knows how to determine the radio that is installed?

Actually, I'm usually as you say the kind of person that immediately updates everything as soon as possible. My system runs so well however, I just wasn't sure it was worth going through the PITA of setting up the whole system again.
Now, after reading your post however I may have to rethink that. If the system really will run better/more efficiently etc. I guess you have me getting the itch to update again.... ;-)

Preferred ICS ROM and why

I just updated my firmware and installed my first ICS ROM, i'm interested to know others opinions on why you chose the ROM you did and why you are still running it. Please share. Thanks

Trips CM9. It's proven to be quite stable in my use, good battery life, everything works smoothly. I'm perfectly happy with it.

..everything except camera recording, bluetooth and whatnot.. Alpha quality.

OpenSensation (or something..) because I hate trip, Vquattro stopped and sense sucks.

was using trips cm9 really liked it, fast and stable but just couldn't get mms working so i've gone to insertcoin with shinzlons aosp theme

ARHD 6.2.1 + Rom Cleaner + Shnizlon AOSP Theme. Stable, reasonably fast, good looking. But I'm keeping an eye om the OpenSensation dev thread

None of us have showed hatred towards him. Calm your tits.

I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 but am only using this because it seemed to be the most stable with the features I wanted. However, I am seriously considering VI.
I'd love to install a fully stable CM9, though.

Legends Blitz 5 (nosense) or VI 3.0...because they rock...try a few! Happy Flashing!!

I used almost every ICS rom,and i am now on ARHD 6.2.1,virtuos inquisition is really great rom but after some time it become so laggy,i dont have that kind of problem with sense roms and they look pretty.
When trip solve bluetooth and camera recording i will flash cm9,until then im stuck with these one

Honestly can't go past the Elegancia Rom...IMV I think it is superior to anything I have used before - by a long shot.

I've been on baadnewz's InsertCoin 4.5.4 for the last couple of days and I love it. It was as though the ROM search had done a full circle. The big ass sense flip clock on the home screen of the stock ROM was probably the catalyst that triggered it all. "Dang, could this be the reason for my battery drain?" And so it began, the quest for the perfect Rom. The de-sensed versions were all tried out. They were stable - most of them - but they didn't show incoming calls on the lockscreen. They looked washed out on the sensation screen; maybe it's just me, but AOSP did seem " blurry" on the sensation.
Finally, sense prevailed. I put InsertCoin on, and sure enough, the big ass flip clock appeared bang in the middle of the homescreen. The battery life wasn't that pleasing either. But then, baadnewz had mentioned in his thread to be patient for a couple of charge cycles. Sure enough, today I've not charged my phone, and it's been cruising for the last 8 hours with 30% battery remaining. I've a hunch it'll get better.
I got the sense 4 golden wallpaper, and it looks beautiful.
And the big ass flip clock? Well, I replaced it with the smaller flip clock that has the weather to the right of it.
God bless the ROM developers that are working to make the Sensation a better user experience.

P.S.: The Sense 3.6 email client has the same deficiencies that Sense 3 had. It doesn't support push mail from corporate servers, and the inbox gets only plain text email. The Cyanogenmod email client can be installed, and it is a joy to hear the "clink" when email comes through, and to see them formatted the way they were sent. Baadnewz and the others - are you listening? This could/should be baked into future ROM releases.

what i like with ics insertcoin rom is that it is really fast, compared of course from the other roms i tried before. the smoothness really impressed me from the start and that up to now it still have not received any reboots or even htc fc's, granted i have only been using it for 2 days but i'm just really happy about it. i have really no issue with the battery since its always plugged in usb even when at home.

Why don't you angsty anti-trip pricks find something better to do than troll in any thread in which his name is mentioned? Lots of people like and use his rom. Deal with it, angry assholes.

Your post suggests everything works. Guy steps in and points out that not everything works and you attack him. I see no troll like qualities in his post. Any ROM with non functioning hardware is alpha quality and this is no insult to the dev just a fact. Peace.
I'm enjoying insert coin ROM 4.5.0, along with the leedroid tweaks lite mod. No reason other than it works and baad is quite an active dev. Gonna update version soon but baad releases so often I can't be bothered flashing new ROM for relatively small changes every second day. Every couple of weeks will do me.

[Q] Why so little interest?

There's almost no roms/themes/mods for the Ultra or Maxx. Why is this? Is there no real interest in this phone, or am I looking in the wrong threads?

Locked Bootloader...too many unlocked phones that are technically as good or better for developers to play with. I have the maxx...best phone I've ever had, so I hope someone will start working in it soon as well. There is bound to be someone up for the challenge.

I'm going to take a stab here. There might not be as much development because the demand is not as high as some other devices. I know there is not a huge user base, but also I've heard a lot of folks are happy with just having root access. The stock software is simply good enough. This is how I feel. One of my main reasons for custom Roms in the past was always to get better battery life. That just isn't a concern for me with this phone.

very true, this phone is just great with root.. but then again it would be nice to have a few custom roms to customize it the way we wanted. hopefully it picks up by next year XD

Don't forget new file system, to! A droid Maxx with root is a fairly decent device in and of itself. There are plenty of ways to modify/ customize it, even without root.
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.

Thinking about picking up the Maxx from the LG G2 (and the note 3 before it)
Hows battery life? Honestly.
LG G2 has 3000 mah, and it's not BAD, but I've had every maxx since the OG, whats screen on time, how often do yall charge?

@YoungSkeezy I could get at least 8 hours screen on time in a days worth of use

With root and xposed framework I really don't feel the need for ROMs on my Maxx and Moto X. The stock firmware is just that good.

This phone has a huge user base. It seems us enthusiasts are few and far between. That said, ever since getting my first android phone, the AOSP ROM was my most coveted. The development for my choice in phones was never complete. This phone has taken over in that respect.
I love this thing and don't see a need to switch for a long time.

Great thing about this phone is that the internals are the exact same as the Moto X which pretty much makes any ROM automatically compatible (other than the touch screen buttons).
But as others have said, the stock ROM is so good that it doesn't need to be changed. Don't think I could live without active notifications either.

I noticed that this phone is not even listed on the top phones section and taken off newest phones list. I bought this phone for my daughter as a birthday gift. She loves it . Shes a texting fanatic. Shes gone almost 2 days on a single charge. Checking facebook and tumblr . 7 hours of screen time. My question is why is this not a top phone. Can a Note 3 do this? or the nexus 5? galaxy 4? HTC one?
On side note even if there where roms out there I wouldn't even think of putting one on this phone. I had a chance to fool around with it. It is what a phone should do . Clear calls. Long battery life. Easy UI. I think this phone should be in the top list.

A ROM on this phone is a negative not a positive. Kexec ROMs are glitchy and you would lose the features that make this phone a one of a kind. Like posted earlier xposed turns stock into a custom ROM with no glitchs.

I would say 70+% of ROM development is geared at putting AOSP on devices with terrible overlays. The other 30% is geared at removing garbage features from the aforementioned terrible overlays.
Once the bloat is removed, this phone is as close to AOSP as I've ever seen straight out of the box, and the added features are actually worth having.
I've actually added a few things from Paradigm (our AOSP ROM) to my personal device, but it's not easy to package for the stock ROM slot and runs like crap on Safestrap.
Frankly, i bought this device because it was already exactly what i wanted. I would never buy a locked down phone that wasn't exactly what i wanted to begin with. If it's not for you, you should probably look at trading it out for one with an "active" development community.
