I'm noticing that my 4g is a bit faster, used to never go over 3Mb on speedtest now I'm pulling 6Mb, one thing I don't understand is why the connection says umts and not hspa

You have to install the gb update from LG but before that you need to be on stock unrooted ROM with stock recovery.

I was rooted and with nvflash CWM and two things happen when I did the update through lg updater:
1- uneooted my phone
2- overwrote CWM
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I just flashed the KDZ file, then NVFlashed CWM and restored my ROM. Piece of cake. Now I have new baseband and rooted GB update. Not sure I see any major differences yet though with new baseband
well i just flashed the new update reflashed cwmr then nandroided cm7 and the new base band puts me at full bars in my house where before i only would have 2 and not only that but when i did speedtest i got 7mb dl and 1.5mb ul which is almost double the speed increase than before
The new baseband destroys the old.... signal GPS and battery rock...

One area of variation to note, is that the speed tests I did today seem to be accessing a server MUCH further away, yet results are faster. Not sure what the deal with that is. Maybe one of you with more knowledge in this area can educate me.

Improvement on data throughput, sat signal lock speed and MUCH better battery life.

well with the newer baseband your cell data isnt constantly searching for network, if u go into ur about settings u will see that, well mines isnt like the old baseband was so thus equals better battery life also see quicker speeds
I'm sure the new baseband makes some contribution to the improved battery life, but its not the whole story.
I flashed EB GB 2.3.3 several days ago and am also experiencing insanely improved battery life without the new baseband.

MR2 to me had better battery life
But MR2.5 has better signal strength
MR2.5 drains my battery pretty quick and I've had more random shutdowns from MR2 but only have had one from MR2.5
LOL but with 2.5 for some reason sometimes its like my texts get stuck and when I reboot they come flowing in like crazy all at once and i didn't have that with MR2
I don't know if this helped and all this might not even stem from the radio version and have to do more with kernels and roms but that's my 2 cents

I actually had that text message bug happen to me just this morning on the MR2 radio. I don't think it is necessarily a 2.5 issue or necessarily a radio issue for that matter.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I have reports turned on, or I would have never known to try resetting my phone.

You said MR2 twice lol, which was 2.5?
It's a bit give or take for me. Mr2 transitions a lot smoother and favors 4G even with lesser coverage which I like. Mr2.5 gives me better signal but the issue I have with it is the transition is a tad bit slower, and does favor 3g over 4g if you're on the edge of coverage. Also had issues losing data when my screen is off.

I noticed faster battery drain in mr2.5, but both caused reboots of my phone. I never had reboots until I upgraded to mr2.0. I downgraded back to 1.12.605.6 and now I have reboots. DARN play with something and you break it.

In my opinion bars from right chart are not corresponding to % used on a left side.
For example Screen On reflects that it was On almost all the time but Screen % is only 27.
Plus not sure why do you have black gap in a middle of a graph.
I tried cleanRom and my battery life is normal again. The black gap is hotboot under the restart menu

I am on v1.7 and the thing that helped me get more battery life out of this version of the ROM was to turn off Google NOW. I did this by hitting the mic in the google search bar, go into Setting and turn off google now. Incidentally the voice search functionality still works; when I try something like "What year was Albert Einstein born?", the robotic voice gives me the right answer. lol. Right now I don't have a need for the cards.
I loved Synergy, but the battery ran out much quicker than I would want it to. CleanROM was the best ICS rom for me, battery wise. I'm currently on the official CM10 nightlies and I get decent battery out of it as well.
it's because of spywares exist in custom kernel wich run background all time and use data without permission
If you use your phone on nonstop it drains quickly. I would live to tweak my phone to try to get over 5 hours screen on time. 3.5 hours and higher is good from my experience.

Mine is about the same, Stock and Rooted. Running great though and more smoothly than Stock on Clean Rom 1.3

No, not me. But it may be a hardware issue. My older Droid Charge which was 11.04 on FP1 had a better time with mobile data than this newer Charge which is 11.07 and FP5. Not sure what to do about it yet.
I would say that FP5 + Tweaked 3.0BnBbeta is by far the smoothest experience I've yet had on the Charge. It may stay just like this until I figure out a new phone sometime (probably Jan). I'm currently 'fighting' my daughter over her desire to 'upgrade' from her Charge to an iPhone 4s/5...

Hello fellow Canadians!
I just wanted to collect some information on what Radios/Modems you are using on your Galaxy S2 LTE. The reason is because I am using the UCLF6 Radio and I am having some performance issues on LTE and tethering on LTE so I wanted to know what radios are working for you. This is my current set up. Thanks you for your help!
ROM: Official CM 10.0 Stable
Radio: UCLF6

Canada is pretty big I would recommend narrow it down a little as modems performance for me vary from west side to north east on the island I live (and thats just a 2-3 hour drive) I can't imagine the difference in the whole Canada.
Try UCLI3, it might work better for you. Really though, there isn't much harm in trying them, since switching is pretty painless.

I'm running stock Rogers ICS RUXLF3. Is there really any performance improvements by using any of the other radios? I noticed some people mentioning that the AT&T or Bell radios worked on Rogers - what is the purpose behind flashing another carrier's radio, is there actually an improvement?
I've switched from UCLF6 to UCLI3 but I still get horrible battery performance while in LTE...I've been using CpuSpy to check if the phone is going to deep sleep when not being used, and it is. I get 15-20% drop in battery within 2 hours when phone has an LTE signal. I live in the GTA in Ontario, I get full LTE signal so the phone shouldn't be boosting the amplifier to get a better signal.

Hi, sorry I didn't notice your question until today. I believe when I posted that I was still running cm9.1. Since that I've been trying a few different jellybean Roms, since learning that they are compatible work ics radios.
They seemed ok at first. On RUXLF3 I've tried liquid smooth rc9 and sky jellybean. They both seemed to work ok at first. Great speed on the data. After a while I kept having no call audio and sometimes missing calls. Trying out UCLI3 on cm10. The data seems way slower, but if it's more reliable that's more important to me.
What is anyone else finding? It may have nothing to do with the radio too, I'm trying to figure it out.

I have been using the latest UCLK4 since yesterday and so far it seems a bit better, especially signal strength. I did some speed tests but they were inconclusive.

I'm having great results with RUXLF3 here in London. I get around 30-36 mbps download and 10-12 upload depending on where in the city I am.

if you guys are using a jellybean rom, try the new UCLK4 radio
i was able to get over 60Mbps download in Newmarket! ..on average in Barrie where i work, i get over 40Mbps downloads.

That's pretty awesome! Now how about for actual phone calling? Do you find it pretty reliable? On UCLI3 with Cm10 I'm only getting about 10 mbps download, but the phoning is working reliably. I work in deliveries, so I'm on the phone probably 20-30 times a day, I was having trouble actually making or receiving calls with sporadically on RUXLF3 with two different Roms, so I'm inclined to think the radio may be the cause. It would connect the call, but just have silence on both ends.

I havent had any complaints so far. This radio just came out a few days ago so I havent had many calls.
Ive probably made 5 or 6 calls at about 10 mins each and theyve all been good.

That sounds pretty good. Any chance after a week or so you'd be up for updating how it's working for you? I've just flashed so many Roms and radios in the past week. Flashing restores on the way to a delivery because my phone would stop working and I couldn't call for my next orders, haha. It wasn't fun.
I'm a little hesitant now that something is working, to put another one on it right away, unless people are finding it pretty stable for a little while. Are you up for doing that? Please and thanks.

Sure man. I'll check in again in about a week.

Awesome information! I've been using RUXLF3 on Official CM10 Stable and found it to be ok, haven't had any issues with voice calls. I am going to try UCLK4 and report back as well.
Cheers!
well guys i couldn't do it...
the speed was awesome but the problem i had appears to be caused by this radio

was nice to have mid 50Mbps speeds but i had to switch back and i hope the super speeds didn't spoil me and that i don't start thinking 40Mbps is slow now. haha
seems it's not just isolated to me because i saw someone else posted they had the exact same problem happen in the leaked jb thread.
