You can download and flash the latest EP1W modems here.
Also you can check out the 3g Turbocharger script here.
All the info you need is either in there or linked accordingly. Be sure to read everything in full.
You could always try flashing the Ep1w radio and see if that helps. I personally have not had any signal issues. At home I get full service while my gf sitting next to me has to contort herself in some pretty freakish fashions to get even one bar of service on her Dinc2. I would say the stock radios are pretty good on these phones.

That 3G turbocharger script will likely do nothing for the 1X/3G connection, and in reality, it does nothing for signal strength. It is meant for GSM networks, and can potentially improve you up/down data speed. The best you can hope for when using it is a faster 4G connection.

Ok I've rooted my phone via one click method. I have the rcmix hd 3.4 rotate Rom with leeroids 2.2.4 kernel. So far I love it except ever since I changed from factory default Rom I have no H+ or what I'm under the impression of it being 4G. Instead I'm stuck just a regular H with data arrows underneath. Any ideas for a noob?

Don't quote me here, but I'm pretty sure the afr001 and afr002 ROMs don't have an H+ icon since they are the European Desire HD ROMs. So you may be getting 4G HSPA+, but it doesn't have an icon for it.

I'd bet that is what is happening.
That ROM may only show an H. I know with the one AR ROM i was using it would actually switch between "E", "3G" and "H+" depending on what i was using.
Thanx I think this is very possibly as it seems I have moderately fast connection when off WiFi. Is there possibly an app or a reference to see if the signal strength or speed of connection equates to that of 4G?

Just run a speed test with the app and you'll know right away what's going on.
Where do you live?
The stock AT&T setup shows an H+ icon even when in hsdpa... to let customers think they are getting 4g. Your rom is probably correct in showing you an H for hsdpa, because AT&T only has 4g service in like 6 cities nation wide. So unless you live in one of those cities you're not getting 4g anyway.

Wrong! The phone is using the H+ frequency, now if the backhauling has been done yet is the question.

There is no "H+" Frequency, 2G, 3G, HSPA+, they all use either 850 or 1900. He's right, they have enabled the "+" to show up all the time, even if you aren't getting an HSPA+ connection. It's very deceiving and AT&T is in some hot water right now over their false advertising, google it to see.
Hi
Just wanted to know.... since I am dropping calls so often, can that be ROM-related? Or does that have nothing to do with that?
Because if there is even a slight chance that it is ROM-related, than I will go back to STOCK

I have had signal problems on every Rom I've tried.

I found that cm7 based roms seemed to not switch towers as quickly as stock roms.might just be my device though. I get notably fewer dropped data connections on tsugi.

In my area tmobiles signal sucked.The best rom I found is eagles blood 2.4.I noticed when I tried weapons my wifi and data were very slow.Now I've unlocked my phone and using at&t go phone my signal has been great.I get 2 g but its faster than the tmobiles that I had.No more dropped calls either.

Me too.
Yes, but I broke my screen and have been too poor to fix it to resell. LoL
I have had the same experience so far.
I've not had any dropped calls on any roms I've tried. Currently on Tsugi and even wifi calling is working.
My signal everywhere but home is at least 3/4 bars and I always have 4g speeds >3mbps down.
I live in central Florida, Polk County.
The G2X just seems to be a little bit less robust in low signal situations.... so you will only have a problem in marginal areas usually...
Now I just discovered something odd with mine... If I set to WCDMA only, and force 4G signal, I don't seem to lose signal at all in my apartment. When I had it on WCDMA preferred, it would constantly switch between 4G and 2G modes, and I'd lose signal frequently, even if I was on a call... so it seems to me the problem may actually be in the switching between GSM and WCDMA.... Or just with GSM... need to do further experimentation.
I live in the middle of Orlando, so I really don't think that's considered a marginal area for a signal. Tmo said there was a tower not that far from my house too. I'll have to try the forcing it to 4g next time I am out and about and see how that works... Thanks for the suggestion lotherius.
I am currently using LC1. Seems to improve my wifi reception quite a bit. But cdma and 3g signal still sucks. So just a quick poll for everyone. Which radio to use on ICS, and dl links if you have them. Thanks!!!

Really which is best is very subjective. I have personally never seen a difference with any of them. Theoretically though, the latest one should be the best one. Here is the link to the thread in the development section.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen that thread and tried all except the KD8, I didn't notice a difference with any but LC1. My signal seemed the same but my speed tests were faster at home with the airave. Which I know runs the same 3g speed constantly. . . According to my other phones. The point of the post really was to see if anyone knew of a better radio. In their opinion besides the ones on that list. But I will update after I try the KD8.

No noticeable difference between the two.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
Wifi speeds are not necessarily dependent on the used baseband firmware. Wifi speeds are influenced in fact much more by the used drivers (corresponding shared objects with "so" extension and library files) and its bugs. These drivers are located on the system partition. Official binary blobs containing wifi drivers can be downloaded. The official ROM uses binary blobs (proprietary SW) for wifi operation. Though some custom ROMs may contain open source drivers.

There aren't different radios than those. If you see a different radio not in that list, you should probably not flash it if they're claiming it's for our phone. Obviously a new radio could come out again and there could technically be some radio that never went official but if those make it into the public, the thread would likely be updated and have them.

I was reading through the forums today and read that if you live in a non 4g area, (which I do, there is no 4g in any direction of me within 30 minutes) that you should toggle your system settings from LTE/cdma to cdma... though I have noticed a difference in longevity of my battery, my wifi doesn't work...? It simply says error next to wifi in settings.. lol. Any help/suggestions would be awesome! I'm assuming wifi works off the same radio as the lye and that's my problem???

What ROM/kernel combination are you running? An FP1 ROM with an EP4 kernel, or vice versa, will cause that exact problem.
EDIT: To be clear, Wifi and LTE are completely, 100% unrelated. You'll get the wifi error on a mixed rom/kernel regardless of radio settings.

Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.
I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

I know no one is following this post at this point but I thought I'd post a final update about how i resolved the last issue I mentioned in the post above, just in case someone else has this same issue and searches the forum later.
I fixed my reception with 4G accidentally, i flashed the Lightning Zap v3 kernel to improve battery and lo and behold, reception hand off is fixed!!
