as far as i know the stock radio gives you the best signal as it come stock for ur particular region..
you hv a full fledged radio section and tutorials and guides in the indx as well...
all i want to say is test a radio for atleast 3 days... and you cn choose watever u lyk..
If u using Vodafone get a signal booster cause when I was working for them offered many customers free of cost....

Anyone using a Radio other than the one provided by Stock Inspire?
Which one?
Any benefit to doing so? Does audio quality suffer?

I tried the M2 radio but I kept changing back to 3g all of the time. when I flashed back to the ATT stock radio I got hsdpa all the time.
I'm using the m3. Seems like my battery is lasting alot longer even with heavy usage. I played Angry birds for about 45mins and only lost like 8%. Signal stunk at first but has gotten better since I flashed it. Audio quality was tinny until I ran the audio fix then it sounds about the same as it does after flashing a rom..
I use M2 but no problems so far. Audio is good! It does switch to 3g but ironically its just about the same in speed. More of an annoyance than anything. Usually happens when I'm in areas with poor reception or interference like my campus for some reason.

I bounce back and forth between stock and M2. I agree that M2 bounces back and forth between H and 3G a lot, but I have a lot of screenshots being connected to "3G" that are showing speeds of 2mb down/1.5mb up...so I agree that it's more of an annoyance than anything. Not to mention I'm only connecting to GSM now so I only get Edge, since most of the time when it connects to WCDMA it will eventually stop allowing me to make/receive calls. So only using GSM, I almost always have 4 bars with M2, audio sounds the same on all of the radios I've used.
I am using 26.06.03.24_M2 and will try to leave it alone for a full week to test it in various areas that I go to. Seems OK so far......
Just flashed m3 took a while to figure out how since I have a Mac.

Gunny what r ur findings using m3.. I've been using stock so far and its been good to me... but using cm7rc2 with mad murdock battery fix my battery life is still horrible so i was thinking bout switching due to the rumor that m3 provides extended use.... thanks
haven't been on it long enough to say for sure, about battery life, but it may be a little better.
I have been using M2 and find the battery life to be terrific - better than stock.

Agreed. I have flashed m2 and i see a major battery difference.
Anybody know if theres a difference between these two radios, or are they the same with a different name?
12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2
and
12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24_M2
I am using M3 seems to be btter then M2 .

A T-Mobile phone (assuming that's what you have) won't get 3G on AT&T's network because the frequencies T-Mob use for 3G differ from AT&T. I don't think a radio will change that.
I pretty much knew you were going to say that (ugh)....that's why I'm curious as to a possible Desire or Inspire radio? I also failed to mention.....this is NOT a windows phone anymore!...NAND cleared, rooted, unlocked & curently using TyphooN_CM7_v2.60 andriod 2.3.3 - fantastic build BTW! Do you think I may need to create the MediaNet APN ? along side the ATT APN already in use?
Wont change the fact that your phone lacks the frequencies to use 3g. It lacks the proper hardware.

There are so many topics and discussions on this...is there one radio that is actually better than others based on my phone, location, and other things? I have the nexus s 3g on Tmobile in Ohio...thanks!

hmmm , i am not in USA, so i can not tell you which radio is better
but only someone who lives same location as you who can tell you , but OHIO is not small place ...
so , you should try it yourself, personal ideal , newest might be better , such as XXKF1 for me is better then others.
Is radio flashing done through Odin in the phone portion? Been thinking of doing this to try and find a more stable radio. Playing battlefield is impossible. My ping bounces around way too much. Wish it would stay at a steady 90.

Found a ROM I'm happy with. Energy 2.08 base 3.5 Sense rom.
I'm wondering what the best radio to use in the UK would be? I updated to the 10.58 radio ages ago and wouldn't risk going back to 10.56. Noticed today I'm only getting 3 bars of signal in a strong coverage area. T-Mobile. Use to get constant 5 bars easily so I'm wondering if its just a ROM and radio mismatch?

Hi,
The best radio is the one that works.
If you used to get a better signal with 10.56,then that is the best one for you.
You have to try a few radios before you find the right one,and test it on various ROMS.
You will eventually find the best combination of ROM/radio.
I'm getting confused with RILs too. Do they get applied when flashing a custom ROM? Because I've never updated those since using the gingerbread RUU months ago. I swear this stuff was more straightforward on the old Desire.

The RIL (Radio Interface Library) can be very important, it might just be that the RIL you are using has all the right instructions in it anyway for the radio you are using, I suggest you always flash the correct RIL for the Radio you are using.
Guides - ROMs - Kernels - Radios & RILs - MODs
I was told that better radio frequencies in my phone will give me a better signal,faster phone speeds.Is there such a thing and does it work?and is it hard to do this?Are there ways to booster gets a better signal out of your sensation?Could someone lead me in the right direction. Thanks...

This thread will help you... Be really careful about flashing radio though... It can brick a device... I cant advice you on how to do it since its been along time i flash a radio.. its a combination of ril version and radio tgat can give better signal... This thread talk about best combination on each area... Whats best for the others might not be best for your location, the way to find out whats best for you, is to test it... Again, be really careful...

Hey guys I would just like to get some feed back.
I am in the Philadelphia south jersey area and I was wondering
What radio was giving you guys the best performance if there is such a
Thing. Thanks in advance..
There isn't such a thing. There are so many environment variables that 2 people living next door to each other could have completely different experiences on the same radio.
Just try them all and find what is best for you.

The best radio is the one that works best for you.

After flashing a new radio, what is the easiest way of determining if it working better than a different version? Signal strength?

Depends what you mean by "better". For some it is signal strength. For others it is less standby. Others, battery usage. Hard to say. I would imagine you will just know...

Hey guys, thanks for your input.
Can I use Flashify to easily flash the different radios?
