Does a "radio" effect your network connectivity?

I have the inspire 4g and just recently rooted and uploaded a custom rom to my phone. Before I did so I was getting 4g connectivity(hspa+) now the most I get is hsdpa. If anybody knows anything about this please reply!

Another radio
The radio definitely affects the network quality and type. The radio is the most regional part of any ROM. You should try a few different radios and see which gives you the best signal/battery life.
PS - I'm an SGS owner so can't suggest which radios to try.

which radio for UK Three network

Hi,
My radio is messed up. I have really bad reception in London with my (formerly ATT) Skyrocket
Using Sean's SKY-ICS mod and maybe someone else uses SR in London's Three network and can advise on which radio I can use. I tried them all but can't get a certain answer
I did a search on the forums but couldn't find anyone using Three in London
Thanks in advance

I have very poor 3G reception in Hong Kong too but 2G is okay. The received 3G signal is about 5-10 dbm lower than my Nexus. I have tried most of the radios on various forums but still couldn't solve the problem.
:crying::crying::crying:

Get the rogers radio UXCLF3 and use the *#2263# command. In there choose specific frequency and check your reception until you find a proper one. Sometimes the skyrocket frequency handling is a bit messed up. If you can't find a good frequency just try each of the radios in Seanz's thread and you still can't manage to get a proper signal you can try going to Hercules forums and try their modems.

[Q] Best NS radio for Rogers?

Hi all,
Wondering what would be the best baseband radio to use for Rogers on my NS?
Thanks

Hi,
Bump,
Thanks

It doesn't only depend on the network but on the area. And that's down to a very precise point depending on how many cell towers are in your area and how good your signal is. Try all of them and see for yourself, in other words.

Personally, I find the i9020A only radios the best. I'm on rogers in montreal

Well I have tried the KJ1, KB3, KF1, all not too stable.
I am on a KD1 right now. Seems to be holding it's weight so far.

[Q] Flashing T-Mobile radio onto at&t skyrocket

I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection.
I flashed the radio UVLI1 in hopes that I would get lucky but that caused my bars to go away to be replaced by a slashed circle. I flashed back to UCMC1 which is showing the bars, but still no data connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out. Any help please?

Don't double post

I think UCMC1 and UXUMA7 are ATT and Rogers radios respectively. UVLI1 is the T-Mobile SGS2 ICS radio, which may not work on your JellyBean rom.
Try UVMC6, which is the radio for T-Mobile's SGS2 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
Results can never be guaranteed, but this is the radio I use, and it has worked fine on every single rom I've tried, Touchwiz or AOSP, even in areas w/o the 1900Mhz refarm.

Can I flash the radio change w/out having my phone rooted?

Your phone must have a custom recovery to flash radio files...

It has twrp... that counts right? It doesn't need to be rooted, does it? I'm a computer nerd... phones aren't my thing. Give a girl a break, lol.

Yes ... TWRP or CWM are fine...
Rooting is something different, but for radio flash you have enough...

Would you mind telling me how I flash it or point me to a thread that will walk me through it quickly? Please & thank you!

Nevermind! I think I figured it out!

If I have a AT&T skyrocket and have a T-Mobile sim, should I use this radio? Or just stick with the UX, I am currently running?

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).

The UX gave me faster data speeds. Call clarity is about the same. I see 4G more than with the UC radio... I was wondering about the T-Mobile radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

T-Mobile radios would give you the ability to connect to T-Mobile 3G using AWS bands 1700/2100 Mhz Band4...And no LTE (or 4G) of course since the Hercules and Blaze (or the note one from TM) devices have no LTE radio chip...
If you live in an area in which T-Mobile deployed their new LTE(and most likely they already refarmed the PCS 1900 band), use UCMC1 or the UXMA7 radio,whichever you find better...Setting the apn to fast.t-mobile.com is essential for sure to get the service...
If you live in an area that T-Mobile is still at their 3G service (AWS bands for HSPA+) use the newest blaze JB radio...
Edit : when you say faster data speeds UX vs UC , any speed vs speed measurement you can share ? probably I didn't give each radio enough testing and jumped to conclude that they have same data speeds !

:good:

SGH-T727 has no high speed data!? Help please?

Hello. This may be a redundent problem and question thats been asked many times im sure. My in advance apoligies for I am new to this whole rooting and reprogramming with modified os andriod systems. I have a problem and if anyone can help or guide me in the proper directions, I would so greatly appreciate it. Let me first share what I have and what my issue is. Then any info you mau have I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I have a att version samsung galaxy s2 Sgh-t727 skyrocket. I have factory unlocked it to use with my current local carrier Cincinnati Bell. It works with cin bell just fine in making calls. However, at best the internet is only E or G. I do have all apn settings correct. I think the problem is in the radio frequency there is a difference between the 2 service providers on thier technology way of connecting to 3 and 4g. Cinbell uses umts, wcdma, hspa and hsdpa with a bandwith of 1700 and 2100 mghz frequency connections. This att uses lte I believe. So since theres no lte service in my area offered, I believe the phone reverts to Edge gsm at best. Cincinnati Bell uses the same technology as T-Mobile as ive been told and they share the same towers in this region of ohio Kentucky and indiana. So with that said, is it possible this particular phone has all the proper connections and bandwiths but is locked to the original provider of the phone....being att in this case? And if it dont have all the proper frequency and bandwiths, then how do I flash it with T-Mobile radio signals and network technology so it can run using 3 and 4g speeds? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thanks so much. Everyone have a great weekend.

I'd try some T-Mobile radios. See vincom's stickies.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Search for the following radios and try them :
I757MUGMC5
UVMC6
UVMB1
Try one after the other... Flash in cwm or twrp recoveries.Wipe cache after each radio flash and see what radio can give you the best results..
Wait on each radio for some time (let's say 15min) after reboot to settle down...
Double check your APN settings..
Your issue is exactly like somebody wants to use skyrocket on T-Mobile.. There's is big thread discussing that matter in the general section...
Good luck..
PS:Sometimes using a T-Mobile T989 rom probably would give you higher rates of success, especially your issue is the AWS bands in HSPA+
PS2:As a disclaimer , you're the only one who's responsible for any damages that may happen to your device , especially when dealing with radio and kernel , and as a side note , why Cincci Bell ? unless you have a strong reason (price,reception,etc..) I would think about T mobile itself , they are doing a good job in both expanding their LTE network as well as expanding their refamred 1900MHz spectrum which makes usage of stock AT&T radios possible , I use my Skyrocket on T mobile and get their LTE reception on UCMC1 without the hassle of trying radios and what not ...
