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

I've tried every radio baseband so far except UCKE1...I'm currently using KC1 after extensive testing it seemed to be the most consistent in poor reception areas and on average a little faster than either KB3 or KD1.
Anyone else in Canada have other basebands they prefer? I'm on Wind which I'm sure probably makes a difference compared to Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus.

where did you find the basebands? and which model are you using, cause when i go to about phone... mine is unknown soo i need to find one that works again >.< and is your nexus s the i9020a model? and i dont even know how to get a different baseband....
Your able to get 3G on multiple basebands?
I can only get 3G with one: UCKD1.
Only limited to this one.
You can find basebands Here

Noob question here: I'm unhappy with the voice quality on my Skyrocket. I was wondering if it's posible that flashing a radio might improve the quality at all?
Like the folks are discussing in this forum that I am too noob-tastic to post to?

Thanks in advance - I am on Rogers in Toronto, for what it's worth, and recently flashed TPC v3 in the hopes it would improve the Stock voice quality.
Try the telus radio in this thread, flashable through CWM. I'm using it on Rogers in Brampton and have seen somewhat good results. Please post back and let me know how it went

Nice another user in Brampton. But why use telus radio when you have lte coverage?

What LTE lol? The coverage isn'ttjat great, so it was KILLING my battery, switched to 4g and I'm averaging 24-27 hours battery life now
Hi all.
I just finished picking up my sgs2lte. Really excited about it. I just finished rooting it and now I would like to install an ICS 4.0.4 rom.
My specs are:
SGH-I727R
Android 2.3.5
Baseband I727RUXKJ7
Kernel 2.6.35.11
Build GB.RUXKJ7
I am hoping someone can assist me with this.
What is the best baseband for rogers?
What is the biggest sdcard that I can buy for it? I heard that this device can now accept 64 class10 sdcards, is this true?
Thanks all,
Heeter
I don't think it matters much.
UCLE2 is the recommended modem for most ROMs (Most ROMS will state which modem is recommended), especially the AOSP based ones like CM9 or AOKP. For the most part they seem to be interchangeable.
I have used the UCLE2 and UCLF3 baseband modems with no issues (I believe UCLF3 is the RAT unlocked rogers modem..).
Right now I am using the latest AT&T modem UCLF5, with CyanogenMod 9 (7/02/2012 nightly) and it seems to work just fine.
Are you able to get 4G with your setup?
Thanks for your response, Rabidsmurf
Heeter
Yes, although the phone is somewhat misleading, at least in CM9
The icon will show 3G until in use when it switches to H, I assume this is for power savings or something. Download the speedtest.net app to confirm. On 4G i get around 8Mb/s down and 2.5 Mb/s up.
Additionaly what Rogers calls 4G is HSPA+, if you go to About Phone > Status under mobile network type it should say HSPAP:15 (That is HSPA+ 4G on rogers), conversely 3G is UMTS:3. My phone flips between the two as I mentioned when not in use or in use, could be a ROM specific thing.

Well, mine was saying 4G before the rooting with the factory settings,
But it says UMTS:3 on there now.
I will install CM9, maybe that will make the difference, I just installed the ATT UCLF5 radio, still 3G
Heeter
What ROM are you using?
If it's SKY ICS, in my experience it will always say 4G no matter what (Unless it's LTE maybe).
If you see UMTS:3 try to open an APP that has constant network demands, it might switch while you're looking at it in the status to HSPAP:15, sometimes it's tough to catch it as the phone seems to go idle as soon you go into the menus
I am also in Edmonton by the way.
Hi Rabidsmurf
Was mistakingly on the Chimera rom, but I just reformatted everything and now is using this SKY ICS 4.2F6 with the UXCLF3 radio, now I am getting the 4G signal
Thanks sooo much for helping me out.
Right on, cool, fellow Edmonton dude.
Heeter
No problem.
I was also going to suggest reviewing your APN settings if all else failed. Found a typo earlier with the APN that comes with CM9 rom (caused MMS to not work), guess that's why it's still an Alpha.

lol actually its at the level of an RC, but I digress
I'm using the I727RUXLF3 Baseband on AOKP Build 40 in the Edmonton area as well and it's running great. I see the same behaviour with the switching between 3G/H signal.
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.
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.

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 ...
