Hello I have a question about flashing the new radio/ rpm. Would it effect my ROM which is currently Eclipse? Basically would it be okay to go from HE to the J1? Thanks!
yes your fine.

I appreciate the quick reply Thanks
Also has anyone used the radio/ rpm? If so has there been any notice in better reception/ battery power? Thanks guys!!!
Likely half of the community has used it. Everyone's phone experience is different relative to their environment and where they live.

For me it was a great improvement in stability of my 3g connection. I'm in Eclipse as well.

Everyone definitely seems to be getting different results. Both the I5 and J1 radios put me into roaming. I would have to reboot to convince the phone I was not roaming, then an hour later I was roaming again.
I am back to HE for now.

Use whatever modem works best for your area and tower situation. I have full time 4G so they all work. Affects 3G to a greater extent. Almost all 4G towers are new.

This has been extensively discussed and is a known issue with ALL gingerbread ROMs.

Is cm7 a modded gingerbread rom? I saw krylon is working on it in the rootzwiki but I dont know much about it.

It's cool I got back at you. Muahaha.
CM7 is a modded version of AOSP, it's gotta be built from source for different phones.
CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones.

My .02 : I am also on gb 2.3.4 hk1 and show poor signal strength, but I can still connect via wifi even when it says I have no signal. So I believe its just an issue of the graphical signal representation not matching the actual signal strength that you have.

No its a actual signal problem becuase i did a wifi speed test and got under 1mb when i usually get 15+ mb so its not a graphics error. But im sure someone will solve it soon.

Click on the "Modems" link in my signature, you can download it from there.
Dsexton do you wanna share that fix? A lot of us still run ROMS other than ICINB. WIFI full strength on GB should be released to the masses(or at least me!)
As Always Thanks

I never said i had the fix and if i did of course it would be released, ha!
Things dsexton has released to the masses:
Ext4
Overclocking passed 1.3
Figured out how to flash a rom with cwm
Rooted gingerbread
Smoothest tweaks around
If i find something major the masses will have it

The wifi reception was purposely handicapped for security/privacy reasons. It has a comparable range with any other handheld device.

I am 7 feet from my router with my sgs4g running a leaked gb. Valhalla to be exact. I have 1 bar on wifi. In comparison my g2 with its official gb release had full signal. I would not consider that comparable.

So did some research an found phone info the app, but have heard negative things regarding it. Are there any other 4G toggles available? If not, is there any that exist in custom roms or rooting? So far this phone on 4G has battery life of my nexus on 3g. So that's very impressive but it'd be nice to turn it off to save battery when needed.

Not really. This phone has an alarming amount of data issues. It seems that once you turn 4G off you won't be able to get it back unless you restore a nandroid. The only way to safely turn off 4G is to turn off mobile data altogether.
Damn. That is pretty disappointing to hear. I hope that they fix this or some dev is able to correct it. Very annoying.

So if I'm just running stock rom, I should be fine to use phone info?
I haven't had any issues, and I am running Synergy 1.6 so yeah I think it is safe to use.

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

Thank you for the suggestion, I flashed it last night and so far so good. :thumbup:
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!!

I had great reception the other day (I've always had great signal where I live) and now I don't even get roaming. Any idea as to what could be causing this?
P.S. Profile and PRL have been updated and phone has been wiped twice.
Thanks in advance!

Hello I've been trying to find a answer to my problem for a while, but can't seem to find any help. So to start off I unlocked my s2 I've flashed 3 different roms and a few different T-Mobile radios, but my data is very poor sometimes it works sometimes not it constantly drops if anyone can offer some advice I'd really appreciate it.
As of now my sgh-i727 is unlocked running on cm10 superlite and the telus radio.
Sry if this has been answered b4 I'm new to the dirrent radios

It probably also depends on your location, too. In the Bay Area and LA, SlimBean w/ a Blaze (LB7) radio has worked just fine for me.
Thanks. I've read over that post a few times. I was using blaze lb7 for a bit but then I started to test others once the data drops and very poor speeds occurred. Also I live in MS I generally have great reception.

I'm lucky to get a 1meg down and up when it actually holds the data signal. I'm actually on straight talk but with the ST tmo sim as my back up phone is the LG g2x. Maybe I didn't flash correctly, but I have tried flashing multiple times and no which radio or rom combo its the result slow speeds and constant drops. Another note my g2x fantastic in my area in ST

Well so far after flashing both radios then ROM after a full wipe of course I'm noticing a big difference. Speed test results were a lot better as well I'm gonna keep test driving it for a while and make sure it keeps going strong

I seem to get better data speeds on stock-based ROMs. I'm running cm10.0.0 just because I prefer it over stock and I can deal with the slower speed.

One little update I have noticed that my data switches a lot between E/3g/H+ data still works but I have noticed its draining the battery rather quick. My g2x does not show these symptoms my signal stays strong in my house with it.
