MR2 or MR2.5 Radio?

Any suggestions?
What works best?
Which had better battery?

MR2 to me had better battery life
But MR2.5 has better signal strength
MR2.5 drains my battery pretty quick and I've had more random shutdowns from MR2 but only have had one from MR2.5
LOL but with 2.5 for some reason sometimes its like my texts get stuck and when I reboot they come flowing in like crazy all at once and i didn't have that with MR2
I don't know if this helped and all this might not even stem from the radio version and have to do more with kernels and roms but that's my 2 cents

I actually had that text message bug happen to me just this morning on the MR2 radio. I don't think it is necessarily a 2.5 issue or necessarily a radio issue for that matter.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I have reports turned on, or I would have never known to try resetting my phone.
Running Bamf remix 2.1 btw.

Have this exact experience. MR2 rebooted daily. Running MR2 with gingeritis final and had two reboots total. The former being unbearable on BAMF 2.0+

You said MR2 twice lol, which was 2.5?

It's a bit give or take for me. Mr2 transitions a lot smoother and favors 4G even with lesser coverage which I like. Mr2.5 gives me better signal but the issue I have with it is the transition is a tad bit slower, and does favor 3g over 4g if you're on the edge of coverage. Also had issues losing data when my screen is off.

I noticed faster battery drain in mr2.5, but both caused reboots of my phone. I never had reboots until I upgraded to mr2.0. I downgraded back to 1.12.605.6 and now I have reboots. DARN play with something and you break it.

Aren't they both the same? Im pretty sure jcase wrote it somewhere that their identical. I could be wrong. I didn't even bother with MR2.5 for that reason.

yea I decided to try 2.5 but I am probably going to go back to 2.0 because 3g likes to show itself more often with 2.5 so I had to go into the radio settings and tell it lte mode only to tell 3g to gtfo

Old baseband vs new baseband?

You have to install the gb update from LG but before that you need to be on stock unrooted ROM with stock recovery.

I was rooted and with nvflash CWM and two things happen when I did the update through lg updater:
1- uneooted my phone
2- overwrote CWM
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I just flashed the KDZ file, then NVFlashed CWM and restored my ROM. Piece of cake. Now I have new baseband and rooted GB update. Not sure I see any major differences yet though with new baseband

well i just flashed the new update reflashed cwmr then nandroided cm7 and the new base band puts me at full bars in my house where before i only would have 2 and not only that but when i did speedtest i got 7mb dl and 1.5mb ul which is almost double the speed increase than before

The new baseband destroys the old.... signal GPS and battery rock...

One area of variation to note, is that the speed tests I did today seem to be accessing a server MUCH further away, yet results are faster. Not sure what the deal with that is. Maybe one of you with more knowledge in this area can educate me.

well with the newer baseband your cell data isnt constantly searching for network, if u go into ur about settings u will see that, well mines isnt like the old baseband was so thus equals better battery life also see quicker speeds

I'm sure the new baseband makes some contribution to the improved battery life, but its not the whole story.
I flashed EB GB 2.3.3 several days ago and am also experiencing insanely improved battery life without the new baseband.

The majority of the juice used by your phone is for the radio. Then the screen, and then the processor.

[Q] CM7 - does it help signal reliability?

First thing's first - I can honestly say I love this phone. I've had it for almost 2 months now and have never had a complaint... Sure, the signal doesn't always look good on the bars, but I've yet to drop a call and reception has always been good .... I thought...
Two days ago I noticed that under the battery consumption it showed that I was without signal 92% of the day while in the office. I had never been told that anyone was unable to get me on the cell until I asked around after that. Slews of people said they call me but it always rolls to voicemail.
I did at least 2 dozen test calls yesterday and what I'd say that it was alarming at best when only two of those calls actually rang through.
When I got home I watched the signal meter closely and reset the % of time without signal by fully charging the battery. At home I have 3 bars consistently. Come 9PM, which was about 3 hours off the charger, I was without signal 58% of the time. Again, I asked around to my usual callers - four people had tried to call me and all went to voicemail. I severely questioned that, until I called my voicemail and each of them had left messages - and I had not received a voicemail waiting indicator.
SO...
All of that having been said - is it any better with CM7 ? The phone is rooted and ready to play, but I am hesitant to install a pre-beta build on the phone when I depend on it for work.
Thanks so much for any feedback!

If you want a better phone, install b_randon14's mod. I wouldn't recommend cyanogenmod quite yet.

I have the same problem. My girlfriend tried to call me when she was getting harassed by 3 drunk college students. Never rang. From the times I have checked my battery usage, it never said anything about not having a signal. Would b_randon's MOD fix this issue?
Edit: I take it back, just took a look and it said 86%

Well never mind my suggestion, looks like the mod was pulled. Data with the phone has never been perfect exactly, but that mod was theoretically meant to improve on those things. You'll probably have to ask b_randon14 himself whether it'll be re-uploaded in full or in part...

Not really an option for me... When I'm at work, our wireless network here requires EAP-FAST, which is not available for Android. I've got a way to connect in, ONLY if I bring in my Win7 laptop with me, and that's using an app called Connectify that turns my laptop into a WiFi router, then again, I'm a slave to the network nazis here in the office. They have the ports here locked down - HARD.

Not sure yet. Don't even know what base roms are available for this phone yet. Don't even know if there's a 2.3.x available for this. Still too new. But, probably going to be based on official firmware for the triumph.

Right now the only 2.3 ROM available is the pre-alpha CM7...
That having been said, this phone's GSM cousin has a 2.3 ROM available from it's carrier, but I'm sure it would take a TON of work to re-work that into something we could use.

Finally got around to taking a screen capture of the miserable amount of no signal that I get...
I apologize for the crappy screen cap - guess DroCap2 doesn't like this phone!

Dual channel HSPA

Just wanted to share that using the Telus modem on the skyrocket leads to better speeds on HSPA for me. Reason being that the Telus modem has dual channel HSPA enabled so it should theoretically hit speeds of 42 mbps.
The modem can be found here. It is the Telus KJ3 modem.
This would work fine for both Rogers and AT&T users since Telus operates on the same frequencies. Share your experiences below if you try this please!

Thanks! i will give it a go.
Is it just thst radio or other tmo radios as well? i have been using kj7 ...will try the other

Am interested to see the results of your testing. Rogers and at&t don't have dual channel hspa on their network. Bell telus and T-Mobile do.
I use this modem on my device because I am on bell with good results.
However, I also use it as there is no lte in my area. If you use this modem you will not have lte as its not in there.

I don't have LTE in my area anyways so it doesn't matter. Rogers I think does have dual channel HSPA because the galaxy tab or some of the other stuff they sell uses it.

So does this modem support lte?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Nope they may use similar devices but have the functionality turned off since they dont support it.
I.e. the HTC raider (vivid) check out the specs of the rogers version vs bell both the same except the hspa speeds (21 vs 42)
At the same time. It doesn't hurt to instal it only when you venture into an lte are. For that I keep The rogers/att radios on my SD card so I can just flash them on.

I have two. Not sure my battery life has been up and down overall. but it seems ok. on hspa does burn a bit faster than before. when you are on wifi everything is good.

Will the Skyrocket on T-Mobile be able to use their LTE network?

Just as the title says...will my skyrocket using a T-Mobile radio get LTE on T-Mobile's network? In case you don't already know they just fired their LTE network today and I'm really wanting to see if it will benefit us. Thanks!
Sent from my Skyrocket using XDA Premium

The only answer I can come up with is maybe.
T-mo is running LTE band 4 (1700MHz), which the Skyrocket is capable of, but who knows if it will actually work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I swear its capable of it, but only in AWS. The only LTE frequency it supports as far as I know is 700

Alittle while back, someone posted a screenshot of an AT&T Note 1 getting LTE on T-Mobile. So, in theory, it should work. But, I am yet to see word from anyone since w/ an AWS LTE radio device originally running on AT&T getting it to work on T-Mo's LTE. I'm in SF, but maybe the next time I visit San Jose, I'll flash an AT&T radio, or perhaps the 757m radio from Bell, and see what happens.

I think it should work because as far as I know here in Canada providers use 1700 for LTE, I don't think 700 is available for use yet up here. Rogers S2 LTE works on 1700 for LTE. To make it work you would probably just have to use the default AT&T radio or possibly load the Rogers radio, The only issue you will have is traveling to areas that use 1700 AWS for 3G & don't have LTE yet, you will be stuck in 2G.

Any luck?? I tried flashing the 757m radio but I had issues with data connection afterwards.... I have T-Mobile late now in my area and I would really like to get it on my skyrocket.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I think if you're using a skyrocket it would make more sense to use a skyrocket i727 native radio file like the one rogers has UXUMA7 and then find T-Mobile lte enabled APN information and just create a new APN for T-Mobile LTE.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Actually I tried exactly that radio and had same issues... I believe that my issues actually may be related to the fact that the T-Mobile radio I flashed includes ril files and the others do not...
By the way why would flashing a native radio make more sense than a radio that enables all bands that our hardware is capable of??

Because it's a radio developed specifically with our phone in mind, optimizing it's performance, minimizing risks for failure etc. On the other hand i would also like all the bands to be enabled.

Did you change your apn settings at all?

Ok...
Stock UCMC1
Bell I757m radio
fast.tmobile.com apn
I got some faster results in some areas but didn't screenshot them..
I'm so happy with that combination....I'll be sad to lose the good current connection when I'll be back to KY, T-Mobile is no where fast there..

I actually did a few things then flashed a TMobile rom and alternate radio. My I727/T989 averages 10-12 mbps download speeds and 2-7 upload. Not that it's all that important a thing in life. I mean like, I gots stuff to do other than worry about data. I don't obsess er nothing. :cyclops:

Just for reference I ran a speed test on LTE.... 11mbps and 2mbps is good tho... Jk man

Anyone running SKYICS or CM 10.1 nightlies and getting LTE on t-mobile? Any other radios besides the I757m working for t-mobile's LTE?

T-Mobile Roms for ATT Skyrocket?
Rehab4Life said:
Just as the title says...will my skyrocket using a T-Mobile radio get LTE on T-Mobile's network? In case you don't already know they just fired their LTE network today and I'm really wanting to see if it will benefit us. Thanks!

I heard of people using T-Mobile ROMs on their ATT skyrocket. I was trying to figure out the procedure for doing that. I have pretty much used every ROM there is for skyrocket and I would like to try something I haven't already. Do you just flash it normally? Or is there something extra you have to flash? Like a modem/radio? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
