[Q] What is the best radio for the Inspire 4g

I was wondering what is the best radio for our Inspire 4g's? I am not sure myself, and I haven't been able to find much if the inspire 4g is cross compatible with the Desire HD besides, roms and kernels. I am wondering mainly if I can install the radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M from the desire HD forum. I am not sure if it compatible or had any side effects / negative reprecussions.

You'll find that some say that a m2 or the m3 radio give you better battery life but I think that might be a placebo effect. I have the m3 which i have no problems with but I am saying that my good battery life goes towards the CM7 build 28! The radio may have something to do with it. If it does, it's very small if any.

That is the leaked gingerbread radio? I am running Coredroid v3.2 with leedroid kernel v2.2.8. I flashed that radio just experimenting. For me I had amazing signal better then the m2 and m3, but my battery life drained away like it was cool. Not doing anything on my phone (full charge no wifi no bluetooth, just data). Cell standby used about 20% of my battery in about 3 hours. With the m2 and m3 my cell stand by is around 11% after 15 hours.

I use 26.06.04.14_M on Android Revolution 3.2 and I can't complain. Before that, I used the radio from attn1's root kit and had shotty reception. Since the upgrade, I've had full service. Don't let bars lie to you though. Check your signal strength in the "about phone" section of the settings menu. Watch the dB's - the close to 0, the better.

Going to flash 26.06.04.14_M as recommended in the revolution thread. How do you find battery life on it cblock? I'm very happy with the battery life on the stock radio that came loaded from at&t but I've dropped a few calls today which isn't normally a problem for me, hoping for a stronger signal from the new radio.
Side note, anyone know how to check what band the phone is running on, 850 or 1900?

What RADIO did you settle on and what result?

See post 1414 on this page. Hands down best radio I have used so far. I am in Florida if that really makes a difference. See pictures of GPS and Speeds. Not to mention the best rom IMHO.

Hey my bad... Forgot to check back
Battery life is fantastic, especially if you're running Gingerbread. (I'm on cm nightly 32)
Here's the radio:
http://xda.ckgaming.co.uk/db_mirror/Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.zip
All I can say is do the homework on flashing radios!

Yeah that's the Generic Gingerbread Radio. I flashed it about six hours ago. I have two Inspire's, too. One stock Radio and one with that radio. Where the Stock Radio is getting -110dbi 11asu, this new one gets -93dbi 4asu. Same location.
Not sure what asu is, though. But I do understand the db measurement.

My bad. I was looking at that thread in another tab. Trying to get the best signal I can in Atlanta.

help please....
I have an htc inspire 4g unlocked on t-mobile but sometimes the signal just desapears and comes back am wondering what radio would work better any help please...

Jeebus...guys I'm learning all this and having fun flashing new ROMS and trying to find one I can live with for more than a day
Other than my StreakDroid, I've flashed a few custom roms on my wife's captivate and now have the Inspire 4G and love it.
I keep reading ROM's that need Eng S-Off..with tutorials and guides. Then I read how dangerous it can be. I'm considering it and wasn't sure where else to ask this...but is it that risky?
Will the benefits be that much better by doing it? Can I get most custom ROMs to work with stock radio? I really want to do this, but damn, my wife's gonna kill me if I mess up another phone.

I just got my inspire today and rooted it and I'm running CM7 RC4 but flashed the radio listed in the forum but my upload speed still sucks at about 100, am I missing something

This is how I flash radios. works flawlessly. No need for eng-s off this way.

I can't get any high than 150 up, and I am running cm7 and this radio as well. I have tried 2 other radios and had same issue. I never tried a speediest after first rooting, so I have no idea if I ever got better uploads.

I am getting -83dBm in columbia SC running the same radio.

WiFi tether problems? Fixed mine like this.

I am on 3.1 beta 6
Mine did not work until I changed the device profile to Thunderbolt in settings.
Then I changed a few other settings such as
Force WiFi driver reloading (check) *has worked for some*
Routing fix (check) *most important one*
Disable wake-lock (unchecked) -> *this is why you lose connection after your screen turns off*
Hope this helps get a few of you tethering again. I am using jdk new source sense based 1.0 kernel but have tested this on Imo 3.8, 4.1 and 5.0 and worked just fine.
4g was blazing fast to my Droid inc tethered to my Thunderbolt without the 4g power drain.

I've never understood that setting and it's default like that. Even Cyanogen copied it.... Why do you have to keep 'using' your phone in order to keep the screen on so that WiFi doesn't shutdown ? Android can multi-task, can it not ?
If there is active usage on WiFi, it should NOT shut off. But it will...

I was told there isn't a way or app to tether w/o getting charged by Verizon anymore.
I'm on stock, but I'm rooted. Is it possible? Best apps? Thank you.

I just use default CM7 by ProTekk (Find it under "Unofficial Cyanogen Builds" with Rom Manager). The built in tethering (Both USB & WiFi) works like a charm for me without having to utilize 3rd party apps.

Thanks for the post! Picked up a Thunderbolt recently and spent the last couple days trying to get android-wifi-tether to work. The last piece of the puzzle for me was checking "Routing fix" per your suggestion.

thanks for this thread,I just picked up a thunderbolt also, got tired of my iPhone 4 .. I have been trying to tether for the last day, going to try this out now.

Anyone else having speed issues in AP mode? Ad-hoc works well but in AP it is painfully slow (sub-3g speeds). I've tried every combination of settings in wifi tether and no luck..

Can't figure out the problem yet, but i can't get 4g tether speeds (or connectivity half the time) from any 605.5 based rom. Yes i checked for tetherguard.apk to make sure that wasn't my issue. Even the newest AOSP roms (which i know aren't based on that) won't let me get a good connection. I have since reverted back to a 605.3 and 605.0 based and are not having problems. I also tried multiple combos of roms/radios too to see if i could narrow it down and haven't found anything significant. Its possible its just my phone being screwy as i haven't had any of the reboot issues to its about time for some problem! Its working for me now, but if anyone finds out anything about it, let me know, i wouldn't mind testing it.

Yea, thats what i used to get with all, but can't seem to with the newest sense or AOSP roms/kernels and newest radios but can fine with older roms/kernels/radios. Same settings. I'm just lost at what else to try. Like i said, quite possible its my bolt hating me.

I would just move back I don't like sense 3.5 on this phone. Sense 3.0 work just fine with everything I want working. Sense 3.5 is fun to try but it is not made for this phone. To much stuff needs to be tweaked for it to function with all the extras we have gotten use to. It's kinda like Droid incredible running sense 3.0 it was slow and sense 3.5 is even slower on that phone. I will stick with Bamf forever since its a smooth ROM and everything i need works on this ROM. Battery life is same as stock if not a little better I can get 10 hours of constant use with WiFi or 3g but anything more is pushing it. Bamf makes great roms but i don't see 3.5 as a daily driver for me. Maybe once rezound launches we will get something that works better with our phones well my phone. 3.5 had that worse battery and most laggy of any roms I have tried and did everything i could think of to tweak it. I tried all 3 roms out at this point, Son of a bliss, invigorated, and gingerbliss

Yeah, i moved back prior to posting. Weird things i have notices are prior to 605.5 the settings you had worked, as thats what i've been using. I went to a stock 605.5 and to killsense and neither of those worked with those settings. So i started messing around with settings and found that the reload wifi drivers unchecked alleviated my problems. Wifi tethered, laptop was ranging from .4 - .6 down, now is back to the old 17-28 down. So if its not working for someone else, toggle settings till it does work.

thanks, bud! it works great for me.

Worked as stated...thanks!

Thanks for all your work on this. Is this app written by you?
Is there any version of this app in the Marketplace?
Do you know the original source of this app?
You may pm if it is a secret. It looks fantastic but I don't like putting something on my phone if I have no idea what its source is. I know too little about code from unknown sources to "trust it". I've never really seen any app or rom discussed in which the developer's ID (or at least internet ID) was a secret.

Latest Radio and RIL won't work...

So I'm running CM7 (S-OFF) and I upgraded to the latest radio 12.62.60.27P_26.13.04.19 M.zip and I then flashed the correlating RIL (HTC-RIL 2.2.0179HM (Aug 17 2011,15:24:58)) in CMW (and I remember to mount "system"). When I do this however, I get a X over my signal strength and when I go into Wireless & networks I see that "Airplane Mode" is enabled and is unable to be disabled (when I uncheck it it says "loading" or something but never changes). I basically have no signal... and RIL infos displayer shows this... only a RIL, no radio...

When I flash an older RIL or just don't flash any RIL at all and leave CM7's default I have a signal and RIL displayer shows this...
I'm really at a loss for why that RIL won't work... I have a dual APN setting and a GPS fix I flash but I believe I've tried to get this working with those defaulted...
Any advice?

I have no advice for you other than to say that I have had the same problem. I flashed the 160 ril and have had good results with the radio performance, at least where I live.
If i'm not mistaken the 13.04.19 radio is for the desire hd. The latest radio release for the inspire was the 10.04.03. Don't
know if this has anything to do with it.

You guys should not be flashing any new RILs in CM7. The whole "match the radio to the RIL" thing does not really apply to CM7. It has a special AOSP RIL (version 2.2.0018G) that matches the ROM, and it works well with all radios. Besides, there are known issues that can sometimes crop up when using HM RILs in CM7.
BTW the latest official radio for Inspire/AT&T is 26.10.04.03, and I suggest using that one for a while and judge your results before you go off flashing other radios. 26.10.04.03 should work great for you.

I have to say thank you as well. I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum since I got my Inspire, and this is the first I have heard about the HM rils not working well with CM7.
I do have to say that the 160 ril I was using did not cause any unusual problems for me other than the normal CM7 issues. I flashed the 18G ril last night after reading your posts.
Thank you for the information and the time to answer and correct me.

The "RIL" is a shared library compiled from a specific source tree. It should never be changed from the stock one that came with your ROM as subtle differences in compiling can have negative effects. It should ESPECIALLY not be mixed between HTC Sense and CM7 (or AOSP) builds since the source trees are considerably different.
In short, there's really no reason to mess with radio/ril at all.

Thank you Gene. Question with that all being said, should I reflash the ROM since I was playing with the rils?

You only need the ril files from the ROM zip. If you know you're way around linux and know how to mount your system r/w (or use adb push in recovery) you can just replace the ril files, or even just push the whole lib dir, but otherwise, reflashing the ROM will do it (no need to wipe data).

Alright I'm all straightened out now. Thanks Gene for taking the time to explain and answer questions.

Glad to help. Hopefully I've never led you astray.

Although I knew about not changing the RIL in cyanogenmod ROMS I had to search hard to find this information to post the links in the second post. If you actually read the radio/ril threads and even the opening post in the CM DEV threads they do not mention or warn about this. Matter of fact some mention that it is ok to flash new RILs. This is some very important info that the DEVs seem to leave out.

I was wondering this myself earlier. Is this potentially the big issue with the CM7 ROMs? I know when I got started, it seemed as though the recommended ril was the best overall. However due to location, each persons mileage may vary. This not being the case, are to many people playing around too much and causing allot of the GPS and radio problems associated with the cyanogen ROMs?
I may be over thinking this.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

In my opinion radios and rils being location dependant is untrue. I believe it is best to keep the RIL that matches the base ROM and use the cooresponding Radio. It makes no sense why the latest ATT radio would work any different with respect to what ATT towers you are connected. If it was true then all phones from all manufacturers would have to have tweaked radios/modems to match their location.
But I have seen many times where people have changed radios and rils on cyanogenmod ROMS and had issues or no data at all. To me that tells me that the RILS and Radios are tied to the drivers in the base ROM.

Make my infuse like SGII Skyrocket!

I was at ATT in Chicago suburbs last night and got to play with the SGII Skyrocket. I immediately turned off Wifi and then ran speedtest. Wow is all I have to say. After I got over the awesome up and down I realized aside from tethering the real value to me was in the fully working 2.3.5. I have tried a few ROMs from here but all seem to have one minor issue or another. That is by no means a knock to the site or the devs as I know this is a passion and everyone works hard to make great ROMs.
In the end I think the Skyrocket is cool, but I think a stable, non-buggy Infuse would be just about as good for most. I loved CM7 with all of it's configuration but needed BT for calls. I went to UCKJ4 based on a suggestion from LB, but the lack of multi-select on emails was a showstopper. I installed Touchdown, but didn't want another 3rd party app confusing Android. I prefer seamless integration. Am I missing something as to why mulitselect doesn't exist. Seems it would have to be a part of the aosp mail.spk. I dont quite undertsand the nuaces of aosp/android/touchwiz/roms etc.
In the end I gues my question is what is the most stable + BT functioning + multiselect ROM to flash. I know I could just go buy a SGII Skyrocket, which I may do, but I thought I would start here.
Thank you for any direction.

Okay I see how multi select works in UCKJ4 ROM. Maybe this is the best ROM. (Clarify - Best ROM for me)

@OP: Take a stock Infuse, and check it speeds. When on stock I had speeds averaging 8-9 Mbps with peaks around 11. Coming to custom ROM reduced them to 3-4 Mbps avg. Not complaining cos 3-4 is quite ok for me and love the options in custom ROM. If SkyRocket is able to go past 11 on avg, that could be significant difference. So far never heard anyone mention they got past the 11Mbs on SkyRocket.

i have the same results on my speed tests........i just walked across the street(to much RF in my building) and i get 10's consistantly with only 2 bars. i get the same results as up top if i have full bars on my LTE network.
the speeds are real folks......for now anyways...lol

In any event, why bother with LTE?
So now that the front end radio speeds are 50mb/s, so we'll just hit our 2gbit limit in like 1 hour vs 20 days - but we can now make a very impressive speedtest. yawn. I'm sorry, guys. This circa-1980 2GB limit thing has just got to go. ATT blames it on their lack of backhaul capacity (towers to internet). Perhaps their inability to police full time tethering. Remember, they're STILL the phone company.
Even if you have unlimited, they'll sniff packets and start the clock on you anyway. "No way you can use more than 2GB of local data on a cell phone if you're not tethering" they cry. Even the tethering plan is a limited, overly complex structured rate plan also. For those of you that've figured a way around these lobbyist-inspired rate plans then more power to you. But for the other 99% of us, a 2mb radio will just have to do.
Believe me, Ver and ATT are lawyering-up as we speak to deal with the upcoming onslaught from you LTE heathens lol
In any event, why bother with LTE?

Looks like I missed this portion
For the next couple months (till my upgrade is due), I solemnly vow to overlook these speeds and be blessedly satisfied that my speeds of 5 Mbps are more than enough for my existence. "More than that would be impossible to achieve" would be my motto for my own well being.

This may now be resolved by the new leak!

Hopefully we can get the new gingerbread release from AT&T soon with the recent leak! (finally I now have the 10 requisite posts!)

* This is the RADIO pulled from the Rogers Official UXUMA7 Samsung Jellybean release. Note, this has no RIL (it appears the ril interface remains the same), but I have no idea if anything under the hood (device firmware) has changed. Also, no CSC. If you do NOT know what both the terms mean, search my friend.

Guinea pigging it here. Just flashed the new radio and can simply report it did not fry my phone Running the latest CM10.1, phone booted up normally, shows AT&T as the carrier, LTE:13, normal amount of bars for me. Can't really see any difference at all between this and LL3 I was running. Haven't made any calls yet though, am hoping it eliminates the 1-2 delay in voice transmission that happens sometimes.

tested between UCL3 and this... not a big difference coming from winnipeg, manitoba canada. 3-4 dbm

So far working fine with i727R on Rogers, CM10.1 latest nightly. Thanks!

Working good for me. On aokp 4.2.2. Seems to have an average of 3-4 dbm gain over the ics modems I was using. That's on lte btw.
Actually noticing 5 dbm to 7dbm increase on lte and hspa.
Nice work

anyone notice increase or decrease in in-call quality at all? Mine seems the same

Nice work mohan thanks will report back
I love this radio full bars lte not once dropped to 4g now to test at work

I cant honestly tell if this works better for me (edmonton, ab) than ucll3, but both work well!

Anyone tested with SuperLite CM10 JB 4.1.2? Currently using UXLF3 but LTE is not working here in Toronto, Canada on Rogers network.

Tested on mohan_kr's Embryo 6.3 working perfectly. -cpt obv

Significant improvement here in Northern California.
:good::good::good:

Does this mean we will have embryo 6.5 or 7.0 or whatever mohan calls it based off an official release?

Thank you! This is the exact data I needed, I'll be flashing very soon. As always, good work mohan! :good:

This radio looks to perform better here in Lex, KY than ucll3...better signal and about the same in data...
Thanks mohan man

update signal the same, but data speeds slightly better than ucll3. in call quality is the same

so.... I may be crazy, but...
caveat: Just switched from SlimBean 3.1 to AoCp/AOKP (tried both) witch I'm not too familiar with, so it could be me....
I have tried this new modem and it works fine for a while (2-4 hours) (WiFi off), but then I'll lose signal... reboots won't get it back, no internet.
But, if I turn on WiFi, the radio comes back...
(downgraded back to the LL3 modem and did not see this issue, but I may not have been patient enough)

Thanks for this Mohan. In SE Florida AT&T increased both carrier signal and WiFi.

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with radio... The Wi-Fi drivers are kernel based...

That said, networking function is both kernel and framework based, so odds are the radio firmware conflicts somewhere within that Rom's configuration.
The radio is solid for sure, but it may not be compatible with the more recent kernel or api's used in aosp, and stock uses an older version of both. Odds are the kernel or framework could use patching.
If you enjoy that specific Rom and don't mind supporting the dev, i bet they'd benefit from seeing a log from the issues with this radio.

Correct and in our case I believe we have the integrated chip and the F/W is included in the ROM (I haven't checked whether it is the same as the ICS). So the kernel is in play and F/W to emit the right instructions for network type changes.
I know for sure that SAMMY has changed the RIL implementation with their JB version whatever secret they know from the OEM, that is why the older radios do not work anymore. The open source derivatives are pretty much out of luck unless they reverse engineer (even though libRIL is open) for the best performance. I am not complaining, I have been getting significant improvement with the JB Radios and Sammy JB derived ROMS..

Agreed, over all Samsung delivered quality with jb the likes not seen before by their stock firmware until now. A major factor seems to be the relative standardization of features and implementation across devices with similar capability, amongst a ton of other improvements.
Who knew that our obscure little s2 variant would turn out to be a powerhouse if utilized to their full potential, eh?
If only our hw collection wasn't so obscure, Mo ; ) if only.
