Hey, I'm in the Los Angeles Area on the T-Mobile network, I was just curious whether there is a better radio for my phone?
I'm running
Paranoid Android v20,
And my radio is:
RADIO-11.23.3504.07_M2
Is there one I should install that's better?
Thanks.
I'm Tmobile and live about 40 minutes from L A. My radio is 1176A350400P_1125A3504.31_M. it's a great signal always 4G. Give it a try. Hope this helps

Hi,
Go to the market and get "Getril"
It will show you the best combination of radio/ril for your area.

Kay, so I downloaded GetRil and it recommended a new RIL based on the Baseband I have. No mention of where I live.
So now that my Baseband and RIL match. What's the best Baseband for my area? (Since I can update the RIL to match with GetRil) I heard elsewhere that flashing the T-Mobile Radio gives us T-Mobile users better signal. Is this true? Or would flashing 1176A350400P_1125A3504.31_M like realsis recommends be better? I have no idea. Thanks for helping me get my Baseband and RIL to match though! Now I just need to figure out what the best Baseband is for Los Angeles.

Hi,
There is no right and wrong here.
The best radio is the one that works.
You may need to experiment with different ones,including the T-MOUS one.

Alright thanks. Where would I download them? And is there some sort of benchmark app for the radio? Or how would I know I have the best one when I do?

Well. I'm getting 2-4Mbps with my current radio. So I think I'll leave it alone for now. I don't want to brick it. Thanks for the help! Both of you.

YES!! new radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M working ok (wifi, 2g/3g ...) with RIL: 2.2.1003G.
Signal level at least as good as with 26.09.04.11_M2.
Battery drain need more test....
=> No risk, you can go and test yourself !!
Enjoy
radio working great. Battery life seems to be a bit better, better signal strength.
Excuse me, but what is this thread for?? Is there a rom some where or what?? Cause if it's only a comment thread it should be moved to general section..
Cheers.

I've had errors in using the extracted RIL on CM/ other ROM bases. I'm unlocked and running my phone on Virgin Mobile Canada. When using the ported RIL and flashing new radio I had horrible connection speeds and service provider only showed 'Bell'.
Been looking forward to Football's release and he definately delivered here!

Yes, after installing the RUU and you will lose root access.
I'm having trouble with the download link. 5 times now the download craps out about halfway through. Does anyone have a mirror?
Im using it right now without the Ril and I find that i have better signal and a tiny bit better battery life and less dropped calls. But then again im with Telus so....

Is an RIL needed if you're on a European ROM?
The size is exactly the same as the EUR one. Did you check md5 if it's even different?
Please post the MD5

md5's are different. Can't imagine TMO USA would include a Euro radio.
The radios the same as the euro, I believe the ril is the same stock tmous ril from the previous radio tho.

It would be stupid if the radio is the same.
Not sure if they really the same. When I flashed the European version I had (10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01) for the version. Now it's (10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M) with this radio.

For the RIL I'm using the one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 matched with the 10.14.xx version.
flashed with no issues!! thanks, and I am pretty sure its a different radio
I've searching around the forums and I don't really catch how the radio and baseband works, so I have a few noob questions about it.
What is the difference between the radio and the baseband? Is the radio a part of the baseband?
Flashing a new rom changes the baseband?
Is there a "best" baseband, or it depends on the rom or the zone? If it depends on the rom or zone, why?
It's RIL important? Does it come from the rom, the baseband or the phone?
Thanks in advance!

Radio and baseband are used synonymously.
Flashing a new rom will not change the baseband. Flashing an ruu will.
Best baseband depends on location, carrier, etc. Doesn't really depend on rom.
Not sure about ril but I don't think it is important.

Regular
The baseband is the firmware for the radio chip. This firmware is interfaced by the OS using the RIL (Radio Interface Layer), so the RIL translates the requests by the OS to commands the baseband can understand.
When you flash the baseband you change the firmware for the chip. For everything to work, you need the matching RIL in your ROM, either it comes with the ROM, or you have to flash it yourself. If RIL and baseband don't match, malfunctions such as missing signal etc can occur.
Thanks a lot for your answers! So, what baseband are you using? The latest one?

Try get ril app in the market. It will only show you rils for your baseband and makes replacing ril easy.
