I have been using 2.3.5 with the new radio, I have more bars and sometimes I get better speeds but I lose more frequently my 3g and keeps bouncing 3g/1x, my wifi sucks but I don't use it a lot and 4g, I don't have here in my area.
Have the same problem since I moved to 2.3.5 and so have moved back to a rom that uses 2.3.4 (Oxygen 2.1.6).
Is the wifi/3g trouble due to the radio? If yes, anyone knows how I can use a newer rom with an older radio?
Thanks

Flash the rom first then apply the radio.
I have been using the old radio for a day and now I don't have a problem with the wifi and the 3g works the same, like crap, so I am going to keep the old radio with this one 2.3.5 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205936 , for couples days and see. 3g in Sprint sucks!
Hi,
I decided to flash Virtuous ICS ROM + accompanying firmware 1.24 flashed from hboot + 1.7 new kernel (previously used Revolution Gingerbread ROM stripped of all Sense).
Everything is smooth but I noticed phone data coverage shows Edge everywhere it used to show HSPA+ on all the highways.
I assume radio is not including TMobile bands, should I find a different firmware? I assume the issue is a firmware and not kernel or ROM, but I used link for firmware that is mentioned in the main Virsuous ROM thread that is supposed to be compatible with the ROM. Perhaps it is not compatible with TMobile though?
Thanks,
Vadim.
Check if Auto GSM/WCMDA is enabled in the mobile settings.
Which ROM? Did you flash h boot 1.27 after flashing ROM or before?, It has a new radio and ril., if you flashed your ROM after the firmware update the RIL May not match.

Like ARHD it's probably based on the EU ROMs so there isn't a 4G icon.
Flash a 4G icon mod.

Ahh, slaps himself in the face
Indeed, GSM was in Mobile settings. Tried ten times to change to GSM/WCDMA and the setting always returned back to GSM and phone still showed Edge.
Today on eleventh attempt for some reason setting finally got saved and phone shows H (for HSPA+). Thanks!
Mainly for Canadians.
If you want to use it on I727R with ICS Rom. please ONLY flash the base file (no RIL).
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base.zip
If you want to try it on different gingerbread flavors, you can flash the one with RIL. DO NOT flash this one on ICS, otherwise you will not get signal.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base_RIL.zip
After you flash the radio file, ICS may not identify the baseband properly(from About Phone). On GB TPC v3 can detect the baseband properly though.

I flashed the Rogers no RIL, works great, better bars, however how damaging it to have unknown baseband?
not damaging at all, the rom will merely identify baseband as "unknown," as u said.
Im curious to know how much better this modem performa compared to the UCALC4. I had problems flashing it before, but once i got it to stick performance has been great, receptions is better and speed on par with UCLA3. Can other rogers users with LTE weigh in on this? Preferably those in the GTA and Vancouver.
does the resolve the unknown caller issue
Hey gey just here to give my feedback about this modem. (I live in GTA)
Personally, I've experienced slower data speeds and bars of reception with this modem as compared to the UCALC4 modem.
On this modem (no ril) I acquired about 20 mbps down and 8 up where as with the UCALC4 modem, I experienced about 26 mbps and 13 up.
Also, with the no ril modem, I was receiving 3 bars while on the UCALC4, I was receiving 4 bars.
maybe because it is a bell modem and rogers will release their own?
I made this for some users can try to use Bell's dual channel HSPA+ as y2whisper advised. For LTE it may not as good as rogers or UCLA4.

but to be honest im running 4g which is another 3g+ and i didn't see any difference but my battery was going upside down lol..as far as ucalc4 once it settles, its wayy better then then RUKJ7 that we have with rogers..
for me its helpful since i am using the device on bell. and well i don't have the same coverage with bell as you do with rogers for LTE. so figured why not get the best hspa+ speeds as i can get.

I tried UCLA3 on ICS yesterday because I can't get LTE on UCALC4. Anyway, it doesn't work. It gives no signal and under 'about phone' it says unknown baseband.
did u try the ics specific one leeC posted?
My mistake, I didn't flash the ICS specific UCLA3. Didn't know of it. Flashed the GB one (no signal) -then flashed back to UCALC4 radio. Ill try ICS UCLA3 soon (it would sure help if someone could post the link so I know for sure)
UCALC4 doesn't seem to be working too well for me. I get LTE very rarely for few seconds at a time only, but mostly not. I always had LTE before though.
I see this Bell Radio works on Rogers i727R. I have not tried it yet myself. I am on TCP v3 still, and looking to try a ICS rom with a new radio, but I am trying to find the Rogers radio in case I want to revert to gb ? Any thoughts ? this is the only radio post i see in the thread, thanks

Much appreciated ! Thank you !
I have a 727r and I want to use it on wind, and have no idea what combo of rom / kernal / modem to use. what I do know:
The 727r radio has the ability to pick up the signal
The wind network uses HSPA+ - transmit on 1700, receive on 2100
There are modem files out there for these frequencies
Things I don't know
How to make sure a rom / kernel / radio will work with each other (hopefully without needing to spend hours flashing n! combinations)
How to figure out if a modem file will support my device, or the frequencies I need
Things I've tried
the 989 from Tmobile runs on HSPA+, so I tried installing a tmobo rom, kernel, and radio with little success.
Trying to install / flash different rom - kernel - modem combos (most of which results in baseband version:unknown - this means the modem and rom are incompatible right?)
What I'm asking
Is there anyone running a 727r on wind that wouldn't mind sharing their rom / kernel / modem combo?
Has anyone found a Cyanogen-kernel-modem combo that works?
I am NOT asking which is the "best". After spending 4 hours of flashing and praying things will work, I don't care if I get the "worst" rom. I just want a combo that works
WORKING(more or less) COMBOS:
R34P3ReX_T989_Skyrocket_Conversion - Juggernaut_50_0218 - Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio
Gingerbread base, gyroscope tilts screen wrong way, a bit buggy, but works
CM10, CM10, T989UVLH1
Works well enough, having Call issues though. Going to try a new radio
Cyanogen always gets terrible battery. Going to look for an optimized version but not a problem for me
CM10, Blaze 4G UVLH5
Calling worked, I could hear caller, but they heard a lot of garbled blarky. Not good
u don't need a specific ROM or kernel at all, all u need to do is try different t radios. try the uvle1 from the t989 aka Hercules subsection, and give the modem someone dumped from the i757m bell version to see if u can catch a signal. I strongly believe the later will work

So.. im using the Tmo Radio.. the latests and you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
and as for the ROM i am using Cyanogenmod 10.0 but the T989 version.
works good.. dont forget to wipe everything.. as for the other comment where you just need to flash the radio.. dunno.. i tried that a couple of times and it didnt work.. however.. im about to try it again.. so ill let you know how it goes.. for now though.. just to get it working.. i would do the above..
tip: i initially flashed the UVLH1 radio.. worked great.. great signal.. then i updated the other day to the latest.. and it seems as though my signal is not as strong.. dunno.. but try it out.. you never know..
also.. on initial boot up.. you need to give it a couple of minutes for things to settle.. it should pick up the Wind signal by itself... if it doesnt after 5 mins.. then do a search.. but you shouldnt have a problem..
So.. i can confirm that you CAN install the TMO radio and the ATT Skyrocket CM 10 ROM!!!!!
Infact... it works great!!!
TIP: i can also confirm that the UVLH1 has a stronger signal than the UVLI4 radio which is the latest. not sure why.. but i reverted back to UVLH1
hope this helps!

I tried to install the T989 (Hercules) CM10 version but it kept failing to install
The recovery I'm using is Team Win Recovery, if that matters. I suspect either TWRP is not working or the Kernel is incompatible
What Kernel are you using?

if it was built for t989 specific phones it wont install because of the assert
u dont need a t989 rom anyways, but if you want to try them out make sure the updater script doesnt have the assert function and do the rotation fix
I'm using the i727r (Rogers) running CM 10.1. I'm still on Rogers using the stock radio for now. Is there any consensus as to which radio file to flash for best results?
I know this thread is a little stale, but I figured I would throw in my two cents.
I have an i727r, unlocked. Right now I am running PACman Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178402) with the Blaze LB7 radio (4th from the bottom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400). They said I shouldn't be able to run an ICS radio with a JB Rom, but somehow it seems to be working. Note that the radio was on there before flashing PACman.
The kernel showing up in my phone info is the one that came with the PACman Rom, 3.0.72-cyanogenmod. I know this because before flashing PACman over stock, the kernel was 3.0.8.
Having said all that I'm thinking about updating my radio, probably to UVMB1. I'm not sure if I should bother though. I have a Nexus S, which is designed as an AWS phone out of the factory, and when I put my SIM card in that phone, the speedtest results are the same as what I'm getting right now with the LB7 radio on the Skyrocket. So I'm not sure I'd gain much by updating. :/
Can some people in the GTA please chime in to help me.
I am using a Rogers Skyrocket.
SlimBean Rom 4.2.2 Official 7
T989UVMC6 radio/modem
I tried a few other modems and found this one to be the most stable as some did not even allow a call to be made.
This is what I noticed.
Full charge I talked for 20 minutes and lost 10% battery (from full charge)
I get erratic data speeds inside=500-1 and outside I get 3
The problem is the battery drain and signal strength.
What are you using and what is your battery life and signal strength?
Data speeds?
your location?

My carrier is videotron, one of the most difficult carriers to get unlocked phones to work on. Here's what works for me, sim unlocked, rooted. Running cyanogenmod 10.1.0 RC2 with Blaze 4G LF4 radio, nobars battery saver and network booster. I'm still have the same issue as everyone else, baseband unknown and network type unknown. I've been running the stock kernel and I've been running like this for the past couple days, and touch wood, I haven't had any issues. I've tried the 2 Tmo radios, I got no signal what-so-ever, the telus radio kept dropping my connection, meaning, I would have to try and resend text messages several times before it would actually send. Now that I'm using my current setup, as described at the beginning of my post, no problems to date.
I hope my input helps out.

Edited, UVMB1, the NEW Blaze 4G radio from this thread seems to work as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
But like x said, u had issues u just weren't aware of them. Problems don't just APPEAR for no reason.
this threads getting confusing.
ucmc1 and uxuma7 is for rogers and att users on cm10.1
if using unlocked skyrocket for other carriers then you would need compatible jb radio for the new/unlocked carrier for cm10.1 based roms
so for tmo/wind etc you would need UVMB1 for the AWS bands, there are other jb radios for telus, bell but don't know if/how well they work on said carrier.
so if your carrier uses the same frequency's as tmo then UVMB1 seems to be what users are reporting success with.
if your carrier is using same frequency as att/rogers then the ucmc1 or uxuma7 radio is what you need
correct me if im wrong

Dear forummers!
I have some problems with my HTC One S.
I have a really unstable connection on 3G, and the newer radio made it even worse.
It seems fine when it uses HSDPA but it has some problems on 3G and I know it switches automatically but still it is very unstable!
I'm now running almost the last update. with the 1.11 EU radio.
I am not rooted, but I have S-OFF, SuperCID and custom CWM 6.0.4.0 recovery.
Anyone knows what is going on?
EDIT: It seems to be less on CM10.1.
It is really weird, is it possible to downgrade to an android 4.0.* firmware?
