Which radio do you use? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'd really like to know people's opinions on the radios for the Nexus one and what people use. I am currently on 5.08.00.04 radio and I have tried the 5.12.00.08 as well. I think that the 5.08 works better for me at least. What are your opinions and what do you use? Also does it really matter which one you choose?

I'm on 5.12, works fine.

5.08 works fine on TMob USA for me.

Some people experience slower speeds with the "newer" radio. As the saying goes... newer isn't always better.

My N1 had 5.08.00.04 allready pre-installed and all is working perfect. I don't see why I should upgrade/downgrade

Yea I find the 5.08 radio works best for me I get better bandwidth overall and signal originally I was 4.12, just upgraded for cyanogen

Best 6.1 ROM & Radio for T-Mobile USA

I'm ready to Flash my 750 for T-Mo usa but I've read a lot of different opinions here. I'd rather not flash and reflash a million times to get it right. If anyone has played around with these roms and radios, which one would you recommend for T-Mo usa? (would rather avoid AT&T stuff)
So far I gather:
ROM: Not sure which one, lite or full, cooked or not
Radio: 1.54.30.10 (even though some say it's for AT&T)
C'mon guys, someone make a suggestion... I'm sure others can benefit from this as well.
I can not recommend the radio
but I tried both - the lite and the normal versions, and the normal is better and stable.

New Radio?

Hi Guys
Flashed a few roms on my sexy nexy but my brother had recently flashed a radio and told me of the signal improvement. I'm using Kang O Rama rom and wondered whether anyone could suggest a good radio to flash?
Cheers for any help

First one to say it: Wrong Section
Should be in Q&A.
But, to answer your question, I have seen that it really depends on your own experiences with each radio. I found that none of the 5.XX radios worked well for me. So, I'm running the older radio. But mos people say that the newer ones are better. So, you should just try them out. Just be careful when flashing
Cheers for that. I noticed that I had posted in the wrong forum straight away but didn't know how to move it with tapatalk.
Thanks for the info. Anyone got any recommendations?

same here:
5.12 horrible battery and terrible internet speeds
5.08 terrible battery
4.xx no problems
and the same bad reception on all of them
=> UNLESS you actually have a PROBLEM with the radio, leave it alone!
5.12 radio here, wonderful battery and blazing speeds. No problems at all.

I believe the latest version is Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 found in the Wildpuzzle thread among others.
and that radio works well with cyanogen roms???do you recomende to intall?
I can say it fixed my navi prob in cm 7 #17
Radio's are universal. Not confined to any particular ROM. The latest one is said to improve signal strength at the cost of battery life.
so if i dont have signal problems better stay with mine? how much difference of battery usage are we talking?
I personally have stuck to my old version (15.31), because, for me, Signal reception is fine, and, I dont use GPS at all, so, CM7's non functioning GPS is a Non-Issue for me.
The battery difference will be minimal. It's tough to put a figure here though. :/
how do u flash a new radio???
@3xeno... can i possibly help my prob of datanetwork??

Well sounds like we have an WM user. On Android they are modems and to be honest it is a best one for your area. I use jk4 in Alaska
actually never has a winmo device I have dell streak, first droid device.
but Im asking so I can flash the wife's cappy, she's complaining about signal strength, let me check what rom she has, I believe she has 500mhz speedmod kernel on a i9000 based rom.
I though I saw some HTC droid's , like Evo refer to modem as Radio

oh ok that makes sense. HTC use radios and not modems. just make sure that the rom fits the kernel and modem. it will be trial and error.
Not to be a stickler but doesn't this belong in the q4 -q1 modem thread?

Isn't zel a mod? He seemed alright with it's placement haha
It is like zelendel said it is mostly trial and error for your area but I would give JL2 and JK4 a try they have given me the best results JL2 better signal but JK4 almost the same signal but slightly better battery life for me anyway
I made some changes to build.prop to my Dell Streak on AT&T, based on a thread I found on xda, it seemed to boost my 3g speeds, will build.prop tweaks boost signal reception as well? possibly??
edit: nevermind, didnt find the tweaks in build.prop, or defualt.prop, are they somewhere else? or are they missing from build.prop?
the lines like ro.ril.gprs_class=12, etc.
and ro.ril.hsxpa=3, etc.
Dont forget the 3 new ones, kc1 and the 2 jp9 modems.

[Q] Best Radio for JELLYBEAN

Just wanted your opinions on what would be the best radio for jellybean.. am currently using lacoste rom with 19m radio...but the reception sucked so shifted to 24m radio.. thought would test that for a while and if not satisfied switch to the 11m
any thoughts would be appreciated!

I had good reception and call quality with gingerbread radios.. was wondering if its possible to flash gingerbread radio with a jellybean rom..the ICS radios work fine but will gingerbread radios?
I have the best experience with the 19_M.
If I am right, that is also the one HTC ships with it's ICS RUU.
I am currently on Szeszo's CM10 testing ROM and first thought that the 11_M radio was the best. But with that radio, I had very erratic behavior while in calls. Most of the time, the calling volume was very loud, even at the lowest setting. As if I was always on speakerphone.
With 19_m, reception is just as good but without the erratic call volume.

11_M was the one that shipped with ICS. And you really need to test it out your self. Different radios will work better in some places while other radios will work better in other places. That being said, I was using 19_M and I had slightly lower signal than with 11_M but for me theyre pretty consistent most of the time.
