Anyone try another baseband on T-Mobile Gnex?

Has anyone switched from the XXLF1 radio to another and seen improved results?

Everyone has different results with different radios. There's no perfect radio for everyone. If you think you're getting bad results with your current radio, then try other radios out and see.

I'm on T-Mobile. Recently switched from XXLF1 to UGLH1 with very distinct, consistent improvement in connection reliability. As mentioned, YMMV.

Check this thread.

I am on my third UG radio test; the UG radio is best for the USA it seems. The thread has many choices and great information.
Wait, I am confused. It says in the original thread that the UG radio is for canadian devices. I want to be clear on this: Will it really work for USA devices as well? I don't know much about radios on here (I still have a hard time wrapping my head around radios being some sort of coding rather than actual hardware.) But I would LOVE to boost data speeds somehow on my phone!!!

As long as it is not a CDMA radio it will work. XX is actually meant for Europe.

I have read every thread I can find on this. UG radios are for North America, XX radios for Europe, and so on. I am in California, and the UG radios have worked for better for me than the XXLF1 that came with mine from Google.

Last I knew, Canada was still part of the North American continent, but with global warming and plate tectonics, it could change, but not soon.

I live in Ohio, and I just checked for an update, and there wasn't any so I am going to have to say no. Oh and yes I am on T-mobile
Thanks for the reply. I jumped over to the tmo htc one m8 forum where this is currently being discussed. I would suggest switching over to that forum if you already aren't.

Using Korean SKT Note 7 in the United States

So, in August 16th, I got a surprise call from Samsung Headquarter Store in Korea that Galaxy Note 7 that I have pre ordered was available earlier than 19th.. and it was Blue Coral ! yay! ...
Then I brought it to the United States... and I only get 3G.....
Is it normal that foreign phones brought to the U.S only works with 3g network...
Is there anyway that I can use LTE network...
my current carrier is AT&T and plan is Gophone LTE 60...
the model is SM-N930S made for SK telecom in South Korea and powered by Exynos chip.
Thank you !
P.S: When you guys visit South Korea, you guys should visit Samsung D'light headquarter store in Gangnam Station exit 8 !! all samsung peripherals are cheaper there...

Yes this happens sometimes depending on the device and carrier.
Easy enough to avoid however, we all know what bands AT&T uses (and if not easy to find out) so checking if the particular device in question has those bands (again easy enough to find out) before buying is of course the wise move.
On some devices in the past it has been possible to enable other bands but the note 7 is so new I doubt anyone has tried yet.

Thoughts on the *BEST* Varient of the LG G4?

I have owned 3, G4s, all Verizon Unlocked. VS986 variants. Im fed up with the Boot loader being locked unless you complete the dreaded unlock method of USU. I use ATT for phone service, so i was just going to pick up another G4 because I want the freedom of flashing ROMS with TWRP and etc....
After brief browsing I see each variant is slightly different in Its own way. I wanna know which variant of the G4 (you) think is the best?; (and a brief reason why! ) The one with the most xda dev/community support, the one with the most ROM options, etc etc.... And preferably compatible with the ATT network.
This list was pulled from another post on XDA I'm am not positive on its accuracy. But how do the common varrients hold up against the uncommon varients below? ( results due to MY location.: Pennsylvania/USA)
<Common Varients:>
*H810PR: AT&T
*H811: T-Mobile USA
*LS991: Sprint
*US991: USA
*VS986: Verizon
<UN-Common/Rare Varients>
*DS1402: ???
*F500K: KT Korea
*F500L: U+ Korea
*F500S: SK Telecom Korea
*H812: Telus Canada
*H815: Europe, Middle East, Africa
*H815AR: Argentine
*H815K: Australia
*H815P: Latin America, South Africa
*H815L: Israel
*H815T: Hong-Kong
*H815TR: Turkey
*H818P: Dual-sim (South Africa, Brasil, United Arab Emirated, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Eastern Europe)
*H818N: Dual-sim (China, Hong-Kong, India)
*H819: China
*KS1402/LGV32: ??? Japan (also called LG ISAI VIVID) ???

best is H815 that can be unlocked not all can be unocked..
or best is h811 tmobil. can be unlock with command.
815 international ( the Europe, middle east, Africa one your talking about )or 811 tmobile have all the ROMs and easy unlock
H811 is GSM so it should work on AT&T. AFAIK H815 is the only one to officially get Nougat outside of Korea.
