Re: [Modem / Basebands][1/20] - The two current modems available
I tether everyday at work while im locked in a small dark room with no windows. My signal is always in and out and never staying consistent. It would jump from 4g to 3g to no data a lot. Since I flashed the new modem... I have not have a single drop and the transitions from 3g to 4g are smooth. Hope this info can help others to decide

I tried the new Modem today for a bit but Im in a strong 4G area and its to damn cold to go out testing. I didnt see any difference. Im going out to some less signal areas tomorrow I will be able to tell more. At least they are no worse
I compared:
Old radio with CleanROM VZW-SE 1.0
to
New radio with CleanROM Lite Verizon Edition
No difference in signal, battery, heat, etc. Tested in several locations.

My 4g is still up
My 4g is still up
Ok here are my test results. Went two different directions out of my strong 4G. Lost 4G were I usually do no change. The one thing I noticed is that signal strength was higher -71 69asu thats the best I think I have ever got. The weird thing is it is not stable as old Modem jumps around a lot. Im gonna stick with it for a few days and see what happens doesnt seem to be any worse.
if u want ill redo these with a sha1 check in them so they wont flash if not a good download.. this should have been done from the beginning lol
Its not hard to do an MD5 check.
Im sure people can handle it :good:
800+ downloads in two days and no lost connectivity yet, lol
I think we got this! :angel:
But thanks though!

true but like u said in op its not something u wanna mess around with..
Honestly I don't feel anything has been changed. My connectivity seems about the same but it looks like my battery is draining faster since flashing to new radio.
Possible! A few people have said that.
How long have you been running it and what ROM are you on?
If you dont have matching RIL files I could see issues possible.
If you are willing to test something I will post the match RIL files for the new radio?
Re: [Modem / Basebands][1/20] - The two current modems available
I had bad battery drain too. If you post the new ril files I'll give it a run see if it makes a difference

I have been on it for over a day I definetly notice better signal strength. On the old Modem at my house I set at about -95dbm with new one -91dbm I even switched back and forth same deal. Im not sure about battery I would try files if you post. It does seem though that the new Modems are not quite as stable again its hard to tell. If thats true that may explain battery drain. I am on Beans 5 Perseus Kernel
Re: [Modem / Basebands][1/20] - The two current modems available
The new modem does increase heat output near the top part of the phone, by the camera. This in turn drains the battery life.
It does seem to increase signal strength slightly. Only by a couple db's. Speed of download is still the same.
The trade is not worth it in my opinion.

Im not seeing the heat difference. What should it be I cant feel any difference heat at 80 degrees drops lower when not in use which is what its supposed to do. Dropped about 5% bat in an hr normal use web and 2 calls.
Well, here are the matching RIL files for the L4 Radio...
Now... Make a nandroid back up before flashing...
This is for VZW stock TouwchWiz based ROMS only (CleanROM, Beanstown106 based ROMS, etc)! Any CM / PA / AOSP / ABC / XYZ / Etc... ROM will not work with these files.

Please make sure you check the MD5 sum of the modem before flashing it!
A bad download with a modem is not like a bad download with a ROM! Things can go to hell real quick with a bad modem download!!!

I dont see any new bases coming in the future so... No.
Verizon is so far behind on there Android build its kinda of sickening.
They spend too much R&D in how to screw us over on bootloaders instead of keeping software current.7
Actually, you can do that now. And my CleanROM ACE is proof of it.
My bad... Copy and paste got me...
Correct MD5 for L4 is: 084D1B4822284A7852163F101AFA94A14
