[Modem] Hybrid Radios For E970 [2-25-2014]

Ace42 · Dec 26, 2013

Since I couldn't find the links I took it upon myself to convert the n4's radios by morrislee . I do not know if these work (well) on other carriers besides T-Mobile, use at your own risk.

I have tested these on my new E970 att on PSK rom(in-call vol woks T-Mobile). LTE doesn't work on ANY radio on T-Mobile for some reason.

You can always try it, then switch. It will not brick your phone just cause you're on att. You see I cannot confirm whether there would be service issues(no in call volume) because I don't have access to an att account.

I've been using the ATT JB/Mako hybrid radio on AT&T since it was first posted in like July or whenever, and it has been perfect for me.

getting a delay to boot animation. 30+ sec. with this radio, Flashed the .33 radio found in other place "[Nexus 4 Radios] Flash in Recovery [LTE and HSPA+]" no delay faster boot.

A delay of 30sec, is that with the 98 radio? I haven't experienced that myself, can anyone else confirm?

Edit: could you time how long it takes your OG to boot, then I'll time mine from a cold boot too.

Okay that one is buggy(sensors are also dead), but I'll leave it in case anyone wants it anyway. I'm using 27/84 now, took 27.97 sec from when it 1st vibrates after holding power key.

It uses 27 for cell and 84 for wifi and other according to Morrislee. 27 is supposedly better battery/signal and has fewer dropped calls, which is what I've read in the N4's modem thread and is based on my experience. 97 & 98 are both troublesome radios for some odd reason.

It would give LTE, but something is preventing LTE from turning on with the e970. The phone seems to default to the 1900mhz rearmed towers and not the 1700mhz band needed for T-mo's LTE. I asked a dev if they could look into adding the band menu so we can switch bands.

Maybe we will see this before the phone becomes too dated. Thank you for the detail, I will stick with this one.

I used this radio after flashing cm11 M2 for e970 because incoming and out going calls had no volume on either end, cm11 was great but after I flashed the hybrid radio it did fix the problem with calls, I still had amazing data speed but things started to force close. The simpsons tapped out would no longer load with everything unknown on the crash report, Native crash, and search and settings also shortly started to start FC constantly. I went back to stock via nandroid backup and everything works fine. I will try cm11 again on T-Mobile when the radio kinks have been worked out. I am just throwing this out there in case anybody has the same problem or a solution. I tried reinstalling apps, clearing caches etc. no luck. I hope this is fixed soon.

Did the devs ever add the band menu? Just coming into this phone so I'm still catching up. I really was hoping to get LTE on T-Mobile like I was getting on my ATT HTC One XL. Strange that it was getting LTE.

Vanir has it now, but it wont show the band needed for lte. It shows the AT&T and EU bands.
