Really depends on your area, try them all. I've had the most luck with Blaze
There is a working T-Mobile radio on ICS? Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt the Blaze radio only for Gingerbread?
yup. only GB. I found a thread with an ICS radio but for the life of me i cant find it now. I think there were 3 variants
EDIT: found it:

So, the gingerbread ota comes with the 1.77.30P radio, if I'm not mistaken. The hktw build that showed up before that came with the 1.97.00R radio. Looking at the version names it looks like the hktw radio is newer, but the 1.77.30P is recommended. Can anyone explain why either one is better to use?

The 1.97 was a leaked radio and only displayed one bar until someone just found a hack to get it to show the correct signal strength. My averages are a little bit better on the 1.97 radio.... 4mb dowm and1.10 up pretty consistently. 1.97 so far its only sbf.

It means that we can change our baseband to 1.97 after flashing radtio to 4.5.91, am i right? Please correct my understanding
There a lot users who are findig 1.77.30 a better radio solution.
Cheers.
The stock 1.77 is what comes with gingerbread. 1.97 is a leaked build that was not released officially. 1.77 works more consistently without problems IMO. Different people report different results. Depends on your rom which will work better for you. Also there is now a 1.100

I get faster download/upload speeds with 1.97 than 1.77. 1.100 is slower for some reason.

Im using the .97 radio.. flashes via cwm and so far no problems.. happy I didn't get the 1 bar bug... speeds.. are more consistent
Is it still general consensus that the 1.97.00R radio is the better one?
Any feedback on the new 802 GB radio? How's it seem to be working? I've been using the MR2 forever cause it has worked the best for me.
Just thought I would ask before I try it.
Been running the last couple days... Get better 4g lock in fringe areas... Overall feels stapler..

Seems okay so far. Might have gotten better bat life on 2.5.
Thunderbolt CM7 1.3
Tiamat 1.0.4
I'm getting better data reception. Getting 3 bars 4G in the hospital I previosly couldn't get a lock

Battery life??? Better?
New 802 radio
I have not tried it yet, I am running BAMF 3.0 4.9
Anyone try it yet?
I will probably flash the new radio tonight to see how it works.
i loaded this and there is no difference in the signal from MR 2.5, although my TB is in a 3G-only city so no idea if there's a difference with 4G or not.
i haven't tested out battery life yet though as the phone's been charging a few hours now(extended battery).
oh and i'm using A05PTH3ORY V1.4X
i don't use leaked beta radios. i don't need a brick.
well, i gave it a go. im using DT's AO5 however the hell you spell it AOSP rom. that and i have the 2750mAh extended battery. normally, when i go to bed, the next day the battery has lost 10 - 15%.... with this new radio, the battery was at 98% when i went to bed, then 69% when i woke up. i think im going to switch back to the MR 2.5
Can we please begin using RUU numbers to describe radios. The actual radio number most people use is just one of them and MRblah,blah,blah doesn't tell you jack because there's 2 MR2 radios, and it seems people are just inventing MR numbers now. Someone posted they were using the MR3.25 radio somewhere today. WHAT??? MR3???
The 802 radio has given me betterblife in both MonolithTh3ory and Cl3anTh3ory roms. Can't hurt to try it its benefited lots of us so far.

I'm a fan of if it ain't broke don't fix it. The only new radio I flashed was when i HAD to for the GB radio. Other than that, I have left mine be.

Can someone link me to this 802 radio?

I have been using the 802 for about a month its not bad

im about to go back to the OTA as the 802 radio makes my 4g go out alot more than normal.
I rooted my tb within a couple days of getting it.... I'm on 2.2.1. And 1.70.605.0...... Is this old software??? And I have been getting error codes while testing people... Y is that??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
That's pretty old. The current version is Android 2.3.4 and Software version 2.11.605.9
I would suggest updating to a 2.3.4 ROM, which could solve your errors.
On a side note, your running a froyo radio, so you'll need to upgrade your radio too.
Here is a link to the latest radio and instructions for how to flash it:

To check, go to settings, about phone, software information, more, and look at the baseband. That is your radio version. Compare it to the latest version.
Sounds like youve been downloading aosp Roms. Try a sense based Rom. KillaSense, Skyraider Zeus, Thunderstick. There are a lot of good ones out there.

Hi all,
I'm getting very low signal in my phone, only one or two bars with passion v13 and now with ICS euphoria even when being next to the window.
I get excellent signal in a HTC G2.
Does anyone have a similar problem?

Flash a new modem. Scrizz has a bunch especially for ICS.
I forgot to mention that I have already tried several modems: ka7, ka6, jksomething, but nothing changes.
Try a different city or a different phone... or a different cell company

I'm right around Chicago it is an ICS issue. My gf has miui and kb5 with 3 bars of H. I have currently 1 bar 3g same setup on euphoria.

You could always try the CM9 alpha or icssgs, see if there is any difference
If changing modems makes no difference, then it must be the rom.

Unfortunately its all of them. The only fix I have found is getting off ICS. Once the newest glitch kernel is back ported for cm7/miui.us I won't be able to careless lol.
P.S. this reply would not be possible on ICS, I am at work right now.

Interesting. I should have mentioned kernels (many to choose from), but it sounds like you might have tried a few of them also. Good luck.
You might want to discuss it in one of the ICS rom threads, or the modem thread:

Every ICS I experience this on until Docs V5. My phone is useable at work again on ICS. It's worth a shot if low signal is what is holding you back from 4.0.

I am also in Chicago running Euphoria no issues with signal strength. I also work for T-Mobile and can tell you a bad SIM card is the most common reason for signal issues ;-)

If someone requests a new SIM card from T-Mobile, do they get to keep the same phone number? Also, I've had my Samsung Vibrant's battery since around Oct 2010. How much longer would you think this battery will be good 'til?
hi all
I have started to flashed liquid Rom (JB) on my AT&T note that is running on T-Mobile network just last week.
glad to say my speed test on T-Mobile 4G was pretty good although inconsistent at times.
I have the highest speed running 13mbps down and 2 up.
I flashed the blaze ICS modem.
so for those on T-Mobile network running a AT&T note, yes it has pretty decent speed.
