radios on the S5 is already a lot better than my S4, great reception indoor and outside whereas my S4 consistenly on get 1-2 bars. I don't really see the need for custom radio yet.

Is it the phone defect??? hope any pro can help me.

If you normally get speeds faster than that its most likely a phone defect.

try an app on the market called 3g/4g optimizer, saw about it on another thread. Helped me alot
I saw one guy here putting 2 pieces of aluminium foil and his phones speed increased
try it and see if it works on your phone!
also go to a different area and try your speed with speedtest.net

Sprint plans are cheaper than other providers which is why I want to switch to it. If they offer horrible internet speed I'd rather go with att or verizon.

[RADIO] AT&T JB Radio E97020J

For anyone that wants the AT&T Radio from the new Jellybean update.

New radio is great. Top 3 are new att, rest are either .33 or .48. Gps accurate to 8 meters, in my basement.

Carrier name shows up as Maritime. When making a call, the app shows that the phone is immediately hanging up, but then the call goes through anyways and shows up in your status bar. You can select the notification to get back to your dialer.
Everything else seems to be working so far, however.

Already known and reported. According to dvhexer Maritime is also AT&T. The same thing was happening to me, until I just flashed back to the default .33 N4 radio.
Thanks for this. Is there a thread that contains a list of radios?

+1 for this. I was looking for the stock modem that comes on SnowJB that way I have it before I flash this just in case.
Does this increase cellular reception or Wifi signal? My G has problems with low service areas and will often get poor Wifi signal from multiple routers. Just curious because I'm not sure what a different radio is or does or where to get others. Sorry for the bother.

8 meter gps accuracy in a basement is good. Being in BFE USA doesn't really impact GPS performance, it actually helps so long as you're not under a dense tree canopy. The lack of tall buildings to play havoc with the RF coming in from SPACE helps a bit. I've seen 1 meter accuracy in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas and that's more BFE than anywhere in Virginia.

I still get LTE so I cant be roaming and MCC-MNC is 310-410 still.
If anyone wants to flash back to the original modem it in the xperia jellybean thread < Canadian development <LG Optimus.

Maritime Communications is partnered with AT&T. Mainly used for cruises and such. While people on other networks like T-Mobile and Verizon may be charged roaming / international rates, AT&T does not. I preferred Maritime back on my Atrix 4G. Granted, I'm connected to AT&T Microcell, now.

On pretty much all smartphones wifi calling here in Asia works great. Blocked in the US now like in communist countries??
Coming from a Nexus 4 user, so not biased in anyway:
Pros-
By far the best phone out right now (far above the GS4)
No lag whatsoever
Supports all frequency bands (2G,3G,4G, LTE on all GSM carriers)
Solid feel
Amazing screen
Sense is beautiful (opinion)
Wi-Fi Calling ( I get bad service in my house so I miss this feature)
Cons-
Although the materials are good, build quality on some devices has been sub par
Not subsidized on T-mobile, makes me very nervous to attempt to purchase or trade for one due to the fact that it was most likely purchased on EIP.

Signal strength problems

I had always read that Samsung phones had signal issues on cdma networks. This is my first Samsung device after several HTC. My wife and I are both dropping calls daily in front of our house. I cannot hold a call in my front entry way. Our previous rezound and thunderbolts did not have this problem and neither do our kids droid DNAs.
I called Verizon about getting a network extender because other than signal issues, we love the notes. They want 300 for it. I refused. They sent out techs to check signal in our location and say we have 3 towers blanketing our area so it's the phone. Still won't give us a free network extender. They agree it's a device problem. They say they have no phone comparable to the note to switch to and said there was nothing they could do. I told them to send another note to try. I guess I will keep going through notes until they other me the new Motorola's in a couple of months. They did offer me an upgrade, but I'm not giving up unlimited data.
I might hold out and try to get the next HTC phone that drops, either DNA 2 or one.
It really sucks because otherwise this phone is the best but dropping calls daily really sucks...

Just hang in there, after you get a few replacements from VZ they will offer you a different model.
I think I'm going to hold out. It might take awhile. I'll only take a phone with 32gb of storage and a big battery unless it comes with sd card slot

Thanks for the link, but I shouldn't have to buy extra equipment because Samsung can't make good cdma radios.
Curious if anyone else has wifi drops regularly. Both my phone and tablet drop and reconnect wifi pretty often. You see a message that briefly pops up.

My note does not have any issues with wifi. Check that its the phone and not the router.... really really sounds like its not the phone.
As for signal issues, My note did have issues with verizon. i switched to AT&T with the same phone and its 10x better. Probably more to do with my area than actual reception problems though.
Interesting my note gets far better signal strength than my 2 previous HTC devices I had. The only thing I don't think it matches up to is Motorola who I believe build the best radios period.

Don't think it's the router because it happens on both my note 2 and note 10.1
at home and at work. Sometimes it will kill downloads, sometimes it's fast enough not to matter.

The signal strengths match in setting between Samsung and HTC, but HTC phones seem to hold lower signal better where Samsung just gives up and you lose the call. Also, Samsung is quicker to jump over to 3g while HTC holds onto that one bar of lte better.
This has been reproducible for me on multiple Samsung and HTC devices (2 notes, 2 thunderbolts, rezound, 2 DNAs)

Just to follow up, took kids to dentist yesterday which is in a small town, outside of San Antonio. My phone had 1x, kids dnas had a couple of bars of 3g.
Swapped mine for a new note 2 (refurb) and is still dropping calls. Think I might just have to buy the extender...
