I just finish to download the new radio version for our devices. I can not tell you my impressions about the new radio version, but you can download in Wiki, placed on a folder.
couple of questions on the Radio ROM
1. It looks like it is a G4 Radio ROM. Will it work on the G3 version? If not, where can I find the latest Radio ROM for the G3 version?
2. Does it enable Blackberry Connect support on the Prophet by any chance?
Thanks.
Isn't this the Radio ROM from the Wizard? There is a topic in the Prophet part of the forum that discusses this..
I thought the latest original Radio version for the Prophet was 2.30.21.
I also tried the 2.47.11 on my Prophet. Reception was better, but battery life was drammatic
Wizard, Tornado, Prophet, Oxygen, Artemis, Excalibur:
all these models are based on pretty much same platform.
Latest Radio ( GSM firmaware) for these devices that I am aware of is:
GSM 2.67.90
Just thought that I will let you this know.
Yes I noticed that the reception is much better but at cost of the battery duration. Let me still making more tests about these new Radio.
my radio rom is 2.19.21 how and and how I would get the newst stable?q
The cost is very expensive, at least for me. Just one night, without calls, or touch the Prophet full charge and in the morning the batery meter is almost 26 % less !!!!!!!! Guauuuuu! is to much, you don't think so?
Let me still testing.
Yeah, I already tried this radio rom on my S200 and it drains a lot of batt. I don't recommend it to anyone...
I revert to the other radio rom that is floating around here, but I think that also drains a little more that the official ones....
so which radio rom version we/I should use? And where can I download?
I foud something is not right. When I like to turn the device on, (right button) to make a call phone or make a consult or whatever, the device is dead, so I have to make a soft reset. That's pass me very often, so I decide to revert to other radio version, I mean, to 02.30.21.
My impression about this Radio Version:
Pros: Better signal in all aspect.
Contra: Battery duration, inestable.
So, end of my private testing.
ok. this is something that I would like to check:
The standby mode power consumption is 21mA which it doesn't meet the spec.(but if pressing the key lock into
standby mode, the power consumption is 2.1mA.)
please keep your keypad locked at all the time and see if that will improve battery life.
I wish that I could explain better
this should be valid for all devices with this radio. not only for wizard.
Thanks.

Hello,
I use a prophet whith an older radio 02.30.11.
Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?
I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?
edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?
I tested this radio ROM long time ago when it was first posted here. But I changed back to 02.30.21 after one day.
It was a terrible experience, the device automatically reset during conversations very often. One day, I had to reset the prophet for more than 10 times!!!!!
So, I went back to 02.30.21 right away. And I also warned others not to install this radio ROM in this forum, too. I can not believe you guys are still so brave to take the risk.
@andrew_sh
Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?
Yes, that is correct. this bug present in 02.47.xx radio and is fixed in later radios.
I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?
Good! I have same result on all my test devices.
edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?
I have not meassured it myself. Information in bold is per ... technical documentation

What about the 2.67.90 rom?
Has anyone installed it on a prophet?
Any results?
@andere_sh
2.67.90 is fine on Excalibur, Oxygen and Artemis..Really. much better than 2.47.xx

I'm back to radio version 2.30.21 and everything going like a charm, fantastic.
were can I download for my prophet 2.30.21?Mine is still running:
2.19.21
You can find that Radio ROM on the FTP Or use the search...
hey
does it matter which version of IPL/SPL you have?
i noticed a lot of roms asks for ipl/spl 2.xxx, mine appears to have upgraded itself to 3.08 while i was trying out my home brewed roms!
could anybody shed any help on this?
thanx
3.08 is perfectly fine...
Just that most roms were cooked b4 3.08 came out. I'd be worried only if you had a 1.x IPL/SPL...
well it seems to be occasion to ask:
- can i flash ipl/spl without need of flashing system(xplore in ex.) again,
- does it really matter: i am using 2.xx now, is 3.xx better one?
- should i go back to wizard love to flash ipl/spl?

1. Yes, you can flash IPL/SPL without reflashing the OS. Just look for an IPL/SPL-only ROM. REMEMBER TO NOTE WHETHER YOU HAVE A G3 OR G4.
2. If you're on 2.xx, flashing to 3.xx isn't really necessary. I did it myself and I only notice ~10-20% faster in boot time. Otherwise, I don't really notice a difference. Some people may beg to differ though.
3. Don't quite understand what you're asking here... I've never used it myself but Wizard Love is generally used if you have boot problems... Whenever you flash a new ROM, it is highly recommended that you first flash to T-mo 2.26 or your latest carrier ROM first. Don't really know why, but from the experiences of many members here, your will encounter less problems with your new ROM.
thanks for reply...
ok, last question so far:
- are these "problems" battery related?
i have strange random issues with my power management, regardless of any method i am trying to use... it was ok, after hr is not... no clear pattern.... ;/

the only difference i can notice on 3.xx over 2.xx is the boot time...it is incredibly faster on 3.xx...

What is considered OK? What is considered not? What are you experiencing exactly? More info plz...
before i changed my ipl/spl to 3.08..
i was running ipl @ 1.01 and spl @ 2.something.. (cant remember)
so it doesn't really matter... i could do everything i wanted...
you know, i cant find reason of power drain i am experiencing; its unclear for me completely.
everything was ok, i started to make some registry changes, and i went too far, did HR, and after setting everything again i charged battery to max and then i noticed 240-290 mA drain, cpu temp was 32-33 degrees ! softresets didnt help, so it may be some kind of internal counter, that do not reset, and machine thinks, that battery "is not" charged to max, despite showing 100%...and its discharging as mad...
now i am trying to discharge battery almost to the max and charge it again... i will see whats happen... everything was ok before HR, only tweak i used related to power was htc power management tweak... now, after HR it didnt help... i have 34 mA drain after turning machine on, but in few secs its 240-290 again... not 120, not 140, 240-290... with wifi, irda, and bt turned off..
also, machine is discharging when turned off, i mean fast power loss, noticeable faster, than usual...
i hope, that method with charging it to the max and charging again will help...
its so damn annoying..
machine was flashed with 100% battery charge, btw..
sorry for LQ english..

Numerous people have had a number of issues trying to run WM6 when the IPL or SPL was 1.xx. It DOES make a difference. The fact that it worked for you meant you were either lucky, or not seeing some of the issues (the entire rom wasn't broken, but certain features didn't work, or didn't work correctly). Go read the early WM6 threads and some of the major complaints on those roms were fixed when the phone was re-flashed so that the IPL and SPL were both 2.xx. The same issue tended to show up again when others had an IPL or SPL of 1.xx (so it was reproducible).
Dear All,
As per title, any body know how to overclock over 624mhz speed, and also stable for our Uni ?
I use XCPUScalar & Pocket Hack Master to overclock to 663 or more higher, my Uni will always hang. Any guys have sort the problem ?
Thank in advanced !

My Jasjar hangs at any speed over default...
So you are not alone...
In fact I have reached only the 630Mhz speed with G4,stable
And the default 520Mhz with G3.
I am doing some Benchmark tests and comparisons with G3,G4.
As I finish I will post the results on the G3 AND G4 DIFFERENCES post.
I saw other forum, they have direct overclock at the ROM, not to use third party software to tweak it....but is Asus PDA Phone
Did u try pocket hack master?

Yes, try it before. But always white screen and hangs....
well with jwrites 2.10.08 n new DFT release overcloking works gud in g3 device of mine with no hangs !
touching wood and all that, I have started overclocking my G3 , Ranju wm 6.1 and it flies....no reset, no nothing...it just flies. so far iot is only 1 day, full usage of pohone , calendar and office...
I have noticed a slightly higher battery consumption but I am not sure.
Ranju vers 7.1 has an appl that allows the overclocking

Which Radio and Rom use the other Uni??? Any other Installed Software differences??
all the same
Which Radio and Rom use the other Uni??? Any other Installed Software differences??
-they have same
RADIO=1.18
ROM=luca's vanilla 23016.5.3.0
same applications and programs installed..
in short identical UNI..
Same here some time ago.
Solution: My RSS-feed-reader tried to connect every 5-10 minutes. Even the Uni was closed. So the batts were empty in about 1 day.
Maybe you have a programm like mine...

thanks for your help CHOSEN_ONE....but the programs i have on my two uni were all stock or i should say pre-installed software from luca's rom...and i think none on its programs or software are draining my battery fast..it so happen that only on that specific uni it drains fast...but the other it last more than a day..
experimental solution
1. ive downgraded my radio from 1.18 to 1.11
2. configured activesync option for server connection..ive switched the connection manually under the schedule option..
as a result it somehow slows down the draining time..but it is still under observation..i will just post here my findings as soon as i get some good results..
thanks for all those who helped me out so far..

Radio definitely one important point for Battery, second is the band wide 3G/GPRS. Setting your uni to 3G will sure use more power. The age of the hardware (screen, and others) may also effect your power consumtion.. I dont remembr but here in this forum is a tool to check power consumtion per mA..you may look in to that

thanks for your help sir..
im using 1.11 radio instead of 1.18 (experimental solution)
im also using the GSM band not the 3G/UMTS (not using 3G eversince)
the hardware version of my uni thats draining fast is G4..
i also have a G3 and another G4 which works fine with 1.18 radio..
if i do have a time i will search for that consumption per mA thing...
my uni is now working fine..
hey guys...thanks for all of your help...
my uni is now working fine..
my little experiment works....
1. ive downgraded my radio from 1.18 to 1.11
2. configured activesync option for server connection..ive switched the connection manually under the schedule option..
after several days of testing have I come to the conclusion that radio 2.06.50.04 is "slow", at least for my region/provider (/DENMARK/TDC)
"symptoms"
- when phone comes from lock screen, unresponsive for one or 2 seconds.
- activesync/sms sending delays, when pressing send
- spontaneous connection lost, especially in bad reception areas
- comm manager turning "phone" off, all by itself.
my stock Leo was delivered with 2.05 no problem. upgrade to 2.06 resulted in connection problems which manifested in some of the above symptoms. upgraded to 2.07 a few days later, and problems disappeared. didn't give it much more thought.
when the "576MB RAM tweak" appeared, I changed ROM and downgraded to 2.06 of course . problems arose again. At first I thought it was the ROM, so I tried 3 different 576enabled ROMs. Also I travelled to several locations, locations where I knew there should be optimal reception. After 3 days of testing with 2.06, changed back to 2.07 on same cooked ROM, and everything fine (besides having less memory)
Just so you know why your new ROM can appear "slow", and it most likely is not the ROM As said, I'm pretty sure about my case, but hope others can confirm/deny.
- when phone comes from lock screen, unresponsive for one or 2 seconds.
- activesync/sms sending delays, when pressing send
- spontaneous connection lost, especially in bad reception areas
I experience the exact same issues.. Allthough i haven't seen my comm mananger turn the phone off by it self (yet!)
I also have an issue with poor performance when writing sms after i applied the 1.66 update i do however not suspect the new radio to have anything to do with that.
There is another 2.06 version 2.06.50.23 did you try that one? I think that might keep the 576 RAM.

Interesting... will try it out...
it could be that you need to use the corresponding rilphone, but all radios work differently in different parts of the world..
You are trying to use one from a leaked beta rom, not surprising if it has some issues..

I got the German Stock 1,66 ROM from the Official HTC Page.
Noticed same problems with this Radio.
But i'm new in the Radio Area can i flash it to another Radio version without Hardreset my phone? and which version would be the best without hurting my device software?
i suffered similar problems with 2065004, since i installed 2065023 all problems have gone and battery consumption is great. i believe that the 23 is simply the improved version since it also gives the extra ram. it might even be possible that the radio's are different braches like the roms,(ie. 205 series, 206 series, 207 series) since only the 206 will give the extra ram.
vodafone netherlands
Use the new 2.07 radio here then (2.07.50.27_2) it still has the extra RAM
"downgraded" from 2.07.51.05_02 to the prososed one 2.07.50.27_2
can confirm 576MB tweak working with this version
will test tomorrow on several locations and test if this radio is more stable than 2.06.50.04 (which also has confirmed 576MB working).

I'm bored of reinstalling all software etc. on my device ^^
For hidden RAM etc. i wait while the cookers finish all there ROM's , also WM 6.5.3 gets official upgrade i read
I update to Radio_2.07.50.27_2 and seem a little bit fast(is it because 576 ram?!)and the reception looks not very good
Cna you update the radio rom without flashing the main device? (I.E not loosing all of my data and keep the 1.48 rom but with updated radio?)
You can without losing the data.
which language is it?
the radio would not change my german?

Does not support the 576 ram.
after another day of testing, driving, testing etc...
2.07.50.27_2 is best (for me ) supports 576MB and stable connection
2.07.51.05_02 also stable but no 576MB support
2.06.50.04 576MB support, but not stable for my region/provider.
