Farai WM 6.0
I am running
IPL/SPL 2.26
OS 2.18.0.0
RADIO 02.69.11
The signal will go down and I am not moving. It normal takes a soft reset to get it working again. I see alot of UK radio. Will they work on T-Mobile US. I did try the IPL/SPL 3.08 with Radio 2.69.11 and the internet was really fast. But it seem to do the same as the 2.26. Also is there a Xplor 1.1 with all the apps?
I a currently testing just the Radio 02.69.11. Signal is strong but wonder if it is reliable.

I've had nothing but problems with any Radio from 2.25 and new when on a WM6 ROM (and I've tried them on numerous WM6 ROMS). Biggest issue for me is lots of missed calls and missed SMS. But others on T-Mo US claim 2.69 and 2.61 work just fine for them on WM6, so YMMV (I'm on Cingular so it could be a carrier thing).
And yes, the T-Mo UK 2.19 Radio works fine in the US. Thats what I use all the time now. It isn't as fast to acquire a signal, and the signal isn't as strong in fringe areas, but for me it works and I don't miss calls or SMS.
I recognized, when switching wifi on - my gprs goes down. Doesn´t make anything because wifi goes even faster, but I wonder why GPRS looses 2 bars of strenght only by switching wifi on?!

OK, I've got two JAM's (backup for my boss in case he loses his, no joke, a definite possibility), so I've got the luxury of doing some playing with the spare. These are both 900/1800/1900mhz versions of the JAM bought before the 850mhz version was even available.
I was installing various radios (1.01, 1.05, 1.10, 1.11) seeing which is best. See xda-developers for instructions. I've got T-mobile sims in both JAMs.
I installed 1.10 radio (850mhz version) on the spare JAM, and I liked the speed with which it acquired a signal. Also the signal seemed to hold slightly better in my office, than the 1.05 radio version on my JAM, with both side-by-side.
So I do a little network check, by manually checking for available networks between the two sitting side-by-side. Well the 1.10 radio pops up and gives T-mobile and Cingular as options. And the 1.05 radio pops up with T-mobile and AT&T wireless only. Now I'm pretty sure Cingular in my area is only 850mhz, which would seem to be confirmed by this little test. Of course I can't connect to it, as the sim is T-mobile.
So I go get a Cingular sim from an employee, and pop it in the 1.10 radio JAM and do the manual network check, and Cingular and T-mobile again pop up as options. I pick Cingular and walaa, it connects with about 3 bars. I can make and receive phone calls. The upper right corner of the phone pad says Cingular as well. I then remove the Cingular sim and pop it in my 1.05 radio JAM. I do the manual network check and the only options which appear are AT&T wireless and T-mobile. I can connect to AT&T wireless but have only one bar.
So to recap, I put the Cingular sim in the 1.10 radio JAM (850mhz radio on device which is supposedly only 900/1800/1900mhz) and I can connect to Cingular. I put the Cingular sim in the 1.05 radio JAM (900/1800/1900mhz radio and device) and I can only connect to AT&T wireless not Cingular (it says AT&T wireless in upper right corner of phone pad).
To me, this means that the 900/1800/1900mhz JAM is really 850/900/1800/1900mhz (quad band) but only crippled to tri-band by the radio firmware. Am I all wet here?
edit- my model numbe is PM10A which is supposedly the 900/1800/1900 version.
What a great news!!! I am updating my only my radio image to 1.10 (w/ Chinese Dopod 818 1.06 for the OS) and see how it goes.

Apparently you could damage your GSM radio so that it might malfunction. However, I have seen a few people here who've used the 1.10 radio firmware without adverse results. Anyone have any more feedback?

Hey Guys,
Ive upgraded to the latest Vodafone WM6 ROM and was expecting to be able to get HSDPA connections, I live in Basingstoke and should (according to Vodas coverage map) be able to get HSDPA. I have also tried in Reading Newbury and Central London.
The max speed I can actually get is around 200kbits (average is about 140kbits) and I never get an "H" symbol just the usual "3g" one. Speeds were tested on the dsl reports mobile speed test with 100k download. http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1
Can anyone on the Vodafone UK network get an HSDPA connection? I have complained to Vodafone but they are useless.
I also found out that Vodafones network is currently being upgraded to support HSDPA data and Voice simultaneously.
I have a feeling HSDPA is currently still off on the UK Vodafone flavor of the ROM but it would be nice to have this clarified.
All opinions welcome......... Thanks in Advance.
Hi.. Can't help you with Vodafone but I'm on Orange with a wm6 750v and only get the 3g icon but it does use the orange HSDPA network when i connect to the internet. Much quicker than when I was on wm5 and could only get UTMS, think you get the 3g icon with wm6 whatever network it uses but I could be wrong. There was talk that Orange and Voda were going to mix their 3g networks for better coverage, maybe it has something to do with that?
Hi, I'm on Vodafone UK (contract). I was hoping for WM6 to have HSDPA natively on this ROM, but I too only ever saw the 3G symbol. Out of frustration I re applied the HSDPA hack for WM5.
Sure enough - HSDPA is present. It shows 3G, then when data is actively moving - it changes to a H.
I've done speed tests and can get over 700k download speeds.
I live in the Durham area with 100% HSDPA coverage.
After applying the hack, or after a reset - reset it again - for some reason it takes 2 soft resets for it to "take".
But you need to apply the old hack.
Hope that helps you!
Ive upgraded to wm6 on 750v but still needed to apply this to get 700+kbit/sec
http://www.gadgetech.info/treo/hacks/hsdpa/
'H' all the way now
Be warned - rumour has it that using HSPDA on 750v causes voicecalls issues (ie you wont get any if push email occurs) in certain parts of UK on voda network.
Cheers for the input guys,
Im a little bit upset that HSDPA has not been included in the UK 750V ROM-- I know why because Vodafones network isnt upgraded yet--- but palm could of at least told us this was the case!!
Sooo are we expecting another ROM update when Vodafones network is ready?
Would be nice to get some clarification!.
HSDPA is there. I installed the Vodafone ROM (though I did remove the extended ROM) on my generic 750. Not to rub salt in the wound, but I am on 3 and dslreports is showing me connected at 900-1015kb/s.
I haven't experienced the issue of having a HSDPA push connection and have voice quality issues. I am on the phone most of the day with email constantly coming through.
Works for me
Ok so I have the Vodafone WM6 legit Rom and the HSDPA patch/hack installed and it works fine. When I make or recieve a call on the phone whilst browsing it drops the connection down to 3G as shown by the symbol (changes from H to 3G) then when the call is ended it changes back! Battery drain is exactly the same as using 3G but I am getting speeds on Vodafone in Sheffield of up to 1mbs
If I find I have any problems I will let you all know!
My 750v is unlocked and I'm using it on 3 in the UK with the WM6 upgrade. Get great HSDPA speeds now. No need to get the hack (which never worked for me on WM5 anyway).
I thought it worked!
Ok so I was sending a large email the other day (3mbs attachment) and I tried to make a call while it was sending the mail over the HSDPA. The phone tried to dial and then hung up. I tried to call the number again and got the same thing! I stopped the email sending and even though it was not transmitting any data I still could not make a call! I disconnected the data connection and making a call was fine, it worked 1st time!
I have since uninstalled the hack at it works fine now over 3G speeds!
What a shame, I want HSDPA back
I'm in central London (W10 and SW1) in areas listed on Vodafone's site as being in HSDPA coverage. Although I have WM6 installed I have never seen 'H'. I'm wary of the hack after comments above describing problems.
Vodafone have no answer for my issue.
Has anyone on a WM6 hack-less 750v picked up HSDPA in London/UK yet?

i use the 750 with wm6.1
my current radio version is 1.54.30.10
i have a few dropped calls every day and would like to know if anyone here, on tmobile usa, that can reccomand me a radio version that has less dropped calls and better reception. thank you.
I'm having a couple issues with my data connection and was hoping someone could help. First, my phone keeps cycling between 3G (UMTS) and HSPA, even while I am actively using a data connection (installing an app, loading a webpage, etc...). Is that the proper behavior for the phone? I only started noticing it once I flashed AOKP (and now KingCobra 1x) but I assume that is because they both have stock 3G/H/4G icons instead of AT&T's 3G/4G/4GLTE icons. I understand that while idling the connection may move between UMTS and HSPA, but I assume that when downloading or loading a webpage it should stick to HSPA+.
Second, I am seeing very poor speeds no matter what radio I use. I performed a few speed tests outside with 5 bars of signal (-79db) on HSPA+ and the highest speed I saw was 3.0 mbps (average of 1-1.5 through my tests). My coworker with a Galaxy S III (AT&T as well) performed a speedtest in the same place and saw speeds of 6-7 mbps on HSPA+. We do not get LTE here (Philadelphia).
I have tried the AT&T 2.09 radio, 2.20 radio and the O2 2.29 radio and receive similar speeds on all of them. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to diagnose this issue? Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same issue, my phone cycles between UMTS and HSPA constantly which results in data not working for a bit when it switches.
Are you on AT&T? I'm on StraightTalk (using AT&T's network) using CleanRom 4.5, not sure whether this is a HW/ROM or network issue yet. Using 2.20 radio.

Yes, I'm on AT&T (not straighttalk, regular old AT&T). I'm currently using KingCobra but I had the same issue on AOKP. I was told that it's normal for it to switch between UMTS and HSPA, but it doesn't seem normal to do so when you're actually downloading something.

As long as it's not affecting your data it should be fine.
It affects my data though as my webpages don't really start loading until about 3 seconds after I press enter. It's not that the network is slow, it's that my phone literally doesn't start downloading data until 3 seconds after I press enter. When it starts downloading data the webpage loads up fast enough.

My phone was doing that with CR so I flashed the stock AT&T symbols and the AT&T 2.20 Radio. It doesn't show that it is switching anymore.
However the stock wifi tether doesn't work with the AT&T Icons, even with the mod.

Use Network Signal Info to see if it's still doing it. It might be and the AT&T symbol is just hiding it.
Mine will switch from UMTS to HSPA to HSPA+ constantly.
Hi,
I just bought my One S (had a Desire before that) and Im very happy with it, except for the signal and especially the mobile internet. I always had 3+ signal bars in my house, now I have 1 or sometimes none. I use my phone at school to google some stuff but while other devices (Blackberry Bold, S4 mini) can acess the internet I have no connection. Sometimes I have 2 bars and E(DGE) but my browser or Whatsapp wont work.
My friends have always 3G/H and inside the school I never have more than E, but I set my phone to GSM/WCDMA auto.
Sometimes the phone loses the connections even on flat areas like fields.
Is there a way to improve my signal strength? A new Radio ROM?
P.S: My One S has the S4, everything original and no root, S-ON
What software version are you on? And what carrier?
Mine has way better signal than my sisters S3 and it's about equal to my girlfriends Iphone4s, but we're on Telus/Bell network which has HSPA only, no 2g network, so I set it to WCDMA only. I haven't had any problems with reception dropping or data drops at all, but I've heard of some issues with the same phone on the Rogers network which has 2g as well like some of the US carriers.
Software Version: 3.16.401.9
HTC SDK API: 4.63
Baseband: 1.15.50.05.29_10.30.50.08L
Thats all I found under Software...
Im from Germany and I dont know if youre familiar with the carriers here, but I use congstar therefore the D1-network of the german Telekom which is pretty good here. Look like Im on the newest RadioROM, so how to improve my connection?
Looks like I'm on an older radio starts with 1.11 instead of 1.15. Does your network have regular gsm?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I can use EDGE when setting my phone to GSM only, but I have not more than 2 bars even outdoors...on WCDMA only I have none or 1 bar outdoor, in buildings: no connection. So yes, I have GSM and WCDMA.
Well I don't know, you could try rooting and flashing a different radio, and some build.prop tweaks that affect the connection, but there is no guarantee that will fix it. Is it still under warranty? Rooting may be risky if you're still under warranty. Could try talking to your carrier and see if they can do anything.
