I use IPL/SPL: 3.08 and Radio 2.69.11, never had a problem and i am in Queens, NY
I'm using IPL/SPL: 3.08 , Radio 2.19, never had a service problem and I am in New Hampshire
thanks for the info but you guys have G3's... i wonder if that matters?
G3, IPL/SPL: 3.08, Radio: 2.69.11, works perfectly in Oregon. I've been fortunate enough to never experience the missed call problem that so many speak of.
I use IPL/SPL: 3.08 and Radio 2.69.11 with zero problems. I'm located in Central Indiana. BTW I have a G3 phone but I don't think that will make a difference.
2.69, g3, 3.08 too in WA
2.19 seems very stable too, with a little bit less battery drain, but it does take longer to pickup a signal. both seem fairly equal in the reception (number of bars and call quality). battery drain seems like maybe 20 min difference on a full charge _if_ that and it may just be in my head, but i'm so used to having this thing plugged in all the time anyways
i did have an issue a few days ago, i think with 2.19, where txt messages took 3-4 hours to arrive, but i blame the rom i was working on or TMO... i hate their data network...
While the 2.19 series radio rom is considered most stable overall the 2.69.11 radio rom gives the best performance on the tmobile network...data transfer is significantly more responsive with latency roughly half what it is with 2.19.
For tethering 2.69.11 is the clear winner and I've not had any call issues with it.

2.19 is the best if you are on the T-Mo network
in the USA. You can even make better if you can add that Cingular fix cab with it. I will see if I can find it.

i know we all have different results with each radio, would you mind posting why 2.19 works best for you? better battery, no missed calls, fast data transfer, picks up signal quicker, etc?
IPL/SPL 3.08 w/ 2.69 Radio in Carmel, Indiana near Indy. No missed calls and good sound quality
thanks for the info. i asked because i gave my mom my Wizard (im gettin a Hermes) and i wanted to know what radio would provide a better signal than the crap she gets now lol. so from what im seeing, 2.19 or 2.69 seem like the better choices for the T-Mo network

I need to know the most stable Radio ROM for WM6. Even with 2.19 i was missing calls and text messages.
Since several days i use the 2.69.11 radio rom.
In combo with NBD.v4 (Not Big Deal) WWE which i am using for testing.
Overhere i had with all radio roms 1 til 0 bars. (Country side)
With 2.69.11 i have most off the time 2 bars inside my home and outside a full signal.
Althought i'm not a big caller i never had lost calls or disconnections.
Even when i am driving and use my Bluetooth GPS reciever and make a call via my Jabra bt200 i can recieve sms messages or sent them.
Without losing my 24/7 up gprs connection or call.
About the battery drain i can't tell you my findings because last couple off days i flashed my device several time and due the testing my device is almost 24/7 attached at my USB cable.
But i noticed when i am at work and my phone left at home, 8 hours later my phone has lost 10% off his power.
Until now no numerous problems

Faria posted an excellent thread earlier today and it seems to be right on the money... Basically the best radio rom is the one that works for your provider. Unfortunately WM6 seems to add a wrinkle to this so even the Cingular 2.25 doesn't work on Cingular well (or it doesn't for me). So I'm using the T-Mo 2.19 UK one and I haven't noticed any missed calls or SMS since switching to it. But every time I put 2.25 or higher on my phone with WM6 I see issues with missed SMS and Calls.
So if you are missing with 2.19, You should probably try another rom like 2.25 (Cingular or T-Mobile, but they are different, just the same numbers). 2.47 never worked well for me even on WM5 so I've never tried it on WM6. 2.61 and 2.69 both gave me lots of missed calls and sms.

Yep i've read that topic.
My provider has the 2.18 rom provided with there Wizards.
By luck maybe the 2.69 works for me.
I have had terrible problems with all radio roms above (and inclusive) of v2.19
2.69 > So many missed called, unbelivable
2.47 > Exactly the same as above, but much quicker at finding a signal
2.19 > Missed Calls (no missed sms), couldnt dial often (just ended) and signal kept dropping
2.07 > Came with the phone, and Im going back to it in a few mins! Never a problem!
I see on the ftp site there is a Summiter 2.17 . Anyone ever use that one?
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Only_Thread/Summiter_2.17_Radio_Only.zip
Also see there is a 2.07 on there from QTek (is that the one you are referring to, Whiterat)?
ftp://xda:[email protected] NLD (rip from 2180706 NLD RUU Prodigy).rar
If not, can you upload the one you have? Is it a radio only rom?
I use 2.25 from Cingular and seems ok!
Never miss calls ou sms!
Here's the link to Faria's post I mentioned:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1216360&postcount=220
Its worth a read. My own experience contradicts it some (ie: on WM6, the Cingular 2.25 radio doesn't seem to work as well as the T-Mo 2.19 UK radio for me), but for the most part I think it makes a lot of sense.
Upgrading the the latest radio isn't always the best thing. Find the one that works for you and then stick with it (for us geeks, thats hard not to always be on the latest version though )
mfrazzz:
I downloaded the original update from o2 (since mine is a mini s) Extracted the NBF from the installer then extracted the NBF into the individual NB's.
One of which is the GSM
If you would like it then I can upload to FTP.

My experience agrees with yours Mfrazzz. Since I moved to WM6 I've only had consistent luck with 2.19.11 UK. I've read that most of the issues seem to be with Cingular on the higher numbered radio roms. I had particularly bad luck with the 2.61 rom in missed calls and late notifications of voicemails, despite its higher signal strength and faster data throughput. I also tried the 2.25 Cingular rom, which worked well for me with WM5, but missed calls again. Since then, I've been paranoid about trying anything new.
Regards,
I have had missed calls and notifications with every radio rom and WM6 from 2.19 and up. 2.19 was the most reliable, but not completely.
Are you sure its not just crappy service or possibly you have no signal when your missing calls and texts? I have ran 2.19 with every rom I flash and have NO problems ever.

I can honestly say I haven't had any problems with missed calls/SMS with ANY of the radio ROMs. I've tried them all -- 2.19, 2.25, 2.47, 2.61 and 2.69.
The only dropped call issue I've had was due to the inability of the radio and GPRS playing together at the same time. But that's already been discussed as being one of the quirks of the Wizard . . . ad nauseum. So, no reason to revisit that. Once I was aware of it, it didn't matter and I changed some of the settings for my programs that automatically update so I don't notice the problem any more.
I'll have to go along with the line of thinking that it doesn't really matter so much on the radio ROM as it does the coverage area that you're in. But, that's just me. . .

After I flashed 2.19, it seemed to work ok, but a few days later my wife said she called me and left a voice message, I never got it (but it was there when I called my voice message). So, the next day I called myself from my landline a few times throughout the day. I had full bars on the wizard, and one of the calls didn't go through, although the phone rang 4 or 5 times on the landline end (not the normal 1 or 2 when the wizard is off). I then left a voice message, that never came through. I waited a few hours but I was never notified of a new voice message. I then called my Voice message and sure enough, it was there. I only happened 2 or 3 times, but it did happen.
My experience mirrors that of many others and I have tried to characterise the issue based on the state of the phone.
It seems that if I am "using" the phone for surfing (via WiFi or GPRS), checking contacts, playing Bubble Breaker, etc. then an incoming call will get through on radio ROMs higher than 2.19.
If the phone is asleep due to power save then the call will be missed. When I look at the phone under these conditions, the lights in the left and right softkeys illuminate but this then goes away.
With 2.19 I find signal strength here in South Florida and in my house not quite as good as later radios but it has to work as phone reliably which it seems not to on the later radios.
Has anyone else been able to isolate behaviour like this ?
2.69 on tmobile running xplore 1.1 i missed 25 calls and 15 txts in a 4 hour period (showed 3 bars of service).. boy i had some pissed people. back down to 2.19 for me...havent had much of any issue with 2.19 except it takes forever to regain lost signal
all wm6 roms must cook well done!
hi guys my personal opinion ,radio rom 2.07.10 is a best radio rom.this rom is perfect rom.i am living in capetown/south africa.i tried almost all radio roms on wm6.but no way.i always had big issue with miss calls,sms,slow gprs connection.if you dont have to use wm6 just turn back wm5.i dont know what exacly problem is on wm6?maybe our rom lords can give us nice solution,like faria,mo
ski and others.i thing wm6 isnt %100 ready for wizard yet.i am running faria wm5 3.3 and radio rom 2.07.10.i have no miss call issue.by the way thanks faria and all other rom cookers.

Well, since you are on my network and in my areal I think I will use this one.
I used T-Mobile Cellular Service , IPL/SPL 3.08 , Radio ROM 02.25.11 from USA T-Mobile .
Never have any missed call again !!!
Using Xplore 1.1 and previously Nottoosmart vanilla. 2.19 seems to be clearly the best one.
The other ones, I had weird problems where I would leave it in my pocket for like an hour or so, and I would get missed calls. My phone would work okay only if I'm using the phone, unlike keeping it in my pocket. Kindof hard to explain. It's like when I'm not playing around with the phone and stored in my pocket, my radio rom doesn't work.
For your voice mail problem, are you sure you have voice mail notifications activated? This should be in your voice mail options.
Many of you may think the subject of this thread is strange, and I don't blame you. Why would anyone ask this? Well, I have tested a handful of radio ROMs with a handful of the WM6 ROMs and the only one that seemed not to have the missed calls/messages problem is 2.19.11. I know some folks have reported that the problem seems to only affect Cingular users of the newer radio ROMs, but I am on T-mo and I haven't found a good one yet. The curveball factor here is that about 3 years ago, T-mo bought Cingular's network in California, and I don't know if this means I am experiencing the "Cingular effect".
Anyone here on T-mo in California (I am in Orange County) with push e-mail working and a radio newer than 2.19.11 that isn't missing any calls/messages?
bumppity bump
yup, I agree. I'm in So. Cal too.
I'm located in San Diego and I'm experiencing missed calls and dropped signals with 2.40.11. Although this one seems to have a better signal than 2.19 but I still have missed calls but it is a lot better of letting me know that I have voicemails.

Yeah, I think we are all going to see the same problems the Cingular users complain about with the newer radios...2.40.11 was one of the more promising options, too.

I should have known people down at Pendleton would definitely have experience with this! Good to have you here. Anyone else want to be a tie breaker? I may have to test 2.40.11 again now that my battery issue is resolved.

I have been using the 2.40.11 with NTS vanilla and have noticed no problems thus far. It seems to acquire signal faster than the 2.19 I had been using previously. I was thinking of trying the 2.61 or 2.67 which have been reported as possibly being better, but very few reports on these so I'm reluctant to switch.
The signal with 2.40 *may* be a tad stronger for me than 2.19, but in reality it is very hard to quantify. To my knowledge, there is not evidence that the number of bars can be reliably compared since it is possible that different radios may assign various bars for the same signal. However others have reported more dramatic differences.
I am in the SF Bay area using t-mobile.
I am not a marine, although my dad was one in WWII.
====================
13/5/2007- Correction.... I have not absolutely positively seen missed calls with this 2.40 radio. I installed it in both my wife's and my MDA. She missed a bunch of calls from and also I missed some from her. Then I tried when we were together and established positively absolutely that some calls are missed. We use t-mobile in the SF Bay Area.
I don't know whether to go back to 2.19 or try 2.67. But this rom is No Good. Nice features or not, the primary purpose is to be a phone and if the phone does not receive calls it is no good.
Well. I live in the 562 area. i tested all the latest radio rom and it seem that 2.19 is still the best one out there no miss call, but the other rom get better signal tho.
i run radio 02.69.11 and so far it works great.. its fast connecting and got better reception then the 2.25 (it said it was 2.19 in the filename) i had before..
have it running for 2 days now.
What is the best radio rom to T-mobile USA which will eliminate missed and dropped calls and provide better call reception?
2.26.11 T-mbile radio rom
02.19.11 UK w/XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2.cab
Additionally, can you flash either rom after installing TNT 5.0 Touchflo outright?
Can somebody post the roms for each radio listed above on this thread?
Thanks.....
I use 2.69.11. You can flash it after TNT5.0 as the flash only modifies the radio rom.
The installer is on the xda FTP site under /Wizard/Radio_Roms/ as "faria 02.69.11.rar"
radio rom question

You will probably need to experiment to see which radio will offer you the best reception, no-missed-calls, etc.
Yes, you can flash the radio rom of your choice after flashing your PPC with whatever flavor of WM6.

I have attached the radio and the patch.
You should give it a try.(IMHO)
Instructions:
create new folder and extract both zips to that folder
Run RUU and phone will reboot itself
You now have 2.19.11 UK Radio
Now copy the attached cab to your device and install the cab.
Soft reset and youre good to go.

You will just notice a considerable spike in your reception where you already had decent reception and also places where you had no service before, you see that you have enough of a signal to make a phone call or send a text.
For example, when I am at home, I always have reception with the original radio, but with the 2.19.11 radio I have full signal in my basement.
When I would go to my girlfriend's friends house out in the middle of nowhere, I had no signal at all with any other radio, but with the 2.19.11 radio, I have 2 bars and can still call and text freely. It's funny because my girlfriend who also has t-mobile has no signal at all on her razr out there... lol

My kaiser has a very bad signal compare with samsungi600, Nokia n73.
I flash all the radio already, however it only helps slightly.
so I wanna know is there any way to improve the signal of kaiser?

May I suggest flashing new radios.
My T-Mobile carrier in North Atlanta Georgia must've have did something to the local towers. For awhile I was using a radio that had full signal, untill two weeks ago, it only had two bars. After flashing a new radio, I had full bars. I flashed the old radio agian to make sure because it was the radio with the battery life, but it went down to two bars.
Make sure you have a correct radio, ie. radio for 6.0 or 6.1.
Just do a search, plenty of information, and this questions have a lot of answers.
By the way, those stick on antenna boosters don't work.
my rom versionis 3.03.405.0wwe
radio is 1.64.06.04
and also I tried 1.64.08.21
but It did not working well.
maybe I have to wait until HTC publish new radios, or all the HTC phones have pretty wake signals compare with nokia even with samsung.
thanks all your helps!

I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, US.
Radio 1.64.08.21 with 3.08.161.0 full bars.
Has the signal always been weak? On Monday, a T-Mobile tower was off for maintenance that whole day.
I am in Sydney, and useing the Three network (this company use Wcdma and GSM combination solution).
my phone is T-mobile version MDA.
maybe the version kaiser not working very well in my network.
lol, i was kidding about the cell phone booster thing, they dont work at all. just one question.......how is it that u are so sure that the kaiser has a weaker signal compared to your nokia or samsung?
because now I have three phones with me one for nokia N73, the other for samsung i600, last one is HTC kaiser. in the same place, almost sametime(I have to change the simcard) they shows different signal sutuation. for instance, kaiser only got one signal, samsung got 4 out of 5, Nokia got full.
when I use kaiser to make a phone call, in my room, sometimes it has been cut down because of low signal problem, it didnot happen for samsung and nokia.
therefore, I indicate kaiser has poor signal compare with samsung and Nokia.
and I wanna fix it as well. becasue kaiser is such a cool phone include all kind of functions.
the radio needs to change thats all test the radios till you find urs thats it.
hopefully, I can find one

You saying you tested both 6.0 and 6.1 roms. Since its a dual mode, go to Phone -> Band -> under Network Type, make sure its automatic. If not, I suggest just get a new phone.
I think the htc devices do have weaker reception than some other phones. I have had xv6600, 6700, and now tilt - all have worse reception than the phones my wife (moto rzr) and kids (lg venus, enV) have. Also my colleague at work gets a data signal on EDGE with his iPhone and I get no data at all at that location (4 bars for voice, rssi ~ 25-27).
Changing radios hasn't made any difference for me rssi values and #/dB of cells in fieldtest are always the same. I haven't studied the fieldtest program in depth, but that might be a way to objectively compare things.
nothing like that no diffrent than the others i have had quite a few my self i see drop signals after i flash but when i find the correct one its all good.
in your experiances, which radio has the best reception?
I have tried so many different radios with Dutty's latest 6.1 rom, and all of them continually drop calls. IS there a a Rom & radio combo that works efficiently in the uK?? I mean, dropping calls is a deal killer no matter how fun these roms are??
I have never upgraded to the 1.65 terror radio yet, and plan not too. Just looking for advice as thread searching has not worked out so well. Right now I am on 1.58.16.27, the last 1.58 had no GPS, but both drop calls within minutes.
Any advice appreciated
Have you tried the 1.64.08.21?
trying it now
will report back tonight!
phone rings, data & gps too: NO SOUND
Another disastrous radio. What is wrong? Could it be this rom?
same here, sometimes, only me could hear the voice from the other end, but they couldn't hear me, it happens after several minutes talk. some times, it disconnect from beginning, hell of it. 1.64.08.21
dropped calls are usually due to the phone service. How many bars are you picking up in your area? If you have 1-2 bars, I guarantee you will get a lot of dropped calls. If you try a stock T-mobile Vario III rom, do you get better possibilities? If this is the case, you might have to play around with the operator settings. I always get dropped calls in my house because of the low reception. I live in an area sorrounded by a lot of hills, so it's difficult to pick up certain coverages. When I go to work on the other hand, I never get a drop call. Hopefully this info can help you find a better solution to your problem.
had the wrong radio
I was using 1.65.14.06=disaster, let's see what 1.64.08.21 does. will report back
My mistake, please delete.
No Problems with UK T-Mobile here
I am have only recently upgraded my trusty Hermes (Vario II) to this Kaiser (Vario II) and here in the Swindon area and during journeys in the car have had no problems at all. In fact this Kaiser phone is far clearer that the Hermes ever was - I have tried 3 radio ROMs and all are great. I get a useable GPS lock within 30 secs without running GPS test too.
So I cannot agree with your comments about T-Mobile and the radios - could it be some other software that you are using? Is the radio poor as soon as you have the new OS ROM and new Radio ROM?
I use T-Mobile UK and I don't have these issues either. I have tried lots of ROM's in the last few weeks and all have been fine. I get the occasional "I answer the call but can't hear them" but I get that on my Imate 8150 also, so I think its a reception issue.
I'm currently using Laurentius26 V4 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389915 and radio 1.64.08.21 included in that ROM. The ROM is very good indeed, fast and stable, and the radio is as good as any I have used. Perhaps you had a dodgy ROM flash mate?
So far 1.64 08 21 : Data, GPS, & Voice work
Just need to wait a and try a bunch of calls to see if they stick or drop.
I am glad that radio works so far for you. Hopefully that one won't give you any problems, it seems to be one of the most stable radio's out there.
Hey up there, I have been using NoThrills Rom W6.1 with 1.65.14.06 radio, had no problems at all, good GPS and good battery life. The rom is quick too, and I'm from the UK
No probs here.
