Guys,
I'm having a small issue with my VarioII. it seems that no matter what ROM i put on my device, the Small G doesn't want to display, instead there is a small cross with two opposite arrows just above it.
Now i know this is just cosmetic as i do have a connection, however it is really bugging me.
I was originally running Dutty's 1st April with no problems, i then tried all the later versions of Dutty's Rom and L23 Diamond V5 all with te same problem.
I have tried all the Roms with a variety of different radios as well.
The really annoying thing is that i have now gone back to April 01 Dutty's and am finding the problem with this one no as well.
I know i'm not the only one with this issue, so would like to get some heads together on this as it seems to be a problem no matter what Rom is loaded on.
Any Ideas

I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the Diamond ROM. Bugs the hell out of me.
Anyone with any pointers where to start looking. I'm not after a hand out, just a starting point would be nice

I remember reading in some post that it was dependant on what SIM card you had?? This missing icon annoys me - I've always had the same SIM card and it worked fine before but since Diamond ROM's have been out the icon has been missing. This is the same for all the ROM's.

I had this issue also on non-diamond roms.
I have this problem only with Dutty's and L26's New Roms
Had the same problem with Dutty's Hybrid v2 ROM.
No solution found yet..
I am not sure but I think some rooms come with 3g disabled
make sure that 3g is enabled in commanger

Its not only about 3G, but also G and E
Well it's good to know that there are some others out there with this problem,
Just to clarify, it is happening with non diamond ROMS aswell. Dutty's 1st april Rom, (pretty sure this is not a Diamond Rom).
What really 'Grinds my Gears' is that it has started to happen on Roms which i previosly hadn't had a problem with. This leads me to assume that it's not a sim card issue.
B
It is caused by the 2 lines data hack.
So when every you go to data. 2 Icons will pop up. One is the data other is the phone.
When i'm on MSN + Radio (using G at the same time) I can get calls and sms without disconnecting.

and i also had this problem when i was using Dutty's ROM (19700,Radio1.65)
But this problem was wiped out since i've changed to another ROM (19400,Radio 1.27)
So, this problem can be concluded to be a Radio issue.

No i disagree upon that. It is not the radio issue. Only the "G" icon is suffering. There is nothing wrong with the "E" icon. Means that whenever we are entering in to area with Edge Coverage,it show "E". Hope somebody will come with a solution to this problem.

well... i forgetted...
The point is, when i've changed another ROM (19400,R 1.27), the problem gone.
Mine Kaiser was under EDGE coverage... and the E icon sometime got the damn problem...
Sorry to my hasty conclusion. And now, I'd like to say that the problem may have some connection with both Radio and WM 6.1 Core. But not absolutely is a Radio or a WM6.1 Core issue.
U can try another ROM (with different core version) or different Radio separately.
This is common bugs of cooked roms,Mostly I did experience with duttys and L26 Roms.Not related with radio.Try to take out battery some second after install a new Rom..I hope this help...
the same issue and with hypperdragon III wwe 6.1
when the phone is in 3g mode the icon of 3g is there.
only in the gsm mode the icon is missing
i have this problem on all L26 and Hyperdragon III,i think is the diamond rom bugs,i never have gprs icon on all this rom no matter what radio i use.

I disagree.. ...I've had the same problem with the Hybrid v2 ROM by Dutty.
This is not a Diamond port.

Hi I am running NBD v.8.3 wm6 on my mda and I am just hoping someone could tell me what the best possible combination is to create the strongest signal and create the best reception.
I have been using the T-Mobile 2.69.11 radio and was not entirely satisfied. It seemed quieter for some reason and some people could not hear me as well as with the standard T-Mobile 2.26.11 radio.
Right now I am using the Cingular 2.47.11 radio with the XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2 and my signal seems a little stronger. Like when I would be sitting here at my computer, I would only have like 1 bar with the 2.69.11 radio but now I have 2 but that still isnt good enough for me.
Is there any other combination that I have missed or a better radio out there? If anyone has any ideas, please post and let me know.
hey i got the same problem.. i have the tmobile mda and i think reception sucks, i would lose reception while just sitting in my house and at work. so wat i did.. is i flashed my fone with the tmobile 2.26 offical rom and than i flashed it with the XM6r3 rom just cause it works great for me and than i flashed it with the T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly ROM and so far it seems to be working great for me i'll have 1 or 2 bars at home but i havent lost reception yet... so give it a try and let me know how it goes..
The T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly ROM is the best I've used. I'm even using it now with the latest official Cingular ROM for the 8125 (Wizard 100)
what about the2.47 Cingular one
I cannot find the radio ROM 2.47 anywhere, can you guys help me and as far as 2.19 T-mobile UK only how is the battery life on your phone ?
Thanks

I have the file saved on my windows laptop...if you can't locate it PM me and I'll upload to rapidshare or something like that for you to get it.
I think there is still a radio rom directory on the XDA ftp and it might be in there.

Hi guys!
Is there any documentation, or just some user white papers, of what the difference between the diff. radio roms are? Does anyone even know, beyond the observation of which one gave their particular phone better reception? I'm curious just for the sake of knowledge
I'm running the 2.25.11 radio rom, on my Cingular 8125, and it works good, but lately I've missed/ignored a couple calls and my phone doesn't have the "missed call" icon on the top bar, my Phone program registers a missed call though.
I want to load up different radio roms and see which one works the best though, however I can't remember the instructions on doing that to my G4 CID-Locked phone. I've been looking around the forums and can't find it. Anyone point me in the right direction?
EDIT: I found the thread I was looking for. This thread talks about another radio rom and a utility to use on G4 phones, which can be found here.
Question for any knowledgeable people reading this. Can the G4 utility mentioned in the other thread I linked to, be used to load cooked roms too? Or is it safe to just load radio roms with it only?
I've tried them all and I've found the 2.61 radio rom to have the best signal.

I like the cingular stock radio 2.25.11
For me 2.47.11 radio rom works best.....Goodyear Az AT&T
I loaded 2.61 and haven't seen any difference. I may play with the radio roms later. I loaded the bundle referenced earlier. I wonder how much difference a ROM can really make on radio reception though. Still, an interesting experiment.
Yo all! Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306296
Thanks Wizeman! A good thread. He did is homework, it appears.
I've loaded the ROM he recommends but don't see any differece of note. Although a marginal difference would be difficult to see without a more scientific method than mine.
My desk is located where I will get and lose the signal - mostly no signal at all. I still see the occassional signal capture but no more than usual. Again, not very scientific. Nonetheless, I'll use the 2.19 since it doesn't appear to have any less performance and somebody has some measurements to support the case for this ROM.
I am confused though, since signal level is a hardware measurement (electrical measurement) and not a software issue. Oh well.
I am the one who did the measurements starter of that topic and of course still using 2.19.11
Oops ... didn't look, just read the post! I'm sure it was good for a chuckle though.
2.19.11 - Best Radio ROM
Undoubtedly, 2.19.11 is the best radio ROM for reception. I was always alternating between 1 bar and no signal at my work with 2.15 and now with 2.19.11, I have atleast 2-3 bars at all times. I am on T-mobile network.
I had numerous missed calls before but since the last 2 days after changing to 2.19.11 I haven't had one.
hi i was reading the black diamond thread and people were saying that they had problems with droped calls and that when they would get new sms their phone would crash was this ever fixed? in 3.0 or was it just the 1.0 and 2.0?
answer
hey. those comments are in reference to Blackdiamond 3.1. I got dropped calls with the ROM all the time and I couldn't end my calls ever, so I flashed another ROM. But i came back to this one and this time i tried the 2.19 radio rom with it and for the past week everything has been working fine. No dropped calls or any other problems. So just flash the 2.19 radio rom after you flash BlackDiamond. Hope that helps.

where can i get the 2.19 radio rom?
BD3.1
I've tested BD 3.1 and I can say it is one of the best ROM's around.
But i had my issues with it.
I got my voice on calls scrambled bad, people barely could hear me.
I changed a lot of RADIOS and no hope.
2.19.11 is very good but the signal meter didn't work on me with BD 3.1.
Now I'm on 2.47.11 and I'm using TNT's ROM as it is the base for BD either.
PSo some search for radio ROMs here around.

hey. i think he meant that TNT is the ROM that BlackDiamond (BD) is based off of. try the 2.19.11 radio rom and if that doesn't fix the call problems (even though it should) then i would agree with the other reply and go with TNT's rom, it's a good ROM as well.

in general speaking, you must have double registered the number (the same number registered twice) that's the only way that no name is shown on screen if you have registered. Please check if you have double records on your contacts or may be you caller id service is not activated call your service provider to check it up
scrolling with touchflow
scrolling downwards: scroll (slip softly) your finger from button to top without taking up your finger
scroll upwards: scroll your finger from top to button without taking up your finger.
stop scrolling: just click (tap) with your finger in the middle of screen once.
also try to use the top of your nail instead of your finger that will do better contact with the screen (of course if your nail is not sharpened - otherwhise you'll scratch your screen)

i just flashed my rom all over again after a system hangup..
i just lowered the volume, and it crashed..
but other than tha..no problems...so..just try it..
Ok guys ive run across this alot people downloading roms with radios that are designed to go with them and having trouble playing back video recorded on the device. I for one am having this problem i bought a new tilt 4-28-08
everything working fine, flashed duttys rom on 4-29-08, now this problem has arose. Now this thread is no way saying anything bad about Duttys rom i have had a tilt before and wore the thing out flashing his roms, he does awsome work this thread is to raise the question, has some thing been changed on the newer divices I know for a fact its not the rom and radio combination. I don't remember but on my old tilt i believe it had a 2 something meg on my new one its a 3 meg regardless somethings fishy.
I can't tell you if there is a difference in camera hardware or not, but I bought my Tilt about two weeks ago. First ROM I've flashed is Laurentius' V3 ROM, and I have not had any issues. It comes packaged with a radio. So far this ROM is superb, no issues to report from me, and much better of course than the stock ROM.

What has video playback got to do with the number of megapixels in the camera? And suntzu is right, the camera in the Tytn II/Tilt has always been 3mp (well, technically speaking 2.8, but who's counting!)
ive flashed three different roms the htc and the att versions of duttys april 29 rom and alexes att rom and had the same issue on all three roms on duttys i shouldn't have to change the radio because that is whats packaged with the rom why would he say it compatiable if its not, come on this is dutty, i don't think its the radio rom combination. any way i started this thread to get people with the same problem to respond and see if there really is a problem. ive taken all logical steps to correct this, redownloaded roms, changed radios, reflashed still no solution

Did you try it on the stock rom to determine if you just have a bad tilt? If you've tried multiple roms/radio's, it does indeed start pointing at the hardware but doesn't necessarily mean anything has changed. From a business standpoint it would not make any sense to just change the camera and keep the same model number....they'd add a letter or change it up a bit to identify which firmware was needed.
you are probably right about the Rom

yes the stock rom worked fine the camera works fine its the way it stores it to the phone i just tried 1.58.21.3, 1.58.25.14, radio and the camera would not work at all which is the problem with the rom and radio combos with duttys rom the camera works its just the video playback is crazy

I'll go ahead and try flashing that ROM to see whether it affects the camera on my new tilt too.
I think it's already been confirmed, but I'll confirm it as well:
The older Stock AT&T ROM I downloaded from somewhere off this forum (file name RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.57 - Originaly Shipped AT&T ROM.exe) did not work in terms of fixing the video camera issue. On top of that, it listed my processor as 7200.
I flashed with the newer:
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe
And the video camera works flawlessly as the day I got my tilt (which was about a month ago).
Seems a slight change in the phones has occurred to cause this issue in most of the cooked ROMS being put out right now. Hopefully someone will be able to pinpoint exactly what it is....
For now all we have to go on is the models with the 7201 processor. Anyone that mentions they have a newer tilt and has now problems, please double check the processor to make sure it lists 7201 and not 7200. That way we know whether or not checking the processor is a reliable method of predicting whether there will be a problem or not...

I tried Laurentius' V3 ROM just now. I still get the issue, although, when I go to the video album the thumbnail isn't the usual sold green image for the video. It's got big red dots patterned across it. Also, watching the video, I can discern some bright objects amongst the garbled colorful pixels. That's about it. This rom seemed considerably slower than Dutty's latest one. I guess I'll sacrifice the video camera until someone figures this issue out

Hi everyone. Excellent place here. VERY helpful, and the information flows like wine!
I bought a at&t tilt, i have sim unlocked it, and installed about 4 different roms. I have ended up going back to 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) standar HTC rom version. I like it the best.
However, i am having a hard time figuring out info about the radio. The battery life doesnt seem to be the greatest. And my wifi signal strength is shockingly bad, or so it seems anyway.
Am i able to use a better radio with this rom? Can someone recommend something that will will work without any problems, but will be an actual improvement radio?
I've read the wiki, and have tried searching, but like a lot of other people, it almost overload of info. I would really appreciate it, im going out of town, and having this thing run at bettter performance would really make me happy.
I appreciate any recommendations!
ive been using the niki radio in my signature (downloadable in the wiki) in eastern us and have had no problems. letting everyone know where you are would help in recommending a radio
There are a whole bunch of radios, and there is no clear cut winner. As long as your radio is compatible with your rom, then you gotta test out of all the radios compatible with your rom, which one works the best.

Hi everyone. Excellent place here. VERY helpful, and the information flows like wine!
I bought a at&t tilt, i have sim unlocked it, and installed about 4 different roms. I have ended up going back to 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) standar HTC rom version. I like it the best.
However, i am having a hard time figuring out info about the radio. The battery life doesnt seem to be the greatest. And my wifi signal strength is shockingly bad, or so it seems anyway.
Am i able to use a better radio with this rom? Can someone recommend something that will will work without any problems, but will be an actual improvement radio?
I've read the wiki, and have tried searching, but like a lot of other people, it almost overload of info. I would really appreciate it, im going out of town, and having this thing run at bettter performance would really make me happy.
I appreciate any recommendations!

to be honest dude radio performances vary by region; something that works great for me here in mclean, va USA probably might not work great for you. It really is just a lot of experimenting with different radios until you find one that gives you good reception and battery life. I believe that the stock htc rom is wm 6 so any wm6 radio will be compatible with the rom; just need to try, try, and try again to see what works best for you.
If you live around metro dc try the radio in my sig... but wait thats a windows mobile 6.1 radio so don't

My cellular reception is actually really nice! my main issue, is this: i live in a condo, and last night, i went out on my balcony. i was about 15 feet diagonally away from my linksys wrt54GL router, and i wasnt getting ANY wifi. the only thing seperating my phone and router was the wall.
gps signal seems great, with Garmin. Google maps however, i cant get to find a satellite to save my life!
So what everyone is saying is that noone really knows. Im in Miami using T-Mobile and i just installed HardSPL and it worked like a charm. Now i want to install a new rom and theres a bit too much info for me to untagle at this point. So far i gather that some rom's come with different and changable radio versions built in while others work with only 1 version. Now im curious.... how does one install and change these radio settings?
can i just download one and install it?
is there any thread or some sort of complied radio proformances by region? how do these radio versions differ by regional location? i have so many questions....

seems like everyone has got a radio question today but here is my answer to help u:
u need to flash a radio like u flash a rom. when u download a radio it has the customruu.exe w/ it. key is to remember one thing: wm6 roms work w/ wm6 radios and wm6.1 roms work w/ wm6.1 radio only. most roms will work with different radios unless the chef specifically has it matched to one radio only.
for more info plz read kaiser wiki.
p.s. while flashing radio ur phone has to be sync w/ pc
>> I have ended up going back to 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) standar HTC rom version. I like it the best
radios 1.27.xx.xx are the only that will be compatible with WM6.0 ROM. Newer 1.5x.xx.xx and 1.6x.xx.xx radios will cause the following issue:
You are going to lose multimedia sound completely: no ringtones, etc, etc.
In call sound will be likely still functional, but I don't belive that this is something you are looking forward to anyway.
I cannot recommend you the best radio for you ROM, but some would say that : 1.27.12.32 is the one.
I hope it helps.
I'm using dutty's rom WM6.1 WWE Rom. I havent changed the Radio yet. I've been using the ROM for about 2 months now and everything was working fine. But recently my phone won't ring. I can still make and receive calls though. Could the problem be because I haven't changed the Radio?
I have have problems listed below with new build roms :-
- Missplaced effect to screen taps i.e. press htc home tab instead effects plugin below like calender pops up, or when using the on screen keyboard it enders the letter below the one i select.
- When doing a finger 'flick' or 'drag' scrolling in for example programs menu, when i begin it on a program icon, which on older builds would be ok, in newer builds, it will begin to scroll but the program will also be activated.
- Also when scrolling on file explorer, if i hold my figer on screen while scrolling up, the hold menu (one that pop's up when you select and hold on a file) will pop up. This while its actually scrolling.
Notes
-I do perform hard resets after every flash even just radio flashing.
-I have performed several realignment of the screen.
-Tried all possible radios compatible with the roms.
-Tried reflashing oem rom then back to wanted roms.
-Tried redoing Hardspl.
Solution
Using Kaisertweak here attached change TouchFlo Sensitivity to Normal.
yet again no help yet new 'best rom' threads still get replies 'sigh' well whatever.
i have 1.65.20.29 but haven't had any problems that u decribe.
you *HAVE* to use a compatible ROM. You can't just toss it against any WM6 or even WM6.1 ROM. If the ROM wasn't intended to be used with a 1.65 radio, you WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.
What ROM are you using?
-Mc
I am using the radio's specified for the roms all the new builds = 1.65.xx.xx right? unless its hybrid, in on NoThrills build .19202 that only works with 1.65.xx.xx roms as well as every other .19202+ unless some hybrids e.g. dutty's, and all of them as long as i use that build of radio gives me above problems. I do know my stuff on radio - rom compatibility
Sorry I don't know how after all these replies and nobody has stepped up to say I find it VERY hard to believe ANY of those problems would be caused by the radio. Enough Said.
**I see you finally re-edited your post after all this time, and REALLY YOU THINK???? Someone with a post count of yours should have know from the start**
For the screen issue, try and re-align your screen. Start/settings/system/screen/align screen.

I guess its an isolated problem must be my device then like how when i removed a screen protector i put on the device on the day i got it speed it up. But i dunno how to tell the carrier i installed a different rom from that you give by default and its the one that shows my device is faulty.

I have done screen re-alignment its a problem that occurs from time to time sometimes more frequent than other times.

Any users of above radios get such problems?
- Missplaced effect to screen taps i.e. press htc home tab instead effects plugin below.
- When scrollling with touch flo still selects program you place finger on while scrolling.
- E-mail accounts deleted (one happened once recently dunno if it could be with the radios)
I've tried posting in rom threads of this problem and got nothing except that knowone else seemed to have the problem? if these are new radio for new build would any new official releace builds have such radios? and if so could i have a hardware problem? would i need to replace my device? i have an MDA Vario III is it that the builds are originally ATT.

Have you tried flashing the stock rom that your phone came with, and then flashing dutty's...doing a hard reset...etc? I have seen that get rid of a lot of just really random/weird glitches, which it seems is what you have.

I dont have said problem with dutty's roms since they are hybrid and so allowing me to use any radio problem isn't with the rom its radio just newer builds only work with the problem radios if i try a different radio with the roms buit to work only with the problem radios apart from camera and sound issues i don't have any problems with them, (any problems i mentioned above) thats why i say my problems are because of the radio.

I'm not entirely sure what you just said, but even on the hybrid only one version is compatible wiht the new radios. That's why there are 2 versions of each rom that he made of the V2 Hybrid. One for the 1.65.xx.xx radios and one for all the other radios, a cube, non-cube, and lite version for each radio.

Damn.... had a VERY hard time reading this one.
Start using more line brakes, ponctation, and such...
Did you HARD RESET after flashing ROM's?

Well i used the version that worked with the old radios but changed to a different one because of other issues.
My point was the radio the radios + new build or even old build = the problems for me.

Yes 150% sure + Camera and sound worked fine, its not just with dutty's roms it's with all new builds iv tried NoThrills, TNT professional and vanilla, Hyperdragon and the newer PDAVIET ones.
i had a problem
my cell was making a static sound with the 1.65 radio and I am using dutty's v2 with no cube. I think it's not compatible with the rom, i went back to polaris 1.58.21.23. It's the best rom for me, although i still get calls in which the calling party can hear me while i cannot hear them (maybe every 2 out of 10 calls i receive).
Any Help from the senior members?
So nothing i can do?
Any tips on telling your carrier my device has a problem only noticeable through the use of custom roms and radios.
Which Hardspl have people used from looking around it seems they are two which is the more common one? only post if you are using 1.65.xx.xx radio with no problems .. thats probably everyone else using the radio ( Yes desperation is setting in)
Help experts plz
On the new 'official' rom with a 1.65.xx.xx radio which flashes both rom and radio and to work i would have already carried out a hardspl so the problems aren't down to me HELP! and for the record problem only there with 1.65.xx.xx radios yes i am sure i have carried out tests and i only have the problem with these radios so don't patronize me plz.
