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
technobluff--
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.
Mfrazzz has all of the radio roms that you asked for here in post #2

Is the Cingular 2.25.11 radio in the above post the same as the US T-Mo 2.25.11? I want to try at that 2.69 radio but want to make sure I can easily get back to my T-Mo 2.25.11 if start having problems with it.
I Did Try 2.69 But It Eating Your Battery Very Fast , 2.6.11 The Best For What I Seen , Been Using It For 6 Months
Anybody has the link to the 2.26 radio rom for tmobile?

I would think so too???
Why use the UK 2.19?
so we run the flash for radio, and then the radio fix?
Or other way around.

Not a bad radio but I experience missed calls and there are no notifications at all letting you know there were calls or messages or voicemail at all.
I reccomend T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK Radio with cingular radio fix 2 patch.
tmobile site
Thats for the entire rom. I was also looking for just the radio rom portion
Anybody running the 2.61 radio rom for Tmobile? What is your experience on missed calls and reception?

I'm tellin you, you want to use the 2.19.11 UK radio plus the cingular radio fix2. I have tried every radio mentioned in this thread in the pursuit of resolution to the missed call and bad reception problems and finally found it with the 2.19.11 radio.
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.
thank you for the straight up install answer.
I went ahead and did it.
I am soft resetting as we speak
how can I confirm that it worked?
Thnx!!

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

no problem. ive been using this radio for months and wouldnt trade it for anything.
nevermind please disregard this post. it was an accidental double post.
so i've been out of the wizard game for a little over a year. I'm using the t-mobile usa mda and have really bad service and would like to try this. so if someone can help me out i would really appreciate it. i take it i have to first upgrade to wm6 for this to work? yes?
As some users, including me, have serious 3G problems, it would be great if someone who has a newer radio rom then 1.27.12.17, could dump the rom and share it with us ? I noticed that the phones from NL and/or DE have maybe newer radio roms then htc.

mmm I think you need a NBH file to extract the radio NB apart and flash with CustomRUU. I Beleave you can't extract the radio from the device (but i'm not sure...).

I am also using Radio version 1.27.12.11 on the AT&T Network in the US and I have no issues with my data connections. My phone switches between 3G and HSDPA while browsing/downloading, and my mobile speedtest is rated at 1.2mbps.
you can not dump a radio from a device sorry to say you have to have the .NBH containing it
I was having serious 3G issues in Northern Viginia. Every time my phone tried to get onto 3G, it would crash the radio. I'd lose voice and data. Edge and GPRS worked fine. Grabbed the 1.27.12.17 from ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar and things work great now. ~1.1mbps.
Thanks for the radio link! Appears to be working fine with AT&T in NJ, USA on my Tilt with the Helmi Kaiser 1.57.000.1 AKU.0.7.0 cooked ROM.

I noticed the "radio" in question has a lower version than i have on my tilt. I am curious if this one is actually newer and if anyone else is using it. If it is newer and others would like it to play with, i would glady dump it. I will need to find out how to dump it as i have never tried to dump one before. My device information page shows the radio version as 1.65.21.18

1.45mbps on mh tilt with radio 1.58.25.17
WOW...now that is thread resurrection if there ever was one.
So I know that ROM choice is a matter of preference...but what about Radio version?
I assume (haven't tried i yet) that the ROM is flashed separately from the radio (as it was on my 6700)?
Is there a good post somewhere regarding the pros and cons of each radio version? I could not find one...
Should I assume that the latest version is the best, and if so...what is the latest and where do I find it? (again list of all radio versions would be nice if anyone has a link to thread)?
I have a Tilt BTW with AT&T...so if there is a particular version superior for my service that info is appreciated.
Thanks again!
yeah right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as: The latest Radio is the best. It also isn't as simple as: A particular version works best with the Kaiser. Another factor to take into account will be your location, as the radio will determine what kind of signal you get when using your phone/GPS/GPRS/etc. Your best option is to try each of them out and see which one is best for you, i.e:
Which seems gives you the best signal?
Which seems to give you the best Battery Life?
As it seems you're new to the Kaiser, you should know that nothing is as straight forward as it seems

I'm running NoThrills WM 6.1, with the only compatible radio, and I have no issues with 3G/HSDPA in Philadelphia and South Jersey. Even amongst the steel beams at Citizen's Bank Park last night, I was getting full bars with HSDPA available the whole time.

I'm using 1.65.14.06, but I am not sure which other ROMs it may be compatible with. At the time that NoThrills released his 6.1 ROM, it would only work with his because part of it is OS Version dependent.

Is this radio capable with stock TILT? I'm currently using that at the moment while I familiarize myself with the device, and would like to recieve HSDPA and am in the philly area. I have applied the necessary kaiser tweaks, etc. but still no H on my screen and mid range 3G bars.

No. This radio requires a WM 6.1 ROM and AT&T has yet to release their official upgrade from 6.0. HTC just released their versions yesterday, so AT&T will probably have something within a week or two.

For all of you who don't have an H, only a 3G. Make sure you've enabled HSDPA. The simplest way is to install "kaisertweak." You should all be useing it anyway because it's such a great tool.

"H" means HSDPA (2nd Generation after GPRS), "3G" means UMTS, (3rd Generation), i think so...
Because ive a "H" with my non UMTS-compatible, and a "3G" with my UMTS-Compatible phones...only a idea...
I'm running Dutty's Apr29v2 with the 1.64.08.21 radio and I have 3G and H signal in Santa Ana, CA... I also tried the Niki radio, 1.58.16.27 and had great service w/ 3g & H. Battery life is a little better with the 1.64.08.21 from what I saw but gonna go back and try that radio again soon... Let you know...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Packet_Access
and to those running Dutty's ROM- there's an option to enable HSDPA in the connections menu and/or you can use the registry hack to enable the icon.
For what it's worth, the stock tilt ROM never gave me the "H" icon- it always said 3G no matter where I was

My stock ROM displayed 3G for about 1 day. Then I resumed feeding my flashing addition left over from my Wizard and haven't seen anything other than H for 8 months now.
I have been experimenting with various kaiser radios recently. I have had good success with almost every radio I try BUT about every 45 minutes I will no longer be able to send/receive text messages, make or receive phone calls... In order to re-establish connectivity I must pull the battery, but it back in. power the phone back up, I will be told I have no service. Then I must once again pull the battery and try again. Usually on the second try I will get a signal. At that point its anything but reliable, it will drop connectivity, but still report a signal anywhere form 5-30 minutes after.
Currently Im running the official 3.34.721.2 WWE rom, 1.65.21.18 radio, and SPL-1.0.OliPof. I have a kaiser 130, unbranded, and my carrier is AT&T.
The issue existed with pdacorner v18, and every 1.7x.xx.xx I tried.
What am I missing?
My first guess would be your SPL, it's hella old. Try upgrading that to one from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
3.29 is most recommended one for newer roms
ok, flashed 3.29 hard2, i will have a status report in 30 (ish) minutes
Ok I tested the SIM in another phone, just for quality control. I no longer even get a signal. I tried both the 1.65.21.18 and the 1.71.09.01 radios. I also hard reset just for good measure for both radios. is there some kind of master-reset for the radio? i am going to leave the battery out for the rest of the evening.
After leaving the kaiser with the battery out for 6 hours, I still have the same issues. It plain doesn't make sense. Does anyone have any ideas?
reflash the stock at&t wm6.0 rom let it go threw its set up and all, then reflash the stock att 6.1 rom! i had similar issue with my phone at one time and just reflashing att 6.1 didnt fix it, had to do att6.0 then att6.1 then i was back up and running
Ok, I flashed the oldest wm6 wwe rom I could find. The problem did not get any better, I can no longer use wifi. What is the cause of this nonsense!!
similar problem here, but I had not updated the phone at all at this point. This week I've now tried AT&Ts official 6.1, HTC 3.34.721.2 with radio 1.70.19.09, nothing works.
Where about in the country are you guys located? Also, we should take this discussion to the radio thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
Please answer these for us:
Location!!!! Be specific, ie Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Also, what is the exact current state of your phone? ROM info, Radio info, Hard SPL info.
As well, what phone were you using previous to the Tilt, or is it a problem that just surfaced? I know that if you don't have an AT&T 3G SIM card, it will have major issues if you try to use it with a 3G phone.

Same Issues
I'm having the same issues as the OP. I'm in Dallas, TX and I've tried different radios on several ROMs.
Currently I'm using radio 1.65.24.36. I've tried 1.71.09.01 and 1.65.16.25 also.
I'm attempting to flash back to an ATT OEM ROM, but judging from the OPs posts it seems like it might be a waste of time. My sim card is 3G and the phone was purchased in November. I might try getting the sim replaced and see what that does.

It is a known problem with AT&T 3G services in cebteral Texas... it is a bit of an insider's secret. There is an excellent thread on www.phonescoop.com where AT&T emoyees discuss the matter. It is also prevalent in other areas of the country, and is a result of the switching boards for the 3G service not talking with one another properly.
Finding the right radio does make a difference, but it wil not be miraculous in it's improvement. I will post a link to the thread when i get a chance tomorrow afternoon, but if you go to phonescoop on your own, do a search of the forum for AT&T centeral texas and itshould bring it up in the first couple of results.
Here is the direct link for the thread talking about this:

Hi there,
I've a XDA Orbit 2 from O2 Germany. A few days ago, i flashed my rom the first time.
I installed HardSPL and then I installed WM6.5 by TranMinMah but i wastn satisfied whith it. Then I chose bepe 0.67 Opera Edition. Shortly after, I recogniced, that I need a Radio driver, so I installed Polaris Radio 1.64.08.21. It all worked but my signal wast as strong as before. No signal in the train, weak in my home. Normally, I get a very strong signal. I decided to flash to Radio 1.58.26.20 but i dont recognice any changes.
Can anyone tell my, which radio to use or what to change to get a stronger signal?
Thanks,
cmoe
