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

Thank you I checked the post and he does not have that but I also searched the forum and no one posted the file but a good number of people refer to using it. I will check the pantry and see what is there

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.
I found it and I others as well 2.19/2.21/2.25/2.40/2.47/2.69
here is the Link

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.
Ok so maybe this has been answered but I can't find it any where.
Has this Radio 1.27.15.32 been made available yet and if so can someone please post the link to download it.
Also is it compatible with Dutty's V4

That's a vBullentin flaw, expensive forum script, cheapest search feature. It doesn't search number. You should do a search such as "Kaiser radio *" with the quotes, * being the wildcard.
I suggest google as stated by petervbeck
15.32 testing data
Been using this radio for a full day now and it is quite better than the 11.31 radio I was using... Clear Voice calls... Better 3g and HSDPA Strenght stay in HSDPA more than 3g.. the oppisite of before.... "more bars in more places" hate to use that but... GPS works fine most of the time..a couple of time it was slow to start but once up was fine... even after running gps test and the GPS tool.....
For all those who want to know
Using it with Dutty's V4 without a problem.
I was using 12.29 before and I didn't notice much difference, haven't check GPS yet.

Battery life seemed pretty bad with .15.32 with Dutty's DualTouch V4 for me.
Switched back to .12.32
AT&T Wireless in California.
Compatible on Orange FR ROM
No GPS problems
I have no GPS problems with the latest Dutty release and this radio.
Quick question
I've never flashed a radio before.
Can u flash it after flashing the ROM or it makes no difference?

Question:
If your device came with .12.11
If you flash back to .12.11 radio, will it support my network (as it did before) or will it make a difference if it's AT&T radio of the same version?
Sorry but I never flashed radios before and always avoided
Flashing back to 12.11 will be no problem, however I'd recommend 12.17 - I have better battery life and sig strength with .17 than either .11 or 12.32 in Norcal AT&T
p.s. make sure you're HardSPL first obviously!

Polaris Radio for the Kaiser 1.58.25.14 & 1.58.21.23 Thanks P1Tater & Collinssc

Have had no issue with it thus far. Connections are very quick...battery life is still undetermined but that last Polaris Radio I was trying worked very well. I will step outside to try out the GPS. Signal strength seesm to be the same but I need to do some more testing on this. While driving today I usually lose connection at one spot and I didn't have this happen today.
GPS worked great got a lock in Google Maps in 1 second...no joke.

Thanx alltheway! Man, do You never sleep?
Any battery life test result on this one?
Edit: Someone beat me to this question, sorry
I do not know alltheway, Radio numbers are really confusing, we do not know change logs between them I got 1.58.26.20 on my Kaiser (an official Radio released with the 3.02 build)
Howyou like Dutty's WM6.1? I like it, ut having issue with BT voice speed dialer. Usually when I press the botton on BT headset, it will beep and start voice dialer. It works for a short while and then stop working. Everytimes when I press the bottom, it goes to phone pad screen..... strange...
Now back to 3.03, which I have less issues... any suggestion?
Alltheway??

Of course. I extracted it as well (thanks to some info from a pretty good friend) and am having pretty good results thus far.
Battery life with radio 1.58.25.14 with Dutty's ROM: Battery life will last for 411 min. Not bad for this Radio / ROM combo. I'm going to test the other one now. I don't think 1.58.25.14 gave me very good reception inside my office but then again I barely get one bar.

Tried 1.58 and it burned through the battery. 1.64 works as good or better than the dedicated AT&T radios.
I just installed 1.58.26.20 and also realized it was burning through the battery very fast. I am interested to know if 1.64 is better for battery life on the ATT Tilt. Thanks.
I had 1.64 and it was ok. Cant say anything about battery since I had it for a day. I lost a bar of signal - or two - overall. Now on the new ATT rom, and everything works great. Signal is almost always at peak and battery is fine.
i used 1.64 like everyone else said to, and my signal was noticably worse. switched to 1.58 and it was fine. no battery drain problems... but i've been off the charger for shorter times recently, so not sure.
i tried all the radios on dutty's and the GPS never worked, switched to sleuth, everything worked.

I'm quite desperate, using 1.58.26.20 for few days and it is eating up the battery extremly fast. without bluetooth, wi-fi, even without push-mail on I don't get a whole day (before 1 to 1,5 or 2).
with 1.64 I felt the same, but going to try again.

Use 1.64 radio with it.
1.58.26.20 drains more battery and signal isn't too great either.

I actually got better signal with 1.58.26.20 than I did with the other 1.64 that I tried. The battery drain is a pain though.
I've had serious problems getting a reliable GPS connection with anything other than radio 1.64 so this would be my recommendation. Also, I've had GPS running today for a long time and the rear mobile is still cool. Usually it runs warm with other radios so I guess that battery isn't being pushed as hard??
gps...
I went ahead and tried both of the newer 1.64 radios and really didn't see much difference. I stayed with the most recent release. I was able to get my GPS working after running the quick GPS then the GPS tool. It wasn't working at first because of my location. I tried it at work and it was fine and locked onto satellites... Try changing locations and running the GPS tools first.
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.

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?
