Radio signal booster on the S710? - HTC Vox

My sister got a S710. We've updated it with Gonzo v1.1. Even after updating the radio to Radio 4.1.13.47_02.98.90, time to time, the signal drops from good to nothing and she misses calls.
She's considering to get try with these signal booster sold on eBay. Are they worth it? Anyone tried some? Could the problem be software related instead? Where is the antenna in the S710 so we can know where to install the booster.

try another rydio rom (to find on the xda-developers ftp) search for the treath "which radio is the best" and try another one!

Try a newer Radio first, look in the Wiki for links to the ftp!

VOX's Radio getting restarted very frequently

Hi Guys,
I am having a strangle problem with my VOX. The phone's radio is getting turned off every now and then.
The phone will show full network signal and the very next second the signal bar becomes empty followed by an automatic turn off and turn on of the phone's radio. Sometimes it keeps on restarting the phone's radio for 5 to 6 times. It is driving me crazy as most of the time when someone calls me, my phone is in the switch off mode and I never realize that unless I am staring at my phone. And it is happening at least once or twice an hour.
I upgraded my phone to the latest ROM version 1.34.405.1 but still getting the problem. Actually I feel the problem has become worst now after the upgrade.
Any thoughts on what could be causing it?
Thanks!
that doesn't sound familiar
did you try with the original radio version too?
What radio version do you have? There are updates on the ftp! ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Smartphone/Vox/Radios
The radio version I have is Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
I had the same issue (not so frequent) with my previous radio also. I guess it was 4.1.13.41. That came with the phone when I bought it.
But one thing I noticed; when I am in the office I am not encountering this issue (at least not for the last 8 hours) but when I am at home, this issue appears very frequently. Wondering whether there could be any network parameter trigerring this behavior.
maybe its the networks issue
you should try to compare the readings you get from the service menu at the office and at home, and give them a call
>>you should try to compare the readings you get from the service menu at the office and at home, and give them a call
What reading are you talking about? Also, how can I collect that?
Thanks again for all your thoughts.
he means that you should check the network strength at your workplace and your home.
Hi Guys;
Slightly OT, but hopefully someone can help.
I have recently upgraded the GF from a Nokia 6230i (about 2 years old) to a Orange E650 (Vox) running Dr Martin Gonzo's ROM, which is very nice... The E650 was a refurb that i bought from the Orange Store on ebay.
The issue is that reception at home is far worse than it was on the nokia - and is almost unusable at home... I did a check last night and the radio installed is a very old radio (doesn't appear on the FTP..)
Can anyone suggest what is the best Radio to use that will work with Dr Gonzo's ROM? (and is it a simple job to upgrade )
Cheers
SF
I am using Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 on win 6.1 from Dr Gonzo. I works like a charm.

Same problem, even with all Radios all ROMs....
Goes to searching mode all the time...i don´t know what to do...my unit is still on warranty period...can i do something ?
HELP !
My issue seems to be network related. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I am encountering this issue only when I am at home and everywhere outside the phone is working nicely.
It is kind of making me think whether the network reception capability of the phone has gone down slightly and hence the no network issue when the network is slightly weak.

Internet Issues after Dutty Wm6.1 WWE Plz Help

I know, I'm supposed to search but I wasn't getting anywhere....
My device (Originally AT&T Tilt)
Now running Dutty WM6.1 WWE 4/29/08 (phone suggests.)
Radio 1.64.08.21
Location NYC
ISSUES:
Internet waaaaaaaay too slow. Never had a problem before.
The 3G (square box) is present and 3g over signal.
Signal- I average 2 to 3 bars TOPS
prior it used to be full
Can someone suggest anything?! Downloading Cab files is slow and or it freezes. My Youtubeplayer.cab doesn't even work anymore because of this problem.
Also...prior to using the Rom..my phone hates the Hollywood/ Beverly Hills area which is my second home.
Thanks in advance.
TheNotSoGeekyGirlAfterAll!
Just thought of something else... why does my touch keyboard and touch keypad stop working after about 10 times?

1st put on some flame retardant, 2nd you should try duttys thread, not start a new one, how long have you been running this rom, did you hard reset after the first flash, have you tried to reflash, have you tried a different radio, radios make a huge difference base on location, many radio threads out there, and last if it has to many bugs try another rom, i have used this rom and i love it.

Minus the rudeness, you actually helped because I didn't know if it was the rom or radio. And for the record I did search for my specific problem using keywords. I'll try changing the radio because I can connect to the internet..its just edge is faster than my dumb phone. If all else fails, Ill sell the crap.
Thanks for your assistance.

He wasn't being rude, you should post this in the thread for dutty's rom. My guess normally would be that you don't have 3G turned on, rather than a radio or a rom issue, as i remember several of dutty's roms do not have 3g enabled by default. bit apparently you're getting a 3G signal. Have you tried other roms to be sure it's somethign rom specific and not your network? In the future post your questions in the appropriate thread to TRY to reduce the clutter in the forum. Also, it is the xda policy, so there's another reason to do it.

GSM low signal on DOPOD P860

Hi there,
I'm new in this forum and not yet an expert on all this items handled here. So maybe one of those great software guys can help me.
I got a present from my Chinese friend, it's a DOPOD P860 mobile branded for china mobile. As I'm german I tried to change the operating system to german or english. All those great tools worked fine for flashing procedure.
I tried original O2 ROM and some others like the one from Bepe. Also combined these with several Radio Rom. Operating system of the device works fine with nearly all of these Roms.
Problem remains:
The recognition level of the radio is low. As soon as I go into any building I will get a "no signal" message.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks, wbr
Same to me
I have just the same problem totally...
I am in China, flashed WWE rom. no signal..denied serching..1 bar..
How do I get it over ?
Try the official muRate radio.
tried already several
I tried already several radios but I will also check for this one.
In my opinion the device is different from the standard cruise. There is no WIFI installed. I already tried to get the original radio from Dopod, but as I cant read chinese characters I'm not able to find it.
1.59.42.15 doesn't work better
No better signal
Sometimes reboots after hang up
Several times connected but no noise in the speaker.
improvement but still not high quality
I just installed following version:
RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_SEA_1.28.457.2_radio_sign_25.69.30.05_1.58.25.14_murata_Ship.exe
Phone system is working well. Maybe this is a first step in improvement. I'm still convinced that only the original radio rom for this dopod might work with high response.
If there is anyone who is able to get this please reply.
I gotta the same problem
My friend give me a dopod P860, it's low signal after he flashed the radio,i flash the radio VER 1.58.27.27 and the CMCC custom os back,it's low signal too
i have no idea to repair it now
I hope someone have some way to save it
(I live in china)

Nobody there...

Hello everyone,
I have the latest AT&T 6.1 ROM, downloaded from the HTC site for the Tilt. Here's a couple of problems that I have, that I can't get search results for.
1. VERY often, when a person calls me and I answer, I can't hear anyone on the other end! The same results when I make an outbound call as well. The device says that I'm connected to the other party, but I can't hear that.
2. When I AM actively connected, VERY often my bluetooth headset will just DECIDE to disconnect! Now, the DEVICE is still connected, but I have to either quickly put it to my ear to not miss what the other party is saying, or, I've noticed that if I push the multifunction button on the earpiece (Jawbone), it will reconnect.
Any help with these two issues would be appreciated. This has ONLY begun since I've installed the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM, which is supposed to be for the Tilt... which I have.
I'm REALLY frustrated...
Maybe try the original 6.0 rom and see if it still happens. If it does, and your phone is under a year, I would definitely send your phone in for warranty.
Jason
i have 3 words for you,
1-radio
2-radio
3-radio..................
try changing your radio and see if the problem persists, but i smell a radio problem behind all of this

did you do a hard reset? if not try that and see if that helps
Without a doubt an issue with your radio version. I had the same issues when I switched from WM6 to 6.1 - turned out my radio only worked w/ version 6 and caused my phone to only work half of the time.

You are Switching from a 6.0 to 6.1...it probably is a radio issue...just go to the ultimate radio thread in my signature and download a 6.1 radio and try it....it will only take a few seconds
the stock wm6.1 at&t rom that he loaded comes with a functional radio made for that rom so unless he flashed a radio that is for wm6 after he updated then yes its the radio
looks like Radio problem.. but if you install the ATT official rom you have allready one for 6.1 windows.. Like already say MSD24200
but try one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
i prefer the 1.65.24.36 NIKI Radio
you must select one of 1.65.xx.xx or 1.70.xx.xx
Comm Manager?

Bob,
I using the eOS 4.888 ROM on AT&T and I have the "silent call" issue too. It seems to have come up only in the past month or so. I'm on my 4th radio, currently a Polaris 1.59.42.23. The Polaris Radio seems to make the problem less frequent, but it is still there. My first though was this is an AT&T issue but there is a thread in the Kaiser General section about this, and posts in the Ultimate Radio thread that indicate the issue is occurring outside of the AT&T network as well.
The issue has been blamed on radios, ROM, and bluetooth, but in my experience with it, I'm thinking it might be Comm Manager related, but I don't know enough to know how the Comm Manager interacts with the radio/ROM to really be helpful.
I do know that the person who figures out the answer to this problem will make quite a few folks on this board very happy!!

Same Issue
I am having the same issue. I have the official 6.1 ROM from HTC on the att tilt. I flashed it on a friday and did not notice issues with not hearing the person on the other end when connected until a few days later. I looked at the ultimate radio thread according to that, I have the correct radio for my rom version:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
Could it still be a radio issue? Or something else?

It is not Comm mgr related as I have tried several to no avail, Also several 6.1 roms and several radios . No luck.

Can't hear other party......
Did anyone find a solution to this yet? I have flashed all the compatable rabios with the tilt running the official wm6.1 from htc. And I am still making and receiving calls with not being able to hear the other party(as well as them not being able to hear me).
The main function of the tilt is a PHONE!
Hard reset after flash maybe?

It has to do with 6.1 . We are trying to pool all our information on one thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457
Nika has reflashed to a 6.0 rom, and that appears to have eliminated the problem.
Again, if a Mod could merge these threads, we could all work togther on this.
Thanks.

If it is not radio, then it is a connection issue with your USB port. I had this happen to me and frustrated the heck out of me until I discovered that the tether that is inside the USB port on the device was loose, as if it was cracked. I must have done that while jabbing the stylus in it without using my glasses to soft reset. I discovered the issue by accident when the phone was plugged to be charged and i received a phone call. every time i wiggled the phone the conversation sound would get muted or interrupted. I ended up returning the Tilt to AT&T as a defective device and got a refurbished one that works. Test it and let us know.

O2 Xda Atmos problems - Phone, network or ROM?

Hi All,
I am assuming that the Vox is the Xda Atmos under O2's branding (it looks identical minus the much better original styling).
We use these for the majority of our company phones. I am really getting sick of them though and wondered if anyone else who uses one frequently encounters any of the following problems:
- Dropped calls (mid conversation)
- Calls not being received, despite having signal
- Complete loss of GSM signal, despite another phone on the same network having a very good signal
- Random crashing
- Incredibly poor battery life despite the battery being brand new, power settings to max out the battery life and all but GSM connections turned off.
I am getting the above issues on most, if not all, of my Xda Atmos. They are all from O2, and mainly on the O2 network. But as the phones themselves are unlocked, I have also tried them on a variety of other networks with the same results.
I am thinking that it's an issue with the O2 ROM. WinMo smartphone edition cant be that bad can it?
Any input is appreciated, along with your own experiences of the phone.
Thanks.
Yeah, just try another rom, i use wm 6.1 v1.4.

NO do not try Vox stuff on it! It has 3G, a 400MHz processor and a second camera...it's the Wings! http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=413
lol thanks for that.
It was a toss up between the Vox and the Wings - Vox looked closer to it.
Will repost in the Wings forum.
