Weak signal strengh with new Radio - Touch Cruise General

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

dont waste ur money
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
I already tested
1.27.12.17
1.27.12.32
1.64.06.04
1.64.08.21

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?

Best WM6.1 Radio for Dutch T-Mob network

I have recently started using a cooked Kaiser ROM. Even though I really like the ROM (currently Dutty's April 09 rom) the battery is draining WAY faster now. With the original ROM it would last 2-3 days with normal 3G operation and BT on.
But now I barely make it a whole day. And just to keep things going I have now turned off 3G.
The radio I have now is 1.64.08.21. What I would like to know is what WM 6.1 radio give the beste (battery) performance on the dutch T-Mobile network?
I use the 1.64.08.21 radio ROM at the moment as well. This one seems to give me the best battery life.
Also using T-Mobile in Holland
I've tested all radio ROM's there are at the moment. From NIKI's to the latest SEDNA's and this radio ROM seems to be the best for me atm
i'm using now the 1.64.06.04, but if you said so...i will upgrade
1640821
here 1.64.08.21 also..works great and battery life is better than with original radio.
Any update on best WM6.1 radio for Dutch T-mobile?
I have been using radio1.71.09.01 for a couple of months but since last couple of weeks I seem to be missing calls, call goes immediately to voicemail. Maybe something has changed at T-Mobile? I'll try radio1.64.08.21 instead, but I am wondering what others use?

Impossible to find a radio w/out dropped calls- T-mobile UK

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.
im on t-mobile uk.using 1.64.08.21-no problems,good gps,good signal... i had before 1.65.XXXX and i had problems with droped calls...

Are you sure you have good connection in that area? This happends alot for me aswell but that is because I dont have good connection in the area here on vacation Try to flash the other radio mate and see if it gets bether. Or ever check if you can use the radio you used before you flashed to duttys, one more question does it try to connect whit HSDPA?
hi
ok, before i used original rom with radio 1.27.12.11. and i was the problem already.
now i flashed to dutty and the radio is 1.65.14.06. the same problem.
also i have here another kaiser, the same device, and its work fine.
but with this one i have for few seconds and then disapeers.
i turn of the hsdpa.
but when i shut off 3g from the comm manager, there is full reception. (2g)
thanks.

Vodacom & TyTn II Radio/ROM

I have a strange problem with my TyTn II (brought over from Vodafone UK) and now trying to run on Vodacom in SA.
Everytime I hang up a call the connection status changes from EDGE to 3G and then I get "No Service"! It re-connects about 5 mins later but sometimes it only says it is "connected" but I can't receive calls or make calls.
I'm running one of the HyperDragon III ROM's (stunning ROM) and I have tried almost all the radio upgrades out there.
Does anybody have the same prob?
Or could any south africans not experiencing any problems using the TyTn II on Vodacom Network perhaps let me know what their set-up, ROM and Radio software versions are.
Much appreciated.
Thanks
Currently:
TyTn II
ROM: HD_III_Portege WWE (3.sj.hd.03)
Radio: 1.65.17.56
have you tried turning off the 3g with the comm manager? try making a call that way and see what happens
Have you tried asking this question in the hyperdragon thread in case it is rom related? If not you need to do so or try to flash another rom to your phone and see if you still get the same problem. If you think it was a radio problem you could ask in the radio thread which is very informative.
sd73ta,
Thanks that does solve the imediate problem. Tho it would be nice to have the 3G work
Cheers
Tytn II SA
Hi
I'm using Garmin DK 6 Final Rom with radio 1.71.09.01
I am however on MTN, but did perience the same problem on previous roms
Spider24
hi
i also use the radio EMO 1.71 but on MTN and have no problem with Garmin DK 4 manilla final
spider 24 & matthieup
Thanks for the info. I'll check out Garmin DK 4 and see if that works beter.
Cheers
I've reverted back to the latest HTC Rom. Had little problems with almost all the custom ROMs.
hi hexa
I had the same problem. And also broke the phone from frustration.
Last week i did a sim card swap. my old sim card was 2+ years old and...
everything is fixed! no more issues, no more "no service", no more dropped calls. the phone is much faster as well.
i use a kaiser diamond rom and always run fring. no more connection issues!
Hey tpiece,
That's interesting. My sim is also about 2years old by now..
I'll see what a sim card upgrade does to the phone.
Thanks!
Cheers
well changes are that this is the problem. If your sim is that old, changes areit is a 2G sim, not 3G hance the problem you can when trying to connect to 3G. First thing i did when getting my tytn II was a sim swap
No Problems
I am running the latest HTC WM 6.1 from HTC site, Europe, and have not had any problems with Vodacom.
I think your problem could be related to "tower hand-overs".
I used to experience this with my old TyTN on cooked ROMS.
I reverted back to the OEM version of WM 6.1 and all the problems were resolved.
I know a while back even Leaf had radio problems on WM 6
