hi there.....sorry for the stupid doubt. but i need them cleared by those of u who dont mind helping newbies like me out.
what are the benefits of flashing a newer radio version? does it improve battery life or what else?
i am with airtel in india. i run radio version 4.1.13.41_02.88.90. is this good enough or would anyone recommend a better version?
will be grateful if anyone can help me out!
thanx in advance
still no reply? cant anyone clear my doubt?
If you have no problems with your current version, why upgrade?
Newer versions are said to have better batterylife and/or resolve dropped call issues or have better signal strength.
But I think no one knows for sure.

hmmm.....my battery is just over a year old and runs out in a day. i charge it daily. i run fireburned's lite rom and i dont use wifi or gprs or too much of bluetooth. do u think a radio upgrade will improve my battery life?
signal problem and dropped calls are not an issue with this radio that i have. it never has been.

I've been a WM user for years, I had the same issue when I upgraded my Axim X50V to WM5.
I've been upgrading to almost every single ROM posted here.
After 100s of crashes, battery drains, radio problems... switched back to WM5, cuz i was unreachable all the time.
Is there any ROM worth trying? no battery/memory drain, no radio issues and no crashes?
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions?

Try Jwrightmcps Crossbow Rom 2.12.08 WWE which I am using on my Qtek 9000 since it was released on 12/16/2008. I think his rom is the best. I am very satisfied with his rom. I am waiting for his next rom release that supports 128mb of ram since I had my device recently upgraded from 64mb to 128mb of ram by PocketPCTechs.

Thought: The problem's not the ROMs, it's something on your side.
I didn't try many ROMs and with one or two I had stability issues. With the 1.18 radio I had several radio crashes, but most certainly due to a weak battery. With 1.17 none of that. I also didn't have any issues with stability using a WM 6.0 version of thingonaspring's one and I don't have them with Ranju's 7.1 WM 6.1.
Idea: Possibly your problems have something to do with your battery or some software you use, that doesn't work all that good under WM 6.
Suggestion: Check that
Thanks for the quick replay guys,
I tried Jwrightmcps's and Ranju's ROMs, they were two of my favorites, I had some issues with Radio and battery, I decided that i'll buy a new battery and switched back to WM5 until my battery arrives.
Somehow, everything is very stable with WM5, I even canceled my battery order.
I'm pretty sure it's not software related, cuz I even tried ROMs without any additional software, I switched between radio ROMs looking for something that plays well with my service provider.
Do you guys think it's worth trying?

You gotta answer this for yourself. This depends on the benefits you get from WM6\6.1 and how intense the effort you put into this is. And especially the latter one is something we can't even estimate.
I'm usually the first to spend his free time fiddling around with some technical details without any real needs and I just can't help doing so. So I'd certainly try. My wife's just the opposite, so she would (most certainly) not
About the radios, what's your proider and where do you live?
I can't help you much with this, but at least for Germany most people are satisfied with the 1.17 and claim to have better signal or battery life. But sometimes I wonder if most of this isn't just mambo-jambo. Nobody seems to really know what's really different between the radios and I can imagine that many fall for some placebo and the rest is just experiencing "random" changes, not structural benefits of changed algorithms.
Settling for the version your provider distributes seems to be reasonable choice if you don't want to experiment yourself.
Hi guys
I recently switched my Rom from rooted stock to super OSR and I can't quite be sure but I can swear I have had a slight drop in reception and my battery doesn't quite have the pep it did
I installled the voltage app to try and save some batt but is there any radio mod to improve reception a bit on a 9020a
Thanks
UPDATED:
well found this

and installed a diff radio. we will see what comes of it.picked the XXKD1 and it may haled helped a biiiiiiiiiiiiit but who knows for now.
Ive also read the UCKD1 was good so ill try that next since the KE1 was what i had first.
hi guys, on my Desire S (s-off with Rev), i've updated to pre-rooted rom 2.10.401.5 but i'm still with the old radio (20.28I.30.085), no bugs, no issues but I would like to update to the "correct" radio
here are the questions:
- have i to format&clean cache and partitions?
- would i have any advantages with the new radio?
- is it real that the 20.4801.xx radio has some battery drain's issue and so it's better to use 20.48.30 radio?
To answer some of your questions:
You don't have to format anything, although wiping your cache is recommended, because not doing it could lead to a bootloop after the radio is updated.
Strictly speaking, any advantages gained by changing a radio is probably only minimal. Some report better battery life, better reception, while most (me included) don't notice any difference. The opposite can happen, a friend of mine updated to a newer radio and it broke his wireless for good, so he had to revert.
I don't know about any battery issues, since I've not used that particular radio, but the general rule of thumb is, if you don't have any real problems with your current radio, there shouldn't be any reason to change it.
That's my 2 cents anyway, hope someone more knowledgeable in these matters can provide more info
I'm running he 20.4801 radio and actuLly find my battery life has improved over he 20.48 one.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
excuse me but didn't you say that you've had battery drain with 20.4801 and so you tryed the older 20.48.30?
hey guys, currently im on ordroid 6.1.0
faux kernel
sometimes my wifi or data will restart
does it have someting to do with radio??
which radio can i use for this rom?
I'm pretty sure it's a known bug. Your radio version usually only determines signal and strength depending on your area. It might even effect battery life, but I'm not certain about this.

my wifi signal strength isnt that strong too. so for this problem is radio problem?
It very well could be. Not a lot of ICS radios though. I've also seen a thread that compares the Sensation's reception to other phones - it wasn't that good.

any radio recommended?
I flashed the new radio on Virtuous' OP. However, I feel little or no difference in performance... Does anyone know what exactly this new radio accomplishes? I did do my reading but no one seems to have a definite answer. They say better wifi and data connection but that only seems like a speculation.

Sure is a speculation, also lesser battery drain...

Radio benefits are bound to be subjective depending on where in the world you are, what types of connectivity you use and and what you do with your phone.
So far over the last year I've found that with each subsequent Radio release/leak battery consumption has improved and wifi/GSM signal strength has been better.
But that is certainly not guaranteed. If you're S-OFF'd you should be able to rollback Radio releases if you find that the new radio is worse.
Tired to write this...
WiFi has nothing to do with baseband ("radio"). Most, if not all, of the "improvements" in WiFi reception after baseband build change are placebo.

you're suggesting that wifi has nothing to do with the radio? Just checking? As I've always believed it did...
I thought it had to do with bt, wifi, along with all types of mobile and data connections (ie gsm, edge,3g hspda etc)
