But did you try a 6.0 ROM after trying a 6.1?
Problem with GPS
I tried a couple of 6.1 ROMs. Alec's beta had the issue of eventually connecting but it took about 10 minutes. I then tried a couple of others same thing.
Went back to Alec's Beta2, perfect. Using Quick GPS and CoPilot, maybe 30 seconds!!
Hope that helps.

Did you downgrade the radio to for example 1.27.12.17
ya when u go to 6.1 the gps works, its only when you downgrade back to 6.0 that some ppl seem to be having the problem where the gps doesnt work.. here is the link for the other discussion about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365851
of course everybody is downgrading their radios too when they downgrade to v6.0...
right?
Thanks for the warning. But I think your situation is isolated to a VERY small portion of phones. I have had around 50 or so ROMs on my phone 6.0 and 6.1... been back and forth... and never had a problem with the GPS on any of them. The GPS is one function that I always check out while testing a ROM.
GPS Issue
I have upgraded to 6.1 back down to 6.0 then back up to 6.1 and had no GPS Issues at all.
GPS works fine on my tilt, i flash every 3hrs, i've flashed almost every rom out there and never had a gps issues.
This is an issue. What fixed it for me was flashing to EVO 2.0. I believe it is a problem with the warm start in the gps tool. You need quick gps because it cold starts.
I know a lot are going to say that's not true blah blah either way that fixed it for me.
Edit: Not EVO but SNE 2.0 i meant
my gps isnt working, it says it cant connect. i'm running DCS 1.4 WM6.1 rom, radio i downgraded to 1.58.26.20, still cant connect. any ideas? thanks!
i also ran the Cingular PDA MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab i got off of this forum somewhere, still no go. going back to 1.64.08.21 for the meantime to see if that does it...
switched back to sleuth's 3.0 with the 1.64.08.21 radio, no gps problems. weird.
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?
I have have problems listed below with new build roms :-
- Missplaced effect to screen taps i.e. press htc home tab instead effects plugin below like calender pops up, or when using the on screen keyboard it enders the letter below the one i select.
- When doing a finger 'flick' or 'drag' scrolling in for example programs menu, when i begin it on a program icon, which on older builds would be ok, in newer builds, it will begin to scroll but the program will also be activated.
- Also when scrolling on file explorer, if i hold my figer on screen while scrolling up, the hold menu (one that pop's up when you select and hold on a file) will pop up. This while its actually scrolling.
Notes
-I do perform hard resets after every flash even just radio flashing.
-I have performed several realignment of the screen.
-Tried all possible radios compatible with the roms.
-Tried reflashing oem rom then back to wanted roms.
-Tried redoing Hardspl.
Solution
Using Kaisertweak here attached change TouchFlo Sensitivity to Normal.
yet again no help yet new 'best rom' threads still get replies 'sigh' well whatever.
i have 1.65.20.29 but haven't had any problems that u decribe.
you *HAVE* to use a compatible ROM. You can't just toss it against any WM6 or even WM6.1 ROM. If the ROM wasn't intended to be used with a 1.65 radio, you WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.
What ROM are you using?
-Mc
I am using the radio's specified for the roms all the new builds = 1.65.xx.xx right? unless its hybrid, in on NoThrills build .19202 that only works with 1.65.xx.xx roms as well as every other .19202+ unless some hybrids e.g. dutty's, and all of them as long as i use that build of radio gives me above problems. I do know my stuff on radio - rom compatibility
Sorry I don't know how after all these replies and nobody has stepped up to say I find it VERY hard to believe ANY of those problems would be caused by the radio. Enough Said.
**I see you finally re-edited your post after all this time, and REALLY YOU THINK???? Someone with a post count of yours should have know from the start**
For the screen issue, try and re-align your screen. Start/settings/system/screen/align screen.

I guess its an isolated problem must be my device then like how when i removed a screen protector i put on the device on the day i got it speed it up. But i dunno how to tell the carrier i installed a different rom from that you give by default and its the one that shows my device is faulty.

I have done screen re-alignment its a problem that occurs from time to time sometimes more frequent than other times.

Any users of above radios get such problems?
- Missplaced effect to screen taps i.e. press htc home tab instead effects plugin below.
- When scrollling with touch flo still selects program you place finger on while scrolling.
- E-mail accounts deleted (one happened once recently dunno if it could be with the radios)
I've tried posting in rom threads of this problem and got nothing except that knowone else seemed to have the problem? if these are new radio for new build would any new official releace builds have such radios? and if so could i have a hardware problem? would i need to replace my device? i have an MDA Vario III is it that the builds are originally ATT.

Have you tried flashing the stock rom that your phone came with, and then flashing dutty's...doing a hard reset...etc? I have seen that get rid of a lot of just really random/weird glitches, which it seems is what you have.

I dont have said problem with dutty's roms since they are hybrid and so allowing me to use any radio problem isn't with the rom its radio just newer builds only work with the problem radios if i try a different radio with the roms buit to work only with the problem radios apart from camera and sound issues i don't have any problems with them, (any problems i mentioned above) thats why i say my problems are because of the radio.

I'm not entirely sure what you just said, but even on the hybrid only one version is compatible wiht the new radios. That's why there are 2 versions of each rom that he made of the V2 Hybrid. One for the 1.65.xx.xx radios and one for all the other radios, a cube, non-cube, and lite version for each radio.

Well i used the version that worked with the old radios but changed to a different one because of other issues.
My point was the radio the radios + new build or even old build = the problems for me.

Yes 150% sure + Camera and sound worked fine, its not just with dutty's roms it's with all new builds iv tried NoThrills, TNT professional and vanilla, Hyperdragon and the newer PDAVIET ones.
i had a problem
my cell was making a static sound with the 1.65 radio and I am using dutty's v2 with no cube. I think it's not compatible with the rom, i went back to polaris 1.58.21.23. It's the best rom for me, although i still get calls in which the calling party can hear me while i cannot hear them (maybe every 2 out of 10 calls i receive).
Any Help from the senior members?
So nothing i can do?
Any tips on telling your carrier my device has a problem only noticeable through the use of custom roms and radios.
Which Hardspl have people used from looking around it seems they are two which is the more common one? only post if you are using 1.65.xx.xx radio with no problems .. thats probably everyone else using the radio ( Yes desperation is setting in)
Help experts plz
On the new 'official' rom with a 1.65.xx.xx radio which flashes both rom and radio and to work i would have already carried out a hardspl so the problems aren't down to me HELP! and for the record problem only there with 1.65.xx.xx radios yes i am sure i have carried out tests and i only have the problem with these radios so don't patronize me plz.
I have a ATT Tilt, with original ROM. I downloaded the newest ROM from HTC for the ATT Tilt. Only reason I did this was because I was told it would get rid of the "button/screen press not registering unless you hold/press for a while." Anyways, it seems to have worked. Not 100% trouble free on that front.. anyways...
I didn't want to do any of the cooked ROMs mods yet as I'm willing to wait for the 6.1 official release. BUT I noticed 2x already I lost signal on my T-Mobile service and GPS seems to loose lock easier.
Is there a way for me to just replace the Radio: 1.27.14.09 with something else or even the original radio that I had?
I'm reading the radio FAQ and it mentions that the ROM:AT&T 1.62.502.0 (The one I dloaded) can only use 2 radios, the .09 and .07 radios. I don't see anything on what the .07 radio is or if its any better.

Thanks, that's the thread I'm trying to read/figure out right now. Lots of info. Thanks for the link for the .07.
Update: ok, read the 17pages. Ouch. my brain hurts. It seems GPS lock doesn't improve much and unless I use a cooked rom and goto a 6.1ROM with better radios, I don't think swapping the .07 will help. Does this sound about right?
Also, does Tilt really use agps? Should I disable that? I thought one of the posts said it worked better with it off..
For me, agps never really worked very well on the tilt. Also, igo and some oother gps programs don't work with it.
On a side note, there are some ROMs that would work well for you stability wise. Q-mobile 2 is a super stable 6.0 ROM. 6.1 ROMs have more problems but some of them come pretty close and do offer the newer radios like you mentioned.
The radio in my signature has given me the best gps performance of all that I have tried.
I will be getting the fuze this weekend and have a few questions about it.
In the ROM development forum it seems that most ROM's are developed for the touch pro, will these work on the fuze or do I need to use one designed for the fuze?
Also is it worth it to upgrade the radio? And from my reading I'm slightly confused about upgrading the radio. I read somewhere that to upgrade the radio you need to security unlock the phone. Is this true for all radio's or just a few?
Edit: I read the step-by-step guide for flashing and it says either do it through sync or microsd. Which is safe/better?
hey, before you flash ANYTHING do hardSPL. then you can flash any rom made for the gsm touch pro or fuze. pretty much any rom in the rom forum you can flash. all the cdma roms are in that forum, so you dont have to worry about it. i havent flashed my radio, the radio that came with the fuze works great. some people claim that a different radio can improve your gps performance. i was able to fix my gps without a new radio. good luck
Thanks for the reply, I'll try to get the stock radio working before I even think about flashing it.
what do you mean by "getting the stock radio working"? as long as your getting a signal and placing/receiving calls its' working..
