help choosing a new radio - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi-
Just getting into this with my new (to me) Fuze. I've just flashed my phone with the newest TAEL ROM (6.5.3) and now I'm ready to work on the radio. My radio is currently 1.14.25.35. I've searched for an hour now, and though there are threads on flashing new radios, none of them give any advice on which radio to choose (yes, there is a 270 page one with that in the title, but noone actually gives advice. its a long list of questions about how to flash the radio).
So can anyone recommend a radio, or point me to a radio thread that isn't 270 pages of "OMG i think i bricked my phone"? Thanks in advance, and I've really enjoyed reading these forums because people generally answer questions, and rarely flame questions like this.

OK, how about this...
Appears that I've hit something of a dead end with this one... How about this instead:
Have you recently flashed your ATT Fuze with a different radio, which one was it, and did it make any difference (better or worse) to your voice service?
Thanks!

well...
Funny- I may have received no answers to my questions, but that's still better than most sites! anywhere else I would have gotten a "search the forums" answer, two flames, one person asking why I'm asking, and a short answer from someone who didn't understand the question. Thanks XDA-dev site! You're now #1 in my book!

To be honest, I've run both 1.14.25.05 and 1.14.25.35 recently and they both work well enough for me to not worry about the radio version anymore. However make sure you have matching radio and rilphone.dll installed otherwise you will have issues. For example, NRG cooks in rilphone for 1.14.25.05; since my phone is flashed with 1.14.25.35 it causes the wifi to be unavailable until I install the correct .dll.
It's probably safe to reason that no one has replied because everyone's situation is different (towers, 3g coverage etc) that can cause wildly different results in radio version coverage, GPS speed etc.

Anyone else lost total sound w 1.27.12.17 radio??

I'm using or shall I say, trying to use Dutty's Tilt/AT&T specific Rom 6 and after changing the radio to 1.27.12.17, I have absolutely no sound. The reason I did this is to try and solve other issues (other posts about that)...
I'm hearing that most everyone is finding the above radio actually the better one for AT&T specific units.
This as already been discuss please read other post before asking questions.

Q&A on Radio's

First off, terribly sorry of this has been covered but I've been afraid to ask for the last few weeks and this might be why I had to return one Tilt already lol.
I understand that Radio's have the ability to completely alter your experience as in Battery life and overall performance. I also understand that reception could play a huge difference as well.
I am wondering if there is anything else I am missing? When is it appropriate to switch to another Radio when using a custom rom? Where can you download Radios? I think I may have seen a link on Dutty's beta site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
okay I just found a radio sticky... just ignore this thread - i'm sure I will find my answers there... hopefully
lol
lol, thats what you need to do, search before you post, search before you post. Its good to see that you found your answer though.

HELP, Cant Hear Anything!!!

This started yesterday using dutty's newest hybrid rom on the radio it comes with, i believe its 1.64.14.06, yeah thats it. This radio and rom has worked fine for me with great 3g coverage and everything, rom just seemed a little slower than his apr 09 32mpp rom. I then changed the radio to the niki 1.58.11.07 since that one works the best for me. After flashing, the first phone call i made or recieved worked fine on my jawbone bluetooth. Any call after the first one, completely nothing. Phone shows im connected, seconds tick away on phone showing im connected, person on other end cant hear anything as well as me. Ive tried calling and receiving calls from numerous numbers and people with same problem. I also tried turning off bluetooth and trying the speakerphone or regular ear piece on phone and still same problem. If i soft reset the phone then its back to the start, the first call either made or recieved works fine even on blutooth headset, speaker phone, or ear speaker on front of phone, then every call either made or recieved after the first nothing! I then flashed back to the stock 1.64.14.06 radio with no more problems. I then got tired of the newest hybrid rom since its slower then the previous apr 09 32mpp rom and flashed back to the apr 09 32mpp rom with stock radio 1.64.14.06. After making many calls and recieving many calls since this last flash, the problem just started again now on the apr 09 32mpp rom with the stock 1.64.14.06 radio! The same exact symptoms as before! Everything else works fine like gps, texting, e-mail, I just cant use the main feature of the cell phone which is to TALK to someone! Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking about flashing back to the stock att rom then flashing back to the apr 09 32mpp rom to see if that helps. Like i said before, the apr 09 32mpp rom has worked for me perfect for over 2 weeks until the newest hybrid came out and even the hybrid worked fine for the first few days. No programs are running in the background, no damage done to the phone, never dropped it, phone battery over 75 percent, cant figure out whats wrong? Please, if anyone can help???
Im gonna try to flash back to the niki radio 1.58.11.07 since i used that radio the most on this apr 09 32mpp rom. Still can't figure out what would cause this to happen to my phone for no reason? I havent downloaded any new apps or anything. Just stopped working!
just a thought but shouldnt you have posted this in the relative rom thread instead of starting a new thread but if i were you and liked the radio i had id reflash the same one try it out for a while if it happens again then try a new radio

Of course i would post this in dutty's rom thread but have you seen his thread? Grows over 1,000 posts a day. The same time im typing up my problem, 10 other problems already got posted and so on. Thats why i posted this as a new thread, not to take up space but to get my problem answered and some help. Yes i did flash back to the niki rom just now and made over 7 calls and recieved a few just phone on my phone but that doesn't mean this problem won't happen in a day or in an hour. Like i stated in the first post, the roms (newest hybrid and apr 09 rom) worked perfect the first few days or even weeks and then BOOM, this problem hits for ? reason. Just looking to see if anyone on here can figure out why this happened so if it does happen again in the future for me or anyone else on this forum they will know how to fix it. Like i said before, i havent damaged my phone, no new cabs or programs added, soft reset my phone and doesn't fix the problem, even flashing to a new rom altogether didnt fix the problem and flashing to a new radio only fixes the problem temporarly.
Can't Believe

Wow for your convenience and avoiding 1000 posts thread, you create a new one. What a good idea. I should do the same thing since I'm not English speaker and it's really difficult for me to read in English.
No wonder why you are senior member.
Thanks for the idea.
Hi,
I understand that this is a little bit confusing but, actually, with the same build there are "2" versions the one that is labeled with the 1.65.14.06 radio and the one labeled with 1.64.08.21.
So, Radio 1.65.14.06 & 1.65.17.10 are just compatable with roms labelled 1.65.14.06. this means if you flash another different radio, you'll get the bugs you described...
On the other side, all the other 6.1 radios should work with the second version, labeled with 1.64.08.21. once again, if you flash an att radio (1.65.14.06 or 1.65.17.10) you'll get the bugs you described...
NOTE: RADIO 1.65.17.10 IS NOT RECOMENDED - IT WILL UNABLE THE RE-FLASH PROCESS WITH ANY OTHER RADIO, UNLESS YOU'RE SECURITY UNLOCKED
cheers
Honestly, im more new to the thread and Id have to say.. The most annoying thing and the thing I dont quite understand is how many whiners there on on "posting new threads" as if posting is something sacred that only the best people should be able to do. Now I understand the defense "oh well people post more and more of the same questions.. blah blah" but who the heck is actually making you read these threads? Honestly, id call posting new threads troll bait, because its only the trolls that rush to whine about it. Ive personally never posted a thread, and I never would in this forum. To be realistic, I come on this site almost everyday and see the same crap. Its just loaded with peoples roms on the first page of the forums. Im just saying, give some of these guys a break. Im sure there will be trolls that come in and complain against my post... but oh well. Im sure others have noticed it too

okay let me help u understand why senior members and moderators get ticked when people post new threads:
a) as the name of the site states it is targeted towards developers or people with ability to understand 2+2. developers put there personal time trying to create something better for us without any monetary gain.
b) posting new threads about the same issue pushes real issues down or completely buries them. xda gets close to 100000 hits a day .. imagine if all those people created new threads .. what would happen to threads w/ real issues??
c) it is easier to post and quiker to get a response under a rom thread that u r having problem with. i post under rom that i have issues with and always get an answer unless the problem is my own stupidity which i manage to fix.
d) its part of xda's tos to post under threads that r relevant to ur query.. don't like that? good bye.
e) people post new threads cuz they don't wana read. believe me i know .. but reading is the best thing so read the wiki it can answer all questions like this one.
f) people respond better when they see u r following rules ... if a cop pulled u over and u gav him **** u would probably get in more trouble compared to if u apologized for what u did wrong. same goes here post a new problem and everyone will try to help; post a question that has been answered 10 thousand times u r bound to piss people off.
and i don't think i need say more.
Always someone that has to post back on things subject to common sense which either A) makes that person feel smarter then they actually are or B) feel like without there knowledge, all would be lost. Without your details, I said that main outline of what someone is going to end up whining about, but then again... what made you put so much time and effort into reading my message? for that matter, you even came on this subject and replied to nothing the OP needed and instead, just trolled my message. Obviously you came in this thread to complain, whine, or whatever you call it, noticed my message, and felt my message was a better target.. so here goes. (oh, and I never asked why "senior members" or "moderators" get ticked. It was more people like you "members" lol)
A) Who are you to define peoples questions into interpretations like (2+2)? Maybe because they dont know what YOU know, that doesnt make them stupid. Its people like you who dont realize that people always have to be taught by someone, and im sure you learned all your stuff by reading through 1000s of pages of threads and not posting any yourself... just realize, no ones born with the knowledge.
B) As I said in my previous message, I see mostly ROMS on the first page everytime I come on the site. Not just that, if no one wants to respond to the thread, doesnt it just get lost from there? but usually its the trolls that keep new threads going isnt it? and once again, who are you to define whats a real issue? obvious when people post, they are having issues. For you to say they are worthless is for you to say that your issues are just more important.
C) Ok thats your preference, and your OPINION states that you will get an answer quicker when posting under a rom thread, but honestly... its a matter of personal experience. Theres no evidence that would show posting under an existing thread gets your questions answered quicker, as im sure some people might have done both but have had better experience with posting a new thread.
D) Obviously thats understandable. But to what degree? moderators would "decide" which threads are relevant to what query? Im sure even moderators understand that people are going to post because not everyone has hours to spend looking certain things up. While you can look at two different threads and in your opinion they could be the same, the variations of the two threads could show quite a difference in the solution thats needed for a problem... and just because someone doesnt like someone, is that really how it should be? goodbye?
E) Hah how do YOU know why people are posting? have you done a survey? and dont tell me its common sense. While sometimes it can be because of laziness of reading, it can also be the fact... someone couldnt find what they are looking for. wow imagine someone posting because of that. Maybe the wiki does answer the question, then again, maybe some people looked and didnt know how to interpret the answer to the question so needed to get more advice or opinions.
F) Using an example of a situation thats totally irrelevant to that actual discussion is quite useless IMO. Thats not true all the time.. maybe it means a cop would look around or search you to try to find more evidence to put you up... but id hardly interpret that into "more trouble" then just kissing the cops butt. You used an analogy of a subject thats basically "stand up for yourself and say what you mean, or dont" and that analogy goes both ways. Some situations help you by shutting up, while others dont.
I dont think I need to say more either. While im sure a detailed reply will probably attract more trolls... this was merely just a single reply based on "thesires" direct interpretations, opinions, and outlooks. While I myself believe in many cases new threads shouldnt be started and just post in existing threads, I still remember there are billions of people out there... and a little confusion or misinterpretation is understandable. Theres many situations and solutions ive seen or found..
1) The person who spends his time trolling the forum and finding these type of threads, then disrespectfully and aggressively insults the OP and complains.
2) The kind person who directs the OP to the right place.
3) The person who doesnt care and doesnt want to hear it so doesnt read the thread and watches how it quickly sinks to the bottom because it doesnt get many replies.
My solution is always if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all. If you dont want this thread to stay at the top... dont respond to it.
One last thing, these are my opinions and are that only. They are not regarded by myself, or is it assumed that whats posted above reflects any views of others. It doesnt show anything factual, its just merely an opinion stated. So plz dont spend time arguing that

I figured that since you spent so much time editing, checking grammar and punctuation that you might want to know that you forgot the period on the very last sentence.
lol the fact that I didnt edit any grammer at all would just be giving me a compliment. So thanks. I actually edited it to add in the line at the bottom, to tell people that it was opinion based, and not expressing any views of others. That way I wouldnt offend too many people. But geez was that post you made even neccessary? Ill leave the period off on this one too

About as necessary as this one. BTW, you misspelled grammar. Anyway, your welcome. Your previous post was quite intelligently written.
Calm down u too, this isnt why i created this thread. Ive been on this site for some time now and have flashed countless roms both on my 8525 and tilt and never had a weird problem like this. That is why i created this thread which i also dont do very often. I guess if it makes everyone happy i could copy and post my problem in the 2 rom threads and see if someone can answer it. Thought this would be easier yes for everyone but i guess not. Admin go ahead and delete this thread i started since it must be taking up too much valuable space on this forum and people are tired of seeing it instead of helping me, thank you.

I totally understand what ur saying but my problem is even with the stock radio that comes with the rom, 1.65.14.06. I rom worked perfect for about a week with the original radio then this problem started so i changed radios and still didnt help.
I've had this issue too. Less so after disabling Voice command, but it happened again yesterday. The bad this is that you don't realize its gone mute until you try to dial out. Ringtones and all notifications are gone too.
I've had it happen with and without bluetooth and with multiple radios.
there are always recommended actions to take after flashing a rom. You must hard reset after flashing. Weird stuff does happen when you don't hard reset. This could be due to the rom, too acting really funny. You guys probably put it through scenarios where it gets unstable. Theres a good chance these problems are fixed in the newer roms.
I seriously wasnt even concentrated on spelling or "grammar", but I did find it pretty funny out of all the words ive typed, you nailed me on the "grammar" one. Admitantly ive been spelling it that way for a long time, so it made me laugh when I seen your post. Thanks (seriously)

A quick HTS Titan Radio ROM question...

Please forgive me, as I have searched the forum but did not see an answer to my question.
On my HTC Titan, it is my understanding that there is an FM radio inside, but Sprint decided for what ever readon not to use it. I see in the xsa wiki that there is a "Radio ROM".
Which brings me to my question.
this "Radio ROM" v3.42.50 seems to be the latest and greatest.
How is this 'radio rom' different from a regular rom update where it "re=dos" the complete phone? Does it just 'unlock and make active' just the radio part/section/chip/whatever it is?
And pardon me, I downloaded 3.42.50 and being the non-developer on this site, just a sponge of your knowledge and using the end result of the great stuff yall come up with how do I use this rom? Do I place it in a folder? it is not a cab or exe.
Please enlighten me as to what to do with this or is it just for you guys?

There is no FM radio inside a Titan.
A radio ROM is the instructions used to control the cellular functions (among other things) of the device. It is not something to be messed around with lightly, as it can break your machine if misapplied.
Radio ROMs (as OS ROMs) are just for the people who know what they are doing. Search around here and read a lot until you become one of us, and then you will know how to use them.
Until then, I advise not messing with Radio ROMs too much.

*(Cricket-Vogue, Rom Flashing Help. Thank You!)*

I have learned and gained so much from all the members of the Xda community. So thank you. One thing I haven't learned much about is flashing roms. I have searched the forms many times but just cannot find what I am looking for, for my cricket phone. So if you know anything about cricket roms, you are the person I am looking for.
My question is, where do I start? I have a HTC vogue cell and I am on the cricket network. I am looking for a rom that is fast, clean(no extra crap), and is built to work with(or has included) M2D(My current phone version does not work with it(Adding programs/contacts, in their respective tabs...?)), and finally works with the cricket network(aka working mms, gps, calling, internet, ect.)
Also I do not know much about installing roms. So instructions geared for a monkey would help much. Aka, I don't know anything about the process: flashing, radio versions, or what I should do first, second, last.
Thank you for putting up with my incompetence. No, seriously, thank you.
To be honest, the best thing you can do is go to the vogue section and check the new ROM threads. most rom cooks write all details about the roms there.. and all sections have threads explaining how to flash roms.
if you still have questions after you've learned a bit from reading, we'll try and answer everything you throw in our way
for instance...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425267
Thank you Nir36. But alas the rom that you suggested(with the link), no where mentions on it's page, the Cricket network..?
Lets take these other popular roms, both of which I am very interested in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413376 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
Neither of them mention the cricket network or have very clear instructions on how to install. Any suggestions, ideas? Thank you.
the cook doesn't need to clearly state every network his rom would work with.
if a rom fits a device, it would (most probably) read any network. unless i'm missing something here and this cricket network is different than all others.
So if the Cook mentions every network, but cricket, your saying it will still be completely compatible?
The Vogue Flashing FAQ for WM6.5 is very, VERY helpful, and can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508544
I'm looking in to getting a vogue when my tax return comes in, and getting it on Cricket myself.
Hope this helps, and I'll let you know how mine goes when I get it.
