nice work all of the people here that have time sharing their knowledge, i just got one question if you dnt mind, what is better ROM if you live in some part of asia(philippines), the version xx.12 or xx13?,and also what's a better RADIO version also xx.12 or xx.13?
And what's a GOOD combination= ROM xx.12/RADIO xx.13 or ROM xx.12/RADIO xx.12 or ROM xx.13/RADIO xx.13 or ROM xx.13/RADIO xx.12.
i've tried the combi ROM xx.13/RADIO xx.13, and something happen,my xdamini "TEMPERATURE" got higher,it's always WARM,but before, when i'm using combi ROM xx.12/RADIO xx.12,it's ok.(i put it back again NOW to ROM-.12/RADIO.12), but some people sez that RADIO xx.13(better battery life) is better than xx.12, and some also sez that ROM xx.13(better network coverage) is better than xx.12.
quite confusing!, i want the BEST for my mini, and also for saving some battery life. Hope SOMEBODY could help me with this one!
tnx in ADVANCE
ANYONE?, ANYBODY?
I'm completely satisfied with rom 1.13WWE & radio 1.12 for 6 months now. Better batterylife & more stable than with rom 1.11.
Just my 2C
TNX OLTP, you light up my life,gonna test it NOW!!!!
I like radio 1.13 better. I use a vivanco BT headset and with radio 1.12 the incoming sound was terrible. With 1.13 no complaints anymore.
So I guess, only when you have a good reason (like I did) you should upgrade to 1.13.
Hi mr-who,
Which BT device from Vivanco have you exactly? I got a BT22D & indeed the sound could use some improvement, if you got the same I'm going to try radio 1.13.
M
Hi oltp,
Indeed I have the BT22D. Bought it for E 24.95 at Steenweg in Utrecht. I know it is not the most expensive headset, but the incoming sound was a bit choppy. Using radio 1.13, the sound improved a lot. Give it a try and let me know!
Bought it @ a local shop in Arnhem for the same price. The sound isn't exactly choppy, it's more the background noise that's annoying. Anyway I'm going to give it try this week.
Thanks for the tip.
Hi, everybody, with the test i've done and with the reply you post, i have studied and conclude that the version 1.13 RADIO is mostly compatible on most european countries,and the RADIO 11.12 is most compatible on south east asian countries.
the test i've did is comparing the mini with my bluetake i-phono bluetooth headset and testing the reception or signal of the network. BOTH RADIO 11.13 and 11.12 are fine, no problem when calling, listening to music, ect., but the one thing i observe,is that there is a big difference on the temperature of my mini,when i use RADIO 11.12 and the bluetooth is always on,the TEMP of my mini is fine,but when i tried the 11.13,it's kinda WARMER,actually when your listening to music it's normal that the mini is getting warm,but not WARMER or even i dnt use bluetooth and listen to music it's still WARM.
My conclusion is maybe we have a different network signal here in my country compare to others,that's why maybe the're still no available or no available 11.13 updates at all for asian coutries. hope this may help someone quite confuse like me.
and also tnx to OLTP,it's true that the ROM version 1.13 is better battery life saver. that's it! :wink:
wow great
Thx dude for your input. was searching around here for the coments on how the radio rom version differs with one another.

OLTP can you tel me how to upgrade just RADIO ROM ( from 1.12 to 1.13)
What i must to do with "radio1.13.0.sd.nb1" file

I'd say stickie this,with each having an agreed upon description, i know you can find them in the wiki, but these are some of the most asked questions/problems people come up with in new ROM threads.
As mention in this thread, there is even a newer 1.27.12.29 Radio version out but unfortunately nobody has dumped it yet...
ponch92 said:
There are currently 3 radios out there on the threads:
1. 1.27.14.09
2. 1.27.12.17
3. 1.27.12.11
1. I believe this one is the new ATT only radio that apparently upgrades some reception and performance but I haven't really seen it.
2. I haven't tried this one but I think it should work with all Kaisers, I don't know.
3. This was the radio that came with my ATT TILT and I think the default radio for most of these ROMs.
Does anyone have a better explination and/or performance reports? I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread so people know what these radios are and where to get them.

AT&T User here in Sacramento, CA.
Honestly 1.27.12.17 radio gives me the best reception over all of them. I also connect to GPRS and 3G quicker. Call quality and overall reception is much improved over the other two radios.
It might be a good idea to mention that Radio 1) 1.27.14.09 is only compatible with the ATT rom aku 0.4.4 build 18128. This is because the the both this radio and rom include new drivers that can only produce sound when used together.
So if someone is using 1.27.14.09 with any other ROM than the unreleased Att build 18128, they will not have any sound.

I understand that the 1.27.12.xx radios can't be used with the AT&T 1.60 rom, but what about the other way around? Can the 1.27.12.17 radio be used with the AT&T 1.60 (stock, not custom) rom? Or does the 1.60 ROM require the newer 1.27.14.09 radio due to the drivers?
Good note, I'll put it in.

For some strange reason...The newest ATT ROM requires you to have 1.27.14.09. I don't know specifically why this is the case but if you do not use that ratio with the new AT&T ROM it will not work. Vice Versa if you use that newest AT&T radio 1.27.14.09 with a HTC ROM you will get no sound. Just read the 1st post and it will solve all your problems.
Ah this thread certainly helps clear some things up. I couldn't figure out this whole radio problem - but having it laid out like this makes it clear.
So does anyone know the advantage of the newest AT&T Radio? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you have to use an older version of the OS to get a newer version of the radio... ?
It should also be noted that you can get other undesirable effects other besides no sound when using 1.27.14.09 on a ROM that isn't based on AKU 0.4.4
So far I've experienced:
-- Camera not working, shows black image and touchscreen functionality messed up in Camera app (Dutty's New Build + CE OS No.6)
-- Unable to get past HTC logo screen until power timeout, then pixelated garbage fills screen (Gullum Kaiser Touch I)
It might be prudent for ROM cookers to integrate the correct radio into their ROM's for the time being so we don't get a flood of people freaking out that their cameras are broken or their units are bricked.
It remains to be seen if the 1.27.14.09 radio is a one-off, or will be the standard for all new ROMs. Who knows, it may also represent a permanent split between Tilt-based and TYTN II-based ROMs in the future.

Right you are. It seems like this .09 radio is an ATT only thing right now. Hopefully we'll all join in radio cooked harmony soon. I haven't noticed much of a difference between the ones I've tried. I'm currently using 1.27.12.17 with Dutty's newest rom and I was using the .09 with CUSTEL's Rom yesterday... I don't see a difference. Some people do.

Just to throw things off even more...It has been reported by users that there is another Radio, but it hasn't been extracted yet.

You can read about this recent radio here.
This Radio hasn't made it out to main stream cooking yet but should be a general Kaiser radio that works with ROMs not using the specific ATT build (see 1.27.14.09).

FYI This is the radio I have on my XDA Stellar as well as it being on the Dutch Orange Kaiser.
When I get my replacement Stellar (dead pixel issues) I'll be flashing Dutty's ROM and will be able to confirm whether it works with this radio.

Hi Peeps, wondered if any of you Orange (UK) users had changed their Radio version and if so;
1) which one?
2) How does it rate (reception etc)
thanks for the feedback!
French One
Well... i just flashed HTC original ROM and then flashed the french rom 1.27.12.17.... dunno exactly how good it is... but till now seems to work fine.... though seems the original Orange UK rom has better camera performance But dunno try the French one or the US one just before the french listed in the radio page.

No-one can. It's not available.
Incidentally I use 1.27.12.17. I briefly tried 1.27.12.32, but went back to .12.17 as I found that it was giving me slightly better battery life.

1.) Test them yourself
2.) Test it yourself.
Radio's / area differ from everybody. Just try out each one and see which one gives you the best result. That is the best way to tell.
Now if you would have said...everybody in London using Orange then that would have been different but just to simply say a whole country whill give you various reults dependent on region, etc. (I understand England is not that big)
There is already a radio sticky related to this post I suggest next to time to follow up there first instead of creating a new thread!
Hi,
Since I unlocked my Kaiser, I upgraded to .32, and it works just fine. I downloaded it from a thread on this site, where all radios are. Don't have the link handy right now, unfortunately.
Cheers.
Hi,
Just go to the radios thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375 ), there you'll find all the information you need plus some more Knowledge about radios, gps, camera...
cheers
I'm using Dutty's 6.1 rom 20/2/8 ver, unlocked as well (Originally locked to Orange).
I upgraded the radio to 1.64.08.21 and no problems - been running for over a week so far. I would even go as far to say that the bluetooth volume has improved in my car with this version.
Go for it - it's worth it!
Hi all masters in the forum
I started this to learn more about all diferent radios existing for Uni, and to know from the ones with more knowledge wich has best signal, best batery consumption, etc.
Hope you all be interested in this
Thanks!
Gracias
For me the best radio version is 1.15.00, no crashes no signal lost, for the time with 1.18.00 i have a lot of problems, in one way it also depends and from mobile operator
1.18.00 also gave me nothing but trouble. 1.15.00 and 1.17.00 are by far more stable and crashed but a handful of times on me. That was on a WM 6.1 ROM though and I am not even sure if it really was due to the radio or main ROM. That said, I am not sure if any of the upgrades ever brought any increase in radio performance. The general advice here really is "if it ain't broken don't fix it" because there is (nearly) nothing to be gained.
I'm using radio 1.18.00 here with original T-Mobile UK WM5 from 2005 (3 years ago!). No problems whatsoever.

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?
