Radio upgrade for TMO-US Sensation 4g phones? - HTC Sensation

I see at least 1 rom recommends upgrading to a specific radio. Is there an upgraded radio that we can use that will provide any performance increase what so ever?
TMobile USA branded Sensation 4g phones specifically.
Thanks!

I am using the one you are on now and it has worked best for me. 10_58 gave me terrible data speeds. 10_56 gave me terrible battery drain. Im on tmous.
I always use the latest one and try it. If it works good, then I keep it

Best Radio for TMobile USA?

While my radio seems to be mostly working, I don't know if any other would work better or give me faster speeds. It seems my data reception is a bit variable, sometimes web pages load slow enough not to seem like 3G, other times speed is decent.
I have TMobile USA in a 3/4g area, InsertCoin 3.4.4, and radio 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2. What is considered best Radio and RIL for TMobile USA?

It really is the best radio that works for you.
I live in Chicago on TMOUS and I use the radio in my sig along with .169 RILs

I was just hoping to hear from other TMobile users who have knowledge of radios. Before I start flashing radios, I want to have reason to think the one I am putting will be better, as I understand there is some risk.

No problem (TMOUS is TMObile USa btw)
I had bad luck myself with 10.58. Drained my battery too fast.
The Radio and RIL i suggested are the ones that come on the phone with the Gingerbread update.

Will switching to your radio improve data speeds and reception as well?

Saint Louis, where we have 10mhz of AWS.
I would like to go to the 10.56 radio and ril .169. I understand the safest way to flash the radio is to flash a RUU, updating the ROM as well. I would like to get rid of the InsertCoin anyway as I am having another issue with it. I want to keep clockwork, the factory unlocked state and root. This phone was an Asian factory unlocked phone, but I want an English RUU. Any recommendations?
Actually, i realized that I have a mismatch between my RIL and my radio (I didn't change yet). (This is how the seller set my phone up, as I bought it used.)
I have 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 with HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ.
From the RIL thread, I see that if I am to have 10.58, I should have this RIL
HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ from the new Sensation XE RUU!
Radio versions 10.15.9035.02_2
Actually, I plan to switch to the 10.56 radio, and I already have its RIL, so I will skip flashing the RIL.
ril 169 and 10.56 - 01M
This one has work for me in Tmo, Puerto Rico
HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ
10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M
Testing the latest radio and ril from 3.25fw ICS 4.0.3 sense 3.6 ROMS (Coredroid 4)
I am not so sure if I having equal reception, maybe a little be slightly lower or intermittently lower.

[Q] Recommend me a radio?

So I've been searching for the past couple days, but I'm coming up with a lot of conflicting info, and some stuff I just can't find. I've got a TMOUS Sensation 4G, S-off, running the latest InsertCoin 4.03 ROM, and I'm just not getting the same signal quality I got with my Mytouch 4G. Used to get at least 1, maybe 2 bars of HSPA at my house, but all the Sensation seems to pick up is EDGE. Can someone recommend me a radio, and a corresponding RIL? It'd be great if you can link me to it too, as I see some radios mentioned here and there that aren't linked in the radio thread. If it helps, I live in Eastern Massachusetts. Thanks much.
same situation
Hi,
I live in Boston MA.
Before I installed custom ROM, I had 4G speed with T-Mobile.
Now after installing customer ROM, I am only able to get on EDGE.
Radio: 11.21.3504.13_2
RIL: htc-ril 4.0.0012HMQ
I installed custom ROM: SensationBlitz and did not back up my old ROM so can't go back.
Anyone have success with 4G speed in Boston on HTC Sensation with T-Mobile, if so what radio / RIL?
THANKS!
No response yet, but I was able to return to stock ROM and get very good 4G speed in Boston..
I will post once I find out my radio and ril

ARHD and T-Mobile US Users

Under the 10-post limit so I need to post here.
I have a HTC Sensation Z710E, I believe it originally came from Asia. I am using the phone in the U.S. with T-Mobile.
Regarding the ARHD ROM, I always noticed,
"HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!"
Should I be using the T-Mobile ROM and should I flash this file? I'm confused whether this refers to:
1. The HTC Sensation 4G phone sold through T-mobile and users of T-Mobile in the U.S.
2. Any HTC Sensation phone and users of T-Mobile in the U.S.
I've traditionally used the standard ROM without any issues. Just wondering if I can get even better performance. That aside, are there any differences between the two phones besides firmware?

Hi,
ARHD 1.2x is for TMOUS users in the US using the TMOBILE network.
So,yes,you should be OK using it.
Make a nandroid just in case .
I have a TMOUS Sensation. I am currently running 1.2.2 with 3.33x and faux.
I have been enjoying the rom. The phone seems very stable and battery is lasting nicely.
my questions are-
As long as I run the PG58IMG file for better signal/data, can I run any of the 3 listed ROMs on my Sensation? Does the Tmobile version just preserve the original Tmobile feel (icons etc) or do the not Tmobile ones cause issues? Are there any advantages (other than beats or no beats) to the different ROMs?
Thanks!

[Q] UK HTC Sensation XE - GPS problem in US

Hello, I purchased an HTC Sensation XE and found out that it is a UK version.
I am not able to get a GPS lock and I think it is because the US does not use the same GPS protocol as those satellites used in Europe.
Does anyone know if it is possible to root this phone and install new flash firmware to make it work or is there a hardware difference that will make this impossible?
