Radio doubts!!

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.

[Q] Very Low reception and call dropping issues

Hi
I have Coredroid ROM v6.5 installed on my inspire. The radio im using is:
12.48.60.23u_26.08.04.07_m3
The radio is real good when it come to GPS i mean my gps takes like 2-3 secs to lock any where and the accuracy is almost everytime 6 meters.
But the thing is like 30% of the time my network shifts to 3g and the reception bar drops to 1 (on a scale of 1-5) and sometimes even no bar at all. I have call drop issues too and sometime people calling me get the ring on there end but i dont get any calls.....
please recommend me any solution to that or any other radio with very good gps result as i use gps a lot. Thanks in advance.
Did you flash the appropriate RIL for the Radio?
Heres a list of the current Radios.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
Here are the RIL's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040986
I was using Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M_Test on coredroid and had no problems. I've actually used this radio on quite a few of the roms with no issues.
I also flashed the leedroid kernal and used in in conjunction with coredroid and it improved my battery life drastically.
The RIL list doesn't have my radio mentioned. What should I do ? Install new radio?
Didn't saw the thread completely so I flashed the compatible RIL. Will tell if it works or not.
What radio do you have?

stock update vs. CM 7.0.3 speed: why?

so I rooted my Inspire 4G, and downloaded the 1.84 radio rooted/SL from this forum. Then I installed CM7, 7.0.3. to be exact, and I noticed the speed tests were always slower. Last week, before I unrooted/restored to stock original, I had it rooted but before I got 1.84. I thought this time, after putting 1.84, CM7 should be as fast or faster. But it was not. I usually got good <200 pings, but download speeds of 2-2.9, uploads a little higher than one. With 1.84 rooted/SL, I've often gotten speeds higher than 7 to download, as on the last 4 tests, and have had quite a few download speeds higher than 10 with 1.84 stock rooted/SL. I'm in NYC. With CM7 today, I tried editing the APN settings per what I saw here on XDA, to no avail.
Can someone tell me why? What custom ROMS can I get which will be leaner AND faster than stock? I love CyanogenMod's layouts, themes, customization, but cannot stand the slower speeds. Could it be that custom ROMs are optimized for Desire HDs and not Inspire 4G's? I already tried CoreDroid, and not only was it slow, but had terrible battery life. I also want a ROM that has good maps, gps, wi-fi, as few bugs as possible. I really do want gingerbread, but it should be fast, as the Gingerbread man was. Another issue with CM7 was that sometimes, it would lose all data capabilities, the blue H and bars would go white, and when I'd try speed test, it would go to Houston TX for a server.
can I please get a response? I wanna use a custom rom, but I wanna know how to get a custom ROM which makes my phone faster.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you try some of the radios in the radio thread. With CoreDroid 6.8, I had good luck with radio Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 along with its RIL, although I can also say that radio Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release and its RIL seemed to give better battery life.
From what I've read, radio performance can be specific to geographic location. So what works good for me in AL may not work as well for you in NY.

Radio Question for ARHD 3.6.0 Users....

I am running 3.6.0 but my signal strength and data speed seem pretty slow. My iPhone 4 on Edge seemed faster honestly. I am on TMOUS in San Diego. I am not on the 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio. When I flashed the ROM I clearly read Mike suggests 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 for the "3.5.X" ROM's, so I didn't bother changing the radio since I am on 3.6.0. Did I read this wrong, or should I have updated the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2??? Has anyone done this and did it make a huge difference? Please help. Thanks.
Im in San Diego as well and I just downloaded ARHD 3.6.3 and stayed with my stock radio. Did you figure out exactly which works better?
I still have never changed my radio and everything is perfect. No need to flash a different radio in my opinion. Hit me up if you need any advice.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
I flashed Mike's recommended radio and have since experienced horrible battery drain. I would visually see 1% drop every 15 minutes. I have already drained once, charged full, and wiped stats.
I'm using 3.6.3 btw.
**How do I get back my stock radio? Or anyone has any experience with better radios? I'm on WIND mobile in Canada (1700/2100 Mhz, same as T-Mobile)
So I installed ARHD 3.6.4 and have my regular tmous radio and then I flashed the 169 RIL to go with it and my battery and signal are doing very well. I can't believe I took this long to jump onto a non stock rom. Battery and overall performance between the stock and ARHD is night and day.
