Radio Question for ARHD 3.6.0 Users.... - HTC Sensation

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.

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.

[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.

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.

Hi guys
I recently switched my Rom from rooted stock to super OSR and I can't quite be sure but I can swear I have had a slight drop in reception and my battery doesn't quite have the pep it did

BAMF ICS Thunderbolt ROM Data Drops

Good evening. Has anyone experienced any success with the data drops with the new radio combo. I have tried the combo for several days. As long as I have 4G data is fine. As soon as the connection switches to 3G and back to 4G, I have to reset data connection by turning on/off airplane mode. If anyone had this issue and no longer experiencing it, please advise what steps were taken to resolve. I have also performed a Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik.
Thanks again in advance!
This may not be helpfull because I have no idea what combos you are referring to but I can tell you I have had zero problems with 4g data drops and also no problems returning from 3g back to 4g since I loaded bamf ICS. I came from stock GB and never touched any radios.
Just tried to post a SS of my stuff but apparently its considered spam because I'm a noob? Lol

Thanks for the reply. Can you confirm the radio versions you are using?
I have Radio: 1.49.00.0406w_1
LTE: 0.01.79.0331w_1
Thanks again.
I am using the newest radios on this ROm, and I do get the data drops, but I don't think they are related to switching from 3G/4G, I think they just drop. And I had the same problem w/ the other radios as well. Not sure what it means, just trying to get to 10 posts so I can ask some F'n questions in the devolpment section
Well sorry no help here. Mine are the exact same. Wierd

Another noob here, but I tried the BAMF ICS as my first rom flash (I rooted to get rid of the bloatrware) and had lots of trouble dropping data with those same radios. My phone was also very laggy when running this. I just about had to count to 2 after I pressed on anything to wait for it to respond.
My second ROM flash was to Liquid's 2.6 beta ICS version. It doesn't have sense, but is much smoother and responsive. I'm also down to only dropping data once or twice a day from the multiple drops with the BAMF leak.
My biggest problem with the Liquid build is I don't know how to make the apps show up in a list instead of icon view.
Using the BAMF leak and the latest radio combo, I was having data drops at least 4 times a day. Just this morning I switched over to the Open Mobile radio combo and it's been solid the whole day.
I just flashed to liquid's ICS 2.7 last night and had data drops on .19. I moved to the leaked radio combo and it seems solid, but others have reported the opposite.
Here is the radio I am using with no data drops.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864157
With Liquid's latest AOSP release, I'm getting less data dropping than with the leak, in fact I've had none since I flashed it this morning
Edit: I'm using the .19 radios

Honestly, I think I've dropped data maybe once with the BAMF release, yet to drop at all on the new LiquidSmooth release, however my Wi-Fi now causes my phone to freeze when it's turned on.
LiquidSmooth Data Drops
Flashed Liquid IcS last night. Great work.....! While in the house no data drops. 4g rock solid. But outside different story. Drove through the city of Atlanta about 40 miles had 5 data drops.

try the leaked radio combo, .19 dropped like crazy for me but the leak has been solid. Unrelated, but my battery life on liquid's build is amazing.
Mine has been solid on the .19 radio. Much better than it was on my GB rom.

[Q] Firmware/Radio version CMX T-MOBUS

Please be gentle if I failed to research this more fully before posting
I recently went from Stock ICS to CMX (19 Oct). I notice that my battery life is so-so now. I figure I need to update my Firmware/Radio .I want to pair with my Rom correctly. I am currently running :
Phone: HTC Sensation 4G
HBOOT 1.27.1100
Carrier: T-Mobile US
ROM: Bruce2728 CM 10 Jellybean 4.1.2
Radio: 11.69A33504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2
Firmware: ?
Recovery: 4EXT Recovery Touch
I am curious about "kernel-bruce2728-05092012.zip" and "cm-10-TMOUS-DATA-TEST-bruce2728-pyramid.zip"
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
I think you have the TMOUS 3.32 firmware. The TMOUS data test is an old build that tried to resolve some data connectivity problems for TMOUS users

The battery life on CM10 is questionable right now due to elemetns Google added to the google services framework starting with Android 4.1.2 around October 10th-ish.
It cause nearly constant wakelocks by Google services that are trying to have various google apps talk to each other to sync everything up.
In other words it's using battery during sleep states, even though your battery graph will show that it's not. But when wake the phone up you'll see a quick battery drain down to what the actual level is within a few minutes.
From playing with it, I'd say these wakelocks eat about 10% - 20% of the total battery life, depending on your use. (The more you use the device, the less the wakelocks are hurting you since the hone is awake anyway)
Your radio and firmware are probably not a major factor in the battery drain. Though finding that 'perfect' radio / ril / firmware combo for you might give a small boost. Maybe 5%.
This problem isn't due to the CM Team or the ROM develper. It's a Google issue. I don't know if it's supposed to be doing this or if it's something that will be fixed on 4.1.3. But bear in mind 4.1.2 isn't exactly avaialble for wide spread release in the Android world, so it could just be a bump in teh development road.
Is it worth it to update my radio to 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M ? I see a lot of signatures with other people using it.
no..problem is we all live in different areas and what works for others might completely disconnect your data due to your area.what you can do is experiment with different radio and ril to find one compatible with your area. remember your old radio so you can return to it if need be. when i switched radio and ril i just experimented to see which was best. start with the basic ics radios and rils this is a good place to start. hope this is helpful. best wishes!

Thank you for the tip. I hasn't sure if ICS radios and ril were compatible with Jelly Bean
