Researching and reading some homeowner concerns of htc sensation, I have observed that a large number of users after making root and s-off a large majority are having problems with the responsiveness of the data signal on the phone, even do not know that usually this problem if the custom ROM or made S-OFF, so if we know the problem is there, if you have the same problem post your complaints here.
people forget to match up radio versions and corresponding rils. i haven't had any issues with the properly matches rils/radios.

Here's what you want, but I tell you that I tried everything and still does not solve this problem, I combined the radio and RIIL and versions anyway and I have not been able to solve this problem

So your still stuck with the same problem as me? Or did you just go back to out of the box stock Rom? I was thinking of just go with the stock, since I've been having problems mainly on signal issues after I flashed arhd and I can't stand having to turn airplane mode on and off everytime to gain signal.

Root and a off don't relate to signal, but what you flash after that does. Easiest solution is to use the same radio and ril combo as was included stock, whichever ROM you're using. Newer radios can give some improvements, but also can cause issues

Meaning the radio that comes with the out of the box stock , radio that comes with the phone when I first got it?

I forget which was the radio I had my phone when I was stock, but I will install the 2 stock rom Asian version and then see what works best for me, my phone is the international version with unlock factory...... HTC Sensation Z710e Asian.

This usually only happens when you flash a GB radio in ICS, or an ICS radio in GB. Try to flash a stock ICS radio. On the Sensation, radios seem to make little difference.
where can i find a stock ics radio
Thanks dude got it figured out! Thanks for the suggestion! Worked once I found the five ics radios

Lol so many posts of confused users trying to fix their radio during this outages at least the leap-second did not harm our beloved Sensation...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
He might not have been affected by the outage though. Some people lost EDGE and HSPA+, others lost just HSPA+ and the rest didn't lose anything.
I am recently shifted from MyTouch4G to Sensation4G and performed all preliminary steps i.e. S-OFF, Rooting and Super CIDing.
While searching for ROMs to flash.. i saw that my device's firmware also needs to be upgraded.. so i did a little search and flashed 3.33 universal from Kohr-Ah's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767)
Now i am facing couple of problems..
1. First i installed DarkForest which required 3.33 however it wasnt booting up so i trashed it and flashed Team Venom's Viper which booted up pretty well and started using it. Anyone can tell me why darkforest wasnt booting up ?
2. I usually dont get very good network reception on ground floor at my home still Mytouch4g never lost signals but since i have moved to Sensation4g, signals' reception is very dodgy on the ground floor.. it comes and goes.. Can anyone help me by suggesting the best radio/ril for my handset or give me couple of suggestions so that i can hit and trial.. PFB my current radio/ril
RIL - 4.0.0037HMQ [2]
RADIO - 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Looking forward for input...
Hi there. With radio and ril it's very difficult to give a recommendation because we all live in different reception areas. But you can start with the generic Ics radios and rils and do some experimenting and see which gives you the best signal. Read the radios carefully and make sure their Ics and for your country. I also upgraded my radio and the generic Ics worked well. Let me give you the link for the radio and rils. Hope this helps out. Best wishes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 scroll down. And you will find the links to radio and rils. After you read.

I don't have a very good reception either. It's much worse than my iPhone. I have tried everything, from changing ROMs to kernels, radios, rils. Nothing changed. So my conclusion was that the Sensation has an awful reception and there is nothing you can do about it. Just live with it
@[OP]
Hi,
"GetRil" from the market may help you to find the best radio/ril combination.
I changed my radio and ril and I have five bars on H reception. It's really good. So no, not everyone has really bad reception. Mines much better than it used to be with new radio and ril. Hopefully you also will get positive results!

Hi,
Use "GetRil" from the market.
It will tell you the best combination for you.
Unless you live in the same place as realsis,then, his combination will not necessarily work on your phone.

hi unfortunately i can't suggest a combo for you due to the areas we live in are different but i can help with a place to start. I'm going to send a link for generic ICS radio and rils. on link please read instructions carefully and scroll down then look carefully and you will find the ics radios and rils link. try out a few and see if it helps. i was lucky, the first one i tried worked for me. also keep your old radio number so if you want to return to it you know what it was and can find it. you will flash the ril like a rom, however radio must be flashed differently. place the pg58img file at root of sd card. pull battery, put battery back in, press volume down and power, when it boots into boot loader it will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update. press power for yes. once the update is finished you MUST delete the pg58img file from sd card or in boot loader it will continue to try to update over and over. so make sure you delete it. Hope this helps. here is a link to radios and rils. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
hope this is helpful for you.

Have you tried changing your radio and ril files? Start with the generic ics radio and ril. I'll give you link. Please read the instructions carefully. Also I believe you must be s off to do this. I had signal problems and changed my radio and ril and it's been good ever since. Here is link.

I'm just curious. I'm running the newest elegancia 4.1 on 3.32 firmware. What exactly is the difference in 3.33? Would there be any noticeable change in operation or performance? Mainly just wondering if its worth the effort to change firmware as I'm not seeing any bugs with the Rom/firmware I currently use.
Also, I dropped my phone recently and my WiFi will no longer turn on. I'm assuming I somehow physically broke my WiFi, as I've tried restoring a backup and new rom and still nothing. Any other ideas?

The difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is that 3.33 updates your radio to 11.24 (you can check what radio you have by booting into the bootloader).

Actually it's radio 1.76 in 3.33. Also it changes the ril and hboot. But saying that there's not that much difference all roms that work with 3.33 work with 3.32 also

Remove the back cover and look for broken contacts at the top of the phone there's a thread on xda but don't remember where if you discover broken ones try replacing the back cover as this is where the antennas mobile at TBS bottom and GPS WiFi at the top I think

I've looked. They seem fine. WiFi won't even turn on, just sits at turning on and drains battery or errors out.

Yep same thing here. I am on T-Mobile but no 4g. More or less happened when I upgraded to the new Hboot 2.15. I have since downgraded with a RUU file. And installed newest venom Rom. But I can't connect faster than EDGE. I have read on the T-Mobile forums that people had this problem when upgrading to jellybean. It is a known problem, butan I wish there was a fix. It sucks.
So ?

Maybe I am missing something but the fix for "stuck on Edge" and not getting 4G is not there at the link you posted above.
to the OP of this thread - yes, this seems to be a known problem. I too lost my 4G when I upgraded from Stock (on my TMO HTC ONE S) to custom roms (4.1.2) - no matter what I did, I was never able to get 4g working. .. wish there was a fix for this but there isn't.....
Now.. I know that a different radio (not the one on my phone) gives you 4G - the trick is to find a flash for this particular radio and also (someone corrects me if i am wrong) but you gotta be S-OFF if you want to flash radio - I am not S-OFF so even if I find this radio (version : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22) I won't be able to flash it... sucks...
Anyone knows / can post a link to where we can get this radio : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22 ...
