First time poster, please be gentle.
Encountered an interesting problem but can't seem to figure out how to fix.
Been using various custom ROMS: IC, LeeDroid, ARHD and MIUI on my HTC Sensation.
When I use the app in 3G/4G/H it does not connect to the secured server. But it works fine in Wifi (which is of little use when you are trying to pay for parking at the meter).
What I have found is that IC, LeeDroid and ARHD have this issue, but it works on MIUI and stock. I've even tried different kernals (faux and bricked) to no avail and it seems be ROM related.
Been looking at the build.prop files to see if there is any clue as to why this is, but nothing there.
Currently on the 10.15 Radio and matching RIL.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi there!
I using HyperSensation 1.0 ROM, which is fantastic. Except my GPS locks instantly to some bogus place (it's completely off, in the ocean for example). I get no satellite locks. I even set my gps.conf to North America (I am in Toronto, ON Canada) using FastFix
I want to try to fix this by getting a new radio, as the dev of HyperSensation said to use the "newest" radio found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143 but I'm sure we have different kinds of Sensations. And I hope newest radio refers to the last item on the list, ie. "From the 1.72.401.1 RUU:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
md5: 722549b642a1374964798cc82100855e".
My current radio is 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M ..
Is it a good idea to update to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2? Will it work with my T Mobile Sensation Phone in Canada using an AWS network on Mobilicity?
And would this be the only thing to flash, or do I need to flash the corresponding RUU/RIL? If yes, which one works with my rom and phone?
I really appreciate any help! This GPS (and slow speeds, may I add) is fustrating me.
I've looked around the forums, and haven't found any good problems related to my particular issue.
Well, I couldn't be happier. I went ahead and flash my tmobile to that new Radio and everything is working fantastically!
Im so glad I did this, my gps works! It didnt work on stock, nor coredroid rom, nor hypersensation until i installed this radio
cheers for anyone that may have a similar issue
(my device wouldnt boot up after i installed my new radio driver. but i found out i had to remove the .zip file from the sdcard... that scared me, thought i bricked my phone! )
I realize many of you see this as a dumb question. But I see a lot of posts about radios. I've tried looking around the web what it is but couldn't really find good explaining information. I see a lot of posts for flashing the radio and a lot of different versions.
I'm running MIUI on my Sensation 4G and if radio is something I need to flash then I want to know what it is before I try flashing and brick my phone. So I've managed to find the version I have so if someone can point me the right direction I'd be very grateful.
So the main question is - WHAT IS RADIO?
So this is what I got
Radio - 10.14.9035.01_M
the radio pretty much just has to do with the wireless connectivity of ur phone, so ur wifi, bluetooth, 3g all controlled by your phones radio.
you shouldnt have to flash a new radio for every rom, if your facing problems, and think a new radio could fix them then you could try a new radio if you wanted.
hope this helped
Lol oh yea definitely! very simply put too! I just was wondering why there's so many versions and chance of bricking dam thing.

Flashing the radio is just about the only sure fire way of bricking it.. It's one of those things people are most skeptical about flashing. No nandroid will save you with an improperly flashed radio
EDIT: I've been flashing roms for a long time now and not once have I ever had to flash a new radio.

OK. I installed the HD Revolution 3.6.9 ROM days ago and have 2 major issues. As I am a new member, I am unable to post in the developmental section. Grateful for the OP to ask the question as I am also seeking to know "what radio is".
Although, I also want to ask - what is a kernel?
I believe thousands of members installed that HD Revolution 3.6.9 ROM and I couldn't find any reference for bluetooth and mms issues.
My phone can only detect my Nokia phone, my Plantronics bluetooth M100 is undetectable.
I am also unable to send MMS and yes, I tried the original settings, called the network and played with different settings but problem persists.
I checked the Hardware Information of the phone and it says "Bluetooth address - unavailable"
Kernel is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. So basically kernel tells all the hardware what to do (overclocked processors, undervolted batteries and etc) So far best one I've tried for Sensation 4G is the 2.6.35.14 Trinity S4G. Processor is overclocked to 1.7Ghz from stock 1.2 Ghz and the battery life is great!

Obviously some radios are better than others?
Like the goal for man:
We want the best and we want it now.

Well that I'm not sure how accurate this statement is. That's why I started this thread just to know what it is. But from all the info I gathered online, you don't really need to flash a radio. Every thread with radios I saw that ppl will put a warning that you might brick your phone. So, my phone works great, never had any problems so I'll stay on the safe side (for now) and just do more research

Good decision..
Hey everyone,
I've been using different roms from XDA for awhile now, first on my HTC Legend and over the last few months on my Infuse, so I'm not really new to this.
Here's my problem:
Whenever I use an AOSP rom (Miui 2.3.2b (Galnet), Miui 4.0, Miui Shock N' Awe, CM7, CM7 Nightlies etc.) I get a weird crackling/static noise when making calls (not when on speaker phone). Every time before I install one of these roms I use Odin and go back to stock, wipe everything properly, fix permissions etc.
I've tried disabling DSP, enabling DSP, uninstalling DSP, I've tried every setting possible, I've also tried Voodoo Sound etc. Nothing seems to work, in call volume doesn't make a difference and I've literally tried every single modem currently available and including the newest one UCLB3. I've spent hours googling and searching for an answer and nothing seems to work. I've tried OC'ing, under clocking, fresh installs etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? I can confirm that sound works fine on Zeus, Aeon, Revolution, stock roms etc but that's not what I want to use (personal preference) so it can't be hardware related, the only thing I can think of is the kernel. Is there an AOSP kernel that will fix this issue or even something I can try? The community v8 one wouldn't work with Miui and I don't think Entropys will either.
Please HELP! I'm desperate! I know there's a few others with the same problem.
I'm thinking hardware problem. There was a thread about this waaaaay back and one guy said he got rid of by running a decent strength magnet along the ear peice. Something about metal shavings or whatever. I never tried it tho and I still encounter the crackles every one in a long while. Just some input.
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
I don't think it can be hardware related, it ONLY happens on those roms, it doesn't happen if I hook up headphones or put it on speaker phone, it also doesn't happen if I play music etc.
IMO it has to be something that comes with those roms or the kernel it uses.
I'm using CM7 Eaglesblood 2.8 with the T15 Trinity kernel.
My problem is that my GPS won't turn on after my phone has been on for a while. I'm not 100% sure after what exactly the GPS stops working, but so far every day I try to use it after my phone has been on for a day, this error occurs.
It works once I reboot, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every time I wish to use my GPS.
Some details:
-the GPS is enabled, but the icon in the notification bar doesn't turn on when I am atttempting to use GPS
-I've attempted using a series of apps that use GPS and this behavior is consistent throughout all of them
-I've experienced the same issue on the newest CM7 Hellfire ROM with the faux SV and OC/UV 048 kernels which makes me think this is an issue with CM7 or the G2X
-I've used GPS status and it produced no results
-I've searched this error through both your forum search and Google. Google produced some results, but none of them helped
So my question, or rather request, is to know whether or not I'm the only one having this problem. I use my GPS a lot, so this is very annoying. Also if someone was having this problem, I'd like to know how they fixed it (and also if they didn't)
GPS is properly fixed in 21y firmware the stock 2.3.4 release, but that means no custom roms.

Hmm okay, thanks. Well in any case, I have a custom ROM which I rather use than the stock. Is there a solution available for CM7 users?
Possibly unrelated, but yesterday my GPS started becoming inaccurate as well as malfunctional. I haven't changed anything, so I'm thinking it's similar to when data is slow some days. If that's the case, it'll fix itself over time.
The original problem still remains, however. Right now I'm under the impression that this is a problem that doesn't have a solution.
I had nothing but trouble with GPS on my G2X. I even exchanged the phone twice in an attempt to get one with a decent GPS. All the symptoms you describe would occur on my phone. Sometimes I'd have to do multiple reboots to get it working again. Since I updated the baseband last week it's been working much, much better.
I miss running CM, and I hope that devs will find a way to make custom ROMs work with the new baseband, but I'd rather have a working phone than a custom ROM. In addition to the GPS issue, my random lock-ups haven't appeared yet either. Granted I haven't had this update on my phone a full week yet, so I can't be certain that it's fixed all the problems yet.
Hey,
I had this problem now for very long time (actually more than 1year) and I tried all the solutions that were proposed in other threads specially this one that reduced the number of reboot but not totally
What I remarked is that when the phone is on the edge of the cell on 3G and trying to move to 2G it will automatically reset especially when the battery is below 50%.
I tried locking the phone on 3G and the number of reset has reduced but the downside of this is that I don't have most of the time connectivity (all the way in the metro for example).
Does anybody know if there is custom ROM or Kernel or Radio (I don't which part do control this) that deal with this issue?
I was running ARHD 6.7(and previous versions) with recommended radio till this morning and now I'm on CM9.
I changed the battery to Anker 1700 so the issue is not coming from the battery.
My phone was bought from French Operator Bytel (SN : SH169V..... if it helps)
Sorry for this long Message
Have you tried get Ril? It's an application in the play store that's a great app. It will let you know if your ril is matching your radio, and if it is not matching it recommends and downloads a matching ril. This really helped me a lot. I was getting a pretty weak signal and found out my ril was not matching my radio. Once I downloaded the matching ril, my signal went from one bar to four and five bars! I was pretty amazed on what a difference it made for me. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try and see if it helps you. If not you can also change your radio and ril yourself and see if you can come up with a better signal. Thing with radio is we all live in different areas so it must be experimented with by you because what works for me might not work in your area. You would start by looking in the generic ics radios and matching rils. Remember your radio now so you can return to it if need be. But before I'd change my whole radio do try Get ril. Hopefully it will make a positive difference for you! Also I believe you must be s off to change radio. Don't know if your s on, or off? But give get ril a try and see how that goes. Best wishes. Hope this was helpful.

I tried the App GetRIL and it says RIL/baseband is matching (RIL 4.0.0013HMQ, 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504...)
Thanks anyway :good:.
I'm just wondering if it's not a HW or firmware defect on the serie of my phone (no limitation on the power usage during IRAT HO).
BTW I didnt get a reboot with CM9 till now but I'm in well covered area, I will see if it crashes again when i'm on the edge of the cell.
Had exactly the same thing last week, purchased a new battery and now the problem has gone away
Looking at the old battery you could see it was swollen
I picked up a battery new for £5 off ebay
I have already changed the battery and the issue is still happening. Anyway with the new ROM it looks stable so far.
I will test it for some days and see if it will happen again
CM Definitely solved the issue

It looks like it's something related to Sense based ROM. with CM it's not happening anymore
Hi walo1,
Which version of CM are you using?
I've installed CM9 on my Sensation some months ago and it worked for a while. But now I'm getting random reboots again...

Hi,
I was using CM9 Opensensation ROM XDA Page and I never got any random reset
Three days ago I flashed CM10 Opensensation2 and I started getting Random reset again
I have no idea what can be the cause but at least with CM9 I didn't see any reset after 1 week usage. I have to go back to CM9.

Yes I tried open sensation myself and although I didn't get rebooting, I had NO data connection!! Have you tried some of the other jelly bean roms? I really like paranoid Android by Dragun. It's fast and smooth like butter with tons of available customization! I have had zero problems with this rom. I'm using version 17. With kernel 3.0.53, and my battery life is excellent! You might want to give it a try? Best wishes to you.

It looks good, I will give it a try next weekend
Thanks
I think I'll try Paranoid Android too then. And that way I'll try JB too.
It's radio Issue
Finally I found what the problem is coming from
Changing the radio to the latest European version two month ago made the phone much more stable with using various versions of CM10.
The version I'm using now is : 11.76A.3504.00_11.24A.3504.31_M with the RIL provided by default in the rom(it shouldn't be impacting)
Hope this will also solve your problem.
