Which radio for sensation? - HTC Sensation

Hi, I'm currently using the HTC sensation on ARHD Rom, but my phone always has really bad reception.
So I was wondering, which radio would be best. I'm in Australia on Vodafone network. Any suggestions guys?
Thanks in advance

so i flashed the radio suggested by, malybru, and so far, its been good. i now get 3 bars where before i would've had 1 or no signal what so ever. i have realized that if i completely cover the top of the device, my wifi signal drops, this never happened before but who holds their phone like that lol.

how has your signal strength been since changing the radio? I have the same issue with my phone

my signal still isnt great but i do think the radio change has helped a little. and ive realised that my phones death grip is now gone, before holding the phone from the top would cause wifi signal to drop but not anymore

Not sure why that would be didn't do that on my phone with 3.6.1, 3.6.3 or 3.6.5 and 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.1.7
Before its doing ok bit I have to re flash the 3.6.2 Rom back coz I didn't like the newer versions so after that both of the shows up everytime, I did superwipe and re flashed Rom same thing.

I would maybe try the newest rom after you wipe your cache. It is by far the best one so far.
Did you flash any mods that may have caused this?

I would try the update first. Watch when the are both showing, is the WiFi signal low or showing no signal? That does happen when the WiFi signal becomes weak. Also make sure the mid you used is for the correct Rom.

Did you get rid of the Tmo bloatware? For me, I just force close the My Account app and the cell signal bars go away.

[Q] Signal low, need help.

Hey guys, my name is Steve I am a new member to XDA developers and I have the T-mobile HTC Sensation 4G, Android Version: 2.3.5, HTC Sense Version: 3.5, and i also put a ROM on it, the Digitalized_0.7, Unlocked. My current service provider is AT&T I only have 3G network with them now, so ever since I got the HTC Sensation after I rooted and unlocked the signal was poor, usually I get 2 maybe 3 bars Max. So do you guys have any idea how to fix this problem? If you do please let me know or give me info on how to fix.
Thanks,
Steve
I would suggest a different radio. There is a thread above yours about radios. Go check it out.

I Installed the new one and my phone keeps on soft rebooting itself after a few minutes. Don't know whats going on but, I guess i'll have to try them all??

Problem and Solution (after ICS update on stock 4.0.3) <not rooted/rooted>

Problem:
after the ICS update last end of march i noticed that sometimes i dont have network coverage,3g network...but before the update it was working really well...getting an error message ""for better experience turn on you network coverage"..but it is tuned on (not on airplane mode)
solution: after reboot, error disappeared but still my main concern is the WEAK network coverage..
anyone has the ANSWER?
Same problem - but i noticed it with WLAN on.

[Q] hspa connectivity issue

My XE connects to Hspa network and will give a good bandwidth around 5 mbps. But the system suddenly drop the speed to some 200 kbps, still showings the hspa connection..I always use wcdma connectivity. Anybody having the issue, know any remedies?
Guys anybody knows the solution, need help

First, I would flash a new RIL which you can find in the general thread (I believe). Flash the second to latest, where the latest is from the HTC Ville. It should fix it.

You can lock signal on hspa only
And it should keep it from going in and out. Press*#*#4636#*#* and a menu will pop up, go to phone information. Click on your current setting and another menu will come up from there you can lock on hspa only and then scroll down to refresh and your set. I use this because my signal switched too much between edge and 4 g. I wanted 4 g always not edge. It works for me. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try. its dependant on signal availability in your area. Best of luck. Hope it helps! Worked great for my issue.

[Q] HTC Sensation No data?

hi everyone, me and my girlfriend both have an HTC sensation with android 4.0.3, software number 3.32.168.52
the problem is that both phones very often loose their mobile data until they are rebooted, and even sometimes the problem comes back fast...
the icon for 3G / H still appears, and changes between sometimes, but both arrows below them stop blinking, resulting in no mobile data, no browser , no google talk, no mails.
if i connect to some wifi im good.
My HTC sensation is unlocked, rooted and all garbage out, but my girlfriend's is vanilla.
Is this some android 4.0.3 bug? my late LG P500 could go weeks without a reboot and no problems what so ever...
I bought a phone that's almost a computer not some cheap calls/sms phone and really use my mobile data.......
As yours is rooted, try getting 'getril' app from the market. Perhaps the radio fw does not match the RIL files?
Also this may happen in 'vanilla' if the phone was made for a different market. Different operators and counties use slightly different channels/freqs and thus the radio should fit the network.
What operator are you on?

hi, thanks for the help, this phone was bought from the operator im currently in Vodafone Portugal. The rom was full of portuguese bloatware which i removed, but even if i messed up something then my girlfriends phone which is also an HTC sensation without any changes should behave...which it doesn't...
just had to reboot my phone to have it working for about 5 minutes and losing data after..
also i notice a lot of 403 501 and other http codes that never happened in my LG P500 android 2.35
even did change to dolphin browser but still nothing....
EDIT:
got getril, says ril/baseband doesnt match, also after i give SU permissions, says it doesnt have them.
If getril say it does not match that might indicate a problem. You can find my configuration at my signature, together with the thread with all the ril files. You can try changing the ril so it would match the radio.
Su should have worked... That's.. weird
