SMS Delay:should I flash leaked radio?

I have a very bad SMS delay problem. Since I installed Virtuous Saga I had this problem. It persisted even after I installed Fallout. I noticed that the problem dissapeared when I did not use mobile internet. I did some research and discovered that a while ago, many people had this issue, and that the sense 3.0 OTA solved it. From what I know, that OTA had a radio update. So I think that a radio flash could solve the problem. But I want to ask the rest of you if it is worth it to flash the radio, because I am too afraid of jumping to conclusions

So should I flash the radio or not?

I had sms delay on cyanogenmod 7.2 when I had old radio (from sense 2.1 ota). There is a topic named 'sms issue on cyanogen...'. I have flashed radio and problem seems to be resolved. You may try. After flashing radio I had to reformat partitions and restore rom backup.

I am having the same problem on every single rom. The biggest problem is that i am experiencing this on the Desire S, on
the original Desire and i have a friend that has it on a Increbile S

It could be carrier's issue too. Bad network signal?

It can't be, the phones are used in different parts of the city and the network coverage is ok.

I read on a thread somewhere that this problem is caused by the phone getting stuck on HSDPA, and that the Sense 3.0 update to the radio solved it. Still, since I'm on ICS I should try and update to the leaked Virtuous Saga radio, and if I succeed I will tell you how I did it

Hi, did you resolve your sms issue with a radio update? I'm having the same issues with sms delay - my thread for info

Might be telling you all something that you know already - in which case sorry.
But you need to be S-OFF (unlocked) in order to flash a radio, people who have unlocked using HTCDEV cannot flash a radio.
If you did unlock via htcdev, will need to relock, downgrade and apply revolutionary to achieve S-off.
There are a couple of downgrade guides in the INDEX (see link in my signature).

I think for htcdev.com unlocked devices it is possible flashing via PG88IMG.zip, containing radio.img and proper android-info.txt files

I have not solved my issue, because I was too afraid to flash the radio. But, I installed Virtuous Infinity, and the problem (the delay) wasn't as big as it used to be. Still, it is there. Is it really that dangerous to flash a radio?

My device was unlocked with revolutionary so I do not have that issue

yes its risky, but everything that we tend to do to our devices, carries some risk..
If you ensure that you check the md5sum of the radio file once its actually on your devices sd card and only do so with a fully charged battery you minimize the risk.

I'm ok also as I s-off'd via revolutionary. I just thought, I flashed to the pre-rooted stock 2.3.5 via install.zip in recovery. Would this have contained the updated radio? Or would it only update the radio if flashing via RUU?
My current radio is: 3805.06.02.03_M
I should be able to answer my own question with a bit of digging around here.

Yep that's old and the nasty one!
I'd suggest that you want either the latest leaked one (see link in my sig) or this one

I've flashed the radio. All seems to have gone smoothly. I wont know for a while though if it has fixed the sms delay and dropped signal issues. I'll report back.

I wouldn't, several people with it have reported losing sound completely (not just in call) after making 2 - 3 calls and only a reboot fixes the issue but after the next 2 - 3 calls sound is gone. Many of those have gone back to the last official radio which is the one you just flashed.

[Q] Why S-off?

Hello guy's
I have been searching on xda and google, but did not find a clear answer for my question. I know that S-off allows you to do anything to your phone, and i read 'Alpharev'.
I have unlocked my bootloader, flashed the recovery and rooted my Sensation Hboot 1.27.. using the Hasoon All in one toolkit.
The phone is still s-on and i flashed cyanagenmod 9. All working.
The question is: Wat difference does it make when i make my phone s-off? Is it meaningfull to do it?
I am just a noob on this territory, so is it usefull for me to doe the ('risky') wire-trick to S-off my phone?
Thank you!

Hi,
S-off will enable you to flash different firmwares and radios,and any RUU.
Until you NEED to do any of those things,you are OK on s-on.

What the post above says, there's really no need to unless you're gonna be messing with radios, different firmware, cid, and stuff like that

super cid you can flash any firmware region, but it is not required for your device's own firmware.. firmware upgrades are sometimes a must when flashing different roms (like going from gb to ics or vice versa) if you are already on ics I really don't think it's a benefit to upgrade to another ics firmware if yours works fine.. and you can flash different radios that might improve signal and better reception (results vary so only real way to know is to try one yourself) hope that was clear, that's as far as I know
Enviado desde mi HTC Sensation 4G

Like above post says, basically you have more freedom to do what you want with s off. Also flashing involves less steps with soff. I'm s off and I'm glad I did it. I can change radios firmwares, with ease.

I flashed Miui but i was stuck on the Mi-logo when the phone was booting (I could not fix it). Then I flashed Cyanogenmod 9, but here i can't get my contacts back wich I placed on my SIM and Google account, pretty anoying..
Could this be a problem because I'm not S-off?
I realy liked Cyanogenmod 9 and Miui seems nice too, but ik can't get it work properly

Nope has nothing to do with not being soff. Did you flash the gapps addon for cm9?
For MIUI confirm which firmware version you need to run it (could be why)

Yes i had allready flashed the Google apps. I now got it fixed by getting back to stock rom and synced the contacts once more.
But the strange thing is that CM9 still keeps saying: 'No contacts on SIM'.
For the firmware, I do not know which firmware is needed. Is it so that I need a ICS rom?, or must I look at the number, 3.33...
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I know I need a ICS rom, flashing for instance gb is impossible without flashing firmware.. but must the numbers match?

I think it's all great, but I some terms and actions are a little over my head, so I don't excactly understand what the things mean when I'm s-off.
I'm totally new to the rooting and flashing, but I think it's fun to do.
For instance: What is Supercid/cid and RUU excactly?

Well depends. I know some Miui 3.33 roms run awful on 3.32. Makes no sense as 3.33 was literally radio related update.
Otherwise yeah they should mat h. 3.32/3.33 seem to be backward compatible though.
SIM part though that is a new one to me

[Q] Questions about flashing a new radio

I'm thinking about flashing the newer radio without flashing a whole OTA update so I don't have to worry about re-unlocking, changing ROMs. So I have a few questions.
1. Is it worthwhile, first of all, to upgrade to the 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.20_2 radio over the original 10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07?
2. I downloaded a (older) radio-only PG59IMG (for the MT4GS) just to see what it contained and it had a radio.img plus android-info.txt. The android-info.txt was lengthier than the one in the OTA update. So is android-info.txt important to flash if I flash radio.img?
3. Some folks mentioned that it might be important to flash rcdata as well. How is this done?
4. And for flashing radio.img (plus possibly rcdata and possibly android-info.txt if necessary), what's the method? Put all required files in a PG59IMG.zip file or....?
Thanks in advance.

are you s-on or s-off? if you are radio s-off then you can flash the update via pg59img.zip through bootloader and the reflash recovery and rom. this take much time and although its easy (i guess) there are better ways. simply just flash what you want through fastboot, or you can remove what you dont need in the pg59img.zip
HEREis a little tutorial i made a in the g2/dz section on how to use fastboot to flash firmware, dont use the files in that post of course but the concept is the same
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
oh and to answer your other questions, it may be worthwhile, it may not
the problem is that usually the latest radios for a particular device is best for most, as the carrier will attempt to provide the clearest reception, longest battery life, etc for the majority of its users. but it still is on a case by case basis and what works for some may not work as well for others, so if its not broke, dont fix it.
having said that its not too hard to change back so feel free to test different radios and see what works best for you
as for rcdata, it does appear to help most people but you can try with or without it and see what works for you. some people say they get no gps without it, data drops without. other say everything is just fine. on that note there is evidence that matching the radio ril-libs will also give improvements, although for me i couldnt really tell too much and being they need to be flashed with each new rom flash i slowly stopped and havent noticed any improvements/declines in performance.
i just felt this is willing to note as so many seem to swear by it in the g2/dz forum and ive never noticed it in any other phones forum mentioned before Here is more info on edkeys research
hopefully all this helps you understand more

Personally, I got the latest radio by reverting to the most recent OTA stock, which included the radio. From there, I did the HTC unlock, did a stock backup after getting my basics configured, and now I have a full stock fallback to insure that I have something to recover from. Often, when I switch roms, I don't have a huge amount of time to deal with problems, since I use my phone for work, so having a good "safe" if not sexy backup is in my opinion a good thing to do.

Well, I got lots of random reboots after flashing the new radio. Same with radio + rcdata. So I reverted to the original radio/rcdata, which works fine for me. It was an interesting experiment. Thanks for the advice.

Revolutionary, back when I got the phone about a year ago.

There were problems flashing the new radio to Revolutionary unlocked devices back when the new radio came out. Seems that nothing much changed. IIRC to get the radio to work you needed to do the OTA and HTC Unlock to get back to a flashable device.

Ok, so I've ignored all rooting/unlocking developments since I already had revolutionary unlock. So can you correct me if I'm wrong on this? To do OTA and HTC Unlock AND restore S-Off, I would:
1. flash OTA via PD59IMG.zip
2. do HTC Unlock which I'm presuming is this? http://htcdev.com/bootloader
3. Do "JuoPunutbear" process to get S-Off (using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617488 )
And then flash radios, etc.
Is that right?

sounds right to me, and by the way radio soff is key for any android phone.

Hmmm, I'm glad a researched a bit more. Since I'm already Revolutionary S-Off, it doesn't look like that is currently reversible, so no going S-Off with a different method. So unless I'm missing something, it looks like I'm sticking with what I have, which works fine. Just curious if the newer radio might give me a little better reception.

That is an interesting guide you have composed. But how similar were the desire z and g2? About the same as differences between Mt4gs and sensation? I'm thinking could it be possible to load a sensation hboot on to this phone?

well there are the obvious like different cpu, gpu, emmc partitions. and similarities like screen size and pixel density. but i think it would be tough. and would definitely need to match the radio to the spl. things like this have been done before (dream with sapphire hboot) but things needed hacking to work, which is beyond my ability.
if someone found a way to jtag the doubleshot (which for all i know its been done) then testing wouldnt be bad - if you are really interested in swapping hboots then talk to ezterry, he is the best at hacking spl's that i know of
opps, misread
i thought you were saying put the g2 hboot on the ds. the sensation is a lot more similar to the ds and more feasibly swapped but again i would talk with a higher authority on this to be sure.
also what is there to gain? im not too familiar with either phone so i dont know what benefit a sensation hboot may have over a doubleshot one

well it might, like I said I don't know much about the sensation (or the doubleshot for that matter) but I gather the cpu and gpu are the same but there an offical ics? not really sure, but if there is there may be potential here but I'm sure the camera has different drivers than ours and that seems to be the only thing limiting our ics roms. maybe someone could shed some more light on weather it would be useful/possible

(I'm only looking at flashing my radio since I flashed
[ROM] [07-OCT-2012] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + other tweaks)
I have already tried the APN fixes outlined in the thread and am still suffering slow data speeds.
My current flashboot output is
Juoponut Bear
DOUBLESHOT PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.45.1313
MICROP-0353
RADIO-11.16.3405.20_2

Thanks, everyone here!
Was having data issues with
[ROM] [07-OCT-2012] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + other tweaks
(250/150kbps average speeds)
My SIM card is a TM9073 model. A heard a TM9177 model SIM might solve the issue.
I solved the data problem in the meantime by flashing
[ROM]MikXE-v0.4[Custom Kernel][Sense 3.6 ICS][Tweaks/Quick Settings][updated 7/20/12]
I'm now getting 4110-5718kbps UP & 1773-2253kbps DOWN like I'm used to getting here.

I honestly suggest downgrading your hboot because if you stay on the current one you'll have to manually flash the kernel every time in fastboot... A radio to flash is up to you but you can't flash one on your hboot...so downgrade your hboot and that will make flashing 80% easier

thank you ...but how do i downgrade it

like the whole hboot thing seems really complicated in the instructions

Needing the external and ear piece speaker to be louder

I have a HTC One X Evita, had it a few weeks, had service 1 week, started with the base 1.85 (4.0.3) rom. I put the ViperXL 3.0.0 on it and now have the ElementalXL kernel on it.
That is the sum of the phone but the problem I have having is the volume for in calls and the external speaker is really really low, I have to be in a quite room just to make sure I hear the other person.
* I have manually installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711843) since it was meant for ICS
* I have tried (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771622) v21 actually, didn't change a thing
* and one other I can't remember now. all where strikeouts
What are my options for boosting the sound volume in Sense based JB roms?
I am struggling here as this is the only thing rom with this phone but it's a big one.

I have done some reading and it seems this problem may be related to the 1.85 update which as far as the original ATT rom, that is what I was on. I am not on the ViperXL though, but I wonder if I went back (unrooted) and did the OTA 2.2 ATT update if that would fix this problem.
Do you think that is worth it?

Sounds like a bad idea, is it worth going from hboot 1.09 to 1.14 on a slim chance it makes the volume louder? It's up to you but it sounds like a bad option if you ask me.

yeah, all the roms out there make is sound like hboot 1.14 is bad but this volume thing is killing me, makes the phone crippled and I can't seem to fix it.

With all the people on the same version as you I'm surprised nobody responded with any advise. I was on 1.73 never did any ota so I can't help you sorry.

maybe there is a way to get back to 1.73 and see if that fixes it, then install a custom rom after that

Try a sense ics rom again just to see. Did the speaker sound fine before you went to jb?

I think that is a horrible idea.
If you want to try the 2.20 firmware, just flash the stock unrooted version in the Development forum.

There are stock rooted versions of most every firmware version, including 1.73, in the Development subforum, if you want to try an older firmware.
I don't think going back stock and/or messing with OTA is going to do anything that just flashing a different ROM will not. Does more harm than good.

That is a good question, as its not clear. Could just be a hardware defect.

Thank you, this is a used phone from craigslist so your guess is as good as mine but the few calls I made on it before rooting and installing a custom rom, I still had the low volume.
Just seems weird as I have seem so many mods and such to increase the volume but haven't got one to work yet.
I just recovered to a backup a few days back before I tried a whole bunch of stuff so I can start from essentially scratch again in case of piling try onto try hindered any attempts.

You should run a ruu to get rid of all the crap that's on the phone.

Not a bad idea.
You can try this: http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16
I haven't used it on the One X, but used it on my old phone (Desire Z) and the volume boost was significant (although not huge). Although I'm not sure how well Volume+ works on JB. My guess is also that the mods you tried, did not work due to the fact they were intended for ICS.
Or you can try to flash a AOSP ROM with DSP Manager, which works similarly to Volume +.

Isn't that was installing a new rom is doing? I mean if I do a wipe of everything, install a new custom rom, what crap would be there.
Are you referring to the sdcard storage?

I agree, I don't see any benefit of running the RUU versus doing a full wipe (factory reset, wipe Dalvik, wipe cache) and installing a new ROM). And much more of a pain to relock, RUU, unlock, re-install TWRP, etc.

Yeah that is the latest one I tried, they have a alpha version 2.0 that I installed today that works with JB, haven't noticed a difference yet on the call volume but haven't tried out the speaker yet.

Thank you, I did try your ROM but still didn't notice any difference. I am thinking I got a lemon I guess.
I went back to a ICS and no change too. I guess I will live with it or give it a rest for now
