[Q] What is the best radio for the Inspire 4g

I was wondering what is the best radio for our Inspire 4g's? I am not sure myself, and I haven't been able to find much if the inspire 4g is cross compatible with the Desire HD besides, roms and kernels. I am wondering mainly if I can install the radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M from the desire HD forum. I am not sure if it compatible or had any side effects / negative reprecussions.

You'll find that some say that a m2 or the m3 radio give you better battery life but I think that might be a placebo effect. I have the m3 which i have no problems with but I am saying that my good battery life goes towards the CM7 build 28! The radio may have something to do with it. If it does, it's very small if any.

That is the leaked gingerbread radio? I am running Coredroid v3.2 with leedroid kernel v2.2.8. I flashed that radio just experimenting. For me I had amazing signal better then the m2 and m3, but my battery life drained away like it was cool. Not doing anything on my phone (full charge no wifi no bluetooth, just data). Cell standby used about 20% of my battery in about 3 hours. With the m2 and m3 my cell stand by is around 11% after 15 hours.

I use 26.06.04.14_M on Android Revolution 3.2 and I can't complain. Before that, I used the radio from attn1's root kit and had shotty reception. Since the upgrade, I've had full service. Don't let bars lie to you though. Check your signal strength in the "about phone" section of the settings menu. Watch the dB's - the close to 0, the better.

Going to flash 26.06.04.14_M as recommended in the revolution thread. How do you find battery life on it cblock? I'm very happy with the battery life on the stock radio that came loaded from at&t but I've dropped a few calls today which isn't normally a problem for me, hoping for a stronger signal from the new radio.
Side note, anyone know how to check what band the phone is running on, 850 or 1900?

What RADIO did you settle on and what result?

See post 1414 on this page. Hands down best radio I have used so far. I am in Florida if that really makes a difference. See pictures of GPS and Speeds. Not to mention the best rom IMHO.

Hey my bad... Forgot to check back
Battery life is fantastic, especially if you're running Gingerbread. (I'm on cm nightly 32)
Here's the radio:
http://xda.ckgaming.co.uk/db_mirror/Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.zip
All I can say is do the homework on flashing radios!

Yeah that's the Generic Gingerbread Radio. I flashed it about six hours ago. I have two Inspire's, too. One stock Radio and one with that radio. Where the Stock Radio is getting -110dbi 11asu, this new one gets -93dbi 4asu. Same location.
Not sure what asu is, though. But I do understand the db measurement.

My bad. I was looking at that thread in another tab. Trying to get the best signal I can in Atlanta.

help please....
I have an htc inspire 4g unlocked on t-mobile but sometimes the signal just desapears and comes back am wondering what radio would work better any help please...

Jeebus...guys I'm learning all this and having fun flashing new ROMS and trying to find one I can live with for more than a day
Other than my StreakDroid, I've flashed a few custom roms on my wife's captivate and now have the Inspire 4G and love it.
I keep reading ROM's that need Eng S-Off..with tutorials and guides. Then I read how dangerous it can be. I'm considering it and wasn't sure where else to ask this...but is it that risky?
Will the benefits be that much better by doing it? Can I get most custom ROMs to work with stock radio? I really want to do this, but damn, my wife's gonna kill me if I mess up another phone.

I just got my inspire today and rooted it and I'm running CM7 RC4 but flashed the radio listed in the forum but my upload speed still sucks at about 100, am I missing something

This is how I flash radios. works flawlessly. No need for eng-s off this way.

I can't get any high than 150 up, and I am running cm7 and this radio as well. I have tried 2 other radios and had same issue. I never tried a speediest after first rooting, so I have no idea if I ever got better uploads.

I am getting -83dBm in columbia SC running the same radio.

What a great phone.

Coming from Captivate, the inspire Is like the best phone I have ever used. So smooth and snappy. Everything just works, especially GPS. Even stock rom with all the att bloatware was great.
Can't explain the performance. the specs are pretty similar btw the two phones. my captivate could slow down even with the best roms.

+1 I love my Inspire so much. I'm staying strictly full original with mine. This machine is just a pure gorgeous pleasure to use. There's something to say about grabbing ahold of cold metal. It just feels significant. The same goes for the lowly HTC Freestyle, which I looked at in the store. It also is made from metal.

I too am a big fan of the phone. This was the big winner in my Atrix vs Inspire shootout. There's a thread about it.
One of my main issues was the battery life. That was a real sticking point for me on the Inspire. However, after switching to Leedroid's rom with SetCPU on the default (smartass) setting, I'm currently at 45 hours with 4 hours of awake time, and 30% of my battery left... It's ridiculous.

I'm on revolution 3.3. I wonder if set cpu works also. I'm getting full day of average use without an issue right now with stock.

I think that depends on if they used an OC kernel. LeeDroid explains explicitly that he developed several presets for SetCPU for different situations.

I had some concerns about the speaker volume also. But they've alleviated because all stock Inspires do it. It's something to do with an automatic control where the volume is initially low and then progressively gets louder as any sound remains going. I can live with it also, since I know it's a common thing and not a fault in my specific unit.
Beyond this, I would say this is the utmost flagship model for Android. There's something to be said about the cold feel of metal which these are made of. It just seems significant. I wish the other companies would get in on the metal uni-body design.

Odd, I love my Inspire, but the one problem I do have is the GPS. I can rarely get locks, regardless of radio or ROM. Have found no fix for this unfortunately

Sorry to hear! I've messed around with the GPS since I've had it and I haven't had any big issues with it. What impresses me even more is that even with GPS disabled and network location on, it shows a spot within 5-15ft from me!! Almost dead on exact without GPS on lol, I love this phone!!!!

GPS has been hit or miss on depending on rom. MIUI, shoshkai (sp?), dillagif 0.1 only (sp?), and now cognition 1.0.1. All of the others haven't worked so well in terms of GPS.

So I've had approximate 5 Captivates since last July and thinking about getting AT&T to let me switch phones since I've had so many problems.. Tech support said, and I quote "Yeah we've had a lot of problems with these phones, and I'm hoping the S2 can save face for Samsung" - NICE!
Fellow Captivate owners - Is the Inspire the one to go with over the Atrix?
From what it looks like, the pros over the Captivate are:
1. GPS works
2. LED Flash (thought I wasn't going to need this until the phone became my main camera)
The "cons"
1. Not AMOLED, but still a nice display
Anything else? Looks like you can still use custom ROM's on the Inspire..
How is stock battery life on the Inspire (without all the fancy shmancy things running (live wallpaper/facebook widgets, etc) ) ?

[Q] No signal when WiFi is enabled.

So for some reason, anytime wifi is enabled, the packet loss is much larger than what it is with any other device I have ever owned. Anytime the phone is experiencing a drop in signal or loss of packets, the phone connectivity becomes greyed out with the wifi. This leads me to believe there may be a problem with the phone's radio, since the two should not experience signal loss together, right? Any suggestions? Similar experiences? Please HELPPPPPP!
EDIT1: Also, forgot to throw this in there, but my GPS signal will disappear after 5 minutes of use. It will require a reboot to experience any kind of normal connectivity.
EDIT2: I just flashed the updated radio that is recommended for the GingerBeast ROM. (26.06.06.30_M) We will see if that helps at all...
EDIT3: Okay, works wonderfully as far as signal, but still have problems with signal when wireless is on...
EDIT4: Not sure if it makes a difference, but I am overclocking to 1.8Ghz. I have also checked my candyshell case, but I get the same problems both with and without it...

It's hard to say. I've been watching similar performance, myself, and I will say that something seems goofy, similar to what you describe. I'm starting to wonder if it might be a froyo/gingerbread radio difference, but others have had success using this radio with gb, so I don't know.
I'm using the same radio as you, with the RIL matched. It seems to act up more inside my house, surrounded by big tall trees, which is understandable, but still.
Even though you're using the recommended radio for the ROM, have you tried making absolutely sure the RIL is matched?
Since it's the recommended radio, chances are good that the RIL packaged with the ROM is already the correct one, but it never hurts to double check your RIL version and update if necessary.

What is the RIL?

Thats a full signal.

Ginger Beast is not a sense rom. And is using the recommended radio, so according to that post, there it's no need for me to worry about RIL.
It isn't a full signal. It is a greyed out signal...

You're absolutely correct. That's what I get for having run a sense-based ROM for so long.
EDIT:
Well, now I'm not so sure. Even though the RIL thread I linked does state "not for sense roms," as you pointed out, I was just over in dilli's thread for gingerbeast, the ROM you're running, and dilli himself posted some instructions to somebody about flashing a radio. In that post he says, in so many words, "this already has the correct ril," which left me with the impression RILs DO matter for AOSP roms.
I'd actually like to get clarification on this, myself, but you may want to head over to that thread and ask, if your curious, unless he happens to stop back in this thread, maybe he'll answer here.

Well upon further testing, it seems the signal cuts out when the wifi is weak. Is this what you are experiencing as well?

I experienced the same thing on CoreDroid. If my wifi connection is weak enough that it's not transferring data, ti will force my whole data connection to fail.

Does core droid use the cm7 kernel?

Not quite. I actually don't know what I'm experiencing.
My situation isn't quite as discernible as yours. More of a general "something ain't right but I can't put my finger on it" type of thing.
Which makes me think it's more ATT than anything else, for my situation, but once you start flashing roms/radios, it's harder to blame ATT and be completely confident doing so.
Sorry about being so vague and not being of much assistance to you.

Nope. Ver 6.7 uses MDJ's kernel and 6.8 is slated to use LeeDroid kernel.

Blows my theory...

I'm by no means saying that what's described in the op doesn't happen, but I don't want anyone confused. The s
ignal in the op is 100% full bars. Sometimes when you switch from wifi to cell data, there's a delay of the os knowing if your signed into a Google account or not. If someones wasn't signed into a Google account, that's exactly what their signal bars would look like when they were full. (They would never turn green). Its a light gray, its very easy to tell when the signal drops, its almost a black on black.
When the signal bars are that color gray that doesn't mean there is no service, they will be the same color as if your not signed into Google, and will eventually go back to green.
As the signal drops, the bars that representing a lost signal are very dark almost black gray.
Ill post the framework images and you can better understand what I'm saying.
Tldr-
If your signal bars are the same color as the pic in the op, you have service- if they look exactly like the op, you have full service.
There's nothing wrong with the signal in that picture, its perfectly normal and the phone still has a full service
If he had no service, the bars would be the same color as the top 3 wifi bars.
Op- basically if your thinking that there's a problem with the pic you posted there's not, perfectly fine.

So basically you are saying the color would mean that I am not signed into google? Weird since I am... What would that mean then?

Yes, you are signed in and your wifi/signal bars should normally be green. There's 2 completely different sets of service/wifi bars. One set is exactly as you posted in the pic(not signed in), the other is green. When your signed in and switch to wifi, when your cell data disconnects and wifi comes up , it first loads the grey set of images, then the os realizes your signed into a Google account and the green images are loaded.
Usually they should turn back to green pretty fast(less than a min), but sometimes it takes a little or even just stays gray -and turns back green when wifi is switched back off or whatever.
its not really a rom specific bug, I remember my captivate doing the EXACT same thing on gingerbread.
I was messing with it last night-- toggle wifi on- bars turn from green to grey. They turned back green in about 20 seconds. I know Ive had it before where they stayed grey for a while, but they did eventually go back green.

I have a similar issue as well. But mine is I have no service when the phone is plugged into the charging cord. Whether it be the computer usb port or the charging brick. Seems like I lose a bar or two when it's on charge.

How many people are running 2 2 1 with EP1Q radio

I'm running gummy 2.0 with the EP1Q radio. No problems whatsoever.
The rom is independent from the modem from what I understand and I have been getting better service with this radio.

I just downloaded the EPQ1 radios yesterday as i was having some troubles with the 4g dropping and have had great signal so far. I will keep an eye on it and report back in a week. Of the phone calls I've made today, all were crystal clear and good volume so fingers are crossed that my problems are solved.

For me, there wasn't much of a difference

It was better at holding the 4g signal but nothing else has been too noticeable. Still better then ee4, that **** switches between 3g/4g every 10 minutes.

I have never hit speeds like this on EE4, ever. Not to mention 4G is more consistent with much less searching

well my issue is that i've been experiencing data drop out like crazy sometimes and ive read of other people experiencing the same issue. i think i'll just reflash the EP1Q radio and see if that helps

For me, EP1Q modem has less data dropouts (4G->3G-1X) for me. Also, if it changes, the transition is fast.

I can also vouch for EP1Q, the data stream is definitely more stable in general, though I haven't really noticed any considerable speed improvements.

I only had the signal totally drop out on me once on EP1Q this past weekend but it quickly came back. Then again, they have said that they sent one of those roving techs to check my area and they have admitted my area needs a tower but they need to get approval from the higher-ups to install one.
Apparently Verizon has been doing a lot of work in my area according to some press release in which they are expanding 4G coverage in my area. They say that by Sept. 15th I should be seeing 4G in more places across my city. All I can say is that I'm happy to see that.
Oh, and I'm glad I have unlimited data since I've noticed that doing any kind of streaming anything, especially NetFlix can eat through data like nothing I've ever seen. That and Slacker Radio can cause you to eat data.

Yeah the GB modems just didn't play well with the speedtest app itself.
However, going to the speakeasy speedtest site via your browser produces accurate results.

I thought about it, but my system runs perfectly and after looking at what 2.0 gives you I don't really see anything I care about.
I could care less about 7 different lock screens, I did the tweak to totally eliminate the lock screen. I tried the imoseon kernel briefly, but I kinda prefer the more saturated colors and ended up swapping back.
I think over clocking is a waste of time after trying it for a while, so unless I am missing something I don't really see what I would gain from the 2.0 swap although I am certainly open to suggestions??

I'm not sure how it could be any more stable than my system. Mine runs weeks at a time without a single freezeup or reboot if I want.
When you say it is "more polished", are you just talking about visual tweaks??
I must have changed ROMs 50 times when I had a TouchPro 2 and every time it was a noticeable improvement so I'm not opposed to switching for a good reason. My system now runs so well however, I don't really see any compelling reason to update just because a new version is out.

While there is no need to convince you as people can choose to run whatever version of whatever rom they want, I find it curious that you would choose to not update. It seems to me that the type of people that generally visit these forums and mess with their devices are the same type of people that generally want things when they are updated.

*updated dialer completely remade to have the contacts built into the app
The updated kernel provides additional stability fixes and fluidity to the UI.
TSM parts is a very handy tool to have.
the update to the base theme gives the phone a more professional feel to it. (i.e. polish) the dialer is vastly better than the pervious.
Again, if you choose not to update, so be it. I could not care less one way or the other. You seem like an intelligent person, so you would know best what works for you.
To get this thread back on topic....
I am running the ep1q radios but as I mentioned earlier, I cant seem to find how to determine what version you are actually running. My Baseband version did not change when i updated the radios. I would like to say I am getting better performance.. but its hard to know if its the radios, or something else.
Any chance that one of you knows how to determine the radio that is installed?

While there is no need to convince you as people can choose to run whatever version of whatever rom they want, I find it curious that you would choose to not update. It seems to me that the type of people that generally visit these forums and mess with their devices are the same type of people that generally want things when they are updated

Actually, I'm usually as you say the kind of person that immediately updates everything as soon as possible. My system runs so well however, I just wasn't sure it was worth going through the PITA of setting up the whole system again.
Now, after reading your post however I may have to rethink that. If the system really will run better/more efficiently etc. I guess you have me getting the itch to update again.... ;-)
It seems like I have been working a million hours a week lately (I'm an IT Administrator among other things) but if/when I ever get some spare time I guess I will just get to it and update."....

WiFi tether problems? Fixed mine like this.

I am on 3.1 beta 6
Mine did not work until I changed the device profile to Thunderbolt in settings.
Then I changed a few other settings such as
Force WiFi driver reloading (check) *has worked for some*
Routing fix (check) *most important one*
Disable wake-lock (unchecked) -> *this is why you lose connection after your screen turns off*
Hope this helps get a few of you tethering again. I am using jdk new source sense based 1.0 kernel but have tested this on Imo 3.8, 4.1 and 5.0 and worked just fine.
4g was blazing fast to my Droid inc tethered to my Thunderbolt without the 4g power drain.

I've never understood that setting and it's default like that. Even Cyanogen copied it.... Why do you have to keep 'using' your phone in order to keep the screen on so that WiFi doesn't shutdown ? Android can multi-task, can it not ?
If there is active usage on WiFi, it should NOT shut off. But it will...

I was told there isn't a way or app to tether w/o getting charged by Verizon anymore.
I'm on stock, but I'm rooted. Is it possible? Best apps? Thank you.

I just use default CM7 by ProTekk (Find it under "Unofficial Cyanogen Builds" with Rom Manager). The built in tethering (Both USB & WiFi) works like a charm for me without having to utilize 3rd party apps.

Thanks for the post! Picked up a Thunderbolt recently and spent the last couple days trying to get android-wifi-tether to work. The last piece of the puzzle for me was checking "Routing fix" per your suggestion.

thanks for this thread,I just picked up a thunderbolt also, got tired of my iPhone 4 .. I have been trying to tether for the last day, going to try this out now.

Anyone else having speed issues in AP mode? Ad-hoc works well but in AP it is painfully slow (sub-3g speeds). I've tried every combination of settings in wifi tether and no luck..

Can't figure out the problem yet, but i can't get 4g tether speeds (or connectivity half the time) from any 605.5 based rom. Yes i checked for tetherguard.apk to make sure that wasn't my issue. Even the newest AOSP roms (which i know aren't based on that) won't let me get a good connection. I have since reverted back to a 605.3 and 605.0 based and are not having problems. I also tried multiple combos of roms/radios too to see if i could narrow it down and haven't found anything significant. Its possible its just my phone being screwy as i haven't had any of the reboot issues to its about time for some problem! Its working for me now, but if anyone finds out anything about it, let me know, i wouldn't mind testing it.

ROM - Bamf forever 1.9
WiFi tether here http://db.tt/nZTglF9n with settings listed above new
imo kernel 5.0 from GB source. Use the settings above for reference to how to get it working. Here is a snap shot of my daughter Droid incredible running off my 4G x 3 test. Along with my thunderbolt getting similar speeds.

Yea, thats what i used to get with all, but can't seem to with the newest sense or AOSP roms/kernels and newest radios but can fine with older roms/kernels/radios. Same settings. I'm just lost at what else to try. Like i said, quite possible its my bolt hating me.

I would just move back I don't like sense 3.5 on this phone. Sense 3.0 work just fine with everything I want working. Sense 3.5 is fun to try but it is not made for this phone. To much stuff needs to be tweaked for it to function with all the extras we have gotten use to. It's kinda like Droid incredible running sense 3.0 it was slow and sense 3.5 is even slower on that phone. I will stick with Bamf forever since its a smooth ROM and everything i need works on this ROM. Battery life is same as stock if not a little better I can get 10 hours of constant use with WiFi or 3g but anything more is pushing it. Bamf makes great roms but i don't see 3.5 as a daily driver for me. Maybe once rezound launches we will get something that works better with our phones well my phone. 3.5 had that worse battery and most laggy of any roms I have tried and did everything i could think of to tweak it. I tried all 3 roms out at this point, Son of a bliss, invigorated, and gingerbliss

Yeah, i moved back prior to posting. Weird things i have notices are prior to 605.5 the settings you had worked, as thats what i've been using. I went to a stock 605.5 and to killsense and neither of those worked with those settings. So i started messing around with settings and found that the reload wifi drivers unchecked alleviated my problems. Wifi tethered, laptop was ranging from .4 - .6 down, now is back to the old 17-28 down. So if its not working for someone else, toggle settings till it does work.

thanks, bud! it works great for me.

Worked as stated...thanks!

Thanks for all your work on this. Is this app written by you?
Is there any version of this app in the Marketplace?
Do you know the original source of this app?
You may pm if it is a secret. It looks fantastic but I don't like putting something on my phone if I have no idea what its source is. I know too little about code from unknown sources to "trust it". I've never really seen any app or rom discussed in which the developer's ID (or at least internet ID) was a secret.

I answered this for you over at rootzwiki
