Signal - HTC Inspire 4G

I have flashed a lot of Roms successfully, ever since I got the inspire (over a year ago). Sure in the early stages of learning the device I had some boot loops, flashes that didn't take, or just random items.
However, as time has past I have noticed a problem when it comes to signal.
When I flash a Rom I always use the recommended radio, and ril combo that is suggested, however, I flash all available radios for our device, to make sure I have the right one for my area. (Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana)
I have a device that doesn't like overclocking, past 1.2 normally, no matter the Rom or kernal.
So I keep the device a hair over 1G, for stability.
Now to my question.
When I flash GB with sense 2.1, I get the best signal, and GPS lock of any build.
When I flash GB with sense 3.0, the signal drops some, but still ok.
When I flash GB with sense 3.5, the signal goes away. (I know some Roms have a glitch in the display) however I totally lose signal, where I had full service with the above.
My question is? Is there a way to pull the radio set up from GB 2.1 and align it with GB 3.0, GB 3.5 or even ICS?
Or is this based off the RUU that the Rom is based off of?
The Rom that gives me the best radio and GPS is Rumrunner 4.0, and the worst is any sensation port.
I have found a lot of stable, clean, and fast Roms that I like, however, I always have to return to a GB 2.1 Rom, because of signal issues.
Any insight on this would be awesome!!

What are you using to measure signal strength? If you are counting bars, each rom calculates them slightly different, only creating the illusion of different strength levels. Changing radios and rils often also isnt going to help you gain much. ive never seen a signal strength different between roms but i also have mine set to show -dbm so i know actual signal. Me personally, im using my gb ota radio as its given me the best signal retention out of the ones ive tried.
By the way, recommended radio ril that rom devs suggest is simply what they use on their device. They state this because this is the combination they know for 100% that it works. You are free to use whatever radio you want. and with sense roms flash the respective ril. aosp/aokp roms, do not flash ril (it will cause modem to not work until a reflash)

GPS on ATT stock better then any custom rom?

When I had the ATT stock I got the lock in seconds. After flashing and putting different ROM its like 5-10 min.
Is there a difference in the gps.conf or anything else?

The one I am on (Android Revolution 5.1.8) and GingerBeast (2.1.2) I had before this, I generally got lock in seconds, and with an accuracy of 5-10m.
I would say the GPS on sense based roms with the correct gps.conf file works just as good as the stock rom.
Right now I'm using Android Revolution 5.1.9 and I get almost instant lock (about 5 secs) and 5~7m error.
Radio and RIL also play a very large part in it as well, I have had great luck leaving the gps.conf file as is and just flashing the updated stock radio/RIL combo. Locks in seconds unless obstructed.
This also includes CM7 Nightlies after 57ish.

Running Leedroid and getting lock in seconds down to 10 foot accuracy! Best I've had in any configuration. Running latest stock radio.
Running leedroid and my GPS is rock sold. While driving @70mph I get 10/10 in less then 10 seconds. New radio and ril.

Works fine for me on cm 7. I don't turn it off and on. With gingerbread its really not necessary in aosp type roms it only activates when needed the power drain is minimal.
funny, i just flashed back to the stock rooted rom with sideloading (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042) because I've realized I had ZERO dropped calls or connection issues on the stock rom. i was using ar4g 3.7 anyways because I found it to be the most stable and quite quick. wish it had a custom kernel.
back to the point, I had issues getting GPS working on that too, even with matching ril and radio. hopefully I won't have any more issues with this rom
For myself, it was much better when I was on stock rom, but since I love testing out new roms, I've learned to live with it... At least it'll still work most of the time.

I think stock GPS SUCKSSSSS!
Dang I was just playing with this guz I'm kinda a GPS freak, and this Inspire, if one thing sucks, it's the GPS. Forver to get locks, and closest accuracy radius ever achieved is 7 meters....any suggestions? GPSFix, GPS Essentials doesn't seem to help. Ugh...guz me likes me my accurate GPS on my phone thingy....I was hoping that when I root it would improve but this feature probably doesn't get a whole lot of attention form the devs (?)
Edit: It is marginally better than the aged iPhone 3G I had, but I took it apart when it almost dead (I kilt it off by some wild ass idea I was going to refurb it) and there were signs of oxidation around the GPS antenna, which makes sense because my perception was that the performance degraded over time.

Best radio for Inspire?

I just came from the HD2 so I'm new to the inspire. I've searched through all the threads to try and find if there's an overall best radio for the inspire, but there doesn't seem to be any definitive answer. Are most of the radios rom specific, or is there one that's best for all of them?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Radio performance varies with each individual location and phone. You really need to test that for yourself. The recommended radio for each rom is the one the developer tested for their specific rom. You may find that another radio and ril work better for your situation.
Cool thanks. The HD2 had one radio that was the best across all roms, so I was hoping the inspire was the same. Guess it's time to flash happy. Thanks again.

12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M or 12.54.60.25x_26.09.04.11_M2 seem to the main two radios that people are using on the Inspire for the most part. These are the main two radios that most roms recommend. I have used them both and they are both good. They both have ups and downs so I go back and forth some. Just make sure to flash the matching RIL with it.
So after doing some research into this more, I found that after the rooting process, alot of users HSUPA becomes broken if you dont skip the last step where it flashes the stock radio back after the downgraded one. Also, flashing any other radios than the stock one can also cause you to lose HSUPA. I verified this on my own phone after using Bubby's one click, and was getting less than .5 Mbps up and down. After reflashing the stock ROM and radio, restoring my previous ROM, and flashing the matched RIL, I now consistently get over 5 Mbps up and down. Any of you guys noticed this or know about it?

I didn't have this problem. I just used the ace hack kit and then flashed the radio and Ril I wanted. I get around 5.5 down and around 1.2 up during non-peak times.

Greetings!!!

Been lurking here for a few weeks, reading, studying, learning, and my eyes are still red...
I just wanted to share my experience so far and get some feedback.
Rooting
I followed the 1 click Ace Hack Kit to the letter, still had an issue where my phone wouldn't boot, screen was on but black, and had to re-install stock from the Ace Kit to correct it. Phone Rooted
Custom Rom
Reviewed all the Inspire Roms and decided on the Revolution HD 6.1.3
Again following everything to the letter, I couldn't get SuperWipe to run, it would abort, but did the full manual wipe (wipe data/factory reset - dalvik cache) in the the boot loader as in the sticky guide for flashing roms, radio's, etc. Was able to install 6.1.3
Q: Is there really any difference between doing it manually and running the SuperWipe Script?
Radio's - Read the Radio Sticky numerous times. Shoot, so far the recommended radio for HD is kicking but however, still have a fundemental question.
Q. I get that it's a gamble, but what sets these radio's apart from what AT&T gives on their stock phone?
I read in the radio sticky they are sort of area specific or vary by location. May or may not be good, try it... I don't get that because I could buy a Inspire in CA, use it in FL, and the stock radio doesn't change. I get that these coders and developers are freaking awesome and above my head, but intrigued none the less.
Doesn't it really come down to tower coverage? Still putting the radio puzzle together after much reading.
Anyway, I wanted to post a BIG THANKS in the Revolution HD Thread but can't as of yet.
I really like the 6.1.3 ROM so far. Some here may hate Sense, but I like the eye candy.
XDA is cool site and still have a lot to learn.
Hey, at least my first post wasn't "How do I boot loop my new phone?"
I'll see you around
Some will say the radio is region specific. I and others find no evidence of that. The Dev will recommend the radio for the matched ROM you choose. That should be your best bet.
Welcome!
I actually don't know if superwipe does anything special or just takes the hassle out of wiping partitions and FDR and cache. in my experience it doesn't make a difference which I do as long as I do one or the other, or both.
As for radios, there are different settings in the build.prop I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that's set by each version of each radio (and other settings in more places?) but basically it boils down to different settings causing the phone to interact with the network differently. I never had luck with any of the recommended revolution radios so I would always stick to an inspire OTA or update radio and flash the corresponding RIL (radio interface layer, must match the radio you install).
come to think of it now, it might be the RIL that sets the build prop and other settings. now i'm just confused...
The build prop will remain the same regardless of what RIL or radio you use. The devs tweak settings in the build prop to try and squeeze a little more bandwidth but honestly I have never seen a definite increase in speeds by changing these settings. When the inspire was released it did not have the necassary settings to run 4g. They released a radio and new build prop with an update that enabled 4g. People on 3g would not have seen a difference even to this day. This all took place in the froyo days. The build prop has several settings for many aspects of the phone. The build prop only changes when edited by you or the dev.
It's always good to use recommended radios as that will match the RIL in your phone. I have read that new RIL's are backwards compatible as long as you are using a froyo radio on froyo and a gingerbread radio on gingerbread. The only official gingerbread radio released for the inspire is 26.10.04.03 which goes with RIL 2.2.0160. So in my exeperience as long as the RIL is this or higher you might as well just use the official radio. The one recommended for arhd is 26.13.04.19 which is what matches 2.2.0179 but 26.10.04.03 will also work since the RIL is newer than the radio. But if you used 26.13.04.19 on an older RIL like 2.2.0160 you may encounter problems.
As always though, do not report bugs or make any judgements on performance, unless you are using the recommended radio and have not changed the RIL.

I travel alot and can tell you that it really can depend on where you are. One radio and ril works great in alaska but if I go to the lower 48 I normally have to swap them for a different set to get better signal.

Technically as there is only 1 official radio/ril for ATT gingerbread I would be curious to what you use and where. I know you have mentioned radios being location dependant but I can't recall you ever saying what you use.

[Q] Help picking a ROM

I'm looking for a good custom Rom for my htc sensation . I have root access via revolutionary and can flash using clockworkmod recovery.
I tried Revolution HD but only got error messages.
I ned a custom rom that will
1st be smooth and stable with all features working
2nd Improve battery life
3rd Improve overall performance
I Don't need to have a rom with Sense, but would like to keep the ability to see new messages on the lock screen. None of the other lock screen features are that important to me . I also like having the ability to link contacts to facebook contacts. These are the only sense features I need to keep so if they are available on a non sense rom I'd be open to try it.
All suggestions are helpful and welcome.
Thank you
It is very subjective and all ROMs will meet what you ask for compared to stock...
really you need to do your research..all ROMs are here in each thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112
I use ARHD and am very happy with it but its up to you...Gingerbread...beta ICS...custom.
I suggest try a few - once you have changed a few times process becomes painless. Also titanium backup (for apps only) helps - but keep a nandroid backup of your current rooted ROM so u can always get back to where you are now.
Really its research research on XDA and trail an error....
I have tried all these Roms on XDA for the sensation that have been released in the last 4 or 5 months.
I have to say the Energy Rom sounds like what your looking for. NRGZ28 is not running ICS on his latest release, I believe because there's to many issues
NRGZ28's Energy is always my main Rom because of the stability.

Had my sensation xe for a couple of wks now and had tried out a few roms, so far I like ELEGANCIA GB rom the best, it's stable, everything is working, and their skins team is amazing, looks darn good. Battery life is dependent on too many factors (usage, radio, kernels, etc).

Now I'm confused about which radio firmware to use. I have a z710 model which works with att 3 and 4 g bands while remaining on an unlimited non smartphone plan. Would changing radio firmware effect this in any way? Since each rom comes with a radio wouldn't this be a determining factor?

Your radio will just adjust how well you communicate with the towers. It is just the hardware broadcasting interface as well as the RILs (Radio Interface Layer) which tells your phone how to communicate from the hardware to the radio.
So it will not affect your plan at all.

[Q] Why is Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 the only ICS that mobile data works on for me?

Please help if I am missing something. I am s-off wire trick. I believe I have the most recent radio. 11.59.3504.00P_11.16.3504.20_2.
I can flash the 3.0.53v8 or v9 kernels over this rom and most everything works but wifi so I am sticking with the 3.0.16virt kernel that is available with this rom. But I cannot flash any other of the CM9 or CM10 roms and get data. I have flashed them multiple times, tooled around with the vpn's got a new sim card, got a new phone (warranty), spent too much time with customer service at TMobile. Still, no dice. I am pretty happy with this ROM aside from not having DSP Manager or the ability to add it. Is it because there are still some elements of sense there like the camera? I thought it was a APN input issue but I have dialed in the same APN's as Inquisition for any other CM9 or 10 roms and nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is no help to your situation, but I've run all the available ICS and JB roms that are for the MT4GS and I have mobile data and wifi on all of them. There have been some issues where data drops occasionally, but it will reconnect in a matter of seconds. With the later kernels like r8 and r9 I had no dropouts.
I believe that Sense-based ROMS require a kernel that is built for Sense, so using a CM-based kernel (like r8 or r9) would definitely cause problems. Likewise, using a Sense-based kernel on a CM ROM would be unwise.
If you like Sense based ROMs, have you tried either the Bliss ROM from sun_dream (the XE 3.32 version, not the 3.33) or the MikXE ROM? Of the ICS Sense ROMs, I found them to be the most stable and battery-friendly right out of the box. For a CM/AOKP, the AOKP JB Milestone 1 is very stable and functional, and gets you Jelly Bean... even Google Now works well on it. CM9.1r9 is a great, very stable release, as well.
Just make sure you're doing a very thorough wipe before flashing any new ROM. Even go to Mounts and format the /system, /data, and /cache manually wouldn't hurt.
Thanks

So, I did the full wipe and flashed the newest cm nightly on my phone. No data. Did it again, full reformat et all. No data.Flashed the v9 kernel on top with no wipe. DATA! Thanks. I must have to flash things a few times for them to take. This wasn't a problem with the roms that had some "sense" to them. Weird. I've done the reformating before when I was s-on and never noticed any effect. Now I'm gonna try the CM10 you recommended. I like this phone a lot. The market is based around people buying new phones once a year at least. It's crazy. It's not fair that you can purchase a phone that 6 months latter has a totally obsolete Rom. I am so glad you responded. This makes my life a lot easier. Thanks!

It almost sounds like you're S-ON or still locked. Could you be S-OFF but Locked? You could always fastboot flash the kernel after you flash the ROM just to be sure, but if doing what you just did got the data working for you, then I wouldn't mess with it. If you do want the Jelly Bean without too many issues, I would go with the AOKP JB Milestone 1. The Paranoid Android JB ROM is also very nice, but it does require a little bit more tinkering.

When you say cm10 rom, do you mean the AOKP JB Milestone 1? When I was running it I didn't have any issues with MMS, but I use Handcent SMS as my messaging client, not the built-in client. I also use T-Mobile and the standard T-Mobile APNs worked fine. I do see that some people are having issues with the r9 kernel, maybe if you flash the r7b kernel (standard, not experimental) it will be more stable. That seems to be the kernel some people find is the best combo of performance and stability.
Yes

Sorry I should have specified. I am in the middle of My CCNA2 and Comptia+ hardware exams this week and I was writing from my phone. AOKP Milestone 1, yes. I think it is the best CM10 I have flashed for MT4gs yet. Just a bit of a battery drainer and I've got an Anker. I tried hand scent this morning. Tweeked the APN's and now know way too much about the ins and outs of this phone not to just learn to become a developer
I got the rom to send MMS but not receive without it being marked as a download. So, coupled with that and the battery drain, I decided to go straight for the r9 kernel and it's rom. Supercharged and ultimate jar patched it. Pimp my rom'd it. And it runs very well, sends and receives mms fine. My issues seem to stem from a combination of problems. Yes doing a complete wipe and manual formats and flashing the specific rom and kernel helped ingrain the rom I believe. But the main culprit is those darn APN's. I finally found alternate APN's and after going through them all in every combination, turning on and off my wifi to check the mobile data latency in terms of how long it took to come on, I have discovered that a T-Mobile Data APN named wap.voicestream.com with the mmsc set to the /mms/wapenc, the MCC:310, MNC:260, and APN protocol of IPv4, with everything else not set of unspecified, allows my phone to come and go between wifi and mobile data with no latency, just like the sense based roms did. So far no drops, but have been bunkered down studying and doing last minute work. When I leave the house in a minute I am gonna be driving around for about an hour to and from where I am going playing spotify, so that should be some kind of test. I also tried internet2.voicestream.com but it was not as consistent of a mobile data signal. They are trying their best to control all bandwidth and software so we can spend a fortune upgrading our services and buying 3 phones a year just to have a proper interface. Most phones are going to only one LTE radio soon as opposed to one that will do data and one that will do voice, effectively making the devices less expensive for them to manufacture, but not for us to buy! Hopefully there will be enough of a niche market to have qwerty hard keyboard devices that are decent released periodically.
Has gone from a well intentioned but flawed technology to a stable streaming around this corner of my city. No drops. And spotify kind of sucks in comparison to other streaming services in terms of quality and performance. I don't wanna get too excited though, ill have to wait a month until I begin to have confidence again that ill have consistent data.

What city? Are you on a T-Mobile account? I'm in Atlanta and T-Mobile data is pretty good here, and I use the standard APNs (epc.tmobile.com). I also used my phone while in China, bought a China Unicom SIM and had excellent data using their system as they use the 2100MHz frequency for HSPA+.

Its solid around here but streaming high quality in a 40 mile radius could still be spoty with the meh quality of spotify, probably a load on their servers at rush hour, coupled with the fact that I've been so use to data drops. I'm telling you, the apn fixed my problem. It seems to be a known issue on these threads. Massive data drops. There needs to be a thread compiling alternate apns for people that have that issue with cm 9 and up. Double flash, full wipes, apn config. I'm on the cm 10 unofficial now with its standard kernel. Seems solid. Better battery life for my phone. Every time I flash a kernel I get intermittent data until I change to that apn above. Like zero to occasional. But now my data is tough as nails.

no wifi!
hey guys im s-on unlocked n currently running [ROM] [01-DEC-2012][r9] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + usb trans speed fix + other tweaks right now and not getting any wifi. i am coming from the only rom that would give me wifi (virtuous inquisition) but that rom got too heavy too fast n was done on my phone. so i switched between a few other ics roms and none of them r giving me wifi.
i dont want to go back to virtuous inquisition but i need wifi. my setting just wont slide over. any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
Have you tried "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ? Using one of the boot.img files from the CM9.1 ROM you're running? It's a necessity when changing ROMs with S-On.
The big issue with no wifi as I've experienced s-on or s-off is that the rom is not sticking. If you are s-on do not try to switch out different kernels, just flash the whole rom. Also, id try the v8 version of that rom because it seems more stable. Go into your recovery, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe delvic cache, go into mount/format and format cache, data, and system, flash rom zip, flash gapps, fastboot boot.img, then let the phone reboot and don't touch it for at least ten minutes, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, data, and delvik cache again, flash rom, fastboot boot.img, and wait again another ten minutes or so while itg reboots. Don't touch it even if the droid comes up and asks you for what language. It is still loading. This is the usual issue regarding roms not sticking. Multiple flash of the same rom over itself and not touching for ten minutes or so after flashing. If you don't know how to fastboot boot.img get hasoon 2000's mt4g all in one program. It'll instruct you to remove the boot.img from the rom and place it into one of the folders in the program and will fastboot the boot.img for you. And btw, the wire trick is real easy. I didn't do it for a year but when I did I was suprised at how easy it was. Makes flashing roms less of a headache.

When flashing a ROM with S-On it isn't actually the ROM not sticking (although that may happen in certain circumstances) but it is that With S-On (security on) the kernel doesn't get installed at all thru CWM. You HAVE to flash that independantly & seperately & LAST And ALWAYS this way thru ADB with S-On. There IS no other way. (Save perhaps pushing that to the right partition thru terminal but that is another discussion altogether).
Yeah, what he said. And if your not savy with adb get hasoon 2000s all in one and it'll do it for you.
