Trying to track down if the GPS issues i'm having can be coded around without access to the radio code. Any radio after 11.69B on Sensation with seemingly any ROM has bad accuracy issues when using fine GPS while in motion. So RunKeeper , an app that keeps track of your running and distance/speed etc is effectively broken due to this... and altho 11.69A works, it has some other bugs with the latest ROMs so it is annoying me. It's possible there's no controlling things and it needs to be fixed in the radio, thats where i'm looking for some help. I did forward this to RunKeepers developers but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'm sure this impacts other Apps.
The accuracy bounces around enough that when running a straight line down a road, it will bounce to different sides of the street so the app thinks youve run across the street dozens of times while running and it adds up as an additional 1/4 mile of running and throws off all the distance/speed calculations the app does. Previously for years it tracked the straight line you ran and was mostly accurate...
Anyways, thanks!
wrong form section, try to look a bit better next time this is for q&a. U could delete the radio file from the pdg or something. then install 11.69A and then reinstll fw without the radio in the package

You do realize that it is a development section. You suppose to post this in general section.
\Regards,
It does this with 3.32 and 3.33 and all radios newer than 11.69A .. and 11.69A is buggy with new ROMs. Read what I wrote. I asked in Q&A. Try trying to help instead of jumping on someone with pure enjoyment.
I have no trouble changing ROMs, using ADB or even coding Java, but I realize you have the monopoly on development skill and knowledge .. so I thought maybe you had the skill to help me.

i dont understand it completly i think, u want a scertain radio, get the fw for that radio, flash it via fastboot, then get the newer needed fw and only remove the radio file, it should work idk what u mean.. worked for me with hboot
You don't get it. I flashed all the different radios via fastboot already. Latest one that has proper working GPS is 11.69A , which has other bugs in latest ARHD and CM9. GPS works on the others but active/fine GPS is broken and inaccurate. For basic geolocation it would be fine, but for tracking movement and rate of speed etc it's completely broken. It might be hardcoded radio bugs but i'm trying to figure out if perhaps theres something else that can be changed.
So don't just assume that the new guy posting is completely clueless because i'm far from it.

I didn't ever say that u are the new guy that doesnt know ****, but radio 11.29A works in fw 3.33 to so just flash the radio and your problem is over as far as i know..
I did, problem still happened even with 11.69A , just not as badly. It really seems like a non-radio issue at this point. I haven't wiped EFS yet, Trying to find efs wipe tool for sensation, last one i used was for g2 and i dont know if it resides in the same place on sensation

Ohh really..
You know..being an RC iam extremely cautious when I recommend something.. At least I double check it.. Before I post it
Fyi.. That method used to be one of the gps fix solution.. In faq section of arhd thread..
And I must have did that.. Around 5-6 times now.. When I changed the rom
Also I was sooooo cautious first time that I literally dumped those partitions and checked them myself..
So now i believe that you will understand that the efs is at the same partitions
And I suggest you to edit that post of yours.. It will create unnecessary panic to people

The answer to your question is: I like turtles. (credit goes to id10terrordfw for that one)
But seriously, the reason I said "I like turtles" is because sometimes that question has no clear answer. If you're not having any issues using the stock radio, then there is no reason to change it. Some developers recommend a particular radio because it has worked for great for them and has been trouble-free in hundreds of hours of their testing. But that doesn't necessarily mean other radios won't work just fine. One thing to keep in mind is many Inspire ROMs are ports from Desire HD ROMs, so a lot of these ROMs will recommend a radio that came out on the DHD, because the developer actually owns that phone and that's the radio he uses. Usually, for any ROM that recommends the latest Desire HD radio version, the latest Inspire radio version will work just fine also. So any ROM that recommends version 09.04.11, version 06.06.30 on the Inspire should work just as good in most, if not all, situations.

The problem there, Henry, is that timeless concept of... The grass is always greener...
That other radio *might* give me 6 out of 5 bars signal strength where I had -1 before, not to mention 10 gazillion kb/s down, and 5 gazillion kb/s up.

Ha ha, that is true. I'm the same way. Myself, I've tried every damn radio/RIL out there multiple times. From a previous "gotta flash a radio per day" addict like me, my story to lee_ was to try to keep someone from going down that same path. If someone starts going down that slippery slope, I tried to warn them.
yea im just going to use the one on the other post with the radios. i was wondering the same thing what the recommended radio did better but answer has already been posted guess i will just try all radio and see which one fits my needs(speeds) lol
i too had many issues flashing a radio to my phone and i use a mac. its easy if u have eng off but i didn't want to do that. i finally downloaded the radio from that link so it was already pkged and all i had to do was to put it on the root of my sd and it worked perfectly
I am having trouble finding a radio that works with this ROM.
The main problem I am having with the radios that I have tried is:
Weak WiFi signal and GPS not connecting fast enough or not connecting at all.
So could someone please recommend to me a radio that they have working well with this ROM.
Thanks.

What radio are you running currently?
What RIL are you using?
Have you tried "double-flashing" the radio/ril?
Have you rebooted at least twice after radio-related changes?

I've been having this same problem aswell, I have yet to figure it out, and I don't think anyone here knows the solution. I start to wonder if HTC has more than one wifi antenna going around. Or maybe something is just wrong with ours.
The only thing though is, it only does this with AOSP roms, sense roms are just fine. I say give one a shot.

Dont know why so many are having problems with radio's.. I have flashed all nightlies with no changes to radios or ril and everything works great....just have always done a clean install and all is good...........

Me neither. Seems like someone's always having some sort of problem. I have the feeling the common denominator may be your last sentence.... Clean install.
I think a lot of people are looking for some magical power to give them super ultra lightning fast data speeds and 1/2 second gps lock times with 1/2 meter accuracy. Or something.

Me niether, in the begenning i was afraid of bricking so i never flashed any radio and used the same radio that ace hack kit installs.. lol now i just updated to 4/29 update of att and all is well..

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!

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..
hi and welcome to another round of neebish questions of the day...
i flashed new radio from stock to version 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M and started reading a bit after, after a while i became aware that changing the radio could affect battery life and also it could be wrong in terms of where i live in the world, ive had it on my phone for several hours, and it seems to be working well, but im just a noob..... how can i know
i was basicly wondering if anyone of u who actually know this stuff could confirm that i didnt do anything stupid ? im putting in the link to where i found the radio files (its posted in the comments on the page by rataplan626, its not the same radio as the one that originally was posted in the thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312144&page=5
thank you for great answers and for being patient with those of us that are new to all of the difficult terms and choices connected to rooting and stuff i hope someday i will be just as big of an resource as you guys
if the radio flashed then everything should be fine. The best way to test is to just use the phone. You won't notice much of a difference though but if you do then something may have gone wrong. But provided it was all done right, that radio should be fine. However, i should advise you flashing radios are not the safest thing for your phone. Also I don't think it makes much of a difference where you are. I flashed that same radio and it's all good for me.
I would advise searching around a bit more though. These questions have been answered many times before.
thnx then it should all be fine
Cheers ^^

Ive had an issue now for days now, where texts like to be pushed to my phone very late, though with correct timestamps. I though it was an issue that could be solved by complete fresh install, going from latest viper, to latest clean rom, both running latest bulletproof kernel. perhaps its worthy to note im one twrp 2.3.1, hboot 1.14, baseband 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L (that's my radio ver right?)
@dethpikil sorry, it wasn't very clear... Was the problem solved with a clean ROM flash or no?

Nah he said he "thought" it could be solved so I assume it didn't work. Maybe try flashing a different radio?

Also what carrier are you on?
Are these texts coming from people with iDevices? This is a known issue, and it's a problem with iMessage, not your phone. Happens to me sometimes as well.
Lets see. My problem has reduced since new flash of clean Rom and cleaning of excess sms messages. Though lessened I've still experience latency, from other android users. I'm on att. One friend in particular this seems to happen often with is on tmobile android. And I did want to give a new radio a shot, however the ruu processes I have found are unclear and scary, and most ppl only express frustration towards my ignorance, so the new radio will probably wait until I feel more comfortable with whatever it is the ruu process entails.

@dethpikil you don't have to ruu to change radios
@RollTribe (<< hopefully i did that right lol) im aware, but from what ive come to understand, ruuing is necessary for enjoying the 3.4 kernal. so i just seems that updating would kill a couple birds in the process
I don't think this is solely an issue with iPhones. I get multiple duplicate messages from people with Android phones too, although it happens less frequently compared to people with iCrap.
