Tmous 3.32 or 3.33 - HTC Sensation

What are the changes that the 3.33 has apart from 3.32? I have T-Mobile in the US and I am wondering if it would make a difference if I got the 3.33 firmware. Will it make a difference in phone signal or WiFi signal or will it make a difference at all?

I know that some people have expierienced some issues with WIFI after updating to 3.33, however, I myself have updated to 3.33(also a t-mobile user), and haven't had ANY issues. I am currently running CM10, and haven't had any issues. Great speeds also.

Updated radio. It didn't change anything for me.

No changes for me neither. I also used some apps to check signal, but no difference at all

No change other than the radio for me.

Are TMOUS users with 3.3.2.531 firmware having success running Roms based on the 3.3.3 firmware?

Can someone provide a link for 3.33?

I am, I've been running ROMs that say 3.33 is recommend, but it works flawlessly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

I've run 3.33 roms on 3.32 firmware and vise versa. There are problems with WiFi and Bluetooth on stock 3.33 due to two missing files. I've addressed both files in my version of 3.33. Without these changes you may have to set a static ip address for WiFi to connect, otherwise it will just hang without connection.
/system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
and
/system/etc/dbus.conf
are both missing in the 3.33.401.106RUU

Yes I'm a T-Mobile user and run 3.33 never had problems no problems with 3.33 ROMs either. All is well. I actually feel I had a bit better signal after flashing 3.33. I've been using 3.33 for awhile now and its proven to be just fine no issue whatsoever!

Thanks Grogg!
Good to know you've had success running 3.3.3 roms on 3.3.2.531.
I've been reluctant to jump up to 3.3.3 firmware because of all the horror stories about losing wifi and not getting it back. This is from reading all the threads of people who flashed 3.3.3 firmware, tried a multitude of Roms, move back down to 3.3.2 firmware, and still don't get WiFi back. What is your take on that? (I value your thoughts and opinions when I see you in a thread. I abide by the Dude.)

I haven't gone extremely in depth in chasing down user issues lately, but I know that majority of wifi issues are related to users without s-off. More often than not, you'll find that wifi issues and htc-dev unlock go hand in hand. I've gone back and forth a number of times now and have suffered no such issues.
Now, as far as differences between 3.32 and 3.33 go... There are new kernel sources that were released for the 3.33 builds. Kernels built from these sources DO seem to work fine with 3.32 roms. There are no change logs released from HTC, so the only changes you could really decipher from source would be within the kernel sources manually. As far as any other changes between ROMs or firmware, nobody really answered because nobody really spent the time to manually dissect each and every file within the bases for comparison. It's just the way people think around here: higher number must mean better right? LOL
If you're happy with 3.32.531.14 then stick with it. There's nothing in 3.33.401.106 that is going to make your phone run faster or jump higher!

Connection Issues after Rooting

I've rooted my phone using the Ace Hack Kit a month ago and since then I have been having awful times with my 3G connection. I hardly get it, when I'm lucky I get EDGE, and I'm not even talking about callings that were also affected. I've tried several different Radios and I still didn't get a solution. I'm in Brazil and would like to know if there could be any connection of the rooting to the connection problems.
Thanks A LOT!

The root access has nothing to do with the signal strengh. The issue should be something in the hardware rather than the software. Try cleaning the antenna...

Now where exactly do I find the antenna? Is there a special technique to clean it?

The antenna is under the back cover (where the sim card is)....make sure that the metal contacts are ok...just clean it with alcohol and let it dry...
No luck. Still getting bad connection. So there is NO WAY a software change could have caused it? And if it is a hardware problem could it be that a fall or something like it may have caused it?
Once again thanks for the help...

When you flashed a new radio did you also flash its corresponding ril? That could cause some issues. If so I would go back to stock to see if it still persists

Yes that is very possible. If you dropped this phone it could have weakened one of the radio contacts or even possibly damaged a filter cap on the radio circuit. If software isnt changing your results the next logical step is that its hardware related. Also wondering how the 3g coverage is in your area as well.

If you think that is Rom related, go to the ARHD Q&A thread, there you will find answers better than here.

2 things you need:
1. Ask questions in the right area and not overtop of someone else's question. Thats just rude and shows you didnt read or research before asking your question, as i know this has been covered a dozen times.
2. You need the htc sync software on the computer for passthrough to work.

Mobile network problem

Hey guys,
Installed arhd 6.4 yesterday and I'm having some issues with the mobile data. It is constantly uploading, and I can't go to google or load anything. Checked the apn settings for 3 ( my network) and they're all correct.
Anyone know what the problem is? Could it be solved by flashing a new radio?
Thanks

As a rule of thumb, you should always flash the ROM dev's recommended firmware which contains the recommended radio

Correct-RIL included with rom.
Check rom thread for supported firmware versions, perhaps you can downgrade slightly giving you a different radio.
You can also flash radio seperately, either by fastboot if you use Mike's or Kor-ah's packages, or by pg58.img in recovery if not.
Unfortunately radio performance is specific to device/rom/carrier/RIL so experimentation is standard!

I think the issue is down to mismatch of radio or kernels. Im having the same issues myself since flashing viper. Flashed Kang 10 jellybean and wifi was restored for an hour but back to same now. Just tried latest ruu and completely factory wiped but lost rev in hboot now just says locked. ThinknI have to flash the radio again to use adb commands. Really frustrating though.
Some guidance from someone with a bit of wit would be perfect

Nothing is wrong. If your on 4.0.4 or a ROM based on 4.0.4 then it's usual. Thus is from TrickDroid thread
Q. I’m getting G for my signal! How come I’m only getting GPRS instead of 3G or HSPA+?
A. This is a problem in HTC’s handy work. There are cases being reported where people are getting the G symbol instead of 3G or H but if you do a test with a speed test app, you’ll see that you’re still getting HSPA+ speeds. The symbol is not an effective method of determining network speed. For the time being, just assume G stands for Great!
