Greetings guys
I'm running ViperXL 3.2.7 since yesterday and i love it! After browsing the HUB i noticed, that there are several Radio's available for my phone.
Is it worth it to Flash a new Radio, or ist it just an unnecessary risk?
And my two other Questions are:
1.
I also read in ViperXL Topic about WiFi Partition's. Never heard of that before and Google don't want to tell me what it is. Could one of you Guys explain what "JB WiFi Partition Update" will do to my Phone?
2.
When I want to Update on Viper 3.2.8, do i have to clear Cache or Dalvik? Or am I able to load it via "Check for System-Updates" on my phone and just install it.
Im very anxious that my HTC will brick when I do something wrong.
So please, don't be that hard to me. I'm a newbie.
And furthermore my english is also not that great
Thanks for your time, mates!
Regards,
Kureno
The need to flash radios all depends on how your current radio is working. For instance: is your signal strength ok? Is your battery drain acceptable? If your answer to these questions is yes, then you probably don't need to flash a radio. But if you're struggling with signal problems, testing a few different radios is a good idea. Flash one and note the signal strength, flash another and note the signal strength, and so on until you find one that works best in your area.
In regards to your question about the WiFi partition update, if your WiFi is working ok you don't need to do it. If you're getting reboots when using WiFi then you might want to try it.
And, I usually download the OTA update from the thread and flash it manually, basically because I don't trust OTAs. And I always wipe cache and dalvik cache, it can't hurt.

Thank you for your help!
Regarding my Signal-Strength, I think it's okay. But my location and my weather report doesn't update automatically.
HTC Weather is always telling me: "No Data for your location".
But when I click on Update, it updates my location and my weather report.
And when i start my phone, it takes a while until i have a Signal for telephoning or sending sms.
Can those issues be fixed by flashing a new Radio? Or do I just have to live with them?
I had the same problems with weather while using the Viper ROM, but I haven't used it in a while. The length of time it takes to have a usable signal upon boot will not get any faster by changing radios, at least I don't think it will.

My HTC One S on Three Uk drops 3g every now and then. It gets annoying because I have to keep turning the 3g on and off to make it work Any ideas to make it work all the time?
Quite a few people have issues with the signal. What radio version are you running?
How do you check you radio number?

Thats the latest radio for the One S
Boot into your recovery and wipe cache, delvik cache and fix permissions, see it that helps.
Heres a thread with people that have similar issues;

Some people just deal with it. Because its most likely a radio issue, it should be fixed in future updates, however you can ask for a replacement if you really want too.
I can't get ota because I unlocked bootloader and installed cwm no root though.
You can always relock and run a ruu. Theres even ways to do it unlocked, check out the dev section.
Ok thx!
i flashed teh latest version of the blackbean rom yesterday (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954276)
and if my one s falls asleep it stops tethering, if i wake it again its working again.
is that a cm10 problem or did i do sth wrong?
I'm pretty sure its because the ROM flashes a new radio. Specifically the 1.08ts which turns off the data when the screen is off. Its to help prevent people from tethering. There is an apk on the play store that you can use to prevent this, however I can't for the life of me think of the name or you can flash one of the zjps on the blackbean forum that let's you change radios.

can't find it, maybe anyone knows the name? otherwise i gotta flash some other rom, but this one's pretty smooth so i would really like to stick to it!
Hey guys sorry I can't find the name. It was in one of these forums but as I'm sure you know searching them is easier said then done. Try the modified radio zips they are in the cm10 forum. Either in the general cm10 discussion or the development one. If you get really desperate just check the 'screen always on' box in setting under developer options.

Hi Folks!
I've just installed this ROM (first time I do stuff like this...I may be an IT guy but I am an absolute NOOB on android ROMs world)
Reaper V4.0 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816
I wanted to post my question on that thread but I could not because this is my first post so I hope you can help me here
So I´ve installed that ROM, I am not sure if I like it yet but there is something absolutely important not working and if I cannot fix it I doubt I will ever find out if I like it.....I just cannot connect to my home wireless network!
Basically when I see the list of networks available I see all my neighbours networks but not mine! And I've been connecting to it normally until 1 hour ago when I had my htc Desire S with its original OS.
Do you guys have any idea why I could possibly see other networks but not mine?
Thank you all in advance for reading!
Cheers
U could try a few things, clearing the phone's cache and dalvik in recovery.
Or you could try fiddling with your router, a reset might do the trick.

I reset the router but did not help. It should not be related to the router anyway...
I wiped cache and dalvik cache also but did not help
I am seriously considering replacing this ROM immediately with another one...It's useless like this (I've also googled and found no relevant content that could help).
My htc Desire S is still S-ON but unlocked with the official htcdev unlocking.
Any suggestion for some stable (and possibly more modern...this one is gingerbread) ROM that I could get?
Cheers and thank you rain for your help

If you like Sense ROMs, I suggest Desire XS, pretty stable and VERY fast.
I am using Andromadus CM10.1 latest build and I haven't had issues yet.
Else you can consider flashing MIUI ROMs, that have very pretty UI and provide a good user experience. Try for yourself and see which ROM suits for you.

Right now I am installing (I actually did) this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679125
It's supposed to be for desire one but modified to work on desire s.
Installation was fine but it's now stuck on a white screen with htc one logo (and a logo in the bottom saying "beatsaudio"
Crossing my fingers to see if it moves from there!
If not I will definitely try one of the ROMs you suggested....if I did not brick the phone of course! :laugh:
EDIT: It moved from the white sceen and seems to be working....Will be giving this ROM an opportunity....if not will try one of the ones you mentioned...
Good thing the wifi works on this one at least

Fallout is also a very good ROM (all lowveld's ROMs are). I did have tried that ROM before, very stable and with good performance, but sense is too "funeral" for my taste.

I recently flashed to Vincom's SUPERLITE CM10 JB4.1.2 RoM | V8.0.
Ive gotten things up and running pretty well, but there is one major issue I seem to be having. My phone is not consistently able to connect to data on AT&T. I am frequently losing my data connections in locations where I have always had them in the past.
I searched around on his developer thread but didnt see an answer. I saw a reference to APNs for AT&T, but his note says these should now be included in the ROM I flashed, so Im not sure if I am missing something.
Anyone know if this is a common problem or how I can troubleshoot it and get up and running again?
Thanks.
Haven't heard of this being a problem. What modem (baseband) are you on? You can find it in settins, about phone.
Also, in settings wireless, more, mobile networks, Check that the access point name is on att LTE

Its gotten worse. Ive spent the last 5 hours with almost zero data access.
I see baseband version i727UCLI3.
Access Point name was was set to ATT wap,cingular. I switched it to ATT LTE (pta)...should this fix it? Any idea why this would have happened? Will I need to keep checking this or was it just something from the ROM flash?
flash the ucli3 radio again or try another ics radio
which recovery are you on

I am using TWRP for recovery if that is what you mean?
I will search around for how to locate and flash a radio...does it matter which I use or any ICS radio should be OK?
Read vincom's stickies in the development forum. You'll find everything you need there.

Super. Glad I dont need to reflash a radio. Although I will let you know if it happens again (and will flash a new radio to test)

reflashing radio is the simplest things todo on our phones, no harm will come of it and sometimes beneficial as cwm/twrp wiping and flashing roms dont touch that parition
I'm new to this rooting business and after a slow start I managed to Root and flash my first ROM at the weekend. I used Vipers 1.6.3 which, after some research, I gather is a pretty old version. I'm still impressed though even if it is some of their older work but the one issue I've been having is with my mobile data speed. I haven't been getting anything above E/G speed wise and I've found it quite frustrating. I'm gonig to update to version 3.1.4. when I get back home but do you think this will resolve the issue? Is there a setting or something that I need to be aware of that controls maximum data speed.
Sorry if this is a complete noob question but I'm doing my best with searches and guides but I'm not finding anything particulary helpful.

OK would the latest radio's not have been included inthe zip files then?
I was going to download the rom from this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216858
I can't see any information about radio's in there. It does mention about ICS non compatible kernals. This is confusing me further. How do I know what kernal I'm currently on. Once again.....sorry for the noobness but after the drama I've had just getting this far I'm nervous about messing it up.

Hey,
Did you try a full wipe so you know for sure it's not the problem of the rom, just make a nandroid backup in your recovery(4ext recovery is higly recommended)
Also another trick,
As you know the back of the sensation is also the antenna...
You can try to gently clean the gold spots.
About the radio take a look at here it says when you have the wrong radio it can cause bad reception so it can be the problem.!

For me that did the trick, but now that i updated to 3.1.4 this option seems to be missing, so maybe obsolete and handled automatically as i have no issues without it.
