Hi everyone. Excellent place here. VERY helpful, and the information flows like wine!
I bought a at&t tilt, i have sim unlocked it, and installed about 4 different roms. I have ended up going back to 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) standar HTC rom version. I like it the best.
However, i am having a hard time figuring out info about the radio. The battery life doesnt seem to be the greatest. And my wifi signal strength is shockingly bad, or so it seems anyway.
Am i able to use a better radio with this rom? Can someone recommend something that will will work without any problems, but will be an actual improvement radio?
I've read the wiki, and have tried searching, but like a lot of other people, it almost overload of info. I would really appreciate it, im going out of town, and having this thing run at bettter performance would really make me happy.
I appreciate any recommendations!
ive been using the niki radio in my signature (downloadable in the wiki) in eastern us and have had no problems. letting everyone know where you are would help in recommending a radio
There are a whole bunch of radios, and there is no clear cut winner. As long as your radio is compatible with your rom, then you gotta test out of all the radios compatible with your rom, which one works the best.

to be honest dude radio performances vary by region; something that works great for me here in mclean, va USA probably might not work great for you. It really is just a lot of experimenting with different radios until you find one that gives you good reception and battery life. I believe that the stock htc rom is wm 6 so any wm6 radio will be compatible with the rom; just need to try, try, and try again to see what works best for you.
If you live around metro dc try the radio in my sig... but wait thats a windows mobile 6.1 radio so don't

My cellular reception is actually really nice! my main issue, is this: i live in a condo, and last night, i went out on my balcony. i was about 15 feet diagonally away from my linksys wrt54GL router, and i wasnt getting ANY wifi. the only thing seperating my phone and router was the wall.
gps signal seems great, with Garmin. Google maps however, i cant get to find a satellite to save my life!
So what everyone is saying is that noone really knows. Im in Miami using T-Mobile and i just installed HardSPL and it worked like a charm. Now i want to install a new rom and theres a bit too much info for me to untagle at this point. So far i gather that some rom's come with different and changable radio versions built in while others work with only 1 version. Now im curious.... how does one install and change these radio settings?
can i just download one and install it?
is there any thread or some sort of complied radio proformances by region? how do these radio versions differ by regional location? i have so many questions....

seems like everyone has got a radio question today but here is my answer to help u:
u need to flash a radio like u flash a rom. when u download a radio it has the customruu.exe w/ it. key is to remember one thing: wm6 roms work w/ wm6 radios and wm6.1 roms work w/ wm6.1 radio only. most roms will work with different radios unless the chef specifically has it matched to one radio only.
for more info plz read kaiser wiki.
p.s. while flashing radio ur phone has to be sync w/ pc
>> I have ended up going back to 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) standar HTC rom version. I like it the best
radios 1.27.xx.xx are the only that will be compatible with WM6.0 ROM. Newer 1.5x.xx.xx and 1.6x.xx.xx radios will cause the following issue:
You are going to lose multimedia sound completely: no ringtones, etc, etc.
In call sound will be likely still functional, but I don't belive that this is something you are looking forward to anyway.
I cannot recommend you the best radio for you ROM, but some would say that : 1.27.12.32 is the one.
I hope it helps.
I'm using dutty's rom WM6.1 WWE Rom. I havent changed the Radio yet. I've been using the ROM for about 2 months now and everything was working fine. But recently my phone won't ring. I can still make and receive calls though. Could the problem be because I haven't changed the Radio?
Are you out there? Rom/radio preferences?
The optus rom is supposedly quite good if you want a fast OEM experience (there is no branding on it)
ive got the touch pro from three.
using the stock radio 1.08.25.20.
Using ROMeOS, err forget which one to be honest flashed about 10 in the first day i got it, but the one with no touch flow 3d. hated it, looked nice but so slow.
Yes we are here
I've had mine since early December.
Have been running it on the stock 3 Rom that was released in Dec with Radio 1.08.25.20. Really hated it at first as it was slower than my original Hermes.
Tweaked it up with some performance enhancements and it ran heaps better.
I tried a few of the XDA chefs cooked up roms but have not found one yet that is to my liking.
Today I have loaded Elite Rom R3 and will run this for a week or so to see how it goes.
EDIT: Also lets not get into the american fuze thing. Its a f*%#ing Touch Pro or a Raph. Why they have to re-brand everything is beyond my comprehension. No offence my US brothers but your marketing people are wankers.
Yep.. another aussie here.
3 network..
Rom version : 1.90.861.8 WWE
Radio version : 1.08.25.20
Only had it for a day or so, but i've gone through all the tweaking guides and it feels noticably quicker.
Bad news to all the aussies who have htc touch pro. I heard htc touch HD is coming!
I'm running the stock Optus 1.94.710.2 ROM with radio 1.02.25.28.
My TP came with radio 1.02.25.19 when new and I used to get one to three bars of reception inside my house.
I flashed to radio 1.02.25.28 and reception jumped to three or four (full) bars of reception! GPS reception was also improved
Since I'm on the 3 network, I then flashed to radio 1.08.25.20 because this is the radio that comes on Touch Pros bought from 3. Reception was horrible even though I thought it would be equal if not better than 1.02.25.28. I averaged one bar of reception with occasional dropouts.
Flashed straight back to radio 1.02.25.28 and reception went back to three or four bars of reception with absolutely no dropouts. I've stuck with this configuration ever since and it's been flawless.
Finally happy ?????
Had my touch pro since early august, and after countless knows how many flash's and tweaks and software upgrades and ll the numerous other things required of a touch pro owner to have a useable device, I believe i can finally say I am happyish. Have been using the PROven ROM from qsqa for some time through it's variances after trying various others and not finding them quite to my needs. Still like any ROM this is not perfect and still requires a little bit of tailoring to each individual's prefrences. Am now running radio 1.08.25.20 after upgrading from the original 3 Radio, I find it to be a great improvement especially in GPS reception, still all in all my good old Dallab DP900 and Tytn make me wonder if all the fuss is worth it, bring on the Touch HD i say

Probably to Telstra at a $129 a month plan knowing how they treat smart phones.
Where do you guys find the best to get accessories, crazy johns at Eastland in Ringwood (Melbourne) seems to have a small selection of stuff, Telstra has a little the local optus stores are all rubbish

Some Harvey Norman stores stock some HTC accesories but go online to find anything, ebay will have everything youcould need
Yeah but.... no one is on NextG 850...........
So far so good, with Elite RC3 rom... although I do miss the Three network tab with all the shortcuts (guess i'll just have to recreate them).
This thread still alive? Anyone had any experiences with the latest radio on Three Australia network?
im only a day old on the 3 network (havent even changed my signature yet) with the pro. already HardSpl'ed and flashed the rom (you'd be crazy to leave the standard one on there.
the only thing that has bugged me is the reception so far, going to give this a go for sure!

Wow you arent wrong about 1.02.25.28, heaps better signal now. im about 20 mins from Melb CBD and was only getting 1 or 2 bars on the rom it came with, now im on 3.
Whats the power usage like?
I've been upgrading for quite sometimes as well.. i got touch pro 3 days after three released it (a while ago....) as I has been hunting it for a while in Australia.
Anyhow... Proven rom is probably on my top 1 as well.. VERY FAST but at version 2.4 i found it a lil unstable so I swapped it to Energy Rom 2 righ tnow... dno't like it as much but I have to wait til next week as qsav dude broke his phone and is repairing...
I've been using Radio 1.02.25.32 for about a good month. OK reception, very poor in townhall station *sydney* but it was better than the normal 3 radio. Doesn't drain the battery as much as well.. GPS is pretty fast (don't know whether it related but worth the mention)
any aussie member know if there is anywhere that has Moto S9-HD in stock or have used one? I wanna know if the call reception any good eg. in train or buses or walking along the street....
Cheers

hey give 1.02.25.28 a try, even the connection speed is better.
I get full H coverage at work in Kew with Virgin Mobile (aka Optus)
I've thought about switching to a new radio to see if I could improve performance, but I have no idea which one I should go with. I tried Radio KB3 as I read some people saying it was best... it gave me the exact same performance as the default one, so I just went back to that, though.
Should I just try a bunch of different ones, or is there generally one that works best for people on Rogers/Fido?
No radio flash will transform your phone into something vastly superior than what you are currently using.
Me? I'm on KB3 on AT&T in the Western US and it works great. Much better than the stock radio.
Not sure what that means, but it's uncapped on upload and makes me happy. No other radio will launch my phone into 5g speeds or anything. Minute tweaks and I'm pleased with KB3.
yeah, try not to mess up too much with the radio, else you can really kill the phone.
if you purchased the correct phone for the correct network, you don't need to change radio, unless the phone is 2nd hand, and it had major problem to begin with
don't fix what it's not broken
if you are on the 4g try the ke1 that's what i'm running and it's nice.
I did a full clean install (through OTG) of Sultan's ROM+KERNEL (Sept 14) and just recently updated to Sept 27. The ROM has been amazing, but I've noticed since installing I've had really slow WIFI speeds and the reception isn't the greatest (used to be really good on stock).
What Modem is everyone using?
EDIT: I've Deleted all the APNs and added a new one. Had to do that to get LTE working.
What someone else is using won't be of any help to you. Even if your next door neighbor had the same phone with the same ROM you could still have wildly varying experiences using the same modem. You need test for yourself, it's the only way to know which modem will be best for you.

Thanks for the reply. Will flashing something like Full-YNG1TAS0YL-modem-flashable.zip or Full-OxygenOs-1.0.0-modem-flashable.zip (from Boeffla) change the Modem and WiFi/Bluetooth as well? Noticed after flashing the Full-Oxygen, my bluetooth just dies and I have to reboot my phone to get it working again.
Hi im really new to this site and have been having problems getting consistent signal on my G3 D850 for calls. Is anyone aware of any recent custom roms that are geared towards signal / reception performance? I came across one called SPECTRUM but it seems this project was abandoned about a year ago. Would it still be logical to use that rom or can anyone suggest one? Ive been putting up with this issue since i bought the phone 4 months ago or so and its really starting to get to me. I can text and use data fine but when it comes to making or receiving calls i want to throw the thing out the window.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with this!
For best reception use 100% stock firmware. That's about as best as it gets.

The 7.1 build of the N&N rom was by far the best signal I (and others) ever saw for the D850. Nothing came close, and while it is no longer developed it's still a solid choice.

This confuses me so much. Why does this particular ROM have increased reception? Moreover, why does it only have increased reception up to the 7.1 version, and then the 8.0 and 10.0 seem to tank it?
Is there a different modem involved? can it be installed elsewhere on other roms?

Not the faintest idea, and no one really knows. Much has been speculated, from build.prop tweaks (not it) to system libs and files (most likely).
