Hey guys,
I'm using WM2005 1.50g and had some issues with Radio 1.18 initially as other ppl on the board have had. I went back to 1.17 and now have different issues.
Can anyone confirm they are experiencing the same things as me? And are there any better Radio ROMs than 1.17 and 1.18? (even older version?)
1.18 PROBLEMS:
- Flight mode takes AGES to enable
- Flight mode takes even longer to disable...
- Flight mode randomly turns off (some ppl say when a reminder occurs)
- rare GPRS connection fails with "cannot connect to [gprsapn.com]" (every few days)
1.17 PROBLEMS:
- GPRS connection fails with "cannot connect to [gprsapn.com]" very often. Using ActiveSync schedule 30 mins interval this happens every few hours. Requires either waiting over an hour for timeout or to turn on flight mode then turn off again, or of course soft-reset.
- tap on [G] in top bar, does not list GPRS connection to connect to. Just says "To connect to either the Internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings".
Any one with further info?
Cheers to all the good work ppl are putting into WM2005, I'm thinking 2003SE is dying a slow death now. 2.20-[fully]translated may never eventuate eh. These problems listed above I never had on 2003SE so I know the hardware is not faulty and the settings are fine.
I am currently using 1.17, here are my observations:
> SMS sent to me seem to be delayed (not sure if this is a provider/network issue or caused by the radio rom; Philippine Smart users with WM5.0 and using 1.17 radio rom, pls confirm...)
> Sometimes when I power up my XDA, several SMS messages (lagged?) will suddenly come in all at once
> There are also times when you can't send out an SMS message. I am sure my signal strength was full. It just doesn't leave the outbox. So I move the msg in the outbox to the drafts folder then resend it again. Then after some time, it will send but will send it in multiple copies (depending how many times you have retried). This is annoying specially if it's an urgent message. Very frustrating!!!
**I hope someone else out there can confirm my observations. Thanks!

how to change radio:
Put Radio_.nbf and Upgrade.exe in one folder and flash as normal. After flashing, just reset, don't hard reset, and get happy!
Remember that Radio stack ROM update is dangerous, fail update will make your radio unusable probably for ever. Be careful.
edit - Update: After a lot of testing - Don't install other radio that 1.17 on my roms if you are not suicidal
Old post, more info?!
hi. Sorry to bother you at this late stage, but could you explain what you mean by that statement regarding the combination of your ROMs and Radio versions that are not 1.17..?
Do you mean that your ROMs rely on version 1.17 to function correctly?
In which case, is it fair to say that whenever a new ROM is released / cooked, the chef should also mention which Radio ROM they are using also?!
Thanks for your patience
Sorry if this is a dumb Question but I have not been able to find a true answer.
What is the advantage of updating My Radio Rom from 1.20 to either 1.27 or 1.35 or should I leave well enough alone.
Its up to you, the 1.35.00.11 version of the radio has the GPS chip enabled, but as you will see in the GPS thread the GPS chip works but has no antenna. The radio should be more stable, and i noticed an increase in the range of my 3G area with it. Make sure to use the version available here (at the top) because they push "des SSPL" to the phone so you dont need to worry about which bootloader or CID you have (not that it matters about CID with radio upgrades...but you know what i mean )
Thanks, i'll probably upgrade to 1.35 using the link you provided
Just upgraded, very straightforward.
One slight issue. After upgrade and soft reset I could not make a data connection.
I made a voice call just to check that was working . . .
then all was OK.
Don't know if the voice call sorted it or what
just make sure you have GPS off or your battery will be in for a ride

Hi,
I also flashed 1.35 nice and easy. So where can you turn GPS off ?
Thanks for the help

Don't worry, GPS isn't enabled unless you install the VRSerial driver (which aint easy....). Even then, it's only turned on when an application specifically opens the GPS comm port.

Hi Sleuth255,
thanks for the help on this issue. I do not indent to install VRSerial. I do have an external GPS mouse which is fine for me.

I recently upgraded and it was a major improvement for me. Far fewer dropped calls, better reception, etc.
I have noticed a noticeable decrease in in-call volume...is this an issue with this rom? At max volume, I have trouble hearing in a noisey environment...never had this problem before.
RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe wants to connect to the internet?
I upgraded my radio rom yesterday and kept the installation file, RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe, on my laptop. I downloaded the file with the link supplied in the wiki page.
Now today I get a warning from my f-secure saying that the exe file “RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe” wants to connect to the internet. I clicked deny and it kept trying to connect four more times then it stopped. I scanned the file for viruses and Trojans but F-Secure didn’t find any.
Anyone else had the same problem or perhaps knows whats going on?

its probably thinking that access to the ActiveSync device (which as far as i am aware is via tcp over usb) i wouldnt worry about it. disconnect from the internet if you are.
Hi,
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!
After install this radio version, my phone want to start...
WiFi is ok
BT is ok
But the phone remain in of, even i restart it using the wireless manager...
Some suggestion?
Tanks
load up dotFred's taskmanager and see if the RIL service has started.
@ricott:
I built that RUU with an unregistered copy of WinRAR. Maybe it's phoning home for some reason....

If the phone won't start, after flashing radio 1.35, simply reflash the SO.

Did you upgrade from 1.34.00.10 or a lower version radio ?
Would like to know if there is any "real" advantage to upgrade from 1.34.00.10 to 1.35.00.11 ?
I am experiencing some missed calls due to the always GPRS / 3G connection I am running for emoze push mail.
Of all the Roms I've tried so far on the Titan; dcd 2 and radio 3.27 is the best.
GPS is working well. The phone has not locked up or freeze while bluetooth is on; bluetooth is working well Voice Command. Using 65%-70% memory at all times.
Excellent rom dcd - thank you!!
One question: I am current using dcd rom 2 BETA; any changes made that should make me install non-beta???? Thanks.
Provider?
You should say which provider you have with your Titan. Some folks with VZW had issues with authentication or other troubles, some on VZW had no issues at all. So which provider do you have that all is working well, I know I want to know.
And Dcd has now released his 2.1.0 rom with Windows Mobile 6.1...
mine is working pretty good to, Sprint with 2.0.0 Beta. The only real problem I've seen is that sometimes after closing a program thats running GPS the phone gets reeeeeaaaal slow for a minute, or sometimes freezes up.
using sprint; sorry i forgot to mention.
The TELUS one is working flawless. Excelent job. No freez, all option are working ;-) thanks
With the beta it would literally take me about 5 min just to find service....data was real flakey too. Not sure if it was the rom...radio...or what. With the 2.1.0 rom I get services as soon as the device comes up after a soft reset. Data is 100X better for some reason. Anyway....thx!
There is no Java on my phone after upgrading to this rom. I cant install google maps or opera mini. What can I do?
I know this is not supposed to be able to happen, but on two occasions today and since upgrading to new radio and DCD 3.0 my wifi has turned on and detected networks with the wifi switch set to off, not sure why this is happening and I can not duplicate it on demand, trying to turn on wifi with the switch of via comm manager still does not work. Trying to find some kind of pattern but it has only happened twice.
Perhaps with the new radio there is a way to turn it on and off via software, or perhaps my switch is malfuntioning.
I had a similar experience as well.
I noticed it when I soft reset (not all the time, but 1/10 maybe?) and when trying to activesync, it would sometimes turn on.
I wish there was a way to figure it out, this means that it should be possible turn on wifi via software doesn't it?
Now that you mention it one of the times it came on was right after a soft reset.
Yep, this is becoming a well known problem.....well, for me not a big problem, just a slight annoyance....in the new ROM/Radio. It must have something to do with the radio, because I never experienced this in any other ROM. I'm wondering if WLAN may be turning on when there are short lapses in carrier coverage, and when an app (like activesync....I sync my e-mail using outlook)is trying to be connected to data (the internet). I just turn it back off when it turns on by itself. It doesn't ever seem to turn OFF by itself when I'm actually using WLAN.
EDIT:
one thing that may support my theory is that when you do a soft reset, it takes a bit to connect to the carrier network, and this just happens to be one of the times that WLAN turns itself back on..
And yeah, the battery usage definately sucks....plus when WLAN is turned on, and you're not connected to an access point, you could have data throughput issues as it keeps trying to see if it can connect through WLAN and/or radio......
I need it fixed , I didn't catch it earlier and my battery lost 85% today wihtout me even using my phone. Normally I get 2 full days I haven't really used my phone today and was fully charged this morning now I am at 15%, very poor performance for my typical use.
I am running dcd's 3.0.1 on my XV6800 and noticed that the wifi will turn on with the switch in the off position. It has happened to me a half dozen times or so. It only does it while I am on a call. Any suggestions? Has a solution been found yet? Any help is appreciated!
Same here, but has only happened a of of times.

It only appears to happen while in a call for me as well...it happened with no additional software installed at that point so I'm certain it has something to do with the rom itself...I'm guessing the new radio but who knows for sure...

And I hvae never had the problem. (and I do run wmwifirouter)
i saw this when the kitchen first came out as well. i also saw that it wanted to connect to a roaming alot more than it should as well.
sprint will tell you to set you phone roaming settings to "sprint only" the phones and ROMs come with "automatic" enabled.
my sprint buddy told me long ago to change this from auto to sprint only. soft reset. let it conect to a good sprint connection. then switch back to "auto" and soft reset.
i haven't did this for a year or so, but when i started seeing the roaming icon after many of the soft resets i thought about it. since i did this i haven't seen the roaming nor the wifi bug.
i think it is the theory that when you softreset the phone set on auto looks for the first tower, which could be a roaming tower. this takes a little too long to conect. in this longer than normal connection time when something like activesync wants to connect and has no internet connection it will enable wifi to connect if it has to.
i have noticed in the past with other ROM's as well that if your phone is in flight mode and you soft reset. as soon as activesync tries to connect and cant it will turn on wifi.
try this. turn on flight mode. soft reset. open active sync and hit sync. you'll see.
so for the record... this is not a dcd bug, but rather a windows mobile bug. wm 5 and 6. the best fix is to set it to sprint only or do the trick i stated above.
Are any of you running the HTC Home Plugin with the weather patch?
Because I installed it on my XV6800 and on a soft reset the WiFi was acting wacky. As if it was looking for a signal.
All I did to correct this issue was to disable automatic roam / download of the weather.
Well what I noticed so far is this, mostly happens after a soft reset, but sometimes it does it at random. Only happens when I have DCD 3.0.1, I am not seeing it with any other custom rom and I think I have tried them all. I have not had any roaming icons or the like and with telus customizations on you have two options for network, there is standard and automatic.
The only reason I hold on to it being dcd 3.0.1 is that no other version 3.35rom I've installed has done it, the ones I have installed off the top of my head are the stock sprint rom, DCD 3.0, 3.0.1, no2chem 5053, and two others that I can't remember as well as my own stripped down version of the stock sprint rom.

Did you have this issue with your Stock ROM?
I only ran the stock 3.35 rom for about a day but I seem to recall it happened then as well. I didn't think it was necessarily DCD's rom but was an issue with the new radio. I'll try the steps cody recommended and see if that does the trick.

Nor have I.
I just switched to sprint only, and after a soft reset, the wifi did not turn on as usual.

No I did not, however I also did not have it on there very long. I flash often, and I am constantly tweaking, "My name is jjlwork have a flashing problem" lo
Interestingly enough I am able to reproduce by following cody's instructions with the flight mode -> soft reset -> activesync
I was getting 15-20 second gps locks when I had radio .40 and DCD 3.2.6, but as soon as I upgraded the radio and DCD then it's taking like over 7-9 minutes to get a lock. Sometimes it won't lock at all anymore unless I do a hard reset on the phone. I'm not sure what happened. Does anybody have any ideas? Look at my signiture below for my current configuration.
What's the best Radio and ROM to use right now with the least amount of problems, etc.? I was looking at the V2.2 heavy and light, but I'm not sure if I really understand much about what they are about or the differences in what I have now. I think my biggest problem is with text messaging. If I do it a lot I have to keep restarting my phone because the memory goes down to zero in no time at all. Infact, I have to keep constantly clearing the memory if I use any programs at all. Thanks for your help and time!
Try either 3.3.4 or 3.2.6. I prefer 3.3.4
after all of my testing i ended up sticking with 3.2.6. did you do the aGPS fix? have you checked the QPST settings since your flash? generally, these settings should stick, but in some cases; such as when you need a new a-key, these settings are lost. my last flash removed all my QPST settings and i couldnt lock until i did the aGPS fix again with the updated IP address and port.
Well, in the past it kept all the information after I did the upgrade, so I just assumed it still did. I didn't need a new A-Key. I guess I'll check the QPST settings and do the aGPS fix again. It's been so long ago since I did all the GPS stuff I can't remember what I did and didn't do. I still do get locks but they take forever now and sometimes I don't get them until I restart the phone.
Why are you sticking with 3.2.6? Why don't you like 4.1.2 or 2.2 heavy or light? I've always had the memory problem where if I use programs it just eats up my memory and I don't get most of it back after exiting the software, and if I use my text messaging then my memory just goes down to zero in no time flat and I can't recover it unless I'm constatly restarting my phone. There must be some kind of fix for this. Please let me know. Thanks.. Steve

the QPST settings have changed, so if you did it a while ago you probably just need to update it. youll be locking again after that. ive tested all of dcds roms quite a bit, and always ended up back at 3.2.6 or 3.2.5. im really happy with the speed and everything works exactly as it should. i have a pretty heavy today screen load as well as running several apps at the same time. i didnt like the 4.x.x roms for a couple of reasons. the unread text message thing bugged me alot. i also had a problem with random hard resets, which i was not a fan of.

Are the changes in the AGPS thread?
yes they are
Oh, really? Then that's probably part of the problem. I changed them maybe a year ago or longer. I tried running QPST to check and it's giving me an error message when I start it, so I'm going to have to try to reinstall it and see if that fixes it. Also, the links for the pictures are dead and they aren't coming up anymore, it makes it harder to figure it out.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
I ran the Serf Telus aGPS Provisioning CAB file and that seemed to help. I sometimes get locks under 1 minute now, but sometimes it won't lock at all and I have to keep soft booting the phone to get it working.
Oh, so that's why my phone keeps resetting? It's not hard resetting I think it's just soft resetting. At first I didn't like the unread text message thing, but now I do because I get a lot of text messages and when I go to read them it doesn't mark them all as read in the group and I can read them when I get a chance.
I still had the memory issues with the 3.2.6 ROM with my memory going down to nothing, especually when I did text messages, I had to keep restarting my phone. That's been a problem I had with all my ROMs. I wonder why that is? Could it be the version of the MMS software I'm using? Is it the latest version?
Maybe I should go to the MR1 ROM? I still will be able to use the GPS and the WiFiRouter software with it right? Maybe that will solve all my problems? What about the 2.2 light and heavy ROMs? Does anybody know anything about those? Thanks for your help and time...

Well, I uninstalled QPST and reinstalled it and it worked this time without any error messages. It seems if I don't use it for a while it gives me a error message if I try to use it again and I have to uninstall it and reinstall it and then it works OK. I don't remember the error message, but I think it's something about can't find a server or something.
Anyways, you were right about the information I had being old and not correct. I had 66.174.95.132 and 8888 instead of PDE IP Address: 216.198.139.92 and PDE Port Number: 8889. I corrected it and it still seems to take about 56 seconds to get a lock, but hopefully now it will be more reliable in getting the locks. I seem to remember in the past getting locks in less then 10-15 seconds, and I wonder why I can't get locks like that anymore.
Thanks for the help!
Well, I was wrong, I'm getting 15-20 second locks now and I'm getting twice the satalites, up too like 9 satelites and I was getting 1/2 that before and it's a lot more accurate now. Before when I was using Google Maps, I could see it was off like about 50-75ft, but now it's spot on, on my location. Hopefully someone knows the answers to some of my previous questions and can get back to me. Thanks..
I too was having this same exact problem and I had to update the QPST IP address and port again. Mine had reverted to the same thing that Apota's had, with the exception of my default port being 8888. All is working well now that I reset the QPST IP address. I get 6-8 sats and locks in about 10 seconds.
I had been experimenting with some of the RyanMogul's new ROMs when this broke for me. I tried 2.1 light and it stopped working. I'm currently running 1.1 light with it functioning after reusing QPST.

I just upgraded to the v2.2 light. I think I'm going to have to get use to it because the interface is so different, but I got a GPS lock with my TomTom GPS software in about 4 seconds. I couldn't believe it. I haven't seen a lock that fast before. It's really awesome! LOL
