Dear all,
am new to the world of Pocket PC, and I just came back from my honeymoon and I got the new O2 XDA II.
Rom : 1.52.00WWe
Date : 10/23/03
Radio: 1.05.14
Many of my friends told me that there is this version rom 1.60.06WWE that will make my radio connection (GSM connection) much better as am having problems with my network coverage. So what I would like to know is it better to upgrade to upgrade to the above version, or shall I wait for the next version (number 7 I think)? And does it really upgrades the radio version and makes it better in coverage?
Thanks guys
take care
bye

I'm in Melbourne and using Telstra.
My XDA
ROM ver 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.16
Protocol version 32S54
My problems are:
1.weak signal
2.phone hangs and wont automatically reconnect to network until I switch it off and back on.
Is that only my bad lack or others have similar problems?
Is there a possibility of improving this by change of settings or...?
Any comments appreciated :?:
MY XDA Freezes and Drops Calls
Hello, I am in Ireland. My Phone Hangs and Drops every now and then. It Releases itself after about 5 minutes. Sometimes I answer a call and it drops the line at this stage. I went into an o2 shop to ask them about this but they suggested that there is no other customers with this problem.
the same problem with ROM 3.15.15 ENG / Radio 4.16.00
I have the same hang up problem. I bought mine in Australia as well but use it all around the world, for that matter i have never used it in Australia but i have the hang up problem sometimes. Never the weak signal though. Maybe i am just lucky.
Exactly the same problem with xda bought in HK and used in Russia. And as i note this problem occurs while other mobile phone near xda shows "good" signal level. So I have to restart phone each hour
3.15.15 ENG / 4.16.00
I'm ready to write program which will switch phone module off and on hourly
same
hi have had and am hainvg same problem, phone freezing and dropping out and weak signal when signal is fine in a phone.
did you find a solution to this?

Same problem in SG. 3.14.17ENG with 4.16 Radio stack. Took my XDA to the service center and they upgraded the radio stack to 4.17... Seems like improved so far but not sure if this is a complete resolution yet. Have not seen this radio stack released on the internet yet.
I have the same problem - I seem to be getting a good signal, and all of a sudden the audio just clicks off totally, while the connection time is still ticking over. I've installed the new official patches which seemed to slightly improve things, but the problem still occurs. It'd be nice if someone could resolve this, I've got no idea.
Hi all,
Have the same problem here in Saudi Arabia if the signal gets week at some spot it will not come back only after a reset..
Hello folks,
I have a QTEK 1010 bought from Dubai in October 2003.
Model PW10A1
ROM version 3.16.52 ENG
ROM Date 03/10/03
Radio version 3.19.01
Protocol version 32S54
The device works well but periodically goes off (PDA and cell phone) and pressing the power button at this point soft resets it. I have tried removing add on software (D9 dialer and SMS name utility), soft resetting and hard resetting.
A hard reset seemed to solve the problem - until I synched with Outlook again - but then maybe I did not wait long enough since even after synching and software being loaded, it does fine for hours at a stretch. It is my impression that an incoming or missed call causes it to do that but since it happens inconsistently, I cannot tell.
My questions: -
Is this more likely to be solved by a ROM upgrade or a Radio upgrade? Or is this likely to be a hardware issue? A friend and I bought two devices together but his ROM and radio versions are higher numbers. He does not have this problem but then his cellular provider is different.

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for any helps, and well appreciated.
I have a SX56, Special Edition Rom v.1.2, it worked fine with AT&T for almost 2 years.
Since AT&T merged with Cingular, I frequently lost signal or get roaming from Cingular, and everytime I get roaming signal I have to dial "1+area code + number" eventhough it 's a local call. I couldn't know what signal I get until I make a call. It's really a hastle to dial 10 digits while driving.
Two days ago I decided to switch to T-Mobile, but the signal just shows Cingular all the time. I tried to dial to/from my home phone, sometimes it dial and sometime it doesn't. What does the problem? do I need to reconfigurate somethings ?
Here is its information:
ROM ver. 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio Ver. A.20.10
Protocol Ver. 324e4
If possible, could I upgrade it to WM2003 or anything newer ? I tried install some software but it doesn't compatible with my current version.
Anyone have any tips about the problems PLEASE help me out. I do appreciate that.
ThankYou !!!.
Hi guys,
Just came back to the UK from HK and the reception on my Hermes is pretty bad.
I was using 1.47.30.10 with Smartone Vodaphone in Hong Kong and it was brillient.
However, now back in the UK, with 3, my reception is really bad, sometimes even no recpetion. I am in Birmingham.
I also need to flash my girlfriends phone which is on O2.
Really would appriciate some advice from members here.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jason
52 views and no one can be bothered to help out?
am on orange uk using latest official radio from orange - 1.38.
Not much use to you I guess though. I think T mobile users have a later one as the best for them.
Probably best advice is to try several and see what's best for you as the roadio rom's can be specicfic to the operators.
I used 1.50.00.00 with good results on both O2 and Vodafone networks.
Heard 1.51 was bad. Not tried the most recent one 1.54 (I think).
k-c
thanks for the replies guys.
will try a few out and report back on 3UK best.
on t-mob on hertfordshire, the besy tom for me was 1.40. but just giving 1.54 a test now...
not sure thta helps as we are so far apart
Let me us know how you get on with the 1.54's the 07 has been the best one I've used and I've tried most of the good ones. 1.27, 1.38, 1.48. 1.50
Well im in Wolverhampton. Travelling around the west midlands and stafford areas.
Im on T-mobile and using radio version 1.43 with pretty good constant reception.
1.50.00 was probably the best, and I spend a lot of time in the West Midlands on Vodafone with 3G switched off.
hope no one minds me resurrecting this old thread, has anyone got recent opinions on this?
especially for vodafone?

Hi every one,

i haven't met any problems till now.. i wanna know if it's possible for me to downgrade my radio to 1.47 or 1.38?
I'm no expert, but I went from 1.54.30.10 to the official 1.54.07.00. Never tried going lower.

Yes, u can down grade to a lower radio version, it's done quite often (assuming u have hardspl).
Thanks a lot~
I'll downgrade my Radio as soon as I finished this semester~
By the way...
Are there any serious problem( known as bricked your Hermes) if i continue to using this 1.54.30.10 Radio?
i mean if it necessary for me to downgrade my Radio?
No hard evidence, but 1.5+ radios are suspected for causing problems - read details HERE and HERE
I start experiencing problems similar to described in the above threads, so just downgareded to 1.43
Cheers
not having any major issues with this radio ROM, been on the radio for more or less 3 weeks (touch wood! ) .. am on Celcom Malaysia 3G (UMTS 2100)
Similar problems here. Downgraded, but it may be too late,had numerous connection problems and slow 3G on tmobile.
Forget radio 1.54.xxxxx
From my experience - flashing radio 1.54 can brick your phone , lost CID and sspl .

Bad plan get rid of it now.
Use this one: ftp://xda:[email protected]/HERM_Radio_Only_1.48.00.10_CustomRUU.rar
it's not worth the risk of waiting.... you've been lucky so far. Current thought is that the 1.5x series ROMs drive the radio chip too hard and it overheats to extinction. First signs are drops and erratic radio performance. If you wait until you already got it you prob waited too long. But if you do get those symptoms before you reflash, then pull the battery immediately and (OK this might sound weird but it worked for a friend of mine) put the phone & the battery in a zip lock baggy and put it in the freezer while you get that radio rom I pointed at above ready.
When ready, put it back together and immediately flash the Radio with the 1.48 version. After it resets and does it's business.... reflash the 1.48 again.
Hopefully you will never see the problem again, if that didn't work then you may as well try calling your provider to see if they will replace the phone.
I've downgraded my radio to 1.48 about 1 month ago..
i'll show my grateful to u, thanks a lot!
radio 1.54.30.10 is working perfect on Orange Israel ,Kiyevstar Ukrain, MTC Moscow , and other Europe countries that i visited , this radio is the best i tried
regards

So far so good .. nothing bad happen yet .. notice that my CELCOM 3G signal getting better ...
Same here, I have a better signal and connects to 3G faster than AT&T's radio 1.54.07.00, and I am on the AT&T Network
just to add to the the list of "satisfied customers" ..no problem whatsoever with my provider (UMTS 2100/GSM 900+1800)..
best downgrade and how to obtain it
I'm also experiencing similar problems. I have been running 1.54.07.00 for about 3 months and steadily experiencing more drop-outs on the phone service. I've ready different treads and some people have downgraded to 1.48 and other to 1.43. Is either one a better choice? And, sorry to ask a basic question, but where to I download the downgrade. I searched, but to no avail.
Hermes 100
Rom Version 3.62.502.3
Rom date 10/11/2007 (Oct 11)
Radio version: 154.07.00
I've been using this Radio on my Vario II since it showed up here (2 months maybe) and nothing happened. Signal strength is still the same. For me personally it's the best Radio I've been using so far. I'd be a pity having to downgrade now...

I've had the 'false roaming' icon on for a few weeks now in addition to a 'no signal' scare for a few hours. I'm thinking of just downgrading to the 1.43 radio that originally shipped with the WM5 AT&T ROM.
rom version 1.90.405.1 wwe
rom date: 8/01/08
radio version: 1.02.25.19
protocol version: 52.33.25.17u
I just purchased the phone 10 days ago and I am in the US. The phone only connects via the AT&T EDGE netwaork. I have placed a call to HTC US support , but they tell me the phone will not connect via 3G except Europe or Asia, because it is setup for the Euro/Asia bands for 3G. I have scoured the internet searching for an updated rom to allow my phone to connect to US 3g. I am throwing myself on the alter of the Gurus for assistance in updating my device to work with speed available on US AT&T 3G. HTC did say unofficially that AT&T was carrying the device labeled as the Stealth. Please assist.
Thanks
