Ken Barwick is reporting new offical firmware release for the Vodafone UK V1605. His blog is here:
http://blogs.conchango.com/kenibarw...s_2F00_-TyTn_2900_-get_2700_s-an-upgrade.aspx
And the software is on rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38302476/RUU_Hermes_VF_UK_2.07.161.1_6275_1.32.00.00_108_Ship.exe.html
Can any of you more techinical minded folk check it out - is it an offical upgrade? (can't find anything on the offical Vodafone websites). Too nervous to try it myself as my phone is a company phone. Anyway if someone wants to look into it and report back.
Cheers
Barney
Well I have gone ahead and done it - got too impatient to wait for someone else to check it out.
The upgrade went smoothly -
Stats as follows
After
ROM Version 2.07.161.1
ROM Date 02/06/07
Radio Version 1.32.00.00
Protocal Version 32.65.7020.09W
AKU 3.3
Now will rebuild with software I had before and test. Will keep you informed but all seems to be working ok so far.
Cheers
Barney
It's the same rom that came (installed) on my 1605. It's very good. Battery life is very good. BT on, wifi with a fair amount of use, backlight up full, 30-60 minutes of calls etc... and the battery lasts around 48 hours. Beats my T750v by around 36 hours.
Hello,
I own a sim free TYTN and use a Vodafone sim. If I update my TYTN with this ROM, will I then be able to install the iminent HTC ROM update without any problems? Will the Vodafone ROM lock my phone to their network?
Thanks.

Sounds like it is an official ROM then - can someone let an admin know to possibly update the relevent WIKI page. Wonder why Voda are using it for newer phones but haven't issued it as an update for exisiting phones?
Must say - no problems so far - all software seems to be working ok.

Since upgrading I had a problem with accessing my storage card. Appears this is a known problem with newer ROM upgrades (doesn't happen with AKU 2.x version) Have applied a reg workaround posted in other threads. If that works great if not I will go back to my previous ROM (AKU 2)
Cheers
Barney
Well the issue with my storage card is still happening therefore I suspect I will revert to my previous Vodafone firmware AKU 2.3 - Anyone know whether reverting will be a problem as I read somewhere that the bootloader or something like that will not allow you to revert to a previous rom. Anyone know if this is an issue?
Cheers
Barney
Loaded this on my v1605. (Well, actually I extracted the ROM, Ext ROM and Radio so as to continue running with Hard-SPL.)
Anyway, works fine for me. But the protocol version is actually 32.65.7020.09H (i.e. with HSDPA). I think the previous Vodafone radio had a protocol ending in W.
Also I had some problems with my storage card but I found that putting into a card reader and re-formatting as FAT32 on a Windows computer did the trick. The card was originally FAT16. (Curiously a FAT32 format on my Mac failed to fix it...)
Initial impressionis AKU 3.3 is fantastic and I'll be sticking with this ROM. New radio also seems to give me much better reception and call connection reliability, so far. I might try radio 1.38 in due course once I have a better idea of how this one is performing.

Thats weird because I just checked and mine definately has a "W" at the end not an "H". Wonder how that can be?
As for reformatting it as FAT32 - how long has that been workign for now. Seems some of these fixes like the reg fix or the FAT 32 fix work for some people and not for others

Okay, I found my first problem with this firmware: Vodafone Mail (242) voicemail icon alerts no longer work. The SMS alert doesn't seem to come through either. So no audio/vibrate alert either. D'oh!
On the other hand there is a new "VMail" Today screen plugin which does show you how many voicemails you have waiting. I guess the software is automatically processing the SMS alerts rather than treating them as normal voicemail messages. Which is an improvement (I always resented having to delete the old SMS notifications) but I'd still like to have the option of having an audio/vibrate alert for new voicemails (useful when you have call waiting disabled) as well as the spool icon which saves on Today screen space.
The protocol version thing is wierd. I definitely have HSDPA now - an "H" logo appears in place of the 3G one when I use data. Are there perhpas two variants of this ROM image circulating? I got mine from the Rapidshare link above.
Hey guys...
Sorry I was late on responding to this...
I can say that this ROM IS the official one, Vodafone are still trying to work a way on advertising and delivering you the ROM's...
On the case of the H and 3G logo's on the top bar. This is to indicate that you have HSDPA enabled coverage or 3G coverage.
I personal haven't updated to this version due to a number of reasons, so you'll have to let me know if you can make calls when the H is shown, in the States I could with the old ROM but not over here...
As for the Voice Mail, if that is the case removing them after delivery is a school boy error!!! tsk, tsk!!!

Did you allow the Ext ROM to run? I believe that VF use a cab in there to turn on the voice mail notifications (part of the service indiciation security policy)

Yes, I installed the new VF Ext ROM and allowed it to run. I might take a look at it's contents to see if I can manually run it again. (Not keen on doing a hard reset as it took me a couple of hours to reconfigure all my apps and seetings after the ROM update.)

You're right! I can't make calls when the H is shown! After several attemps H is replaced by 3G and call goes through.
Incidentally it only seems to go into HSDPA mode as and when I initiate a data connection. During the course of the connection it will often switch back to 3G and, without fail, does so after the connection is dropped (manually). Is this normal behaviour?
Previously (with the factory-provided Vodafone ROM) I didn't get an 'H', and my ROM version ended in W, implying no HSDPA. Nevertheless I did have SetHSDPA enabled using the fit4cat HTweakC and there were often times (in 3G coverage) when I couldn't make calls until after several attempts.
I definitely have the W version. Got it from rapidshare, no idea why it is different to yours. No problems with making calls. I used set hsdp to on but the icon still says 3g however downloads at 1.2mb so definitely switched on. No problems at all with voice mail icon, works completely as normal. Only issue is still with the storage card. Drives me bananas.
Cheers

I rang Vodafone about the voicemail problem. They've said they'll send me a replacement handset on Monday! Will be interesting to see what the firmware version on that one is.
Okay, this is really wierd. I tried doing a hard-reset and now the voicemail problem is gone! Plus I checked the Device Information and the Radio ROM version has changed to the 'W' version. As with Barneyabz there is no 'H' icon to indicate HSDPA but now calls can actually be made when HSDPA is enabled.
Why should the hard reset have made any difference?
And the VMail today screen plugin no longer works now that the spool icon and text alerts are working again. I really don't understand.
Okay I've done some more investigating... I flashed another Radio ROM (1.43, Protocol 'H') and found I had the same voicemail and HSDPA calls problem. I then did a hard reset and found it was fixed with the protocol (and behaviour) had changed to 'W'.
I can only assume that there is some customisation in the extended that changes this. Yet I ha dprevious tried manually running the auto-customisations from extended rom without any joy.
I might do some further digging. (Probably not just yet, however!)

Has anyone figured out a fix for the GPRS connection with the new T-Mobile ROM 1.60.07? My GPRS used to always be connected and now everytime I turn off the phone, the GPRS disconnects. In addition, I think some of the battery life problems come when the phone turns itself on (screen and all) to check e-mail (as set up in the Inbox settings). It used to check the e-mail silently without turning on the screen and then sound a notification tone.
I wasn't sure if anyone knew if this was a simple registry setting or a problem only solved with a Phone Stack upgrade?
Any help would be appreciated.
JBW
I've just upgraded to 1.60.00WWE (the radio stack is 1.60.01) and noticed the exact same thing. I did a lot af searching on Google and these symptoms are not mentioned anywhere, in general everyone is saying that the upgrade went fine and the device runs better than before, so it seems we are in the minority. Hopfully this is good news, and there's just something dumb that is not configured properly.
I also have the same problem ( and my friends with xda-2 ) all was fine befor the upgrade, But now the GPRS disconets , No good for MSN Messanger
John
I heard this from several users on several forums.. a lot didn't notice, but there was enough who did to make me not upgrade.. once the imate update came out i asked around for people that used that if their grps disconnected.. it didn't, so i upgraded with that ROM instead of the t-mobile one. Sorry for you guys =/

GPRS Fix
See the post above this one. Apparently if you delete the file TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB from the extended ROM and hard reset, the GPRS stays on. You do lose the little GPRS timer but who cares!
I'm going to try it tomorrow and will report back.
JBW
Success! Sort of...
Well, I took some advice and changed my Ext_ROM. I took out all of the T-Mobile stuff and put in a bunch of the programs I always have to re-load myself. Then, the Hard Reset!
Bam! Now I have Always on GPRS again. However, apparently, one of the files in the Ext_ROM must also have the Bluetooth Fix with it. Now, I don't have the option of COM4 and COM5 for Bluetooth communications from before.
Does anyone know which of the files in the Ext_ROM this might have been? I am reluctant to try them one by one for fear of messing up the GPRS again.
Any help is appreciated!

Bluetooth Fix for Serial profile
I believe is between this two
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
Total Success... finally!
Well, thank you thariman for your help. I am very pleased now. I installed the two files from the ext_rom:
OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
The first gives Bluetooth Settings the option for in and out COM ports. The second assigns these ports to COM4 and COM5.
Now, I have the Bluetooth fix to use my GPS and wireless sync AND the always on GPRS.
I hope everyone figures this out. I guess T-Mobile does not want users to have the always on GPRS connection. In seems to be disabled via there customization. Seems strange though considering their pricing is for unlimited use.
Anyway, I'm happy with my set up now! Good luck to all.

Hi I have been using a V1605 now since HT626 Release and now on the V1605 HT642 (4 exchanges) and I am looking to use a ROM/Radio which is most stable. I have tried a few but getting a bit bored or reloading my software each time.
My Problems so far have been
1)Incoming calls dont ring or display on the phone & sometime they just get engaged tone instead of voice mail (I am on T Mob if that helps)
2)Bluetooth Headset keeps disconnecting and need a phone reboot (Jabra BT500)
3)MS Voice Command over bluetooth keeps switch between phone and headset when i am giving a command.
Thanks in advance
Solar, where are you located? I assume either US or UK based on TMo being your carrier...
I am in the UK.
Oh ok. Sorry mate, I'm in the US, so I'm not sure I could properly answer you. I have the original HTC ROM on my Tytn, and I love it. No noticeable issues for me... yet. I haven't had it that long, so things could come up.
I'm using ROM version 1.18.255.3, 7/22/06, radio 1.03.03.10 - which is the ROM that came with my unlocked HTC phone. On the Cingular network in the U.S.
I have occasional bluetooth problems where bluetooth shows that it's on, but I have to cycle bluetooth off and on again to make it work. Frequent lockup problems requiring a soft-reset every 2 to 3 days.
Given that, I would say that this is probably not the ROM you want if you use the same software environment I'm using:
Pocket Informant 7
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Diary
SPB Weather
On the positive side, I've had zero problems with the phone side of the device -- I don't miss calls, haven't dropped calls, and can rely on it, even on 2 hour conference calls. I get the same or better reception as I did with my Nokia 8125 and HTC Wizard. I just have to power cycle it every 2 to 3 days to keep it working well.
Thanks for the info i have been using the latest HTC with radio 1.20 and seems to be ok as long as i dont leave the data coonection on (3G,GPRS)

I have the same combination as you. What happens if you leave the data on? I don't seem to be having an issues
3G/UMTS
We have been getting the same issues - for example:
1. Needing to redial on a number of occassions to make an outgoing call;
2. Incoming calls disconnecting when attempting to answer;
3. Calls dropped out...and others
All this seems to be under control now that I have turned off UMTS.
Hope that helps.

Jason, I seem to have the same issues with my M3100 - HERM100 when using my car´s BT handsfree (BMW X5). My radio ROM is V23. I was trying to switch UMTS off but all I found was an auto switching of networks 900 MHz - 2100 MHz, which I switched to 900-... instead of AUTO.
WHERE CAN I SWITCH UMTS COMPLETELY OFF ?
I have seen many, many threads about POST installation issues regarding the new 3.16 rom. I would like to attempt a problem/resolution thread that hopefully everyone will participate in order to create a "one-stop-shopping" thread regarding these issues.
I figure the mods will later either delete dormant threads or compile related threads into one. Hopefully we can get most if not all issues related to post installation here and properly labeled...
Please post problem(s) and if applicable, the resolution(s) to the problem regarding the 3.16 rom w/ Rev. A & GPS compatibility, including custom & stock rom. Please keep the thread limited to calls, data ( Rev. A & 0 plus Ev & 1X), task bar icons, prl's, etc and refer GPS questions/issues to threads like TalynOne's The Titan Internal GPS FAQ (01/30/2008) located here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431
I have included below some links to start off the thread which includes a link to the definition of what the PRL is and what it does and below that is a site with former & current PRL's for numerous carriers.

I flashed this ROM and I have since, jumped to DCDs version of it, and then back to 2.17.
I have, and apparently, a lot of folks have had inconsistent EVDO connection problems. Some times it freezes on "Loading"...other times, I can begin to pull up a web page and it times out. Speeds were good when it rarely did work properly.
The odd thing is that I have loaded new ROMS (including the current Sprint OEM ROM) and I'm still having that problem. (I'm taking suggestions to resolve this)
Also, like others, voice signal displayed fewer bars than usual. More "Signal Faded, Call lost than I have ever seen with this device.
On a kinda more positive note...
GPS worked well (when the EVDO connection did)
New Apps sucked up more of our previous RAM, but I didn't have any
latency or freeze ups.
I myself am experiencing a number of problems with the new ROM version, and will be downgrading to 2.17 soon. It took 3 installations of the new ROM to get the GPS to work. Since then, I've experienced several performance issues, including multiple times where the phone will freeze during web browsing in Opera Mobile. Sometimes, the phone won't even freeze, but will come up with a screen saying that the system memory is low, even when I'm only running Opera Mobile, it'll ask me to close either "Opera Mobile" "Phone" "Phone" or "Phone". Weird? I think so...
Also, there are times where I won't even get the internet to work. I'll have to either go in to the connections menu and disable the data connection, or do a soft reset of the phone completely.
In my opinion, it's probably more trouble than I really need to go through. I will be downgrading to 2.17 until the official release comes out.
Same issues for me:
inconsistent EVDO connection problems. Some times it freezes on "Loading"...other times, I can begin to pull up a web page and it times out. Speeds were good when it rarely did work properly.

Spent 30 min with VZW level 2 support today. I called due to ##debug HDR an/aaa was = 0.. I was under the impression was supposed to be set to 1. They did look at my SSDR (I think he said that) and found it had a small issue with the authentication (still reads =0), but after he fixed that I still have issues. My HDR RDX power goes from -71db to -96db.
I also noticed every time I call the phone changes from EV to 1x. I know you don't use EV to make voice calls, but I did not remember (key word) seeing it switch like that before. Maybe someone with 2.17 1.40 radio can confirm.
I have thought about moving back too, but my call ticket history is getting pretty long with VZW and if I needed another A-key (yes I have one written down) it may start to look strange.
I'm on sprint and when I tried to update I was stuck on boot loader so I went online and switched esn over to my Treo for the time being as I worked on my Mogul. Eventually I got to load the rom fully and switched esn back. I noticed afterwards that my internet was only locking at 1x. Upon restart it would say EV but anytime it is connected to the net it is 1x. DSLreports clocked it at 50-90kbps so I know as definitely getting 1x speed. Reloaded the rom several times and still the same. This went on for 2 days. Eventually called Sprint and told them of my problem. They noticed that I was still on the regular Vision plan but I have always been able to connect to EVDO speeds so I never thought that was an issue. They updated me to Power Vision and right after I started getting EVDO speeds. I'm not sure if it was because of the change or maybe a restart of my data service that did the trick.
2 other issues I'm having is I noticed my phone is a little slow with this ROM. Opening programs etc. Sometimes the program using GPS like Live Search or GPS Viewer will lock up temporarily. The 2nd issue is what some are also reporting regarding signal. I noticed I get 1 to 2 less signal bars.
Overall 3.16 has been "ok". No problems with flashing really, and memory usage is "ok", I'm averaging around 17-18mb free with no apps running. It's not exactly the 20-22mb I had free with my prior custom rom, but enough to get by.
I'm not having problems with phone freezes or out of memory errors. I am, however, having some problems with BT and with net connectivity.
Data: I'm using Schap's Advanced config tool, version 1.1, and I've selected the option to keep my 'net connection live all the time. Unfortunately, this is not working, and I'm finding that throughout the day my connection goes down. With my prior custom rom, if I was streaming audio content over evdo or 1x, the connection would stay alive as long as the audio program was running, barring a loss of cell signal. Now I'm finding that about once an hour my data connection goes down and interrupts my audio stream.
BT: I have a Plantronics 320 headset, which worked flawlessly (albeit with less than stellar audio quality) with my prior rom. With 3.16, the volume and sound quality are much improved, BUT I am not able to answer calls on my headset. If I initiate a call with BT on, no problems, I can talk till the call is over, then press the headset hard button to hang up. If I *receive* a call, however, when I press the headset hard button to answer, the call is answered, but the audio is not directed to the headset. Instead, it routes to the handset.
GPS works well with TeleNav, GoogleMaps, Live, and generally locks onto 5-7 satellites within about 60 seconds if I'm somewhere with a clear view of the sky.
I tried using GPS2Blue to redirect the GPS data to a BT comm port. When I have BT enabled and attempt to redirect, GPS2Blue says BT port not open, waiting for BT port to open. If I go into comm manager and turn BT off, then GPS2Blue says BT port is open, and begins to wait for a BT connection to my laptop. If I go back into comm manager, the BT icon has been grayed out as if BT is off, but the little circled "X" icon is not superimposed over the BT icon as it would be when BT is off. If I click the icon again, it acts as if BT is being enabled, but the icon doesn't change, and the BT LED does not begin to blink. Don't know if it's a problem with GPS2Blue software or something else. Wish it would work cleanly, I'd love to use my 6800 as a BT GPS receiver for my laptop.
ETA: I've seen a few folks mention that when they answer a voice call their 6800 switches from Evdo to 1X. I'm wondering if this might be a way of implementing simultaneous voice & data. Has anyone tried taking a call and browsing the web simultaneously? I think this may be dependant upon network services in your area, so this may only work for folks in big cities with the most advanced network features, if it works at all...
ETA2: Just tried the above, and I'm getting the usual message that data connections cannot be initiated while on a voice call. I'm in a large city that *should* have all the latest network features, so if it dual voice/data was possible with this radio then it should work here. I'm assuming it's not presently possible, based on my experiment, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

is a big thread about this going on the main board.
Took the plunge and installed the "stock" 3.16 on both my phone and a friend's last night. The first thing I want to note is that it went extremely smooth. No issues to note. It took a bit too long for my liking but it was fine. I didn't have to modify any MSID or MSN data - my phone worked fine right off the bat. Data was hosed, but a quick client-initiated IOTA Programming fixed that. (Settings, Personal, Phone, Services, Internet, Get Settings)
I have two constantly pinging(one 15 mins, one 30) e-mail accounts(one imap, one Exchange) that must keep my data connection alive. I haven't noticed a single decline in my data rate, nor a problem with disconnections. Then again, I live in NYC, which may make a difference.
GPS sucked last night - I couldn't get a satellite to save my life. On the way to work today, though, it was perfect. 4 satellites found in GMaps and tracking worked great.
I'm pretty happy w/the new additions to PocketOutlook too. Has anyone noticed that Gmail's IMAP works perfectly now, and that when you have multiple accounts - hitting messaging (when it's previously closed) brings up a choice of which account to go to? SWEET!
Just a quick "me too" regarding both disconnects and getting hung up during certain downloads. I've noticed that both "Live Search" from Microsoft's site and the latest (2.17) OEM ROM from HTC's site both hang up soon after they start downloading. This occurs both on the phone itself and while tethering to my laptop.

So the phone made me out to be a liar. The LiveSearch download from wls.live.com failed now. It definitely worked last night on my roommate's phone however. Hrm. I downloaded it from my pc and emailed it to myself and it actually downloaded. That's odd.

Had trouble getting my phone to flash, because I flashed the radio before the rom. Once I got phone going is working perfect. Hooked up to pda net on laptop downloading at 1.7 uploading at 500K. Use Holux to get gps started all programs work, Tom Tom is more accurate with my mogul compared to the external gps. Have not tried my s9 headphones yet. Running the DCD beta and I have no complaints except for the memory. Phone quality is the same.
v3.16+ ROM puts a voicemail icon on the 1 key which screws up the keypad if you are using the BlueFrog Big Button Dialer. To fix this, change the registry DWORD value at
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\EnableVoicemailIcon
from 1 to 0, and soft reset.
I was running Custels V1.1 2.14 and radio 1.47.00. I had my data set to connect all the time (which never idled btw...)and had Ev service everywhere. After installing Dcd's 3.16 & radio 3.27 I first recieved the "twin towers"... One had data connection and the other looked like the searching-for-signal tower. Plus my roam indicator was constanlty blinking.
After searching the forums, a helpful soul recommended *228 then press 3 which programs your phone. Remember that you are not upgrading to a new phone.
I then *228 and pressed 2 this time to program the latest PRL (which was 30029 before and still then). After searching some more, I saw that there was indeed a newer PRL which is 40029 (link in the first thread). I downloaded the PRL to my Sd card, dialed **775, entered my Alltel Unlock Code of 000000 and and the first screen I saw was update prl. Click on "Menu" in bottom right and hit the "Edit" button. Now you should see a empty value with "Browse" below it. Browse to the location where you placed your prl, upload and if you exit out correctly, you should be soft resetting your device.
After completeing the steps above, my roaming triangle was gone as well as the extra tower. I still have my data constantly on with Ev coverage all the time but my data actually idles now. Call quality has been noticed by myself and others as clearer and louder than before.
That Reg Entry doesnt exist on mine.

Mine has the following instead:
"HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\VoicemailIcon
Value name:BtnDN_LAND Value data:Windows\_VoicemailBtn1_Land.bmp" and three other similars.
Should that entry be added in it's entirety or should I remove my current entries? Any body else find they have entries like mine?
I thought I had that problem at first, but when I looked more closely, the reg entry is *in* the CDMA folder, not in a sub-folder below CDMA.
!!Major Bluetooth Issue!!
recently installed DCD's new GPS enabled ROM for Verizon. Everything has been working well even the GPS !!EXCEPT!! Bluetooth OBEX. When I try to send / beam any type of file my XV6800 stops responding and I am forced to soft reset.
I don't know if this only affects the Verizon ROM or all carriers for that matter. Is there any one here that has a fix or know's of a fix to resolve this issue? Has DCD released any news on this? I would Gladly appreciate it, as all the people with this issue.
Searching For Service
I loaded the Sprint Test Rom. No when ever I boot my phone it takes ~4 minutes for the phone to lock onto the network.
You are may differ with this situation....
PRL's didn't change. Even reloaded 60610. EVDO roaming is gone. Guess they didn't like people forcing their phone to roaming in areas where Alltel has EVDO and Sprint doesn't. 60611 also removed EVDO roaming in my area. 60610 and 2.17 work fine with EVDO roaming.
CardExport & the My Documents-redirect-to-SD-card reg tweak:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory
change the value of the string "Folder" to "My documents"
no longer work.

Thank you very much for your overall contribution jcespi2005!
Yeah a Radio extract would be cool..maybe it will improve GPS and reception in the US on AT&T.

Added details to the wiki, posted the radio in the wiki also.
Completed the various details. Enjoy
Mirror for the Radio upgrade only...

Thanks guys - just flashed the radio and will see how the gps is.
Everyone talks AT&T here. Does anyone use T-Mobile? Will this radio work on T-Mobile network?
any feedback on the radio?
i am more interested in the radio than the OS...
Ok. Flashed. Does not make much difference to me. I have not noticed if it is any better or worse yet. And well, I should say no 3G for me, unless there is the way to make the TP work with 1700 Mhz.
Over here, reception hasn't improved. I hope it's drains less from my battery.

Thx!
gracias majo =)
downloading radio only now. I use AT&T here in the U.S.
installed it last night. the reception seems to be the same. same with the battery usage. the only thing i couldn't make it work was the gps. i tried different options and I think is a radio issue. worked well with the .05 radio of the diamond and the .16 from cingular.
hope this helps.
This Radio didn't agree with me.
Had trouble locking on to satellites, for some reason the HSDPA was constantly on and it gave my phone an annoying bug where the busy animation constantly showed when I started IGO.
Haven't noticed any changes to the signal strength.
I am on Three and in the UK by the way.

Same here. No gps
My GPS works fine after installing this radio. I think installing the radio resets the GPS like new again. I ran GPS Test with cold start and it locked onto 10 satellites within a couple minutes. I pulled Googles maps up and it got a lock in 15seconds with 10-12 sattelites.
Download GPS test
download quickGPS data again
start GPS Test with cold start and let it lock on to sattelites for about 2-5minutes.
close GPS test
start up your GPS program i.e. google maps and you should get a lock within 15seconds.
So far I have not noticed any difference between my stock radio and this one. Haven't really had a chance to test out GPS lag yet though to see if its better.
I guess I'll hang on to this radio until a better one comes out.
My installation has been working fine and I even managed to increase battery life by installing "Juice".
Suddenly, about 3 days ago I noticed the phone was saying no signal. I was clearly getting data, as my apps worked and I was getting eMail alerts and downloads, but no calls.
I tried restarts, but to no avail. I am using Rod_100 UK as I am on Vodafone UK... I assume it is correct, certainly worked for the past month.
I have had to revert back to Windows Mobile.
My immediate thoughts are it is Juice that is causing it. I have just logged back in to my XDAndroid to write this and Juice did not load, and guess what, the signal has come back.......
Just in case is there anything else to look for?
Never heard of "Juice". I have heard of JuiceDefender however...
If you don't have the issue on a clean install, I'd say that app (or one of many I'm assuming you have installed) is the culprit. Rename your data.img and boot, see what happens.
Yes, it is JuiceDefender, apologies for the abbreviation.
I un-installed it and I have network again, but I guess I will loose battery longevity again, not that it made a huge difference.
I'll keep my eye on it....
Still no improvement
No, still not working. I get no signal, when I am in eye shot of a mast and on WM I get a full signal. I am booting in to WM to a deluge of SMS messages that I had not received, mostly vMail notifications, to which the messages are from calls that I did not receive.
The radio is not as strong and keeps dying on me requiring a reboot
I dont know what exactly but some program is giving android problems

All I can say is do the standard mess.
Make sure you're up to date.*
Delete (move, rename) data.img.
Format SD. Full format. HP tool.
*There's a lot of testing stuff flying around right now too, making that difficult admittedly. Hopefully the auto-build service will return soon, and all the madness will get committed soon!
Check in your startup file forcecdma=0. I had that problem too.

OK, I have tried deleting the data.mag
Didn't work
Have just changed "force_cdma=0" to "force_cdma=X" Will see if this works and feed back
My gut feeling is it is something to do with "JuiceDefender".

Uhm, you replace X with a value. 0 if you're GSM, 1 if you're CDMA....

Well I took it literally, as I have no idea, sorry. I'll put it back... Anyway, I have another problem now anyway. Having made the change it will not boot. I checked the permissions and it is not "Executable" any more. I have tried changing it but it will not let me. How do I fix this - I am accessing via my laptop which is Ubuntu (Linux).
Can you help, please?

What is not "Executable" any more... haret.exe?
The startup file
Sorry, ignore me.
After the change, I double clicked the Android shortcut to launch Android, but it would not start, so I assumed the file had to be executable (as it was the only item I had changed)... I had forgotten to disconnect my TP2 from my laptop!
I've done so now and it has launched. A stupid user errorhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I'll keep you posted on any changes.
Ha, fair enough. Enjoy.
Solved. Keep loosing Radio
OK. I tried all the above. Delete data.img, and check the startup script/cmd.... none worked. At some point I would loose the network connection.
As it started within days of loading JuiceDefender and its components and from the description of how it works - controls the running apps including radio and data transfer, I always suspected it to be the root cause. After the other checks failed I tried removing all Juice Defender apps and since then c30hrs I have not experienced any loss of communication.
Thanks everyone for your help, and I hope this will be of use to anyone else suffering from loosing radio/ signal.

It has been a number of days now and I have not experienced the same issue, so my conclusion is that it is the JuiceDefender that caused the problem.
The down side now is that I get 7am to 4pm battery life as opposed to 7am to 7pm.... But atleast I can receive and make calls!
A note: The signal strength on the project image is not as strong as the WM6.5, but I am sure that is a known issue.

Hrm, didn't realize that app would help out that much. But, it makes sense if it's turning off all your radios lol.
Anyhoo, have you seen the kernel I posted from WisTilt2? It has full panel collapse, and battery life is astounding with it.
Code has yet to be committed, as he still has some work to do for the AUO panels (select RHOD100's basically) - so unless you have one of those you can reap the benefits of his new code .
(bzo got nearly 65 hrs with the radio on, sync off - 100% sleep.)
Looks interesting, but where do I download the latest version... I don't plan reading all the threads! And IF I installed would I loose all my settings and apps?
Update
It has been a while since I did all this tinkering, during which time there has been an update.
What I find I get is sometimes (c every couple of days) the meter says I have signal but nothing connects with a message "no network". Also, but far more frequent, as with today where it has occurred 3 times, I dial a number and nothing happens. It says ringing but there is no ring tone and it never seems to connect. I then shut the call down either by using the hang up button or the soft hang up key. The screen then changes to "Hanging Up" but again sits there indefinitely. The only solution id to do a restart.....
Any ideas?
PS: any news on when the bluetooth and camera will be working...?
I have found that any app that acts as a task killer of any sort (juice defender must in someway stop apps to save battery) can also kill your connection. I found this out while using xdandroid and it became immiediately clear when I stopped using the task killer my bars and data proved to be more consistant! Hope that helps.
