Anyone tested radio roms in .se ?
I think that 1.47.00.10 is the best yet.
All roms above disconnects me when driving around in car..
Same problem for me.
I've tried every radio from 1.51 and worked my way downwards. I'm currently trying 1.35.0.11.
The problem with dropped calls during driving disappeared, but now i get dropped calls when standing still instead. If I do a soft reset, the phone works normally for some time before it starts dropping calls again.
Tested new 1.47.30.10 ?

Each radio is calibrated for the network it was designed for. So, I would first test the radios that were made for the 3 network in Sweden as they will most likely produced the best results; all other radios would produce mixed/subjective results.
And how do I know which radios that are made for 3;s network in Sweden ?
I've tried the radio version that I found in one of the instructions on 3's support-page (1.38.00.10)
http://www.tre.se/upload/Programvara/mob/Instruktioner_uppgradHTCTyTN.pdf
That didn't work any better than the rest I've tested.
1.35.0.11 worked like a charm for some days, with minor bugs, until just recently when the phone began dropping calls again..
I will try with 1.47.30.10 later today.
1.47.30.10 worked in the same way as the other "newer" radios did:
Not moving = Good!
Moving = Dropped calls. You CAN NOT be in a moving vehicle since roaming between your operators antennas or changing from 3G to GSM disconnects the call immediately.
The "older" radios works fine for a random timelimit, then a soft reset is needed. Roaming doesn't seem to disconnect calls.
Would it help if i changed ROM / ExtROM?
Current setup:
Swedish WM 6, downloaded from HTC (3.54.263.2)
Radio: 1.27.00.00 (have tried every radio version that is newer without success..)
ExtROM: 3.54.263.102
Operator: 3
Area: Stockholm / Sweden
Fine. But I have 1.50 with Telia it works gr8

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.

Couple of days ago I flashed my Vario II with the HTC 2.05 ROM + 1.38.10 Radio ROM. Before that, I was happily using the SA HTC 1.35 ROM.
After updating the ROM, I noticed that I could send and recieve texts, but not make or recieve any calls. I though it was just a network problem so I spent yesterday in Brighton visitng my sister.
Now, although I couldn't make or recieve any calls at home, when I got down to Brighton I was able to call. When I got home to my girlfriends later that night, I was able to connect to the web and browse a few pages (missed MOTD and Rugby. Needed the scores!).
Back at home today, and I'm still getting the same problem. I've now tried Radio ROM's 1.38.10, 1.35 and 1.27 without any luck.
If I force the signal to GSM, the signal strength shows 2 bars, so pretty weak. If I set it to Auto, it states that 3G is available and at full strength! Clearly its being reported incorrectly?
Now, is it the case that the 3G signal is just about detectable but too weak to send and recieve calls? Because it can detect a faint 3G signal, is that why it appears not to be falling back on GSM? I'm guessing here.
If thats the case, why the hell did I not get any problems with the 1.18 Radio ROM is the SA firmware?
I've found the location of my local T-Mobile Mast, so I'm going to pop over near it so I can rule out a signal problem. But apart from that, is there anything else that could be causing this problem?
Hi there, I seem to be having the same problem.
I have a week old Vario II, as my mobile number has yet to be ported to Tmobile I am still using my old phone.
However, evening I tried making a call from my Vario II and just received 3 beeps and a hang up. When the intended caller tried to call me back the phone rang but again ended the call after 1 ring. I tried a couple of different SIM cards with the same results.
I had SIM unlocked and SuperCID'd the handset a few days ago, and thought I may have buggered something up along the way so I done a hard reset. This time the 3G icon didn't appear but I was able to make calls. A few minutes later the 3G icon appeared and once again I was back to not being able to make/receive calls.
Gurubumsmack, have you managed to resolve your issues at all ?
Also being a bit wet behind the ears with the Hermes, what OS, Radio builds would you recommmend ?
Thanks, Dan
Try forcing the Band to GSM instead of Auto (3G) and see what happens.
Mine is now working perfectly with the 1.38.10 Radio. I left it on GSM for a couple of days and then slapped it back to Auto (3G). Has been fine for about a week now touch wood.
The only fault I can put it down was a local transmitter issue.
I'm currently using the HTC 2.11 WM5 AKU3.3 ROM, which comes with the 1.38.10 Radio. Stability is top notch and speed great.
I decided to hold off flashing to WM6 until development on that settles down a bit. Literally a new ROM being released every week over there!
It's true that 2.11 WM5 AKU3.3 combined with 1.38.10 RADIO is rocking stable...
Last week I updated my Radio to 1.48.
A few days ago I started doing tests by calling my PDA from my home number (testing the callerID function of Slide2Unlock) and realized that almost all calls would ring and then go to voicemail without my mobile ringing. Looking into it more and talking to people that call me on a regular basis, I realized that I am getting a lot of missed calls on my phone.
I reverted back to 1.47 and did the same tests with the same number of missed calls.
Going back to 1.43, my mobile now rings on the first ring, every time.
Seems like 1.43 is the better Radio for Rogers (Toronto)
I don't think it is only Rogers.
I was running 1.47 for a while ... a lot of network disconnects, so I thought the upgrade to 1.48 would make it better ... it made it worse, WAY worse. I am now back on 1.43 with no problems at all
1.48 perfect for me with FIDO. (or rogers if you want to be technical). It is not the Radio. I have been testing various ROMs. Some work better than others with the radios. I find those ROMs what were cooked with the PTT removed has issues.....
If I use ROMs that were originally without the PTT, I experience no issues what so ever with 1.48.
maybe you can get walshieu to give you 1.49 ?

Hello Landyman,
As you know there is a problem in SA on all the radio ROM versions.
Leaf are aware of it as it is network related.
They will shortly be releasing a WM5 and WM6 version with a new radio specific to our network.
At present it is on test with the networks.
Regards

I recently switched to the Sleuth Developer v3 ROM, does it fit the above category? I can always revert bach to the Schaps 3.57a ROM and try 1.48 again...

You mentioned it in another thread as well, IIRC.
From my experience, with our current situation, 1.43 works best (for me in any case)
I used 1.48 for about a week, had problems with reestablishing connections and some missed calls. Switched back to 1.47 with no issues. The Radio that rogers came out with for there system is 1.42, unfortunatly there is no update for this Radio until there is an update from Rogers. The only way to get it is to buy the phone from Rogers. And before it is asked it can't be dumped.
Same problem,

Would you recommend 1.47? I used it for a short while and it seemed OK. Did not test it as thoroughly as 1.48.
BTW, thank you for yor Rogers settings cab. Just found it yesterday and it saved me a lot of manual setting up.
As much as I am sorry others were having this problem, I'm glad I'm not the only one! After trying both 1.47 and 1.48 and missing calls to the point that my wife thought I was ignoring her, I finally went back to 1.43 and have been golden. Soooo.... you're not the only one.

I too missed about 6 calls today with 1.47, I am going back to 1.43, That Radio with Rogers has always been reliable.
Yes.
3.57a seems to be no issue for me.

In Montreal area,I tried 1.47 few days ago, often i had to dial twice to make a call, and the earpiece volume is lower than others. then change to 1.43, i missed many calls, but phone was ON, with reception, but all calls went to VM. then i changed it back to 1.41 yesterday. everything back to what a PHONE should be. sometimes, simpler is better...
With Fido using a 8525 with BB connect in Calgary. I was until recently, using the last wm5 ATT ROM which worked with BB connect. Missed calls with 1.48, so went back to 1.43. Now with vp3g wm6 BB connect version, decided to try 1.48 and the same missed calls issue. Back to 1.43 and everything is fine.
I noted this problem back on the 12th of July and was told by numerous members of this community I was crazy, "the radio's wouldn't have been released if it had this problem".

Now there's several threads popping up with users finally noticing this problem.. One person has suggested those suffering with this issue have older SIM cards - which I do - so maybe this is the problem? (Don't see how, but whatever, worth noting the age of my card.)
My Sim is at least 3 years old now... I'll play with a newer sim when I get a chance and report back.
I also had issues with 1.48 missing calls and losing signal for long periods of time while driving through bad coverage areas. Switched back to 1.40.30.00 and all is well now, receive all calls and when i drive through bad coverage area quickly reacquires signal

My SIM card is about 4 months old - definitely not an issue with an old card.
I wish I had noticed your earlier posts on the topic, I would never have upgraded to 1.47 or 1.48 if I had.
Do you have one of the "newer" HSDPA SIMs? I'm not sure if much has changed in the SIMs from older gen to newer gen - but I haven't noticed the dropped call issue with 1.48 and Schaps latest ROM.

Yes, I have the new HSDPA sim. Have not tried 1.48 with Schaps latest (installed it today) but am hessitant to upgrade the radio in case it does not work. I am back at work now and cannot afford any missed calls.
UPDATE: Installed 1.48 and tested - even though my phone immediately detected a 3G network (does not do it with 1.43) upon calling myself, 2 out of the 3 calls resulted in a missed call. Reverting back to 1.43.
UPDATE2: Reverted back to 1.43 and tested. My phone did not immediately register the network as 3G but all calls (3) rang to my phone on first ring.
I've just upgraded my Vodafone 1605 to WM6 successfully, and updated my radio version. The problem I'm faced with now is that my device hunts for signal whenever I'm indoors and simply wont find one until I go outside.
Does anybody have any suggestions or fixes for this? I've tried various radio versions and I'm currently on 1.43.00.00 with the same issues.
Phone details:
ROM version - 3.54.255.3
Radio Version - 1.43.00.00
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Thanks in advance.
This is almost certainly the Radio Upgrade - newer doesn't always mean better because they are often released optimised to a specific carrier.
Try 1.48 or 1.38 (I find 1.38 works well in most parts of the world).
Could you please link to either one of those upgrades?
I'm literally tearing my hair out here and can't find them - Thanks for your understanding.
*EDIT*
Found this wonderful website....I guess it's just trial and error now!

Okay, I've just updated to radio version 1.48 and I'm still getting no signal....
Any ideas guys? I'm getting ready to chuck this phone against a wall...
I had really bad reception until I used 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697
I've already tried that ROM and still the same thing...
I'm wondering if it's a problem with this windows install....?
Okay, another update on this...I've tried 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT again (so that's my current ROM) and I'm still getting no signal.
When the SIM is in my old Sony Ericsson it works fine...so it's definately not network coverage issues.
So far the ROMS i've tried are:
1.38
1.43
1.48
1.54
None of them have meant I get coverage in this room, where I used to be able to get it no problem before with my old Hermes. (This one was sent as an exchange from Vodafone due to my last one having screen issues).
Plllleeaaassseee help
Yet another update.
I've just done the following in an attempt to remedy the situation:
Unlocked the phone to take and SIM.
Flashed the Radio to 1.48 ROM.
Flashed the phone to Windows mobile 6 HTC release.
Still...no signal.
Is this now a hardware issue?
Is your SIM card old? There are some reports of some older cards not working too well when using the 3G, HEDGE or EDGE networks.
Try setting your phone to GSM only just to test this - otherwise I'm at a loss.
hmm same here affter a wm6 upgrade.
Noticed that my orange simcard does get reception indoors though!!
outdoors my vodafone gets reception (not always, but it does get gsm gprs connection) but indoors my vodafone prepaid card gets no reception at all..
Downgraded to the wm5 rom and 1.27 radio but still this problem stays.
On the choice of network providers i dont see the dutch vodafone activated? (unticked) it does find and see it but wont get on it.
After schaps 4.01 rom i noticed that with -g3 connection always on- vodafone did get connection but only on 3g (umts), as soon as i click on gsm only instead of automatic all signal strength is gone again.
I am now on the orginal wm5 rom and radio 1.27 but still no vodafone? is there blacklisting of any sorts by the poviders? My vodafone simcard is brandnew!
Please help
hmm
Seems it is a blocked imei. been reading a bit on this forum and something similar happened to another member..
Vodafone works for a while but then it crashes and you wont get contact with kpn vodafone tmobile anymore. only orange seems to work ok.
Must be a nicked phone. weird.. almost 100% sure that the phone isnt nicked.
Where can i check if an imei is reported stolen?
UPDATE: strangly enuff the tytn now works again with my vodafone sim, but only on 3G? .. also i checked and the phone workes great on orange and t-mobile, kpn it does not recognize.. but why did it start to work again on vodafone?
I have a T-Mobile Vario II, I have unlocked it, installed HARDSPL v7, installed radio 1.50.00 and it works fine with WM5.
However ANY version of 6.1 installed and the phone function goes to pot. To get a service network I have to manually configure it and then it shows a good signal.
Now if I try to dial a number it just says "dialling" but doesn't actually do anything until it times out.
It also doesn't accept incoming calls, it goes straight to answer phone.
Everything thing except SMS works fine.
I downloaded the official T-Mobile WM6 and this also works fine now, I can make and receive calls, the service network was picked up automatically.
I would like to upgrade to WM6.1 with a cooked ROM but don't know how to fix the above problems? Thanks for any suggestions......
Well, try changing your radio rom, reading around it seems that different ones have problems with different roms ect.
Im running 1.46.30.10 on T mobile UK 3G (I have the same Verio II as you)
(radio rom list: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms )
Plus this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364216
Fastest rom around imo, and I have tried almost all of the WM6.1 ones.
New radio
Thanks I will try that radio and then do another WM6.1 upgrade
Hmm
I would upgrade with the latest shipped WM 6.0 first, which comes with radio anyway.
The Verio should work with DOPOD ROM from here, looks like .00 is made for US and UK, 30.10 is made for down under, and 00.10 is made for general use, at least that's where I read somewhere.
Solved
I have solved this buy going to phone/settings/band and changing the network type to GSM instead of auto.
I have also changed my phone to a Vario 3 and the problem was exactly the same.
