hello...i currently have the 1.50 radio...but the battery life sucks...i havent tried 1.51 yet... but anyone on at&t sacramento please tell me what is the best radio to use! i have the unlimited internet plan so the more 3g hsdpa the better..pls. help!
1.41 or 1.48..
I'm from the east bay but make my way up to sac
I use 1.40...
What about Portland, OR area? I'm guessing the network wouldnt differ much on the west coast but i could be waaaay wrong.
1.48 works well in Vacaville.....
i like 1.14.01.10
Rancho Cordova
I use 1.48 on vp3G 3.0 rom. Battery life is ok, reception is so, so.

I'm in FolsomI use 1.48 on vp3G 3.6 rom. Ditto.
Was in middtown Sacramento last night (Starbucks on Alhambra). Using 1.54.07.00 radio, vp3G 3.62.0 ROM, about 8PM PST.
Connection showed 3G initially in Starbucks, and would switch to H as I browsed Ebay mobile. The connection was very fast - before I started browsing I ran a D/L test on DSL reports and chalked 760kbps on a 1MB file. I browsed with no problems for about 20-30 mins, but then lost the 3G/H signal. The phone searched for about five seconds, then connected as Edge. I'd use Edge data connection for a few minutes, then phone cycled to 3G/H for a few seconds, then lost 3G/H signal all over again. This happened about 7-10 times in a row. Overall I didn't experience a great deal of downtime - the phone found the Edge signal quite fast after losing 3G/H, but it was annoying.
Eventually I went outside and tried again from my car, parked across the street from Starbucks. Same pattern.
Because I was using 3G/H with no issues for about half an hour I'm inclined to chalk this up as a problem with the local tower, but am curious to hear if anyone else has encountered 3G/H connectivity issues in the Sacramento area with these versions of ROM and Radio.

Awesome... need this.
Thanks will test and see
Update from 1.51: So far signal strength and voice clarity seem to be a tad better. Out of a total of 14 calls, I did miss one of them for some reason. I'll test data speeds and other parts of my City and report later.
Can anyone out there let us know who are unable to update right now how this new rom works??? I wont be able to update until tonight or maybe tomorrow!
Just flashed from 1.51.00.10
Tested both for signal strenght with DHR Bandswitch and Tytn unmoved to the same point.
Results:
1.51 GSM: 74%, 3G: 61%
1.54 GSM: 75%, 3G: 67%
Data speeds and battery drain too soon to say
Awesome,
So fast,
Thanks a lot.
will this work with the X01HT Herm200?

Where are you located?
Just flashed from 1.51.00.10. Clear voice - fast data. Battery life YTBD.
So far this is the best radio for this area.
Just upgraded to:
HERM_Radinly_1.54.00.10_108_CustomRUU
From:
HERM_Radinly_1.47.30.10_CustomRUU
It's a hell of a lot better.. at least the data connection was. Handshaking (Data connection response for every data request) was a lot faster. Still yet to find out about battery life performance and voice calls. I'm in Manila, Philippines.. SMART Communications.
Thanks caxio for uploading.

Will it work good in PAKISTAN with Waridtecom???
i m just downloading
currently i m using 1.47....coz 1.51 have pooor signal strength and drains battery?
now after downloading i will check this and post my resuits/comments.
Upgraded from 1.51 on Orange Israel.
Seems to work OK.
I will test it in the next few days and report.
Meanwhile I had no problems with the 1.51 version except poor reception on very high buildings.
No reception with this radio in the SF Bay Area...
Hi all,
I am currently using Shamanix_WM6_Ultimate_v2_FINAL with radio rom version 1.5407.00 and I am looking for a better radio. The data speed (even over 3G) is not that great and the reception at my house is literally 1 bar. I was wondering if anyone out there that lives in the Atlanta, GA area is using a different radio rom version that gets better results than mine. I'm on the AT&T network.
Thanks in advance!
I also live outside Atlanta and I find the closer I get to home the more often my calls drop. I am running the same radio version and I too would like to know if there is a better radio version for the Atlanta area. I am on AT&T as well.
You guys should try several Radio and see which one proves to be the most compatible with your operator there in Atlanta.
Remember, flashing the radio stack will not cause a hard reset. So it does not hurt trying.
I visit the Atlanta area regularly and have exceptionally good speed and battery life with 1.54.30.10
i have been running into the same problems here in Houston since the Hurricance Ike and running the same version ya'll are. I am about to try 1.56.70.11. I will post my results later.

Thanks Zachoo! This radio rom is perfect!! I have been flashing radio stack after radio stack to try and find the best reception and battery life. I get much better reception, data transfers are quicker, and my battery life has increased by almost 30 percent!
Wondering if you can help me.
In my office my colleuge and I have an hd2 on UK o2 pay monthly. Untill about a month a go we were getting HSPDA internet access. Now we are only getting EDGE. I contacted o2 and they stated that the area is a very high coverage area and we should be getting HSPDA.
What makes matters more interesting is two other colleuges in my department in the same building, one has an iphone 3 and the other has an iphone 4, both guys are on uk 02 pay monthly and are getting full 3g access. I am getting 3g and hspda in other areas.
Does anybody know why we are getting edge instead of at least 3g?
thanks.
I had a very simillar issue, so perhaps the solution I found will work for you. A co-worker of mine bought an HD2 (immediately after seeing mine). In many areas at work the reception was terrible. I also noticed that at home, when I first had the phone I got 3G often, but after a few weeks I was suddenly stuck on the EDGE network (If I got any reception at all). Since messing around with the Android port I was forced to flash a new Radio ROM and it seems that was my problem all along. At home I now get constant full bars HSPDA. At work I get reception in places that I never did before. My coworker (still using stock radio) is having the same reception issues I used to have.
So my advice is try a few different radios and see if that helps.

Yea we did try that the other night thinking it might be a radio issue we went from 2.5 up to 2.12. What rom / radio did you use if you dont mind me asking?
Does anybody else have any ideas? This is happening with two ok uk hd2's in the office! My colleuge and I have tried multiple rom and radio upgrades but nothing is working but my other colleuge on iphone can get 3g sitting beside me
ive had this issue too, never knew how to fix it :/
AGHHHHHHHHHHHH Going to call o2 tomorrow and tell them I want to swap for a new phone, I am not getting the service I should be!!!
Ive tried just about everything I can think of. Ive tried updating the ROM, Radio, rilphone.dll - also tried going back to stock rom, yet my colleuge sits on his iphone right beside me on 3g its madness!
have you tryed puting your phone into flight mode then .ack on again let thephone pick the strongest hsdpa mast signal up. welcome to tbd way o2 works lol we get it all the time in york and leeds
That is a very interesting idea. I will try and report back thanks man!
I am really getting no ware with this. Phoned O2 and they tested phone in my network said that I should be ok I should have full hspda access, my colleuge is sitting on iphone with ull 3g and has a o2 dongle which has hspda access. I am getting fulll signal strength, changed the sim card and tried multiple radio and dll file combos and this is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.
I have been doing some further testing and found something interesting. When I am at home and can connect to HSPDA. I went into the base band and changed it to WMCDA got full access. I then changed it to GSM band and got Edge. I then went into work to test it and tried to force it to WMDCDA but it wouldn't even connect at all no coverage.
I tried it back on GSM and full coverage but only edge support. Any ideas?
I have been switchin Android roms and everything has been working fine until yesterday my 3g went to ____x signal or hopped from 1-3 bars. switchin to H sometimes also. most of the time its on Edge 3-4 bars. before this i had FULL BARS at home. im getting frustrated. i tried flashing a new rom and radio and android build. could it be hardware related?
dang nothin?
Where are you from, what area, what network, what settings are you using? Etc.

ive tried different APNs already also.. before the last couple days ive had Full 3G connection at home. now it flashes full 3g then goes down to 2 or goes to edge. sometimes no connection at all.
Hello...
Don't know if I'm posting on the correct thread, my apologies if I'm not. My question is for 3G & H speed. I've noticed that I get a good 3G and H connection on my HD2, but for some reason I don't see the speed on my computer when surfing the internet. I've checked the bars while surfing and it comes down to two bars for full bars, but don't see a good result out of it. When downloading a file.. it reaches up to 113kb but then falls between 30 and 10kb. I've restored my computer etc. I was on Elegancia rom, but currently on Energy with Froyostone V3.1. I'm also on radio 2.14... and tried 2.12... But no change in different radios. I have also gotten a new sim card too. Could it be my phone? Anyone with a solution or advice? Thanks in advanced.
I've just got a sim only contract for my hd2 with "unlimited" internet access, and the first thing i did was check the internet speeds on winmo using :http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 (Down: 0.119mb/s)
Then tested it using the ookla speedtest app on android (Hyperdroid, Bangsters, SuperHD2, mattc froyosense) all of them the newest build, and the highest I could get was 0.219mb/s, with a downlink of 0.19
I checked the 3g coverage in my area using the virgin media website and I've been told it's "VERY GOOD"...
Is this the speeds I'm meant to be getting? If so, it seems that I was expecting too much from my hd2 + virgin mobile combination.
Oh, one last thing, my brother with a 5800 Xpressmusic told me that he got speeds of 2.89mb/s, we're on the same virgin mobile network.
I know with Tmo I get around 2+mbs down. Just depends on your area and several other factors like network usuage in your area and so on and so on.

:O Must be the phone then, cos brother was trying it just 5 feet away from me, anyone with artemis rom in the same boat as me?
Update: Just went back to shubcraft build, and getting 0.5mb/s+ ... so, twice as much as bfr.
Oh, and forgot to mention, moved to the 2.14 radio ... Will try the other builds and see if its a build issue or a radio one.
How is that radio working for you with Shui's build?? Any probs with sound on incoming/outgoing calls?? You using PPP or RMNET?? PPP with that build I was getting high mid 2-3mbps.On this WinMo Rom I'm getting about 2mbps.
