Hi all
Perhaps we can share info re the above. Currently I am running the AKU3.3 test rom and radio 1.27.
It is by far the best combination I have used so far for Tmobile Uk. The battery life is far better than the original HTC rom and the signal aquisition seems much stronger. My only concern is that there seems to be a reluctance to switch from GPRS to either UMTS or HSDPA when on the move, my previous 1.18 rom although apparently less good at pulling in the signal would certainly be showing U or H more quickly when in an area of coverage. Has anyone tried the later 1.33 or 1.34 roms and found them any better?
Otherwise, this for me has my Tytn working superbly and doing everything I want. Heck, even TT6 works without freezing!
Rob
Ps This forum seems to be getting very slow, could it be all the downloading thats going on before the big switch off?
I need the best VERIZON radio to go along with dvd 3.2.3. Any offical verizon radio's?
I have 3.42.02 and i drop calls and have low signal, where i would have full coverage with my old Lg Voyager. I have tired 3.42.30 too.
The GPS isnt a big deal to me, JUST SERVICE TO PLACE CALLS
==================================================================
dcd 3.2.3 rom---sorry dcd
I am in a different boat than you. 3.39.10 dropped many calls for me and now rock solid with 3.42.30. Try 3.39.10 found in the Wiki section.
I am currently using the 3.42.02 radio with DCD 3.2.3 ROM. If I upgrade to the 3.42.30 radio, will I have to call Verizon to get a new A-Key? I did have to call Verizon when I upgraded from the default radio to the 3.42.02 one.

I had dcd 3.2.0 and upgraded my radio to 3.42.30 and didnt have to call verizon. I tried all different radio's going up and down and never had to call verizon.

You didn't even have to call Verizon when you upgrade the radio from the stock one? Wow, I had to call them to re-authenticate my phone.
Did you notice a difference between 3.42.02 and 3.42.30?

I bought my phone off ebay and the stock rom and radio was already removed... I tired 3.42.30 and i hated it. Dropped calls constantly...Other people have had nothing but outstanding performance from it. So its a trial by error thing I guess
Coming from DCD 3.0.4 and older radio, went to DCD 3.2.2 and radio 3.42.30. Reception doesn't seem to be much different than before but my battery life has increased dramatically. I don't have any factual comparisons but by estimation it's 50% better. I live and work in areas where EVDO is marginal so my phone is constantly switching between 1X and EVDO, maybe the new radio does in fact work better and my phone isn't constantly switching between them eating up the battery.

Hi jeffgman,
You should only have to call Verizon for a new A-key when going from a non-GPS radio (Ex 1.x and 2.x) to a GPS radio (3.x). Once on a GPS radio you are able to flash any other GPS radio without needing to call Verizon.

Great. Thanks for the information. I might try the 3.24.30 radio today and see how the quality and battery life is.
Jeff
I use verizon with the 3.42.30 radio and I like it....except the screeching sound when call waiting is used... but everything else is great
I am on rom 3.22 and had radio 3.42.30. This is a nice radio and found the signal to be great. I did downgrade since I do business travel for tech support and need gps and found that radio 3.39 worked better for my testing results. I would switch them on the fly to location testing...
I am using BAFs tools for gps connection so I have not tested this with 3.42.30 radio but I am not willing to lose my good standing right now to test...again I do think 3.42.30 is good and GC recommends this radio as well...
i was thinking..
why did michy went back to radio 1.57?
and what radio version are you using? and why?
i'm using radio 1.57 too. (michy r4.1 spl1.2)
hope to hear your reasons.
ciao!
My experience:
1.57 had the best bluetooth sound quality (I'm using a Jabra BT8010 which many have had issues with, this fixed the crackling issues I had with 1.47 and 1.50 both on my side and what others heard from me).
1.58 boosts data speeds over the cell network greatly by enabling one of the "H" protocols on top of 3G. It also boosts sensitivity levels - I get H connections at my desk where I only got Edge before. However, I found a little bit of crackling came back on my 8010. Only on my end though, not what others can hear from me). Due to the huge speed increase I stayed with this one.
How dangerous is a radio flash on Athena? Worth the risk?
I am a graduate from the school of Hermes.
With Hermes, OS flashes were almost completely stress-free as long as you had Hard-SPL on your machine. It seemed that with Hard-SPL one could recover from almost any bad OS flash.
Radio flashes one the other hand, were not as stress-free. Even with Hard-SPL, a bad radio flash could possibly brick a Hermes.
Up to now, I have assumed the same was true of Athena, but I thought this might be a good place to get confirmation / denial.
Also, if anyone knows, I am using radio 1.50. Are the bluetooth and/or reception benefits worth the risk (in your opinion of course) of a radio flash to 1.57?

I packed the Radio 1.58 RUU posted here and was happy to use it, feeling the speed and reception was improved ,which was important given that my provider had only recently enabled 3g in my area .
But I lost the ability to do video calls( not that important to me) and there is better reception now the network is bedded in .
So I have now gone back to 1.57 and find it totally acceptable.
One thing that may be a plus is I thought battery drain was less with 1.58 using the data network
lakeman: maybe that's michy's reason too?
also lakeman, here in the philippines, most users don't really use video calling (too expensive). and i would like a more battery-friendly radio. and since 1.57 is still very much acceptable, i don't think i will upgrade to 1.58 soon. also, especially larsuck's post scared me on upgrading my radio lol.
i do hope michy can tell us some more concerning this. even just the reason why he chose 1.57.
michy?
I've been using Radio 1.58 since a few weeks ago when I went to AP4, but have noticed major issues with my GPS acquiring signal and am wondering if that is a problem with the radio I upgraded to.
Can someone help me determine if that's the problem?

I am on Micy's 5.1 with Radio 1.58. TT6 locks in about 30 seconds no problems. I get better battery life with 1.58 vs 1.57. I may be my location (US - AL) and I am on ATT. In most 3G areas I get the constant H and more bars in "out-lying" areas than I had on 1.57.

I doubt its your radio, I'm on AP4 w/radio 1.58. There's a thread on one of these sub-forums with proper GPS settings, find that for several settings you can try.
All,
I have done a lot of flashing ROMs and Radios since I had my (unbranded) HD2 and I have been getting several issues where I miss calls (goes straight to voicemail) even when I am not using the phone.
I am using radio 2.10.50.26 but have also tried several others.
Can anybody who is on the O2 network in the UK recommend a reliable radio I can try?
Also does anybody know what radio the branded O2 HD2 uses as this might be worth trying too?
Thanks in advance
Alright mate.
I'm on O2 as well, and I've got 2.12.50.02_2, and it's pretty good for me. Can't help you with the original radio though as I've had the phone for nearly a year now and have been banging new ROMs/Radios on it for as long as they've been available (the original stock ROMs - pre 1.66 - we're dire!)
Incidentally, this is an "Android friendly" radio too - no robot voice or echo.
Hope this helps.
I have a 2.10.50 radio and I can't complain. It's pretty damn good actually.
I've been using 2.12.50.02_2 for a while now - and it's been ok. I've just upgraded to 2.14.50.04 and I think that this might be the best yet.
I had 2.12.50 and to be honest i thought it was terrible in terms of connection and battery life. I think the radio is heavily dependent on the amount of base stations in your area.
2.14.50 works well for me now and previously 2.07.50 was good too.
The stock radio that came on my phone was either 2.6.51.xx or 2.7.51.xx and the rom i had was a 1.66 version. I've used all the radios that have been made available since i got my phone in may and for me, in my area, the best ones where 2.10.50.26, 2.11.50.20, 2.12.50.2_2 and 2.14.50.04. Each time they improved the signal strength and extened the battery life a little but do remember that the best radio for you may very possibly be different dependant on your area. For example, if you have full signal all the time no matter where you are and the battery life is already pretty good there's no point in changing but if you struggle to get a decent hsdpa signal and your phone is always switching between edge and 3g then you may want to try a newer radio.
Ther are so many variables involved in this topic it is impossible to take a recommendation unless it is given to you by someone that lives or works in or around where you are most or you experiment a little.
I have had my hd2 for about a month now and hasn't really been experiencing problems with it until recently. when I just got the phone I had 3g data pretty much every where and around my while house. a couple of days ago I stopped having 3g data all together I only receive EDGE even outside. I am have radio version 2.15.50.14 and rom version 3.14. amy idea as to why this is and any possible solutions to this problem, thanks in advance.
Tmous right? You probably went over your 5GB cap. T-mobile gives you EDGE once you go past that mark, which I think is gonna happen to me real soon...
does 3g resume once the new month starts?
yes it does
