Hi all,
in all the ROM-threads we talk about the different radio-versions. As call quality has been THE major issue on our device I decided to make up a new thread only for radio. Hope it is ok..
I`m using Novembre5 german rom #1 with radio 5005.1600.05. The complaints about" I can´t hear you..." seem to increase in comparison to the official toshiba Swiss ROM I used before. I`m using german vodafone network, dk if its important.
Maybe we can compare our experiences with the different radios to help our great cooks to implement the"perfekt" radio for our TG01..
THX to all
DubRas
I guess it will depend were you are. I have tried most of the roms that had been posted here. For the purpose of testing the call quality I spent about two hours trying the roms. The original problem I had with this is the person the other end sometimes can not here me properly. A problem I did not have since I upgraded to the official toshiba rom 6.5.0. When I had november's 6.5.5 rom running to my surprise i had a worst call quality, the qualityon both sides was bad. So I tested the different roms and as a result the radio from the official toshiba upgrade is the best one for me. I am in the UK so it might be a different case with other people on other country.
And just a note the radio version that everyone is using now is originaly release for china so it might not be design for other countrys network. I guess!
Also I have posted this in a couple of threads and aragon said that he can do a tool to easily change the radio on roms. I hope it materials. so thubs up from me.
Just to add. Im using aragon's TG01 Debranded Orange UK - 6.5.0 ROM v0.010 which works perfect for me at the moment. loads of space for program and ram after installing all my apps especially for call quality issue.
Big up.. to aragon
so maybe we, the "european" users, should vote for an 6.5.5-ROM with the official UK-Radio. Or, if aragon gets an "easy-radio-update-tool" to work, we might be able to do it ourselves...
It seems that FFBOY radio layer is better, that what I can see, but it's not easy, because all ROM works well, with some diffenreces.... No need of SRSWOW with ffboy's ROM.

I'm from Romania this means from Europe here only work the latest Hong Kong radio driver 5005.1600.05 the other one from official UK keep getting problems in call quality.
Do i get that right: there seems to be no easy answer to the question: which is the best radio? Cant believe it, but my technical knowledge is maybe much too low for that. The "Easy-radio-update-tool" might be a possibility for every single user to find the radio that works best for him and in his country/network. So hopefully a tool like that will appear sometime in the future.
im using the newest offical tosh 6.5 update cooked with the
5005.1600.05 radio by aragon this has drastically improved my sound quality i no longer need srswow plus as it the offical rom there is not bugs ect

What country of you used
I use WM 6.1, but only chinese version... i don't understand nothing, but....... radio works perfectly in my country. it's the first time, when my phone works good, when i am talking with somebody... you can find this rom in the ffboys rom link (somewhere in last posts there is a link for 6.1)I AM VERY SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

i use uk/english rom
Strange. I've been using ffboy's Sense Rom with 5005.1600.05 radio and my call quality is worse. Loads of people here are saying it was better for them. Mind you, it was the same story with the original 6.5 update. Loss of people had problems, but others swore blind that it was perfect for them, with some even suggesting that we must have had a bad batch with a unique hardware fault. I think it's fair to say I ruled that out. I've had 8, some of them refurbs, but the last two were brand new replacements. They were all the same for me. A couple of people suggested it was more to do with varying quality in beteen gsm or 3g areas of network coverage.
One thing I noticed that helped sometimes was to change the volume slider up or down and for some strange reason, the other caller would say that it was better, but then it would get bad again after a few minutes. I once tried dialing my own number and leaving a message on my own voicemail to see what was happening and I discovered that the sound started breaking up particularly at the point when the screen turns off shortly after the start of the call. Anyone else noticed that?
Confused.
Like some others, I found the latest UK Toshiba update to be the best for me so far, although not prefect.
Has anyone had problems with 5005.1700.05?
i had big problems with the 1700 radio. So i had to go back on a rom with a 1600 radio.
I tried 1600 radio version it is not that good. My friend can hear heavy echoing and the time for phone to response is too slow(in my case 20 secs later). WM6.1 has much better radio quality.
I used Japanese version of tg01, when flashed Uk rom radio dont changed, how to change radio for this version ? plz help me, this radio version is really suck (sorry my bad english)

Hi Everybody,
I would like to know ,What is the meaning of radio version number? 1500,1600,1700 it mean frequency?(5005.1500.05,5005.1600.05,5005.1700.05)

No frequency related, those(&many others) are radio software versions (generally fitted to certain ROM versions, depending on country?!), so far nobody knows precisely differences between them...

please guide me which radio the best from the following aspects
good reception and strong signals
battery life
thanks in advance
uhm... no way of really knowing, probably the newest one because it's... you know... new.
before you ask, it's 1.38.00.10
I already ask in different thread, if exist some change log, but no, doesnt exist. so only way is to watch threads, and sometime people said - "..I have bad reception with version xxx...". it is not very comfortable, but there is one way, test one version lower, as is the newest one, and wait perhaps one week, if someone post information about problem/advantage of newest version. for me - I updating always all new rom/radio/BL
latest
I have the latest Trinity rom, works like a charm.....
Really excellent....1.38.00.11.
For sure with bandswitch and push mail!
radio 1.38.00.11

No problem!
how can u know its best and so on??
Here in USA, I found 2.69.x rom version makes a huge difference in a data session. I can actually see the speed difference between 2.69 and 2.19 or 2.20 radio roms. I'm on Tmobile USA networks in NE area.
i used 2.19.21 radio only for better battery drain...

Hi Kenxu, I am also on T-Mobile USA. I was originally using the 2.69.X version, but I noticed that when my phone went into sleep mode, a lot of phone calls were not coming through.
I have since switched back to 2.20.21 and my phone seems to be responding much better. I do not use my phone for heavy data session though.
Does anybody know what Radio Rom works best / optimal for T-Mobile USA?

I do notice not recieving call issue and voicemail icon does NOT pop up. Maybe I will give 2.20.21 a try again. I use my mail2web like instant messager so I need good data session radio for sure.
If i found something new willl let you know.
differences
Is there any write up on the differences of the radio roms? wud be helpful.
I am on 2.61.21 .. power drain looks ok .. signal strength also ok
thanks

alright, which rom were you testing using 2.20.21? I was using Crystal V3.
From my own experience, there are some differences between these versions in:
- Battery drain
- Phone quality and coverage
- Bluetooth and Wifi (communications/speed/compatibility)
Going for higher version improves what above but sacrifices stability sometimes and compatibility with OS built used.
Cheers

I have Tmobile and had 2.69 but had some issues, forgot now but downgraded to 2.47 and now I am back at 2.69 without any problems. I have noticed with all radio roms or maybe its WM6 that I don't get a warning when I have a voicemail. Not sure what is going on.

v2.07.20 ASERG ROM better to upgrade?
Just wondering what you guys have been trying for radios in Japan
What is the best radio in terms of battery life / quality of reception ?
I am willing to upgrade (Currently using TNT latest ROM with the original radio from Softbank) and not so much into testing 1.47, 1.50 1.51 and 1.54 if you have alreday tried them
If I had to bet I'd take 1.51 which I tried before... But anyway I am willing to hear everybody's idea on this sensitive issue
Any advice ?
Come on there are lots of X01HT users here
unfortunately, i think that the majority of x01ht users IN JAPAN are still stuck at 1.14.xx.xx (myself included). sadly it seems like its become a lost and forgotten cause...

Mmh true for the recent versions of the X01HT. If you want I can sell you one which you can easily upgrade (I broke my radio, got a new phone but it came back to life (Miracle !!) so I can sell one of my phones. They are both "upgradable" X01HT)
That said the 1.14 is not that bad compared to some of the recent ones (At least it was better than my 1.37...)
Hey guys
I am wondering in plain english what difference there is? obviously in my eyes the more memory the more responsive,
but im not just talking about speed, are there differences in stability?
Also what rom would you advise that uses the 576mb hack?
Regards
I may be talking out of turn...
Just spent last few days trying different combos of roms...
whilst the customised 576mb roms have latest and greatest features, here in the UK on Vodafone Network, having to use any 2.xx.50.xx radio leaves me with awful call quality...
Love the ROMS and their features, but not at the cost of a useable telephone.
My advice is unless your device is a native 576mb, it really isnt worth the drop in useability as a telephone.
I have been through all the .50. radios, i've tried the wavedev.dll fix... all make slightest of differences...
Back on a .51. radio... the difference is undeniably obvious...
Just my two cents... thanks for letting me get that out
strange im using one of the .50 radios now, and my call quality is fine, i mean compared to the stock i dont notice a massive massive amount of call quality difference, noticable but not too much.
im currently just reading through all the different roms to see which would suite my needs, i need stability, i cant be doing with reboots all the time, but then i love the looks of some of the custom roms
hmmm decisions!
just try some custom roms... u will find one that suites best... bet u will get flash addict!

Already am, with my old HTC Desire i must have changed roms 3 times a week, well until i found a rom i loved anyway.
Quick question (for some reason when i use the search funtion on my works laptop it fails miserably and times out)
Is there anyway to install a custom rom from the SD Card?
Ive not had a problem using a .50 radio in the uk..... I think they just dont like vodaphone, Ive seen a few people complaining about it....
If anything my signal is better than before.....

copy the nbh file to sd card and rename it leoimg.nbh
go into bootloader and it should find teh image and flash it. If it doesnt, then try formatting teh card to fat32, and if it STILl doesnt find it, chances are you have a 8gb or 16gb card, which can be hit and miss.
as for searching, rather than teh built in search function, which is mediocre at best, bookmark and use THIS google advanced search page, and start your search with
+hd2 +leo yoursearchhere
so example
+hd2 +leo how to hspl
gives THIS

Many thanks for the info pal, much appreciated, i have a sneeky suspision that work has for some reason blocked search engines as Bing is now also not working, may just be an issue down at our london office, right im off to try duttys rom, it looks pretty darn good!
You guys may well be right about vodafone.. and .50. roms with 576Mb, if it is any help to another vodafone user to avoid the trawling and testing of roms i have done...
I don't remember having issues with call quality and .50 radios before the 576Mb versions came out.
In my tests with Energy and CleanX Ultimate ROMS 2.10.50.19_2 was the one with least static and hiss, still very poor call quality tho.
If anyone manages to get sensible call quality on .50. radio with a 576Mb ROM on a EU spec phone and vodafone let me know, as i was really enjoying Energy latest ROM.. was why i spent so long testing out the .50. Radios.
Cheers
I've been using the latest max sense energy rom with the 2.12.50.02_2 radio on my UK vodafone. I've had no problems what so ever and the call quality is excellent. It may be an area thing by the sounds of things.
I was wrong!
I was wrong
Listening to what has been written above, i installed radio rom 2.12.50. and still had terrible call quality....
so, tried my PAYG O2 sim (uses same frequencies as Vodafone) and made a call with no crackles or hiss at all!!! With no change in radio or rom, vast improvement... noted that was on 2G signal at that point...
Changed back to vodafone sim, switched to GSM only mode and as if by magic the signal was miraculously better..
At least i am one step closer to nailing the vodafone hiss/crackle between talking... something to do with how the HD2 handles 3G based calls...
I am determined to locate and sort this feature of my HD2....
Wish me luck.
Hey guys,
in all recent roms Froyd Villain, Elelinux´s roms I experience that my data connection breaks down after some hours (sometimes days) and I have to restart my hero to get it going again. Additionaly my WiFi has similar problems too, just that it sometimes breaks down after some minutes so I looked for Radio updates.
All the radio threads I could find are older and it does not seem that there are recent radio updates out, so I wanted to ask which one do you guys use or where can I find recent ones?
I am European, from Luxembourg next to Germany so I guess the European radios should work
Thanks in advance
Have had this myself too. My theory is that its not radio related but maybe CPU settings. Radio flashing feels like russian roulette cos have done it myself a few times but not really sure if there was any difference. Heard that villain had a good list of radios, but don't be suprised if you already have the latest or that any make much difference : )

Yeah I checked it out but the post was around a year old so I don´t know how accurate it still is. For the rest I agree, radio updates are kind of russian roulette but atm its the only thing that I suspect could work (even though my issue is not a worst case scenario but I d still prefer it to work properly).
