What radio should i be using on my telus hero . I updated to 2.1 . My baseband
version is 63.18.55.06pu_6.35.15.11. . I used Telus HTC Hero Root Tutorial. to get the update . Phone works great .
I use PU 15.14 and it works fine with Telus. You can get it here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323
PS -- these questions belong in the general/Q&A sections
I've been using 08.22 for a while now and its the best so far (thats for Montreal all the way to Toronto) I've tried all radio ROMs and the last two, well they were not as good.
But that's only my opinion.

I am using 15.14 in the GVA. It works well but I sometimes seem to get a little signal fluctuation. It could be my imagination though.

I recently read something similar. The poster believed that 08.22 is the radio revision that most closely matches with Telus' shipping radio (63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08.20).
Here's hoping that when the 2.1 updates reaches Telus, HTC will release a Telus-optimized radio!
I'm running froydvillain and upgraded to 63.18.55.06OH_6.35.15.01
Seems to be running great, oh and I'm on telus canada
Thread moved to Q&A.
Heya Telus peeps, anyone ever get a weird text message from 16005000014.
Every time I reboot, or come into service (when I was out of service) I get a text message from 16005000014 that's either blank or says how many voicemail messages I have. I do still get the regular voice mail notification in the top status bar.
Anyone else?
Thanks

yes, once in a while. annoying since it's got that nasty number it came from (ugly) and also I get charged for texts. I assume they didn't charge me when they sent it themselves, but still, annoying.

Hi,
I bought an unlock code from htcsimunlock.com today as I wanted to temporarily use a Vodafone SIM in my SIM-locked Orange HTC Hero.
I switched the SIMs and entered the unlock code. All seemed to be fine (code was accepted) so I then switched back to my Orange SIM.
Unfortunately I'm now not able to use mobile data I've checked my APN settings and they are all still present and correct. I'm using:
- VillainROM 12
- Radio 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14
I can still make/receive voice calls and send/receive SMS messages. Does anyone know why my mobile data would be dead? I've heard of these symptoms for people who are still using a stock Orange ROM, but I'm using VR12.
Is there any way I can reinstate the SIM lock?
Can anyone help? Particularly anyone who has successfully unlocked their Orange Hero??
I'm in the same boat.. I was under the impression it was something to do with the fact I was tethering non stop last night and Orange have done something, But I'm showing a data connection, I just can't use it.
I'm getting E-Mails occasionally, But nothing else.
Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention:
I see the 3G (and sometimes H) icon with both up and down arrows flashing occasionally, but nothing meaningful seems to be getting downloaded. Any apps that require a data connection just timeout and/or fail because of a lack of data transfer.
Don't worry it's orange! I have a friend with no mobile data too! They told him it should be fixed by Friday.
And it just happened to coincide with me sim-unlocking my phone and switching temporarily to a Vodafone sim? Sounds like one hell of a coincidence.
Anyone else on orange having this problem?

Maybe not. I do know that it is affecting a lot of users though. A quick search of Orange on twitter will confirm this. For you it could be a separate issue I guess?
Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention cambria83, fingers crossed it works itself out! :\
Thank You - It's been doing my head in all day this.
Same problem, switch to 2G and everything works fine.

same here. All day no 3G. Reformatted, wiped install 3 different ROM and same. DAMN! What a coincidence to test new ROM :-(.
LOL next time call orange before flashing again!most of the time its their problem unless you have flashed a new radio!
probably a stupid question but are the correct APNs in use?
Moved to Q&A as not Development
Apologies for posting in the wrong forum - completely forgot I was looking at the Development forum! Thanks for moving this pulser_g2.
Mobile data seemed to be fixed this morning I guess I was just really unlucky with the day I chose to buy an unlock code! Data connection is failing again this afternoon but this is almost certainly down to the Orange data network crapping out again.
Yup its down for me to, Orange are *immense*...
I also spent most of yesterday reflashing my backups and I thought I had broken it by playing around... Next time I think I will blame orange straight away.

Hi everyone,
Last few weeks ive been getting alot of missed call texts even though the phone hasnt rang. Internet browsing is slow and intermittent.
Is there a recommended radio update for orange uk users? Just wondering before i start complaining to orange lol.
Currently using
Elelinux 2.2.1 final
Flykernal 12a @ 176-614
Radio 63.18.55.06PU6.35.15.11
Thanks a lot

Hey.
Your radio is two releases behind mine. I am on orange UK, and the missed call texts come a few minutes late, and the GPS lock is quicker and more reliable. But I do lose signal easier and more frequently. You can try it out.
The version I have is the 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03; and doing a google search for VILLAINROM GSM HTC HERO RADIO should bring the page where this is available.
Hi I am currently a T - Mobile customer and when I originally bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the company, I thought I could take advantage of using both the T - Mobile network and 2G services of the T - Mobile Orange Network.
However after successfully using it for the first 2 weeks, after my KE7 firmware update, I have an unbranded phone, it did not connect to the network anymore, stating, even if I manually select T - Mobile Orange in GSM mode only, Cannot registor with network, Unable to connect, then it states it is registered and yet I have emergency calls only stated and not either T - Mobile or even T - Mobile Orange. Then it will not connect to either network manually until I restart the phone.
I have since flashed my phone with various other firmwares, am currently on cognition s2 1.13, it's a great Rom, and still the same thing occurs.
I have contacted T - Mobile, they can't fix it, I have took the phone to a Samsung Repairer and they couldn't see anything wrong, stating it was a fault with Orange, as the guy in the shop's T - Mobile branded Galaxy s2 did the same.
Anyone solved the mystery, or is able to explain the issue to me?
It's doing my nut in, I have had phones like these for years, flashed them and enjoyed them, and usually work things out for myself, my last phone was an Samsung I8910, which was great with custom firmware support and I must say the Galaxy s2 is by far my favourite ever phone, but even my Samsung Omnia I8910 works properly on T - Mobile and Orange, and the latest and greatest phone won't!!
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Seeing as the cognition rom is based on I9100XXKG1, I know of a couple of forum members that have had trouble with the KG1 modem, and had to revert to the KF2 modem.
Worth a try? It won't wipe you phone of anything daft either.
List of official modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Before you do anything, can you dial*#1234# and just check what phone software is installed?
Thanks for the option Unfortunately I have tried the KE2, KE7, KF2 and KG1 Modems now, none of them have worked. It is really bizaar as the bloody thing works really well on T - Mobile, when there is coverage, plus the 3 and H is great speeds when they are in coverage, it just won't switch to Orange

one moment, I'm on t-mobile aswell.
text YES to 2121.
Homer moment: Doh, you cant text can you?
Just for reference, I'm with Orange and in my network list I have both "Orange" and "Orange and T-Mobile". I can connect to the Orange one fine, but not to the other one. It does switch to T-Mobile sometimes though. I've seen it do it.
Hi again, I have text yes to 2121, and it was working on my phone before. So yours has no issues then?

Unfortunately if I let mine automatically switch network, it switches to emergency calls only if I am out of a t mobile network range, not orange, and it used to switch to orange no problem
Then when it is in emergency calls only, I have to turn it on and off to get it to work at all, as it will not register back to T mobile
My last attempt......when you go into wireless/mobile network settings, is data roaming ticked?

Yes it is, cheers for all your help. It's very frustrating and I can't fathom it out, so cheers for trying yourself
You don't need data roaming ticked in order to use Orange. T-mobile and Orange are both considered 'home' networks.
I'm on T-Mobile without data roaming ticked and it switches automatically to Orange without any issues. Might be worth phoning t-mobile up and seeing if there's some sort of issue with your account.
I installed Lite'ning Rom and found that I couldn't connect to Orange on my unlocked tmobile sim. Turned out that I had the "com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission" apk missing.
Downloaded it here:- http://www.contentsd.nl/apk/SimServicePermission.apk
and installed it with titanium and registered ok on orange.
Hope this helps.

Hiya guys. Sorry to jump on this thread but I am having the same issue as OP. I'd just like to give you an update on what I know so far. It is a nightmare trying to speak to someone at T-Mobile who actually knows whats going on, but I was persistent and got through to an engineer who said that they are having transmitter problems in east anglia and surrounding areas...not sure if you are in that area or not. Unfortunately all the engineer said is that they are working hard to a. figure out what the problem is ang b. fix it! He also could not give me an ETA and said that the only way to get back onto the network is to reboot the phone a couple of times. Not ideal, but I though it was something to do with the VillainRom that I flashed...so here's stupid me flashing stock, bricking/unbricking the phone etc etc only to find out later that its not the phone...on the plus side I have amazing battery life now haha who would have thought ey!
Anyways, hope this information is useful to you all.
Steph
It is not a ROM issue - it is a T-Mobile/Orange fault

Absolutely right Steph, it is not ROM related.
T-Mobile have acknowledged that there is a problem with registering T-Mobile customers on T'Orange cell towers.
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now (also in East Anglia), and after a lot of perseverance I got transferred to Level 2 support (Technical Support - not Customer Support) last Monday. They said there was a 'rectifier problem' on a mast in Henny Street, near Sudbury, Suffolk at the end of June and it has had a knock-on effect on other masts in the area. It was/is a level 2 priority for fix.
I wasn't happy with that explanation as it happens all over Suffolk!
Still with the issue on Thursday, I called them again and got straight through to Level 2 as they had marked my account as an on-going problem which Customer Support (in the Philippines) couldn't handle.
While explaining in detail the 'Your SIM does not allow you to connect to this network' problem the Guy I was talking to received an internal notification that they were aware of issues registering on T'Orange cells, that they'd known about it for 72 hours, have no idea what is causing it, and no eta to fix.
I've been using a forced connection to T'Orange for the last couple of days (poor T-Mo signal in house which always caused it to hunt for T'Orange anyway). Downside of course is that it won't get a 3G signal when forced into T'Orange mode.
Still happening today so need to give them another prod...
Oh, and I found this thread searching for answers - I don't have a Galaxy S, I have a Desire. Further proof that it isn't ROM related.
I'll update when I find out more from them.
Aaron
Just spoken to them again, problem is still on-going, they are still investigating and looking for more samples of the problem to try and isolate the issue. In light of that I would suggest anyone else having this to phone them and ask for Technical Support and register the fault - the more samples they have, the better chance of getting it resolved.
In other words, they still don't know what's causing it or when they'll fix it.
Where are the radio choices for this phone? are there any? i havent seen one!
My friend has had the photon for a while and he has always complained about dropping calls, or sms's not going through, I just got done rooting and unlocking it, flashed CM7 and he said it is worst. Anyone out there got some suggestions?
What version build is on the phone?
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
well, im not exactly sure what was origionaly on it but I know it was 2.3.4,
but now it has "[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team 4-23-2012" on it.
Hmm, is he using it with sprint or another carrier like cricket?
I would just flash him back to stock have sprint update his profile and prl.
And if everything is fine flash custom roms.

Be careful letting sprint update your phone. Once you update to 2.3.5 you will be stuck with a locked bootloader till someone figures out how to unlock it. The basebands (radio) currently used by most roms is the one from 198_7 which is 2.3.4. As far as I know there are only 3 basebands for the photon and none of them make that much of a difference in reception if any at all. Currently 198_7 is your golden ticket for any kind of xda support.

Been using KANG CM7.2 since the beginning on a non sprint network in India. Never had a problem. The rom is almost stable. 99%... And i neither had an issue with the network data nor call drops.
There's a network selection option in
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Preference right ??
I have a photon on Verizon and I get 1-3 bars in my basement and once in a while I drop a call but when I leave the basement I get 3+ bars ALL the time. Are you sure you or your friend has strong signal at all ( if possible try another sprint phone).

The photon has one of the best, if not the best radio of all sprint phones. Unless he is in a bad area for sprint then I don't know what to tell ya.

Updating the PRL and Profile is totally different from updating (upgrade) to 2.3.5.
I see the point of the suggestion to update profile/prl, it can make a difference in call/reception quality.
For those who are concerned about going back to stock for profile/prl updates there is another way. When on rooted stock use an app such as TiBu and freeze the upgrader/updater apk's. Then create a nandroid backup. If you need to go back to 198_6 or 7 for whatever reason you are safe.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
Well looks like hes SOL, when he first got it I did update the prl and profile and it didnt do much. Figured a custom rom would help. But his photon is on sprint, and his girl has the same exact phone and she has all the same exact problems he has. Like droped calles, and also the phone became very sluggesh over time, one of the worst phones i've ever used, and i've used at least 15 or 20 different android phones on all 4 major carriers foor a substantial amount of time. Sorry to say it, but its just my opinion. So... I think its just a bad area concidering the evidence. But anyway, hes been away for a few days and I cant get to the phone so I can't check anything. Thanks for the reply's though.
So after reading through all the posts about flashing my phone to ics from droidstyle's post, i ended up trying to flash my phone from 2.3.5 (which I was not able to update normally by my crappy carrier) to one of the ics roms. Which ended up giving me zero 3g access. My question is are their specific files i can pull from a working Showcase with the latest carrier supported os, to put on my phone after i flash it to ics to get it to access 3g again? My problem is all these roms and what not tend to be based off verizons phone the fascinate. Which as far as i can tell are almost identiacal except a few differences. I dont have verizon as my carrier but a little kansas based one called nex-tech.
there is a 3g data fix.zip floating around here somewhere in this section...thats what u need.
*edit found it

go to rootzwiki and download the stock eh09 or ei20 package then follow the going back to stock part of the guide.

most likely you will have to call your carrier and have them do a esn swap or activate a old phone on your line then switch back.
I went down to the office and they did a swap of a phone they had in the building. No luck what so ever. My girl friend and i have the same exact phone, minus a small hardware update between them. Ive completely erased all of my phone and flashed a generic showcase rom and updated through their website. They programmed it and all that jazz but no luck...

firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version S:i500.05 K.EI20

I'm not trying to offend you, but Samsung created it for Verizon network...you might be able to program it to work on another, but you might not...idk
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
Well the phone is a Nex-tech phone, that is where i bought it from. That is the local cell phone provider here. Its worked flawlessly rooted for almost 6 months. Then i decided to try and get ics on it and followed the guide droid so awesomely wrote up for everyone. It didnt work so well for me, because Nex-tech is some random generic cdma cellphone provider.

I had a Sprint Epic for a brief time but live in an area where it was using Nex-tech's towers since Nex-tech is part of Sprint's roaming alliance. I was running custom Froyo roms from XDA because there was no official Froyo release at the time. After a few months it had the same problem with losing 3G. I spent two hours on it with Sprint's tech support and never got it to work again. They even sent me a refurbed phone and it failed right out of the box. They wanted me to drive to the nearest store to have them activate it, which was 1 1/2 hours away when it should have been able to activate thru Nextech's system. Needless to say I ate the ETF and got a Fascinate.
My theory is Nextech has some kind of black list that shuts off data on phones it thinks are roaming for an excessive amount of time. Maybe switching to an ICS Rom designed for the Fascinate might have triggered that.
Good luck with getting it working. The main thing that keeps me from going back to Nextech is their lame tech support and huge repair times instead of refurbished swapouts. I keep hoping when Nextech's contract with Sprint is up next year maybe Sprint will come out here.
