[Q] Poor WIFI & bluetooth performance - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if the answer is somewhere, I have searched but can't find anything.
So, to the problem. I have been using a Miri from for a couple of months and decided to flash to the new Dutty N4S V1 rom. Prior to this I flashed the raise to 2.14.50.04 and then went about flashing the Rom.
Initially it seemed to work fine, then I noticed poor wifi performance, the phone used to be able to pick up the router but now nothing then I noticed an issue with the Bluetooth, it now has a range of only a few cm.
So I have since flashed backward on the available radios through this site to no avail. I have also flashed both the Miri and Dutty roms since again not increasing performance.
The only thing I can find in error is the HSPL I had originally was 1.42. I didn't think about upgrading it despite the rooms asking for a later version, although I have since flashed version 2.08 of the HSPL and flashed everything again to see if the problems are rectified but to no success.
So, software fault or hardware fault. Prior to this bit of flashing both the wifi and Bluetooth worked fine. The phone is in excellent condition and only 6 months old. I have emailed HTC but while waiting for their reply I thought would try here too.
Thanks

regarding WiFi performance, I have noticed a decrease in performance starting with 3.14 ROMs. When I revert back to 2.XX based ROMs, the problem seems to correct itself.
Perhaps you should revert back to older 2.14 or 2.13 based ROMs.

Thats a start... Will give it a go.

Unable to flash my Hermes with the most recent 1.51 radio module

Hi Experts,
I got some problem to upgrade my Hermes to the most recent 1.51 radio module.
Previously, it's shipped with rom 1.2. I flashed hard-spl V7 later, and managed to upgrade the radio to 1.41 last week. Today, I tried to upgrade it to 1.51, however, one strange thing was the flash progress bar went very slow, fortunately, it completed at last. However, when the phone rebooted, I found the radio remains at 1.41~~~~~
What's the problem with that? Any more information needed?
Thanks in advance.
that proplem with me need help plz
Can anybody help us out?
Your input would be much appreciated.
Guys,
I guess the reason why no one has responded is because there are a number of options you can take to solve this problem. Most (I think) are in the wiki, hence no response.
Take some time out to do a search on Radio Upgrade problems and see what comes up.
WB
Dear WB,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have already read the Wiki pages. Maybe I missed some of them. However, I cannot find a solution to it.
Thanks,
Jiayi
@Jiayiw
i recommend you to read and read and read and then upgrade roms and radios that some other users used and had no problems with them , coz your device can be simply bricked like mine if you install a bad or corrupted rom into it .
good luck
WBR
It just occurred to me that, after I flashed the radio to the 1.41, it upgrades my HTC boot to 0182....
So, there is no way to flash the radio with the HTC boot version 0182?
Also, the Radio 1.41 rom is downloaded from the wiki......
Have you tried flashing another radio version like 1.47, to see if that works? You tried downloading 1.51 froma differennt source eg here>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323957?
WB
Thanks WB,
The problem is related to the HTC boot in my Hermes, it's 0182 already, I am not sure why it got upgraded after my flashing last time.
Anyway, I am seeking the method to flash the radio with HTC boot at 0182.

XV6800 (Radio 3.42.50) - No GPS on custom ROM.

I've got a refurbished Verizon XV6800 that had the latest Verizon ROM installed (radio 3.37).
I unlocked with No2chem SPL 2.47 and flashed a GPS PPCKitchen ROM.
The phone is flashed for cricket.
I can not get GPS to work. I upgraded the radio to 3.42.50.
GPS stil does not work. I added GPS toggle and quick GPS but they did not help either.
I've read about the Verizon MR1 update and how GPS would not work after it is installed.
Am I able to put the Verizon 6.0 ROM on it?
I thought that would downgrade to a non-GPS radio, and that could brick the phone?
I've searched this awhile now, and can't find a specific set of instructions for a GPS enabled Verizon to get GPS working with a custom ROM.
If I can flash a pre-MR1 Verizon ROM, where would I find it?
Thanks for any help.
Check here as Mr-Free stated.

I've read this thread, but it was written before GPS roms, and I don't think it addresses the issue of downgrading radios from 3xx (3.42.50, in my case).

The stock rom contains the downgraded radio as well.
Thanks for your help, but I need to know.
I've heard going back to a non-GPS radio is really dangerous (this is a non-GPS radio, right?)
Just don't want to brick it.
It's very hard to brick this phone. I am one of the few that have, but, wasn't due to software issues, it was hardware. I've gone down to stock plenty of times and it's not that hard. In order for you to use a custom ROM WITH gps and yer trying to flash from a stock 6.1 rom, you HAVE to flash back to a 6.0 rom and then upgrade from that or gps will not work. Check out the guides mentioned above and the guide in the wiki.
Thanks for the advise, folks.
I will...(gulp)...give it a try.
If you hear screaming from the direction of Dayton, Ohio you'll know why.
lol
Thanks again.
i think i heard screaming already do you need us to call an ambulance?
I downgraded, and then upgraded successfully.
Now I just need to see if GPS is working.
>>EDIT<<<
GPS is working! Thanks so much for the help guys! I've done about 12 Moguls, but this was the first VZW one, so it was a new problem for me.
..but there is something weird. My data connection keeps starting up by itself.
I done everything as I always do, but I've never had this quirk before.
Could it be a radio problem?
Thanks.

With every ROM I've used including all the official Telus ROMs I'm pretty sure the data connection always connects by itself...
The only application I had that wouldn't start a data connection on it's own was SBSH Weather (it had a specific option to automatically establish a data connection).
I've been fighting a similar problem,trying to learn ppc kitchen.Every rom I've made can't get the data connection to stop,keeps cycling back on

Best Radio for WM 6.5

Ive been having problems lately with my mogul for some odd reason it keeps resetting every like 10 second. Ive done everything from relockerr to unlocker and hard reset trying out radios and everything. i just want to know if there is ether a specific radio and BL thats compatible for the 21501 ROM?
Either of the unlocked bootloaders should work fine for it. There is a list on the wiki and a sticky thread at the very top of this forum with a list of compatible radio roms. Pretty much, though, I would probably just go with the latest one which I believe is a Sprint.
Also, if your phone is constantly resetting I would try flashing to your carrier's latest stock ROM and make sure that it is stable there first. If it still resets there then you may have a hardware issue of some sort.

question on gingeritis rom

So I am thinking about isntalling the gingervitis 1.0 rom, I am currently on 1.12.605.6 radio and stock os w/root, I was wondering what radio i need to be on for this rom( he does have a link for a radio but dont know if it is ok to upgrade from the verison i am on) and after i do flash this radio and rom, and say i dont like the rom, if i restore back to stock os w/root am i able to keep the radio i upgraded to or am i going to have to downgrade to a different one, sorry about posting this in general i tried in the actual thread and got no answers.
You should be fine upgrading as long as you follow his steps.
As far as going back, I don't think that radio works on froyo roms. That's why when you flash the radio first and boot your phone back up, you don't have service. I could be wrong, but that's what I've gathered from everything.
I have GB right now and the only problem I've had so far is my text messages are out of order. Other than that, everything works great. I do know a lot of people are having trouble placing phone calls, and having random reboots though. It seems pretty hit or miss, but the developers are working hard trying to get everything as stable as possible.
Seems like every day since the leak a new version comes out with more bug fixes and different sense 3.0 additions. If you don't like the downfalls you see today, wait until tomorrow and see if they've fixed it yet.
I've been very impressed with the amount of bugs have been fixed so far and how fast they've fixed them.
I was having Force Close issue on beta 6 but beta 5 rocked
k i think i am going to do it, do you know if its easy enough to just flash the old radio back on it or am i going to run into problems if i decide to restore back, also when he comes out with updates i should just be able to flash the newest beta on top the other or should i do a wipe and then install again.
I'm having serious charging problems with this rom and the test 4 kernel. Talking like, 3% charged in 45 minutes off the wall.
I'm using the beta 6 Rom with the kernel that came with it and no problems so far not even reboots, have tried the newest kernel by imoysen?

Need serious help!

Before you reply - let me lay a story for ya!
I bought a bran new TBolt off of my friend. I was using a fascinate up to that point and never had any issues. I loved my fassy - it was fast, reliable, and everything worked well.
Now onto the TBolt - I got the SOFF, rooted, got recovery, and got a few Roms. It is still working fine. What's the issue?
Well, I posted this on this forum and other forums more than once, but I can never seem to get an answer. After a few ROMS - Infected, Vicious, ThunderShed - I get a splash screen, or if it does boot it freezes as soon as it accesses the radio components. I have CM7.1 on it right now, ran liquid, vicious miui and other roms. Most roms do work in fact without any problems - but the few that I heard are amazing - do not.
What I have done:
Made sure my recovery is upgraded: I have tried latest CWM, EXT, CWM Touch, and the other one that was popular - all updated and did not work.
Always make sure to wipe: I always format all partitions. I have even used the Superwipe script as well, but to no avail.
I have installed a stock rom, wiped and then installed: Someone said that would work - it did not.
Double, no - triple checked my roms': Checked the MD5 sum of all ROMS and Recoveries.
Different Radios: My phone came with newest radios, and I downgraded, upgraded, and nothing.
Now, I do not mean to sound picky - but I am not happy with the TBolt at all. It works at half the quality that I had from my fassy. Wifi errors out sometime, Tether errors out sometime, it lags some of the time, and most of all - no ICS. Liquid worked well, but the touchscreen wouldn't respond during some games - not that I use it for gaming much anymore - but the idea remains.
It sounds like you are trying all of the right things, so unfortunately I don't really have anything helpful to offer. Just curious though, If you were happier with the fascinate, why stop using it? Did it break?
As far as your issues, I have found CM 7 based ROMs (or any roms not based off of sense builds) to be less reliable and have more "glitches" than sense roms. That certainly could explain some of your gripes with the TB. Have you been able to install any Sense roms other than stock?
I have long since settled on Chingy's gingeritis rom as the most reliable and feature filled, but obviously that opinion differs depending on who you talk to.
To answer your question first: I started using the TBolt because it was 4G and that was important for me at the time (I was a student and had no reliable internet). Things have changed now and I am most likely going to change back sooner than later.
I haven't tried many Sense roms. Which would be the most reliable and recommended?
I know you said you tried downgrading your radios and that your phone came with the newest ones flashed but if you haven't already done so, check this out.

One thing with switching to a AOSP rom from a sense based rom is that you have to use very specific radios. this page will help you find the exact radios you need to use for the rom you are running.
I am running Thundershed 1.6 with these:

I am running the kernel in "normal" mode.
No issues that I know of but I am still a noob with a post count of 2...
Alright. Thx for the help guys - for the time being I am back to the fascinate, but I will try your suggestions.
One thing I am also trying is the using the "non-semsung" micro sd card in the TBOLT.
I will report back after this weekend with the results.
