Hello,
Hoping to get some advice here. Currently on Sogarth Base Vanilla Rom running radio 1.58 on Rogers with the new 6GB data plan. Couldn't get the 3g and H to show up until I configured the Band settings to Auto (another tip i got from these forums). This changes the provider name to "ROGERS UMTS". At this point, I could get 3g + H downloads, although it still felt a bit slow. Unfortunately, my 7500 will no longer hold any cell calls. All outgoing fails, and incoming only lasts 1-2 minutes. These are tests throughout the city(GTA).
Wife's phone (Tytn II) is working great at 3G + H using stock rom.
The only way I can get good cell reception again is if I manually tune the Band settings to GSM & GSM (1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850). Of course, I can never get any type of speed over Edge. The provider name changes to just ROGERS, which is the same provider name that the Tytn II gets.
Anyone have any words of advice or tips that I can try? Rogers won't help because it's an unsupported phone. Data reception is not an issue because the Tytn II gets full 3G/H. I'm hoping to finally unleash the power of this phone.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to downgrade to 1.57. I never tried this version with the data plan, because I only just recently got it. Hoping some people may have some telling experiences.
Thanks in advance,
achok.
Just as an update, reflashed to 1.57 radio with no improvement.
any other athena + rogers users here?
did you try the 3G hack?
download the nice utility from this forum
it was called something super mobile hack
it lets you customize sooooo much stuff of the phone inside and out
after i enabled it, mine always gets the best stuff 3G and HDPDA speed
which was awesome
if i didn't enable it, it was always on EDGE, and very few times on 3G
HOWEVER!!!!!!
i think i know why HTC did not turn that on by default
because whenever i keep 3G & HDPDA on all the time
it drains battery real fast
is worse than using WI FI all day long
so what i do now, is to keep it on EDGE for the automated downloads from programs Weather, TomTom, Stock, push email, etc
but when i SURF THE WEB, i enable 3G, and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM like the commercial
is a quick ON OFF thing in the COMM Manager.
and when i'm done looking up stuff on the WEB, i turn it back to EDGE mode
to save battery
Don't know why you need to turn it off, I keep H on all the time and at the end of a low-useage day I'm still in the mid-80's on my battery. Yes, if I start surfing heavily the battery goes down much faster, but not from background push/pulls.
i do surf browse de web quite a bit
lots of download, some uploads
streaming videos
and i use VNC and remote deskop quite a lot for work / home stuff, meanwhile on the road.
this phone is the best thing every.
now i can literally work from any where, and people will still think i'm in the office
as long as i have good signal that is
Best thing with the Advantage is...... OUR BATTERY LAST SOOOOO LONNNNNNNNNG compare to a LAPTOP of any size, doing the same thing
Thanks for the replies and suggestion. I'll try the 3G hack and report back.
Anyway you can report which Radio ROM you are using? I'm still believing that certain Radio ROM's are better suited for the Rogers/Fido 3G network....
...or is the Rogers/3G network just than inconsistent?
Regards,
achok.
as you can see in my siggie it's the X7510 which means it has the stock 1.58 Radio that everyone is upgrading to with the Modded ROMs
and the other thing is, im on FIDO, not Rogers.
but LOL as if that matters anymore, they are both the same company now.
just one has better billing, and Cutomer Service, than the Get Lost actitude from Rogers CS people, and always screwed up and over billed invoices every month....
Folks, just as an update:
I recently upgraded to Michy 4.0 1.2 spl (16mb version) (fantastic ROM by the way...) and stayed with Radio 1.57.
So far all looks to be good, but still need to test over the next few days.
Hopefully, this is a sign that things are finally starting to work the way it's supposed to.
Regards,
Achok
I just upgraded to AP 4.0 Platinum..Everything works fine ( I think ) except when I go to m.youtube.com to watch videos, and streaming media starts, It says "Failed to find network."
Please help!!!
Coz this is the very reason why I upgraded the rom..thinking it would solve the problem..
I'm with Rogers..
I already installed the latest FP7 plugin thingy..
HELP ME!!!!
i cant get my 3G or my HSDPA to work at all. Im using The HTC TOUCH PRO, which i imported on the ROGERS network. Ive been reading these forums and i have no clue as to what radios and rom versions are nor how to even tell what im using. WHOSE THE GENIOUS HERE...HELP ME.. This phones wack unless i get the best out of it...
Htc touch pro
if anyone can email me directly also that would be cool...

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with the H icon not showing constantly on the recent 6.5.1 builds. I still get it when downloading, so HSDPA is still working, but it no longer shows up constantly. Seems a lot like on my old Hermes, which only supported HSDPA (but not HSUPA). It may be that there are some issues at my carrier, but I just wanted to confirm that noone else has seen this before I contact them...
I'm currently using Timolol's 81 build, was on the 71 for the last few weeks, had no issues before that, though I think I had a brief period back at the start of using 71 where it was working fine...

T-Mobile Netherlands?
TPG (Optus) Australia ;-).
Using Radio 1.14.25.05 and 1.14.25.35 (the only two that work reliably with GPS)...
do you have touch pro config or advanced config type tools installed? They can do a registry tweak that can close data connections after X minutes of inactivity. On mine with this option set (to 1 minute) i will get the H icon with signal strength (as opposed to the other H icon on the left which is always there) when a connection occurs and it downloads something, then 1 minute later it goes back to the antenna icon with signal strength (and you can see in HTC COnnection Manager that Data Connection has now been switched off).
Perhaps you have this setting/option set now? In general leaving the data connection on all the time cant be as good for battery etc, especially when the connection is re-established whenever something like activesync or your browser requests it anyway
Thanks for a good suggestion, however, sadly this is not my issue. I am still maintaining connections (on 3g) when not downloading. I did wonder if perhaps MS had tweaked the power management in new builds to drop back connection speed when not in use (Symbian does this, though it drops back all the way to GPRS) but don't think this is the case. Is there any way other than via the icon being constantly H to know HSUPA is working?
In relation to battery and the auto disconnect tweak, I used to use this but sadly it breaks simultaneous voice and data, which makes it a no-go for me (nothing worse than downloading a file and having it bomb out due to an incoming call).
I'm on ATT, and lately the only thing that's happened is H has been showing up more. I use the .25.35 radio and the newest NRG ROM and it works excellent. Hope this helps.
I believe that AT&T have recently increased their coverage significantly for HSDPA in the States...
We've had it over here in Australia over quite a large area of the country for some time now, and it was certainly working well for me before. I've just called the network, but they don't have any information about faults. I'm currently trying to deprovision and reprovision my data service, and hope that will help (I wonder if it's something to do with me at one point using unmatched RILPhone DLL and radio...if that did something funny on the network perhaps they switched something off for my phone. After I tried that, I put it to radio 1.14.25.35 (+matched RIL), which worked fine on H again, but a bit later I changed to 1.14.25.05 (+matched RIL) as I get better battery life with that one...no luck on that, but since then changing back to 1.14.25.35 (+matched RIL) doesn't bring the magic H back either :-( )...
OK, just flashed back to stock to see if that helped, and no luck. So it's not the new ROMs, and it's not anything on my phone. I guess the phone company has either detected me doing screwy things with my radio and switched off my HSUPA for some reason, or more likely, have screwed something up or switched it off in my city for some reason.
All i've got to say about that is BUGGER!
Back to my nice new 23081 w/1.14.25.05 radio then...
Hi caeci11ius,
I'm on virginmobile(Optus) as well. I noticed the same behavior with various new WM 6.5 roms (I'm on latest Exquisite now), but an old EnergyROM build I had which used WM 6.5 21016 build was on H almost all the time.
I think Windows Mobile by default automatically drops down to 3G access from HSDPA to save on battery-life when the device is not utilizing high amount of mobile internet. I noticed I can easily get back on HSDPA (even for just a few seconds) if I do something like browse the internet or even just update the weather and I can also sustain HSDPA with problems.
I think what you are experiencing is a feature. I haven't noticed any problem with the behavior, in fact I think it works better for me, it uses less battery.

I have recently upgraded my HTC HD2 to ROM 3.14.531.0 (04666) WWE (1.66... before) and Radio 2.15.50.14 (2.06... before) and my WiFi router signal strength became very poor.
Now the signal is poor even at 0.5 - 1 meter away. Before the upgrade the signal was good even at 10 meters away with 2 walls between the phone and a laptop.
Also tried to set "Best Wi-Fi Performance" on/off and nothing changes.
Also tried to use 3rd party WiFi Router software called WMWifiRouter - same problem.
Ok, then I have downloaded Android MDJ FroYo HD v. 4.1 for HTC HD2 and started HTC Hotspot app. The signal was perfect even at 10-15 meters away.
I think that there's some hidden settings which can help improve WiFi signal in WM because in Android the signal is strong by default.
Can anybody help me with WiFi router signal improvement in WM?
Thanks in advance!
i had the same problem, so i rolled back the radio to V2.12 all is well now.
check out the rome dev threads on how to do this.
Thanks for your advice!
I also thought the problem is in Radio BUT as I've told WiFi Router works perfectly on the same device when I run it on Android OS.
So it looks like the problem is in some WM settings or drivers but not in Radio version.
I'd prefer not to downgrade the Radio but to fix the issue in another way.
Maybe there are better solutions???
upgrade the radio version - same advice as above
Same problem with WiFi
Hello, I have exact same problem with Wifi Signal strength and I have the following software versions: OS: 5.2.29148, Manila 2.5.201914.0, ROM Artemis 44.0 WWE, Radio 2.15.50.14. So everything is latest, I have nothing to upgrade. Problem is with Artemis ROM I can't downgrade the Radio, it says in his thread that a lower version won't be compatible ( I am at 3m from Wifi Router with 1 line of signal, barely connects and when I put the phone down on the desk it loses the link completely, even with Beste Wifi Performance on. I am absolutely sure it's not the router because with my laptop I have full power and datarate. If I turn WiFiRouter (the embedded app) on and leave the phone in exact same position I can go at 2 brick walls away and still have 3/5 signal strenght on my laptop when connected to the phone and internet works ok. So it's not only in Android, I can bet it's some sh*t setting in WM. Please help.
the temporary solution I use is to change power mode in advanced WiFi settings to the left one - "maximum efficiency" or sth like this (sorry, have non-e\nglish ROM, so don't know the proper names)

Best Wifi Performance is called and yes I tried with that on also and same results
It may be that the aerial has disconnected. How is the FM Radio & Bluetooth reception?
i have noted that my brother's tmobile 3.14 rom hd2 has a slightly weak wi-fi antenna in winmo, even with wireless n mode activated (though only at a fairly long distance unlike yours)...but it pulls the signal and works well in android...my leo (india), 3.14 rom works without problems in wino and android at the same distance...... i guess its with the tmobile specific winmo rom/radio?
Hey guys,
Just looking for some guidance here. I'm coming from GTP 1.5.1b which was using the MR2 radio: 1.39.00.0508w. Yesterday I flashed BAMF GB 3.0 RC2 with the same radio currently installed. I have WIFI and voice connectivity but when I turn on Mobile data I get no connection for 3G/1X. I did mess with the Toolkit and switch to LTE/CDMA and back to CDMA only which did nothing for my 3G but it did give me a short bit of 4G while I was in a certain area but I quickly lost it and it went back to nothing after I drove through.

If you went to CDMA only and you got 4G you have a problem.
I would flash a stock rooted OTA (with the radio) and see if the problem persists, if so, have it replaced.
Sorry I think we misunterstood each other. I meant I was in CDMA only by default, switched to CDMA/LTE and got 4G for a brief moment as I was driving through a 4G area and then went back to no data after I left it.. My next step was to revert back to stock again
I have had the SAME problem for 2 days now. First with Gingeritis then BAMF RC2
Reverting to stock did not help for me, I actually tried every radio. I could get 3G/4G in a VZW store with repeaters everywhere, step outside and walk 20 feet and I'd lose everything. Bottom line, VZW is sending me a new phone.
I reverted to old radio 1.13.605.7 and old backup and got 3g back. Gonna try reflashing RC2 fresh and mr2 radio. Just confirming that mr2 is version 1.39.00.0508w and I'm not flashing something wrong.
FIXED. After reverting back I updated radio, booted to recovery and flashed rom and viola.
Glad it worked out
I had a problem where I couldn't get connection until I flashed it with the latest leaked radio. Even after that, it took 15-20 minutes to actually get coverage
the radios are jacked, it's not the phones.
I am not sure when/where/why, but since I switched to the roms based off the 3.17 OTA update, I have had no 1x Data on my EVO LTE. 3G/4G work fine, the HD Voice is great, but when I am outside of 3G range, I have no data connection whatsoever and the phone gives me data call failures almost nonstop.
I have tried flashing the latest radios, bootloader, etc but so far nothing has gotten my 1x data back. (though it is a bit tough to test. Is there a way to force 1X only on Sprint?)
Right now I am on the Sense 5 Y8 rom and while it is fantastic, I still want to get 1X back so I was wondering if formatting everything in Recovery, then running the latest RUU from HTC's site to hopefully restore/update everything in the phone would work.
That is the closest to force restoring the phone to default correct? Has anyone else had an issue similar to this?
