There is a new Radio from Imate in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms Anyone try it and is it any better. I didnt download it yet but I imagine take the RUUSigned and put with RUU Wrapper v4 and I'll try it out today.
Here is the thread about the ROM update that is containing the new Radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299597
I combined the RUU with the Olipro RUUWrapper v4 and uploaded to a NON Rapidshare mirror and added to wiki.
http://www.bestsharing.com/files/INdT1250288/RUU Radio Only 1.38.30.10.exe.html
Radios can be uploaded to the xda ftp, the M$ crap was just for ROMs.
been trying it out for the past 2 days...i don't know if it's the new combo of the new Lvsw build with this radio but my battery has gone down faster. I work in a building where typically reception is from poor to non-existent. I carry the phone in my pocket and set to auto band mode and the past two days working from 8 to 1 Battery life have been going down to 40%. On the older wm6 builds with 1.38.00.10 I can typically get around 70% by the time I leave work...
So what's everyone else getting? Have you experienced a decrease in battery life?
On a plus note, I can see that it hangs on to a 3G signal longer before it switches to Edge and a very slight increase in reception.
its no real change from the 1.38 update.... just fixes for WCDMA on the 850Mhz band....

I noticed the battery drain too.
I noticed something "strange" but I can't assure (yet) if it's caused by this Radio ROM or by the WWE AKU 3.3.1 ROM.
The strange behaviour is that my phone auto switched-on apparently without reason (?). It happens when I enter in the underground and the phone losses the signal, and when I leave the underground and the phone catch the signal again...
Since I've installed the Radio ROM and the AKU 3.3.1 almost at same time, I don't know what is the cause. But I will return to a prior Radio ROM in order to know it.
In any case, did anyone noticed something similar?
BTW: Bootloader 1.11 is really fast flashing radio!!!
Fail at 7% ...
Trying to upgrade from the HTC ROM 2.11 which install SPL 1.11
When I run the radio only upgrade, it will start flashing but will stop at around 7%, then reboot.
Any ideas?

Tests finished. It's not a radio behaviour; it's a AKU 3.3.1 behaviour. Does anybody knows how to deactivate it?

No Battery Drain here

My battery is holding charge just fine. My phone hasn't been plugged in since I left for lunch from work yesterday afternoon. I have used it to make several calls and emails since yesterday and it's still showing a full charge.
Of course I live in an area that has really good coverage as well, so my phone doesn't search for signal that much.
I can report the same... no noticed change to battery life.
I have noticed a massive change with battery life. Also i cant go a call more than 30sec with out it breaking up, never a problem before with 1.34
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have been running version 2.11 for the HTC Qtek (South Africa) on my imate JasJam, it was running 1.38.00.10
I upgraded the radio to 1.38.30.10, and three times in 24 hours now I've noticed that the jasjam was asking for my PIN code and had switched the phone off.
This never happened with the earlier 1.38.
Has anyone experienced something similar ?
Thanks
JY
No, not to me..
Maybe depends by the ROM installed..
I upgraded the Radio for 2 days and can tell the followings: -
The time required to search network in Hong Kong (3 HK) has been reduced and the signal is stronger than 1.38.00.10. However, I notice one problem, I tried to call my mobile a few times after the upgrade, and 2 out of 10 calls had been directed to voice mail (signal was strong at that time). Don't know it is the problem of this rom or I had that problem long ago (as I hadn't tried before to call myself so many time).
Hi, everyone knows, that 4.000.6 Touch is the best ROM ever made, but as I read through many threads and topics on xda-dev, it seems that probably about one fifth of all users of this great rom is having a terrible problem with its battery drain. Normally, the drain is supposed to be quite good, even better than on WM5. Usually about 4% per night, some even 2% or less.
BUT those with the battery problem have often 5-10% per ONE HOUR. The drain after wake up is from 50mA to 120mA and the drain when using the phone (no wireless, display at maximum level) goes from 140mA to 450mA and so. (Drain after awake is supposed to be around 5mA on well-working ROM).
SO, if you have experienced similar problem, please write down your phone settings. Mine are below and I HAVE drain problem. So we can find out, if there is something we have in common or not and we´ll be able to solve the problem. (it is enough if you post only your Radio (GSM) version, but for being sure, I post everything )
Greetings
HTC Prophet
ROM version: 4.0.0.0.6 WWE --------------l
ROM date: 2/02/07 ---------------------------l
Radio version: 02.07.20 ----------------------l (these can be found in settings/system/device information)
Protocol version: 413.1.03 ------------------l
ExtROM version: 4.0.0.0.6 PV-Touch -----l
IPL: 2.09 ----------------------l
SPL: 2.09.0000 --------------l(these you can see during soft-reset)
I have radio v 2.19.21 and had battery drain issues but also with radio rom 2.69.xx. Usually 1-3 soft resets resolve the draining issues (and I mean _real_ soft resets with the stylus and not with ShutXP).
These problems seem to be related to the lockup-on-boot problem, the first time my battery drained that fast was after one of those lockups.
All that makes me think the problem could be registry-related, since WM6 flushes some reg settings when you do a real soft reset and keeps them when you make a software-induced soft reset.
I had the same issue as Infestor,
Not usually any massive issues, although my battery does seem to drain quicker than some of the other roms I've tried, but once my boot screen froze my battery was practically flat by the morning ( it froze overnight I think)?
The problem is in the new camera app...
ok, I´ll try few soft soft-resets and see what will happen. But I´ve never had any problems with boot lockups (and I have flashed this ROM several times already).
Also the new camera drivers shouldnt´t cause the problem, because then everyone using this ROM would have this problem as well. Btw I think, that in 4.000.6 Touch are the old camera drivers used, but I am not sure, so I will check this out...

It's the old camera driver in the rom not the new driver
Well, well... After around 7 soft-resets (in different combinations) the problem seems to be still here... 135mA with screen on level 3
I thought that flash on Gollums new ROM may solve the problem, but Infestor is apparently using it and he experienced problems too, so it will not be probably something breathtaking
the camera driver in 4.000.6-Touch is really the old (supposed to be good) one: Camera 3.02.23018
Who will solve this is the Master of Riddles.
I havecome to the conclusion that it caused by SR sometime don't clear the memory and therefor there is not enough memory to boot the system so it just gets stuck.... we need an app that starts first in the boot that clears the memory or something like that.... I think that the solution we should look for
Hm, yeah that sounds interesting, but again, I have to say that my Prophet after a week of hard work and lots of SR haven´t experienced any boot stuck. It works with its memory very well, only my battery acts like water pump during summer floods. But certainly such an app might help solve even this.

Let me see... hm, nothing special. Only poutlook.ink, Services.ink and WiFiInit.Ink
Somewhere I´ve read about WiFiInit problems, but it should have been solved already I think.
i think i figured the problem, i had some occasional HUGE battery drain issues,
then my phone wakes from stand by the battery drain was huge.
i did a hard reset, installed everything except battery status, and everything got a lott better.
i think there is an incompatibility with battery status beta 1.04 and this rom.
I had the problems with PDAViet 5 and 6, I installed gullums Touch v6 just yesterday and I have no complaints on this one so far...

I have installed battery status just because I wanted to know how big the drain really is. I wouldn´t install it if I haven´t experienced battery problems before BS instalation, because I like SPB pocket plus much more But maybe thi sversion is somehow strange...I will find out, what version is mine... it is 0.04.203
i must add that strangely even when the thing is in absolute low consumption (hibernation???) it wakes up. and after the previously configured time goes on then it tourns off.
i know this because:
a) have seen it
b) ching battery status (i think its the name), that also has an up time counter, shows me that it has been on more than it should, 'cause i hiibernated it.
there you have a power consumption issue...
The BatteryStatus that goes well in this ROM 4.0.0.6 is the 219
The radio goes the 2.61 well to me
PS: Not English, i use translator, sorry by the annoyances
battery draining is so if you use htc cam.if you remove htc new cam your problem should be fixed, but another problem may be begun,you can not use our perivious cam,because all things in it rotate 180 degrree.
I have flashed to Gullums V6 Touch and battery problem is solved
It is not as quick as Cloudyfa´s one, but still good and very stable - and lasts more than one day
mine does get me into the 3rd day.
it depends on how many times i connect to my wifi network... or how many hours i listen to my mp3 gallery....
usually it last 2 days... using pda viet, and although the little thingy that it turns on ....
I have the problem, too.
My xda neo shows in the morning 100% and, without use, in the afternoon 8%.
My battery hold only one day without use, then I must charge again.

PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW IS IT.
if it solve the memory leakage problem .
And if the battery doesn't drain so fast.
Eh...what memory leakage? I have been using the previous WM6 ROM for several months, and the few times I have to do a soft reset (maybe once a week, max twice) it's because the WiFi isn't working after a sync.
More longer you use it, the memory leakage will be solve alittle by alittle.
For more than 1 month without hardreset, i able to get 27mb free RAM after reboot and the 2G MiniSD still inside.
Megaupload is very annoying. I've uploaded the ROM to http://rapidshare.com/files/59257870/Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2.exe.html

Well, memory leak is a real problem. If you use ActiveSync, MMS, Windows Live, then you would be haunted by the memory leak.
Anyway, this version solves some problem,
1) Windows Live feature does not try to connect to GPRS/3G anymore if you are connected to the internet via WiFi.
2) Esmertec Java is replaced by JBlend. Welcome 3D to Java world!
3) O2 Connect service is improved... a little. Never use it though... the downside is, you can't remove it, but you can disable the service.
Allso...
after update the Rom i see a that the Radio change:
OLD : AL1-KLNC-2.3.40T-070601-2
NEW: AL1_KLNC2340_070905_RS001
don't know if mean somthing.
one more thing.
The Camera is now Fixed, the zoom is working, and it's much faster.
It also looks like that the memory leakage problem is less annoying
last night after the Rom updae I had 21.72 MB now after 8 hours I have 21.70 MB.
I hope that the problem has gone away.

Is there any hang when updating ROM? I read some many threads from other forums, sometimes Atom Life hangs when up ROM. If no, I will update ROM then. If yes, please let me know how to avoid it.
Any comments are highly appreciate.
Thanks in advanced.
I have had no hanging problem. Thankyou.
But, I am facing two problems :
a) Phone restarts w/o reason many times (This problem existed earlier aswell, b4 ROM upgrade)
b) When I use Wi-Fi, and after display goes into stand-by mode (after non-usage for a while), the phone display doesnot come back. (NEW PROBLEM, after ROM upgrade). The only option I have is to soft reset.
Phone resets are usually not software, but hardware related. Often bad battery connections.
The reason why I don't have a memory leak is probably that I don't use any of the Windows Live stuff. That's for kids, and I'm past 40...
But I have a problem with this ROM: The phone doesn't charge when it's connected to my computer with the Active Sync cable. It used to charge, only very slowly. Now the battery slowly drains instead! Does anybody else see this?
About the memory leak, if you didn't run any applications like MMS application, Windows Live, ActiveSync, then you are safe. Anyway, if you soft reset the device and doesn't use it to run any applications for 8 hours, you won't get a memory leak. You need to use the device to run applications to see it. But some are not memory leak. It is the way Windows work. Some code (shared modules) are not released after used because it is hoped that the next applications the user open will be using the same shared modules. The phone application (cprog.exe) also consume quite a lot of memory if you have a lot of contacts. After using it to dial and receive calls, you'll notice that it will be consuming more and more memory. So, on average, you will get around 10mb of free main memory.
Regarding device restarting itself, I only get this when I was using WM5 rom. Actually it doesn't restart itself, it shutdown itself (turned off completely). After using three WM6 rom releases, I haven't have this issue. So, it might have been hardware related (like battery). It might also be 3rd party application like PhoneAlarm. For PhoneAlarm, the device might soft reset after receiving SMS.
Regarding device freezing, I'm not having this problem also. If I do, I know that it is caused by any 3rd party applications I've installed. To investigate this part, you'll need to hard reset and force yourself to try using the device for about a week to see if it still freezes. If it does, bring it back to O2 for warranty claim.
Regarding the latest ROM update, I noticed that the camera DID start faster but the video recording is way too slow. During video recording, the frame rate on the screen is very very very very slow. For the photo shot, the shooting is quite quick but the saving part (save to main memory) is slower compared to previous rom.
I get what you mean about the memory leak. I only use NetRemote (which closes itself completely and doesn't leave anything), Pocket IE (which I up to now have closed with PocketPlus, but I have dumped PP because it gave me a few phone problems every now and then), the phone part and contacts and calendar. But I do active sync, and I haven't seen any problems there.
Well, I have faced 2 problems with this WM6 ROM:
1/ The battery life is no longer than the WM5 it maybe drains the battery more quickly. The old one I used for 2 days in normal condition (call, listen music, radio and a little bit Wifi) while new one with the same condition I only used it for more than 15 hours.
2/ When using wifi more than 30 minutes continuously, the battery become so hot (hotter than the WM5 version).
Does anybody face these problems above? If you know how to overcome them please share me.
Any comment is highly appreciate.
hello guys... I have a question..
right now I am using WM6 Chinese version, is it possible for me to upgrade to WM6 ENG version???
if so, how to do it?
MANY THANKS

You get 15 hours? With my normal use (without bluetooth on), getting 12 hours is considered lucky for me. With bluetooth on, 8 hours and it is dead.
Same goes with WM5.
Okay, I haven't used my Hermes as a phone (since it's near to impossible to get a SIM-card in Japan), but now I got one and I noticed the battery drain really quickly. I can't even have it one for one day, but I used to have it on for two days before I had to recharge, and then I had beam and bluetooth running. So I need a new radio.
The question I have is, I have CRC's latest stable, flashed on a Swedish device. Can I flash any radio? (That's listed in the wiki) I've flashed ROM's and I figure the procedure is pretty much the same, but I can't find if I can use any radio? My operator i SoftBank if that's any help. Will this affect SoftBanks special text-service? (Mails instead of SMS, a real pain to get it working)
While we're at it, anyone got a recommendation for Tokyo? What I have now is 1.07.01.10.
Thanks for you patience! Please don't kill me, I just don't want to do something bad.
If you have HardSPL installed, flashing Radio ROMs is pretty safe, provided you do that from an SD card and not via a USB cable. Just avoid 1.54.x radios as they're known to be dangerous to the radio hardware. It's also a good idea to read the corresponding thread before flashing the radio ROM - people frequently provide their feedback as for stability, reception quality and power consumption.
P.S. They say 1.47.30.00 is quite good power consumption-wise.
Man, more 1.54.xx.xx bashing... I don't know why its said that 1.54.xx.xx is dangerous, I've been using here in Australia for as long as its been available. Never had a problem with the radio... I have 2 Hermes and they are both running 1.54.30.10.
Maybe it has a problem if the provider doesn't support it...
Anyway, if you know anyone in Japan with a Hermes, see what radio they're running... Unless one of our members knows what radio it is they use over there...
Cheers...
Thanks for your replies!
I tried the 1.47.30.00 and it's just as power hungry as the one I used before. Battery is now down at 43 % after 5 hours (completely charged in the beginning) and I haven't even really used it. I have to use 3G since GSM doesn't exist in Japan, which of course is a battery drainer, but come on... This won't last a day! Could be the battery since it's a fairly old phone (a year or two, not sure), but without the phone on it lasted easily two days with music running around 5 hours per day and some other daily use (looking up in dictionary, taking notes, etc).
Unfortunately as you said, 3G is a power eater... You might think about getting an extended life battery, 1500Mah or possibly a 3000Mah battery. Just remember though that the larger the battery the bigger the size and the heavier your Hermes gets...
Cheers...
Once again, thanks for your reply!
But is this drastical drop off battery time normal? I mean, it has more than halfed! The other normal phones I've had, worked atleast week one a full charge, using 3G, and the last one had a 880 Mah battery.
It's probably more convenient for me to carry an extra phone than using a bigger battery, cheaper and easier to find. >.<
I found an enabled data-connection setting in the Comm Manager that hadn't been disabled before. After a few hours of testing it would seem that the batterylife has greatly improved, but haven't done any real testing yet. Strange thing is, if I disable this Data Connection and leave the Comm Manager open, it will enable itself. But if I quit fast enough it's disable.
But what is it? I'm using a prepaid phone with no possiblities to access an internet connection with 3G, 3G is phone only. (And SoftBanks very strange text service)
Hi all,
When I unlocked my phone, I used junoper bears unlock. I did the whole shabang including his firmware. Since then My battery is terrible. I even purchased the Anker battery that everyone raves about. I can't even get a half day out of it. I changed batteries at the t-mobile store as well. Still half day worth of battery life. Is it possible that the firmware or RUU may be bad? I am currently on
HBOOT 1-93.0002
v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
Thanks for any help
i'd suggest you to
1) charge to 100% battery
2) reflash the FULL RUU (radio, stock rom, ... should be >400MB) for your specific phone. You can find links in the develop forum
mine had that problem when I got it from someone else (phone wouldn't last 8 hours)... reflashed the full RUU, phone lasts longer now (>16 hours depending on usage)
ok, I will try this and report back. Thanks
