For some reason it can't hold a 3g connection for 5 minutes before it goes to 1x. I'm on thee official mr2 radio. Should I be using mr2.5 ? If so links, just make sure they're not dead.
More info needed. Did this just start? Did it start after flashing the ROM?
I am running the same ROM but using the .704 radio Chingy leaked and no issues at all. You can get it from his site.

Uh, its been a problem for beta 6 and 7 for me. I don't have this problem on 1.2. Also the battery really drains. I'm gonna try that radio you were talking about
Im on beta 6, dont have that problem either, try the new chingy radio like the above poster said, works great for me.

I'm using the MR2.5 radio and getting crazy long battery life. I thought the Chingy leaked radio was junk on many fronts. Namely, it holding a signal sucked. Somewhat the same with the MR2 leak. Please don't bark orders to post links and demand they be assured to work. It's rude. Go look for them yourself. It's not like its actually hard to do.

Hi you guys. Please forgive a n00b girl's question... But...
I have had my fascinate for a while (Oct 2010) but at times the reception was horrible and I absolutely came to despise the stock Touchwiz ROM.
So, just as I was getting to my wits' end (and jump ship to a better phone), the official froyo release came along and most of my cures were answered. In an attempt to get the froyo upgrade to take (I had the dreaded update failure issue), I've rooted my fascinate and experienced the joys of custom ROMs, kernels, and mods.
So, now, I am LOVING the fascinate... But the signal still seems to suck compared to other VZW 3G phones.
So... What radio versions work best? I have the ED01 running on mine using the Evil Fascination 3.5.1 and OTB 1.3 kernel.
Do any seem to get better reception?
Thanks, guys! Keep up the good work!

Hey robyna, have you tried the EC01 radio and have you updated your PRL lately?

I have updated PRL... Haven't tried EC01. Is it better than the ED01 that comes with the froyo OTA?
I'm using ED01 with the Community ROM. My device seems little faster with GPS lock than EC01 was but every device acts different.

The conventional wisdom is that ec01 was just a leaked-and-renamed version of what was shortly thereafter released as ed01.
It's possible that ed01 was a slightly later build... I've seen no consensus on either being better than the other, but ed01 was the one that got officially released.
More recently (last week), vzw pushed an ota update to ed03 which included a new modem. you can get ed03 by following the same instructions found here to "get to ed01 quickly". We've not yet seen a flashable packaging of the ed03 modem afaik.
I'm running the ed03 modem, it runs fine but I can't say I've seen obviously better reception than ed01.

Hi all, just wanted to find out your opinions in updating from MR1 to MR2 aside from the facts that newer ROMs will only work with MR2 or 2.5. I'm still running ThunderRom with an MR1 radio and so far my thunderbolt's actually running faster than it was on the newer ROMs.

The 2.75 and the release from chingy have been my favorites. Much better 4G/3G handoff than the previous radios. I do believe that every Bolt is different and will react differently to certain radios.
I've had the best luck with mr2 under cm7 using dream kernel... that combo gives me the best battery life in a aosp rom.. mr2.5 was fine but seemed to drain my battery much quicker. Haven't tried mr2.75 though.

I was wondering what I need to do to get back to stock, but stay rooted... I'm running infusedtheory currently. Just getting tired of reboots and freezes with every ROM I've tried. Unless someone can point me to a rock solid ROM... Thanks..

Install one of the stock roms for rooted phones if you want stock on a rooted phone. Gingeritis 3d is rock solid for me
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
If you're getting freezes and reboots on custom roms, that to me sounds more like a kernel/O'C issue or maybe even a hardware problem.
My phone hasn't been unrooted since launch but even when I flashed my first custom Rom everything was much smoother.

infusedtheory is a beta ROM using the new htc kernel. Every ROM using that kernel is having issues.
I would use gingertheory or the older senseless rom by droidtheory. Those have been rock solid for 95% of the users. You might need to play with speedtweak, but droidtheory's roms have been very good.
I got reboots on the old radios but the new mr2 has run great with no reboots on any BAMF roms I've run lately.
Official 1.70.605.0 MR2 OTA
This is the official OTA MR2 ROM rooted and deodexed. This is a stock as you can get while still rooted.
thanks to all of you... i installed the gingeritis 3d and it is running perfectly. i don't think i've used a rom/kernal combination that didn't reboot or turn off on me at some point and i've ran this for nearly 2 days now and its been flawless. just fyi to you guys, i was getting reboots on the mr2, mr2.5, and the newer .627 (i think thats the one) radios, with numerous roms. i installed them correctly, i'm sure of that. not sure what the deal was. oh well, gingeritis 3d is pretty awesome. thanks again everyone.
Any feedback on the new 802 GB radio? How's it seem to be working? I've been using the MR2 forever cause it has worked the best for me.
Just thought I would ask before I try it.
Been running the last couple days... Get better 4g lock in fringe areas... Overall feels stapler..

Seems okay so far. Might have gotten better bat life on 2.5.
Thunderbolt CM7 1.3
Tiamat 1.0.4
I'm getting better data reception. Getting 3 bars 4G in the hospital I previosly couldn't get a lock
tbolt ^_^_^
Battery life??? Better?
New 802 radio
I have not tried it yet, I am running BAMF 3.0 4.9
Anyone try it yet?
I will probably flash the new radio tonight to see how it works.
i loaded this and there is no difference in the signal from MR 2.5, although my TB is in a 3G-only city so no idea if there's a difference with 4G or not.
i haven't tested out battery life yet though as the phone's been charging a few hours now(extended battery).
oh and i'm using A05PTH3ORY V1.4X
i don't use leaked beta radios. i don't need a brick.
well, i gave it a go. im using DT's AO5 however the hell you spell it AOSP rom. that and i have the 2750mAh extended battery. normally, when i go to bed, the next day the battery has lost 10 - 15%.... with this new radio, the battery was at 98% when i went to bed, then 69% when i woke up. i think im going to switch back to the MR 2.5
Can we please begin using RUU numbers to describe radios. The actual radio number most people use is just one of them and MRblah,blah,blah doesn't tell you jack because there's 2 MR2 radios, and it seems people are just inventing MR numbers now. Someone posted they were using the MR3.25 radio somewhere today. WHAT??? MR3???
The 802 radio has given me betterblife in both MonolithTh3ory and Cl3anTh3ory roms. Can't hurt to try it its benefited lots of us so far.

I'm a fan of if it ain't broke don't fix it. The only new radio I flashed was when i HAD to for the GB radio. Other than that, I have left mine be.

Yes, the battery life is amazing on the newest GB build 2.11. I thought it was regitering wrong but it was correct. I highly recommended.
Can someone link me to this 802 radio?

Hi guys, is MeanROM 3.6 running as smoothly for you as the prior beta versions (on the older base) did? I am about to make the upgrade but it seems like the newer one might have stability issues that the prior versions didn't...
I'd ask the guys in the MeanROM thread. They're very nice there.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Yeah, the problem is that that thread is approaching 10,000 replies, and it is getting less useful as it is TOO long, and too many topics all at once
Plus u can't post over there till hit 10 posts funny thing is that doesn't seem to prevent stupid questions.. I've had more issues with 3.6 than any other mean Rom yet... Been on it since 1.8.. but cant ask 4 help cause I'm a "noob" even though I'm not.. sorry jus needed to vent with the last part..
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Ah, well that is helpful information. I'm going to hold off on it then as the only thing I am really missing (running stock now) is the wakeup with camera button feature.
Out of curiosity, what issues have you been having?

I don't know if this will help you but I did a factory reset before flashing it. I don't know why, I usually dirty flash all his. I just decided to this time. Also I don't know if anyone else has tried but I finally took the S off plunge after flashing. I did not have any issues with the 3.6 build. Every other build kept saying can't find bamboo.
3.6 is what previous Rom suppose to be. I mean this thing is running great with no known problem for me. Older Rom I was not able to watch hd quality YouTube directly from the browser ( desktop mode), this 3.6 play up to 1080p perfectly from browser.

I thought u had to revert to original base before running lazy panda.. also is anyone still having their SD card gettin wiped ? Thinking about doing it although I'm on 1.12 so no rush
MeanRom 3.6 is by far the best version so far and I've been running MeanRom since the first release. The people that are having problems are the ones that can't update their firmware properly. This is an early release of the new base and Mikey doesn't have all of his tweaks ported over yet. But it is definitely better than stock, and more solid than the others. I am s-off so the upgrade was seamless. The other great thing about MeanRom is you can dirty flash every version. No need to factory reset for each version.

I think it is the smoothest of all his releases. While not all his tweaks are ported over to the new baseband it still an awesome Rom and once he gets tweaks ported it will be even better. Give it some time. I usually dirty wipe all Mike's updates but I decided to clean wipe because of the baseband change. I did that when we went from 1.13 to 1.22 as well don't ever have problems. Great Rom hands down. Flash it, love it, enjoy it!

I did a full reset.. wifi randomly disconnects even after choosing 2.4 GHz smart WiFi and all recommended settings, I dial a # and htcdialer force closes, I work in a sprint call center lol and the 4g I get there is great but the icon says I'm still on 4g even when I leave work, I'm in Denver where there is no official LTE...only the repeater we have in the building... Don't get me wrong, mikeys got the best Rom I've ran on ne phone, jus the firmware up + an unfortunate brick equals problems
