2. i need a backup for my radio, version "20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M" before apdate it but link in first page is broken (all links appear broken...): someone can upload it again for me?

thanks! :)

Be careful some radios posted here wipe your data. The best way to flash it stills extract radio.img from the PG88IMG.zip and do it with fastboot !

Cool, it's the good radio, it's just an writting error.

[HTC Desire S] heriarias:
Question

Please, someone knows what the radio version has better signal strength and range?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
it depends on the rom :rolleyes:

and normally the last ;)
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
My advise is to flash new Radio only if you had problems with your current radio! If you're not facing any problems and the signal's good, don't flash a new Radio. Just my advise, usually a new version should fix some bugs, but I just don't feel the differences. Maybe it just me.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
+1 with @nodeffects

if you've any problem with your current radio, and felling good, don't change.

But otherwise, change your radio.

@heriarias

What's your rom ?
[HTC Desire S] heriarias:
Thanks for your quick answer. My ROM "HTC Bliss S v3 (Beta) and my Hboot 2.00.2002

Again thanks!!

P.D: Sorry, forget to mention that I have radio: 20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00.24_M. It also has very little coverage, very easily lose the signal.

I need a radio or something that can connect my ds wih a low signal

I need a big boost for my wifi
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
did you try to change the wifi channel ?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
If you have an access to your wifi router, change the channel and test them to find the one that will allow for a better reception.

Don't forget to change it on your DS wifi settings

That's what I did for a better reception at home.;)
[HTC Desire S] kylon:

I can t change ch.but i read that there is a fix that allow ds to connect to low signal

Do you know how can i reproduce that on my virtuois?

But remove the 'PG88IMG.zip'-file from your sd-card(card reader..) and you should be able to get into the recovery with the usual way.

Got a few issues with this bloody phone, any help with radio fixes would be appreciated....

Incoming calls: 50% of the time when people call me, it doesn't ring, doesn't go to voicemail and just gives a few bleeps before hanging up on them.

Texts also come through late. I can make calls and send texts fine.

I have looked around on the net and it seems to be an issue for a few people.

Wi-Fi: Signal stops completely on any large downloads, isnt set to sleep and is on best performance (really annoying when trying to download something!)

Not sure if it's a radio issue (currently 3805.06.02.03_M).

Just moved from my old desire, starting to regret it!!

[HTC Desire S] kire.htc:
I flash 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M and i flash via fastboot, so there is no zip in the root.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
How did you flash the file ?

Via fastboot, have you rename PG88IMG.zip and install at the root of your sdcard.
[HTC Desire S] sirioo:
I updated the radio 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, this night my device has consumed 10% of battery in sleep mode .....

with the radio 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20 this does not happen on the night consumes 1% of battery

and a normal behavior?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
I think than the radio 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20 is much better for your rom, that you been installed in your phone. That's all ;)

I'm not sure, but If I've a got a good memory, CM7.1 needs RIL files.

And I haven't got another answer for helping you.

Sorry guys
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Do not change the RILs for CM7.1. Is not working. Also Nexx instructed not to modify (change the default ones from ROM) RILs.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
I've not writing to modify RIL Files, I've just writing that CM7.1 needs those files. :cool:
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
All the ROMs need those files ;)...but:

Quote

Do NOT flash any libhtc_ril.so into an AOSP ROM. We're using a RIL library designed for an AOSP system, flashing any of the Desire S stock ones, which are designed for a Sense ROM, will cause all manner of issues.

By all means, update the radio, but don't use the accompanying libraries or files that come with it.

[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
For me:

Rom: CyanogenMod V7.1.0 stable

Radio: 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M - that's suits for me, no battery drain, no signal loss, everything works as it should.

RIL: HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G (Mar 24 2011) - already in CM - do not change-it.

As I see in your signature you have the same specs, so it's better not to change the radio. Personally used 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 for a week, but I had 6-10% battery drain every night (exchange active sync, data enable). After switching on 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M battery drain is 1-2% in the same circumstances. For me only notable difference between the two radios were the drain. Hope it helps.

is the lastest radio working good with virtuous affinity and rcmix 4?

[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Hey guys... I'm a Desire owner, but my girlfriend has the Desire S and I recently S-OFF`ed her Hboot (Revolutionary) and flashed MIUI (1.11.11, no need to update to .18 since it doesn't really change much). Point is the ROM is CyanogenMod-based.

I don't really know what Radio she has; it can't be recent, since she has the phone since June.

I saw you reccomended 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M, freaksamael (which I believe is the 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20 file from the first page of this topic)... I also saw that people are complaining about battery drain with the new Radio from October, so I definetly won't flash that. I think I will install 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20 on her phone.

Would this radio work on her S-OFF`ed via Revolutionary HBoot (0.98.002)?

She has been complaining about :

-disability to slide-to-answer immediately (volume-key press or patience solves this) : not sure if this is ROM-related. Could the Radio be the guilty one? :/

-Wi-Fi signal going up and down (compared to my Desire, her phone is really lame when it comes to Wi-Fi strenght, or at least capability to hang onto a network)

-volume being simply TOO loud in the earpiece during phonecall (even on volume 1, it's still loud as my Desire at volume 4, lol)

As far as I know, the Radio controls only Wi-Fi, GSM, BT and GPS. But I don't know whether it has anything to do with how the screen responds to touch and to volume output - I'd say that's the kernel's job, right? Am I right or not?
[HTC Desire S] choiia:
Thank you very much. At least i found the problem. With the newest radio (20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04) i had about 15% battery drain at night. The phone was in flight mode. Yesterday i changed to radio 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M and i noticed only a battery drain of 3% with equal conditions.
[HTC Desire S] mrobo:
how to backup current RADIO ???

:eek: Is it possible to backup current RADIO ? If yes, how to do it ? Thx!
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Could be possible, via adb and dd (dumpdisk) command. But is no need to dump your radio...because is controlled by ROM via RIL (radio interface layer) and radio.img doesn't keep any settings, so your radio is (and should be) the same as the radio(s) posted here. Only RILs and build.prop entries could be different. Check your current radio version (vol-down + power at boot). You can take-it after (if need it) from this thread :)...post #1

For checking Radio and RILs versions you can use RILInfos_1.1.apk from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10382922&postcount=1 - all credits to zikyHD.

[HTC Desire S] ~babel:
I've been using radio 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 since a week and i must say this has been a nightmare: periodic signal loss, especially when speaking with somone over phone. I'm on stock european RUU (last one) and I'm willing to use an older radio.

Some guys here claimed to go for that solution. Was it a good move folks ?
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Radio: 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M - that's suits for me, no battery drain, no signal loss, everything works as it should.
[HTC Desire S] ~babel:
Thanks for your feedback, can you easily downgrade the radio with stock ruu (last version) ?
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Would that radio work on Hboot 0.98.0002 (S-OFF`ed by Revolutionary)?

Also, please tell me if I'm right. When I flashed Radio on my Desire, I did it via Recovery (CWM, 3.x at that time). But I'm not so sure about this : you just put the .zip on the root of the card and do it via Hboot?! I'm asking this cause a friend of mine RAGES about doing it via adb or something, and I don't see the point...
[HTC Desire S] budingyun:
work perfectly fine. :D

you can flash it via bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] straian:
I do not know but I use 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 radio and I dont have your problems. For me is a good radio(no battery drain). I use a rooted stock rom RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8.
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
should i attend to something if i wanna upgrade my radio? are there any conflicts with some hboot-versions or roms? what about RIL and flash a radio? my specifications can be read @ my sig.

im very confused about the topic "radio"^^

thanks a lot for everyone who can answer my questions!
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Nothing like that, the only thing you can see reading the reports is some people who had issues (battery drain, weak signal) with the latest radio, but nothing were confirmed.

So you can either try it by yourself or use the version before that.

Good luck and keep us informed ;)
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
thank u for the advice!
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I would add one more step after this:

*Remove the PG88IMG.zip file from /sdcard

Otherwise the phone will want to load it again each time you drop into bootloader

Add the 2G/3G toggle on the dropdown bar (somewhere in CyanogenMod settings) and switch to 2G whenever you don't need fast internet. This will safe you tons of battery!

And it's worth to update to the newest nightly build by jorgen (see other thread), that will give you some more battery life too. And it's totally safe to use it, runs like a charm!

Using mobile internet (non-stop) on mine lasts only 3-4 hours. lol

thats absolutely NORMAL. higher datarate = more mhz = more energy needed.

but since im updated on 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 and get a little more overall durability.

ouch, that sucks. i've just flashed version 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M the other day. no noticeable gain in signal but i'm trying to determine how long my battery will last based on my average daily use.

When using little WiFi, SMS, some calls it actually lasts more than 1 day. Mobile internet is just a killer.
