[MENTION=4153349]timmaaa[/MENTION] - I flashed Turge's firmware on my S-OFF ViperXL 3.2.8 (as I had asked you in another thread). That went ahead successfully

ROM-ViperXL 3.2.8

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.15.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.31a.32.45.16_2

(bootloader) version-main: 5.08.111.2

(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF

(bootloader) product: evita

(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8960

(bootloader) modelid: PJ8310000

(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111

I'm a little worse off in my cellphone reception and I wanted to try one of these radios. Is flashing one of these radios fine with the new firmware ?

I assume that I should be trying out the radios from the first section only - i.e. dont flash anything from "RIL Files + Radio: (YMMV. RIL versions change from one release to the next. Turge is on Record as not supporting these for his ROMs)" or "Radios for CM10.x based ROMs pre-7/15 builds (with radio in /system/etc/firmware)" .

Is that correct? My main doubt comes from the fact that I'm running ViperXL .... and not CM and am not able to figure out whether the ROM is a pre-requisite.

NOTE: I am aware that on 2.15 firmware, I need to do "fastboot flash radio radio.img".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah you can flash those radios, and you're right in assuming only to flash the ones from the top section. Those radios are suitable for all Sense ROMs and recent aosp ROMs.

Anyone have the 3.18 Telus firmware?

I was on the latest OTA firmware before I flashed the new Sense 5 stuff. I'm finding that my radio is using quite a bit more battery now so I'd like to downgrade to what I was running before. Unless I can pull the old radio out of an old Nandroid somehow?

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

In the meantime I flashed the 3.18 ATT radio. In TWRP 2.6.1 it flashed fine.

Read I also needed to do fastboot flash radio radio.img since I'm on hboot 2.15. Tried that as well and got

sending 'radio'

writing 'radio'

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Just rebooted and all seems fine with the new firmware (checking the 'about' section shows that the new baseband is installed). So I'm not really sure if a different method for hboot 2.15 is necessary?

Would I get the any of the AT&T ones from Radios for "CM10.x based ROMs"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You only get the radios from the cm section if your cm ROM is from before the date listed in the title of that section. You're gonna have to test a few for yourself and see which one works best for you.

I think maybe the op should add to the op that if you are running the official sense 5 4.2.2 builds, either telstra or tmobile germany, you SHOULD NOT be flashing the AT&T radios in the op, as they WILL cause data drops and reboots. Not quite sure about non-AT&T radios though...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
Please help me!!

i want to change the radio keeping hboot to 2.15..

i figured out the reason for battery drain being that "phone radio" consumes a lot.

I am living in India (City Pune) please can anyone advice which will be the best radio for my region?

my current radio version and set up are in the images below!

also my battery usage pics!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Your signal looks great! Way better than mine. I have no clue why your radio is draining battery so fast. I don't know what's best in India, but you could try the 2.20 ATT. That boosted my signal a bit. But you'll need to be on the Beastmode Kernel if you are on Sense 5/4.2.2 or you'll get signal drops.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
thanks for getting back i should have started a new thread!!

well m using the elemental kernel.. beastmode tried several times but i cant get it too boot...

btw the signal is fine.. the reception is also good but its the UNUSUAL battery consumption that concerns me!:crying:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Yeah that's not normal behaviour. Are you running Elemental 8.3? I had some serious battery issues with that and needed to downgrade to 8.2 which was fine. But I don't think that's the issue for you because that was showing up in GSAM as % drained by the kernel, not the radio.

If your signal is high, then your radio shouldn't be draining much as it doesn't have to work that hard. Have you tried other ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
ya i have tried three sense based roms... d first i believe was buil 5.707 and then the official tmobile german build (both of which completely stock)

and now viper xl with elemental 8.2...

btw is are the fluctuations in signal normal?

(refer to the images i upladed)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Yes. My signal fluctuation is much worse, going all the way to the lowest, and then back up. You are on medium or high the whole time.

I'm not sure what to suggest other than going back to a 4.1 ROM. That way you'd be able to rule out any hardware problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
thanks for the suggetion...

btw Jeremy (or ne1 willing to help) is this radio file specific to rom or is it a part of the firmware..

i doubt if m right but i have read somewhere that CM comes with their own Radio!??

This was the speed I got at mahattan(2.20 radio) tmobile montly 50$ unlimited.Even though I surpassed the 500mb data limit(the speed is supposed to slow down)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The radio is completely separate to the partition where the ROM is stored. But cm used to store the radio in /system but it hasn't since mid July. So when you flash a ROM the radio remains the same until you flash a different radio.

thanks as always

kinda waited for your reply,its becoming a habit!:)

still quite confused abt the phones radio consumption thing!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I just took a look at your screenshots and your signal strength is actually pretty bad. I think the other guy has it a bit confused. The closer you get to a value of 0db, the better the signal. You must remember we're dealing with negative values though, a value of -110db is very weak signal and a value of -51db is very good signal. Your signal strength was listed as -95db so it's fairly weak, that's why it's eating up your battery.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
Thanks :)

so can u suggest anything I can do?

btw the Radios provided here are "flash able Zips" so just flash through twrp and we are done?

I really need to figure out which is the best radio for my region!

the map that's provided in the OP doesn't have any near my area?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
When it comes to radios it's really trial and error. I find the map pretty redundant anyway because there can be several factors which will influence your signal strength, so one radio might work brilliantly for you but it might be terrible for a guy a block away.

The procedure you should take is to test a few and see which performs best. So, flash one, boot, note signal strength (in settings/about phone/network, remembering -51db is great signal and -110db is weak signal), and repeat this with a few radios until you've found the one that's best for you.

and i just have to download and flash through twrp so if anything goes wrong i can get back by RESTORE?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Restoring what exactly? A ROM? That won't help, like I said earlier the radio partition is completely separate to everything else, so flashing/reporting a ROM can't/won't alter the radio. I've never had an issue with flashing radios on this phone and I've done it dozens of times.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
well then if its just flashing through recovery i will do try that!

now the only thing is how to determine the best base band or radio!

btw does any radio version that is specific to Asia can make difference?

and can i get help from my service provider ie VODAFONE?

and all of the radios mentioned in op are compatible with the RIL m having or does that need a check?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The ones that have Asia in the name are just referring to the branch of HTC or the carrier, it shouldn't make a difference to how they perform. However, one would assume that a Telstra radio would work best on the Telstra network, but it isn't always the case. Only ever use the radios from the top section, they'll be fine. Don't use the radio+ril ones or the cm ones.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
ya i will do that with trial and error,but before that i will kinda briefly go through this thread!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Yeah that's not great signal strength, but perhaps that was just a bad moment. Check his battery to signal strength graph in GSAM. That's much better than mine with everything over medium! Unless that's some glitch in GSAM that isn't showing the strength correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The fact that the signal is fluctuating quite a bit in that graph isn't a good sign. It does hit ok signal strength in parts but there's still significant battery drainage when it's dipping. Hence my suggestion to try a different radio.

No, updating the hboot updates the hboot, but that isn't what you want to do, you want to update the firmware package. They're different things, the hboot is one of the components of the firmware package. Many people just say "update to the 2.15 hboot" but that's incorrect, you need the full firmware package.

So whenever I'm in a building at school and still have one bar, I cannot receive texts nor calls. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm on the 2.20 radio and this problem is persistent no matter what rom I use. I have many friends who also have att and they can still receive texts and calls with one bar in the same building, so att is not at fault. Please please help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I've found that 1, or sometimes even 2 bars on this phone is usually pretend, and means no signal, or close to it. The bars themselves mean nothing. There is absolutely no standard for what the number of bars signify. More bars means a stronger signal than less bars, but that's really about it.

Every phone has a different antenna design, so the fact your friends have AT&T and get different reception on a different phone is not a surprise, and really means little.

You're already posing in the radio thread. So if you are s-off, try a different radio. Otherwise, there isn't much else you can do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] louslugger15:
I'm curious to what radio any of you guys on ATT are running? I'm on the newest Cleanrom w/ the newer firmware update.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bimmernut318:
I am on AT&T running the radio that comes with the 2.15 firmware with no issues with reception. I am sure that the majority of people on the new firmware are running that radio due to stability more than anything. Many have had issues with flashing older radios on the new firmware running Sense 5 ROMs due to the mismatch unless running the Beastmode kernel and there are sometimes still problems.

Regarding to this thread the OTA is available here.

Here you go. Adding to the OP as well: http://d-h.st/hIM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
What he said. Some folks have commented that reception is worse on 1.31. And reception will always be different for everyone due to locational factors.

But going to a Sense 4/4+ radio means the possible/likely occurrence of signal drops and/or random reboots, forcing you to install the Beastmode kernel. Which is not necessarily a bad option. But unless you are having significant reception issues, my personal feeling is to leave well enough alone.

I haven't noticed a reception difference on 1.31, but reception is typically good in my area anyway (so a slight difference either way is probably not going to be noticed by me).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, just had to make sure because that radio version is supposed to work best with the 2.15 firmware package. You definitely have the 2.15 hboot? If so you can try any other radio from the top section at the beginning of this thread, it's a case of trial and error until you find the right one. Whether the radio originally came with ICS or JB doesn't really matter.

Just another question though. Are the signal bars always that low? Do they ever rise when on a call or sending a text? Do you ever use mobile data and if so do they ever rise when data is being transmitted?

Yes I just installed the 2.15 hboot firmware, but signal dropped big time I will try one by one , are the files going to be flash using recovery ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes, flash with recovery. After you've flashed it note the signal strength in Settings/About Phone, and do some quick testing. Depending on your location a radio may have to work harder to get/maintain a good signal, therefore it will drain your battery faster. So it's best to leave a radio flashed for a while to see if it has any adverse effects on battery life.

Forgive me upfront if this has been asked too many times before but I have been searching for weeks and can't find a solution to my problem. I know other people are having the issue but I haven't seen a real answer yet.

My HTC One X is running with the latest firmware from hboot 2.15 using CleanROM 7.0 and Beastmode kernel 3.5. The baseband version shows 1.31a.32.45.16_2_10.141.32.34aL.

The problem: I lose the signal on my phone for around 10 to 20 seconds and this happens many times each day. The signal drops and I get the little x above the signal bar but if I wait a little bit it returns without needing to reboot or do anything else. When the signal returns it goes right back to 4 or 5 bars and works fine so I know this has nothing to do with a weak signal causing the disconnect.

This is very annoying and I often get text that fail to send because there is no signal and I lose data. I have tried using the EVITA_ATT 3.18_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34 package in the op. That didn't seem to make any difference. I didn't flash the one that included the RIL because I wasn't sure I would be able to recover easily if that failed.

Simple question, is there any known solution for how to prevent this constant loss of signal? I know I'm not the only one seeing this problem based on what I have read all over the web but I've yet to see someone say they have actually fixed the issue. Why do some people say they are using the exact same setup and they have never seen this problem? Are they just not noticing it happen or what?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The signal bars are not a valid or reliable way to measure signal strength. There is no standard to what they even mean.

Try measuring signal strength is dB. Do you actually get call drops or breaking up, or slow data speed on the network?

Signal bounce and internet is a bit slow I will keep reporting calls are fine for now
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I don't know what "signal bounce" is, and saying the data connection is slow is very vague. Do you mean its slower than on other ROMs (before you flashed Sense 5), and did you measure it using an app, and at different times of the day (as data speed is extremely dependent on network traffic).
