My house is terrible also. I usually sit around 95/103. No difference with the new radio.. Might be a fringe coverage area.
[Droid Incredible General] zombolt:
Now that you mention it my GPS is wonky as well.
[Droid Incredible General] musical_chairs:
My GPS seems to be working OK. It took a few minutes to get the first fix, but I hadn't used it in a few weeks, and it took a while for the first fix that time too. I haven't tried any navigating or anything.

I have yet to see any proveable improvements in service with this new radio. But then, service at my house is excellent, it would be difficult to notice if it got better. And the dead spots I drive through on my way to work are - well - dead spots. Even my beloved old Motorola E815 couldn't hold a call through there.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Gps fine here. Havent used it since i installed the radio, but i got a fix in 9 secs, and its accurate. The cellular radio is seperate from the gps chip, therfore changing the radio should not affect gps. However it could affect vzw network location services

Have you guys not getting better or worse service tried a prl update.
[Droid Incredible General] omniatic:
Full wipe and a flash of the newest CM9 nightly and the gps problems are fixed. Don't know what borked it, but it works fine now. Locks to 3 meters in 5 seconds indoors. Radio is still the best yet.

sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible General] Shano56:
gps works fine here. been doing dirty flashes for a while since drk.hd a6, on a nightly now. It's a little inaccurate but i dont think thats the radio issue
[Droid Incredible General] Stupifier:
No GPS Lock problems with new radio for me. No real big difference in signal at my house.....but significant improvements on-the-go. About 10-15dBm siginal improvement when I'm driving around or in a metro area.
[Droid Incredible General] taihard:
Just updated mine, I was on the 10.07.07 radio before. For me so far, the gps locked on in about 5 seconds in google maps (BTW i'm running CCM7.2 v15) but i'm not sure about my signal yet, before it hung around 71 but would jump between 61-75. Right now it seems to hang around 68-73 but it jumps from 61-81. I never saw it jump into the 80s here at work on the .07.07 radio, but I only flashed radio about 5 min ago and did a prl update after flashing it so it's a little too early to tell. Anyways, preliminary report i'd say it gives me about the same signal as .07.07 with maybe a slight/negligible improvement as it mostly hangs around 68 while the .07.07 mostly hung around 71.
[Droid Incredible General] anuragnigam:
I observed a slight improvement in the signal level about 5-10 db. Been on this radio since last 4 days.

GPS fixed in 2secs flat with "GPS Status" app.
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
After running for about a week I can say this is no longer working great for me. It seemed to work well with Sense but ICS.. its giving me terrible signal I've been hitting high 90's and staying in and around 70-80.

I am now going to update it back to the one before.
[Droid Incredible General] sparkplugDev:
So I have a few questions after having been running this radio since you pulled it from the OTA update, first I am curious as to what those numbers everyone has been referencing and how you can check them. I assume they have something to do with signal quality... But like withbloodskies said, it seems to have terrible quality for me since I started using ICS as my daily driver. I am not sure if it has anything to do with battery life though because I started using them at around the same time and there was a drastic increase in battery life for me on ICS but it also came with much worse signal and I seem to need to get on to wifi to even get MMS :/ I might revert to 7.07 but I feel like I might want to try one of the EVO ones also... I know it is all relative to location but does anyone have any suggestions for central MD? haha
[Droid Incredible General] Shano56:
go into settings, about phone, status.

look at signal strength. you will see a number and dBm. The lower the dBm the better
[Droid Incredible General] statusqu0:
Not much signal strength change. I'm in a bad coverage area so I didn't expect much. Average around -90. Near instant gps lock.
[Droid Incredible General] Laxnkio:
Have the new radio running on Touch of Blue 2.2 and it's working great. Quick GPS lock and about a 5-10dBm increase. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Went from 99 to 88 after this Radio! Thanks a bunch sir! I'm sure its better overall elsewhere too!
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
If I flash the new radio, and the new hboot, will the OTA update notification stop popping up?

Also, what else was included in the OTA update, that is not a new hboot and radio?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
No just flashing the radio and hboot will not stop the notification. You must use a rom based on 4.08.605.15 or edit your current build.prop to make it seem as though you are.

Not to much was updated. A few background apps were added, no clue what they do. Several framework files were updated, i believe to support the new background apps and the new app associations menu in settings/applications. Said to have updated blutooth for comoatability with more cars and headsets. Also several stock apks were updated. All in all the only visiual difference is the app associations menu.
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
Lame. but thank you for the info. Still undecided on whether or not to flash these
[Droid Incredible General] Shano56:
It won't hurt. Just document the one you are currently on incase the new one works worse for you. I was skeptical at first, but was glad i made the decision!
[Droid Incredible General] newchamp:
My G.P.S. seems to be quicker. I live in a 'Dead Zone' and see no improvement in call quality. I still need to use a network extender.
[Droid Incredible General] Shano56:
Yes, no radio can magically spwan signal to where signal doesn't exist :D
[Droid Incredible General] newchamp:
By 'dead zone' I would have about 95-98 dbm signal without network extender. The good news I was driving along the freeway today and they were erecting a new tower that would be visible from the house, albeit about 3/4 of a mile away. Hopefully Verizon will be on the tower.
[Droid Incredible General] baciv:
(link back up)

DInc'd with the XDA app
[Droid Incredible General] Stefenatefun:
This worked all right. I usually get around -90dBm at my house, but with this, I get around 84dBm.
[Droid Incredible General] pepp67:
I have seen an average 4-5 db improvement at work. Someone said my phone 'screeched' on them since I updated, but I suppose that could be from any number of network issues too.
[Droid Incredible General] jacobsensei:
Didn't really see any improvement went back to 0707.

I tried to run this thru Hboot and it says "no image". I have flashed radios in the past with no problem. It is named PB31IMG.zip, it is not named .zip.zip and the md5 checks out. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] Pons:
Reformat your card to FAT32.
[Droid Incredible General] omniatic:
Put it on a blank card by itself and try it. Be sure the card is formatted FAT32.

...sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible General] zimlokks:
Thanks

Better signal wen i had service nd had better battery life :) ppl should update their radios it helps everyone out
[Droid Incredible General] gts24:
interesting, wasn't aware there was a radio update for this phone. I've had decent luck with the dinc's reception thus far.
[Droid Incredible General] neyel8r:
great!

can't believe i just found this; probably because i just hadn't thought to look...

just flashed it & seeing a 10dBm increase so far & even as much as 13dBm at times.

edit: i believe i used to get around -99 to -102dBm on my old radio in a terrible reception area... i've seen it increase to as much as -82 with this one in the same area-- drastic improvement!

many thanks! :good:
[Droid Incredible General] viper909:
Surprised they're still updating the radios...

I'll try it later today and report back.
[Droid Incredible General] viper909:
Seems to be working well so far, minor improvement in signal quality and a pretty quick lock.
[Droid Incredible General] imattxc:
this radio reduced my signal strength in the Atlanta area.
[Droid Incredible General] superfreak420:
Can't seem to get this to install. When I install just keeps saying installation aborted please help
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
How are you trying to install it, throug hboot as a PB31IMG.zip? If not, thats how its done. If thats is what your doing, try reformating the sdcard fat32 with a pc and try again. The file must be named PB31IMG.zip and be on your sd in no folders. Also you must be s-off to flash radios.
[HTC Sensation] tennyleaz:
Hello community,

I have an Atrix, and it is quite old now... I want a larger screen :)

Planning to get a Sensation to replace it, and i have some questions to ask about it:

1. How is the battery life?

Would it get very hot while using?

2. How is the build quality? ie. any chance to be easily broken?

I havd my Atrix repaired several times because of digitizer.

3. Are the current ICS roms stable enough?

And, does unlocking bootloader/flashing a custom rom easy?

How about gaming?

4. Sensation's spec better than Atrix or not?

I mean, for normal web or apps using, 768MB ram is enough?

Thanks for any advices.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Ok so not biased answer it worth it but if you can expand your budget little bit more might aswell get a galaxy nexus however for your question :

#1 : battery life is pure crap on stock battery unless you get an anker otherwise you can get more then 1-2 hours screen on time..

It depends how you use your phone if you game alot alot ot heats up easily but i do normal use sometimes it gets hot but overall it isn't that bad..

#2 : build quality is quite good feels good in the hand it isnt easily breakable but keep in mind if you drop your sensation there is always a chance of cracking the screen...

#3 : yes ics roms are really stable most of the have 90% of the things working there is some small issues such as on aosp roms or cm9 wiping sd card will hard brick your phone otherwise things like camera and so on works...

i cant really answer to this one as my phone was already s-off unlocked bootloader but from the forums it seems quite hard...

Gaming is good if you'd ask me but it still lags a little bit on gta 3

#4 : yes specs are better and ram is plenty enough on sense rom i always have 250mb free and on aosp roms about 340mb free..

But as i said having a anker is a must if your an moderate user !

[HTC Sensation] DonDizzurp:
1. decent/average.. and yea it gets hot.. depends on your kernel setup too

2. there are several hardware defects that affect random people. digitizer, deathgrip, low speaker quality, etc.. mines been fine so i cant really add much to this. pretty solid build though, sort of typical of HTC

3. 90-99.9% stable, still a few things here and there.. not necessarily to do with our phone but with ICS in general. VERY easy to unlock and root and get s-off.. but ive been doing this to htc phones for years so i guess experience counts. gaming is as it should be. some games might not work with certain sense 4.0 or other ICS roms for some. everything works for me though

4. yes. especially if you decide to do the CM/MIUI/AOSP/AOKP route (aka sense-less, lol) youll have more than enough free memory
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
The bug about it reformatting the NAND and not the SD card has been fixed and is no longer present in the current ASOP or AOKP builds, but to be safe I recommend only using AOSP or AOKP builds from April to current. But the rest of the info you gave is pretty spot on,

Also the current method of S-off for Hboot versions 1.21.0000 and up is Juopunutbear S-off is a little tricky because you have to use the wire trick. But if you follow the guides that are in this forum you should not have to much trouble.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Yeah forgot that vorbeth fixed it in his cm9 build sorry :-) so now what we are close to like a 95% working ice cream sandwich rom?

Ok, thanks for informations.

A Sensation in Taiwan now is priced about 280~300USD, just fit my budget.

I'm reading the s-off guide... somewhat complicated than motorola devices, but I think I can make it.

How about the battery life on ICS roms vs. GB roms?
[HTC Sensation] rezkon:
I have a Htc Senseation and ive had heaps of phones, battery life for me..is okish with screen brightness lowered but i would like to get a anker battery,

The ICS Roms are really Good for me i love the Team PKMN with the little tweaks makes it very more..my own :D

Ive only had about 3 issues, 1 Boot looping..and that was due to my own fault.

2 a Camera issue with a rom but that was due to my own error

3 a couple of random shutdowns from something but again..my own fault.

Basically i have Setcpu , System Tuner , And cputuner running

im 18 and i was able to root it so if you have any experience rooting..you should had NO issues, just post and ask around most people are very helpful to guide you with a how to :) So Far my fav phone.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
On stock GB & battery I was getting 12hrs life with only 1 or 2hr screen time, with ICS (VI ROM) and Anker battery I get between 1 and 2 days life and up to 9hrs screen time.

Everyone's usage is different but there's nothing wrong with the hardware.

The only limitation is the custom ROM scene, most developers bypassed or moved on from the Sensation. Custom ROMs are miles better than stock, but development is pretty static now.
[HTC Sensation] anees27:
Based on my personal experience, I will not buy a HTC phone again. This is a shame considering I have the Desire as well.

I have been plagued by the following problems:

death grip ( i know most phones experience this at some point, but this is no excuse )

missed calls - even with a full signal strength, my phone would not even ring

reboots at random intervals

HTC do make good phones, but apparently the One X on the Vodafone UK network is also plagued by signal loss.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I love my sensation!

Yes its worth getting! battery life can be worked with I got a long lasting battery it makes a huge difference! Rooting can be difficult depending on your h boot version but I promise its well worth it and very do able. Just follow the guide to s off and rooting. You will do fine. Ice Never had problems with my device and I flash a lot. Mine has proven sturdy and solid. I have no complaints. I really enjoy everything about my device! Ics custom roms have proven to be more stable than stock roms! ice never got a reboot on a custom ROM and ice tried several, even sense 4. I can honestly say I'm still enjoying my device! Thanks to the developers here at xda. If your rooted you make your device rudely your own. if you don't like something just change it. the customization is wonderful! You can create a device thats truely yours with the help of rooting, roms, kernels, and mods! Its always fresh never boreing! I think you will be completely happy. I know I am! Your not stuck with something you don't like because you change and modify it to what you want. I don't understand how anyone can complain about that! You have the ability to change it on the deepest levels. My advice is to try many roms until you find what suits you! Then you can change kernels and mods and really customize your device. Warning its highly addictive lol. bottom line IM still happy after a year. I think you will be also. I must say rooting is a must! Also s off. Then you will be on your way to making your device custom AND TRUELY your own creation! Enjoy every step of the way! I think you will love it! I know I do. Best of luck and have fun!
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Your not getting 9h screen on time no matter what post some pics! I the sgs3 which has 2100mah cannot achieve that...

By the way add like 40$ more and you can get the galaxy nexus off the market place here on xda really at that price it doesn't worth it...

[HTC Sensation] DontHaveAMainAccount:
Just to chip in here, I'm a complete noob at this stuff but a few days ago I just followed this guide and went from stock ICS to rooted with a custom ROM in only a few hours, and much of that was spent waiting for files to download. I highly recommend you follow it, and if you do, modify step 4b a little bit. Everything Superwipe does can be done by a 4EXT wipe, so replace step 4b with:

Download the custom ROM you want, you don't need Superwipe

Place the zip on your sd card

Reboot into recovery

Perform a full wipe ("wipe | format" --> "format all partitions (except sd card)")

Enable smartflash ("tools" --> "enable 4EXT SmartFlash")

Flash the new ROM ("install from sd card" --> "choose zip from sd card" --> select zip)

And once you're rooted you can repeat this process as many times as you want each time you want to try out a new ROM
[HTC Sensation] D F:
HTC sensation is worth every penny. I am inloved with this phone. I have been using one since January. I rooted it and installed a custom ROM on it. The phone fits perfectly with my needs. It is fast enough, nice design, good material quality so, yeah, I reccomend it.

Now, is it possible for me to downgrade 4est recovery from v2.... to v.1 and stuff RC?
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
The damn speaker is so awesome, I've made a conscious decision not to buy a HTC phone again. Galaxy s 3 or the eagerly awaited Google nexus with jelly bean should be a wise choice.

What do you guys think about the dude claiming 9hrs of screen on time ?

[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
I would suggest a Nexus instead. Google has decreased $50 off the original price, so that's $350 for an unlocked phone, with superior specs than the Sensation, for pretty much a similar price and priority OTA updates from Google. It'll be getting JB anything now.

"superior specs than the sensation" LOL

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4219&idPhone2=3875

the slight ram increase is not worth anything, the typical end user will find no difference with the CPU and GPU differences, and not many people even care to use the front facing camera or require HD quality..

other than that, its a downgrade to get the nexus.. its not like we wont get a JB version ROM lol devs are always hard at work

also... sense > any other UI including stock

If i return my HTC EVO 3D back to a stock 2.17 ROM, will i get the ICS update if it comes out?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Ummm yes. You will be stock, and will receive the update just like any other person on a stock rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
But, you may also lose root / S-Off and may not get it back for months or ever. I would wait until a dev puts out a custom version.
[HTC EVO 3D] kickyoace:
Just dl the ruu when it gets here and delete the recovery and hboot mostly just the hboot imgs from it on winrar if u got s-off and even through in a cool splash screen and ur good to go +1 to all them modders and Google lol
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Hey guys, I believe somewhere there was a thing to flash where toggling airplane mode could fix connection issues after a reboot instead of having to keep rebooting and hoping for internet. Can anyone post a link to this mod or give me a suggestion how to possibly get internet back? Thanks.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
EDIT: would adding an APN help? epc.tmobile.com?
[HTC One S] CubeCloudOS:
I have no idea what your talking about but I have a problem like yours where the data won't connect and adding APN's are useless... :p i dont know
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Found a way to make it connect for sure on next reboot. Go Settings>network setting>APN and press menu and look for reset default. Then reboot. 5/5 times on reboot it connected for me so far.
[HTC One S] frdd:
Do you mean the temp fix in cm9 alpha 12? Haven't tried it myself yet.

"Not much is changed, but Intervigil hacked up a temporary fix that should get RIL to startup properly and eliminate ‘no data on reboot’ issues. Also this included all latest cyanogenmod changes.

Changelog Alpha12

Fixed RILD startup"
[HTC One S] LikeaG2root:
Issue is fixed on alpha 12 cm9 but not on aokp. If on aokp you need to have radio zip on sdcard then shut off phone/boot into bootloader manually/boot into recovery/flash radio zip/reboot system. Your radio should be back on until you reboot again unfortunately.

Anyways CM9 is working a lot better than aokp.

This just started today. My notification light is a constant blue. It won't go off. I have no notifications of any kind. In fact I turned off everything. I'm not using Lightflow. I wiped cache and dalvik and even reflashed the Kernel (Franco). It's really eating the battery.

Any solutions? Most appreciative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
which rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StormCell:
Franco #190
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
thats the kernel lol. if youre on AOKP or CM9 check the led light settings

if its not that then it must be one of the apps in the background
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StormCell:
Duh, sorry. I knew that. It's stock.

I can't find any running Apps that would enable an always on blue light. I've never seen this light except by modification. My green notification light is definitely not engaged at the moment as I've gotten numerous texts and emails that would have triggered it.

Any ideas at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
have you got lightflow installed but disabled? if so you can check the accessibility settings to see if it is actually turned off,

other than that i cant see what could be causing a blue led. the GNex led by default is white for notifications. last resort would be to do a backup and factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StormCell:
No Lightflow installed.

Damn!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
install a battery monitoring application to see what exactly is eating your battery, that might show up with something

You said in the OP you weren't using it, not that it wasn't installed. If you're going to be rude, then fix the problem yourself.

Facebook notifications are completely turned off.

Handcent has been installed forever. But I haven't made any changes to the notification process. And the light doesn't blink. When the screen is off it is constant on.

The light recently turned off. But as soon as I unlocked it and locked it again the light came back.

Weird....and sooo frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shilent:
All of your LED notifications are disabled? In that case, enable them ALL! LOL, That's what I would do anyway. And try to receive as many notifications as possible. Worth a shot.

At this point, I would just wipe the phone and redo a clean install. You'll end up less frustrate than trial and error to find the fix.
