[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] lynrd:
Well, here's what I found, so far...

I have now tried 6.24.20, A20.10, and 6.25.02. OF the three, 6.25.02 seemed to pull a slightly better signal that A20.10 (One extra bar at my house). So, I reinstalled that one and will stick with that unless someone can give me a good reason to change to another stack.

Reception has not noticebly improved with any of the RS changes. Also, as you said, if I simply put the Radio Stack files in the /Windows directory and run RSUPDATE.EXE from there, I have no problems changing. The problems happen if I try putting the RSUPDATE.EXE in the /startup directory as well and then performing a warm reboot.

But it hasn't made much difference, if any at all. But strangley enough, changing the ROM back to a PPC 2002 version (3.17.03) DID seem to make a difference. I know it shouldn't, but the phone is pulling 1-2 bars more than it was in a lot of locations and is getting better coverage. The reception is still inferior to my other phone, but it is now *almost* livable...

Unfortunately, I really prefer the feature set on PPC 2003 (Particularly how it handles the GPRS connectivity) so I am going to continue to futz with it. Again I ask, anyone know of a hardware fix to improve reception??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bhuitt:
RSU Stack

Agreed. I have now thoroughly tested bot the A20 and 6.25 stacks and the 6.25 stack get's my vote. I haven't gone back to the PPC 2002 ROM yet, but I might try that too. Currently I'm running the XDA-Developers ROM 3.17. I still don't get a signal at my house with anything but the 6.25 RSU stack definately gets a clearer reception, drops less calls, and works better programmatically. With the A20 for example, even when I showed no bars, if I tried to place a call it would all of a sudden show full bars (3 on my PPC) as if I had great reception - but would never make a call. With the A20 I don't know what to believe. With the 6.25 it works better and WYSIWYG.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] lynrd:
So, glad THAT's settled...

So, I haven't found anything for a radio stack better than 6.25 . But I hate hate HATE PPC 2002 when I know the feature set of 2003SE, so, I'm going to go back to that again. I noted that during my 50 mile drive today, the phone STILL lost signal at the same spots it was previously, but would report better signal where it could get signal at all.

And it's not like I am out in the sticks, we are talking right neat the Nashville airport and down the interstate corridor.

So, at the end of the day, It looks like I will likely just be going back to the RAZR, and saving my pennies for a Himilaya or Wizard....

SO, although this is the Wallaby forum, anyone know if the antenna is any better on the later devices as compared to the Wallaby??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Marton:
Here in Argentina my PW10B1 Wallaby has poor reception too. I don't get a signal while my friends' cellphones get a strong signal with no hassles. This does not happen in urban areas, only in the road. I think the Wallaby's radio hardware is poor, or the antenna design maybe is bad.

That's a great question lynrd... do newer models have the same poor signal problem???
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] P10TR3K:
I think that is a problem of antenna design...

I have problems with signal reception in many places.Most of them happens randomly...

Hi gents,

I'm here in Vietnam and have used my XDA 1 for a long time. At first, I also faced the poor signal reception prolem but since I upgraded ROM and Radio stack, it seemed to be ok. Now I'm using Rom ver : 4.01.16 ENG/Radio ver: 4.21.00. Let's try it !

P/S: The Rom ver 4.01.16 along with Radio ver 6.25 but my advise is that you insert Program B (include 4.21.00) into Program A (4.01.16) before upgrade. Good luck ! If there's any problem, pls send and YM: gooseberry_hn

I'm still seraching a hardware solution

At the time of the "shame" (went to a beach trip with my friends, and I lost the signal all day until I hit the road back), I was using stack version 6.02, now I'm using version 6.25.20, untill now I have experience no diferences in reception, I feel tempted to buy the cirkuit to improbe reception (just U4s 2) , but it must go behind the batery, so I must disasemble the Wallaby, anyone has experience doing that?, is it easy to do?

Hey folks. I had a quick question if someone'd be so kind to oblige. I have a siemens sx-56, and i just upgraded to the special edition rom from this website. This phone was originally for AT&T and the only carrier supported by this rom was the TMobile. I have a cingular sim card. As of right now, i've unlocked the sim on the phone, but I'm not picking up any phone signal. Is there a way for me to use this on the cingular network? Will I have to upgrade my rom to the newest one that's running WM2003? Props to the developers of the special edition rom. I love all the software that it comes with. Thank you, and have a good one.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ervarm:
I have ROM 4.02.04 and rsu A20. If I want to install/try 6.25 do I (1) connect my PPC to my desk top via USB, (2) activate/connect Activesync, then (3) simply download 6.25?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WhiteWizard:
RSU Update

Yes, download all files and copy them to your Windows folder on the pocket PC, ensure that the machinne is craddled so power supply wont be an issue, then explore the windows dir in the pocket using Commander CE or whatever you have and run the EXE file to begin updating, do not place anything in the starup folder.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ervarm:
Thanks. I'd like to to all that, but:

1. I can't find the windows folder on my Pocket PC. (I can find the windows folder on my desktop.)

2. If I can't find the windows folder in the Pocket PC, I can't explore the Windows dir in the Pocket PC.

3. I don't have Commander CE, but do have 'File Explorer'.

Sorry I am not very good at this, but I am trying and really appreciate you help and patience.

By the way, I am running WM2003 and Rom 4.02.04. Is there any advantage to (a) going back to WM2002 with XDA 1.2 or (2) upgrading further to WM2003SE?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WhiteWizard:
Find the Folder

You can find the Windows folder with File Explorer, you have to select My Device in the upside bar of the Explorer, then the Windows folder will apear in the bottom.

Sticking with a 2002 version will prevent you from running a lot of programs designed for the PPC2003, one of them, MS Voice Command is one that make's the diference between this machinne and a normal celular phone (you can control the entire unit using your voice, not just make calls). This program will eat most of you 32MB of RAM, so you gonna have to install everything in a SD card, and you'll have to make a backup copy of that storage card, becouse the unit tends, from time to time, to delete the SD card (specially after a RSU update!).

If you want to go to the 2002 version and then to the 4.01.16 or somefhing like that, some people wrote that going that way you avoid errors in the flashing process, my advice?, update the RSU if you have a minor version than the 6.x, otherwise, its asking for trouble.

If you ever update a computer BIOS using the disquette process then go ahead, otherwise... good luck man.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ervarm:
OK, thanks. I found the folder and the exe. I think I'm ready to give it a try.

Looks like I'm ok with 2003 for now as it has some features I like. I'll keep your instructions in case I decide to try MS Voice Command.

Again, appreciate your help. Skip

6.25 loaded fine and is working. However, I see very little improvement in signal strength. Side by side with my wife's Samsung, she gets a steady 4-5 bars while I get 0 to, at most, 2.bars.

I assume the real problem is the Wallaby antenna design. Does anyone have any mods that improve antenna sensitivity?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WhiteWizard:
We are working on that...

I want to try those anntena stickers, like I set before, they are little circuits printed on adhesive paper, they suppose to go behind the batery, the problem, again, its that I must disasemble the Wallaby in order to remove the battery and then place the stickers.

I see 4 screws in the back of the unit, anyone know if its easy to remove the battery and if I'll lose my data in the process?, regular PDAs uset to have a coin battery as backup, this one, I don't know.

Aloha,

I have been all over this forum looking for the right info, but to no avail. I have a qtek 1010 with rom version A.20.17 ENG and Radio Version 3.28.00 loaded on it. I cannot get it to work here in the United States. Which rom version and radio stack will work with it. I also would like to unlock it but cannot do that until I have the right rom and RSU loaded.

After reading in this topic, I noticed that a couple of you have these in the U.S. Can any of you help me? I have loaded a couple different roms, but I still cannot find one that configures for the U.S.

I should let you know that I am on the Cingular network, not AT&T, as Cingular is not listed in the profile section.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] neilius:
Re: We are working on that...

Yeah those screws need a screwdriver with a Torx head, can't remember the size though. Taking the battery out will mean that you lose all your data, so make a backup to SD card or ActiveSync first then restore it when you're done. I'd be interested in seeing if that little foil sticker makes a difference to the crap reception we've all come to know and love on our Wallabys. If so, I might be tempted to make a few modifications!

Neil.

Well. wish me good luck!

I got the sitcker antena here with me now. "Cell Antenna" New & Improved Generation 2, I gonna post the pictures of the process, however I didn't realice I could loose my data, I thougth this machinnes had a extra coin battery in case of main power failure as regular PokerPC had, I dont want to loose my info, will try the backup first.

I need 2 screwdrivers, the 2 upper screws just came off with a regular plain screwdriver (the torch one is optional, you can use a regular too), however the lower ones require a Philips small screwdriver wicht I had lost, I'm going to buy one again and try the process this weekend.

I'll post the pictures and results, however those Antennas came with a note that set that improbment in reception can be perceibed only after 5 o 6 days of use, since the stickers must be charged with the static energy generated form incomning calls.

whn im trying to acces to stock recovery all i see is a red triangle with the phone....i cant even install custom recovery.

i tried a million of different firmwares etc etc but nothing.....phon is functional and everything is fine exept no wifi and network signal.

also tried to back again on stock rom with this ruu RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Stock recovery is not helpful, the triangle is normal because it's stock. To restore or install something you ALWAYS need a custom recovery.

Download another x.xx.401. Nandroid that matches your main ! Do not look at your cid for now !

And read how to restore it in the OP. Flash the boot.img AND the recovery.img from the nandroid, place the nandroid unpacked on the sdcard in it's specific dir. Full wipe and restore the nandroid.

And make sure the bootloader is unlocked, flashing with a locked/relocked bootloader will always fail !
[HTC One X] eclipse4:
thanx i will do that and post results here

what is ur opinion why i dont have wifi,bluetooth and network signal.....radio or?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davey6693:
Well, I'm usually able to dig myself out of messes I get myself into but this one has had me hunting a few hours. Here's the run-down.

1) S-OFF with 1.44 a while ago, rooted and unlocked bootloader

2) Got camera problem, would like to return phone to stock for warranty

3) Flashed a stock RUU, went fine. Stock recovery and bootloader work fine, hboot was upgraded to 1.55 (my mistake, should have noticed this)

4) Got sidetracked when trying to lock the bootloader and entered fastboot oem lock

So now I have a 're-locked' bootloader on 1.55 with S-OFF. I don't want to unlock through HTCDev, I can't use revone to unlock because I'm on 1.55, and I don't have a custom recovery, and can't flash one because I'm relocked.

Any ideas how I can unlock the bootloader here (or downgrade hboot, I have the zip but can't flash it)? I can probably handle the rest myself, after I smack myself over the head a few times.

The goal here is to have the bootloader 'LOCKED', and I'll then take my chances with S-ON, with the latest firmware but a downgraded (1.44) bootloader before handing it over for warranty purposes.
