I'm using MDA Vario II in UK with LVSW's ROM releases. I have found out that Radio ROM is somewhat unstable - sometimes it just hangs, making Phone feature of Hermes completely unusable (I can use other apps and stuff, tough), unless I do soft reset. It happens quite randomly, for example when I try to initiate/hang-up the call, or receive SMS delivery notification, or do anything which is related with the phone. Sometimes it works perfect for few days, sometimes I can experience these hangs 2-3 times a day.

Tested Radio ROMs are 1.41 and 1.40 - both with same results. :( Maybe I shall revert to the original Radio ROM from T-Mobile (v1.05 AFAIR)? Any other possible solutions from other T-Mobile UK users around here? Thanks in advance.

I'm using lvsw's + same radio. It work really well for me. not had any of the issues you described with it.

Hi

I have been on the 1.40.30.00 radio rom and had good results although last week when i was in wales my dads stock 1.05 radio with stock Tmobile (older) rom produced better internet stability on 3g than mine did.

That said im was very happy with 1.40.30.00. However i ahve today upgrade to 1.43.00.00 which has a long thread about it in the upgrades channel. (basicly i wanted to see what it was like...)

I would be happy to report back my finding in in the next few days to you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
Thanks for quick replies. One more question - are you using VoIP application? I mean, not simultaneously with GSM/3G, but do you have it enabled with some SIP account and use it occasionally?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] indecizion:
Recommend 1.43.00.00

I higly recommend upgrading to radio 1.43.00.00. I'm on T-Mobile UK in London and have been using it since it was released a couple of weeks ago and have no compliants at all. The reception is perfect and data speeds are good.

Battery life is probably the only questionable part, but I haven't really been keeping an eye on it to be honest. No 'low battery' messages like I used to get on the original radio anyways. Currently on 60% after almost a full day of calls, push email, and general use.

I tried 1.38, 1.40, and 1.41 and had nothing but dropped calls and really bad reception, it was terrible. The only thing I've noticed with 1.43 is that after I make a call in a 3G area and look at my phone, the data connection has been killed and it only shows as G and not 3G. It goes back to normal after that though, so not an issue for me. Not sure if this is radio or ROM related tho.

Don't use any VoIP apps so can't comment on that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Im using radio 1.43.00.00 (the current one), works fine on 3G and GSM.

The VoIP im using over Wifi (obviously Tmobile dont allow it on 3G/GSM), im using SIPGate as you can register a residential number for it aswell....works great over wifi im uni and at home. Paypal payment for call charges is also a bonus ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
I know SIPgate, I have a number registered (0207 Central London number in Heathrow area ;), and I'm using it at home with FritzBox 7050 WLAN device. On my Hermes I use IPFON.pl, which is Polish-based VoIP provider.

Anyway, looks like in your case VoIP application does not interfere with Radio ROM. Maybe I shall upgrade to 1.43 too...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
Actually I haven't got any problems with dropped calls and/or bad reception, both with 1.40 and 1.41 Radio ROMs. It's just a matter of freezing Phone module from time to time, which forces me to restart whole device. :(

Back to the radio post...

Using 1.43 here with no problems so far. Noticed 2 changes to date from original T-Mobile radio (1.05.05.00): calls are now louder with very slight hiss at higher volume, and the radio seems to hold 3G for longer when it previously switched to a higher signal 2g connection - obviously better for data and might also save on battery power. I have not seen any higher signal strength at home but 3G is 'perhaps' more often available.

No missed or dropped calls so far and after upgradeding IPL/SPL using HardSPL (as per recs) it took me less that 7 mins total for the radio flash!

I have not tried any other radios so cannot comment on them and whether 1.43 is better; but, compared to the original I'd say 1.43 is an improvement :).

said i'd post back with my findings,

48 hours latter im very happy with this 1.43.00.00 i'll stick with it.

(I was in a very poor reception area yesturday and it seems to be on a par with the stock tmobile radio rom that my sister and father still have... i found that 1.40.30.00 was worse than the stock radio rom when i was in a poor reception area in wales.)

(as for battery, i can't say my usage pattern changes daily. so long as i can get through a day with scheduled send and recive then im happy to charge each night when i set my alarm for the morning.)

I'm using 1.43 now after a few problems with 1.41 (dropped network, having to go in and out of flight mode to get GPRS/3G up again).

Been on 1.43 for 24 hours now and immediately noticed better signal strength, and a better preference for 3G. Also it doesn't seem to have dropped the network like the 1.41 radio rom did, but it might be too early to tell.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
I've switched off VoIP application lately, and I haven't noticed any problems with radio since then. :-o But I'll try v1.43 if I find any troubles later on.

I used to run 1.43 but had a bugger of a time with it. Rolled back to 1.40. I roam all over the South East from Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex & London (West to East), and find 1.40 a dandy radio. In all honest 1.27 was a cracker too...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sparkyjf:
Just to add my 2 cents - I'm on T-Mobile UK, and I work in an area with really bad reception, and so good reception is important for me. Based in and around the London area. I'm currently running 1.43 radio, and I'm very pleased with it - so far I can't report any real problems with it, and it get's probably the best/most reliable signal in the office. For me 1.38 was also very good, but I didn't really get on with 1.40 or 1.41.

Just to let you guys know - since I have disabled VoIP application (Phone settings -> Internet -> Never) around 1-2 weeks ago, I haven't experienced even single phone hang! I'm really impressed, and it seems like VoIP app was the cause of such problems in my case...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] robt2379:
Im also on Tmobile Uktoo, my signal at home is excellent but at work is very poor. I have tried all the radio roms but seem to always go back to 1.27.

I think it originally came from a Tmob rom released in Germany and for me it still seems overall the best. I dont get a better signal in the marginal areas with any of the newer roms, and when the signals good it doesnt seem to matter which radio I use.

Anyone had any info yet from Tmob on the Vario 3 (Kaiser)? Ive held back my upgrade waiting for a release.

I'm in Birmingham and the Black Country (UK) and am using T-Mobile. I had the original 1.05 radio, followed by 1.40 and now 1.43.

HSDPA is important to me as I use it as a modem for my laptop. I haven't had any trouble with any of these radio ROMs. Good signal and HSDPA in most areas when I needed it.

I know that response unhelpful but aren't I lucky! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
Thanks, just additional question - do you use VoIP app in your Hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DTheTank:
Not personally however my friend does. He's on the 1.40 radio and using Black Majik. He got SIP working using WM6 internet calling. He's had to do some tweaking to get it to work for him. He said he needed to edit a .XML file with his SIP settings and then create a .cab file which 'provisions' your phone with the settings. Also a MajikVoIP patch from the 4WinMobile forums website. I'll get more details if you need me to.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
That's fine, I just wanted to confirm whether my problems with Radio are related with VoIP or not.

Btw, tell your friend about SipConfigTool :)

I've been using BBS and WLD for a few days now and I can't see the issue.

I left the house this morning with 100% and with very minimal usage (no ohones calls, a few WhatsApp, and Relay reddit app) I am already down to 54%.

When my phone is in sleep mode and not being used it seems fine but as soon as I start using it the battery runs down very quickly.

I have attached some screenshots of my BBS and WLD as well.

[General Questions and Answers] ReMi-:
Dear XDA Members,

I'm having some issues with the battery of my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. About 2 weeks ago, 2 phones in this house, a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and Huawei Ascend P7, started (quite simultaneously) to have battery issues. They both are on the stock rom and are not rooted. To sketch the degree of the issue: the Huawei had about 40% after 7 hours standby with 3 minutes screen on time. The Samsung lost 65% in one night just being idle.

At first we thought it were the phones that were having the issues, so we returned the Huawei to the shop (about 40 kilometers away). The people of the shop called yesterday, saying that the phone is lying in the shop for over 3 days now, still having 40% percent of battery. This made us think it was something with the antennas here in the neighbourhood.

In the mean time we had already bought a new battery for the Samsung (an original Samsung battery), and I have performed a factory reset. The battery still drains quite heavily when airplane mode isn't enabled. However, last night the Samsung still lost over 15% with airplane mode enable and all recent apps killed.

I completely lost track about what the issue can be. To me it seems that the fact that the phones started having issues at the same time is caused by an external factor. But in that case, I cannot explain the 15% overnight battery drain on the S4 Mini on airplane mode with a new battery. Should I return the Galaxy S4 Mini to Samsung to have it looked at and fixed, or should I try some other things first?

If anyone wants some more information about the issue or the devices, I'll happily provide it.

Thanks in advance!

Note: It is not my intention to root the S4 Mini or push settings to the limit to have 0% battery drain, I just want 1 or 2 days of battery life again, depending on the usage.

Edit: There are also a OnePlus One and Galaxy Gio being used in our house, who do not seem to have severe issues. This confuses me even more about the external factors (antenna failure?) that might be draining the battery. We all have the same provider...
[General Questions and Answers] adithyan25:
There are many ways to save your battery life:_

some of them are as follows:---

***Go to recovery and clear cache this will help improve the battery.. Use clean master from play store, which will disable / stop unwanted apps, clear app cache.

***Try using Greenify

***I recommend GSAM battery monitor app from play store. It's very easy to understand and is very good at locating battery issues.

:good::good::o:o
[General Questions and Answers] Tyaginator:
In settings>battery check your mobile network signal of last night and see if there is any app that is sucking your battery.

You should try greenify but you need root access.
[General Questions and Answers] ReMi-:
Thanks for your answers. If the problems do not get solved I will indeed try some of those apps (I've used Greenify earlier, I know it's great :) )

I've monitored the apps draining the battery, and in fact there aren't many apps that use a lot of battery. It's mostly the screen or mobile radio active, which makes me think it's something antenna related.

I've spoken to my neighbour who is a customer of the same provider, and he indicated he has issues to since a few weeks. I mailed to my provider and see how things turn out :)

Thanks for your tips!
[General Questions and Answers] Tyaginator:
Yeah i also think the problem is in network quality, you should try another sim for some time and see the difference.

Having done dozens of updates over the past couple of years I've finally had my first problem occur. I've searched the other postings and been unable to find anything which is similar to the effects that I'm getting.

For some reason I'm unable to upgrade the radio rom - just the radio rom, the other roms updates go in perfectly OK.

The universal displays the screen that it's "started upgrading.... Please wait" but then nothing happens. Eventually the the upgrade tool times out. I've tried about 10 different radio roms (ones that I know I've loaded before) but no luck.

All firewalls are turned off, I'm not using vista, direct USB connection, and other roms update OK so I'm really not sure what's happened. It's now left me with a universal with no radio rom at all!

Has anyone any ideas or is it perhaps that this rom has broke in the device?

I'm new to my hermes( htc tytn )

I have a few questions

1. when your battery goes down, how does it go down? e.g in 1% at a time or about an hour later or so you'll see it jump down by 10%. in other words 10% at a time

2. how does the keyboard auto backlight sensor work? where is this sensor also?

and lastly

3. how long is a battery suppose to last using wifi?

Many Thanks,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Battery drain is only reported in 10% chunks unfortunately

Keyboard Backlight Sensor is on the keyboard just below the green phone key ( or above letter p if you prefer) Allows you to set keyboard light to come on only when darkness decends. However as it's pretty I have mine set to always on.

Mmmm. Never had it on constantly until battery goes flat. But I use it for maybe 1 to 2 hours a day and battery lasts between 1 and 2 days. Generally I charge daily.
