Just got my Trinity a few weeks ago so was very nervous about flashing my ROM.

But... I did it and I'm so glad I did!

Just got to say a big thanks to mUn and racerx_ for his brilliant guide.

Indigo is looking so nice and is running SO much faster than the WM5 my Trinity came with.

Just curious if anyone know if theres a way to downgrade my wing to wm5, wm6 is nice and all, but i love the speed of wm5, and i use wisbar for the themes, it just seems like wm6 bogs everything down, even overclocked

to 276! and the system tweaked. Anyone know if theres a way to downgrade??? Thanks for any reponses!:confused:

Someone correct me if i'm wrong (as I dont have a wing) but AFAIK the T-Mobile Wing came with WM6 factory installed. The only option I can think of would be to cook your own, but it wouldnt be worth the time in my opinion.

PS: Not sure if you are aware or not of the Pagepool modification which would greatly improve the speed of many OS programs. If not heres a link:

couldnt u just pay for CID Unlocking through imei-check and then flash an unbranded Herald RUU rom? that's the only way possible. a rom flash is a rom flash, even if its downgrading. I think thats the only way possible

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] massimo729:
Same thing here in Italy with TIM phone company.

I think that the HDSPA problem is not a radio software fault, if i try to call my Tytn while i am on an HDSPA session, the tone from the phone company is not "free" or "busy", it is the one they use when a number is wrong or the line is absent or broken.

I will check the battery usage too.

Cheers

3G acquire really fast

I upgraded from 1.48 to 1.50 about 2 hours ago so can't comment on battery or call clarity/dropping yet. Reception is about the same, but I have noticed that 3G acquire is way faster with the 1.50 over the 1.48. Used to take 30sec to 1min to find network then 10-15sec for each of the steps up to 3G, so 10-15 at G then 10-15 at E and then finally 3G. Now in under 2 seconds it has the 3G after finding the network. The switch down from 3G to E also seems smoother, but haven't had time to really test yet.

This may be subjective also but it seems that the connecting/locating in IE is faster also with a quicker switch to H when getting data.

1.50 seems to also hold on to a connection longer, in areas around the office I used to get dropped from the network seem to stay at 1 bar longer, don't know if it's really connected yet or just thinks it is.

I'm in AT&T in the Seattle Eastside area.

Just Upgraded

I came from radio 1.40.30.00 straight up to 1.50.00.00 and so far all seems well. I instantly gained one bar in my house which has always been 3 bars since I bought my 8525.

I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado using At&t. Will report back after after a few days of usage.

Updated 8/14/07

So I've been on this radio for 4 days and I'm pretty happy with. My reception is still very good with no dropped calls. On my previous radio 3 out of 4 calls always started out with an echo ( I would hear my own voice). So far this has only happened once in the last 4 days and it really didn't even last very long.

Battery life seems about the same. I haven't noticed anything significant either way. Try it, I think you'll like it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ach2:
Up to now, my radio of choice has been 1.38 - I travel worldwide and all others are good in some parts of the globe but bad in others.

So far I've had 1.50 on my phone in Cuautla, Mexice for over a week and it's the best one for this area - phone calls are good, none dropped, battery good and fine for downloading email. Other radios here were not so good for phone reception etc.

I'll keep this one for a while, soon returnong to UK then on to France, Germany and China - if the radio stays good I'll report back, otherwise I'll revert to 1.38 again.

My configuration is Vodaphone VPA1605 (UK version), using on UK O2 business contract.

Also, with all radios I generally find that the O2 contract has better reception in any country than my original vodaphone personal contract.

I flashed this radio last night coming from 1.48.

On the 1.48 with IM+ active all the time and 2 push mail Outlook and Hotmail Windows Live running the battery would only last 6-7 hours of usage.

Today on this radio running same apps as above, I am at 7 hour mark and I got about around 35% of battery life left so look like a good battery improvement over the 1.48 but I am going to let it contiune until I get a low battery warning. I am hoping it will last at least 9 hours.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TechBill:
Over 8 hours now and warning low battery popped up just recently and it's at 20% which is better than the 1.48 radio battery drain.

I upgraded my TyTN yesterday just after unlocking and superCID-ing AND upgrading to WM6:p ; apparently it has better reception (one bar more in the basement) and more important the battery is still at 100 % this morning!

Seem unable to get UMTS to work, but that could have something to do with the fact that I now use my KPN (work) SIM in this phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] stevebonning:
UPdate to my previous note of radio 1.50; here in the Baltimore, Maryland area, I continue to have more bars and overall better reception; battery life is slightly better.

One issue that I've noticed is that I am gettting calls that go directly to voice mail. I've called my phone from the office and watch it quickly flash a notice of a call without ring or vibe (it's set to ring AND vibe) then go right to voice mail. This has also happened when travelling through Delaware and receiving a call from a Delaware number. It does NOT happen if the number is in my contact list. Software issue??

Otherwise better reception, longer battery life, no dropped calls. Will continue using it

I am using Radio 1.50 for over a week now, I noticed that the battery charge is dependant on the charging method and source (power adaptor or USB through computer).

All in all, I am quite happy with 1.50 performance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ma499:
Best method for battery charging?

Interesting. So which is better? Charging by USB or with the power adapter?

The exact same thing happened to me the other day, although I can't be 100% sure the drop was on my side. Gotta test some more and see...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CoMMy:
After trying several radios here is my discovery.

1.50 is far superior and less buggy then any previous version. I recommend using it. I have 0 dropped calls so far.

The only bug in all radios i have found so far, is if when you switch standby mode on your PDA and you where so happening to receive a call or an sms at that time, it will NOT come through! Your phone will get bugged and will not be able to receive any calls / sms until you reboot or get an sms again!

Seems very stable. The 1.47 (or was it 1.49.... hmmm) had a "gravely" BT and several of my 8525's got quite hot. I had to keep going back to the 1.40.

This one has been just fine so far, thanks pof!

I have no GSM reception with this radio in my place, best result with 1.43

The sfr signal is pretty weak where I live and the luxembourg network (pretty close) is much stronger.

so no gsm with the french network and do not detect the luxembourg network (in my place)

1.43 detect the sfr network and do not switch to the luxembourg one too easily (better for my bild)

I've been using 1.50.00.00 for about a week and a half now and I've noticed that when tethered, the battery gets extremely hot. It got so hot last night that the phone stopped charging (constant orange) and changed to a quick blinking orange.. it blinked very fast. Seemed like a warning indicator? Has anyone else had an overheating issue with 1.50? I downgraded to 1.47.00.10 and have had no overheating issues so far. Plus the battery life seems longer, but the reception is not as good.

I also researched this and found that some believe it can be the battery, the phone, the micro sd card, or the radio.

Any input would be appreciated.

Louisville KY

Ive tried every radio so far and keep going back to 1.47. 1.50 in the central part of the city works great but when you get to the outter ring of the city i go from 5 bars to 2-3 wheras with 1.47 I almost always have 5 bars. Also 1.50 is not to good at all inside office buildings.

Just as a reminder when it comes to optimal battery life, the lower your siginal the harder the phone tries to contact the nearest tower, so if you see you are running 1-2 bars, expect very short battery life. I went to Cincinnati a few weeks back with radio 1.47 and I put my phone in my travel bag inside the hotel closet by the time we got back from lunch / dinner outting the phone was screaming at me to plug it in. When I grabbed it to look at the signal status I noticed 1 bar... the dam thing ran itself into the ground...

Greetings,

Yesterday i upgraded my Hermes to WM6 from HTC website, everything went fine, but since i cannot recieve any calls but can call and everything else is fine, i'm new in this but here are more details:

Rom version : 3.54.256.2

Rom date : 07/06/07

Radio version : 1.47.00.10

Protocole version : 32.80.7020.20H

Ext. rom version : 3.54.256.103

I live in France and using Bouygues Telecom, i read on a french forum that the problem might be this radio version with Bouygues Telecom.

Are there any from France that have resolved this problem? is it easy to change the rom? and is there any guide on this great forum to learn how to do that?

thank you for your help!

Downgraded your radio version to 1.40 or 1.41. I suffer this experience as well

I got the 1.47 with the official German WM6 upgrade. Reception was good, but the battery was sucked empty in almost a day. Then I went to 1.50 and battery lifetime increased a little, but I had a few broken calls. Now I'm on 1.48...

What is it, that HTC always alternates between either good battery/poor reception or poor battery/good reception? Isn't there a compromise? Isn't it possible to save battery in standby and go to full power on calls? Or even write a little tool, that gives the user a slider to select between power saving and reception? *argh* :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wacky.banana:
Hmm,

I have just gone back to 1.47.00.10. 1.50.00.00 was fine to start with then I noticed that when calls came in I would answer them but not be able to take the call. The phone bit is as important as the PDA, if not more, so its back to 1.47.

When I was trawling here a while back I'm sure I saw a thread somewhere that said that only releases ending in .10 were suitable for the Hermes. Anyone recall that, is that the case?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ma499:
I've tried this out a few times and don't think it's true. When charging through USB how do you decide when it is 'full'? Do you take it off when the indicator reaches 100% or when it actually stops charging and the red led turns green? In my experience, given that the battery indicator only goes up in 10% increments, there can be some time between when it shows 100% and when the battery is really fully charged. The AC adapter seems to charge faster so this time period is reduced meaning that it is more likely that your phone really is at 100% if you are not waiting to see if charging has stopped.

Hi wacky.banana,

I went from WM5 straight to the unofficial T-Mobile UK WM6 ROM with radio 1.50, and after a week or so I started having exactly the same issues as you described above, I couldn’t answer incoming calls, the radio kept losing signal and the phone was freezing etc, Sometimes I could only correct the issue after a a few soft resets. So I switched back to 1.48 3 days ago, but still seem to have similar issues, as if 1.50 messed something up in the ROM permanently. How is your experience, is the phone part working fine for you, now you’ve switched back to 1.47 ?

I’m just flashing 1.47 at the moment and see how that goes. If I still have the same problems, I think I’ll just have to reinstall the whole ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nloding:
My first time flashing my Hermes (8525) ... I put 1.50 on as the radio and it's brilliant. It came with 1.43, and in the "Garden Level" (ie, dungeon) of my work building (which is where my office is), I had no signal at all with 1.43 -- couldn't send a text message or anything -- calls wouldn't ring through at all; I'd just go upstairs and the voicemail would chime.

Installed 1.50 .. I get 1-2 bars depending on where I am, and calls are clear. I do not use the EDGE/GPRS network yet, so no comments on that. I just live off wifi at the moment.

Used v1.47/50 before , now finally fall backto v1.40 .

I bought a new X01HT w/1.47 radio before , but it barely last for 1 day (8 hrs work with moderate use of GPRS) , it drops about 60% after 8 hrs . So I upgrade it to v1.50 afterward .

Yes , the situtation is better , however , it still drops about 50% after same usage . Still not acceptable .

Finally , changed back to v1.40 , it only drops about 30% for same usage . Wow , amazing !

But , when compare v1.40 and 1.50 , obviosuly the data connection stability of v1.50 is much better then v1.40 . The connection seldom time out suddenly when compare to v1.40 .

However , I need a device with longer working hour , so I still go for v1.40 . :p
