ATT - (Washington DC) - 3G

Picks up signal extremely fast, I would say faster than 1.54.07.00. GPRS is also quick, but I believe it comes with the cost of battery. Battery dropped 20% in an hour from regular browsing and couple of phone calls. This is noticeably higher than 1.47x and 1.48x radios.

Better signal strength and 3g where I used to get strong Edge. I like it much better. I used to think that people were just making things up about one radio being better than another, however this time I can really tell the difference.

Good upgrade from 1.54.07

I've found the Olipro 2.60 thread, and done some Wiki searching, but of course we should force folks to use version #'s that are 4 digits long, since searching for 3-character words doesn't work :)

Upgrade

I flashed this radio yesterday from 1.54.00.10. All seems really good. I will travel across country tomorrow and will give the trusty Hermes a good workout. Will report any positive/negative findings this weekend.

Over & out!

OK...back from this trip. Wisconsin to Cincinnati to Atlanta to Palm Beach, FL. In every case the radio was very quick to grab a 3G signal. Much quicker than any other radio I've had. Very stable, clear and I only had one dropped call. The only bummer was it munched on my battery.

* BEAM set to off

* No Bluetooth

* No Wifi

* Email checks every 30 minutes

I received/made a handful of calls that lasted no more than 15 minutes. I checked & answered approx. a dozen emails. With a full battery in the morning, I was getting that "Low Battery" notification by 10PM. I really like this radio overall, I'll just have to remember to have a charging device close by.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olioaglio:
Flashed this radio yesterday from previous 1.50.00.00.

Seemed fine first and no dropped calls and 3G works great,

but i ran in a major issue nonetheless :eek: :eek:

2G/GPRS data connection doesn't seem to work at least

with O2 germany here. If I disable 3G and switch to GPRS only

I cannot establish a data connection.

Could anyone confirm this??

I am going to keep my eyes on this thread, and see how this radio works in the GVRD. (Greater Vancouver Regional District) If it plays nice with Fido and Rogers I will give it a shot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] xDaMiaNx:
I'm in the GVRD as well. I'm using 1.54.07 right now on Fido. Can anyone give some info on how 1.54.30.10 is performing in Vancouver? Also, maybe post which ROM they are using it with. I'm thinking about switching to Fun_Key's 3.62 and keeping 1.54.07.

If 1.54.30.10 battery life is better, i'll switch over.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] david Vortex:
Hi.

As irockash , got a lot of missed calls, freeze with 1.54's versions.

I have even now, a SIM Unknown status, and i have to re enter pin code several times a day.

When i boot my machine (cold boot), i have sometimes "NO GSM" written instead of the radio version.

Went back to 1.51.

Orange London Radio

I am using it here in London on Orange anyone else in the UK on Orange tried this Radio?

I was on Radio_1.54.07.00 and generally very happy with it, apart from the battery life wasn't that good. This new one Radio_1.54.30.10 does seem a little better on performance but a little less good on battery life - very marginal.

Early days, to fair, I'll further test it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Walker Street:
So far so good

I'm on Vodafone in Canberra Australia.

I was on Radio Version: 1.47.30.10, which came stock with the Dopod 838 pro I bought last month. Lately, most of my calls were missed calls. The phone would ring for a split second and the call was gone before I could even grab the phone.

I upgraded to this Radio version 24 hours ago. None of my calls are missed calls so far! Battery performance looks about the same (which is OK). Sound quality is the same (which is good). 3G & HSPDA internet works great.

So far so good!

Thank you Caxio. It's just brilliant to extract this from the Telstra Rom. :)

flashing from SD? or PHone?

hello, i realize this may be the wrong thread, but i am on a mac and would like to upgrade the radio to this version... i know how to upgrade ROMs but not radios... the wiki does not help Mac users like myself, can anyone help me out. I have SuperCID on my phone (did that when i unlocked it), and have been flashing the ROMs from the SD card through OK+POWER+RESET..

i guess my question is, how can i upgrade the radio without a PC?

thanks,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Bergerac56:
The same way you upgrade OS roms with a SD card. Just copy the nbh file on the card (formatted FAT32 and preferably empty) and rename the file hermimg.nbh. OK+Power+reset and... done (be patient a radio rom loads very slowly compared with a OS rom)

Reflashed 1.50.00.00 to my TyTN as even after a second reflash of

1.54.30.10 again there was no chance with O2 germany to establish

a GPRS connection with this radio while 3G/UMTS connections worked

like a charm :confused: After downgrade to 1.50.00.00

all is working fine again... :cool:

POP3 kills battery

I did a comparison with POP3 email checking on and off.

With POP3 and pushmail on, the battery drain is around 150mA.

Without POP3 but pushmail on, the battery drain is around 70-100mA.

This is about the same for other radio versions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bchau:
Signal is good. I live in an outer suburb in Melbourne and I usually get 2 bars 3G signal with Telstra. Now I get 3 bars most of the time. At present I am in US (San Jose) and I have 4 bars.

As for battery, I have a feeling it strains out more than 1.51 which I had previously. Don't have any objective measure for that, though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Guy_Incognito:
Seems to be better overall compared to 1.47. Unsure about battery life, although it usually lives on it's car charger for me anyway when I'm out and about.

I can report that the fringe reception and call quality has improved a bit - phone will now hold voice and data calls in a previously-dead spot where I sit before I head underground to work. Which is not suprising, seeing as it's Telstra's radio rom, and I'm with Telstra, so no doubt there's a bunch of little Telstra-specific tweaks to the general parameters in there to accommodate our....interesting.... cell topology.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
:( Back to 1.51.00.10

I don't know if it's my hardware or if other people reset their phones more often then me but alot of these roms have issues with my phone if it's not reset like once aday. 1.51 is the only new radio rom that I've not had issues with.

The main problem is it seems the phone part of my phone crashes with these roms - I know that sounds confusing so let me explain.

Basically, I don't receive calls even though the phone claims to have perfect signal. When I go to make a call (either by hitting the green button or selecting phone from the start menu) nothing happens. I can not bring the dial pad up. No matter what I do, I can not make or receive a call until I reset the phone. Then the phone is usually ok for 24-48 hours and this happens again. This is clearly unacceptable behavior for a phone! :)

So do most people here just restart there phones every 24 hours (I know this is a tinkering forum so this is entirely possible), are you having this problem as well and just don't care or is it something with my hardware?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Guy_Incognito:
I don't have any problem with lockups as you describe, with any radio version. With this version, phone has been on for 4 days now with numerous calls in both directions without difficulty.

Perhaps your provider has some specific "issue" that only particular rom versions deal with?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] om-by:
Seems like every provider adapt radio to his own net-issues. Therefore T-Mobile and O2 ship ROMs with 1.50 radio, AT&T and Telstra - with 1.54, and so on.

Of course it is not prohibited to try any radio in any net :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] themilkman:
thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
Yet I have the problem with the AT&T (My operator) 1.54 as well. Yet at the same time, I don't have this problem at all with 1.51 - it works perfectly and I once had the phone run for a month straight without reset (The only reason I did was I changed the rom)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] om-by:
If operator ships something - hi is responsible for quality of services... so, AT&T is responsible ONLY for officially shipped ROM + radio - not for any coocked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
Ofcourse I realize that. All I was saying was somebody had suggested that I might try the AT&T varriant since that was my operator and it might be an issue with the network causing my problem and I was just stating that I had tried it (along with the other variants) and the issue persist. I realize also it could be quite possible it is related to using a cooked rom but I suspect most of the people who have responded are also using a cooked rom. I have tried most of the popular roms in this forum and this problem persist through all so I don't think it's related (though I confess, I have not had a manufacture's rom since WM6 offical was first released)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] twinpeaks:
I'm having trouble with this ROM on AT&T, and with several of the other ones in the 1.5x series. At 2 bars, I may start dropping calls. Normally I can sustain a call at 2 bars.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] niftydl:
I honestly believe this is also possibly ROM and location dependent. I am on Schaps old 4.0x rom and have not had any trouble with this radio. In fact, this radio is much better in establishing edge -> 3g connection. DC Metro/Maryland area.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tatchan:
No problem with 3 HK at first sight, need some more days to test.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] coolboyboy:

This radio seemed brutal with my Tytn on Rogers.

battery was average, but dropped and missed calls, and even bluetooth (handsfree) issues (not sure what the cause was, but it was there ONLY with this Radio Rom).

After 5 min, everything looks normal as supposed to be
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tatchan:
Also tried GPRS, everything seems ok, including battery life. 3 HK don't provide EDGE service, can't check on that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yclee:

Been running this for a couple of weeks now. Really happy with the performace, managing 1078kb/s download & 162kb/s upload on Telstra Next G. Battery is an issue when I'm in a poor coverage area. In town I'll get 1.5- to 2 days of moderate use. I'm in the countery at the moment (100km outside of Mildure for the Aussies) and battery warning comes up by 7pm from 100% at 8am. So looks like these things really chew up the battery trying to get a good signal.

So give it a whirl, just keep a charger handy. I got one of the Motorola USB changers which will charge my jasjam twice with one charger. Highly recommend. RRP $70AU, got mine on ebay for $25

My last radio version was a 1.41, so I was due for an upgrade.

I was trying to install the AT&T 1.54 radio version for awhile, but kept getting 2.60 Errors. So I gave up and installed this version without any problems. I'm on AT&T in Deltona Florida. So far no issues. It switches between E to 3G to H,,, but all my radios have done that. Calls with a data connection work fine, and the data connection doesnt disconnect during the call. I performed a 1MB speed test on dslreports, and got 681 kbits/sec. I'll use it for awhile and see what happens.
