All My reviews in one!

1.58.16.27:

Well, after a couple days of use, the 1.58.16.27 radio, isn't that good in Vegas. GPS tool is showing red and only like 1 or 2 satellites showing up. So I think its most likely gonna be the same in California, I am not sure about Arizona, Utah, or New Mexico. Also the signal fluctuates too much sometimes, goes from 2 bars to 4 bars a lot. .Gonna try another one.

Summary: 1.58.16.27, *fair* in most of Nevada, not good with GPS, or signal.

1.58.11.07:

1.58.11.07 has less battery life, after a full day of stand by and then some use here and there and then a 2 hour call I am almost dead. ( Keep in mind I got out of school that day at 12:58) Thats the stand by part. This was around 5 when it started dieing. So 1.58.11.07 is stable, I can see more satellites but not lock takes a very long time , signal went from very fluctuate to only to no less than 3 bars.

Verdict: Less battery life, more GPS. Signal is less fluctative than the first one.

1.58.21.23:

Ok here is what I have seen, 21.23 is the most stable of all three. It gets GPS way faster than any of the radios for Las Vegas and has a really rock solid signal. Battery life is also really stable. After like a 3 hour data use it still has battery and some phone calls also, stand by time should last you about 1 day plus use.

Verdict: Signal gets a lesser signal, but its more stable and non fluctuative, and GPS actually grabs satellites in MY area.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rdecker692000:
Really interesting. I live in Las Vegas and you can flip the results between 11.07 and 21.23 for me as far as battery life and signal levels go. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ~~Tito~~:
I don't know either. Its probably because we are in different areas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] QBANIN:
I agree. 1.58.21.23 has the best GPS reception in Poland (Central Europe) for me. Also GSM signal seems to be more stable. I can't say anything about battery life for now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
I am going back to 1.64.06.04, becasue it give me the best volumn and clarity on call quality. Remember, waht is the most improtant factor to you? The longer the hours or quality on reception?

I dont really care about GPS, I need my phone to be loud and clear with good reception.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shadowlabs9:
Hi,

Actually in my situation, my device really works like a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and not just like a phone. So, not only the call quality but also the signal strength and volume are important aspects (to be honest, all the radios I’ve tested gave me the perception of good sound quality and volume, maybe because I have a traumatic audition problem since I was a child… so maybe I’m just not able to make the distinction the right way)... But, at least in my situation, battery life and GPS are also very important, in day-to-day utilization, that’s why I spent so much time testing it… I’m sorry for not being so helpful to you…

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Scann69:
Is there a way to make the battery hold the charge longer? I read somewhere that if we drain the battery down to 0% then fully charge it again, it would help....i did that but it's not helping. I'm losing 1% everytime i get 1 sms. Talking on the phone for 5 minutes can take up a good 2 to 3% :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
I dont know why, but 1.64.06.04 gives me the best result over BT earpiece. I am not saying others were bad. That is my test result. I do not represent a perfect sample, but that is my experience with these radios.

The reception was not bad for NiKi radios, but somehow I am not getting the volumn over BT. I need the higher volumn mainly I am on phone all the time with a noisely background.

I have flash at lease twice on all NiKi radios, because I like to find a good radio to enhance the battery time, but I did not find what I was looking for. Many people like Dutty's ROM, but it give me problem which I have no time to manage.

Believe me, I have read lots posts here whenever I am free, but sometime finding solution wasn't easy. I not a good tester of new ROM; instead I found I spent lots time just to correct the device to work right. I need a phone device I can depend on, not as a toy to play with.

I admire those who help out, they probably take as a habbit.

Thanks for all the informations on Niki radios.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Check out my post. I believe we might get more standard results if we set the phone to airplane mode. It doesn't cut the radio off completely, however it does make it a more standard result w/o changes due to signal strength/reception or bands. Let me know what you think. It would be nice if we all made the tests the same way or at least came to the same decision as to which way to perform the test. I believe my percentage, the default, might not be as accurate as yours at 25%.

Heres my post. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2017300&postcount=134

Thanks!

Hi P1,

(Sorry for the delay)

Sounds good to me, next time I have some free time I'll begin testing in Flight mode...

It's also in my plans do some battery life tests with different roms after flash, with the same radio, just to check how different builds perform...

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Sounds like a good idea.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
The worst thing you can do to a lithium ion battery is fully discharge it. Some say doing a ful discharge once every few months is okay, but do not try to condition a lithium ion like you would older batteries. Frequent complete discharges are NOT good. These batteries do NOT have any memory issues & the once in awhile discharge is more about meter calibration than anything else.

Uhh, you mean 1.58.21.23, right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] celtickuja:
I'm in NY, Long Island area, and get phenomenally fast GPS and solid reception with NIKI 1.58.11.07. Example, today it's quite dreary and overcast, standing under the overhang in front of my store, I got a lock in 32 seconds. I'm not thrilled with battery life on this radio, but then again I've never been sure about my battery as I bought a refurbished device :-\

I keep reading a lot of good about the 16.27 and 3g, so I may give it a try soon. I live near the border of 3g and non-3g for AT&T, so it'll be fun to see if I can extend my 3g range out towards me a little bit. :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jonbr007:
Niki 1.58.21.23

I'm getting good results GPS and data 3G & edge with the NIKI radio. I do get from time to time voice connect and disconnect (wont let go - wont take the call) issues. Dint know if its a BT issue or not. Still experimenting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
I also noticed really good results with that radio in the Sacramento, CA area. However I think the 1.58.16.27 gets a little bit better battery life then that radio. Also depends on what ROM you are using. The ROM's using the 5.2.19199 builds will have the best battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jonbr007:
cool

Im going to try the 1.58.16.27 now then. im using the 16 ROM and its working so well I may wait until the next version of 19 that I think is coming soon????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
5.2.19716 build?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jonbr007:
yes

non-cube version - Not a cube fan:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sibeer:
Arrgh, what now

just for completeness I will go through my full process:

1. Installed HardSPL

2. Installed Dutty's WM6.1 Official UC 5.2.19199 RTM

3. Discovered that there wa no sound so set about finding a solution

4. Downloaded NIKI_Radio_Only_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU

5. Installed HardSPL again as would not connect

6. Installed NIKI_Radio_Only_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU

Problem is that it reached 100% on the install then decided it had lost the connection. The NIKI radio installer only had an exit option and cannot reconnect. The phone is on 100% and won't go any further.

I am very worried about what to do next as clearly I could be in a bad flash situation. Any advice on what to do and what I may have done wrong would be very appreciated ASAP.

Radio 1.58.16.27

Here in Utah using Rom in my Sig Dutty's of course. The 1.58.16.27 radio is no very good at all lower signal, GPS not picking up for at least 5 minutes if it does it at all. However the original Polar 1.58.21.23 I get fantastic signal, great battery life, and quick GPS as previously reported by others. So if in the SLC/Utah area Stuff in my Sig is the way to go.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Thanks for the heads up. Curious though. Have you tried the NIKI 1.58.21.23?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] futbolkeeper:
I haven't tried that one yet, I'll give it a shot now. I'm doing the flashing by my SD now, man flashing by SD and UC I'm literally in Heaven now. Flashing junkie recommended. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Shhhhh...

Don't give out all the trade secrets. Eh who am I kidding apparently from the many redundant post nobody reads anyways :)

Flashing from SD card

Guys, a question if you don't mind. I've never attempted flashing from an SD card but with the use of different radios that may not work as well in different areas I'd like the ability to do so. So...based on the directions in the flashing thread, should I use a newly formated card with nothing on it other than the radio file? Or can I use my current SD card with the radio file in the root directory?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
You can use your current card. I do. Mine is loaded w/ stuff, not just the radios.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
Thanks P1Tater...I just tried it and got a no file image found message flash across the screen. Have to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
make sure u are renaming it to kaisimg.nbh

then press the camera button, power button and inserting stylus in reset hole.

the rest is left up to the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
do i need to reinstall hard spl each time i want to flash a rom or radio?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
k thank you i feel safer now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] eskostar:
no, it stays installed until you decide to go back to original SPL
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] celtickuja:
Okay, so the Niki 16.27 was terrible for me. Had no data for a little while, then wouldn't get past GPRS where I've never seen anything but EDGE.

Then I went to the Niki 21.23. Definitely at least a bar of reception better, but the same GPS test that took 32 seconds with 11.07 took 92 seconds with 21.23. Battery seems to be holding up a little better than with 11.07 also. I'm gonna attack the Polaris radios next for comparison.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
Ok I searched this but was unsuccessful at finding an answer. When I flash a new radio how do I remove the previous one. I can't find it anywhere in my phone.

niki 16.27 has worked the best for me in the Boston Area. Acquired a gps single were i don't normally get cell service. Amazing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
Thanks P1Tater...but I think I'm in the dreaded FAT32 card bit. I'm using a SanDisk 2 gig card, so it's not the Kingston issue. Must be the FAT32 issue.

I'll reformat when I get home and see how it goes.

Thanks Dude!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
When you flash anything new, it over-writes the old. End of story.

If you want to revert to the old, you must flash that one over the new.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Alamei:
To throw in my regional experience (Boulder, CO): I've found very little difference between these radios in terms of data/voice reception, but the GPS on 16.27 is absurdly fast compared to any other radios I have tested. (I'm using Dutty's 6.1, in case anyone's interested.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] 65coupei6:
On the Tilt all you have to do is hold the camera button down and use the stylus to reset the device. Bootloader will start. (No need for any other keys pressed) Also, make sure it is KAISIMG.nbh (KAISIMG in caps .nbh in lower case)

Of course the KAISIMG.nbh has to be in the Root of your Storage Card NOT in a folder on your Storage card.

OK. Back on topic :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jrd:
I am in Atlanta, GA, USA and Niki 16.27 just does not work very well. The GPS takes a long time to lock and the PocketIE keeps freezing when accessing data.

I will try Niki 21.23 next.

Dutty WM 6.1 latest ROM
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pmgnet:
EDIT: JRD! I just tried GPSGate again based on some comments in another thread here, and my GPS started working! I have NO clue what that's about, but finally...

GpsGatePPC.ARM-2.60.301.CAB

I'm running NIKI_Radio_Only_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU at the moment, but since GPSGate did the trick, I might try some other radios.

Now to get my Modem working again!

JRD, I'm in Atlanta too, with Tilt, and I can't find any radio for Dutty 6.1 that gets me GPS or gets dialtone when tethering the Tilt.

I'm trying the Dutty 6.1 because the AT&T 1.62 release was killing my battery.

Please let me know if you find one that works, and I'll of course do the same.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] futbolkeeper:
I tried the 21.23 Niki radio as well and I had the same results as the 16.27 Niki radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
OK thanks for letting everybody know :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jackyduy:
To me here in Canada, the .27 radio gives me the best signal ever. In my school there is a place no signal can be reach by any other radio but this .27. GPS, sometimes it's unbelievably fast, sometimes it terribly slow, I have no idea. When it is in good mood, only <1min -> 7 sats, when in bad mood, >infinity mins, nothing happens.

About battery life, it drain a little bit fast but to my it is reasonable, not so bad.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jrd:
My problem is not that GPS won't lock - it does lock, it just takes a long time most of the times (even with QuickGPS). The bigger problem is that PocketIE freezes (and I have to soft reset) with this radio. If I find something better, I will let you know.

radio have the information about phone service?

Hi,

I leave in brazil , sao paulo. I already make my TynTyn II configuration, but everytime when the signal lost and return, i have a notification .

This notification is about one globe near the battery meter and means:

" the operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your operator for the connection settings and then,

Connection Setup will redirect you to the connection screnn"

How i can fixed it?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jackyduy:
I think it is because your rom do not compatible with the service provider u are dealing with not the radio. But it doesnt matter cause u still get signal from your place, that means, perharp u wont get mms works or something 'bout some services from the phone wont work. U can look up somewhere in this forum and find the right .cab and install it to your phone. It is not a big deal, try to read and find. Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
Thats the auto connectio setup. Its program that is seting your phone so u can use internet, mms, ...If u want to not pop up(show), go to setings/connections/connection setup/menu and uncheck the option to enable auto configuration. That should do the trick.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fcombola:
it works

It works, Fantastic, thanks for your help.

Everyday i had a 10 notifications......and the phone does not work properly,

Radio Comparisons (Flawed)

First post--been a lurker for a while, but then when I wasn't happy with the radio that came in Dutty's most recent release, I started testing out different radios to see what would give me the best results.

First off,

A BIG THANKS to all who have contributed these amazing roms and radios!

I tested various radios under the following:

ROM: Dutty's 4/16/08 release: WM6.1 5.2.19209

Location: San Jose, CA

Over the past few days:

I've tested all the Polaris and Niki Radios, as well as the Vodafone radio. None are giving me "amazing" results. I'm on Edge quite often, battery life drains really quickly, GPS lock takes 5-6 minutes on average. Just about all the other aspects are the same between each radio. I'm comparing these radios using Dutty's WM6.1 release on 4/16/08 to Alex's v5.2 6.0 release on 3/02/08, and the radio that flashed with Alex's rom, 1.27.14.09, gave me superb results. Any ideas? Or should I just stick with what works best and wait for a new radio?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] KDKobes:
I would suggest radio's

1.58.21.23(probably best reception of the 3, good battery life, I think GPS is a little slower though)

1.58.26.20(quick GPS, good reception, battery life isn't great)

1.64.08.21(fastest for GPS, but I think requires constant data connection for good reception, on AT&T, best battery life)

Have you tried using GPStest, those 5-6 min GPS locks are ridiculous. On any of these radio's if they are set at the right baud rate takes 20 seconds max for me.

**Just from my experience with them, could vary depending on location, carrier, etc.**
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mjg1:
Interested to know your views on the right BAUD rate - have used 4800 and 9600. Many seem to recommend 9600, but 4800 seems more reliable for me.

thoughts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] scotchua:
I always use 4800 because i usually cannot get a signal with 9600. Just personal experience though. I have flashed virtually every radio available (until i got stuck on this last one that is) and it's been my experience with them all that i get the quickest locks @ 4800
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] KDKobes:
Really varies depending on the radio and I think your location also. For instance I could get a lock in a few seconds with 1.64.08.21 at 19200 baud. Radio 1.58.26.20 has been working best at 38400 baud. Been a while since I used 1.58.21.23, but I think it was 9600 baud. I don't ever get good results under 9600 baud, but thats not to say someone else wouldn't. One thing I have noticed though is when I do change the baud rate it is best to restart the phone afterwards.
