glad to help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] moto2000:
so ive been using the 1.58.16.27 radio for the past 2 days and i have to say that it is inferior in southern california. i will be flashing to the .07 radio and test that. but i was disappointed by the slow/non-existant gps fix and crappy reception...hopefully ill get better results.

unfortunately though, no WM6.1 radio has come anywhere near as good as the original 1.27 radios for WM6.0 (at least for me in los angeles/san diego)

anybody in southern california have experieces with these niki radios?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] waichai:
Thankz AllTheWay for these radios. I try 1.58.11.07 today, and it's very good. GPS picks up signal so fast than any others radios. Will try other two radios later.

Just to chime in regarding the battery life.

3G was running all day. Used to the phone to receive around 9 call - inbound and outbound, used gps for a total of 30 minutes, screen was on a lot, did some surfing. After all this with the old radio I would have been around 15%, with this radio, its on 64%. After using GPS for 30 minutes straight, I lost 2% of the battery. This is phenominal. On standby for a couple of hours the battery meter was stuck on 74%. I never thought I would ever use the word "stuck" and "battery" in the same sentance, but its true. It wasn't moving. Usually I lost 2-3% every hour on standby.

This is litteraly the best radio I have yet used. Alltheway, do you you have a paypal account?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Try the Polaris Radio's.

They are located in my downloads. Another user in Southern California had wonderful experience w/ the Polaris Radios.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Yes I do have a PayPal account but that will not be necessary. I do not accept any money for this. It only took me some time to download the ROM's and rip the radio from them. No payment is necessary kind sir...I do this for the benefit of the community. If my work helps out at least one person then that is all the payment / reward I need :) But thank you for the kind offer :)

...but if you feel you still need to donate...I will not shy away

PayPal AllTheWay

I am having the same issues as you had with .16.17 and 07. I just switched back to 1.58.26.20. It is by far a superior Radio in Southern California, ie SD and LA. Battery life is better, sound is clearer and I have zero call drops.

My Rom is L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a. BTW. This ROM is also faster than DUTTY's 6.1 and more robust; no hangs or freezes.

If you are in the UK on O2 then 1.58.11.07 is a brilliant rom.

The Battery and Signal are much better than the one I had before (1.6 something)I have not tested GPS, but i rarely use it, I was more concerned with the battery life which was really bad with the old radio rom.

I am using Dutty's 8th March rom btw
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mmoonsamy:
here in south africa, wm6.1 radios took forever to get a gps lock until now....

1.58.16.27 on duttys wm 6.1 uc non cube behaves very similar to 1.27.12.32 on wm 6 htc official rom.....ie....extremely quick gps fix....nice :D

as for sound and call quality - good too. battery also seems a lot better ;)

thanks for this radio alltheway.....now i am back on wm6.1 builds again :p

1.58.16.27 working awesomly good in Portugal with Vodafone.

Good Signal Strenght, Good call volume, fast gps lock and good battery life.

15mins of listening to music, 4 hours of standby and 30 minutes of GPA wasted 11percent of my battery, which compared to previous radio I used (21.23), is a 7-10percent gain.

So far so good, thank you for the radio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] grandpareza:
Seems like it, dont it?

Polaris 1.58.21.23

Niki 1.58.21.23
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Well, I gave it another day to iron out some issues, and yes, the gps is by far much better. The clicking/ticking noises somehow went away after a couple hours of use. And no, I didn't do anything that I know of to make them stop. Battery life seems to have settled down quite a bit. Pretty much the same as I was getting with the .23 polaris radio now. The only issue, whic really isn't an issue at all, is that I have audio interference in my '06 Jeep when using this 16.27 Niki radio. It's actually kinda funny to see my wifes face when I'm talking on the phone and it is messing with the radio in the vehicle. BTW, it's a factory radio so no, it's not a bad ground on an aftermarket install. Just thought I'd post my most recent findings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msharaf:
1.58.16.27

Well, I hv been testing this ROM for more than a day now:

- Resception: is good, nothing special if compared with Polaris and WM6.1 radios

- GPS fix: As every one, the best so far.

- Battery drain: faster than Polaris 1.58.21.23 and 1.64.06.04, slightly better than 1.64.08.21

I have as well a problem happening with Polaris and Niki Roms; sound goes off sometimes when using BT headset and only reboots fixes it.

Cheers

Udk 7.0 Vega WWE R2, 1.58.16.27

Battery life is very similar to 1.64.08.21. GPS lock is excellent, after initial lock. Sound quality is very good. With BT, slight clicking sounds but nothing too bad. No dropped calls yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NetrunnerAT:
The different are some offsets for FM Radio etc ... the Radio Rom, starts the Blue Tooth Hardware. In the Polaris is in the same Chip the FM Radio. This is why they are different. You can use both. Radio Rom is a mini Linux! It handle a big part of the hardware.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gaiden:
good find...

using the 1.64 took me 2 minutes for a gps lock... tried the 1.58.16 got a lock in less then 1 minutes.. same place same exact location....

thnks altheway.... ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kjb86:
After some usage, both of these are no good for me.

They constantly cut out when you're in a call.

Sad because the GPS lock is incredible and its something i've been waiting for for a while...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] axeman:
I am using Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19716 UC RTM on a TYTN 2.

I tried the radio 1.58.16.27

However, whenever i try to connect to GPS it enables my edge connection also. is this normal or some misbehaviour? I have never seen this happen in other 6.0/ 6.1 ROMs.

Also, this rom made my phone very slow. (like brand new i might add). vsbenchmark reported 1399.

I have switched to 1.64.06.04 since this & 1.64.08.21 woeked fine for me previously.

my typical vsbenchmark score with these radios is 1790+

any suggestions anyone? also i think niki has FM support. wont that affect/ misaffect the radio in tytn2 in any way?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
@ ATW

Just ran a couple of battery tests for you to add to your list. The tests were run with the radio cut off/airplane mode and no active tasks running. I cut the phone off since some people use 3G, some use HSPDA, GSM, WIFI or what have you. I figured this way, it was generic and everyone would have the same results instead of reception fluxuations possibly changing the results. Percentage of drain was set to 3%, the default. Backlight was turned off as per the program suggests.

0-100% estimated battery life:

1. Niki 1.58.16.27 = 451 minutes

2. Niki 1.58.11.07 = 383 minutes

3. Niki 1.58.21.23 = 400 minutes

Then for my comparison purposes only I tested my favorite radio:

4. Polaris 1.58.21.23 = 400 minutes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] celtickuja:
ATW, you seem to be the resident Kaiser radio expert, so here's an inquiry for you: When I'm only changing the radio on my device, should I do a hard reset? I know that's a definite for a new rom, but what about radio only?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] scotchua:
I used the 1.58.11.07 radio all day yesterday. In 15 hours of usage (30 texts or so, windows live push email enabled all day, an hour of wifi or so, 45 with the gps on, about 50 minutes of voice, no 3g in my area so can't speak to that) my battery drained 61%, which is pretty comparable to the polaris 1.58.21.23 radio which i have found to be the best for battery life. Where i've found the biggest improvement is in GPS locking. I was able to get 9 satellites outside on a clear day, when i've never been able to get more than 4 with any other radio. I was also able to lock onto 4 satellites from indoors, where i have never gotten more then one before. I have not experienced any of the dropped call problems some have mentioned, and my bluetooth has worked great for me. So if you're ever in southeast Alaska, guess this is the radio i'd recommend as it appears that the performance varies substantially by region.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Hdstreetglide:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Yes that is correct. P1Tater extracted the 1.58.21.23 from the Polaris ROM and through my investigation I found that the NIKI also has a 1.58.21.23

I found the 1.58.21.23 Radio from browsing the NIKI forum. I can't remember exactly where I got it from but it's from a shipped ROM because the only way to extract a radio as I know of is from a shipped ROM, that has the radio with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Now if I could get it to quit ticking in my dadgum ear thru my H12 bluetooth I'd be happy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
P1Tater, what do you mean by running the tests with the phone cut off? You can't mean with the radio turned off, that's why I'm confused.

Also, with no active tasks running, 451 minutes (7.5 hours) seems rather short compared to what I get in NYC (constant HSDPA) with GPS running (test purposes only, 30 minutes), push email and relatively regular internet use (1.5 hours).

Thanks for clarifying.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Yes, 3G disabled and airplane mode via comm manager. You are correct, I get roughly about 2.5 days of use per 100% charge but 451 minutes is with constant usage. The only reason I used airplane mode is due to the fact that different people get different receptions according to location.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
I appreciate your point of people have access to different networks and the effect a network can have on battery drain; but isn't that measure, with the radio off, not really reflective of the particular radio, since the radio is turned off?

I might be missing what your saying, please forgive me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
I understand as well what you are saying, but if the radio was completely turned off nut just reception/airplane mode, would not the results all be the same, better yet, coming up with the identical minutes result?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] c.b:
Have just flashed 1.58.16.27 using Dutty 6.1 ROM 8th March on the UK orange network.

From the comfort of my living room here in the UK I originally (using radio 1.64.08.21) had a signal strength of 2 bars (60% according to MSVC) With 1.58.16.27 I still gain 2 bars and 60% Signal strength according to MSVC.

After only receiving one call so far all seems OK as far as sound quality goes.

I was trying to test GPS with TomTom at the same time when the call came in which appeared to cause a few problems though which I am just putting down to system resources not being good enough with TomTom trying to get a lock.

I could not get a GPS lock inside the house so will venture outside in a while and report on my fix time. Just for the record it used to take around 1 - 2 mins to get a fix using TomTom on the 1.64.08.21 radio.

Battery life on the 1.64.08.21 radio was also impressive, I will comment further when I have had chance to use 1.58.16.27 more.

Update: No issues with bluetooth clicking using PLantronics Voyager 510 headset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bacco:
Valid point. Either way, I'm glad the radio I'm using came in first.

1.58.16.27

WOAH! Using 16.27 I can actually get service at my work, which no other radio has ever gotten me past 6 minutes of being there! Instead of no service I enjoy 2-3 bars!!

Other observations:

My 3G connection seems a little weaker at my school. I used to get 4 bars now sometimes 3. However this doesn't effect me.

Also, my batter drains a little faster. Instead of being at 75% after 4 hours I sit at around upper 60's... (with texting and no phone or internet)

My predious radio was the polaris 21.23

Overall, i can say that I'll be keeping the radio for a long time!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
Has anyone had a call come in while you're on the other line? I'm using the polaris radio 1.58.21.23 on Dutty's most recent Rom. I live in Phoenix AZ.

When a call comes in on call waiting, it constantly beeps, with no pause. Very annoying! This never happened on the Stock ATT Rom/Radio. I will switch to 16.27 and see how that goes. I'm surprised no one's brought it up yet, though.

*****update****

16.27 does it as well. its beep beep beep beep for the duration of the incoming call. Thats a radio thing, right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
No...that's the normal call waiting sound.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
In the last 25 years of my life, and living in Egypt and Germany for a couple of years as well, i've never ever heard this call waiting sound. Trust me, its not the normal call waiting sound. I'll put up a sound clip next time it happens.

Put it this way, the beeps are so continuous you can't hear the person speaking on the other line. There are no pauses between the beeps. it manages to squeeze like 45 beeps in 15 seconds.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
yes exactly what I hear on Dutty's ROM. Just change the sound in registry to fix this.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER / ControlPanel / Sounds / CallWaiting
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
Thanks a lot. *scratches head* of all the call waiting sounds, how the heck did that one make the cut?

So did anyone figure out why these radios invokes data when the GPS is activated? When I fire up any GPS util, the phone tries to establish a data connection.... this has never happened until I went to WM 6.1. So it could be dutty's rom or the radio.

As for the three new radios, I have used them all in the last 24 hours and unfortunately haven't noticed any GPS improvement over the ATT radio. The phone signal strength is definitely stronger than the ATT radio about equally in all three. Phoenix AZ.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] satiros:
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT!!!

just to add 1 hour phone call in a good signal area (5/5) 60% to 40% battery level giving in theory 5 hours talk time the screen was off

ps i dont know how linear is the battery level running???

i believe 100% to 0% is the only way to esimate battery drainage

using duttys 6.1 716 build not rtm

the best gps radio so far with wm6 .17 radio

best wm61 for gps Niki 1.58.16.27

11.07 seems to be getting the best GPS lock I've seen. I can see more satellites getting picked up right when you start up GPS. Doesn't matter about battery drain for me because I have chargers everywhere. reception are all the same, so I'm sticking with the 11.07
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] alaiwy:
I agree with this but i can contribute it to the fact that i'm getting 3G in more places. It's difficult for me to test my radio's reception because i get full 3g bars EVERYWHERE except when i'm at work. And when i'm in my office i rarely get 3G whatsoever. With the .27 radio and the march 04 dutty's i'm getting 0-2 bars of 3G which is pretty much a first. That being the case 3G drains batteries at a much higher level than EDGE so it would make sense for me to get worse battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RiNo808:
2 days on .27 and i must say its awesome so far in Hawaii...13 hours of multiple call, surfing the net on 3G, bt on and only 53% batt drain..on where my phone would be dead...H12 bt sound quality is the best i heard so far...really loud the way i like it...not like the trouble i had with the oem 6.0 att rom & radio...gps lock is heall quick using google maps...the only thing with google maps is when ever i initiate GPS it tries to connect to the net using isp...and it always give me a fail to connect...then i have to quit the connection and reconnect using media net...is there a fix to stop the gps from connecting to the net using isp???

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
Thank you very much, assisted GPS was enabled. I guess my problem with it wasn't that it was trying to connect but that it was connecting unsuccesfully every time.. and I'd have to click on that "dismiss" pop up bubble each time. It will say "connecting to my ISP gprs" even if I'm already connected to MEdia net. Why is that? I went into to connections / advanced and chose MEdia net.

*****update*****

I just edited My ISP GPRS settings to match MEdia Net settings, so even though the GPS software incorrectly invokes My ISP GPRS, it won't fail since its essentially MEdia Net cloned with a different name. This fixed the error bubble from always popping up when I do GPS. Assisted GPS should be taken account for in everyone's saying that they are locking much quicker with these radios.... I have to wonder how many people upgraded to a rom like DUTTY's recently which comes with assisted GPS enabled by default.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JimmyMcGee:

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.
