bellor,

I have been using 1.70.19.09. So far it is working just fine, but I must use the Bandswitch program with it. Thanks for explaining the reception quality. If I need the HSDPA, I just turn it back on with Bandswitch. The EDGE data is plenty fast for checking email etc plus I am now getting excellent phone reception (compared to before) and that is what I was looking for.

Thanks again!

Latest doesn't mean best as far as HTC and the TyTN II are concerned

With much in the software industry the latest can often be considered the best, I only wish this was the case for HTC releases for the TyTN II :( If you want proof, three letters come to mind GPS. Been there, tried the newer versions and reverted to fix it again :eek: Reception and GPS functionality are the best they've ever been.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bellor:
Ok. so I am not going to argue,but youguys telling me I don't know my stuff are really out of it. There are a few things you just don't seem to get:

- First is the fact that Trugeek is using WM 6.1 not 6.0 like you so he can't use your radios or he will have an unusable phone.

- Second is the fact that while my way of putting it was unfortunate in terms of ubergeekness, it still is true that I fixed his problem.He flashed accordi gto my advice and has no more problems.

This all plus the fact that all I did was impart some of my own experience since I really cannot know anything about what other peoples experience is with their phones... I don't live in the same place!

For me... after going through a few radios in the 1.65 range (since I use WM6.1) I realized that even though these were good for batery life and acceptable for wifi,BT or GPS, the call reception was dismal. So I tried 1.70.19.09 because I saw online that the eMO radio was power hungry while not having better reception. That is why I advised trugeek like I did.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Flying Kiwi:
My response was addressing the quoted part

That's only if the ROM remains a WM 6.1 version, there's no reason why a matching WM 6.0 ROM can't be chosen is there?

My point is precisely what I posted originally - that unlike most software, 'updates' from HTC (at least as far as my experience with the TyTN II is concerned) often introduce more problems than they resolve. I'd hate anyone to get the wrong impression from your post and go and install the HTC Official WWE WM 6.1 ROM on their TyTN II without fully understanding the repercussions first:eek:

Then you needed to chose your words more carefully and avoid blanket statements like the one I quoted from you. Implying that the latest is the greatest is at best highly contentious when it comes to HTC TyTN II releases. The fact that many people here with lots of posts/experience of the device are still using WM 6.0 ROMs should tell you something.

Well I've tried that radio (here in the UK admittedly) with a matching WWE ROM and not only did the GPS performance fall apart (compared to my current setup which gives much quicker and more reliable satellite locks) but the reception wasn't as good either.

Anyone in Southern California that can recommend a good radio for the Kaiser?

I have an HTC TyTN II flashed with Shifu V8, Radio 1.65.24.36 and HardPSL 3.29.

I was just wondering if it would be beneficial to switch to 1.70.19.09 or 1.71.09.01 (or something else)? I've heard conflicting reports about these 2 being better than the other.

Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bushu16:
It depends on your location. You have to test it for yourself
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sir topas:
Sorry if I sound a bit blunt, but I know this. However, I listed my location and asked anyway in the hopes that I'm not the only one from Southern California that has flashed a radio, and that others have done the testing already. In the world of research, the researchers look at previous studies before conducting a similar study in order to make certain that they are not unnecessarily repeating a study that has already been done.

There is no point in me using a trial and error approach of flashing radios if this has already been done and the best radio for my location has been determined.

Thus, I ask again, anyone from Southern California have the results? I'd be willing to compile a list of good radios for different locations if people wouldn't mind posting their results. That way we can share our knowledge with others instead of keeping it to ourselves. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
Don't know how much it helps, as I don't run Shifu V8 (check out TPC Elite, if you're interested).

But, right now I'm running a stock 1.65 (whatever it is that comes with the official HTC ROM). I don't have any issues with it in Southern California (Orange County), so I never changed over to 1.70.19.09. I did run that one before, and it was fine too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sir topas:
Thanks for the report! :)

So the stock ROM has good reception, battery life, etc? Same experience with 1.70.19.09 when you ran it before? What ROM did you use with it?

TPC Elite looks good, but I'm not ready to make the switch to 6.5 yet b/c of my TomTom version (not compatible with 6.5, at least that's what I read).

EDIT:

So I flashed 1.70.19.09 and it took a long time for GPS to get a fix Also, the fix is very inaccurate. I tried flashing other radios and there was a Polaris radio that seemed to get a quicker fix. However, upon trying again from a cold start, it didn't get a fix at all after 5 min. I just don't understand why I got good results with the Polaris radio the first time, but then nothing the second....

EDIT:

I just flashed the 1.71.xxxxx eMo Radio and I couldn't even get GPS to lock on at all! I don't understand the reports from others in CA saying it only took 10 seconds from a cold start. Does Hard SPL version have something to do with it? I'm running 3.29 cmonex.

I have 1.71.09.01 Radio and Kaiser gets out of battery after a day and a half... is it normal? (some SMS, half of a hour on WIFI, 3 photos, 20min call).

Maybe we should start a So Cal thread. I'm in Santa Clarita, work on Wilshire in LA right next to Beverly Hills, and often head out to the IE and OC. I too would love to get others feedback. My main issue is that I flash so much I forget what was what, and only recently have I been paying close attention to what radio does what.

The 1.70.19.09 was horrible for me in terms of dropped calls. I take the 5 to 170 to 101 to Highland to get to work, and that radio would drop like 10 times on that route. The Emo radio only drops 3 times (up over the hills, where its kinda expected).

As for GPS response, I've never seen 10 seconds from a cold start.. .only way I get 10 seconds to lock is if it was just locked on within like 5 minutes. After that 5 minutes it takes about 30-60 seconds with a clear view of the sky, and more if I'm downtown with all the high rises.

I was using other radios, but by and large, the Emo one seems the best for me. Some of those other 1.65 radios had dropped calls like the 1.70.19.09 did.

As for using it for 6.5, I wouldn't, but it does work with the 6.5 23004 build...i'd go with 1.70.18.02.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mb:

Fuze radio on Kaiser help

Ok, I have searched for 5 hours and cannot find this anywhere, so hopefully someone can help, PLEASE.

I think I know the responce, but thought I would ask. I have a tilt and flashed the 1.12.25.19 radio from the FUZE; it has a killer GPS lockon. Well it flashed great, but after reset, I get nothing. No charging light (with or without battery in), power button competly inop and soft reset not responding. I think I bricked the phone, any ideas? I have tried all manner of pressing different keys and nothing worked. I think if I can at least turn the phone non some how I can flash the OEM rom.

At worse, hope this keeps anyone else form doing this.

I do have hard spl installed; I think the no responce has to do with the hardware being different. I have tried evey way I can to get any responce, none. I can't even get into boot loader. When I plug it in to the wall charger, the charger's status light turns red, showing it is charging; but the light on the phone does not work. I thought I would have at least been able to enter boot loader screen :(

kaiser dead after flash (end result)

:( Well after days of searching, talking to AT&T (useless, as anyone can guess). They just kept saying; since you hacked your device, we cannot help you. My contract with at&t ends in April, guess I'm going elsewhere. So I called HTC 3 times, the last time got a very helpful tech. We tried 2-3 dozen different things, including dismantling the phone and playing with the mother board. Since my phone is out of warranty and was dead, I was willing to try anything. Well, nothing, nada, zeros; I now have a nice looking paperweight. Looks like because the FUZE has buttons in different locations and the radio controls the communication to those locations, the "missing" buttons are the only way to turn on the phone; if I could have gotten it to turn on, I could have fixed it. Expensive mistake and hope will help anyone else even thinking of trying this very stupid move; finds this post and does not even try it this. Hopefully if it saves one person I guess it is worth the lesson. DO NOT TRY AND FLASH A RADIO OR ROM from another device; you will 100% brick your phone (duh I know).

So it looks like all I need is a new mother board; I'm getting a tilt with a broken screen off e-bay for $50; since everything else works, just gotta transplant my screen and I will be up and going again.

Battery life

I am using Kaiser with Shifu's V09 and I tried many different Radio ROMs but until know I can not find a good for battery life, because some radio is very good for battery life but has a lot of problems with Wifi/GPS signal strength or not good sound during phone call. Others roms are very bad for battery life but excellent for GPS and wifi.

So, I would ask you some suggestion to have a good choice according to your experiences.

Hi,

I've unlocked my Kaiser ready to flash a cooked ROM and radio, but wondered if anyone could advise me on the best ROM and radio combination to give me the best GPS experience.

Currently in my car after a few days use the tracking starts to drift. If I park up and wait a while the fix start to move all over the place, it had me doing 300 MPH heading for the north pole earlier!

Any advice would be appreciated!

OK, I thought that might be the answer, I had been in the ultimate radio thread but got scared off, in the past I flashed a complete build of ROM AND radio so never got into which radios may not be compatible with different ROM builds.

Assuming I follow the instructions for flashing I should be safe from 'bricking' shouldn't I? that is, an incompatible radio won't stop me getting back into bootloader should I screw it up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Now merged into the ultimate radio thread.

All the radios in the first pages of this thread are safe, and so long as you don't revert Hard SPL, there's almost no chance of bricking it :)

And, if the radio is incompatable, like you said - just put the phone in bootloader and flash another.

What setup do you have on it at the moment? I use GPS in the UK alot and the setup in my signature is the best I've found as far as official HTC setups go. It's also what HTC's service centre loaded onto it (under warrnty) after I complained their Windows Mobile 6.1 'update' had resulted in poor GPS performance. As far as custom ROMs go, as already mentioned, you'll need to adopt a try and see approach.

Hi,

I need to use Android for some reasons (Android works only with Radio 1.65.xx.xx and 1.71.xx.xx).

I do have a Polaris with WM6.1 and currently Radio 1.65.30.09, but this ROM has a poor reception with o2 in Germany. (Murata is quite better but doesn't work with Android)

Therefore I want to try the 1.71.09.01 Radio (originally for Kaiser). This won't basically work because of the device code etc.

My questions are:

1. How to get this Radio on my Polaris?

2. Is it anyway a good idea to try to flash a Kaiser Radio on a Polaris?

I flashed a bad radio and bricked my phone. I was never able to turn it on after the flash. Make sure when you flash a radio, that it is a radio intended for only the kaiser. And even if it is, there is always a chance you can brick your phone, even if you can get into the boot loader screen, you still may have bricked your phone. So be very careful and understand this is very risky!

Corrupted remnants of an already downloaded file may have been cached/in temporary files. When these sorts of things start occurring, often a clean of all temporary internet and browser cache files/cookies sorts things out. If the PC is being problematic in other ways as well, it's often easier and quicker to just do a restore/reinstall in my experience (especially if its a long time since the system last received this).

What radios do other T-Mobile USA users have? My battery drains within a day from just talking on the phone once in a while for a few minutes. I just got the phone 3 weeks ago, and don't know if this is normal for the Kaiser. Used kaiser could mean the battery is really weak, and may need to be replaced.

I'm using 1.70.18.02 right now, and about to try the 1.71.09.01 radio. I know it's taboo to ask, but there's a lot of radios to choose from the kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] srancsik:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dukenukemx:
I've been going crazy about the battery life of my phone, and I think I got it just the way I like it.

For me, the radio rom made little difference. I'm using T-Mobile USA, a provider many Kaiser owners don't have. I'm currently using 1.71.09.01.

The major change in battery life came from switching roms. I had TPCElite series V11, and it sucked on battery life. I keep going back to AthineOS, cause it's very clean and works well.

Oddly, HardSPL also effected battery life. For me 3.34 was terrible, but 3.56 was better. The best was 3.29.

I used PowerGaurd to measure the amount of power consumed when using the phone. The phones brightness was set to half.

Idle = -4 mA

screen on = -78 mA

Voice Mail with screen on = -300 mA

Voice Mail with screen off = -200 mA

I went through an entire day with average use of phone calls, some web browsing, and listened to music for 40 minutes with still over 60% battery power left. I've even turned on and turned off GPS, to make sure there wasn't any problems with that.

Regardless, I went ahead and ordered a 1600mAh from Amazon. Anything to push the extra battery life. Not as good as my old Wizard, which is using CR96 Touch HD, and a thick 2400mAh battery, and can last for 3-4 days of normal use.

If I can get it to last 2 days without needing to charge it, I'll be happy. Sucks that these aftermarket batteries need me to pull it out, just to get the correct battery life.
