Hi, you can see the right frequencies there becuase the software supports them, however the radio hardware in the phone does not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bzhpedro:
Thank you for this answer.

I'll wait a little bit to be sure if I sell my Diamond or not. Or if I keep it when I travel in Europe.

I think what he did is:

Cooked a rom with a new icon. he replaced the edge icon with the 3g icon. Maybe he did not cook a new rom if there is another way of changing icons.

Sorry bad Post!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
is that not old or am i trippin'? .07 is new :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
lol.. then someone else will say the .18 is the newest! :P

Anyways, I've been using .05 for a long time now, and upgraded to .07.

I've used GPS twice so far, and yea, there is a noticeable improvement. Not only you get fast fixes, it has somehow become more sensitive. It tracks me walking as well (3-6kph)! Previously, it will just get stuck at a location.

As for other signals, No difference. Batt life not tested.

Cheers.

Mirrors anyone?

Hey Tom

Is there any chance you could upload the latest Radio Rom .07 to you Site?

I just can't use Rapidshare...

Or if any other kind soul could upload to other mirrors perhaps...

After reading the feedbacks, seems like .07 has that slight edge better than .05 due to its fast GPS Fix. Have to try it.

Thanks in advance...

radio .07 rocks!

hi guys, just my opinion but i'm having good sensations using this new radio.

Flashed it this morning and i've already noticed a better 2g/3g behaviour (with 05 calls often got dropped during handover... now they don't). Also gps fix seems better, since just after flashed it i could fix in my bedroom (never happened with 05).

Too early for battery results, but again i'm having good sensation till now.

Thanks Dutty and Tom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PJ6363:
OK, something to contribute now...

Been working with the new radio .07 now for 24hrs and can say the following:

Using SwiftB v5.0 lite (1.93.405.1 WWE), upgraded from Radio .05 to Radio .07

Using in UK, Scotland, Aberdeen on O2

Battery life: same-same, perhaps a tad better

GPS:

significantly faster satellite pickup

and better hold :) :)

GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA: same as before (no 3G in sunny Aberdeen)

General: So far great improvement on 0.05 for GPS, all else equal

.....I would personally recommend updating and trying same if in UK (Scotland) :D

.....Anyone tried same from mainland Europe (Netherlands, France), East Coast of USA, and Australia with a worthy contribution??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xtr3m3:

to make all good threads stiky isn't a good solution... so in time we have the first page only stickys... not very readable...

i think the best solution is still to add all infos on the wiki... everyone can edit it ... so that should not be the problem...

the only problem is that the diamond wiki isn't filled up yet good... but everyone could do that...

i have done it on the HTC Breeze... i used the hermes wiki as base and edited all things by hand in freetime...

when everyone put the infos there together everyone can find it easly... without reading unneccessary pages with requests to made something sticky or uselesscrap about this or that...

Just flashed the 1.00.25.05 radio...how do i tell if im on that band??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 205_lacoste:
If you go to your phone, press menu > options > Band > there you can set it.

Maybe it is an idea to add the exact procedure to this OP. As it was my first time only updating a Radio, I was a bit unsure as the RUU asked me if I wanted to update the 1.37.xxx.xxx ROM to 1.00.25.05. This seems odd, but is nothing to worry about :)

Steps that could be copied in the opening post:

- Download and extract the RUU (Rom Updater Utility) in a empty folder on your pc

- Download and extrat the radio file (.nbh) in the same directory as the RUU

- Start the RUU and follow procedure

Note: The program shows your current ROM version (e.g. 1.37.405.03) and asks if you would like to update it to version 1.00.25.05. This last version number is only of the Radio and does not mean that your 1.37 ROM wil be deleted. The radio update proces can thus be done without a hard reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robincop deel 2:
Just flashed the 1.00.25.05 radio.

I have hard spl 1.40. Flashing worked like a charm.

Now HSDPA seems to be slightly quicker, but that could be wishfull thinking also.

I come from the 1.00.25.03 radio version which was flashed with my standard 1.37. . 3 WWE ROM. I am especially hoping for better battery life.

Why is 1.00.25.05 radio better then 1.00.25.06 radio? One would expect the latest version to be the best.

Cheers!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dalamario:
You have to be in a place where YOU know that signal is only 850MHz from the carrier, like some places in US or like where I'm (RJ, Brazil).

I left the band in AUTO and now with the new radio I'm able to see ALL the carriers availables, when before flashing I was able to see only the 900MHz carriers (where I'm are not available signals at 1800, 1900MHz and no UMTS).

So, I think only US guys with an asian/european Diamond can confirm if 1.0025.05 radio is really working on 850MHz band (but I'm pretty sure because VIVO Brazil only transmit at this frequency).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daren1:
I am in Toronto (Rogers - 850/1900 mhz) and just upgraded to the 1.00.25.05 Radio. In my house, I now get 4 full bars of EDGE ('E' in the taskbar), whereas with the previous radio, I would only get GPRS ('G' in the taskbar). I cannot tell if there is an improvement in data speed though.

Is there any way to determine which frequency the phone is using (850 vs 1900)

I´ve just tried all three on Orange here in Madrid and the best download speeds have been with the 1.00.25.06. The 05 didn´t seem to work as well as the original 1.00.25.03 but I will have to see how the battery life goes tomorrow.

I'm going to change back to .11 as the gps performance is pretty much the same as .07 (i.e. good) but I think .11 gives better battery life.

HTC registered on 3G Network in Brazil

Hi dude !

I'm located on Notheast Brazil (Ceara) and my Diamond can find 2.1Ghz 3G network on network search but can not register on them. I've tried same SIM on other 3G mobile and it works fine. Have you heard something similar ?

Valeu...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Alfatag:
Hi andreolim!

Wich operator are you using? As far I know, there are hardware incompatibilities about 3G on some frequencies, but I dont know what ones... Im using Claro, wihtout 3G, only EDGE. Seems that the Diamonds that will come to Brazil will have different hardware, so 3G will work as it should.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrerolim:
I try to register my DIAM100 on Vivo and Oi (Both 3G networks). For 2G/EDGE everything goes fine ! Also when I try to change the band and network on phone options tab the mobile becomes very unstable and sometimes (most of them) needs software reset. Have you tested Radio v1.00.25.07 ? I was wondering to try diff radio versions to make 3G registration for video call... do you have some clue for me ?

Thanks Alfatag !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Alfatag:
Actually Im usig Dutty 1.6 ROM and .07 Radio. My Diamond is a DIAM100 also, Ive tested VIVO, Claro and TIM SIM cards, and got HSDPA on TIM, all other operators only EDGE. To test Claro 3G, is necessary to have a 3G contract, if dont, they block the signal or sometihng like that, so I cant be sure if it will work or not Claro 3G.

Im having a problem that I cant transfer data by EDGE in some areas in São Paulo, maybe its the possible lock in 3G frequency, as I dont have this service.

I will send you a private message with my MSN, so we can test further and discuss in portuguese.

.07 i think is the best, network, battery, 3G are the same as in the .05, but regarding GPS is fantastic because conectivity is faster, more stable, so..... .07 is my choice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radeon123:
The 07 radio is very good, GPS fixes quickly, signal seems to be the same as 05 and it's very stable, but I find the battery does not last very well on 07.

When browsing with Opera over 3G and backlight on auto (guess it was at about 60%) from a full battery I was down to 50% in an hour :eek:

With the 05 radio, same settings I am usually down to 70%, maybe 65%. Back to the 05 radio for me, Shame as I really like the super fast GPS fix but 05 still connects quickly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
I have been using the .07 for some days now and although the GPS fix is very fast I have in fact had several connection problems using HSDPA here in Spain. First of all it refused to connect and then once connected it disconnects on a regular basis. I tried disabling the HSDPA which seemed to help certainly.... but hey HSDPA is important so I´m back to .05 :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sepker:
Have had .07 for two days here in the Netherlands (Vodafone) and have to go along with most of ya that the GPS is really fast and good.

My reception of 3G network is also better as i now have full signal strength indoor @home and had 2 bars indoors with the old .05

This week I will be doing a lot of driving around the country and see if it keeps it up :) Also then i'll have a better idea about battery usage. Can't tell yet if it drains it faster.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
So, is the radio v1.02.25.11 quad band or no?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] banditbanger:
I've been using 07 radio with Dutty's 1.6 for 4 days now, and while the GPS fix is really fast, battery life is not so great. I can hardly go for a day without charging, and it seems to heat up a lot while talking or surfing ower 3G. Also, hooked on BT car handsfree, it drains battery rather fast.

looks to me a bit like a sports car - fast but consumption is very high...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SecureGSM:
.07 radio does drain battery rather fast. after 7 days of testing on number of Diamonds across few GSM networks we have come to conclusion that 0.7 radio cannot be recommended for production use.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
I cannot second that! Keeping it only battery life specific, 07 did not come with any battery improvment in my case, but did not make it any worse either. Lasts still around 50-60 hours with a complete charge.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbridges30:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbridges30:

ohh im so sad that my just purchased Diamond cant be used with American 3G. :( So if its a hardware limitation i have to stay back with the clumsy EDGE connection...

Perhaps i should sell it :(:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
The thing is, we are unsure if it is a hardware limitation. Right now I am speculating that it is just a software fix that will enable the quad band 3g.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] charly_mx:
That should be great. I mean. 3.5G is supposed to be backwards compatible with 3G, so I also believe is not a hardware limitation.

If it was the other way around perhaps 3G to 3.5G i guess that should be impossible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lolento:
Right, don't listen to the guys who are claiming there is hardware limitation until the 850/1900 3g phones come out. They don't know this more than you or I do. My guess is that the regional carriers are pressuring HTC (and others) to disable quad band so discourage importing phones.

What HTC said about the 3g antenna not able to fit into the diamond doesn't hold any water either....just like the Tilt 3D acceleration issue.

Just wait and see.

UMTS (900+2100 +GSM(900+1800)

...something to add now....

OK, have something to add to previous post.....

Have found that after some more testing that the GPRS/EDGE signal in

Aberdeen, Scotland, UK on O2

with radio .07 is much better than in the .05 radio

Battery life still about the same (perhaps a tad better)

I would love to see the first page updated for those who are installing upward from .03; perhaps to go straight to .07 (as Recommended) if excellent GPS and signal strength (in the UK) is what you are looking for.......obviously can't comment on States, Europe, Aus, etc, etc, etc :D

BTW, forgot to add to my template a bullit for WiFi (is WiFi strength related to Radio??)...anyway WiFi is the same....
