I have RADIO 1.00.25.08 and I get now HSDPA speed around 1100 kbit/s (according to www.dslreports.com). Before I had only 500-600 kbit/s.

Does anybody else notice speed improvement ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kourai:
I have just tested .08 and the GPS fix is impossible (small fix during 2-3 seconds) so I go back to .07
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gioiellino:
NOW i have 1.02.25.11 + panosha 1.4 and the battery is very good.

i wont try flash Radio_1.02.25.19_HTC from raphael

samebody have already tested it??????????

excuse me for my english
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuumuun:
i just recently reverted back to 1.00.25.05 from 1.00.25.07.

.05 definetly uses up far less battery power than .07 (about 1/3 less). i decided the additional battery usage is not worth the slight increase in reception and gps fix times.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ljazzo1:
today i installed the new Radio 1.00.25.08 It seem to work fine and also fast. I noticed that the Bluetooth icon is not there anymore. In the GPS configuration i choose "Built in GPS Receiver" instead of "other Bluethooth GPS Receiver" ...maybe this can save battery power ?

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] EazyVG:
With SwiftBL 6.0 ROM (1.94 based) and .08 Radio flashed, I have nearly same performance when it comes to GSM quality, battery life, but feels lile GPS fix is little better ... my 2 cents of experience.

Please help.....

is Radio v1.00.25.05 better than radio v1.00.25.07(which i m usin it currently) ..?? usin 1.93.720.2 rom.....

i got my htc diamond locked n i got it unlocked from an outside shop... n when it got it unlocked i checked in the device info section, in their it was written radio version : olinex 1.20 ...... tht time i had 1.37.720.1 rom... n after i updgraded to 1.93 rom n wid Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex v1.40 i cannot see v1.40 olinex written in device info's radio versn... though i can c it in d volume up n soft reset window that cums wid colours......

its still showin 1.00.25.07 which i got wid my current 1.93 rom infrnt of radio version.... does it makes ne difference???

ne1's answer 2 my questions would b highly appritiated... plz help me out
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
There could be a difference. The way radio versions deal with the signal strength and what effect it has on your battery depends on your network operator and where you use your Diamond, as far as I know. Radio 1.00.25.05 seems good overall. But 1.00.25.07 works even better for me. Try different versions yourself if you can..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robby watson:
all rite thank you

Radio 07 to 08....

Been running 08now for a couple of days and have the following to contribute:

* Upgraded from Radio 07 to Radio 08

* In UK, Aberdeen on O2

* Battery life: same, perhaps slightly better

* GPS: fixes slower, using GPS test & HTC GPS Tool

* GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA: reception not as good

* WiFi signal: better actually!!

* General comments: Stable radio but perhaps go back to 07 as I think there is better signal reception (also for GPS)

Thanks to those who keep ripping them...great work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SaP1:
how can i install raphael's radioes?

in xda developer wiki there is write "Note:For flashing onto a Diamond, you will need to security unlock the device, using the Elite Team security unlocker."

where do i find this Elite Team security unlocker?

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] huwwatkins:
I was wondering the same thing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Desmondo:
I upgraded from .05 to .07 last night and it seems a nightmare for me. Reason for the upgrade is that in my office, my signal sometimes drops. 07 seemed to show an improvement first thing this morning but it now seems to be struggling to hold on to a signal at all meaning the battery is also taking a hammering as it's constantly searching.

Back to 05 tonight I think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nighthawk:
Is v1.00.25.07 quad band as well?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] viphku1:
Appreciate your feedback!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ABT4:
I have another quick question.

I know that you can unlock the 850 mhz on all diamonds but what about the 3g radio?

If I get a North American diamond will I not be able to use 3g in Asia?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I don't know where it should go.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hugoliva:
Yes it is, so is .08
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] charly_mx:
As far as we ave seen it should be possible to use 3G on our imported Diamonds, however no solution has been found yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] charly_mx:
I concurr. As far as i can see radios .07 and .08 uses far more battery than the .05. Also Ive seen that the GPS Fix is faster an more acurate.

I rolledback to .05 and I really recommend it !!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robby watson:
ya .05 radio version is too good.... internet runs too fast on it, while watchin video.. battery gets less hot..... n i work in call centre so sumtime i d buildings basement i tried to use internet but got no signal bt whn i switched to .05.... it started catchin signal n internet also workd,,,,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Demon1982:
Updated rom and radio but now internet wont work

Hi guys, first post...

I have updated to hard spl 1.40olinex.

Radio 1.00.25.05.

Rom swiftbl wwe 6.0.

I am on T-Mobile Uk. Obviously all settings were erased, but there is a connection wizard in settings which allows you to choose your country and provider.

My internet worked fine on HSDPA for a day, but now it wont connect at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lost_in_translation:
I tried 1.00.25.08 in Germany with E-Plus and switched back to .05 within some hours.

x+2 hours: GPRS will connect, but not transmit data. Activesync shows "Waiting for the network".

x+6 hours: The same again.

While improvements in single aspects may be fine, I need a Rom which offers all functionality and is reliable. A Rom that does not work correctly with my carrier is not the way to go for me.

Your mileage with other carriers may vary, I hope that others get better results with .08. However, it doesn't work out for me ;-)

Have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] solarizde:
Tryed "1.00.25.08" on German T-Mobile have huge problems with GPS. TomTom isn`t running anymore it lose the connection to GPS every 5 seconds and do a gps fix. This cause the gps signal to apear only every 45 seconds.

Everything else seems fine but this is a nogo point for me switching back to 05.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
After about 5 days with .08, I'm back to .05

I've done this mainly for comparative purposes, because I'm having difficulty deciding if .08 held any advantages over .05.

Right now, after using .05 again for various things all morning, I can't tell any difference in any radio performance. In a few days time I'll have some more idea of how power consumption compares.

At the end of the day, if you can achieve similar performance with stock rom, then why rock the boat?

On that note, is anyone aware of any documentation, specs or purpose provided along with .07 and .08?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Desmondo:
I went back to .05 again last night (from .07) and it's working fine again today. I just found .07 to be too tempremental with the signal. Move it an inch in my office and it lost it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bgolfn:
Have you extracted the radio file?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djvw:
That's a kind of "normal" problem you may have after upgrading radio without hardreset. The saved GPS data does not fully work with new radio roms. To work this out you only have to install the HTC GPS Tool (use search function) and make a cold start. Afterwards run QuickGPS to obtain new GPS data. If this doesn't work, try using QuickGPS before HTC GPS tool.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jcab:
Same here . My GPS stops working with radio 1.00.25.08. Go back to .05 and GPS works great.

Bye.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
No problem with GPS here on Radio 08!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jcab:
So, very strange. I read several posts some have problem with GPS after loading radio .08 :( and it disappeared when go back to .05, like me.:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yodajr:
I also read several post with no problem with radio .08 and GPS, like me :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jcab:
:confused:

I use Tomtom 7 and you ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gabib77:
we are talking about GPS module, not about the software we are using...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yodajr:
TT7, but like gabib77 said, it doesn't matter ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jcab:
Ok. Maybe i did something wrong or forgot doing something.

I'll give a new try next time.

Thank you.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Demon1982:
I have just updated to Dutty 1.8. Radio 07, also tried 05.

I am on T-Mobile Uk. Obviously all internet settings were erased, but there is a connection wizard in settings which allows you to choose your country and provider.

My internet worked fine on HSDPA for a day, but now it wont connect at all. I can only connect to GPRS.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jcab:
Loaded radio .08 and this time evrythin is still Ok : GPS, Internet Wifi.

Maybe i did not wait enough even it was over several minutes). This time GPS fixed satellite less than 1 minute.

Radio v1.03.25.18 (Provided from Bepe )

Was a little flakey on my DIAM100

Reverted to .05
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] leondaphillips:
I have had that.

My resolution was to replace the radio stack

I did get some joy by switching to 3g and resetting then switching back to hsdpa after too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robincop deel 2:
Make sure not to enable aGPS. That does not work and causes behaviour like you describe.

Radio v1.00.25.05 (Quad Band)

flashed this one with my mda compact 4.. with 1.37 rom...

so far so good! :) hope it will stay that way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Demon1982:
Thanks alot, I'll try that... It happened with radio 05 too, so you think I should still try to use that instead of 07?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] EazyVG:
Hmm ... why switch OFF A-GPS when it is supposed to actually help in faster fixing and I think in signal quality!!! Can you please explain this finding of yours ... tnx.

I mentioned before that .08 is working fine, but after 2 days I can say that compared to .05, the GPS sensitivity has gone down, so will be trying out the .07 now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
aGPS works just fine.

Had my diamond over a month now, and GPS with aGPS activated is flawless. I always get fixes in under 20 seconds from switch on, (often in around 5 seconds), and this is regardless of the radio I'm using... (.03 > .05 > .07 > .08 and now back to .05).

I think most of the people having problems are having problems of their own making for one reason or another. :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] open_source:
i just flashed back 1.00.25.05 after using 1.00.25.06 which came right with

DiamProject_V1_5.2.19965. Somehow had great problems with establishing

data connections. lost signal during call. now with 05 no problems at all.

used the standard 03 before, didn't have any problems with 03, but i will keep tryin 05.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smartmove:
I am on .05 at the moment and it does seem to have improve 3g performance a small amount over .03 although not used the phone enough to have an idea of battery life yet. Orange UK here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ljpfneves:
I have tryed to upgrade Radio but gets stuck with 0%.

Probably I have Hard-SPL version 1.3.

If I upgrade to version 1.4 will I loose everything (ROM+programs+data) due to a hard reset?

Any chance we have a radio upgrade that works with hard-SPL 1.3?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mksell:
Tom,

Just a question:

When I flash a new radio, it hard resets the phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Fabliv:
No, I done it and I kept all my data.

** But, for those have an unsigned HardSPL, they have to flash it with the v1.40 and so hard reset will be automatic.

Make a backup before of your data, flash the HardSPL and flash the Radio.

After that you can restore all your data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] citats:
I had been using 1.00.25.03 for quite sometime and being in Toronto the diamond doesn't work with 3G 850/1900 so I rely on edge and gprs... my phone almost always staying on gprs... I installed 1.00.25.05 and nothing but edge... Don't know what other differences there will be but this one is doozie.. so I am recommending the 1.00.25.05 radio rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hadi.ajmi:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salada2k:
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that some radio's work better in some countries than they do in others.... In other words, some radio's are optimised for a particular region.

I would be very much appreciative if you could please post the regions that these radio's were taken from, just for the sake of information.

If that's possible, then thank you. :)

Signed Hard SPL by Olinex

Guys I have Olinex Hard SPL Signed - Can I flash the .05 radio?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Fabliv:
Hi salada2k,

The 1.00.25.05 radio works in all regions, I guess.

Look at the feedback about it in this topic.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salada2k:
Hi Fabliv, (Fabric Live by any chance?)

Anyway, that was my point, the gentleman above pointed out that he could not get 3G with .05, so I guess it's not actually working in all regions?

I know that some are optimised for specific carriers, after all it is the carrier that provides the network, and although I'm willing to try ALL of the radios, I guess I just wanted some extra info which would allow me to make a more informed decision on what I believe works best for me based on carrrier/region. Then that information can be shared with others.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
I think your right... normally it´s region and ROM dependent. I didin´t have much success with the .05 here on Orange with the 1.37 ROM (the .06 was the best) but now I´ve changed to the newer build I´ll give the .05 a try again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Fabliv:
Fabrice is my first name and liv are the three first letter of my surname. :)

So, I understand what you mean and I'm agree with you, it would be great if this information be shared by all.

Have a good night ! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] CutePinkSox:

Guys can I flash any of these radios with signed Hard SPL 4 from Olinex

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Django76:
I also had 03 - 05 - 07 - 08. 08 seems to drain more energy, so I flashed to 05 back. This one has fast GPS fix and battery leasts longer.

Very nice sentence...

Can you translate it to a meaningfull sentence please?

You shouldn't generalize and judge about things you don't know about.

Guys, HELP!

I flashed my HTC Touch Diamond with the recommended radio Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.nbh and ever since I have flashed it my GPS does not work.

Currently my diamond has the below roms flashed to it. Please note that after flashing my Diamond with the SwiftBL ROM I had no problems with GPS, and now once I flashed it with the recommended radio, my GPS does not work. "Poor GPS reception - are you inside a building?"

SwiftBL Diamond ROM V6.0 Full

Radio_1.00.25.05

Telstra HTC touch diamond.

Currently live in Sydney.

Not sure what other details I'll need.

I'm not sure if its the radio or the TomTom software.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GeMaHu:
Big Thx to XDA-Developers!

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to spray my thanks to all of you, the reason why is as follows:

I recently got my HTC Diamond as a gift from vodafone for prolonging my contract for another two years. What I didn't know, was the fact that they branded the entire image... crap (I thought).

I read the article on the Hard-SPL, and also found the original RUU for 1.94 - europe... and finally got the results I wanted! A steady & firm release + a prolonged battery life + the performance I expected to get from such a high end smartphone... to be straight to the point, the Dutch release of the vodafone fw image is just utter ****e! And the customer support is even worse, Vodafone NL didn't offer any statement on future firmware releases, nor did they confirm if they are going to release any further sw version to the dutch market! Which basically would have meant that I'd had to run 1.34 for the rest of this touch diamond's life... thanks to you guys, this isn't the case anymore!

Also, the radio update boosted my battery life by another day or two, and transfer rates via HSDPA went up by at least 0.3 - 0.5 MBPS!!!!

Now I can rest assure that I'll stick to my new Diamond, and that I will not throw it into the bin and return to my trustworthy HTC S620!

Thank you soooooooo ****ing much!

GeMaHu
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NeilM:
You didn't by any chance use Pocket Toolman to disable A-GPS did you?

Pocket Toolman has options for sub-device Power Save modes, and if set (which is now ON by default) it will keep turning the GPS receiver off.

I've used all the radio stacks there are, and never seen any problem with using QuickGPS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
You don't understand, yet you reply in perfect context??? Maybe you shouldn't say one thing and mean another... taking note of your own advice will help you too. :rolleyes:

A Dutchman and a German taking the piss out of my English in their best pigeon English... you couldn't make it up! :eek::rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] funktrust:
Before I answer the quotes. My GPS does work however it try's to find the signal 500% longer! I mean it now takes over 8min to connect to the satellites... Is this correct? I mean I can live with this but I don't know if this should be correct, as I was only waiting 30sec before. Massive difference!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Just tried this and TomTom could not even detect the GPS device.

I have hard reset the device, I'm using the standard battery.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndCChris:
should i enable a-gps for better gps fix or disable? i don't use quick gps. use .08 radio rom and gps fix is quiet long. waited ca 5 minutes but doesn't get a gps signal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] petershg:
Just wondering...

Flashed .08 radio (had .05 before) and GPS fix slowed significantly. But when I removed the battery for a couple of minutes I've got a fix in 10 seconds or so (I think battery removal resets internal GPS state).

Have anybody tried to do the same? Does it solve the problem permanently?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] palmgear:
1.00.25.08 is even able to get GPS signal fixed just near the window in the house. However, the ultra sensitivity often led big inaccuracy under some lower signal cases (the GPS indicated that I was acrossing the buildings while driving in the streets).

No significant change for battery life. Fall back to .05 after about a week with .08.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
does anyone know the radio version of the US 3g diamond? im wondering if i flash that radio, MAYBE, it will enable 3g on my diamond. has this been discussed anywhere?!
