.17 or .07 - possible typo ?

.07 Radio - The best BUT drains batery too fast

Ok

I said I would post after a few days use of the Radio .07

So far it's been the best, quick 2g/3G switching and very fast GPS.

The downside for me is the battery ! Used to get 2.5 days out of the .05 now only get 1 day out of 0.7

Waiting to see if theres a better radio else back to .05......:(

Radio 1.00.25.07

I upgraded to Radio 1.00.25.07 [ROM is SwiftBL v5.0] and the GPS is certainly faster [cold fix outside in less than 5 minutes compared to more than 20 minutes for 1.00.25.05 [with the same ROM]

Voice, data seem to work fine. I will try to report back on battery life since some posts mention that as a problem.

.07 is not labeled as quad band in the first post here but reading here

[ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2542096 ] it seems it is [the post is from someone in Canada who ought to be able to tell I suppose]

Edit:

I changed ROM to SwiftBL v6.0 and radio to .05 and got GPS cold fix within 3 minutes this time. Only differences I can think of are

1. Hard reset after the radio install to .05

2. Use of the standard battery and its cover [instead of the extended battery and its cover - this issue discussed elsewhere [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2564358#post2564358 ]

So perhaps its not the difference in radios .05 and .07 but one or both of the above factors?

.08 Radio

I find this radio not worth as the signal is not as good as .07
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
I see there is a UMTS 1700 with .08 radio? or was that allso in .07 and another radios?? cant remember..

My signal strength is the same as .07 radio, now when Im in gsm/edge area the final test is when im at home in 3G

area. There i can compare .07 and .08 radio more. Dont no but its "feels" that I had better sound quality in calls, with .07 radio. Gps fix is very fast as in .07 Radio
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackeyes972:
the .07 consumes more but...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrLaban:
I have just flashed the .08 and went outside and tested the GPS.

I got full GPS fix on 20 secs! (Haven't used the GPS since I flashed the ROM earlier today)

Now I also got better 3G reception @ home =)

..so let us hope it dosn't drain the battery! I'll come back with more updates when I have testet it for some days.

ROM: SwiftBL 6.0 Full LOCATION: Oslo / Norway
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Petrovitch2:
This is the main question for me so thanks for testing, but pls be careful while estimating the result, I think it is quite difficult to tell the difference with the battery counsumption exactly.

BTW who knows how it was measured between the previous 05 and 07 radios?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phankhi:
GPS on .08 is great. I think its better than .07. Fixes withing <20secs!!! reception is as good. have to wait a few days to see battery life

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Schermbecker:
to compare the battery life for each radio it maybe possibly would make sense to stress the phone under the same conditions (e.g. running backlight and applications all the time). what do you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tufyuma:
Noob question, need help

I just got my diamond (don't even have my sim card yet, for Att) and want to make it a quad band:

I downloaded the 1.08.25.08 radio

and when i go to update it asks if i want to:

go from: Image Version 1.37.707.1 WWE

to : 1.00.25.08

is this because of a different numbering system, should i be concerned or just go ahead and do it and everything will be the same except i will have a better radio?

Also is there a set of detailed instructions, i think i can do it without but i would like to have the just in case, all i can find are bits and pieces here and there.

Thanks any info would be helpfull

Jim

Edit* I found the instructions!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] frozenwaffles:
just press go!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:

error message

Well it tired it and it didn't work

got a message: Error [262] : update error

Hi all.

I just updated my radio to 1.00.25.07 .Everybody say that ia quad band but I didn't see 850 band in my band selection. Did I missing somethings? please help.

Thanks alot

I'm using 1.93.831.1 WWE rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
you dont select it, those entries are useless. in the phone app dial *#*#364#*#* . in BAND, it will say 850 when your using that signal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peeweegary:
Hey all. Im a total noob at this flashing and upgrading stuff. So Im using radio version 1.00.25.03 and Rom version 1.37.707.1 WWE. So if i want to upgrade my rom to 1.00.25.05 to acquire Quadband, will this radio version work with the rom im using?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gabib77:
If it is the first time, try to upgrade from htc.com ver.1.93.401.2 and you will have also 1.00.25.5 radio version

If you want only radio upgraded, it will work with your official firmware 1.37...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peeweegary:
ohhh okok thank you =). One more question. So if i do choose to upgrade the rom, will all my stored items on the phone be wiped out?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] turkish_racer:
radio rom hangs after approximately 1 minute

Hello everyone,

I have updated my T.Diamond to test the Radio v1.03.25.18 (Provided from Bepe) but it freezes after approximately 1 minute in every 2nd opened application like mediaplayer, tomtom, etc. Can't use the T.D. untill it is soft reseted.

Making a call with this rom is also a problem, when at least 1 application is opened.

I also tried to hard reset the T.D. with no effect at all, the issue is still there.

So I highly do not recommend to use this rom at all.

p.s.

The rom I use on my T.D. is the _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_1.93.404.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship

Hey guys, I am a noob to HTC Diamond and have read around about the Radio Roms. I got mine from Hong Kong and here are my specs:

ROM: 1.93.831.1 WWE

Radio: 1.00.25.05

My question is does my Radio already support quadband or do I need to flash it to the .05 posted here? Furthermore, when you have quadband, you will be able to select 850 in the band preference right?

Side note, the first Diamond I got had firmware from May and it was really buggy but I got a new one instead. But the funny thing was when I was looking at the bands, it allowed me to select 850.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
You already have 1.00.25.05 which is quadband (as it says in the first post of this thread), and since you've played around with the band selection you already know how it works.

If the version numbers match then it IS the same version.

Doh!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The Jones:
Is it my imagination or whenever I flash a new radio (just gone to 08 from 07 and that from 05 and from 03) it takes an hour or two and a soft reset to get the best from it!

My 2 cents, this latest radio at home seems exactly as good as 07 (I dont get 3G at home but I get 4 bars on GSM all the time pretty much). GPS is excellent again. Better than 03 and 05.

Interestingly, if I enable 3G at home, then on this radio I still dont get 3G reception (never have) but I do lose one bar of GSM reception! Odd but not a problem for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ray90:
So are you able to see 850 in the band selection? Cause I cannot see it on mine with that Radio on it.

Thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
I seem to have found the first GPS fix takes a while, then after a soft reset, all is fine... this has happened after every radio flash I've done so far (about half a dozen).

Also, so far, I can't see any differences between 07 and 08 all seems about the same. With 07 I saw slight improvements over 05 in GPS fix time and normal network signal strength (don't get 3G here).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
Hello Dutty,

Further to the above, I'd be interested to hear, if you wouldn't mind (please:)) giving us a quick idea of what you've done, and why in your latest two radio releases?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
Yes, with the 05 radio I am able to choose 850, for instance in combination with 1900.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hkboi:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kikakeule:
well....

which users want to flash there Radios?

mostly the cracks(which wont ask here) and those with older ones

but those with older ones mainly use non-cooked roms (as many cooked roms bring newer radios) and so for most people asking a radio update ends up in flashing a hardspl and so ends up in a hardreset and data loss^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
That means your in the open with a good signal. go into a building or garage or elevator and it will switch to the 850 band.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Laubscherc:
Anyone tested the 1.00.25.08 for Battery life?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
Simply not true... flashing hardspl does not necessitate a hard reset, and a hardspl flash and radio only flash will not delete a dicky bird from your device... full stop.

Sorry to be blunt, but I've heard this wive's tale too often now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
everything seems to be the same if not a bit better. i recommend 1.00.25.08 over all current radios! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
Been using 08 for the last 36 hours, and think it's fine... at least on a par with any other configuration I've used in the main, and GPS is possibly better again than even 07. But to be honest, I didn't really notice a significant degradation in battery performance when I went from 05 to 07... so it's really difficult to quantify for 08, especially when you're using your phone through a busy day of differing uses (calls, internet use etc. etc.).

I'd be interested in any other feedback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Im sure I noticed a slight boost in performance and a little bat life.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nemo0815:
I flashed Olinex 1.40 hard spl (unsigned) and it did definately hard reset my device which resulted in a total data loss.

Flasing the radio alone however does not hard reset!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
No worries mate,

First off, download the radio you want, (I'm using dutty's 1.00.25.08, but you can take your pick, and once you're hardspl'ed, you can flash away radios to your hearts content without affecting your main rom).

I used hardspl 1.24 available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408621

It's probably the best all rounder out there at the moment, and I've used it for radios and main ROM (1.93), and it's been perfect... download it and follow the instructions given in the first post to the letter.

Once the hardspl is installed, you will already have the radio of your choice to hand, so follow the instructions given in the first post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=407956

Do that precisely as instructed, and you'll be all tooled up with the latest radio, and your main rom, setting etc will be left as is.

Ps, don't be put off by the RUU utility when you get to the page where it looks as if it's trying to update your current main rom with your radio rom... just keep on going, it isn't touching the main rom provided it is flashing only a radio... you'll see what I mean when you get to that stage.

Pps, for added safety, make sure you backup any very important data you may have on your phone... ultimately there are no absolute guarantees when flashing devices, and you will see it many times written on this site that you can only get flashy with your device on this basis.

Otherwise Enjoy :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] studz:
If 1.40 hard resets, it must be built into its code to do so. I can specifically confirm that 1.24 given in my example above and flashed accurately according to the instructions does not.

It might therefore be that some hardspls will hard reset, and some won't (Signed v Unsigned Perhaps? as per 1.24 v 1.40 mentioned above??). This is a pretty important issue, so it might be useful if people feedback which do and don't, then perhaps a mod could sticky the results for ready reference.

Hi!

Just got my Diamond last week and have read a lot in the forum and just upgraded to 1.00.25.08 from 1.00.25.05.

I hoped this would help my lousy connection at home, since I only have one bar in the antenna icon, and I sometimes lose that one as well. If I put the Diamond at the window it goes between 1 and 2 bars.

The upgrade didn't help me to improve this. Am I being totally naive here to think it would have? The reception has been the same with .03, .05 and now .08, at least of what I can see so far.

Does anyone know what version has the best 3G reception, or doesn't it matter in my case?

Worst case scenario I have to return the Diamond because I won't be 100% I can receive calls in my own apartment(!).

Thankful for any idea that would get me a better reception!

Slimelectric
