Hi guys, i thought id share my experience with 03. 05. 06. and 11 RADIO's

I have tried them all and must admit that 1.00.25.05 Radio is so far the best and most stable at least on my Diamond. I had several crashes while running on 03 radio and performance was really slow. 06 and 11 were equally bad in my case as i didnt mabage to get 3g reception in the same area and Wi-Fi was dropping connection every 2-3 minutes. With 05 Radio everything runs like a charm. GPS fix takes no more than 15-30 seconds, 3g signal is reasonably ok (im on vodafone uk and it is not perfect where i live), Wi-Fi is stable and call are clear. Thanks a lot for uploading these updates

My HTC Diamond was originally bought from Vodafone UK

at The moment running ROM 1.93.456.2 WWE

Hi folks,

this is my first post here on the xda-developers forum!

First of all, thanks to all of you guys to allow me to discover this "new world"!!!

Second, I'm a proud owner of a Diamond since two days only (it was an unexpected gift from a friend) but it has been already customized using your valuable programs and suggestions.

At the moment the original OS in Italian has been changed with the Elite 3.0 in ENG and the original .03 radio with the .05 one.

I will follow this beautiful forum to get more updates!

Thanks again for your effort in improving those jewels...

Ciao

Hi, I am running 1.93.831.1 WWE 52.29.25.12H_1.00.25.05 and upgraded to Radio 1.02.25.11

I find that 3G reception has not improved with any of these roms, .05 being the most stable of course.

Hi, I just wanted to know.. Tmobile USA said.. they are going to have 3G services on UMTS 1700 and 2100... but they use their GSM on 1900 bandwidth and 850 on roaming....

is it possible to combine those 4 into 1 group selection on the next radio update?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] huwwatkins:
Agreed - I hope they do somthing about it, somewhere on here somone posted a reading from the enginerring menu on this phone showing how sensative the 3g was at it wasn't good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jomo25:
Umm, these radios are not being custom developed here, they are being extracted from existing production and test devices and made available. So, you will just have to wait until HTC and some carrier make one with your desired combination available. But just to level set on expectations, it could be a long wait for anything with 1700.

Sorry to repeat my question third time but... could someone make signed versions of radios? So that they could be flushed with non developer version of Hard-SPL.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jmesgon:
Nowaday I have the ROM HTC 1.00.25.03. I have tried five times update the rom radio to 1.00.25.05 but it can't continue from 0 %....

However if I go to my telephone..there you can see:

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

UMTS (850 + 1900) + GSM (850 + 1900)

UMTS (800 + 2100)

UMTS (850 + 2100) + GSM (900 + 1800)

UMTS (850) + GSM (900 + 1800)

UMTS (1700)...

then, Which is the band that I haven't????

Bye.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] obender:
To the first part of your question - the 0% is because you (most likely) have non-developer version of Hard-SPL and as I mentioned above it would be nice to have signed radios versions so that people like you and I could update radios too.

To the second part of your question - I suspect that the list of bands has little to do with actual working bands for your phone.

The list looked the same even at 0.9 version of the radio.

I´m new at this but i got to ask. I live in Sweden, i got my dimond about a week ago, its lockes to a specific operator, in sweden the operator is called 3 or Hi3G. The signal is very weak compared to my nokia telephones and even my old LG. I´m thinking about changing the radio, ive got 03, and want to try 05. But my problem is, if i got this right i must use hard SPL, unsigned, to use the radio found on this page? And if i use the hard SPL, and the radio 05, can i restore my thelephone to its original settings incase of warranty or is the operator-lock intergrated in any of the roms?

I´m really upset with my HTC, because where i live, i´ve got good 3G on any other telephone. But the Diamond is really a joke when it comes to signal strenght. I´ve got my telephone replaced, because i thought it was defect, even my opertor thought so.

Can someone please help me, I really like the phone exept for the weak signal.

3G Singal is always at 2-3 Bars with Diamond with all the Radio ROMs available till now. Whereas the same Orange SIM if I put in my touch cruise it works great at 4 Bar without dropping a single bar. so I believe it is not network but the Radio ROM which is the culprit. 2G however is ok

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] timn2087:
Before flashing any radios or ROMs, you should probably unlock your Diamond. See this post about unlocking,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394897

Using the methods detailed instruction in the first post this forum, you can upgrade your radio ROM safely. If you have not installed Hard SPL unsigned, you need to do so. The pick the radio ROM of your choice (Radio v1.00.25.05 is pretty much the good one at the moment). Installing Hard SPL will hard reset your Diamond, so backup your contacts, SMS etc first using PIM backup (from pocketpcfreewares.com). Of course you will need to install all apps as well. After you have installed Hard SPL, update the Radio rom using the instructions in the first post. You may also like to upgrade the device ROM as well. I am currently using Elite 3.0 which is very stable and fast. It seems to work well coupled with Radio v1.00.25.05. If you need to return your Diamond for warranty service, there are instructions on the forum (search) which tell you where to download and how to return to original versions of radio, SPL, and ROM. ALWAYS flash the original radio and ROM BEFORE installing the original SPL. As Hard SPL will prevent you from bricking your device, whereas the original SPL has not protection against bricking. You can PM me at any time for help, or I am happy to reply on the forum as well. Good luck with it! cheers:D

registerin diamond on 2g network

Ok, i sent a pm to tom about this yesterday (even opened a thread) but up to now i have not received a single reply). so i thought that maybe its a Radio related issue. here's the case:

I got the diamond in London (through Orange UK) , unlocked it , did hardspl, changed the radio to 05 and have now come on holidays to a country (Iran) whose network is 2G.

When I put the local SIM Card in Diamond , it recognizes the various networks and asks me to choose one and register. But as soon as I hit register, it tries to register for ages and finally fails to do so.

Is there anyway I can get over this problem and use this European-version Diamond in Iran?

I also have my Hermes and Kaiser with me (both are from Orange UK) and they both work fine with the 2G network here in Iran (of course, on these two devices i've flashed hundreds of custom roms but the Diamond is still on a stock rom)

I noticed that boinger66 is having a thread discussing Diamond in 2G India. but it doesn't seem to pertain to this specific issue.

Could this problem be ROM related? I mean could the rom on a device have anything to do with its registering or not registerin on a specific network ?

Could it be Radio related? I used radios 03, 05, 06 and 11. But still no success. Anyone any idea?

Thanks a million times for any suggestion.

Well, called HTC today. Explained the problem and he said, The diamond hasn´t got the best 3g, but not the worst. It turns out that there is an update to 05 radio for the swedish market, But not yet official.

The guy i talked to (who ofcourse uses the diamond) said that he never had any problems with the 3g after the upgrade.

So i must do the following, send my telephone to the company that repaires phones for my operator to get the newer 05 radio.

I know theres alot of people already using 05. Can anyone tell me if theres a big differance between 03 and 05 regarding 3G?

If there isn´t, I sadly must return it to my operator. The only thing so far that works 100% is the gps, but if I wanted a gps, I would buy a gps, not a phone.

not much difference at all.
