Oh well, the .23 seems to be stable with UMTS as the 25.05, optimal battery usage (I've charged it yesterday at 3.00pm and its still on after about ten received calls, a 40 minutes GPS session and a lot of bubblebreaker playing). However this is still nothing compared to my colleague's Treo Pro battery duration, after one week is still on and I guess the device doesn't have a fuel cell in it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The Jones:
So, I have been using v1.09.25.23 for the last couple of days.

My initial impressions are that all connections types have been improved. GPRS/EDGE seems stronger, I am on EDGE more than before. Wth 3G and HSDPA I always have one more bar than I used to have.

I get a stronger signal in general - often 2 more bars than previously - and call quality is excellent.

I dont really use GPS but I got a fix in a few minutes - all the radios have been the same for me. I cannot comment on the lag.

WiFi is the same as all the other radios for me.

Battery life appears slightly improved, but only time will tell.

Overall, a good radio for O2 in UK
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kourampies:
1.09.25.23 for me:

Way Better GSM + 3G

A little faster GPS

The same WiFi

Propably worst battery life

Havent tested bluetooth yet :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] manuel_1988:
I'm also using 1.09.25.23 since five days and I'm overall very happy with it. GPS fix is fast (but a little bit less fast than .05) but battery life seems improved to me since now my device can be on two days with some wifi and some gps. Plus with .05 I had a GPS Lag of about one to two seconds, now it's no longer lagging.

T-Mob USA with US Diamond

Hello all. I am not new to the forums, however I am new to posting. So PLEASE bare with me.

I have the US unlocked Diamond with the .05 original radio. I am in MI, and I have t-mobile. My phone signal is not as good as the s710 I was using. So I am looking for some members in the US with t-mobile and wondering which is the best radio they have been using.

I just read the 59 pages here, and it seems most of the posters are from other countries and the questions that have been asked by the other t-mobile users have been ignored.

One suggestion to the mods for this forum.. what about breaking it up by country. It would make more sense when trying to figure out which is the best radio.

If you are on t-mob and have any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
Please, do you, really read the thread? If you did so, don't you understand that it is a little more complex than that? :rolleyes:

Even if you find someone, on this forum, living in the same area, with the same operator, he or she will not us the Diamond on the same way (more GPS use or more WiFi,...)

So read the "How To..." and try different recent Radios to find wich is the best (for the moment) in your area, with your operator and your way of using a Diamond...;)

P.S.: The only ignored questions are those who where already answered before ...;)

If some questions don't receive an answer, it is, maybe, because they are to specific to a area or a operator, but I can't imagine that all the T-Mobile users only have problems (and never find solutions) or a "way of life" (finding solutions but not posting them for other users)...:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gldmmber:
Belzebuth thank you for the reply. Yes I did read the entire thread and yes I understand that everyone is using the phone differently, for instance I do not use the GPS at all. I am looking for battery and signal strength. And for the signal, it would do me very little to go by what the signal strength is in your country with each of these radios. The reason for the thread is to help each other, therefore I asked a pointed question to see if there is anyone with the same service around my area that has already tried these radios. Thus saving me some time and effort. And the questions that have been asked by the US t-mobile users have not been answered that I have seen. I see a lot of AT&T posts, (mostly because the users on AT&T are far greater than that of US T-Mobile) but little by way of T-Mobile. Therefore I asked.

1.09.25.23

I have been using this radio for 3 days now and I can safely say that this is more sensitive and stable than 1.00.25.08 which I had been using since Aug 08.

I am with Singapore Starhub; this telco uses 2100 Mhz band mostly so the signal strength in some areas (especially indoors) is questionable at best. However, on an average, I get one bar more as compared to my previous radio.

I also tried the GPS tool and I got a fix in less than 90 secs while stationary and less than 120 secs while moving at about 70 Kmph. I did not see any lag at his speed on Google maps (I do not have Tom Tom or other GOS maps to test).

The battery drain in no better or worse than the old radio; like any other radio, the battery drains faster on 3G. I get about 20 hours on non-3G and about 14 when on 3G, but I am a heavy email user (exchange push mail), texting and reading ebooks. So I do put the device through its paces.

On a side note, I have to use 3G now as I am trialing a new Starhub product called home zone. This is a personal cell site that you can put inside your house and it connects to the cellular backbone via my broadband connection. (I told you that Starhub signal is iffy inside houses). So since 6:00am this morning when I took the phone off the charger the battery is down to 93% now (8:45 am). Not bad for my usage.

Hi solxiis, did you have any luck I am keen to put this std rom on my DIAM130 Telstra Diamond (Australia), have constant drop outs etc being on 3 with this phone and have tried every radio rom combination they all have drop out problems. Being a heavy user, I am thinking of selling Telstra's DIAM130 and just buying the 3's DIAM100. How are you finding the performance with the Australian 3 diamond any drop outs problems etc.?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spoonwzd:
I've had BS14 on my Aztor v7 for a few weeks now and and much happier with it - I'm getting much better signal, call quality and battery life than with .16 - nearly 3 days standby now with BT perm on.

I've also had no lockups or pauses or anything - it's been pretty much flawless.

Go figure!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kolbac:
hi,

i post my experience with 4 diamond radios in italy under H3g mobile operator.

Version 1.00.25.08

good reception, 36h of battery time, good gps;

version 1.00.25.16

better reception, 48h of battery time, faster gps fix ;

version 1.08.25.08

reception as 1.00.25.16, 56+ of battery time, better gps fix;

version 1.09.25.23

reception as 1.00.25.16, 36h of battery time, gps like 1.08.25.08

so i go with 1.08.25.08 for better battery lasting....

i think that now we are in the scenario like the kaiser radio, where there is no a best radio..but depends on the network and usage...

bye
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazzdaciple:
should I update?

I have great problems getting GPS to work on my HTC pro. According to a thread on the internet flashing the ROM and/or radio can improve the function.

at the moment I have installed (factory setting):

Rom version : 1.90.404.1 NLD

ROM Date: 08/01/08

Radioversion: 1.02.25.19

protocolversion: 52.33.25.17U

1) What is the latest (un)official rom I can use?

2) what is the latest radio version I can use?

3) where can I find these files?

What phone do you have? Diamond? Raphael? or another? I'll assume it is a Diamond since you have posted in here....I do not recognise HTC Pro?

In terms of best for battery, read the whole thread, and you will find out that no-one can tell you. It is what is best for YOU, depending on where you are, what network you use, what exact device you have, and how YOU use the phone.

The only answer is try them ALL and see which one YOU like best!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] raftersvk:
I'd just like to add my 2 cents to this thread in regards to battery life because I know we are lot of people looking for the best alternative.

I have been using Riadio v1.08.25.08 for the last few days:

* With ROM: ShineOn 2.4 FULL

* Country/Location/Network: Germany / T-Mobile (but roaming a lot in Europe)

I have a pretty simple "business usage" with a few calls+sms a day and 24/7 push-mail enabled.

I totally agree with kolbac experience that the 1.08.25.08 is the best for battery life. In my case I have also used the "Power Management" options of Advanced Configuration Tool.

As a matter of example after about 42 hours of use I still have 40% of my battery available!!

Hope this might help you guys and maybe you can cross-check on your side if you get the same lifetime ;-)

Yes this is it, but to have that working you need to have a Microsoft Exchange 2003 SP2 on the other end.

I did test the 1.00.25.05 and actually used it before upgrading both the cooked ROM and the radio ROM. I also in the meantime tested the 1.00.25.16 which I wouldn't recommend.

To answer your question on comparing 1.00.25.05 and 1.08.25.08 I have so far (only has been a week since I have the new one) not seen any big difference in terms of quality. I can only say that for the second time yesterday the combination of advanced config tool and this new radio rom gave more that 40 hours of use. To precise what I said before (42 hours - 40%) my battery actually died quite fast afterwards just reaching the 48hours of uptime with litlle phone calls on the second day.

I am also not saying that this should be the case for everybody... just sharing my experience in case it would help you guys too ;-)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] doloop:
Hi guys,

Juste a message to share with you my last guess about radio drivers:

My operator is orange france, i usually use 1.00.25.16, but last day i tried 1.09.25.23 and 1.08.25.08 mainly to improve battery life.

I didn't notice change in gps quality (excellent), but i did notice Edge and Umts quality drop: 1.00.25.16 was pretty good, but 1.08.25.08 et 1.09.25.23 were bad in same condition. So i checked my "band" settings in "phone" settings, and went from auto to "umts(2100)+gsm(900+1800)" which reflect my operator frequency. From that both three radios perform the same very good overall quality.

I've learn that my operator is using 900mhz frequency in umts too, so as i read on xda, i updated my registry (hkml/software/oem/phonesettings/band or something like this) and edited the first key to: "umts(2100+900)+gsm(900+1800)". It's currently assumed that the radio driver will check 2100 umts first, then 900 umts, then 900 edge, then 1800 edge.

Should someone of you give me a software for me to know in real time what band and what mode my phone is connected to ? I'm sure we could improve band configuration knowledge with such a tool. I remember battery status did have such a function, does homescreen++ still have it ?

What radio should you use? - Read this thread, and try some of the radios out. There is no answer to what is the best, it all depends on where you live and how you use your phone.

Try a few radioes. - Some might work for you. But generally the newest diamond radio is usually okay. Defently better than the one you uses.

Any feedback on 1.08.25.20M1 ported from Raphael?

This was the stock radio version that came with my pure Diamond recently released by 3 in Australia in conjunction with ROM 1.93.861.3 WWE that I've had for a couple of weeks.

Have to say I haven't experienced any of the issues in this thread -

GPS fix in TomTom and iGo usually within 10 secs.

36 hours + battery life (at least one bar remaining) with reasonable usage (GPS, WiFi etc).

Good WiFi reception to about 30 metres.

Great call quality - no dropouts so far.

Especially interested in any feedback using this version with Dutty's 3.4
