Hello !

Lot of people ask for a radio that helps with battery life.

One important point in fact is the signal strenght.

I explain :

depending on the signal strenght, the phone adjusts the antenna power in order to keep the best signal. So different people with the same phone configuration (radio, rom, etc...) will have different results, depending how far they are from the provider antenna : the weakest the signal is, the more the antenna will use power, and drain battery life.

If you want to find which radio is the best for you, you'll have to try by yourself, or maybe ask people using the same ROM and same provider (because of GSM band) which radio gives the best signal.

Sorry for my bad english, hope you'll understand what i'm saying ;)

Problem installing new radio

I tried to install the new 1.08.25.20 radio, which should be quad band.

Well, after installing it, my diamond can't reach the signal.

I think that the radio has been well installed, given that I can see it after a soft reset. How that is possible??

Anyone can help me, please? :)

hi,

I can not get any gsm signal under 1.08.25.20 .

Can you test if you have GSM network under this version ?

I think it is much like 1.09.25.23...

Battery is fine, i think.

The gps position is quite good. I dont know about the gps lag, as I dont have a car.

Reception is as 1.09.25.23.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I liked 1.09.25.23..I guess I will give it a go....Thanks

1.09.25.23 vs 1.02.25.32

I flashed my diamond radio to 1.09.25.23 and I am able to hold the high speed connection at my house way longer than my Fuse which is using the 1.02.25.32. Basicly the Fuse has a Edge signal and my Diamond is keeping and holding a high speed connection, nice I can tether high speed now. The next test will be a battery drain test. I hope it last.......

Then it should be okay... hmm...

Your phone is a diam300... Were are you from? what network etc?

Try flashing a earlier radio. eg 1.00.25.8, as that one works on all devices, as far as I know.

If that doesnt work try another hardspl. I use OliNex 1.93 and that works perfekt for everything.

If that doesn't work either, then try flashing the newest original rom you can find. That should reset more or less everything on your phone. Then start over with the hardspl. etc.

Hope it works. Give us the results. :-)

My (XDA) Diamond comes from Germany, but i live in Austria and my provider is "3 Austria".

Currently i have the radio 1.09.25.23 on my device.

I'll try to downgrade to an earlier radio version and then upgrade to 1.08.25.20.

If that wont give a satisfying result, i'll try to flash a original rom (and use SPL1.93) when i have enough time. Thanks for your quick replies; i'll report if it was successful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sblop:
If you earlier have been able to flash roms and radios then you do a "funny" mistake. :-)

I do believe that you have downloaded the wrong version of the new radio...

Try this link http://www.megaupload.com/dk/?d=R51L83FB

The mistake is you are flashing the radio from the raphael. It is exactly the same radio. The only diffrence is you have to be security unlocked to flash radioes from other devices...

The link http://www.megaupload.com/dk/?d=R51L83FB is the proper diamond version of 1.08.25.20. Try downloading this one, and tell me if it works. :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ennsi83:

Thank you very much! I was quite sure, that i've loaded the correct file yesterday, but in this case, it wasn't.

i can only find "Radio v1.08.25.08 (52.44.25.24U)" in first page

does this a Quad Band radio?

does anyone know how to indentify a radio a Quad Band radio?

after flash to this radio, why my diamond display protocol version is (52.44.25.24H)? not (52.44.25.24U)

i was download on first page
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
I made a quote of the first page, so you can see that there is much more than ONE radio on this...:D

You can also see, wich are quad band and the protocol they are using...;)

Please, READ IT Attentively...;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ricky119:
thanks, i have read all the thread.

but my question is when i flash the 1.08.25.08 from here.

Radio v1.08.25.08 (52.44.25.24U)

-Download HERE

in my device information, the protocal is (52.44.25.24H)

i can double comfirm i have download the 1.08.25.08, but why my protocal version is not(52.44.25.24U)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
Sorry, I didn't understand your first post...:o

It's very strange indeed because I was just flashing 1.08.25.08 again (I was with 1.08.25.20) and I have the 1.08.25.08 protocol again (before I had 52.44.25.24H, like written)

Reflash your Radio and check if you have 1.08.25.08 radio with 1.08.25.08 protocol...;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ricky119:
i will have a try

BTW, how was your feeling about 1.08.25.20?

is this only quad band change from 1.08.25.08?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
I did not feel much difference between the 2 (I'm using GSM, GPS and WiFi only)

Maybe a little more longer to get a GPS Fix with 1.08.25.20, but it's so difficult to say, there are so much parameters (weather, car with thermic windshield or not,...)...:p

But, as we know, 1.08.25.20 use (I think) a older protocol ("H" is before "U"), and was with a Australian 1.93 ROM. (Thank you sblop for all these infos!)

I know, also that certain Australian Operators uses certain options that we don't need here in Europe...

So ,living here, in Belgium, I prefer to use a Radio with latest protocol, who came with a 1.97 ROM (with better drivers) of European Operators...:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ricky119:
i have try falsh 1.08.25.08 agian and again

all the protocol version is H, i don't know why.

even i flash back to offical ROM then flash the 08 radio, still the same

i see lots of Chinese user in Chinese forum have the same issue with me.

it's so strange.

aslo, i also can see 1.08.25.08 has 850mh band in setting-phone-band

but in the first post, i saw you do not mentioned 1.08.25.08 as a quad band radio. can you explain?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
No...:p

Sorry...:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Marco.t...:
Hey,

im using the 1.08.25.20 Radio and the Protocol which is shown in the Device-Info is 52.44.25.24U does this mean that i use this protocol or is it a mistake in the system and im using the protocol 52.44.25.24H :confused:

My experience

1.08.25.20

* With ROM: dutty 3.5, but with 16 megs of pagepool.

* Country/Location/Network: Denmark, Hi3G (3)

* Battery life: I think this is one of the best at battery so far.

* GPS: The fix is okay. I do feel I have tried better, but no matter what I get a fast fix. The fix i stable and precise. I don't have a car so I dont know about the gpslag.

* GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA: When walking around my city, I do feel that the reception is a little worse than other radios. But the phone changes to roaming (2g) very fast (faster than usual) so I really don't matter.

* WiFi signal: Works perfekt. Good and stable signal, and no problem transfering big files. Tried to download 100 megs to my phone and that went without any problems.

* General comments: I am generally really happy about this radio. BUT... In the last few days (after changing radio to this one), I have had several calls that hasnt gone through. My girlfriend called med 3 times today, but the phone didnt rang until the third time... It didnt even show any missed call notification... I don't know if this is the radio, or because I were walking around shopping christmas gifts, and had a bad reception...

But I will test this radio for some longer time... The other days it didnt drop any calls, so I do believe that It is due to the phone being in a pocket together with lots of coins, inside shops, without reception. :-)

By the way....

Merry christmas to you all. :-)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Teppic24:
I put 1.08.25.20 on my phone (stock 1.93 ROM) and the battery dropped by 5% in 15 minutes, and that was with doing absolutely nothing to the phone - no calls, texts, internet, nothing!

I've since reverted back to 1.00.25.05 and the battery has dropped only 2% in 2 hours.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] K-Hole:
Same for me. Excellent Battery Live. But often looses network connection and doesn't reconnect automatically.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sblop:
I don't think you can really give any good feedback by only using the radio for 15 minutes...

I try when I give feedback to test the radio for a few days first. else the feedback isn't reliable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Teppic24:
Granted, but it was more the shock value, plus I'm going to be away from my PC for a few days with no way of reverting if I needed to until the weekend. I haven't ruled out using it again, but in all honesty I should have oput more thought in to it before flashing tonight. I wasn't expecting the battery to drop so rapidly, but my phone is filled with crap and could do with a clean-out.

It was more of a "bung it on and see how it goes", and the battery drain was a case of "Ok, maybe not right now".

i have flashed sevrval times to 1.08.25.08, but none of them got a "U", all is "H", i dont know why, although the first page of this thread is told 1.08.25.08 is "U"

i don't know why
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bobo Willis:
I think "H" means that HSDPA is enabled, while "U" stands for UMTS ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] K-Hole:
Why should your device know before boot is completed (it shows version information 5 seconds after switching on) which protocol your provider uses?

I have Protocol version W. I'm in Germany and i'm using UMTS and HSDPA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] .dissent:
the letter u, w or h doesn't stand for protocol ur provider uses try to flash different roms (not radio) and u'll see that on different roms at the 1st boot stands for example "u" and after the 2nd or 3rd boot stands for example "h" and i can't figure the logic of such switching between u, w or h
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anthony82:
maybe W is for WCDMA...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] K-Hole:
It sure is not. We don't have WCDMA in Germany.
