New TP radio - 1.11.25.01

Over in the Touch Pro forum, we've had a new TP specific radio for a week. Since I haven't seen it mentioned here, I thought I'd at least bring it to your attention and share the wealth.

It's version # is exactly the same as the Quartz, but I've tested both and the TP version has been the best radio I've flashed to date. (Dallas, TX - ATT - ROMeOS 1.8)

Notes:

-The link below is exactly as is from the TP forum. I do not know if conversion or recoding is necessary so flash at your own risk!

-For some users, flash would crash @ 99%, but upon resest the flash actually went through. The flash did NOT crash for me.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I extracted that Radio also and used it with Shaks 320 rom for a good 2 weeks right after it was posted in the Raphael forum. I would say I got the same results as the Blackstone Radio v1.10.25.25..... Battery life, Reception was about the same and GPS lock was less than 10 seconds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peta§:
Can't get it to work. Says wrong phone model. The phone is SU and the Quartz version of 1.11.25.01 does install. What do I do wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Nothing you did wrong, he posted the Raphael Radio for the Rapael Touch Pro.

It has to be converted to the Diamond format before it can be flashed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Warjcowski:
@peta§

Pumpiron579 is correct.

I'm not familiar with all of the workings of the Diamond and it sounds like you might need to convert it especially if you aren't security unlocked (it was the first thing i did and best investment ive made)

There is a program to convert radio signatures, but I usually request that from the senior members perform the conversion.

Im not going to post a link to the converter so that inexperienced flashers dont brick their phone so here is the thread's title for those who are willing to take the plunge "Signing Diamond Radio ROM's as being Raphael's." I am not sure if this only works for diamond>raph conversion or if it can be done the other direction.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lokosis:
After installing the 1.11.25.01 I'm getting the same problem I once had with my Polaris.

Once in a while when a person calls me, it will send them straight to voicemail and not ring on my end, this sometimes happens very often. What will happen on my end is the Diamond will temporarily loose the network connection at the time the ringer should start. Anyone else have this problem?

Radio v1.09.25.35 (Blackstone)(52.55b.25.28) (SU) (Quad Band)

Hi,

I use:

- Radio v1.09.25.35 (Blackstone)(52.55b.25.28) (SU) (Quad Band)

- Network - 3 sweden -

- Big battery

Lost some reception but overall is this radio good. Probably because I have the big battery can I use the diamond during one day without re-charge and I call around 1hr
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kevbodian:
1.09.25.23 seemed to chew battery life. 1.08.25.20 seems better so far. I also changed roms, so it could be related to that (dib 1.28/1.33 to itje's touchit wm6.1 based on 2.03).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peta§:
Thanks for your answers, Pumpiron579 and Warjcowski. I read the thread to fast, missing that the radio wasn't converted. My phone is Security Unlocked and i searched for the thread you was mentioning, Does seem to be worth trying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aklahr:
External antenna?

Just noticed that if I put my phone on top of my closed laptop, the reception signal goes from 2 bars to 4! I believe that the laptop lid is aluminium so must be working as an external antenna somehow.

Which brings me to the point: Does anyone know of any improved antenna for the Diamond? Possibly using the back plate as an antenna?

It is quite cumbersome holding the laptop up to me ear while on the phone :)

Thanks

what's the difference between the official v1.11.25.01 and the one made by Quartz (except the security lock)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chensium:
Installed Quartz version of 1.11.25.01 about a week ago. Had 1.00.25.08 previously so that is all I can compare with.

Battery: about 25% worse (using regular sync schedules on work mail it lasts 1-1.5 days vs 2 days previously).

GPS: works well when it works. Several times it could not get a fix for > 2 mins.

Wifi: More or less the same. Seems to connect faster to wpa2 networks ... though may be psychological.

Data: G about the same. H seems more consistent than before.

Voice: Good quality. But incoming calls getting ignored. A previous post mentioned this also, saying incoming calls go directly to voicemail. This occurs for me about 50% of the time, possibly more. Calls seem to go through only after they send me a txt or some data connection is made.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BB88:
I just tried to flash from 1.00.25.06 to v1.08.25.20. The "E" (EDGE) icon disappeared (cannot connect?). In general, my signal strength seems to be weaker as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chgrbt:
I just flashed to 1.08.25.20...so far so good (RSSI -88dbm in house). RSSI was -86dbm in same location on Radio 1.00.25.08.

I'm going to monitor battery use through today.

I'm assuming certain radios will do better than others on Roger's...some radios that do well on other carriers may not do well here. IMHO, it's not likely that there is a "best" radio for every carrier in the world.

BB88, you said the edge icon is disappeared...is the "G" icon there instead or you have nothing at all shoing in that space on the taskbar?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BB88:
No, there is no "G" icon neither. It was replaced by a "no connection" or "disconnected" icon. When I switched on 3G, the 3G icon will appears though. BTW, is your phone from Rogers? What is the radio shipped with it?

I have no flashed it to 1.00.25.05, and the "E" icon is back. My phone shipped with 1.00.25.06, but I felt that sometimes the phone gets hot, so I wanted to try other radio.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chgrbt:
My phone is the P3700 (asian or european...not sure). It's not NA version, not from Roger's and not 3G (850 band) capable.

Phone came with 1.00.25.05 but I upgraded to and have been happy with 1.00.25.08...good reception in most situations... basements, elevators, car, etc and consistent wifi. Also...battery lasts me almost 2 days with bluetooth on, 2-3 5 minute calls and a dozen or so text messages (but no wifi).

Radio: 1.12.25.16 (SU)

GPS

: I have to concur regarding the improvements with GPS signal accuracy and for me is the least laggy of all the Radios tried.

Small Issue

: with this Radio, can not see the bars of signal in Tomtom but it is working and recieving the signal. Could be a ROM thing, who knows. No biggy, happy with the results.

Sound Quality

: Great (one of the best for me)

Battery is still under scrutiny and will update soon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gabrieledj:
It is true band 27...I can not see the bars of gps signal too, but it isn't a problem....

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] max_carpenter:
Hi all,

I am mainly at two locations,

1: My home town which has bad signal only GPRS internet no 3G or anything and even at certain areas th signal is very low

2: My work place (a different town) which has a fairly good signal and before I did any upgrading (was on t-mobile rom not sure what radio) I got a half strenght HSPDA at times and if not a full 3G signal.

Since I have upgraded I can't seem to get a HSPDA signal for more then 30 seconds and even then its one bar. It may just need time for the new radio to settle down but I have been downloading every single radio and using the field test, If I posted the results on here could someone please indicate which is giving me the strongest best signal, I am not worried about Battery life I have a charger everywhere anyway but I want the strongest fastest phone/internet signal I can get and I also use GPS on occasions and bluetooth in the car.

If you can let me know then I will post all the results, only got 4 more radios to test.

Regards,

Max
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] max_carpenter:
Right, I am only going to test the radios at my workplace as that is where I started and the results vary ALOT from home to work because of the different signal strength. What I did notice is I used to get a half strength HSPDA signal at work now I don't get any but what I did is turn the field test on when I got in the car for my ride home and I watched it on the way home and about 4 or 5 times it did switch to HSPDA signal and at times half signal but what the Field test showed I am not sure if that is correct. I can't remember all the values but is this enough information to say something is wrong or not:

Ban: 255 Unknown

Channel In Use: 255 Unknown

RSSI 1: 255dbm (yes there was no minus in front of it which I thought was odd)

Also when testing at work the NCell Info1 through to 6 call had data but now I am at home I have the following:

NCell Info1: 699 -95dbm

NCell Info2: 607 -102dbm

Ncell Info3: 581 -104dbm

Ncell Info4: 0 0dbm

NCell Info5: 0 0dbm

NCell Info6: 0 0dbm

Band: 1: DCS

Channel In Use: 1:CCH

RSSI 1: -90dbm

One last thing there is a spot on my journey home that everyone says is a dead spot noone gets a signal but on both my new MDA Compact 5 and my old Vario 2 both got a half strength GPRS signal it now dies and has a RSSI 1 of 120dbm

Forgot to mention here is my current Rom/Radio Config:
