Hmm, 30% drain over seven hours? By chance, you wouldn't happen to be in an area with low signal strength, would you? I was informed that when cell phones have trouble picking up signals, they compensate by using more power (which seems to be true. I myself lost 30-40% after seven hours today in a low signal facility).

Anyway, my suggestion is to simply try other radios until you find one that works in your area. I myself was using radio 1.11.25.01 (it worked pretty nicely) before switching to 1.12.25.19, so you might want to give that a try next. If your phone is security unlocked, you might also want to try that Blackstone radio another user mentioned previously.

:confused:

Really? That's strange. I don't see why changing radios would change the way Tomtom display streets/status. I also use Tomtom 7 and changing radios didn't have any effect on it other than allowing faster GPS locks.

I'm sorry to hear that. You can continue to try other radios hoping for better results. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LBCta:
I upgraded my radio after reading this and you are absolutely right. GPS is finally working like it should be and the battery life is definitely better.

Thanks everybody for the helpful comments and posting links to the radio and the noob rom/radio flashing threads, they helped a lot! Great thread 8525!

Same here- no bars, but working and getting lock just fine.

Also installed iGuidance 2009, subjectively, IMHO, there is less picture position delay than with TT 7.

Love this ROM/radio combination!:cool:

I installed this Radio few minutes ago. Now I'm starting to testing ... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] frav:
I've been testing it for 2 days (France - Orange).

Here is my feedback :

(Previous radio : 1.02.25.19)

- Sound quality is better.

- No more call drops.

- Signal strength : 3 to 5 bars where I used to have 1 to 3 bars.

- HSDPA : a bit faster (900K => 1000/1100K)

- GPS locks faster.

- Tomtom 7 no longer shows satellites in the GPS Status Screen (and bars on 1st screen). But navigation works well (a bit slower ?).

- HTC GPS Tool shows satellites in the GPS Status Screen...

- After flashing : lost the data configuration : had to rerun the "connexion configuration tool" and soft reset. Worked after that.

- Significant battery drain : 50% in 4 hours. :mad: (need to run some more tests).

Silly question

Hello all,

I use ROMeOS 1.90.2 with radio 1.02.25.28 but I have done the rilphone3.dll trick and now I can use AGPS (which is disconnecting the GPS every 10 seconds without the rilphone3.dll trick)

Now I'd like to try the 1.12.25.19 radio but I see it comes with a rilphone2.dll, so can I keep my registry at the "3" version or must I change to the "2" ?

Thanks a lot
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kazucata:
thanks

i really like this rom is the best good gps signal and better audio quality. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raevmi:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jchuillier:
You guys should try iGO, it's SOOOO much better than tomtom, software, maps...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] majkeljj:
ok. quick review:

- much more better signal strenght. with Radio ..19I have EDGE at work, now 3G

- better phone audio

- GPS fix much faster, but with GPS tuner works much worser than Radio ...19 (it lost speed (km/h) every 10 sec.)

- much higher battery drain
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jchuillier:
The GPS disconnect problem is somtimes caused by AGPS, disable AGPS and try again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] majkeljj:
how can I disable AGPS?

I try use rilphone3.dll, I think that it works but I will test GPS later. You have to have installed sdkcerts.cab (I think that ROMeOS 1.90.2 has installed sdkcerts, but not sure, I use stock rom).

I follow instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=481026&page=4
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jchuillier:
to disable agps settings, agps, disable.

This one is easy...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] majkeljj:
I don't have AGPS option in Settings (in every tabs)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] corneliusm:
I just flashed the other day, and I've been happy so far.

+AGPS appears to be working- I get a lock from inside my house. Much, much quicker than before.

+Previously, my house itself was a 3G deadzone- I had to walk outside to get HDSPA to work. Now I get two bars of HDSPA in my living room (center of my house). Not bad.

+Battery life is much improved. Before flashing, I had to turn off bluetooth and wifi, use my phone very sparingly at work (I keep forgetting to bring my charger), and even then my phone will be at 75% when I get home. Now, I keep bluetooth on all day and my phone was at 93% when I got home last night.

+Haven't had a single dropped call since. This used to be a common occurrence.

The only radio I have to compare this against was the stock ATT radio (I got this phone last fall and haven't upgraded the radio since), but it's like night and day.

Someday, when I security unlock this, I may try out the blackstone radios that people have been raving about. But so far I'm very happy with this.

After flashing over the weekend I used the Fuze at work for a couple of days. The first thing I noticed was much better signal quality at my desk. I do have a window seat at work.

Before the new radio I notice during phone calls a lot of "white" noise and it sounded as if the phone was either switching sites or channels. Now it is solid.

In my shop which is on the other side of the complex where I work I have had problems with both the Fuze and my IPHONE. From inside the shop I don't have direct line of site to an ATT site. With the new radio calls are solid. 2 or 3 bars. No "white" noise.

The new radio looks great.:)

Well, 1.12.25.19 was a bust for me. Reception no better and GPS was a disaster. I could never get a lock even after 20 minutes outside under a clear sky. Had to go back to 1.02.25.32.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] websterjody:
I have been searching but I can not seem to find the answer. I have a stock AT&T Fuze and I can not get the rilphone.dll for 1.12.25.19 to work. I have renamed it to rilphone2.dll and made the registry change but after a soft reset the radio will not turn on. What am I doing wrong? It sounds like others with a stock Fuze are not having issues using the rilphone for this new radio. Am I supposed to do the NG.exe patch thing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ArmyDoc:
Hi,

I was having the same trouble as some other folks w/ the new radio. It definitely was better c GPS than the stock ATT Fuze radio (though I had flashed NATF ROM over X-mas), the 3G strength seemed better and data rates faster (via DSL Reports). However, the phone would heat up ALOT in low signal areas and my battery would not survive a day. I used the new radio for about 5 days then started flashing ALL of them. None really seemed any better and most (particularly "generic" HTC radios) worse. So I decided to reflash the radio and copy over the rilphone. I couldn't get it to work as the radio was "offline". I search for the "rilphone" threads and then downloaded a 2 cab files--SDK Certs and "Rilphone3.dll". After loading them both, reseting, then changing the registry as described in the rilphone thread, and reseting again (these are all soft resets btw), poof it worked. Today was first day w/ the new radio and its corresponding rilphone file and in my opinion its better--at least the battery drain issue is GONE. Granted it drains a bit more than the old radio, but not anywhere like the same radio w/ the older rilphone. Not sure why, but it just seems better. will test more over next few days and see if the battery life and other perceived benefits hold true.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] websterjody:
armydoc,

The rilphone3.dll worked for me. I had already installed sdkcerts a while ago for something else. The rilphone3.dll was all I needed.

Thanks!

Radio virgin finds success...

First timer here, dug around some threads and found all I needed. Flashed hard-spl and then ran RaphaelWrapper. All seemed to go well and I now have 1.12.25.19. I have not done anything with rilphone2.dll, I'm hoping the installation software took care of that?

Initial impressions. First lock in TomTom, slightly less than 2 minutes where it might have been up to 12 minutes with the stock radio. Subsequent locks in TT and Google Maps in a few seconds. Yes, I do now actually lock 6' from a window indoors! I have not tested voice yet and am hoping that battery life is not an issue. Overall reception (# of bars) seems about the same to maybe slightly better, the jury is still out.

Question for those who have upgraded. Are you now running with agps enabled?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Good luck!

I have it enabled. Many seems to say to leave it disabled because it actually doesn't work well, which I believe is the case unless you modify it. I have the RRE V5.8 rom (which does exactly that), so since you're using the stock rom, you might want to consider leaving it off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ZebProctor:
WOW!!!! Thanks to the forum members that helped me install and especially thanks to the individuals that put their time and effort into creating these Radio ROM's!! This radio is freaking awesome!!

I never really had a signal problem at my house, always had 2-3 bars, but now I'm looking at my phone in a few rooms and I see all 5 bars! And the GPS, how do I praise the GPS enough? Before I would wait 5-10 minutes for a lock, OUTSIDE, and inside? HA, don't even think about it! Now I can get a lock, INSIDE, in under 5 seconds.... if someone had told me it would be THIS good, I would have bet them money that it wasn't, but after seeing it for my own eyes.... yea... WOW.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
The ability to lock indoors is truely amazing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
Lock times seem to vary widely... sometimes lightening fast, sometimes pretty slow. It might help to know what registry settings (for gps lag) and roms people are running.

I am running the stock att rom, poll interval 500sm, input/output buffers both 512k and sleep on nodata 1000ms.

WHOOPS! I almost forgot AGPS! I have not seen any advantage to turning it on.

Second Edit: TomTom now not showing any sats or bars when it locks.

GPS is now working better than ever for me

I am using 1.12.25.19 radio with the ProVEN rom on my O2 branded Serra

I start GPS test and start acquiring sats, then start iGo 8.0 and by the time the software is loaded I have a lock. Using com 4 and auto baud rate

I have quickGPS installed and that updates looks after itself

I see a bit of lag when driving but I am not sure whether it is better or worse than my old wizard + bluetooth GPS combo.

With this radio I've seen a dramatic improvement in GPS lock times, but I've also seen a dramatic decrease in my battery life. I'm on AT&T and still using NATF's v2.2 rom. I used to get close to 2 days of battery life and immediately after installing this radio, I can't even go 7 hours without charging. It's just dropped 15% over about an hour and I haven't even used the device at all. Anyone have any idea why some of us can have such different experiences with battery life? Would a newer rilphone.dll help?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
For me, I was upgrading my FUZE from the stock ATT Radio and keeping the stock ROM.

Here's what I did:

1. extract the Hard-SPL file to my desktop.

2. connect my FUZE to the pc using usb and allowing the phone to activesync.

3. Ran the RUU for hard spl. When that was complete the phone reboot.

4. Went into bootloader mode by resetting with stylus and holding down volume button to confirm that Hard-SPL worked.

5. Extracted the files from the radio rom to my desktop. Ran Raphaelwrapper.exe and allowed it to go to 100%.

That's it. Worked perfectly.

What I noticed:

1. GPS is much faster. MUCH faster.

2. Data rates are faster.

3. Phone reception seems better and clearer.

Question I have:

1. Do I need to change anything additional for optimal use? Do I need to update the rllphone2.dll file?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Supertrooper:
So far reception much clearer and I went from 2 bars to 3 & 4 bars while inside my house.

Haven't had time to run GPS or check battery yet.

Network, phone and rom in sig.

After a couple days with this radio my battery has shown a very noticeable increase in battery life. Plus, along with upgrading my rom from RRE 4.5 to 5.8 and this new radio, my battery life is excellent. At 2:20 pm and my battery is at 93%. ( unplugged off charger at about 4:00am with moderate use)

AT&T Puerto Rico

Hi.

My provider is AT&T in Puerto Rico, and I have the AT&T fuze with stock Radio v 1.02.25.32, and I have the following questions if I upgrade to Raphael 1.12.25.19 Radio:

1- Will this work that good in Puerto Rico? Can anyone confirm?

2- Will this DRAIN the battery more than using stock 1.02.25.32 ?

3- Will this work in ROM v 1.95.502.5 dated 10/20/08 ?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] IDQ:
GPS and data work great but I have a weird problem and i dont know if it is the new radio or the RRE ROM. Background noises drown out my voice. It is really ridiculous that this thing picks up barely audible background noise and amplifies it. I have auto gain off. Anyone know what might cause this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
I have the exact same setup as you and upgraded to this radio. I've found a signnificant increase in call quality, less dropped calls, muuuuch faster GPS locking and faster data rates.

I do seem to think that this ROM does drain battery a bit faster, but it seems that you may be able to fix this by changing the rilphone.dll file.

Can anyone confirm that on ATT using stock ROM and this radio, that changing the RILPHONE.DLL file makes a difference one way or another?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJKai:
Was on the previous radio which came with the official rom... 1.11 from what i recall. I must say the time it took to lock into satelites with GPS was ridculous but now with radio 1.12.25.19 it is absolutely amazing.

Thanks for the heads up!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vexingv:
can anyone comment on the recent 1.14.25.05 radio? how does it compare to this one? improvements? regressions? etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] maxh:
As I stated before, this radio made GPS a thousand times better, data speeds about the same, but battery life dismal for me. NATF's v2.2 rom, AT&T in Austin, TX. We're talking 7 hrs instead of 30 like it was the day before installing 1.12.25.19. I wondered if having a rilphone.dll from a much older radio was the culprit so I installed the rilphone.dll that corresponds to this radio.

(thread on rilphones)

This did actually improve battery life dramatically, but still nowhere near where it originally was. It's up to 12-13 hrs, now.

So to summarize battery life:

(ROM: NATF v2.2, AT&T, Austin, TX, U.S.)

radio 1.02.25.28 with it's rilphone = ~30 hrs., terrible GPS lock times

radio 1.12.25.19 with old rilphone = 7 hrs., incredible GPS lock times

radio 1.12.25.19 with correct rilphone = 13 hrs., incredible GPS lock times
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
I have not changed the dll file, just ran the wrapper. I see no change in reception or battery life, but the gps now locks indoors.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] atc98092:
Well, I loaded it this morning and all seemed well. I then noticed my Bluetooth wasn't connected. I tried several times to enable Bluetooth, but it wouldn't load. I then change to this (1.12.25.19) radio and all appears well again. I've never been able to get a GPS lock inside my work building, even though I have a window cube. I'll see how it works this afternoon when I go home.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
I can't get a lock at my office either despite an office with large windows. I think the window film is likely metallic.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mcspikesky:
I am using 1.08.25.20M1 with the respective rilphone.dll.

Due to me being in an area with "patchy" GPRS signal coverage I need a connection even if its weak ALL the time. I've tried 1.12.25.19 and found although it has better signal in alot of areas in areas where signal was perviously null 1.08.25.20M1 gets the job done and im treated to 2 bars EASILY. I've tried numerous radios and none have been better.

I do not use GPS enough to have a good scope of accuracy for me but from my experience with Google maps it knows which side of the pavement im walking on.

r 1.14.25.05 best for me

dallas, texas.

AT&T

Energy 2.0

r 1.08.25.20M1 cant lock satelites, but sees them 30sec

r 1.12.25.19 saw 4 satelites in 30 sec but did not make a lock

r 1.14.25.05 saw 6+ satelites in 5 seconds and locked

(these were all from inside a room with windows)

1.14.25.05 was far better then 1.12.25.19 for me in terms of GPS

i didnt have 1.12.25.19 installed long, but i know 1.14.25.05 has a wicked battery life (disabled 3G, low call usage, but high texting, occasional bluetooth activation for activesync, and running SPB mobile shell 3) - lost 15% battery after 12 hrs
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
I flashed this radio yesterday, it was the first time I flashed anything, and of course I was very worried, but all went fine.

For the radio itself, haven't tested any calls yet, but as far as GPS goes, well, before that I had to stop my car and wait around 40 seconds for a lock, sometimes I had to even exit my car, not to mention when I had to soft reset for it to work.

Now it locks easily in 5-10 seconds inside my car, I even tested it while moving and it worked!

Battery seems a little worse though, but I'll see for sure during this week.

Thanks a lot for the heads up!

1.08.25.20M1

Changed soon to this one, after several positive reviews.

Reception: B

Battery: A-

GPS: B+

1.14.25.05

Decided to give the newest radio a try.

Reception: C

Battery: D

GPS: D (did get a lock though, but trees grow faster)

1.12.25.19

Currently in use.

Reception: A- (though, initial connection takes some time and connection seems intermittend at times?)

Battery: C+

GPS: A (avg lock time ~20 sec)

All in all, my favourite is 1.08.25.20M1, but 1.12.25.19 is really nice too.

All radios used with the corrosponding rilphone.

Update:

GPS now works inside my house! That is just amazing!

Battery doesn't seem worse at all, actually it seems to be improved (I had 1.02.25.19 before). I charged it around 20 hours ago, and in the meantime besides normal use I have used Resco Recorder for 30 minutes, sent a few SMS, used GPS for around 10 minutes, and battery is 80% full.

This radio really changed my whole experience with the phone, I was a little worried about flashing for the first time but I highly recommend it, there are some really good guides here at XDADev even for people who have never flashed anything.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Astronout:
Hi,

A: The effects of not having the correct rilphone installed are sometimes very unclear. Some people don't notice it, others do. GPS might fail to lock, or takes a longer time to. There is a possible impact on the battery, as well as on voice quality and reception. Anyhow, it is advised to have the corrosponding rilphone installed.

B: Rapheal. As far as I know, there is no Blackstone radio 1.12.25.19.

C: I'm using iGo 8. The best software is really what you prefer.

You can find all relevant information on radio's here

And info about rilphone here

Just grab the corrosponding cab file for your radio, install it and soft-reset. Done!
