I put it right know.

Radio 3.45.25.22 with UDK 6.1.

Still working :) at least I can make a call.

I think the GPS it's not so good but still trying.

Who test this radio?

LE : It's seems the GPS it's also ~ the same...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hermes77:
i ve got this radio

the sensitivity is the same here

i do not see ( or ear) any improvment with this firmware update

i use the asia rom on orange france network

all the bts are still around -90 to -100 db
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shuflie:
I'm using this with Shadowline's 6.5 WMBlue rom and the combination of the two are working great, battery drain seems to be similar to the stock ROM, 5:39 standby + 1 minue call + 1:24 usage and still showing 7 bars in the stock battery information screen. Not sure if its the radio, rom or the fact that he hasn't put a fancy battery meter in but this is the best 6.5 rom for battery so far for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
I've tried the 3.44.25.27 radio with my stock WM6.1 NLD ROM and found no improvement at all, unfortunately. I am now trying the 3.45.25.22 radio, which seems a little bit better.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tatsch:
Please give a feedback after couple of days, thx :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pauln:
I put it yesterday. It seems the GSM radio it's better, signal and quality.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tatsch:
Thx. Better than 3.44.25.27 or better than stock radio?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pauln:
Comparing with 3.44.25.27 of course :)

The stock radio have poor quality.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
Well, after a day of use I think there is a very small improvement with radio 3.45.25.22 compared to 3.44.25.27 and 3.43.25.19. I'm still hoping for a radio with a big improvement... :(

..why? Whats the real problem with the other radios???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] c_zal:
My Topaz came with 3.44.25.27 radio, got only one bar inside the house. Tested with nokia phone got more than 50% signal. :confused:

Now upgrading to 3.45.25.22 but doesn't seem to show any improvement over the old radio. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zukers:
where I find any instruction about radio upgrade procedure?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
It is the same procedure than upgrading a ROM.

You either use CustomRUU (see this thread) or you upgrade with your SD card (see this thread).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] udK:
Would be nice to check before posting something, 3.45.25.22 from AT&T and 3.45.25.22 from HTC are exactly the same radio, what are the differences between these Radio? Maybe you can explain the differences to everyone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tom_codon:
Well . don't see diffirent yet , but i got from other Roms , one from AT&T with rilphone.dll should support canada services. That why i posted two version for peoples select.

Any problem ?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shawchyn:

:(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PhilipL:
Hi

It depends on how the signal meter is set, is half the signal strength on the Nokia really half the signal? Are you comparing like for like, i.e. 3G and 3G on the same mobile network?

What matters is does the Topaz work in the same places as the Nokia. I'd agree it was worse reception if the Nokia worked but the Topaz didn't at the same spot in your house on a like for like comparison, but just going by a visual graphic to decide which is has the best signal strength is not conclusive.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] c_zal:
Phil, I know my test is not that conclusive that is why I use percentage as a reference. I know some maybe reluctant to admit that Htc radio isn't that good in low signal area. I did test on the same 3G network (the same sim card infact) and the nokia shows a better reception where as Diamond 2 shows only one bar with intermittent loss of signal. Proof enough for me....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blankcn:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Atomickitten:
Radio version v3.45.25.22, I use to get signal at the basement of my work place with normal phones, now there's no signal under there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jk34:
Very good!Thanks!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lukescerri:
I was running 3.43.25.19. I Upgraded to v3.45.25.22 last night, and at this stage it seems like there is an improvement in signal strength.

With 3.43.25.19 I would loose my 3G signal frequently. The phone would then go into a "limbo" state where it could not make or recieve calls.

Looks better at this point. No issue so far.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fyall:
I upgraded to v3.45.25.22 and it would appear my battery life is much improved and the signal strength is marginally better.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] udK:
You are totally confused about Radio and rilphone.dll, you should learn about, btw, do whatever you want, isn't a my problem.

download first ,ths very much ,maybe this one will do a good work.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ljankok:
downloaded and flashed now I will check battery life :)

btw to flash this radio, rename the nbh to topaimg.nbh and then shut off your topaz. Then with the volume down key pressed turn your topaz back again.. and follow the instructions.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pauln:
Just like you are flashing a ROM :)

No improvement in reception for me with this latest ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
No special instructions needed. Just run the updater and go, like any other (radio) rom.

BTW, no improvement compared to the 3.45 version, unfortunately. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Same here, see no improvement for the phone. Battery drain still to be checked.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fyall:
upgraded to v3.46.25.18 and I see possible small improvement in signal but battery life is getting better with every update.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] le saint:
The same for me...

No change with this new ROM... Unfortunatly, 'cause it is the only problem I have !... I would like to have a better performance of the radio ! But how, except waiting for the ultimate rom ?... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Virtualizer:
3.46.25.18

after one day of testing i can say that there is a much higher battery drain than with the 3.45.25.22 radio. it is getting really hot too by using the phone function. gps lag is also slightly higher. in 8 hours i got a 40% battery drop. in the same conditions with 3.45.25.22 i got only a 10% battery drop.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pauln:
the wifi connection it'S MUCH BETTER comparing with the first rom

right know it's almost like on my laptop

the power drain it's aprox. the same like my old cruise you can use the phone 2-3h speak30min at leat and stand by more than 16h.

i use extreme v4 with wm6.1 and work well and fast enouth.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 37cafe:
keep it up,thx...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shawchyn:
Battery usages seem to be higher

with the latest radio, it seem to be drain the battery more faster compare to the previous radio.

I am not sure it is due to the new ROM or the new Radio, coz I flash it both all together.

Maybe later i will revert it back to previous radio and see how it perform over this weekend.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] orouborus:
using 3.46

havent noticed any changes yet. :D i think battery life is slightly better. hoping the reception would improve. sometimes im losing signal when im in the office. :D i hope it wont happen again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alx37:
3.46.25.18 compared to 3.43.25.19DE, testing 2 days so far:

+ battery life

+ slightly better general reception (3G)

++ better 3G reception esp. in weak coverage

++++ way better GPS indoor reception

ALexander
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] real187:
im using 3.46

battery drains faster. thought first it was the rom, but its not.

signal is ok.

GPS reception indoors (car) to get gps lock takes much longen than 3.45

now back on 3.45. and it seems normal again!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mr Anderson:
I'm suffering mysterious battery drain too - 80% down to 22% overnight.

This 3.46 radio seems the likely culprit, so I'll revert to v3.45.25.22 and see if battery life stabilises.

[EDIT] Nope, even on 3.45 I have one mega-ugly battery problem somewhere...100% to 11% this morning. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Reason4444:
I'm back to 3.45 too..

Because of losing GSM signal frequently.. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MDGeist:
sooo, i've been testing the 3.46 radio for the last 4 days and this is one weird radio rom...

if you're on 3G or using WiFi a lot and dont care about battery life, 3.46 is for you... reception on german 3g network (o2) has gone from 1 bar to 2 bars in areas with bad reception and from 3 to 4 bars in areas with good reception (speaking in numbers, downstream got up to 90KB/sec from 35KB/sec in areas with bad reception and up to 230KB/sec from 150KB/sec while on good reception)...

now for the downside, battery life is like *yuck*, got cut in half updating from 3.45 to 3.46, which means i got about 16 hours on standby (!), max 2 hours during a call, also GSM reception is kinda f'd, i get 3 or 4 bars nearly everywhere i go, but signal gets lost about every 15 mins, very annoying...

hope this helps ^^
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ottoben:
The statements of MDGeist are exactly what I experienced with the german E-Plus network. E-Plus has a not so good G3 coverage in my city, so first I was happy because the phone stayed on G3 in areas where it didn´t before.

But then I experienced the battery drain (OMG!) and the strange GSM behaviour. So for me too it´s back to 3.45

GPS

Dear All!

I was changed my phone ROM to Topaz ESSentiaL v1.4 , and the Radio ROM to v3.46.25.18 and after that the GPS not works, not found any sattelite.

I tried to use the v3.45.25.22 radio version too, but the problem is the same.

Please help me!

Use another ROM. I have 3.46 and the GPS works. I use xtreme v4.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Jody_Barford:
I am suffering with a similar issue. I installed udk wm 6.5 ROM and the 3.46 Radio ROM (from the stock Radio ROM), overnight my battery has gone from 100% down to 40%.

Switched to the 3.45 Radio and still just as bad.

Did you ever get to the bottom of it? Perhaps windows mobile 6.5 that's the problem? I have poor reception at home which a friend says maybe the issue.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ottoben:
I can tell you what worked for me:

1. Flash the radio (3.45!)

2. Flash the udK 6.5 ROM

3. Do a hard reset

4. Charge the phone (with the charger) to a full 100%

So in your case, since you flashed the Radio last, flash the ROM again and then continue with steps 3. and 4.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Jody_Barford:
Brilliant, thanks for the detailed instructions - I've done that now so I'll have to see how we go over the next couple of days. fingers crossed.

I think my problem may relate to the removal of Opera push internet using the cab from this thread.

Phone has been stable all day today too. :)

3.46.25.18 problem

Hi 2 all!

I am using the radio 3.46.25 and noticed the following problem:

After dropping the call the reception gets lost for 1 or 2 seconds (you can see it at the icons - Just like when you set the phone into flight mode..)

After a short time the reception is back again. Anyone else noticed this phaenomen?

**Is there any way to find out what the stock radio was? i thought i wrote it down but i didnt.**

I am some days now on the 3.46.25.18 Radio ROM here in Japan and I have to say its perfect for me. Best performance, no problem with battery and GPS works great.

Maybe the different Radio ROM's show different performance in different regions. 3.46.25.18 is best for me on 3G here in Japan

3.46.25.18 working great in Hong kong

I would have to say I was expecting to reinstall the previous rom after so many people having trouble with the latest Radio Rom. But in my case its working great, longer battery life, good GPS and I'm using GPRS without any drops or troubles. Maybe it has to do with the windows rom you have installed

I'm using Topaz ESSential 1.4 *WM6.1 , I could be wrong but I'm just saying.

before, I had stock rom and 1.44 radio, it was working about the same quality with longer battery life...

couldnt be bothered changing it back, so, I guess i just wait for the next one coming out...

This is good enough for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] root beer:
I have now tried all the roms (6.1 & 6.5) with the radio version 3.46.25.18 and It is still terrible.

It's broken as it just won't keep a lock on to a H signal constantly, every now and again it stop and search for a signal. This does not occur with any of the other radios so I hope they can fix the problem with a new version.

Until then it's back to the older version :(

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sualc:
Not only GSM, if you tap on Group sotkey you'll get many more info on 3G,GPRS,WCDMA etc.Anyway this test is only for the "phone" module.As far as I know there is not (yet?) a full comprehensive radio test/benchmark app around..nice idea for a goodwilling programmer here:rolleyes:

Until we find it, I suggest you to use specific apps for each module of the radio you want to test.Here's what I use :

-GPS-->HTC GPS Tools (you can reset gps memory and see how much time it takes to get a warm start)

-Wifi-->Wififofum2 (get signal strenght, but many other apps do the same)

Phone-->this app

Then you could rate each test and make an average score
