Hello,

I tried some Radio Versions now and I ran into a quite big problem.

Started with 4.49.25.57 and everything seemed to work good.

Then I tried newer versions and yesterday calls weren't working anymore (Just "beep, beep" and nothing; Call canceled and incoming I didn't even notice).

A roll back to *.17 seems to work right now.

Maybe I switched the Version too often and my Provider blockt the phone for "hammering" or s.th. like that?

My Provider: T-Mobile Germany

Could it be connected to the ROM I use? It's Feb7 Energy Leo and my Phone is a MDA Compact V aka Topaz.

The phone was off last night so maybe this was the cure and it would work with newer versions now but I did not try till now.

Maybe s.o. ran into the same problem.

Thanks!

regards,

Gandalf

Radio 4.49.25.91 in Greece

Today i upgraded from 4.49.25.57 to the 4.49.25.91 version, the signal looks good, i passed through a 700 m tunnel without losing connection to the network (usually i was losing it in that place) wifi is working fast and calls till now were without any problem (sometimes with the older roms when the call was lasting more than 5 minutes i had problems -the other side couldn`t hear me after few minutes of normal talk-even if i had 100% signal. with it i dont have any signal problem till now, bluetooth is working perfectly (older versions had random disconnections on sony ericsson bluetooth sets)

By the way i am using Dutty`s Holy Grail 7.2 WWE rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
Tested 4.49.25.91 from 14:00 CET, but on VIPnet network provider, not on my head T-Mobile, on my signature location, and me is same as 4.49.25.57, pretty good, but not yet can say , is it better from 2.49.25.204 (about battery drain,more or less), because to short time i been on it....more feedback tomorrow.

Tested the new 4.49.25.91 for the day, everything looks very good.

a lot of calls, connected to my bluetooth car kit with no problem, wifi works very good, GPS lock was very fast. battery status after all that ~55% (around the numbers i got from older radios).

I'm keeping it for now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] GwynBleidd:
Eastern Europe, Ukraine

4.49.25.91 seems to connect to GPRS way faster compared to anything before including 204.

For me it's as energy efficient as 204, is at least as precise with GPS (maybe better), slightly better with GSM signal, around the same with Wi-Fi, haven't tested bluetooth yet.

Definitely keeping it.

i am trying to pay attention to where you guys are from, and most definitely i dont see any from the USA. I am trying to find a good radio version to use for eastern USA and at&t htc pure cell phone. hardspl 1.83 olinex and stuff like that, i bought the phone as flashed rom and stuff.

are there any recommendation to radio version for my location?

I try to use WCDMA + GSM(1900+850) band for USA AT&T network. it work and it show "H" on top by the signal indicator. using this WCDMA network trying to watch youtube video setting high quality video, the video never load. but using GSM + GSM(1900+850) band i can watch the high quality video but with intermittent buffering, really annoying. but the GSM network show "E" by the signal indicator, i think it mean "EDGE" not 3G like WCDMA and with EDGE i gain 1 more bar of signal than WCDMA.

at&t always compete with verizon over 3G network crap but i am not getting everything out of it.

can anyone help me? thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jngtt:
i currently use the 4.49.25.05 for att on the topaz, so no 3g, its not that bad but the gps sucks, i am going to try the 4.49.25.91, and i will leave my feedback on this one for att users
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] desolateone:
I can only recommend personal testing and evaluation, flashing a new radio will not hard reset your device, all data will remain as is.

Grab a version above your current and test for a week, note what happened and your thoughts.

Then grab the next version above that and keep going until you find one that works well for you in your situation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HammarNet:
Installed the 4.49.25.91 version yesterday

Can't really say I've noticed any differerance whatsoever compared to 2.49.25.204

(Sweden, 3G only)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alhuang69:
I had tried both of them in the last few days, I also can't tell the difference.

One thing I can surely confirm that both of them are much better than 4.49.25.57
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] boomhand103:
I tried 4.49.25.57 and didn't like it. I been using 4.49.25.17 for about 2 weeks and it works better than my wife's stock 4.48.25.20. No 3g in our area. I'm going to flash 4.49.25.91 today.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] honcorrd:
Hi, i try a few radios and non of the with sucessfull conclution, when back to sock one. Then tested 2.49.25.204 and see an improvment in signal quality. im from Puerto Rico and using ATT Pure unlocked with my carrier wish is Claro. Wifi, bluetooth, gps and data works, gps lag a little but at the end connects. I live in a mountainous area so signal is varies greatly depending on my ubication. I know have 4.49.25.91 and dont notice any diference so far. Signal is equal, with stock radio my signal in my home (depending the location where i can get signal) minimun zero bar in some areas, regular 1 and 2 bars, outside 3 bars. With these two radios i get from zero in some areas, regular, from 1 to 3 bars and outside 3 to 4 bars, thats great. In the city i get full bars.

In my town i have Edge, but when travel to another city, 45min from my town i get 3G and works really fast.

So, it a keeper for me both of them.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tainle:
radio 4.49.25.91 give me better signal and able to watch youtube on high quality with any buffer intermittent. i am going to stay with this radio since the 209 is the same ? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] drtolson:
I've been using 4.49.25.91 for a couple of days now.

Definitely faster on GPS fix, especially after it gets a 'first fix', and it seems to be able to retain satellite data through a soft-reset, which earlier radios could not.

3G and H radios seem about normal, call volume and voice are good and clear, respectively.

WiFi seems a bit more sensitive, but not tremendously different from the radio in my sig (i haven't updated yet).

Battery usage seems a bit better -- in that the battery seems to last longer, but I'll give it a longer test over the week.

All in all, seems like a good radio.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sualc:
I returned to the one in my signature, definetly the best for my rom and region. I agree with drtolson, WiFi is not so brilliant, I can't even get full signal sitting 1m away from my modem/router! I also experienced Topaz "forgetting" the WPA key. The rest is ok, but without noticeable improvements.

@drtolson: About the gps remembering sat data, these data are stored in the gps memory, it does not depend on the radio..just to be precise. Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Since yesterday I am convinced that 4.49.25.91 is the best for me.

At one of my customers the meeting rooms are surrounded by metal walls. With all radios I tried up to now I had no signal inside these meeting rooms. Yesterday during a meeting suddenly my phone rung inside this metalic cave.

4.49.25.91 is the best for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PuckX:
I am using 4.49.25.91 it works great in PNW, great signal, great battery life. Very happy with it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sociojeje:
4.49.25.91

I live in Illinois and use AT&T. My rom is TESS LEO IV.

4.49.25.91 works great for me. I got better signal at home where usually 1 or 2 bars but now more than 3.

GPS also works great. First signal took a bit of time in my room. However, once I turn on again, it only took several seconds. Cool.

I'm not really sure about the battery since I haven't used it for long. However, SO FAR SO GOOD!

Yes, software is important.

ps. My first plan was buying iphone 4g. Until than i'll use WM which i've been using for about 7 years. Well, I haven't used android and iphone os. However, I kinda don't give a cold shoulder to my old friend now... Topaz changes everything. Oh well, I should say XDA guys change everything!!

4.49.25.91

I can confirm 4.49.25.91 here in the Netherlands works good.

GPS and GSM reception has improved :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HammarNet:
After a few days of testing, I have noticed a significantly improved 3G reception. In areas where I didn't get a connection at all before I now at least is occasionally connected
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] japester36:
4.49.25.91

Having tested 4.49.25.88 from the Rhodium, I then moved onto 4.49.25.91 and have used it for 3 days. I'm finding it greatly improved over .88, .57, & .17 here in the UK on T-Mob.

GPS is very fast from cold and warm starts plus the 3G seems very robust with better hold on to the signal before reverting to GPRS. I have the impression that battery life has improved slightly too.

I'm finding WiFi to be as good as before on my router and I can still see neighbours' Access Points too.

I will now be moving onto the new WWE Topaz S2 6.5 ROM to see how that improves matters.

Cheers

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] drtolson:
I've returned to the .17 version in my sig, after a couple of days with .91. There did seem to be a slight improvement in cell and wi-fi signal capability, but GPS was taking significantly longer to get a 'first fix' (it was fine once it had it, but...)

And I noticed a couple of times when I couldn't get the cell phone radio to re-initialize/show signal after turning it off to go to wi-fi. It just wouldn't reconnect with the cell network without soft-resetting the phone. A hard reset seemed to fix the problem, but I decided to revert back to a radio that has overall has very good characteristics and has NEVER given me any problem switching on and off.

<Just a note, in case anyone else sees this...>
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tantin75:
3 days since the installation of 4.49.25.91.

The reception, edge or 3g, is sharply better than for 17 or 204.

Not still tested the gps but 204 was faster than 17 for the first fix. I hope that 91 made as well, even better.

I'm in France, near Paris, with Bouygues Telecom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
I'm in NL with telfort and 4.49.25.91 shows the best signal i've seen so far... i tried .13, .17, .57, .204 and .91 and in terms of signal quality and robustness .91 is the best. I also feel like battery drain has improved, but this was happening also with .204.

in the end i think that .204 and .91 are the best radios so far, but i prefer .91, as in my "difficult" place has a better signal.

SOD with the 4.49.25.91

After suffering from a lot of "screens of death" (the device won't power on/work, resetting is the only option) I figured out it was caused by the radio rom of WM6.5. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532906&page=6

I updated to 2.49.25.204. No more SOD's. After updating to 4.49.25.91 (yesterday) they were back again:eek:. So I am reverting to

2.49.25.204.

Testing 4.49.25.91 for a week here in São Paulo/Brazil, GSM and Wi-Fi is good. But I have to say, notice no improvement from 4.49.25.17. The battery drain is likewise for me. I don't use 3g though.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tane71:
Trying .91 since last week (from 4.49.25.57).

No problem at all :

. standard signal radio is stable and strong, 3G appear more often than before

. wifi is equal to .57, no prob at all with downloading and secured wlan

. BT is ok (only used with mono phone headset and sometimes exchange from PC)

. GPS is quite fast and stable - even the 1st fix is fast enough.

I keep it. So far...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alhuang69:
I had used both .97 and 204 Radio for more than a week.

Eventually selected the 204 for my phone.

The reason is comparing with both .97 and 204, their performance are almost the same but the recovery time of 204 is much faster than .97.:D

Yes, I compared with my wife's TD2 which is using .91 and mine is 204 with the same service provider ... we tested in the lift - the signal of both phones were gone but once we stepped out from the lift, my radio came back immediately, my wife's radio returned back in a minute.

I believe that is the difference of the 204 and .91.

4.49.25.17 radio for t5353 clone ???????

HI

I recently bought an htc touch diamond clone with the model name of t5353+

It looses its signal on standby mode with my carrier.

If I change to another carrier , it works.

For economic, and family reasons,(we are four with the same carrier) I would prefer to stay with my present carrier.

I know for sure that the sim of my carrier works with the original htc that uses the Radio 4.49.25.19.

I tried with no avail to introduce the 4.--- radio in my phone.

Now I see that there is a list of three 4.----radios which are apparently for clones.Is this correct??

If so, which of the three should I try to introduce into my phone ??--The "exe",the "rar", or the one described as "no custom Ruu. rar" ??

I would relly appreciate your help and thank you in advance

HENRY
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] drtolson:
I think you might be in the wrong forum... this is for the Touch Diamond 2, known as Topaz, not the original TD.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'clone', but the chances of using an HTC Radio in a non-HTC device are pretty dicey at best.

Separately... .rar is a packaged form of files, similar to .zip. You should buy the RAR extractor, but you can use it most times without purchase. Once you extract, you will either see a .CAB, which you transfer to your device, then double-tap to execute on the device. Otherwise, the package will include typically an application and a .nbh file. You run the application on your PC with your device connected.

.EXE is a file you download to your PC, then run after connecting to your unit via Activesync or Mobile Device Centre.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
As said in the post above, all the Radios in post #1 are for Touch Diamond 2 and might not work on a chinese clone phone. Beside of the hardware, the flashing process for the clone phones is different, so no ROM or Radio from Diamond 2 can be used on them.

Check the threads about chinese clone Topaz here in the forum. Maybe someone there can help you.

did you drain your battery completely at least once (until a warning shows up 'battery is too low. device will now shut off'), then charging till full (green LED) when the phone is off? it may help.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alhuang69:
We are using one2free in Hong Kong and I traveling a lot in Asia. Actually the battery does not bother me, if it can be last from 8am to 10pm - I am fine with it. As I charge my phone every night when I get back to my hotel during my trip or return back home.

Somebody does very concern the battery life and cares the charging time but not with me at all. A new battery costs just around USD15.- what should I concern???

The most important is to have good and strong radio signal every where.
