What you're replying is demoralizing.

I was asking if there's any difference between the radio ROMs and you're telling me I shouldn't conern about it.

Why the hack should I get an extra battery and bring it in my pocket all times when a good radio ROM can serve me for one whole day?

Yes, you're right about looking for the best reception, but IMO most people would prefer a good balance between battery life and performance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Cir0w:
The 4.49.25.17 version works excellent in Sweden.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
well, believe it or not, calibrating battery DOES have effect on lengthening the battery hours to some extent. that, of course, if you can take my experience into account.

Feedback from India for 4.49.25.91

Hi All,

I am using this version of RADIO (Signed) that comes with this Stock ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629652).

- GSM Signal is good, better than my OLD Radio 4.49.25.57 that comes with HTC India Stock ROM.

- No 3G from my Service Provider, So NO Feedback in this area.

- Voice Clarity is good.

- Batery life is same as .57.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
What is Radio ROM version 4.49.25.91_2 included in Duttys newest HG10 release ? Is it new radio ROM, or only second version (maybe some bugfixed) same early version from Stock ROM ?

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
ask Dutty himself?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
I suppose he have no time, so much coocking ROMs for TD2 , HD2, and oder devices...I think BeeGee_Tokyo will explore it soon :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:

Already extracted the radio ROM. Will put it on my mirror, if someone has time to test, please give feedback here.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone on Vodafone in the UK has tried any of these radios? If so which one would you reccomend?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Faramarzfa:
i have a problem

when i download any of this radios my anti virus found them as trojan,,,plz help me or send me a link for a clean radio..

i have a problem with my location service and my friends told me to change my radio.plz help me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
All radios are clean. You are getting a false warning about CustomRUU.exe.

Like for HardSPL, switch off your AV while downloading. Even better, include CustomRUU into the exception list of your AV.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Faramarzfa:
thanks dear,,

and i have another question u know...i want to change my radio because i have a probelm with my location service and google map service,,both of them dont work for me...

in your idea ,if i change my radio these problems are solve?

and which radio is the best in your idea?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Usually problems with location service and google map are not related to the radio, but to the ROM, location you are, provider.

Did you try to get your position by GPS instead of using only the phone connection? Maybe your phone provider doesn't send necessary information to your phone. Did you try different ROMs and have always the same problems?

I went thru all the radio ROMs listed in post#1 and I saw only improvements. At the moment I am on version 4.49.25.91 and I am happy with it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Faramarzfa:
thanks dear..

i use so many roms,,,Nhathoa Roms Dutty Roms and also official sense 2,1 rom,,,i have this problem sincce i flash my rom with new 2.53 rom in htc pedia..they mention there that this rom is official sense 2,5 rom for topaz..after i flash my rom i had battery drain because of that i flashed my rom again with official sense 2.1 rom from htc site at first i think that its relate to the rom after that i flashed with dutty R10 and Nhathoa 26th of feb rom...also in these roms my location service and google map dont work for me.:(...plz help me...what can i do..iam know downloading 4.49.25.91..help me plz and also i use my gps service and its work only my location and google map dont work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Not much ideas then.

Is your internet connection setup and working?

Local settings pointing to your country?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Stasuk:
Have about 2 weeks good experience in 4.49.25.91 in Israel. Good signal quality, little bit more battery time and my device much less heat during a call.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
I was using both of these (and also older 4.49.25.xx versions)

from my point of view, best Radio currently is 2.49.25.204.

4.49.25.91 is more accurate in GPS, but seems to drain more battery while phone is in standby. BTW, I have 3G always on (but disconnected data)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Tried the 4.49.25.91_2 for 2 days now and I didn't see any difference to 4.49.25.91.

On bootscreen it shows 4.49.25.91, no additional _2

Maybe the _2 in Duttys ROM name has another meaning.

I will not list this Radio in post#1 as it seems to be the same like 4.49.25.91
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Claus72:
I have noticed the same thing.

The gps reception and 3g reception is more accurate but seems to drain more battery while phone is in standby.

Another thing is that it takes from 7% to 10% of the battery to make a reset. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
BeeGee_Tokyo, thank you for your exploring about Duttys Radio ROM and answer what is his Radio ROM...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nhathoa:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] GiiMmELuB:
and i have had the opposite experience with regards to gps accuracy w/ radio 4.49.25.91. used it today w/ google maps and it told me that i was 2 block away from where i actually was.

i have had the same battery issues.

going to try 2.49.25.204 next :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ADeadlySpoon:
This is what I'm currently using and I noticed the signal is much improved but the QUALITY of the signal has gotten worse. (Intermittent connection mainly, it shows I still have signal but web browsing ad Messenger have both gotten slower/got more disconnects since using this radio.)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Yea same here: 4.49.25.91

I got it without thinking by trying one of the later official builds. I'm finding that my data connection frequently drops off and wigs out Google maps while driving around. Also I'm getting more frequent call drops. It also appears to not get as good as reception in my house then my prior radio version (which I forget which one it was).

I didn't have a problem with GPS on the 25.91... seems to connect rather quickly and accurately.

I am also seeing heavy battery drainage, which might be the rom it came with... as I am using it as a base in my kitchen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Have to correct my post.

There is a difference in the protocol version.

The 4.49.25.91 says 61.44.tc25.32U

the 4.49.25.91_2 says 61.44.etc25.35U

Anybody has an idea what it means?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
Something me not clear...I have Radio ROM from Stock (Official 2.53 European) ROM 21887, and it have protocol signature same like Duttys radio ROM: 61.44.etc25.35U :confused:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crypted:
Installed 4.49.25.91, No 3G now?

I just did my first flash of RADIO and ROM on my HTC Pure. Was a great experience thus far.

However, the Edge connection is all that 4.49.25.91 is allowing. It's strong as can be, so that's nice.

But, my area has strong 3G signals as well on the stock RADIO. How can I get this radio to obtain 3G, and if it won't do it, what should I do to change to a capable/stable RADIO?

Don't want to do something to lose the setup of this new ROM...

AT&T Pure & T-mobile w/ 4.49.25.91

Guys, I have AT&T Pure and T-mobile connection in Eastern US...i've been tempted to try 4.49.25.91 ... I get only Edge & no-3g (hardware limitation)..is there any1 on a simlar combo and give me feedback on 4.49.25.91
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
If you will one ROM with UMTS-3G on 850 and 1900 MHz (which band use in USA), i can you recommended Pisca 23529 build, based on T-Mobile USA ROM, or any T-Mobile US build ROM...search on our Topaz forum or BeeGee_Tokyo mirror sites.

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mafioso:
You mean I can get T-mobile 3G on my pure...that's unbelievable...i always thought I'm limited by hardware :eek:

But I couldn't find any Radio ROM 23529 on this forum ... there is windows ROM versioned 23529 but I doubt it will help :confused: or did u mean ver. Radio ROM ver 2.49.25.204 ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
there's no such thing as radio ROM 23529, what he meant is ROM version 23529.

yes, try radio ROM v2.49.25.204 will you?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
BumAround is right. Try one of the ROM's based on AT&T ROM and then try radios. I am not sure if it is a hardware limitation or depending on ROM/Radio combination.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mafioso:
wow...i always used to think it was hardware..

I'll give it try from my next billing cycle (which start at start of next month) when my Data plan gets activated...

in the Meanwhile, i had installed..4.49.25.91, GSM signal I felt has improved...but i'm not so sure about GPS reception, it seems to have become less...but it could co-incidental as haven't tested much..

I am about to flash a radio rom along either duttys or Energys rom and wanted to know what the best pairing of radio for USA users.

ive been browsing through the thread and its looking like .91, .57, and .204 are the best candidates.

I use the phone heavily for calls, 3g and gps.

can anyone shed some light on this? and even which one is more stable?

thanks

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
please try em one by one and find out which is the best suited for your use. I'd suggest either .91 or .204.

man, do you know about Greece which Radio is better?

thank you...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] DaBountyHunter:
Been using the new .31 radio for awhile now in London on O2 and have to say it's worse than .21 and .13 ... loses connection after checking email in outlook and at times just keeps dropping to GSM. Fail! Think I'll have to try a better radio for UK.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Sorry, no recommendation for Greece. You have to find out by trying.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] varitimos84:
ok man....thank you....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
can report significant battery improvement and overall reception improved since 4.x radio. .31 radio seems to be bit more stable then .21. reception status bar still shows less bars then my "old" Cruise, but I ‘cant say that there is some places were Cruise works, and Dimond2 not. Official RUS rom, Russia St.Petersburg.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] s2t2s:
Hello. I use the latest radio posted in this thread (4.47.25.31.). For me this is the best radio i have tried. Battery life seems to be almost 2 times better, wifi signal is stronger and i can see more hot spots or wireless adapters in the same locations i used the stock radio (V3.43.25.19). Gps locks VERY fast. Gsm signal is about the same or a little better but i am not sure.

These are the device stats with the first charge with the latest radio:

standby: 79h 3m

talk: 12m

usage: 4h 38m

These stats were taken with battery level at 5%.

I have the stock rom: 1.39.405.2 (47382) wwe, I m from Greece, and i am on Vodafone.

I am currently on my third full charge with this radio and i the battery level is at 35% with:

42h 25m standby,

13m talk,

3h 14m device usage.

Device usage is: wifi for internet browsing, some games (not 3d), photo and some video viewing as well as some mp3.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] akirius:
I implemented a radio rom test tool

It will pull data every 0.5 seconds for from the point when user hit start to the point when user hit stop. The data will be saved to data.txt in root directory, and is listed in the following format

Cellar System Available------Cellular System Connected------Signal Strength(percent)------Signal Strength RAW(percent)

for more information regarding cellular system, see this page...http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/jimw/archive/2007/04/20/46866.aspx

This is an sample output over 2seconds.

8	0	30	46

8	0	30	46

8	0	60	74

8	0	60	74

From what I can tell, 30 percent is about 1 bars, 60 percent is about two bars

Remeber if you want to use this tool to test the connection, you should stay at same place and run this for at least an hour or two to get enough sampling point. You should be able to plug this right into excel and do data analysis

*Note: you can run this in your background

This is more or less just a test of concept, so the program is really simple with no user interface...but it should work, so give it a try

I will add additional functionality as well as user interface if this tool has proven to be useful
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Nice, I give it a try. About available and connected, these are bitmask, but which bit is what?

1XRTT - CSD - EDGE - 1XEVDO - EVDV - GPRS - HSDPA - UMTS

Bit 0 - Bit 1 - Bit 2 - Bit 3 - Bit 4 - Bit 5 - Bit 6 - Bit 7

??????

It is not very clear on the website you mentioned.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] katsj:
I also use the latest version. I live in Larisa. But for a long time now I switched my phone permanently to GSM. Only when I need to try a 3G call or serf the net through 3G I turn 3G on. Since that I never had any problem with the phone's reception.

In my opinion the 3G network of all companies here in Greece is CRAP!!! Its not our Topaz's fault at least not only! I have the same problems with 3G connection with my Nokia too. Everybody in this thread seems to believe Nokias are better on 3G Reception. Have you ever tried to make a 3G call at the same time next to a Nokia with your Topaz? I did!!! Nokia's video frame rate was so awful compared to Topaz!

So I am 100% pleased with my Topaz (and Tess's stable ROMS) that it will take a really long time to change my Topaz for a new one! What we SHOULD do is demand better reception from our telecoms and not from HTC. HTC will release a ROM that will be a lot better than the first ROM but without a good network will never be enough!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Hyena:
Just for your statistics:

In Hungary with my service provider, the 4.47.25.31 radio works great (with TESS 2.2 Rom), i think the GPS slightly better than the 4.47.25.21.

After i flashed my phone a few times (mostly with TESS ROMs) i think the radios works better (for me) if i reinstall them after a rom update. ( e.g. the GPS found more sattelites...)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RealZac:
I'm still using 4.47.25.01. This radio ist still the best for me.

(vodafone ger)

btw.:

Tested 4.47.25.09 yesterday - one question: could it be that this radio-rom-update makes the device do a hard reset?

Filename is "RUU_Topaz_hTC_ASIA_WWE_Radio_61.33tc.25.27_4.47.25.09_Only.exe".
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Where did you get this radio version from. A warning should be applied. I never had a hard reset when flashing a radio.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] DaBountyHunter:
Also did you use CustomRUU.exe instead of the Topaz one??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RealZac:
Post #1:

"7. Radio version v 4.47.25.09" -> Link 2

(d/l file name: "Topaz_Radio_4.47.25.09.rar", file inside rar: "RUU_Topaz_hTC_ASIA_WWE_Radio_61.33tc.25.27_4.47.25.09_Only.exe")

Think there would be no problem if one extract the RUU_*.exe and the use only the *.nbh with custom RUU.

I believe it is hardware. 3G in Europe is 2100/900. I have not been able to able to get 3G here in the US but I can in Europe.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mafioso:
Hmm...actually Pure's 3G is 850/1900, u can get 3g on it if ur on AT&T
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
Slightly more battery consumption than .17
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yunchikan:
at&t 3g frequencies are different from a non-us topaz. pure is by at&t so it is reasonable for it to be made with at&t's 3g frequencies

i bought my topaz in hk and it has a different freqencies than at&t so i can only use edge here D: its a pain. XD
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mafioso:
ohhh i confused that OCedHrt was talking about pure...not topaz..

but found out even the diamond2 can't get 3G on T-mobile USA...because it uses a weird 1700 band for uplink for 3G...so i guess firmware update won't help..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Dirk:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mttca:
Same with me - tried .204 and .91 then reverted back to .57
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
.91 is very good on t-mobile in the UK. Possibly slightly more sensitive than .57, otherwise very similar.

.57 was the big step for me, as it was the first radio which seemed to hold on better to an active 3G data connection when moving between cells as well as being faster for data in weak signal areas.

It's amazing how far the 3G performance has come from the original stock radio.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
Am I correct in assuming that there is no rilphone.dll files that go with these radios, or that the custom RUU wrappers taht come with the .rar files automaticly injects the correct rilphone.dll? The reason I ask is because I can not find any rilphone.dll files that go along with these radios...

Hi BeeGee,

I'm looking for radio 3.45.25.21 can you help me ?

I'm in France using Orange and, it was my native radio then I flashed the one you recommend on the first page but the power consumption is worse.

Thanks for reading.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I do not have this radio as a separate file. The only ROM I found that has this Radio ROM version is "RUU_Topaz_HTC_TUR_1.39.468.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.27t.25.23_3.45.25.21G_Ship.exe", but I am not sure if it is exact the same Radio, as it has the G in the version number.

If you want to try, you can get it from my file mirror. It is in Official ROM -> WM6.1

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OCedHrt:

Hi all,

since some days my FM- and GPS-reception has decreased rapidly and I still don't know why.

Actually I have to wait for GPS first fix about 5 minutes. Acceptable FM-reception is only possible in direct sight of a transmitter, RDS and TMC are not possible most of the time. GSM-quality seems to be stable.

I was using the official WM6.5-ROM (and radio-ROM) from T-Mobile Germany on MDA Compact V (Topaz) for several weeks and it worked quite fine.

Can I solve this problems with a new ROM and/or radio? Or does someone know about hardware-issues leading to those problems?

guys sorry to bother you with a noob Q: what is security/cid unlock? how can i security/cid unlock my topaz?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Search on the forum for it. There is a thread about security/CID unlock.

It is

a) for unlocking your phone (if it is locked) to use other providers

b) to be able to flash unsigned Radio ROMs (e.g. Radio ROMs coming from TouchPro 2

It is not free, so if you have an unlocked phone and no need to experiment with another phones Radio ROM, no need to do it.
