Testing

Current ROM: Energy.TOPAZ.23554.Sense2.5_with_Max.Apr.01

Changed radio from 4.48.25.20 to 4.49.25.91, but I seem to have pretty good battery drainage w/both. Perhaps that is just the ROM I am using? Regardless, both of the above radios seem to work well in my area, no issues with email, my location, etc. Will have to try 4.49.25.17 next to see how the battery fares.

Im on official europe ROM with Band GSM 900+1800 and UMTS 2100, and rest band what have this ROM. Somewhat on our forum i was fond this cab , install that, and now i have american GSM/UMTS 850+1900 tab on phone band option too, but i cannot explore work it or not, because cell tower band is only european in my country. I ask somebody from USA, if can and will explore, work it on this band after install this cab (both, GSM and UMTS on 850+1900).

Thanks forwarding

Thought this might be relevant here: an app for cell id, accurate signal strength, a graph, all in real time (5 second minimum update interval) plus naming cells with friendly names.

Which is the best radio for battery because i think this is not very good for battery,now i have the 4.49.25.91 should i try something else, i live in Greece?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
You can search this thread for the keyword "Greece", as far as I remember there is some feedback from Greece users.

Or you just try different radio ROM. Battery life is depending on your usage, on the ROM you use and on your region.

The language in my thread is ENGLISH! No problem if you discuss in Greek if it is easier for your, but please provide at least a translation of your conversation in English.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] labrok:
sorry for our greek conversation. but the main point in that conversation was the signal in the greek area, so we thought it would not be so interesting for all the other people to read about a problem that they probably will never have. But for your information the problem was that with .91 the battery is draining fast in some places with bad signal, and i explained to the other greek friend that this is norrmal if he uses the telephone with all radios open the same moment and in places with bad reception.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
labrok, thanks for the short explanation. Might be of interest for non Greek speaking people as well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nik1975:
Hello Beege and sorry also for this ,i would also want to add of what labrok said that for our use 2 hours with bluetooth conversion is enough that you have your battery level less than 20% is absolutely logical and doesnt had to do with the radio.Sorry again;);)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adamwest:
I've been using .91 for a while with TESS prids IV.

I find the GPS laggy as hell at times and just drops out occasionally, normally quick to get a signal tho.

I don't really want to go backwards with radio's, surely a new radio should be out soon.

I rememeber when an update for my diamond radio came out (latest official one) the GPS on it was supurb, why can't I have that with this phone?

Whats this 'Next Radio' then?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I didn't see any new Radio for a long time. Even the latest official WM 6.5 releases from HTC didn't have new Radio ROMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] [lx]-DdBl:
well, no answer is worth nothing, but I decided to upgrade and all worked fine, no problems at all. I'm gonna test it today further than only calling/SMS & WiFi, take a ride with the built-in GPS ...

I didn't observe any difference between the 4.49.25.17 and the 4.49.25.91 ... perhaps the .91 uses a little bit less of power, but I wasn't able to measure it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Actually there is no changelog available for the radio ROMs. They are changed sometimes by HTC　usually without any documentation. That's why you didn't get any answer on your other post.

So the known differences between the radio ROMs are just based on the observation of users. And depending on their carrier and location, they are very different.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] [lx]-DdBl:
ah, ok, I'm new to this topic (with smartphones etc.) at all, so that's why I asked... but I can share an observation, which goes with the ROM and WiFi: I experienced a bigger range and better signal quality the TD2 gets with the 4.49.25.91, the GPS didn't change imho.

First of all, thanks for the radio thread. I´m using .91 at the moment (well). I remember when i was change the radio on Diamond i also used to change the rilphone.dll for better Ram consume. Here I don´t find nothing in this sense. Are there any rilphone available for theese new Radios? Thanks in advance

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Most custom ROMs come without a radio ROM. So as long as you did not change the radio ROM by yourself you have always the same radio ROM on your device, even if you change the custom ROM.

What is the Stock Radio that is used in the UK, I have 4.49.25.91 and im on orange, but only the HSDPA will work, when its 3G the internet don't work. I've flashed a couple of Custom Roms, but have since put the Stock Rom back on (2.53.405.5 WWE).

Advice would be great please :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
The file name of all official ROMs is something like that: "RUU_Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE_2.53.405.5_Radio_Signed_Topaz _61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe". You can see in the name of the file radio ROM version as well. By searching for proper file name of your ROM you can find out version of radio ROM

you can also go to 1st BeeGee post in zip file see which radio is good for your country, ore simply try to flash different radios starting from 4.47 to find out yourself which is better for you area
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
well, maybe I'm wrong, but I think I have experienced something like this. I have noticed, that the phone works much stable and faster if reflash radio ROM after flashing main ROM. Even if reflash the same radio ROM as I’ve had before. So maybe this dll comes with radio ROM and changes then radio ROM flashes?

vodafone UK / NL experiences

back in Holland on the Vodafone network I upgraded to 4.49.25.91 and was quite impressed by performance vs stock radio. However after moving to the UK and Vodafone UK network I tried several radios as 3G reception was not great with .91. 4.49.25.17 was not better but I am now quite happy with 4.49.25.57, I get stable 3G in places where I didn't get that before.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tchan:
I tried all the radios available on this thread. Basically any radio bellow 4.48.25.20 (stock radio) gave me only 1 or 2 bars. Anything above the stock radio gave me up to 4 bars in the same location. The only problem is that I couldn't find any stable radio. Any of the radios on the 4.49s is not stable (at least for me). The bars keep fluctuating between 1 to 4, sometimes zero without my phone moving or being touch.

I live in southern California and have at&t. I had my phone for over a year and I just starting having problems with the reception. I know it's not at&t because I already called them several times and I know it's not my SIM card because it was replaced twice already. I tried my SIM on a different at&t phone and the signal strength was pretty stable and stronger than on my at&t pure.

Any suggestions?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
May be your neighborhood has bought a big microwave oven?

Seriously

Do you experience problems while talking? You can’t hear ore you can’t be heard? If no, just leave it.

If this problem exsists – do a hard reset. It helps with 99,99% of problems .

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
As far as all public and from around the globe 4.49.25.91 has been the best (which you can also see in the Recommended section in 1st post :) ) radio that you can use for Topaz/Diamond2. Also the latest stock ROM came with this radio.

Thanks.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
If you see the first post in the thread you can see the latest is "4.49.25.91" and there is no _2 for this. So you can download 4.49.25.91 from the link provided in first post.

If you are referring to the _2 mean the 2nd link provided is dead:: Then try 3rd link or you can even grab my copy from here.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RealZac:
Thank you. ;-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jlccarv:
is it possible to flash the radio from an SD card? if so, how exactly?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
It is possible. It is the same as for a ROM. You rename the radio .nbh file into TOPAIMG.nbh, copy it to your SD card, go into Bootloader mode by holding volume down while reseting. The Topaz will then flash the radio, and there is no hard reset, your data will not be lost.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pauln:
To go to bootloader turn the phone off -hold the ON butt- after push ON till hold the voll down ...

The same way to flash another ROM ...rename topaimg.nbh and go planet... shortest time compare with active sync....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] paokaras45:
Actually i had problem flashing a ROM because of the file name.

I had to use capital letters to recognize it (the ROM file).

So for sure, rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh:)

4.48.25.13.

Getting an extra bar (3) where I sit at work and thats normally a dead area, so for signal its good so far, more testing to do.

A question, I ran the RUU and it basically hard reset my device also, I thought radios only soft reset after installation ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
it depends upon which RUU do you use. it is possible that the RUU used by you wasn't patched to avoid HR, means it could be the shipped RUU and not custom RUU
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Second issue with hard reset. It looks like I should open all radio ROM archives and make sure that the correct CustomRUU is included.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] katsj:
At the moment the ROM seems fine! As for the Band dropping from HSDPA to GSM easier that is how is should be since before it was staying at HSDPA when not enough signal was available and you were missing parts of the conversation and the call was dropped! Seems to be the best Radio ROM so far! I tried to make a call in an area that I used to have the Band to Auto and it was receiving low HSDPA signal and I was loosing parts of the conversation till the call was dropped and now the phone drops to GSM without loosing a single word! That is the first Radio ROM that I use with Band set to Auto without dropping calls! HTC got it right this time. The only problem seems to be a bit worse GPS reception but I am not sure yet about that! As for calls WELL DONE HTC, my Topaz finally works fine as a phone and my friend's iphone 3GS seems to have the problem I used to have with all previous ROMS. That is why I believe its not only 3G phones problem but also the low quality 3G networks from the telecoms!

The radio ROM's are coming from HTC. I have no idea how they create it. And there is a possibility to influence the radio ROM's thru registry settings, but I have no idea how to do that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] htcd2fan:
Well, installed 4.48.25.13 and have to say (after ~2 hours of testing). Best Radio so far in my opinion.

Shows more signalstrength than any previous radio i had flashed, data-connections seem to be pretty stable and fast. GPS seems to be as good as always (monitored with iGo 8 R3, GPS-Infoscreen which shows the connected satelites, drove a short trip).

so far, it's looking good. has to show its quality over a longer time at more different locations, but currently it's looking really good... :)

if you want a real mesurement active the fieldtest (*#*#364#*#*) on the diamond2 then look the RRSI 1 in db

put your device on a table , do not touch it or move it then look at the receive strenth meter and you ll be able to see if there is an improvement of the sensitivity

you can run several test with several rom but the most important think is : do not move the device or touch the device just read the rssi1 result and compare

the best the reception is the best the number is near -50

the worst is near - 110

you should read a value between -50 ( the best ) and -110 ( the worst )

it is only for comparison and it is the best way to see the radio signal

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] losdrivare:
Correct me if I've misunderstood anything, but these values in themselves doesn't say much apart from how far your nearest cell-tower is. The values only become meaningful if you compare different Radio ROMs with the same phone in the same spot.

To post one value for one radio ROM in one location is absolutely meaningless, even for another user in the same city since that other user could have a different distance to the cell tower and thus a different value on the reception.
