Thanx, now i'm not a lier :)

Ok but don't expect to have 4 more days.. because at the end the battery drains faster... mine went down the day after i posted i was at 30%... But no matter, i was very impressed with this duration ! I recharged it yesterday via usb on my laptop... let's see how long will it go !

For GSM, same for me.. i used 3G very little previous week... that's whay because i was talking almost of standby mode. But it's not that bad for an "almost" standby mode !

Ciao

NUP...still does not working flashing from sd...back to laptop!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Hi All,

Everything works fine except for a few things...

I have been flashing the new radio (1.17), then flashed L26's LEO roms, then duttys leo roms, and back to r14.

I have Dutty's r14, and just flashed to radio 1.17.... BUT...Now my GPS pick up takes about 1-2 minutes, whereas before i would always get a pick up in 10-20 secs.

What have i done wrong? That it is now so slow? it has been slow for the last few rom flashes...

I have been reading this forum...and some are talking about "installing a RIL version"...what is that? is that what i have not done? have i stuffed my gps radio?

Thanks again

J
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noris08:
probably not but it is advisable to install ril 1.14 and then flash radio 1.17 as instructed in blackstone radio thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Hi,

thanks, but i looked for the file...where is it and how do i install it? Why install a 1.14 ril when flashing a 1.17?

Thanks again

J
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noris08:
all answers are within radio thread

however, you have to use ril1.14 because for the moment there is no ril.1.17 and it seems to work good enough with radio 1.17

or you can reflash your radio 1.14 and stick with it

is your choice
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ardsar:
Stdby current can not be measured using an application directly. How can an application log a measurement if the device is sleeping? Therefore the measurements you have taken, do not reflect the true standby state.

If the HD required 34mA in standby, then this would give a standby time of only 39Hours. This is definately not true, as i can go for several days, having used the phone and not just in standby.

The only true way to measure standby current is to link a mili-ampmeter in series with the battery to the phone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
It will not work if your SD card is Transcend, as mine is which was the one included in the box.

Sandisk seems to be the only brand that is reliable for flashing.

Battery improvement

I use Energy Leo room, the battery drained very fast with this room. just try this radio last night. it works very well for me. can see the battery life improvement straight away. highly recommend! :)

Poor reception

I am using it on the latest Energy ROM but reception is low. I am on orange UK and I am in central london. I think I might revert to previous version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maclemy:
Hi Ca5c4d3, what ROM did you have before you upgraded? I had Stock Orange UK and it is not powering oin with the Energy ROM.

Did you notice your signal drop a lot!?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sehtat:
I don't know whether this is just me, but the battery drain of this radio is so fast. Before heading to bed it was 100%, and the moment I woke up it was already like 39% even it's only in standby mode???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
That's not right bro, you must have had quite a bit running all throughout the night. I've never had battery drain like this with any radio I've flashed, definitely not experiencing this on 1.17.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryche316:
Radio Install

this maybe a stupid question, but I'm running Dutty's wm6.5 leo R4 rom. If I install this radio update will it affect anything else ? The reason I ask I noticed that you have to go into bootloader as if you're flashing a new rom

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
as long as u know what u r doing nothing will go wrong...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
You can just update the radio and it will not have an impact on your ROM. Just be sure to not use the update package from HTC as it will cause a hard reset.

Flashed! My HD doesn't recognize my SIM anymore... :(:(:(

I also tried rillphone 1.14
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Neelesh35:
its just you.. my phone was 100% charged day before yesterday at about 5pm, thats 32 HOURS ago.... Ive been using it normally throughout the day, and at night aswell.. have used it a little bit on msn, and facebook. sent only about 5 txt, received a few emails, and probably 10 - 15 calls..

Right now, its 38% and mobile web has been on for most of the time (except at night and also i switchd it off a few times) ...

this is the biggest improvement ive seen in any phone, i didnt expect it like this.. I'm pretty sure i can play with it, and it wil still hold some charge by noon tomorrow... or even 5pm (makes it 48 hours)...

earlier, if i charge it in the morning, i had to put it at night again, or by latest the next morning

invalid vendor id

as i've said have tried all wrappers within this thread.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] giniman:
Did you flash HardSPL? You may also use USPL before flashing the new radio...

greetz giniman
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottydog90:
right this is where it gets dodgy for me....i'm reasonably experienced in flashing roms but my brain simply doesn't get hardspl...what the hell is it??

all i know is when i run a wrapper on my pc i get a triclour screen on my touch hd that says SPL-1.54 BLAC100 MICROP-BLACKSTONE (LED) v6

and then it carries on flashing the rom/radio.

this is what i've always done and i've always been able to flash.

but on this radio rom its a no go...so i need to know what i'm doing wrong.

i've seen a picture somewhere on this site that shows the tricolour screen with the words "security unlocked" across the top of the screen...

i do not have that...don't know if thats relevant
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noris08:
1. install htc sync drivers

2. use uspl gui 2.5

3. run wrapper

all steps are clear explained within forum

just search for them:)

good luck!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottydog90:
i've been a good boy and researched hardspl and it seems my bootloader display doesn't show 1.56 olipro so it hasn't been hardspl'd

i'll trot off and get this sorted so i can try this radio rom..

sorry to teeter off topic and thanks for advice

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you had read the wiki or searched this thread amongst others you would see that upgrading your radio can improve you signal/reception, battery performance & GPS fix. This is also dependant on your location as some radio's work better than others depending on your location.

I noticed too a loss in battery life... so i take it to the end.... power off my phone totally during one night and fully charged it ! It helps a lot... the battery is better now.

Then i flashed to this radio and the increase was quite spectacular to me !!! Gret radio for battery for me. I'm in France on Orange network... this radio and the 1.14 RIL is good for me ! Without hard reset of course, because i'm not a geek so i don't want to reconstruct my phone :)

I have downloaded the Radio 1.17. Do I also have to download and flash the RIL or is it all inclusive
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Currently no RIL available yet for 1.17. Just use RIL for 1.14 which is latest
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] trendsbze:
Still confused and sorry to be so dumb. The reason I asked is that I downloaded the 1.14 BS RILPHONE and extracted it, but unlike the radio it has no wrapper nor nbh file. I am trying to find out how to flash it or if it is even necessary.

All I get when I extract is: 1-setup.xml, 2-driver 1.000, 3-rilphone.001.

Your help is appreciated as always Fallen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] haefftig:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] trendsbze:

Yes mate, just a cab installation.

I've attached latest RIL file (radio 1.14) for your convienience

Need some Help

Hey guys i have Miri's V28premium rom and i have radio version: 1.09.25.14 it worth to upgrade to 1.17.... (i'm new in case of radios) :D:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
One thing that's still a little vague for me. I know that ideally, the radio and RIL should match but since there's no RIL for 1.17 we use RIL 1.14.

So the question is, is RIL 1.14 better that RIL 1.13 in all situations or should I match my radio 1.13 with RIL 1.13?

I'm not doing so as apparently RIL 1.13 is not very reliable for some reason.

Also, why is it so difficult to obtain the matching RIL? In all the ROMs I flash, RIL file is included in the ROM, so shouldn't it be just a matter of extracting that file? Is HTC providing the radio without the RIL, meaning that they are separate entities and do not really need to match.

Just pondering...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
It's definitely worth upgrading radio 1.09. I had all kinds of problems with it such as GPS disconnecting continuously etc.

As for which version to upgrade to, you should do some research and see what people in your location recommend. They seem to be location and carrier dependent.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
I want to say my results.

Im with lates NRG 6.5 Room with Manila 2.1 from 11 Octomber and i was with Radio 1.13

Befor a half hour 1st i install the 1.14 Radio Rilphone do Soft Reset and then i Boot the Lates Radio 1.17

All i can say from 30 minutes using this Radio is I LOVE IT

The Delay in the Ringin just GONE, for 1st time i see something like this.

Also im using the Defaul HD dial with is not light like the Default WM dialer.

I Test it 10 times i call to Myself and my Phone Wake Up and Start to Ring Imideately without any Delay.

This is something very cool because from one year since i have this Touch HD im tryin to fix that problem.

So i will keep testing this days and if i see something other will report.

Im from Bulgaria this is just for info.

1.17 with Rilphone 1.14 really improve the strenght of the signal and also have faster reception with sure.

I hope to don`t dry my battery fast will see tomorow.

rilphone and hard reset

guys if i installed the ril phone 1.14 and then do a hard reset will the ril phone.cab be removed, and if i had 1.14 radio when i got my blackstone will i have the 1.14 ril phone by default or do i have to install the ril phone each time i flash a ROM. i am thinking of jumping from 1.14 radio to 1.17 radio.:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
My thoughts exactly Makbil, been wondering the same thing. Would love to know the final answer on this, if there is one that is.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
There's a very good explanation here.

This raises some questions for me as to why HTC would not provide matching radio/ril sets to begin with but my general understanding is that it is a good idea to use the latest ril unless you have a very specialized radio version. In short, using ril 1.14 for versions greater than 1.13 should be OK. I doubt they would have taken out any functionality in 1.14 that 1.13 has, so I'll keep using my radio 1.13 with rl 1.14 for a while longer.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
That has to be the best explanation I've read yet, definitely clears thing up for me. Thank you, this was very informative.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Clem-le-long:

NEW RESULTS

Im with lates NRG 6.5 Room with Manila 2.1 from 17 Octomber and i was with Radio 1.13

Befor 24hrs i install the 1.14 Radio Rilphone do Soft Reset and then i Boot the Lates Radio 1.17

All i can say for this Radio is I LOVE IT

The Delay in the Ringin just GONE, for 1st time i see something like this.

Also im using the Defaul HD dial with is not light like the Default WM dialer.

I Test it 10 times i call to Myself and my Phone Wake Up and Start to Ring Imideately without any Delay.

This is something very cool because from one year since i have this Touch HD im tryin to fix that problem.

Im from Bulgaria on GLOBUL witch is part from COSMOTE this is just for info.

1.17 with Rilphone 1.14 really improve the strenght of the signal and also have faster reception with sure.

Fast GPS i test it with iGO8 when i run the iGO for 1st time COLD START after 2-3 Seconds the GPS found around 5 Signals and start to Navigate for 1st time i see somethin like this.

Battery Life - Improve, i was thinking that the new Radio can dry my bttery faster But NO... all is perfect for 24hrs Using few minutes WiFi make some Calls and play with the Phone only 6% from my Battery was down for the last 24 hrs witch is PERFECT.

No Heating the device all run perfect.

So i make some tweaks and test because i have 2 HTC touch HD at home..

And the One with Older NRG wm6.5 ROM and the one with the 17 Octomber Version.

I install the same programs and etc ecerything is the same on the phones just the ROM version is diferent.

I saw that there have some litle diference.

The phone with the Older NRG ROM have litle delay in the ringing around a half second..

The one with the version from 17 Octomber RING IMIDEATELY.

All otheris pretty the same.

The both device have Improve the GPS Signal and etc.

Maybe depends now only from where are you and witch operator you use.

Depends also what kind of ROM you use exactly.

I don`t wana this to sound like a advertisement but with NRG ROM WM 6.5 from 17 Octomber Standart Edition.

All is more than perfect. i cant ask anything more.

And everything running perfect.

Now will expain what i did.

1st Flash My Phone with the NRG ROM

2nd install the 1.14 Rilphone.cab into phone memory.

3rd Flash the Radio from my SD cart

PERFECT COMBINATION

This can't be a radio related problem. I've been using 1.17 for quite a while now and never had such a problem.

I had it way back on my Kaiser, I suspected a problem with the SIM card holder and after tinkering with it never got this problem again.

Try to clean the SIM and phone contacts, perhaps that can help or you could try with a different SIM card to see if the problem is there.

GPS and Telephone signal strength

Just to put in my 5p worth. I have used this radio for some time on Topix 2.9.4 with excellent results. Being a bit of Flashaholic I tried Dutty's latest Holy Grail 5th Nov. I found that this changed my radio back to 1.13 which still gave gave a good GPS fix but reduced my phone signal strength. I have since flashed back to 1.17 and gps reamins good with a noticable improvement of phone signal strength. This is still using Dutty ROM. I'm on Orange and live in South of England:)
