2.10.50.08_2 radio and AT&T

Works great. can't tell if (or how much) better than 2.08 radio I had before..

Reception- good (3-4 bars in areas known to have issues)

3G - Not on AT&T with my UK HD2..

2G - Had few times problems. Get message no network is available. retry solved it. Not sure if it is radio related or not.

GPS- same as before, works just great (get a cold fix in 30 seconds, warm fix instantly)

and the $1M question - battery..... seems to be a bit better than 2.08, if to judge by the fact I run the phone for 10 hours with standard use 9few calls, few texts, email writing etc.) and lost only 25% of battery. 2.5% per hour average, with moderate usage is great.. yet again, not really a professional report, just an observation, so if there are any other AT&T users in the US, you can try the 2.10 radio and compare to my experience. over all- OK.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] suavecito1177:
I am on a TMOUS HTC HD2 and am running the stock 2.08 radio, would anyone recommend updating to the 2.09 or 2.10 radio? Has any one had any issues? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
READ before asking. 2.09 will brick your phone hopelessly, and to flash 2.10 you would need to install hspl. Unless you have problems, you don't ned to do that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] viorelovidiu:
he means radio 2.09.50 which could be found here :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Moffan:
:D hey 2.10.50 or 2.09.50 which better for 576mb?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] axl30:
2.10! is the best :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Radio performance is largely based on location around the world and different people can have entirely different results from others. It's really hard to say which is the "best"... you should try several out, each for at least a day at a time, and then use whichever you find works best for you- battery life, signal strength, bluetooth / call clarity and quality, GPS signal lock, data speed and retention, wifi connectivity, and so on.

Welcome, glad to help out ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ala380:
Well of course it depends on where you are and what works best for me may not be what's best for you. That being said, 2.09.50 has given me much better reception and decent battery life. I'm going to stick with it for a few days and see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
1. Can I flash a new Radio withouth doing a Task29 and install a clean ROM again?

Basically, I want to change the radio I have now to another one. I have HSPL2 installed on the phone.

2. Would the content of the phone be deleted (applications and all) when the new radio is gonna be installed?

3. Which radio should I use in order to enable the 576 MB RAM on an NON TMOBILE HD2 (european version - rom 1.66 WWE)?

Million thanks!!

Thanks a lot!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
1. Just use LeoCustomRUU.exe and place the .nbh file you download in the same folder. Run the RUU. Don't bother with Task29.

2. No. LeoCustomRUU.exe doesn't perform a hard reset.

3. 2.10.50.08_2 is said to enable the 576 MB RAM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
Thanks a lot.

Can anybody confirm:

2.10.50.08_2 is said to enable the 576 MB RAM

Don't wanna ruin my phone by installing a wrong radio.

Thanks a mil.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tossero:
Like Digital Outcast said , you can flash this radio ! Usually he`s right ! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
but it won't unlock the extra ram on a 1.66 rom. only on a tmous based rom. (well unless something has dramatically changed in this radio)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mitko76:
something dramatically changed!!!

2.10 supports the extra ram
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
did you try it with a 1.66 rom? If not, 2.10 radio supports 576mb only on 2.10 roms, as it should...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
It doesnt update the ram on a 1.66 ROM.

WHat is the effect of flashing a tmobile rom on an european HD2?

Using 2.09.50.29_2 - Better Reception on TMOUS

I moved to 2.09.50.29_2 from the stock radio. So far, I have less dropped calls. It seems to do a better job of handing off from H>3G>E>G. I don't live in a major market so my coverage varies depending on where I am in town. The good news is that I am pleased with the results so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no problem. only the tmous has limitations,you can flash anything.

Recommended Radio?

Hi folks,

Excuse the relatively "n00b" question, but, is there any particular radio that is optimised for use in Australia with Three?

I have the non-Telstra (GSM 850) model.

I would like to upgrade to one of the WM 6.5.x ROMs.

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] otester:
TBH I find any work in any country, well if the TMOUS radios works in UK then I must be right? :confused:

Check out the Leopard 6.5.5 ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] agupta80:
What's TBH?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] greg1fraser:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] agupta80:
Gotcha!

Thanks :)

I guess it's time to try Artemis 9. I'll have to have a hunt around to see which radio is recommended for it.

Errm yes I did .. but as the poster did not tell me exactly which one to download, seeing as this is the first time of doing this I wanted to make sure I got the correct one for my phone ... :confused:

Just because you read something does not make you a expert on the subject :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
sure not... yet the first post includes a plethora of clear links to each and every radio rom available today, so in case you're looking for, say, radio 2.08, you just need to browse those links in the first post for:

Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 **(from TMOUS 2.09): MegaUpload - RS

Also, everyone who intends to flash radios/custom roms to their device should know by heart that you need to install hspl, since it's all over the forums, and there's a dedicated thread in the ROM development section (the one we're in).

And well, reading won't make you an expert but will avoid the need to ask questions that are alreay very clearly answered elsewhere :p ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JJKameR:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] souvath:
the answer is here !

x.xx.50.x is for Tmous,

x.xx.51.x is for classic HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
not strictly true, regular hd2 can use any radio, it isn't held back by the tmous problem.

plus the 2.10.50.x came from an asian rom, not the tmous.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] seal_team_six:
I think this is the right explanation bout radio

x.xx.50.x utilize 576MB RAM enable (compatible with any ROM based on T-MOUS and SKT-KR Rom and may be others official ROM that already used x.xx.50.x)

x.xx.51.x utilize 448MB RAM enable (classic ROM)

so just check your radio before flashin, if it has suffix 50.x or 51.x to avoid mismatch radio flash ... :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
only way to flash a "standalone" radio on the HD2 is using HSPL.

custom roms very very rarely come with a radio included.

if you're afraid of using HSPL for warranty reasons, keep in mind that it can be reversed... with HSPL2 it's even easier to do, so just HSPL your device and life will smile upon you :p

echo back

Hi,

Anyone noticing an echo back to the ear speaker. I got the volume all the way down and I can hear myself through the ear speaker. Also the volume on the call is too loud, I cant put the phone to close to my ear.

Any idea or suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] X5 E70:
I think that this echo is a problem with cell network. With the stock radio a had echo but not every time when i use the phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SaintNULL:
Echo seems to be dependent on radio/rom combination. Certain combos will have it, others won't.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I do have echo but only a few times in all the calls I receive, mostly good audio. It's like the other person has loudspeaker on and my voice is getting back from their microphone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ruinertt:
The NRG set of ROMs are made from the T-Mobile US code base ROM, so you HAVE to use a radio that has .50 in it. The .51 radios will not work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] LondonTownGuy:
It also depends on the phone the call is coming from, my wife had a samsung phone and there was a terrible echo on my end. When her new Sony upgrade came the calls are now crystal clear on 2.11 base and radio 2.10.50 its a strange problem.

I am trying to make a backup of rilphone.dll but it wont let me copy it out of the windows directory. I used SOTI pocket controller as well as windows file explorer on my XP

I want to experiment with trying to get rid of the static noise I am hearing as well enhance the call quality.

I know radio performance, everything-wise, is dependend from location and carrier, and that's why I find it strange that, starting from 2.06, up to the 2.10 I'm using now, I couldn't notice anything different, as to say that nothing must have changed so much that I could realize it did :p

IMO my daily use varies so much depending on the occasion, that the most repetitive battery check I can do is nightly dischange (no wifi, no anything except phone in GSM, no 3g), and I always get 4% off the percentage I got before getting to sleep.

So, until now, no radio update whatsoever changed anything for me... :rolleyes:
