Here are some numbers for you all(phone sat in the exact same position)...

SuperD 1.9.3

BEFORE REBOOT + OLD RADIO

-89dbm 12asu 2-3bars

(Latency - Down - Up)

169ms - 205kbps - 186kbps

178ms - 175kbps - 200kbps

178ms - 266kbps - 226kbps

AFTER REBOOT + OLD RADIO

-91dmb 11asu 2-3bars

(Latency - Down - Up)

172ms - 547kbps - 389kbps

169ms - 310kbps - 364kbps

150ms - 676kbps - 360kbps

AFTER REBOOT + NEW RADIO

-89dmb 12asu 3-4bars

(Latency - Down - Up)

167ms - 272kbps - 341kbps

140ms - 559kbps - 341kbps

178ms - 664kbps - 340kbps

Besides the phone never dropping down to 2 bars, speed and signal strength seem about the same.

EDIT: I've had my Google Maps opened for about 5 minutes now and it still hasnt located my position. Not even using cell towers.

EDIT2: Rebooted again and GMaps picked up my location.
[G1 Android Development] Destriant:
My test wasn't that extensive, but I'm seeing an increase of 1-2 bars and sustained 3G connectivity in previously dead areas of my office.
[G1 Android Development] kai84m:
Just flashed the Radio!

No Problems with the flashing! I will post my experience later on....
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
So what about the people of the community that support the devs by posting links to their roms, twitter pages, and delivering countless feedback and support of all of their work? Not to exclude those who enhance, tweak, and mix features from one rom to another to meet every flashers personal preference (something I know Devs get sick of trying to do) Shouldn't we be offered a piece of your bandwidth free of charge, lol...:)ya know, so we could use it to store our favorite roms and links to development criteria?;):D

[OT]

EVERYTHING starts from one person's input from the bible, newton, tesla all the way to your professor. For things that are trivial like definitions, biographies, units or measurements (ie. dBm) wiki is unsurpassed. i think your putting a little too much stock into wut your prof says (did you ever care to check HIS sources?). wiki is getting better and better at self policing references and uncited facts. i check wiki everyday for formulas and stuff i need for my job as a electrical design engineer and it has made be better at wut i do. its like all of my engineering text books lumped into one website. as a reference, wiki is simply the best. but to each his own...

[/OT]

btw google maps works fine after updating...
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
You validate a good point, everything must start from somewhere I agree,lol....I guess there is more the one way to look at it, Generally, i would not state all wiki information to be incorrect, (as in your case with the engineering) I just don't deem it to be a constant reliable source, that is however my own opinion, as well as any professor's I guess, in the end it is all personal preference. Agreed to Disagreement I will say. Subject Closed. Thanks for the intellectual little chat.:D
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
The good news: No harm was done.

The bad new: I see no change in 3G data rates or connection strength.

At least for my G1 in the San Diego area, the new radio seems to have had no impact at all.
[G1 Android Development] blackknightavalon:
Just got off the phone using this radio image. It didn't change the call quality at all.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
are you sure it said hold home and power? for me it said home and back..
[G1 Android Development] cg87:
Just flashed the radio and everything works fine. I haven't noticed much improvements yet other than a 5 second improvement in boot time.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
i notice a significant signal strength improvement in my house. I usually can barely get a 3G signal with slow browsing. Now there is a solid 2 bars (sometimes jumps to 3) and I can browse with ease :)
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
sorry yes it said home and back,and i pressed home and back

when i was writing that post i was thinking about how i held power and camera to check the radio version
[G1 Android Development] lordviper666:
Updated fine on my G1 but i guess my area sucks still stuck on edge.
[G1 Android Development] keatliang2005:
work on my HTC DREAM Singtel

yes ! i flash it.
[G1 Android Development] georgefrs:
I just flashed this radio onto a UK Vodaphone Magic 32B with the 2004 engineering spl (one that came on it iirc). I'm running the latest Open Eclair rom.

Observations:

- It has completely eliminated the dreaded "Ring Lag". About 2 rings before the name/number appears while in an app and virtually half a ring while in standby. Before I was lucky if I saw who it was before it went to voicemail (a good 6 - 7 rings).

- GPS doesn't work for me. Google Maps can't get a lock and GPS Status can only intermittently pick up 1 or 2 satellites without gaining a fix. In this exact location before I could get a lock in about 2 seconds with the previous radio. The fact it's still finding something means it isn't totally kaput, but the sensitivity is so low it's unusable.

- Installing this rom wiped all the caches so OpenEclair took ages to boot. The animation paused and restarted several times and I eventually resorted to logcat incase something was up, but it was just rebuilding. If your running this rom, be really patient with your first boot.

I'll probably have to revert until a workaround for the GPS issue is found. Could it be an interaction between the Radio version and SPL version? I didn't think the SPL really had any effect on this side of things but I can't think of any other differences unless it's a rom thing?
[G1 Android Development] My_Name_Is_Neo:
Can someone please upload a mirror, mediafire is blocked from my office network and google doc link does not work. rapidshare or dropbox or drop.io.. thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] :
People please stop posting 'I flashed it - it worked!'

36 pages and only around 3 pages contain anything useful! Yes you flashed it, well done but unless you have anything more constructive to add just keep it to yourself please and when you've tested things then please feel free to contribute.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
truly no idea why my phone won't take this update!

I flashed clockwork recovery image (so i can flash non-signed zips), and removed BOTH assert lines from the update-script. That should make it just force flash it! But no, still on 26I radio.

when it reboots (to when it's flashing the radio), the progress bar doesn't even move. I just get the flashing screen for a couple seconds, then it reboots.

Anyone have any idea how I can get this radio to update?
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
anyone find my little article useful?

http://www.lineardroid.co.uk/?p=216
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
GPS works for me with kingklick's eclair 2.1 ROM. Found my location quickly "Accurate to 4 meters"
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
I just want to report that Maps found me in just a few seconds, so GPS and maps are working for me with Danger and King's 2.1. I hope we can figure out why they aren't working for some people.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Posting this again because nobody sees what I post lol.

DIRECTLY FROM T MOBILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T-Mobile is scheduled to send out an over-the-air (OTA) software update to G1 users beginning February 26th. The OTA will be sent in rolling phases through March 15th.

This update will improve G1 user's call performance only and does not include any additional feature enhancements.

The Android 1.6 DMD64 OTA (this OTA is not Android 2.0 Eclair) is being sent to G1 customers only and is not being sent to other Android devices at this time.

myTouch 3G users have already received this update and myTouch 3G LE, as well as myTouch 3G with 3.5mm jack devices will not receive this update as these devices have the updated software.

You can check these forums for the latest updates on all of our Android devices.

* G1 user's without the required data plan will not receive the OTA and must add the data plan in order to receive the update.

* This update is not Eclair.

* This OTA will be seamless and you will not lose any of your personal information or downloads.

* Once again, this update is to improve call performance only and does not include other feature enhancements.

Anything else is placebo.

.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
considering my battery would almost certainly be below 15% by now instead of 55 from 91% 13 hours ago....i wouldnt discount this as a possible side effect

maybe they are unintentional side effects....i certainly havnt changed anything other than the radio - so how else would you explain the decreased boot time and increased battery life?

just because they say it is only for one thing doesnt mean it wont have influence on other things
[G1 Android Development] maddoguk:
Strange - Another UK VF 32B Magic but with Death SPL and Super D 1.9.3.

No problems with GPS or nav and now with outstanding reception in rural area.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
LOL dude....the radio doesn't do anything to your battery life or boot time.

Placebo much?

Do this....time your boot up time for 10 boot ups in a row, now tell me the time for each one.....yeah they are all 1 - 10 seconds apart aren't they.
[G1 Android Development] torchedlh:
edit nevermind...
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
G1 with CM 4.2.14, stock SPL., recovery 1.4+JF

in case it helps anyone here's my play by play:

DL'd radio file for G1

copied to SD card via USB

Shut down

Booted into recovery

- apply any zip, G1-radio.. zip, HOME to confirm

Wait for message

Reboot, see graphic for open box sticking yellow tongue out onto G1 :)

Wait, reboots again in recovery, says "Formatting cache..." waited..

moved trackball.. it moved (according to CM wiki, this means cache format is done), so I selected reboot

see G1, then android logo, then expected lock screen

results.. I have wacky reception at work.. 2 bars.. then 5 bars.. still the same. shrug.

calwidget took a moment to figure out the correct date (was showing summer 2009 stuff), but its ok now.

Note: I'm too newb to help beyond the play by play above. Just hoping it helps some other newb.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
actually you are wrong...radio firmware often includes improved power management governed by the radio itself, not the OS

as for the boot time, if you were to read what i wrote you would see that i stated a decrease of 20 or more seconds

that aint no placebo.

surely you must know that firmware often has unknown side effects
[G1 Android Development] revo420:
OH NOES I BRICKED ME G1!!1!1!!

Actually everything went with out a hitch. Anyone should be able to update with NO probs...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? Thank you for this!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Pardon me expert T-Mobile Tier 3 Android Tech Specialist. I guess you would know because you designed the radio. You win my friend. My boot up time is now 2.7 milliseconds flat!

Gotta love when someone thinks they are right over the source of the release!

Your honestly hiding your head under a rock if you think T-Mobile wouldn't mention things like Improved battery life and decreased boot up time.

Oh by the way, the radio doesn't do a damn thing to your boot image

I feel like you are an iphone user....there last update does all the stuff you mention lol.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
serously...wtf?

as for tmobile not mentioning any other possible side effects....

ever hear about that lovely hero radio they pushed early on that made wifi unstable and drew more resources which they never said anything about?

is it possible that the radio is initializing faster? and this leaving the phone free to do more with its time?

and anyway, what would tmobile know? its htc that makes it

as for the iphone comment...that really hurt....

seriously tho - i do spend a hell of alot of time flashing most roms on to my spare g1 to check the performance etc so i do notice the minor differences

can we just agree that there may be unexpected side effects as well as a minor placebo effect and give this a rest?
[G1 Android Development] eratosthene:
Just a quick note, this may be unrelated, but I thought it would helpful to somebody. I flashed the radio, everything went through perfectly. After bootup, though, Settings.apk would force close every time. I reflashed OpenEclair 1.2.2, and that fixed the problem. Weird.
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Hey, I was wondering, why does it say MyTouch 1.0? What is the 1.0?
[G1 Android Development] xftox:
flashed

Just flashed onto my 32b with death spl improved signal a lot.
[G1 Android Development] t0mmy:
ok i almost just **** myself

getting 5 bars of 3g in my house, A++ post
[G1 Android Development] georgefrs:
Ok, so in the interests of science I reflashed my phone with an old CM rom and GPS works so I retract my previous statement about it being the radio. Looks like it was the rom. It's possible I hadn't tested the GPS since I upgraded to 1.2.2 but I was sure I had.

Anyway, I guess I'll submit a bug report to the OE project.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Good luck man :D You got some balls.
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
Hey, I didn't fart...

...nor am I malicious in any way. I've been on XDA for awhile, just not very - vocal - as it were. You take it as you like, I just haven't seen anyone post an update for the radio so I decided to do one because my wife was complaining about call quality on her CyanogenMod myTouch. After testing, I moved it over to my G1 and so far so good. Good luck to those that are trying it out. If it does kill your phone, I apologize. Just trying to help the community.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
May the Code of Primus be with you.
[G1 Android Development] swhtownboy:
lmfaoooooo
[G1 Android Development] :
Can I have your brick for jtag testing? :D
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
i can confirm this works with the DangerSPL...

now...who wants to buy me a beer? lol
[G1 Android Development] 1wingangel:
what exactly does it do?
[G1 Android Development] :
Much respect to you fella! That took some balls.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
presumably....improve battery life and fix other possible issues - just like every other radio update....

thanks to the OP
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
now...here is my question....if i have to reflash the htc adp1 image if i switch from and then go back to CM....will it reflash the old radio? will it **** me up?
[G1 Android Development] 1wingangel:
should I do this if I have a mt3g?

sorry so nooby.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Here, take one of mine.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Still scared to flash it :(
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
No offense bro, I just didn't want that dude to **** himself thus farting would probably not be a good idea. And you have to understand we have seem some jokers on here. Thanks for the post and having huge nuts.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
this could inhibit the ability to flash certain roms.

-Jcarrz1
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Were you looking at them? O_o....>_>
[G1 Android Development] :
So how do we flash a Radio Update?
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
No offense taken. Just figured I should explain myself more instead of just throwing up a random update file and hoping for the best.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
uhh recovery and flash ._.' same like any other zip file.
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
No but I am thinking of growing some here in a minute.
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
anyone FLASHED the radio with MyTouch 3g with 1.33.0006 Stock SPL??
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yup, worked brilliantly.
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
really, that is good to here , I guess i will also, I'll report back when I'm done! thanks for the quick reply!!
[G1 Android Development] bluenile:
Anyone notice Task Manager showing incorrect names to terminate, i mean you click on Calender, it will ask you if you want to terminate Market, so on and so forth?
[G1 Android Development] mvanwyk83:
Flashed new radio a few hours ago and I will say that it works very well. At my home I got 1 maybe 2 bars of 3g and now I have full 3g.
[G1 Android Development] s15274n:
I am noobtastic.
[G1 Android Development] chucky80:
Works with MT3G FASTTEST

I just flashed over the Fasttest rom on my Mytouch and it worked, I noticed I have full five bars now,, Thanks for this.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
the new radio helps a **** load.... was going at 200-300 download and upload now I am getting 700-800 mb/s wtf!!!!
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
Anyone tried over HBOOT-1.38.0000 (DREA20000) ???

Thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Gonna try this now :D
[G1 Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
What's the benefit of each SPL? I have Danger, but see a bunch of people having Death...

So should I stick with Danger or will I have a benefit to tossing on Death? Thanx!
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
Danger/Death are the same thing - just 2 nicknames for the same SPL.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Danger SPL = Death SPL, they are one and the same..
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
danger is death....
[G1 Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Awesome! Thanks guys. :)

So I guess I will only be flashing the radio today then. lol
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
says you!?!
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
compared to the vast majority of replies anyone will ever post - it is
[G1 Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
I think PsychoI3oy was actually referring to your HUGE signature ;) LOL
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
lol....i often do relatively large posts....

and the signature i was referring to was about 6 times the size of mine....

nice big screen shot and a whole lotta text

personally i think mine is rather tame compared to many others
[G1 Android Development] sadico:
just flash it thanks for the post...:D
[G1 Android Development] LTonthetrack_G1:
I Flashed the radio!!!

I FLASHED IT!!!!! and It WORKS!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYY!!! Also I am using Super D 1.9.3 :D
[G1 Android Development] mesh626:
is this radio just for the G1 or can i update this on my mytouch 3g 32b?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
dude...did u even read the op?

also if you click search this thread and type mytouch you get tons of results...with stuff like

"yes, the mytouch link works for 32B :D "
[G1 Android Development] LovellKid:
Just flashed on my mytouch3G and it works wonders. I would highly recommend this for MT3G users! Thanks once again...:D:D

Oh P.S. Danger SPL running SuperD 1.9.3 w Wes Garners beta kernel.
[G1 Android Development] t0mmy:
speedtest results show no improvement in data transfer speeds :eek:
[G1 Android Development] mesh626:
sorry about that im just new to these forums but thanks for the reply!
[G1 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
Currently using Htcclay's FastTest2.8LGV, with danger SPL.

Radio upgrade went without a hitch - but not noticed anything obvious yet, apart maybe from an extra bar on the 3G signal.
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
Working on a UK Vodafone Magic 32B running SuperD 1.9.3 with WG's kernel and JIT.

And I have to say, epic signal strength is epic. Sitting in my living room used to give me one bar of 3G, teetering precariously back to GPRS randomly. It's now holding steady at 4-5 bars of 3G. Very pleased.
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
Thanks man. I flashed it and it works.
[G1 Android Development] ultma75:
works great! improved my signal by 2 bars
[G1 Android Development] caravanquello:
Works fine here.

Little confirmation from here.

MyTouch aka HTC Magic 32B Vodafone Germany rooted with .5 SPL.

Flashed without any problems but no visual improvment yet.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
I flashed successfully.

I went from absolute zero service (ever) at my work desk to 2 bars!:D

Thanks for posting!
[G1 Android Development] mesh626:
anyone here that has flashed the new radio to a mt3g 32b? if so under broadband version does it still show the old radio for you?
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Flashed and working just fine ,im running G1 with MLIGN heroV3.2b. Thanks OP:D
[G1 Android Development] ma401:
Flashed on my G1 (running SuperD 1.9.3 w/WG kernel) and it went without a hitch.. did find that my phone seems to drop from 3G to EDGE in a ****ty service area (the elevators here at work) much faster than it did before and I still had some connectivity when it would normally just time out.

But maybe that's just me?
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
I can confirm that it works on the MyTouch 3G (32B). specs are in my sig :)
[G1 Android Development] vegaman:
If you mean baseband version, it shows the new radio for me.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Why isn't anyone else posting bandwidth speeds? Whoe cares if you get 1 extra bar?? We need some numbers.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Bandwidth of what?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
faster data now?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
me three ...
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Speedtest from my room. I get terrible connection in my room and I will do a speedtest tomorrow when I'm out. I do get 3G in my room now with the new radio which is nice :)
[G1 Android Development] georgefrs:
Just did a speed test with the new radio and I'm getting 3350kbps down, 790kbps up, 257ms pings. That's with full 3G signal with close range to a cell tower.

Might try downgrading tomorrow and doing some comparative tests from a few locations just to see what's what, but I think at those speeds the network/protocol is more of a limiting factor than the radio (not sure if my area is 3.6 or 7.2)!
[G1 Android Development] blunden:
If the Baseband version isn't updated then the flashing didn't go through. It should say extracting radio image, then you will get the option to reboot. It should then reboot into recovery again and flash the radio image. After this it should boot normally. If it doesn't reboot into recovery the first time you can try doing that yourself.

Probably because those numbers are pretty pointless. They are extremely dependent on the current total usage for your specific cell tower. The total bandwith is shared between all users of a tower. Reception is a little more meaningful at least, even if it can vary quite a bit too.
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
My bandwidth hasn't changed but I have noticed better reception anywhere I go. Can't wait till T-Mobile launches HSPA+ in my area. :D
[G1 Android Development] martinweston:
I can also confirm working with no issues after flashing. Curiosity got the better of me. Running "Donut by Laszlo". I also haven't went under full reception as of yet :)
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Correct, I would rather have reception than some fickle bandwidth numbers. If this gets my G1 to get reception in my office, it will be uber epic. I'll flash it tonight.
[G1 Android Development] elingreen:
i applied the new radio again atop a fresh wipe of Fest Test 2.8 and i went from 3 bars of 3g to full edge.

both at home and work, the new radio is worse for me, when i flash the old one, i instantly get my 3g back.

am i the only one having a bad time?

this is on a G1 in the greater Los Angeles area where i normally get 3g everywhere.
[G1 Android Development] prince34:
flashed and working fine on G1 with CM 4.2.14.1
[G1 Android Development] zer0day:
Updated here with no issues. Using G1 with Dwang's ROM.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
I had a similar issue with the GPS not working on the MultiTouch Maps. I opened the regular maps and it worked fine. After that, it began to work in the multitouch app, as well.
[G1 Android Development] blackerwater:
Hold up was this extracted from a European ROM (DRC92 to drd63)? can we confirm this will be the same radio image with T-mobile usa update? I know the radio image was the same for the last batch of updates but will this one be the same still? and does anyone have a link to T-mobile USA's new ROM thats currently in ota? I wanna rip it apart
[G1 Android Development] bonkasnucca:
not sure if this is a stupid question but since u just pulled the radio image from the dmd64 update..whats the rest of the update???nething important??wud it be a good idea to just flash the whole update??..curious b4 i flash this
