Hmm so maybe it is the same then...I am gonna try to edit my build prop file (gotta search, don't know which one it is) and I'll report back.

Call quality

no one is ever able to understand what I say via the phone I had flashed this rom to try to improve that but it only made it worse I own a mytouch 3g runnimg super d 1.8 with this radio is there a way to fix the calls quality preferably in a flashable way or through terminal
[G1 Android Development] Bronyr:
Here's another negative with the new radio:

sending gmail is taking much longer - sometimes for hours.

I'm tempted to reflash back to I26 just to prove the point. Incoming is just as fast.

Other than that - no real improvements in speed, signal strength or battery life in Canada (TO)
[G1 Android Development] Bronyr:
Went back to older radio I26 and here are the results:

Sending on gmail is pretty much immediate - very little waiting time (vs. long time on new radio)

Signal:

old radio - -89dbm/12 asu

new radio- -63dbm/25 asu

What I think it means theoretically my signal is better with new radio - but practically I haven't noticed any improvements.

Will monkey around with the two just to compare.

?

how do i downgrade on myTouch 3G i downloaded the file from the link on first post but it fails ,i think that files is only for G1 does anybody have the radio file for myTouch 3G ? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Bronyr:
Go to the very first post on this thread, there is a link at the bottom of it to download I26 older radio.

That's what I did, no issues, just follow the screen carefully and do what it tells you.
[G1 Android Development] yozpalang:
like I said I already tried that and it didn't work
[G1 Android Development] yozpalang:
Help please

can I use the radio image from the HTC here to downgrade ? the file that I downloaded from the link on the first post didn't work :confused: I looked at the update-script ( i'm not no programmer ) but i think that file is only for G1 because here is what it says in the update-script from the file off the HTC :

assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"

assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "dream" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "dream" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "sapphire" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "sapphire"

show_progress 0.5 0

write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img

show_progress 0.5 10

and here is the one from the one posted on the first post:

assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"

assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "dream" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "dream"

show_progress 0.5 0

write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img

show_progress 0.5 10

I tried it and it worked :D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] hotadef:
This radio work for me it gave me an extra bar seem to hold my 3g in places that would drop to edge at work. And i get full signal as soon as i come close to the entrance to leave work
[G1 Android Development] turtleman13:
Upgraded the to the new radio on my G1 with no issues and it has improve my signal alot
[G1 Android Development] Appce:
Test:

I just got so frustrated with my 3G connection in my office- I had to try the update (the phone is preforming well in other places). I use the phone as a modem with tethering (USB) so its crucial to have a fast internet connection...

On a good day and with the right position of the phone I get 2 bars, but when it drops to 1, everything slows down and jumps to Edge.

For me it is the ultimate test since I am struggling with this issue for few months now and I know exactly what to expect on each corner of my desk without the upgrade (2.22.19.26I).

After Updating the Radio (2.22.23.02):

unfortunately no improvement can be seen in signal strength, the only improvement is in the microphone clarity/volume.

someone mentioned placebo?
[G1 Android Development] tribalb:
this is far from placebo. this radio update does work. but im pretty sure it really depends on what part of metropolitan your from. for me this was a great update. for those maybe in the boonies. i dont know.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
Ummm...confused!

FIGURED IT OUT AND GOT IT WORKING!!

lol ...

LOVE THE UPDATE!
[G1 Android Development] Eliphas:
This radio works great, flashed yesterday AMAZING increase in reception.

I know have reception in school and in my basement.

Unbelievable keep up the work!
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
I was running 1.33.0006 w/ 2.22.19.26I!!

I didnt know whether to flash the radio or not because everyone else was on Danger..

Now im currently running ... 1.33.2005 w/ English SPL and the 2.22.23.02!

I did all the extra steps by flashing 1.33.2005 w/ English SPL and the 2.22.23.02 when i could have just flashed the update anyway!! GRRR!!

OH WELL! :)

Maybe the 1.33.0006 is stopping the update to fully work..

Oh is 1.33.0006 an actual updated spl??

I was reading somewhere that it could cause issues to flash a new radio on 1.33.0006 but idk for sure.
[G1 Android Development] Appce:
If you have MT3G with spl 1.33.0006 you dont need to do anything, I tried all kind of roms and no update was ever needed, usually the updated spl's are for the G1.

Its always better to do a thorough search in the forums since there is a good chance someone already had your problem/question.

Don't get me wrong- I'm happy with the new radio but I know it doesn't give you better reception. I'm going to check youtube for improvised antenna boost "devices".
[G1 Android Development] hotadef:
so far this had done increased my reception at work. tomorrow i will report back my son is in basketball league at a church this place i get no reception or very lil reception and kills my battery. im crossing my fingers
[G1 Android Development] NJAZ:
All this radio does is hold the 3G signal when the signal is low rather than handing it off to an EDGE connection. While this is useful when moving between towers it does not do anything to improve the signal while stationary in a poor coverage zone. I've tested and tested again to come to this conclusion. When it does hold the weak 3G signal the phone will show 2 bars and has virtually no data connectivity. This should be called the placebo radio update.
[G1 Android Development] epeets:
actually, I believe that test is pretty much speaking for just yourself. In my case I'm getting better reception (full bars) in most of the places I usually have no more than 2 and my 3g stays on and good way more than it did before. So it IS indeed giving better reception for many.
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
Yup....that's what I can see too,after weeks of testing.

I thought I was the only one.
[G1 Android Development] Appce:
Yep, you're not alone at all.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
My phone has gone into Edge with this radio. It stayed there a while too rather then switching between Edge and 3G continuously in an edge-case like the old radio did.

Furthermore, I tested my phones via the SPEEDTEST.NET app multiple times before and after the upgrade (with a fresh reboot, then waiting 3 min and killing all apps before testing) all at my home with 3-4 bars of 3G, my download speed doubles with this radio (300k-600k), and my upload speed is 10x (<30k on 5 tests before the upgrade and now >300k always at home).
[G1 Android Development] equid0x:
I haven't seen an change in speeds whatsoever. It does appear to show a 1 bar increase in fringe coverage areas, as well as changing the behavior of the 3G/2G handoff, but thats about it. I do notice that it seems to switch between 3G and 2G and back much faster than before, but I still see "flapping" between 3G and 2G in my apt where I get full coverage on 2G but 1-2 bars 3G. According to the received dbm on the info page, real received signal hasn't changed a bit, just the way the meter displays it, and the phone handles it.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
...

Well i already changed to the 1.33.2005 and i dont wana brick when trying to change back so i guess im stuck ..

but thanks and idk if the radio improved my reception either because i always had bars everywhere i went :) lol
[G1 Android Development] Valjoker:
reply

No longer dropping call at home where I get the worst reception. Haven't noticed a huge difference in data but that's not surprising since T-Mo just recently started 3g in my area. ( I only get 3g at work where im not supposed to be on the phone)

Thanks for posting the update it worked for me. To all those saying placebo I've read that the google link for some reason works better on most phones so you should try downgrading and loading that one.
[G1 Android Development] te_quiero_forever_girl:
My phone is currently running the latest Cyan ! Can you guys please let me know if my phone is eligible to flash this radio update or not ? Im so scared ! This is my only phone for now :((
[G1 Android Development] tribalb:
if you are scared then dont do it then
[G1 Android Development] chrisjunior:
well you can flash this on the later cyanogen. i did it and it worked.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
The ROM has nothing to do with radio compatibility. If you have a USA G1, you're good. If you have a Rogers Dream, don't flash it.
[G1 Android Development] hnsez:
arrghh

Neither link is working on my g1

The 1st 1 gives me a 42k file that is supposed to b 8mb

The docs link sends me to my google docs folder

Wtf
[G1 Android Development] sil3ncer7:
On the latest cyan and flashed to the new radio... I am in Missouri (TMO USA)... If your scared, I know how you feel, Just run a backup and make sure you have both radios on ur sd card. If the new radio doesn't work for you for some reason just reflash to the old radio.... and if that doesn't work, wipe just restore your nandroid backup...

Like I said I did it and it was fine.
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
Well the first link is a mediafire link. Not sure exactly why it's downloading the link and not the actual file. But they should work from your phone. The second links, the files are stored in my Google Docs storage. You would have to download it from a computer. (Don't know why some of you prefer to do everything from your phone...what if you mess up and you're not next to a computer?) Are you allowed to download files to your phone (ie. zips, docs, etc.), depending on which browser you're using, you might need to have a download assistant, like Download Crutch, or Astro File Browser to enable you to download "unsupported" files.

Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] excogitation:
just bricked my Vodafone de 32B with the mytouch version. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
What was your original radio version?
[G1 Android Development] boredpcguy:
Fear not, I just unrooted - it's still alive.

re-read..... this post isnt necessary.
[G1 Android Development] NJAZ:
I had stated in an earlier post that this radio hasn't done a lot to improve my connectivity and seems a bit like a placebo. At my apartment it has not changed anything; I still have signal issues. I do think this radio will hold onto the 3G signal longer while traveling between towers making for a more consistent 3G experience. Good things. What I forgot to say was ... thank you to the dev for making this radio available. I'm lucky to be part of such a dynamic community.
[G1 Android Development] PorchG1:
Ran a speed test and got about 400/400 for several runs. Installed radio update, now I am getting approx 1000/300 and it has not dropped 3G once.
[G1 Android Development] excogitation:
3.22.20.17
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
Okay. I cannot stress enough for any of you to at least read the first post. Not to sound...mean. But why would you flash a radio version 2.22.23.02 when your current one is 3.22.20.17? Is it a full brick, or do you have access to fastboot and/or recovery?
[G1 Android Development] spences10:
Hi, I’m a UK Vodafone HTC Magic user and a flashed the latest radio [2.22.23.02] when it was released – it was fine for the first few weeks I have been using it but over the past several days I have noticed that I cannot connect to the internet at all unless I have a 3g connection and even when I do have 3g it flits between g & 3g making trying to load your twitter feed an absolute nightmare with failed loads.

This may not necessarily be the new radio and there could be environmental factors such as general network coverage being down.

Anyway for the time being I have gone back to radio 2.22.19.26I I have done some initial speed tests and it looks like my old radio is faster

Watch this space.
[G1 Android Development] dynamisoz:
This radio is working wonders for me....in my living room and bedroom i get full bars for 3g. never had full, b4.

whats more impressive is that when i go to my friends house i never get 3g...NEVER!!!.........but after this radio update...2bars of 3g..awesome!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] excogitation:
not sure about the 3.22.20.17 - but after getting rid of the perfect SPL with a gold card you have the wrong radio (32A) afaik - so I had to get rid of it.
[G1 Android Development] spences10:
Ok – went to bet last night with full charge on my phone, put it into airplane mode as I usually do – woke up this morning and no charge!!

This has never happened before when I have been using this radio [2.22.19.26I] I will keep the same radio today and tomorrow to test connectivity and reception ‘drop outs’ and report back.
[G1 Android Development] traspler:
I had vastly improved connectivity and connection robustness with this radio BUT the data connection it displayed, often didn't work so I had to reconnect all the times to get it working.

Reverted back to the old one and the connection is working again.
[G1 Android Development] spences10:
Hey that’s my exact same issue – going to stick with my old one too for time being. Hopefully Vodafone UK/HTC will release in the next 2.0 release.

Whenever that may be.
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:
Same as me! How do I revert back? The radio I tried to flash failed (26I). I guess it was the wrong one for the mt3g.
[G1 Android Development] spences10:
Hi – did you flash a zip from recovery? If so and it failed then try flashing from fastboot

- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.

- Put the radio.img in the AndroidSDK>Tools folder

- Fastboot your mobile and connect it via USB :

Open cmd prompt

Code:

F: [the drive i have AndroidSDK installed]

cd F:\HTCMagic\AndroidSDK\tools [the path i have AndroidSDK installed]

fastboot devices [if it returns your phone serial then you can run the next line]

fastboot flash radio radio.img
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
It worked for me :)
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:
I downloaded the file from the htc site (same name) and it worked.

I was doing it in recovery btw.

My signal doesn't seem to be as good as what it used to be :(

On both radio's too!
[G1 Android Development] Imperial.mack:
had to revert, kept getting disconnected
[G1 Android Development] rudypooh:
Mine works fine. Tryin to edit the sapphire.prop to get it to say "h"
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I've been using the the 2.22.23.02 radio since it first came out, but on the stock SPL. I know plenty of people that already had the DangerSPL switched to this radio with no problems.

My question is has anyone switched from the stock SPL to Danger while having the latest radio update already installed?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I want to say it should be fine BUT I do not want to brick your phone. The best advice I can give you is to flash the 26I radio, then flash the spl, flash a rom, then flash this radio
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
You don't need DangerSPL any more,

Well, hopefully soon you won't need it..

check New - Stk SPL ROMs with Danger SPL size & extra 30mb! any SPL!

for some further detail, its young but I hope it will be adopted by all Devs

I have Modded two Requires Danger ROMs, Complete Eclair and Kings Eris Port
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Well that's a PITA, but I'll do it if that's what it takes to avoid a brick. Thanks for the info!

I'll admit that most of what is discussed there is gibberish, but if it allows folks to avoid using DangerSPL altogether, I'm all for it.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
the whole idea of avoiding the danger SPL is gibberish IMO, why are people so scared of a brick? You can't possibly brick your phone if you flash the SPL in the correct procedure.

Edit: Hell I didn't even know what a brick was when I first flashed it! and rooted all the same day, one month or so after purchasing the g1.....no experience, simply followed directions
[G1 Android Development] bragaster:
hi, i've tried for 2 two times to update the radio image, but never happened... i followed instructions but still nothing? i have the hboot 1.33.2005
[G1 Android Development] pudgedaddy:
Not sure why this is not updating for me. Ran the zip in amon ra's 1.6.2 recovery. rebooted, got the HTC screen, then the G1 screen, then back into recovery. Then home+back to reboot back into my ROM. checked the radio and still on the 26I radio version. Odd
[G1 Android Development] spences10:
hi, take a look at post #844
[G1 Android Development] pudgedaddy:
Thanks man that worked. I saw that post earlier, but since it was for the 26I, i was nervous about trying it with the newest one.
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Because I never used fastboot before, here's some amplifying instructions to get into it, thanks spences for the instructions to flash the radio =D

- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.

- Put the radio.img in the AndroidSDK>Tools folder

- Fastboot your mobile by turning off the phone and then holding the camera button while you turn it back on

- You should be at a white screen, called the bootloader

- Press the 'return' key to enter Fastboot mode:

Open cmd prompt

Code:

F: [the drive i have AndroidSDK installed]

cd F:\HTCMagic\AndroidSDK\tools [the path i have AndroidSDK installed]

fastboot devices [if it returns your phone serial then you can run the next line]

fastboot flash radio radio.img
[G1 Android Development] mittolo:
hi guys, i have the danger spl (Hboot-1.33.2005 (drea20000)) and i want to return to the stock spl for the warranty, i read this radio is good with the stock spl, if i flash this radio and then the stock spl i don't brick my dream right?

this is a italian htc dream, is good also for this model?...

sorry for my bad english :D
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
thanks for this, just saw this new radio today xD

nway i flashed and works good

*signal is really great :)
[G1 Android Development] Jugstah:
Has anyone tried hex editing the radio.img file to replace the version string with the version string rogers is looking for to keep your data active? I did find the version string via a hex editor but it could of course be stored in other ways i cannot easily see.
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I would not recommend hex-editing the radio unless you're looking for materials to build a wall.
[G1 Android Development] Jugstah:
Replacing one version string with another should not be an issue if its the same length. Of course the whole idea working depends on that bit of memory being presented to rogers.

None the less, so long as its flashed with fastboot should that be an issue? Could you not flash a completely hosed radio in fastboot if you chose and then just fastboot flash another onto there no issue or am i missing something? I thought the brick problem now has been confirmed to be only devices stuck in recovery boot.
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I don't know enough about the role of the radio in the boot process to answer that. I think the radio contains the IPL, so flashing a bad one would potentially brick you much harder than a mode3 brick, but I'm not sure on that anymore.. You should probably pose the question to ezterry since he's been lifting the radio/spl's skirt and having a fiddle.
[G1 Android Development] Jugstah:
Good idea i'll ask in that thread.
[G1 Android Development] maichants20:
hello every one,

i have flashed my black G1 with this new radio update and i have brick my phone.

I used version 2.22.19.26I. and I use the CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1. Now when I turn the phone remains locked on the logo of the T-Mobile G1.

help me please.

my phone is rooted
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
What happens when you turn the phone off. And then try to turn it on by holding Home + Power?
[G1 Android Development] maichants20:
I fall to the recovery menu
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
So, technically, your phone is not bricked. From the recovery menu, you should probably do a wipe and then reload your custom rom. Generally, this is an easy fix.

[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Has anyone noticed a that "cell standby" battery use increases significantly after switching to this radio (in "Battery Use")? With the old 26I radio, "display" was by far the highest item on the list, but now cell standby is at the top with usage in the mid 40's%.

Major battery drain for cell standby and voice calls on SuperD 1.10.x. Considering going back to the previous radio.
[G1 Android Development] legend221:
I am taking a BOLD step in seeing if the connectivity issues I am experiencing has anything to do with the latest radio, maybe not but I will be the guinea pig for the others that have or are experiencing issues.

I just now reverted back to 2.22.19.26I to see if the occasional disconnection issues with 3G forcing me to use 2G almost exclusively has anything to do with that.
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
Im on Blue Haze's rom using the original mytouch 32B with the stock SPL(1.22.0006) and radio(u_2.22.19.26I)... Now I got an OTA from tmobile about improving my call performance buy im not sure if that is for the new radio... Am I able to download the update through tmobile or do I download the radio through the link posted?
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I'm not a heavy phone user. Just checked battery stats and see

- Cell Standby 41%

- Phone Idle 41%

- Bluetooth 17%

I can usually go ~2 days between charges.

I'm going to go back to the old radio for kicks and see what kind of stats I have after a few days.... will report back over the weekend.

FWIW, I have no expectations of seeing better or worse results.. but worth testing.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Your beating a dead horse....this radio doesn't affect anything except audio enhancements for call quality (Officially confirmed by Tmobile)...and the illusion of having more bars than you used to in the same exact area.
[G1 Android Development] Destriant:
But does it hurt battery life is the question.
