After 2 times having to pull the battery (in 3 day's) du to a random dead phone. Never had that with old radio

I flashed back to old radio (2.22.19.26I)

Waiting for official new radio.

Don't know... but this "new" unofficial radio doesn't feel good. :o
[G1 Android Development] :
And?

Just saying, **** it could just be a disgruntled employee who decided he hated the world!

I just think people are to fast to flash around here without having ANY information. Just check the first two pages for confirmation of that lol
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I can't stand your posts because they are SO OPINIONATED but made out to be fact and never have a GRAIN of data to back them up.

This radio is official and it has been released OTA and you would know that if you took the time to search for the facts before denouncing EVERY SINGLE THING that comes your way and applying your own OPINION to it and then putting it off as FACT.

HERE YOU GO - OFFICAL T MOBILE FORUM - LOOK AT THE TOP
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Have you considered the possibility of flashing different roms and wiping the battery stats?

If not...then maybe try calibrating your battery....Fully charge it...boot into recovery...wipe battery stat....let ur battery drain till ur phone dies before chargin it again....and then charge it fully before unplugging....let me know how that goes for ya....
[G1 Android Development] :
God you bore me :D

When first put on the forum no-one had a clue where it came from really so hush your mouth.

And I said it was a thought not a fact of self righteous one, go play in traffic or something!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Atta boy...your always right.....

Oh and you quote Wikipedia. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] :
Never quoted wiki yet and wouldn't.

Now read point three in my sig and pm me later to remind me to give a **** :D
[G1 Android Development] :
why should I flash this?
[G1 Android Development] bfikkert:
Flashed a lot of Roms and allways wipe battery stats.

But now you mention it, last time I did the battery calibration a long time ago.

Thank for mention this. I'll try it. See what it brings.
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
I just updated. It seems to flucuate a bit. It was typically 1-2 bars on my desk. Now it can go to 3bars and rarely 4bars. Most of the time is usually 2-3 bars now. However, there is no 3g. I only get edge. Very weak edge, pretty useless. Luckly for me I can connect to wifi. I'll have to check call quality later.
[G1 Android Development] grandomegabosses:
Nobody's forcing you. It's your choice. I did and I personally am experiencing better signal overall, or at least my phone seems to think I'm getting better signal. Other people's results would tend to agree with this.
[G1 Android Development] jdstankosky:
Oh No! Stuck at T-Mobile G1 Screen for 45 minutes! Going to redownload from google link and check md5 and retry this...

EDIT:

Correct MD5 Sum, followed the stupid-easy instructions, G1 screen for an hour... Reverting back to the older one unless someone has any ideas
[G1 Android Development] bigdbag:
It seems this is indeed giving better reception. In my house's basement, I leave my phone on my desk in specific places and at a certain angle to get that 1 little bar of signal to send/receive text messages. After flashing the new radio, I am getting a single steady bar of reception regardless of where I place my phone, and at certain angles I get 2 bars of reception!

TL;DR: went from 0-1 bar to 1-2 bars in house basement.

Not sure if this radio update affects wifi reception, will report back later.
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
I got 4Bars and 3G all day... And I live in a basement apartment......

Woohoo.....
[G1 Android Development] jdstankosky:
Ok, I can't get my phone to boot at all now, on either radio... :( :( :( Help me please, someone?

Gtalk: john.stankosky@gmail.com

EDIT:

Nevermind, I installed the new Radio, got stuck at the G1 screen, wiped, re-installed Super D + WG, and it worked!
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
I had a weirdest thing happen to me tonight. I flashed new radio 2 days ago and tonight at home my network icon suddenly dissapeared, but I was getting online as usual and making calls with an X instead of icon and no bars at all. So, I looked at settings and tried to find any networks. Got an error message. Then the icon came back and T-Mobile sign. Was it new radio related?
[G1 Android Development] jakijal:
i heard tmo themselves had some sort of data outage or something like that. it only affected like 5% of customers. so maybe you were part of the lucky 5. lol.

ive had this radio for about 3 days already and nothing strange yet. so i dunno what else to tell you.
[G1 Android Development] g1DDriver:
Radio and Wifi

Does radio affects Wifi? Cause now I have better WIFI reception, and want to figure out what is the cause of that - placebo effect, new radio or smth else :confused:

With new radio: +1 bar in 3g, d/u speed drops a little bit, pings are definitely better (but skype through fringe are still laggy)
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I unexpectedly noticed increased Wi-Fi performance too. Both reception and connection times are better. I wonder why it took HTC a full year and a half after releasing the G1 to finally perfect the radio. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
++1 better WiFi reception (from neighbor)
[G1 Android Development] Super Jamie:
Flashed this onto my G1 with DangerSPL, went on no worries and everything's come back up ok. Haven't run any tests.
[G1 Android Development] worldestroyer:
I've had mildly better battery life since flashing, but I think it's more apparent due to the fact I go into areas of no reception for long periods of time. It's faster overall and I have moderately better wifi. My only issue is that edge craps out a lot, 3g works awesome but half the time edge has bars but I get no internet
[G1 Android Development] SDeba:
Flashed without any problems.

I've noticed that 3G and EDGE are faster and i've reached +1 bar at home (3G) and also +1 bar at school (EDGE).
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Wow, that's so weird the same thing happend to me... I freaked... lol
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i had the "3G Tmobile" on my lock screen for about ten minutes, then back to just "Tmobile" ever since
[G1 Android Development] blackerwater:
I heard a rumor that T-mobile is trying to launch there hspa 21mps network by march 15th in select markets hence the new radio update . But im still waiting on the ota from tmobile to show up to verify the radio string will be the same as this one that was extracted from a European ROM....
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Researched it andddd......Here ya go friend....check out the first post.
[G1 Android Development] blackerwater:
good to know thanks. but still no link to the ota? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
And a little more research....yields us this.

Top 2 threads talk about the new OTA update.
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
ok, so now its about the same time as last night and my data is gone....... any one else having this issue??????
[G1 Android Development] volcomnator999:
im on at&t and i have noticed about a bar increase in my signal. so far so good here. btw im in the los angeles area. torrance, ca to be exact
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
My batt is defiantly better...Got more hrs on 3G only plus the bars too...
[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
I was having an odd issue with my service lately and this feels like it fixed it. Battery life seems the same to me. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] 1337rolla:
installed this update last night and wow...

my wifi reception has gone from 1 bar @ 30ft from router to 3 bars
[G1 Android Development] fredxclaus:
Radio update is only for 5 cities in the US
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
You mean, the HSPA+ update is rolling out for only 5 cities this month. Keep in mind, T-Mobile has officially stated that HSPA+ will be completely rolled out by the end of 2010. 5 cities in Q1 is a good start.
[G1 Android Development] adelco93:
ok, so i just wipe, flash and reboot? that should be sufficiant right. no need to reflash my rom
[G1 Android Development] jakijal:
i dont think you need to wipe. i believe flashing the radio will wipe it for you anyway. but, you can if you want to make sure. i dont think i manually wiped.
[G1 Android Development] adelco93:
k so i just flashed
[G1 Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
Works great; better signal everywhere.

I was able to carry on a Google Talk chat conversation with my wife while walking through the underground corridors between the large buildings in downtown Seattle with zero bars showing. Not once did I get disconnected. This was impossible with earlier radio firmware.

Was able to have a phone conversation with 1-2 bars while in an elevator. Would get disconnected with earlier radio firmware.

No delays in SMS messaging while at the office (22nd floor of Ranier Tower in Seattle). Previous firmware would cause my messages to be delayed for up to 8 hours (basically until I left work and/or rebooted my phone).
[G1 Android Development] krosseyed@gmail.com:
I can concur, this new radio is very very nice. I used Fring and was only getting 1 bar, and the conversation was clear as day. Even turning on GPS and WIFI are faster with this radio, now I do not have too feel obligated to keep these things on since it switches fast now.
[G1 Android Development] bengar:
I did it, thank you phreke for your contribution of the scene. I have a G1 with SapphireSenseMaxisma2.0. with the Haykuro SPL, RA-dream-v1.6.2 and this new radio. No problem upgrading.

bengar
[G1 Android Development] Kline:
Flashed to my G1 with no issue and my wife's (newly rooted) MT3G. Her MT3G was running this update prior to my downgrade/root/upgrade on it, and is now happily back at the radio it started with after picking up the older version in the process :)
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Just wanted to say thanks to phreke!
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Just flashed this, no problems. Will report back if i notice any signal strength, less dropped calls, etc...
[G1 Android Development] BlackTigerX:
I tested the reception yesterday.

In an area where I got about 1-2 bars before with unstable data connection, I now get the full 4 bars constantly without data failures!

That's amazing but also sad to see how "broken" the Magic was with the old radio.
[G1 Android Development] n171n:
Thanks for this mate
[G1 Android Development] reuthermonkey:
indeed - thanks! Reception seems to be a bit better. Data speeds are the same though.
[G1 Android Development] HEADEKBATEH:
Hello,

If someone can help me. I have problem with this radio update. I'm don't have good connectivity and sometime no signal at all. Please if someone know how to downgrade radio from 2 22 23 02 to 2 22 19 26 l and can give me links to the old radio update.

Thank you in advance.
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
Great progress

With this firmware, I have 3G at my grandma's. Before I would get nothing. Hooooooly **** xD

Not only that, but the 3G speeds at my grandma's place are FASTER than what I used to get at my house with good signal strength.

I would usually get 75 kB/s with 4 bars. Now I'm getting 100-130 kB/s with only 2 bars. Great progress :D
[G1 Android Development] lbingham:
Seems Solid

I've been using this for about a week now and I can say it's pretty solid. I'm on SuperD 1.9.3 with WG kernel. I did have one time where I watched my signal drop and then wifi dropped and came back up all in about a minute. Other than that, my batter life is much better. I have Set CPU go to 128-128 while it's sleeping and I get about a 20% drop over 4 hours with normal use. Cell Standby kills only about 43% of my battery instead of 47% now! LOL

I give it a thumbs up.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that signal strength does seem a little better.
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
how do i get this on a phone with no root
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
For the 2.22.19.26I radio, go HERE (Direct Link). This is the website. Just put the zip file on the root directory of your sdcard, rename it "update.zip" if you like, then flash like regular.
[G1 Android Development] e.japonica:
work on G1 32b?
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
anyone have bluetooth issues? Today, I was listening to music on A2DP and tried to reply to a message in Work Email. The phone got dog slow and Work Email had to ANR to FC. It didn't reboot, but I couldn't do much until I freed up some more memory with ATM.
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
Sorry if this was covered, I read the first 21 pages, and its confirmed that it has no issues with Danger/Death SPL. I am still running Stock engineering SPL. Should I upgrade, or will I be fine flashing?

EDIT

Been reading more, found out I should be fine.

Flashed and immediately noticed a gain in signal strength.
[G1 Android Development] rizoh66:
Does this work on the MT3G? Tried flashing and install aborted...
[G1 Android Development] phreke:
What was the full error message?
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Go here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html and grab the radio image for Android 1.6, then follow the instructions below the download area. This is HTC's developer site. I've used this radio image on my MT3G and had no problems. But as always I will warn you that YOU are responsible for any damage that may occur by flashing this radio image. Do your research first and flash last!!
[G1 Android Development] rizoh66:
Thanks, it flashed with no issues. My concern was that as of this morning I haven't had a 3G connection. It would say 3G and I would have full bars, but no connection. I called T-Mob and they haven't had any outages reported. My wife's Dash 3G is able to connect via 3G. I have to go into settings and click the "use only 2G network" to get any kind of data. Flashing the old radio didn't fix it either. I've done the wipe thing as well as taken the sim card out with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
This is apparently some unexplained phenomenon around here....I have tried to bring it up in a few places but nobody is able to reproduce the issue consistently....

Mine went out one day...(BTW this was before this radio was even made). I believe I was on FastTest when it went out...I had just flashed it....I couldn't get on the web with my phone (though I pay for unlimited data). I called T-mobile and did all that....anyway I ended up on the phone with one of their "Android Support Specialists" and he basically closed my account and then opened it again....at least I think that is all he did...we got cut off when closed my account (obviously)...

Even that didn't fix it...but at some point it just started working again...I must have flashed five roms that day trying to get it to work....Super D, Open Eclair, one of Kings Eclair builds, and Fast Test.

Again...I really have no clue what causes it or fixes it...and I have tried to search and ask around but its a mystery...
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
For basic trouble shooting you should try your sim in another phone. Then make sure for certain you have the correct apn settings. They are as follows:

Name: T-Mobile (or whatever you want really)

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

If the problem persists then your sim could be bunk. I had this happen to my MT3G and had to get another sim at the local store. In my case however I could not get any data signal at all.
[G1 Android Development] rizoh66:
Ah-ha! I flashed FastTest last night and this happened to me this morning. So we know it has to do with flashing that particular rom. Did T-Mob offer a replacement device at all?
[G1 Android Development] akycia:
3G issues

Anyone tried using this with King's new eclair 1.7.1?.... I'm at work, so i haven't gone out and about to make sure of it, but it seems that my phone is stuck on Edge, and wont switch over to 3G.

Have full bars on edge, and normally it would be 1-2 at work, but I would also normally pick up 3G if my edge was up around 3 bars... Just wondering if there is a rom that will work with this for sure? Cyan maybe?

using G1/death spl
[G1 Android Development] heybobitsme:
Hey, where did you get MMS Protocol? I don't see that on my g1. Is that setting on a MT3G?
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Okay people I might have a suggestion. I think a few weeks ago I might have had a similar problem, but being I change things on my phone so often I sometimes forget how I fixed it and what the problem was as well. So all of a sudden it hit me. If you open your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* you will be taken to the testing app, select "Phone information" and scroll down to the "Set preferred network type" and make sure it says "WCDMA preferred". I had mine somehow mysteriously switch to "gsm only" and that tripped me up for a little while. I sometimes use this app to lock on to 3G when I can't stand the phone switching back and forth from edge to 3g.

[G1 Android Development] heybobitsme:
Oh ok. I thought that looked weird. :)

I have to agree that when you lose data for no reason the sim is dying. I've gone through 3 or 4 in the time I've had my G1, and 2 of those were when it was stock! :D
[G1 Android Development] nrmerritt:
Yeah facepalm over here..lol
[G1 Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ya but that's a neat little trick with the dialer! :D

Android and Me Feature

Aw, that's nice. My update is featured on Android and Me. Of course, I'm only known as "some guy," but, it's kind of cool.
[G1 Android Development] Bronyr:
Upgraded OK; but there was a scary moment instead of usual MyTouch logo I got HTC; it all went well following the screen (reboot - it will go back to recovery so you can continue with whatever you want - wipe, reload etc...)

I have not notice any difference in signal strength in usual problem areas. And battery life is just as crappy as it always was.
[G1 Android Development] tehninjo0:
Duh, some guy... what else should you be known as other than some guy?? After all, you're some guy. Gosh! I wish some guy would explain that to you already, some guy! ;P

Thanks for this though, everything went smoothly on MT3G with Complete Eclair 1.2.
[G1 Android Development] DrKaufee:
background: I usually have 3g turned off for most of the day (for better battery life)

upgrade: Easy as could possibly be.

Experience: 2 bars of edge when sitting in my room before, 3-4 bars sitting in my room now. Could be a coincidence but it definitely didn't hurt my reception!
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
PHREKE!!!! I credited you in the video (sidebar) since I couldn't go in an rerecord all over again. =p

Thanks again for this! People are going CRAZY over it!!! =D

If you guys want to see my video on how to install (as if there is any confusion)

[G1 Android Development] DrLfresh81:
Im going IN - F It lol
[G1 Android Development] DrLfresh81:
I Did It

no biggie, everything is fine - so stop praying is not a problem people.
[G1 Android Development] rizoh66:
Ok, so my 3g is just going in and out on a full signal. It takes a really long time to load a simple webpage and it wont download any apps from the market, not even an update. I have used both the new and the old radio with no luck. Reboot after reboot, wipe after wipe to no avail. And yes I've done the whole *#*#4636#*#* thing as well as check my sim card in a different phone. Has anyone else had any such luck in getting this issue resolved?
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
You know what, I'm going in too.
[G1 Android Development] Chapsticky:
Worked out okay...

I flashed this about 2 days ago, and its working just fine for me.

I'm running the Super-D 1.9.3 NRH rom,

at first in my house I was getting 1-2 bars with 3g, running the speed test I was able to hit 700kb dl and 450 ul speeds.

Now with the new radio update I get 3-4 bars with 3g, running the speed test now I hit 1000kb dl and 560 ul speeds. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
Didn't check speeds, but bars seem to be the same. I too am running Super-d 1.9.3 NRH! Twins! But yea, it seem to be working great. Woot!
[G1 Android Development] QaeadarDAzeal:
I'm trying to dl this directly to my phone from the links in the first post, and can't seem to. Nothing shows up at the google link, and I've never been able to dl from Mediafire to my phone. Does anyone have a mirror link that I can use?
[G1 Android Development] brentlacydotcom:
Radio Update = No Market?

I flashed the update, everything went awesome. Better throughput and signal, best I could tell. The only hitch is that I can't seem to access The Market

I get :

Access Blocked:

Sorry , your wireless account does not have permission to access this application.

Data functions work fine (web/facebook/twitter apps) over edge and wifi

Ideas?
[G1 Android Development] dorandroid:
Will this work on Magic 32A?????
[G1 Android Development] chris6551:
new radio

I flashed this about 2 days ago and I have notice a huge difference in my signal. At home i usually get 1 to 2 bars, but now I am getting full bars and my phone call seem way clearer, woot woot.
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
definitely worth it never switches to edge now super fast gettin crazy values at speedtest.com highest was 25mbs which doesnt make sense but its fast
[G1 Android Development] Blueoval24:
Wow...am I the only one that didn't really see an improvement of anything with this new radio?
[G1 Android Development] :
Nope in fact it was so not doing anything I flashed straight back to 26I.
[G1 Android Development] Blueoval24:
Oh ok good. Didn't want to play devils advocate but I was hearing all these success stories and was feeling left out lol.
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
For the record, I've seen zero difference in this radio so far except that it updates the batt level. Lot more accurately. Service seems abt the same so far for the 48hrs I've had it
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
I'm not sure how people are testing but...

I kept my phone IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT in my house. Did a speedtest.

Flashed the radio. Did another speedtest.

Faster downloads and more bars. Everyone I know who flashed it got the same results.

More bars in more places =)

XOXO -Chris
[G1 Android Development] RedNas74:
Just flashed 2.22.19.26I back. My 3G connection became very unstable with the new radio. I often lost connection, and it took a few minutes to get it back.

All is well now again :)
[G1 Android Development] hotweiss:
I would also like to know?
[G1 Android Development] tsnow247:
I've lost all 3G after this update. It worked for a while, all of yesterday as a matter of fact. But today nothing...

At first I thought it was the SIM, but now I'm not so sure. I'll give the SIM a little longer to finish updating. (Had a spare)

But I might end up switching back to 26i. Which is a bummer because I did see a difference in reception. And also noticed a difference in reliability in data speed. (more reception=better quality)

Did anyone else just loose all Data? Cause I don't want to switch back...
[G1 Android Development] rizoh66:
+1. I lost it yesterday and have yet to get it back. Please please please let us know how to get it back! Btw, I switched back and still have the exact same issues with 3G.
