I doubt it really has one. There is a version of the RUU tool floating around that is being incorrectly flagged by a few of the bigger antivirus tools. No one has reported any infections from using it, and it passes scans by most other antivirus software.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
I noticed, every night I re-insert the files in the download folder, maybe i will just post the files without the "customRUU", the you guys will have to use ur own RUU, which you can simply copy and paste into the radio folder (i.e.from another rom).

I had to add the CustomRUU to my virus ecception list, however, it really does not contain a virus.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
I am using the same radio, no problems for me. A friend of mine reprted to me that the previous radio (2.11...26...) works better for him in the area, however, he is totaly new at this.... 2.12.... gives me bettter battery life so far, however, i might give 2.11.....26... a try again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Not sure about phily, work try them out. Start with the latest one, then go to the next latest one, etc. let me know what works good for you.

I don,t think you need to try more than the latest 4 radios.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Welcome. Hopefully I can make it a regular thing answering more questions.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
The explanation is in the last few posts. The fileserver uses Kapersky virus scan which like avira and a few others flags the CustomRUU file as a virus.

Just copy a CustomRUU from somewhere elsi into that radio folder (the one you want to flash).

Philly, PA radio

So i have just tried out 2.12.50.02_2 which seems to be quite the same as the original radio i had earlier(2.12.50.02). Does seem to take the battery out twice as fast as the original, same amount of coverage. Going to try 2.11.50.20.

Quick question? the newer the radios don't necessarily mean the latest and best one? right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Yes, I agree simster007, a new radio might not be good for your area.

Has anyone tested the new rado 2.14...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] laafiera:
Going strong for me on second day now!!

There is a whole discussion going on about this radio here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lazybumx:
here is my two cents

well we have 2 hd2 in the house, both running energy rom and darkstone(or close to that, forgot his name sorry) Sense V2 android.

both were using

2.14.50.04

my experience with it is that

in Android Signal: i frequently lost signal in my area, the bar is usually 1 bar or none at all, rarely pop up to 4 bars but dropped after that

in Android Battery: this is my first radio flash so dont really know how it different from other, but i checked in the battery usage in the setting section, Radio was the one that consume the most battery.

Havent used WInMo for awhile so i cant say anything about, one thing i noticed is that, the radio is actually a LITTLE (only Little) bit better than in Android

so i flashed one of the phone with

Leo_Radio_2.12.50.02_2

and here is what i think

Android Signal: MUCH MUCH BETTER for me, signal bar stayed at 3 and often go to 4!!!!!! which is awesome.

Android Battery: hmm not sure yet, just flashed it couple minutes ago, ill check it out when my battery is back to 100% and see how fast it goes down from there.

In WinMo: Dont know for sure (cause i booted to android after), noticed its about the same with 2.14.50.04 when boot up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Thanks for the input. Have you tried TMOs older stock radio (2.10.50.26_2)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lazybumx:
i think thats what my phone had when i bought it, dont take my word for it but im sure it starts with 2.10.50.* not sure the last one. It was kinda not good in my opinion, on my blackberry, i got full bar always at my house, with the phone and that radio (running in window, hadnt flashed anything to it yet). maybe 1 or 2 bar, often zero bar. But again i am not sure the last number, i know there a couple radio start with 2.10.50. so dont know which one i had lol.

anyway, my hd2 is fully charge now, ill report back later on the battery usage with radio 2.12.50.02_2 on my phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZetaiZetsubou:
So far so good with radio 2.14.50.04

Just flashed 2.14.50.04 from 2.12.50.20_2

so far so good, signal strength SEEMS to be improved....able to buffer high quality youtube no problem using H/3g in a place where i usually am unable to get 3gorH

still testing battery life, haven't gone through a charge cycle yet....

I'm in the minneapolis area.

as for battery life.... I'm running BsB tweaks power saving as well as enabling power management through sd_card regtweaks....

I also updated to the latest energy rom that is based off of 3.14.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
So far I see to have simlar results. We will see about battery life, I just unplugged my ph from a nights charge (flashed new radio last night).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wrecless:
does anyone else have this problem with 2.14. My calls are choppy the vioces go in and out and sometimes calls never even come threw. But the 3g/H speeds are great. Better than any radio i'v tried so far. Is there a fix for this or should i just reflash the 2.12 radio?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Battery life is worse with radio 2.14... going back to 2.12...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Similar issues here. The actual conecting signal fluctuates more, sometimes I have to repeat what I said to my customers.

2.12... seems to be best so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] esmiling:
Battery Life and Signal strength seems to be the best ever for me with the 2.14 radio and im in the San Diego area
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
I can't decide whats better...2.12 or 2.14? It's a tough call.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tjmm:
For me...the 2.12 is better! About 1% for 2 hours (stand by, no phone calls, no internet, no messagers).

I didn't test the 2.14!

My ROM: Duttys creme de la creme v14 ptg!

Thiago.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaarry:
2.14 seems to have a better signal while having no more drain for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
It looks like 2.12 is better, at least for my area.

Less batt drain also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tjmm:
I will try 2.14 and to compare! Lets see the better: 2.12 or 2.14! :D

Thiago.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZetaiZetsubou:
Ok, so after about 4-5 charge cycles.... I feel that the battery is a lot better than 2.12.50.02_2 in the minneapolis area + Energy rom (based off 3.14 drivers and kernel; Sept 23/24).

so my usage is as follows...

using tBattery:

with phone off (not searching for signal) my phone sips about -2 (not sure what unit this is) during standby.....

with phone on, it uses about (-4)~(-6)

while using the phone...(with signal on) it can be anywhere between (-140)~(-180)

with active data connections... It jumps to about (-220)

that's an example....

~I do NOT run push mail, only exchange on my contacts (which i designate to sync manually)

however, I have two email accounts fetching mail at 2 hour intervals...

~I run weather updates at 3 hour intervals

~I have location service on

~wi-fi does not seem to be a large factor.... unless i'm transferring packets...

~my screen is on auto brightness..

~my cpu is always at 1ghz (LeoCpuSpeed)

~I have 3 pages on cht filled with icons, I run weather animation....

I have applied sd_memory card power management, as well as enabling BsB Power Saving Status....

My usage times vary....

I generally unplug at 8AM - 8PM - still have about 60-70% of VERY minimal use.... sending some text messages, making phone calls, browsing a little, checking email.... I walk in and out of buildings often which makes me lose signal... so it might affect power draw....

*I could probably get a whole lot more usage if i turned on airplane mode in a building when I have no signal*

1 hour of music drains about 15-20% battery.... Something is wrong there...

1 hour of music with 30 min of that time web browsing drains about 30% battery....

I have not yet tested battery standby times overnight with constant signal..

Will update to energy rom 29 which apparently switches back to the "usual Leo driver base"

see what happens....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
Thanks for the update. I need to switch to the new rom also since android gives me that robo voice.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tieuphi:
For me, the best radio for my T-mobile HD2 is 2.14ver (at least today now) :)

Compare with 2.12 version, 2.14 has less battery drain though it brings weaker signal than 2.12 also, but it's difficult to see that.

I decide to keep 2.14 version for my HD2 after 5 days usage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jasonatr0n:
So, I have the stock radio (I think) that came with my HD when I purchased it a few months ago - 2.08.50.08_2

I have flashed the device a few times and am currently using an older build of EnergyROM. I want to flash the phone with the latest build, so my question is do I update the radio to the latest? Does it matter? Looks like most people like the 2.12 version.

I'm with Dutty creme de la creme ROM, v14. I did't test the new one ROM. But...for me, for while, the best RADIO is the 2.12.50.02_2. I tested the 2.14, but the 2.12 has the better performance and battery save!

My ROM has 3.13 Stock ROM base! I don't know, but I think with a 3.14 Stock ROM base, maybe, the 2.14 is better!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dornstar:
I've had a lot of issues with the 2.14 radio. Battery has been good, but not great. The problem though is with the signal. I get a solid 3-4 bars 98% of the time, but on the other 2%, I pretty much have no signal.

Hd2+2.2=bad wifi?

Hi all - I know this must be on here someplace -

I have an HD2 (second one bought for CL) and the wifi is ****E! I have to be basically in front of the router to get a good signal. I must mention that I'm also running Android (Cyanogen 1.5, Darkstone 2.2 Sense...) and Astaios 1.7 pro. I have tried 6-7 radios and the newest TMO 2.14.50.04 is a bit better but, by the time I get to the living room (25' away) I have 0 signal. Please help! Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dmeister3787:
I am in Houston as well. Updated radio (2.14.50.04) and still have the same issues as before with inconsistent data (WM and Android) and lower reception with Android builds.

Part of my problem is location I think (inside areas with weaker signals).

I am using the Elegancia Maxsense v5 ROM for WM and the mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8 for Android.

comment on newest radio

I am located in san diego and have noticed significant improvement in data speeds from the newest 2.15.50 radio, I had the 2.12.50.02 2 radio before this. I went from 1700kbps to 3500kbps at my home. reception seems better, have not tried the 2.14 radio yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
how is battery life?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tieuphi:
My case:

The 2.15 version radio has better signal and incoming call quality just clearer than 2.14 ver. Battery drain seems as good as 2.14ver and better than 2.12ver.

i would leave them on, thats a better way of testing, ya know with a fuller load drawing of the battery. see how quick it drains
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:
I noticed that the battery drain over night with the 2.15 radio is minimal. (maybe 1% for the whole night). Signal is good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] olde_shrimp:
Thats odd. Ive been using 2.15 for the past 2 days with Hyperdroid CM6 (newest one) and chuckydroidrom (newest one) and I lose signal more often. It would disconnect for like 5 minutes and come back. But data speeds were faster and the battery life was pretty good. Im going back to 2.12 unless theres a work around to keep a stable connection.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] scariola:
I had a problem with data stability with the 2.12.50. radio, also 2.14, 2.15. Pretty sure its because i live behind a large hill, everywhere else(in the open) have not encountered any data problems.

The 2.14.50 radio gave me close to 4.5Mbps download speed, sticking with this one for a little longer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] otakubakaa:
oO 1%!? How much ma does it drain on average when its asleep? A night for me about 10 hrs drains 5%, 1% is amazing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] D4rk50ul:
My battery life was not good on 2.10.50.26, very good on 2.14, and somewhere in between with 2.15. I just flashed a different ROM so I will test it with my old one before final judgement.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nicknowsky:
You MUST install HSPL before you flash the RADIO, its fine to flash on the Stock ROM, just need the Hard SPL installed

All Radios work with Android, but you will more than likely need to install HSPL and custom ROM to get Android to work correctly that is. From what I hear 2.12.50.02_2 was good, but the newer radios are better. Go with 2.15 if you want a good Android experience
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] clauswl:

Hi

I have a question:

I wish to revert a HTC HD2 back to factory settings, (SPL, Rom and Radio). Has anyone tried to do this?

Change HSPL 2.08 to SPL 2.08

Can somebody suggest the sequence for doing this without bricking?

your in the wrong thread!!!! and most of those issues ur complaining about is not even radio related in android. Our radios was built to run in windows mobile which is ppp so naturally there will be bugs in android because android is designed for rmnet. when they release our radio its designed to work well with wm. 2.15 has excellent battery life, better reception, and better signal, just my experience in windows mobile. if your banking on android to work as well as windows mobile then u have a while to wait as far as radio, data, battery life, etc. When nand is released battery life will be better because android wont be reading and writing from the sd card causing more power consumption. ppp had to be totally redone to work with android, let a few more devs take a look at it between now and next year and they'll figure out how to prevent those data drops, but their is a guide out to get it working flawlessly for 2 days but u gotta keep replacing the rilwrapper every 2 days
