i have the same radio. should be upgraded? works well on wp7?

edit:

Yesterday i installed the "famous" Leo_Radio_2.09.50.29_2 and after that, wp7. remember that i´m brazil at vivo carrier @2100mhz

wp7 version is 7.07 from user 96dewy - tutorial.

everything looks fine...

- wifi stable and fast

- network signal strong

- data traffic good quality too

the only thing that i need to test now is battery life.

bdw, specs:

hd2 T mobile

2gb SD card
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brandl:
after read a couple more, i´ve dicided to install Radio Ver.2.15.50

is NOTORIOUS the faster boot, transitions and signal quality.

but i think that baterry drain is bigger..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DarkLG:
Whats the best radio signal and battery wise for tmobile us running nexushd2 ics?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gerlesion:
Hi guys, i'm currently using Radio 5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10U with Mango Os version 7.10.8779.8 (tmous). I dont really care how it improves the battery life. What i'm looking for is a radio can resolve rebooting problem. My phone reboots several times per day, or whenever getting hot, even just warm. Any suggestion for the best stability? Many thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
That Radio you quoted is the wp7 software radio, not the actual hd2 radio that this thread is about.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
if you use these packages listed here yes it will be radio only. I'm just warning you that you can potentially do more damage using the SDCard method.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Ok, just installed 2.10.50.19_2 radio. I'll test it and see any differences from stock radio:)

A hard reset is not necessary is it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
nope, hard reset is not required for radios.

echo back

Hi,

Anyone notice an echo on the ear when using 2.11 and Radio 2.10.50.19_2,

Also the volume is quite high on the call even with the volume all the way down.

Can this be 2.11 ROM or the RADIO or a combo of both??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jayedamina:
yea i am using the exact same combo in your sig...agreed sound is way too high. hoping flashing 2.09.50.29_2 radio will fix:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stilts:
I have a quick question. I'm had the 2.08.50.08_2 radio and I recently flashed the 2.10.50.08_2 radio. Its ok but the battery life seems to be worse than before. So my question is can I flash from 2.10.50.08_2 to 2.09.50.08_2 without any problems?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfmckenna:
good question, well im not sure of the answer but i can tell you from experience that i did exactly what you just described and i have no issues to report hope this helps!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] justwonder:
Yes you can, I always test all available radios to see which one is the best
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stilts:
Alright cool, thanks for the reply guys.

And as for the 2.10.50.08_ radio, I only had it for about a day but internet speeds seemed faster, page load times seemed faster, I had a great reception as I was on 3 or 4 bars of H the whole time. What made me want to switch was the battery life. I would lose about 2% every 5 minutes while it was locked. I'm located in Southern California if that helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ervin10:
I just flashed back to radio 2.08 was wondering which one yall have better results with betwee 2.10.50.08 and 2.09.50.29.2?

Thanks for the advise
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I am in Utah and my phone is on the Tmous 2.10.50.08 and a 2.11 test rom from a developer and I have had 16 hours of normal use texting, twitter, opera 10 usage, and data, and calls. 51% i consider that damn good after my usage.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SEscobedo:
what part of Utah? I'm on an unlocked on ATT and i live in the Davis County area. I'm on the 2.10.50.19_2 radio. I'm using Kumar's TMOUS L1.9 WWE rom. I'm noticing since I flashed the new radio that my network performance has increased but my battery is draining faster.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe_coolish:
Good to see another Utahn on the forum :) I'm in Utah County and I'm thinking about flashing the radio tonight. Isn't Utah suppose to be getting the 7.2 Mbs T-Mo connection? I know I'm not getting that kind of speed...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Raadius:
Excuse my ignorance, but what does the 'Radio' do for the phone? I came from an iPhone, so I have no clue. I have a stock TMO US HD2 running 2.08.50.08_2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the radio is the piece of software that sits between the operating system and the actual radio hardware. Windows mobile sends 'start a phone call' to the radio, and the radio activates the hardware.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SEscobedo:
if you end up using the 50.19_2 radio, let me know how it works for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Raadius:
So these newer Radios will give you better reception/coverage I gather? What's the positive or negatives of trying to install this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
results vary person to person. but the radio affects battery life, signal stability and i've found speed of switching between gsm and 3g. newer doesn't auto mean better. try them and see what works for you. i'm liking the 2.07.50 myself.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] deadlyc:
I guess there is no definite radio that works well for everyone. I'll just stick to 2.08 for now.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aceo07:
I'm definitely interested in hearing reports from people who (sometimes) have poor reception (1-3bars) and also enter areas of no reception (underground or elevators) often.

Mainly to see how it handles poor reception and how quickly it detects a signal after having no reception. Those are my main issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] s0nniez:
Thanks for the heads up. I'm in socal too.

I was using 2.08 for awhile, then I just flashed 2.07 but it hasn't got any better.

Going to try 2.09 and 2.10
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SaintNULL:
Is anyone else getting crackling when using the phone on 2.09 and 2.10? It seems this problem has been around since the hd2 came out.

I'm testing 2.08 again, because I don't remember having the crackling sound on that radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Hey guys, I switched from stock radio to 2.10.50.19_2 (kept for 2 days) and then to 2.10.50.08_2 (5 days now) so far I really haven't noticed any battery improvement, the only difference I've seen is that the 3G signal is more stable and with more bars. I'm going to try 2.09.50.29_2 now and see how that goes...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Can someone please confrim this is actually 2.09.50.29_2 ? I downloaded this one from Page 3 post # 22 of this thread. When I'm ready to install I get this Radio #...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] onslaught86:
I flashed that radio last night, and that screen confused the hell out of me too - rest assured, it IS 2.09.50.29, and it's the best radio I've tried so far.

I live in New Zealand, where the only frequencies of use to me are GSM 900 and 3G 2100, so my radio experiences in terms of signal strength and battery life are based entirely on those.

The stock radio, 2.08.50.08, gave me average signal strength and average battery life, so I looked for alternatives straight away. The latest, 2.10.50.19, gave me poor battery life and awful reception, dropping to one or two bars (Or no signal) whenever I went inside buildings. Tried 2.10.50.08 yesterday, and got great signal strength, but awful battery life - it was completely drained before the end of the day.

Trying 2.09.50.29 now, and by midday I've lost no battery bars and have had solid signal strength all day, so I'll be sticking with this one for a while. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Thank you, I'll give this one a shot as I've read in different post that it's better than the rest.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] onslaught86:
Three hours later, still haven't lost any battery bars. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwbdc:
Just wanted to be clear, as long as you have HSPL you can install any radio on top of existing ROM? I have HSPL and the Elegancia ROM flashed so I should just be able to flash the radio w/o issues correct? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Blonde_sometimes:
i second 2.09.50.29 radio in USA. between 2.08 and 2.10 this one gave me solid signals and BETTER GPS fix. compared on two phones side-by-side
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwill:
Careful though. Any radio that is compatible with your rom though. If you're on US Tmobile HD2 only certain radios (all new ones apparently) work fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Hey kwill,

I can see in your sig that you are using 2.09.50. Did you try 2.10.50.08 (I'm on this right now) and if so did you see any difference with the one you have now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] techboydino:
Thanks for making it easy. I tried a couple roms now on stock radio and i get about half a day with everything off and down to 30% brightness.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SEscobedo:
What are you doing on your phone??? I'm on my phone a lot and it lasts me atleast all day.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EvilDylan:
Forgive my ignorance, but the post explaining the installation of the radio was a little confusing.

I have HSPL on my phone now, running kumar v1.9 ROM.

What would I need to do to change radios? I saw something about renaming a file, but that was under the install hspl section, so I don't know if thats something that I would need to do or not. I've read the entire thread, but a lot of the terminology is new to me so it makes it somewhat difficult to understand.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfmckenna:
install the same way you installed your rom. Depending on the file structure of the radio you download you might have to rename the .nbh file to RUU_Signed.nbh then run the exe file
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
put radio nbh file in a folder with customruu.exe

run customruu

name doesn't matter

Another Utah boy here. Up in Ogden area. YOu guys seeing good over all signal improvement on 2.10.50.08?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yoojin1081:
Hey guys

I think this is a great thread, gonna favorite it and see how it progresses. I'm in Atlanta, GA using the 2.08.50 that came stock on the US T-Mo on custom energyrom 23566.

I hear alot of people talking about battery life so I thought I might just suggest this ---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6128206#post6128206

It will automatically switch edge and 3g to when you need it and it's very customizable. After some minor testing, with my brightness on auto, running energyrom w/ many applications installed (none were open during my short testing...only arkswitch was running)...before I installed this I was getting about 5 minutes per 1% of battery life with the screen on. After installing this I'm getting 6 minutes per 1% of battery life which to me is a great improvement. Now I know my testing was perfect...alot of variables could have played a factor, but to me the difference was very noticeable so I would recommend trying it out. =)

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
you can see the radio and rom in my sig, i actually tried hard to run the batery flat the other day. from 9am, including gps use, over an hour of video and several calls plus continuous exchange sync and hourly weather, facebook and twitter. I also ran glbenchmark several time.

I had to really push to get it to die before midnight, and even then it got right down to 1% and shut down gracefully when it did.

So in summary, you should get a good day out of heavy usage, if not you either have too manhy apps running, a radio driaining more power or a faulty battery.

hope this helps with battery times.

I live in California specifically Fresno, but where I live is basically on the outskirts of the city in a rural area. I keep dropping calls more than I did with Verizon. Trust me I hate Verizon had them for a very long time, but decided to switch because of the HD2. If there's anyone close to me that's having great success with a certain radio it'd be great if you could comment.

What radios are working best for TMOUSA?

I flashed 2.10.50.29 and my battery went down about 2% an hour just sitting no calls, no messages, no internet. I flashed 2.08.50.08.2 seems a little better but I would still like to get more than a day without recharching.

question

can i use stock rom version for tmous that is 2.10.53.1.1 (82076)wwe

and change to another radio version my stock ne is 2.08.50.08_2 i want to change my radio version to get better 3g reception
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fhaines:
radio

Well it will depend on your rom and your environment. For instance on the stock TMO rom the stock radio worked great.

I recently flashed Kumars V2.0 and it was terrible with the stock radio. I've flashed the 2.10.50.19 radio and so far it is much better on battery life.

Best I can say is try a few out for 6 hours at a time, perferably in the same location and compare signal,battery life, and connection quality, then make your choice.

fhaines:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] baymon:
Here's my observation on Radio 2.09.50.29_2 after about a week of usage:

ROM: NRG's May1st 219xx series

Location: College Station, TX

Voice Quality: I have to say that this radio is worse compared to the 2.07.xx.xx because my phone is jumping crazily between 3G, EDGE and no signal even in the places that I used to get an OK signal quality. I also experienced lotsa dropped calls and those calls that just hung up by itself after you press the Answer button.

Data Quality: I say that data works ok with this radio. I notice that the data doesn't fluctuate as much as the 2.07 radio, and it did manage to register itself on the HSPA network more often than before. On 2.07 radio, I barely manage to get a 3G connection running most of the time.

Battery Life: I have both SEVEN and Windows Live mail running on push, so obviously I've never expected any good battery life with this measle 1250mah battery. However, I do notice that the battery drain A LOT faster with this radio as a result of the phone keep trying to acquire signal even in the places that I usually have pretty good reception at.

GPS: GPS works fine, acquire lock in less than 10 seconds in most places.

Final verdict: I am ready to move on to the next radio now, perhaps one of the 2.10 series. I have to say that this radio gave me better data quality, but much worse voice connection. Dropped calls, and sudden loss of signal is a pretty usual occurence over the past week when I was running this radio.

*Can't emphasize this enough, but even though reviews from other are somewhat useful to determine if the radio is good/bad, the end user experience will vary from user to user based on your locations and a lot of other factors. Always take the reviews with a grain of salt, and flash carefully.

Thanks.

Best Radio for AT&T

How about the best Radio for AT&T instead of Tmobile... Has anyone tried any of this radios on an unlocked HTC HD2 from Tmobile but with an AT&T sim card? This is my case... I know I will not get 3G ever on this (unless I get the Australian HTC HD2) but... has anyone tested this roms on AT&T... Voice/Data etc... thanks!:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
cooked roms don't contain radios as a rule, only official roms.

you flash radios exactly like roms, should you want to change it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SEscobedo:
I'm have an unlocked HD2 and am using it on AT&T. I have currently upgraded to the 2.10.50.28_2 radio. I would just say play with them to see how they work on your phone. I personally don't know if I like this radio as i have had one glitch on it so far. But I'm giving it a few days to see if it was just a fluke or not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tyco5150:
OK...noob here...

I flashed my rom with energy's rom, then i flashed the stock radio to a different radio, the only problem is that the new radio is killing my battery...i want to try a new one...I downloaded the radio but it does not have the customRUU, or RomUpdateUtility.exe file.....The other radio i used was 2.10.5.08_2 that folder contained all files necessary to flash my radio...the new radios I want to try are 2.07, and 2.09...both those files do not have the customRUU or Romupdateutility.exe files in the folders....Is there anyone who can tell me where i can get them...THANK YOU...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PyroZona:
Just use the customRUU from the one that had all the files necessary for flashing. Be sure to put it in a folder with whatever radio .nbh file you are going to be flashing and nothing else. That's what I've been doing, anyway. Haven't had any problems doing it that way.

Of course, I'm a noob, too...so someone correct me if I'm wrong. But it's been working for me.

Post back with your results on battery life with the other radios you try. I'm using Energy's latest (May 9) cookie rom with radio 2.08.50.08_2, and would like to get better battery life, too!

LA and NYC Radio Info

Hey guys,

I travel between LA and NYC and im wondering if anyone has any info on which radio works best in either location, Im using the stock 2.08.50.08_2 and am getting awful battery life in both locations (especially NYC)... half a day of use if im lucky :mad:. Am trying 2.10.50.28_2 now and will report on my results:).

Also, just to clarify, the rilphone.dll has not been changed since the TMOUS HD2 release correct? meaning there is no need to flash it??:confused:

Lastly, the page 3 post should b moved to the first page and should updated to include 2.10.50.28_2 just to avoid confusion:p
