At the moment I'm on 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

I tried those previously :

1 - 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23

2 - 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2

3 - 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

In my opinion:

1= worst battery life

2 and 3 almost the same battery life

I'm testing 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 ..........
[Desire General] krohme:
I agree 100%.. the radio '32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23' seemed to drain the battery on my phone at an incredible speed'.. I have not tried the other two - but I am also testing the '32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20' radio at the moment. what is the main function of these radios? why are the required? I know i sound like a newbie right :o:)
[Desire General] polystirenman:
just to let you know.i flashed the newest radio on nonbranded Desire and it went ok.last few days i could not pick up any signal while at home.it was just showing x sign above signal bars.now i have full signal and H connection.let's see what battery has to say ;-)

THANK YOU FOR THIS! :-D

oh almost forgot to give some more info...

i am using modaco r3 rom generated by online kitchen with A2SD and i am on O2 UK.
[Desire General] sanfran:
Hi,

I also flashed the latest Radio Rom and I did some testing and switched a few times between 3G/2G network. It seems now that the data connection is restored very quick - I had problems with the previous Rom's and switching between 3G/2G and now it works!

Thanks!
[Desire General] AMoosa:
Adam, I'm desperate to flash the latest radio - you say the phone doesn't need to be rooted, but I can 't get my un-rooted Desire to flash the rom - adb doesn't recognise it in recovery mode. There is another post that says it DOES need to be rooted. Please can you clarify.
[Desire General] Smith2001:
I need to know this too!! please
[Desire General] grippa:
same here! no adb device in recovery mode :( please help!
[Desire General] AdamG:
Sorry if I confused you, you do need to root but you don't need to load a custom ROM, you can flash these radios with the operators ROM still intact.
[Desire General] :
Hi

I have a question. Ive got app2sd installed. so when i flash the new radio with my goldcard, i have to turn it off bevore reboot system now and change the sd card. will my app2sd broken if i do like your how to ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
But rooting removes the Operator ROM and replaces it with a generic one

Last week i have flashed my orange branded desire with the

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

and no problem with simlock or anything, just have to use a goldcard.

Maybe just happened with ORANGE UK desire ?
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I have just updated to the latest radio (4.06.00.16_2) and I find that I am still having the same issue that I had previously.

When I am in a 2G area (G displayed on the screen), and I am using data (Google Maps for example), if I receive a phone call, the call is directed straight to voicemail.

I am 99% sure that when I was in a 2G area on my BlackBerry, and using data, when a call came in, the data connection was suspended, the call came through and when finished, the data session was re-connected.

Try it if you like, go to 2G mode, load a large satellite image, use another phone to try and call your phone, and it will go to voicemail, or busy tone.

Is this a radio problem or something else?
[Desire General] AdamG:
no it doesn't if you don't flash the rootedupdate.zip in step2, you only need to complete step1
[Desire General] AdamG:
i think you have a configuration problem at your end

i would check your contacts settings and make sure they are not ticked to go straight to voicemail and also check your voicemail settings with your operator
[Desire General] AdamG:
already have that packed
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Well when I am on HSDPA and I do the same experiment, the call is allowed through.

I have checked my settings and nothing seems to be awry.
[Desire General] AdamG:
there is an option for call forwarding when in a data call, im not sure if gprs is classed as a data call, unfortunately android can only change settings for voice calls, so you would need to double check your settings with your operator
[Desire General] sanfran:
I would say "it works as designed" ;-)

As far as I know the Desire is a "Class-B" GPRS device, that means you can not use Data and Voice at the same time. If your data connection is not busy the call signalling is going through to your phone and the data connection stops. If the data connection is 'busy' during downloading some data, the call signaling will not go through. As far as I know this is common with moth Class-B GPRS devices. Only Class-A devices will be able to use data and voice at the same time. I would guess you can not fix this 'problem' with a radio software upgrade.

[Desire General] Shane2:
Which post contains the download link for the batch files needed to apply these radios? I can only see the link for the radios themselves in the first post
[Desire General] AdamG:
I removed them, use recovery-windows.bat from r5-desire-root-alt.
[Desire General] SGTDavePwnage:
This is incorrect, doing step 1 will install a stock test rom (removing branded roms)
[Desire General] kielkiam:
Radio regards comunication capacity of phone:

3g, gps, bluetooth, wifi

Usualy a upper version would have best performance (but the battery life......)

....and may be released for specific country
[Desire General] Pnaky:
Im using latest version of radio 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 - actually I have problems with sending/recieving MMS. Does anybody of you has the same problem?

Or did you recomend me downgrade to older version? All hardware works fine (gps, bt, wifi).
[Desire General] lennshow66:
32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 drained my battery at about a rate of around 1% 5mins now using 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 , hopefully it works better :cool:

UPDATE:

Just tested 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 overnight, went to sleep at 23:15 and my battery was at 98%, woke up this morning and at 8m my battery was on 91%.

Will test during the day.

Does anyone know when 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 (new radio with orange 2.2 rom) will be available for download?
[Desire General] kai84m:
32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 is the best Radio for me: Best reception and best battery time.

When you use 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 you need a Rom with the adapted RIL's - Paul @ Modaco implemented the RIL's in R9.

What about 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 when will we get it here?

Send adamG a PN with the download link, perhaps he can help ...
[Desire General] Peikko:
Just installed it 5 minutes ago. Can't say much except that everything works so far. Good reception and getting a GPs lock after 1 second.

For some reason I'm sitting next to the w-lan router and still don't gett full reception. But I think it was the same with oder Radios.
[Desire General] devvi:
Hey, maybe the signal strength is not as high as it should be, but have you considered that the recetion may rise while downloading?

I´ve noticed that when im downloading something my signal strengt rises (the green bars at the Top).

I think its due to the power that is given to the wlan chip for receiving and trasmitting wlan signals.

/Dev
[Desire General] KBanause:
But think of this:

You are sitting somewhere where your laptop gets (for example) 10% reception. But your phone can't find the network due to less power for the WiFi.

Or you have a good signal strength and you move further. What would you say if your phone disconnects from the wifi network because it thinks it is no longer existing even though other devices still can find it?
[Desire General] Peikko:
could be. I don't know. :)

but i was sitting for 15 minutes on my bed surfing with the phone because I'm too lazy to sit on the table and surf with my notebook. while surfing I had full reception so this Radio is just fine and a keeper for me.

Except I encounter a high battery drain.

I am using 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 with leedroid 2.1a, I charged my battery in the morning and still got 65% after moderate use, 3g signals are way better, I didn't even have to calibrate my battery
[Desire General] kuailan:
Preliminary test result

Test is done on the LeeDroid 2.1a

Performance compare to .05.23 radio I think is roughly about the same. Strong signal as expected.

Battery life: I think it's better. I have turn on BT, GPS, WIFI, 3G and data connection on (autosync on), with Juice defender and SetCPU running on background, and backlight set at auto. I have test drive for 25 minutes (running CoPilot for about 15m drive), liistening music to my Bluetooth headset for 10m and only loose 5%.

Issue: I believe I found a little issue with music streaming through A2DP bluetooth headset. When you play the music, try tapping or cover your top phone (near the power button), you will noticed some interference (music pauses or break up). Not very bad, but the interference is there. I am not sure whether this will varied from different ROM. Anyway, I will try full wipe and reflash my ROM to see if this issue still occur.
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
This radio works fine but IMO battery drain is slightly higher than with stock radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 although not as high as with radio 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 so I'm back at the stock radio.

its not even worth a shot, only if you have the willingness to have a broken phone.
[Desire General] Daelyn:
I have sent you a PM with the link to Radio 12.21.60.12_26.02.00.09 for the Desire HD. If I wasn't at work, I would also have signed it, so turn of verification/sign check before you try flash it.

Can you "unbrick" a device with a faulty radio flash? I know you can with a faulty OS flash, but radio too?

Nope. A faulty radio flash is a permanent failure, for amateurs at least. Maybe HTC engineers can fix it by force flashing the motherboard via other means than USB.

[Desire General] chareos12:
I'm facing a strange (?) situation.

Before I flashed my first radio, a few days ago, with the latest 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14

I was happily jumping onward/backward in OpenDesire .23 - .28 releases.

With the stock radio, .23 and .28 used to expose a battery usage of 2-3% every hour. 2G (flaky signal), WiFi always on and near to phone, gps on but not used.

Since I flashed that 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, I experienced very good signal strength. But also, battery started to drain 5% every 30 minutes.

Ok... so I tried the appropriate RIL posted on this forum. Same situation.

So I started downgrade radio version one by one.

Now I'm back to the stock one, on OpenDesire .23.

And I still get the same battery drain !!

I'd have expected to get the same results from before.

I must have done something wrong.

Is there some specific precaution one should follow in flashing a radio ?

As of now, per informations I found searching here,

- flash a new rom / version : full wipe, flash, battery calibration

- flash a new radio : just flash. If applying a RIL, apply it after the rom has being flashed.

Still, I can't revert to my initial scores, and all of this with the same settings, applications, situation (signal, wifi etc)

Thanks for any hint or correction
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
Is it worth upgrading to latest radio? I'm in 5.09.00.20 right now and I think the phone goes pretty well, but reading the posts of the latest radio it seems you get some enhancements over the previous one.

Since I've seen several users complaining about version X wasting more battery than the older version I'm wondering if actual version (5.11.05.14) will be an improvement or not in my case...
[Desire General] Venomed:
Thank you!

I just took a leap of faith and applied this to my brand new HTC Buzz: Wildfire that wasn't picking up signals so nicely (I don't blame it.. I'm two story underground!).

Just wanted to report that it seems to be working fine and the signals feel tad better now. I've applied this on top of WildPuzzleRom 7.3 in case the updates in there matter.

I'm new to the whole android scene but loving the great work done by everybody on this forum. Hope to bring some contributions to this forum.

Again many thank for posting this radio update!
[Desire General] marinierb:
Did you verify in the "About phone" screen that it actually installed?
[Desire General] rolfd:
Before anyone else tries this I'd suggest you either have a bag of money in your pocket, or balls of steel.

I'd never ever recommend flashing a radio from one phone model to another. If you brick it, you are well and truly stuffed. Bad radio flashes can't be fixed. As far as I'm concerned, a desire radio is for a desire, nothing else!

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the tears from the bloke who is going to flash the hd radio on his standard desire ;)
[Desire General] deskmat81:
I have 5.09.05.30_2 flashed on my Desire and it seems to drain too much battery, which one is better in the newest release?
[Desire General] Venomed:
Not sure how to confirm in there. I dont see anything that tells me what radio version is installed. Perhaps I can take something out of /proc/ ? if so please let me know where should I look for it (i'm comfortable with adb and filesystem in phone)

Seconded. When i attempted this, i was fully aware of the risk of losing the phone but I've been interested in cross-flashes (and have cross-flashed) for a while.a

But if you don't know what you're doing, yes please do not attempt this!

[Desire General] chareos12:
Hi guys,

I'm having issues since I tried to flash my radio to the latest.

What I did, by suggestion:

just flashed as any OpenDesire ROM. My phone is rooted via unrevoked so, when I've to flash a ROM or a radio, I just reboot in recovery, wipe everything and flash a zip file from sdcard.

When I tried latest radio, I saw differences (signal got way stronger).

But also started the battery drain (installing the appropriate RIL didn't help).

So, I tried to go back to my previous stock radio.

But nothing happens: radio version in system infos goes back accordingly, but

- signal stays stronger than my stock days

- battery drain is still crazy.

It feels like only version number changes and that, whatever issue occourred with that wrong (?) procedure, it still stays.

So today, I finally found this quote above, and I decided to try this way.

I've a few questions:

- I've no windows. linux only. What should I do with this regard ?

- Is there no way to flash successfullt, properly the radio by phone and with phone only ?

thanks
[Desire General] twicejr:
Err.. just use clockwordmod recovery.
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
The how to method is the same as if you use directly Amon Ra or ClockworkMod, but instead of pressing volume up and power to get to the recovery, you load it via adb or something like that.

The last radio I updated was with custom recovery, so it should work. The thing that I dont really know is if you can flash an older radio...
[Desire General] BumAround:
What kind of realistic solution is there, really? Better reception with better battery performance? :confused::confused: Bit wishful, aren't we?
[Desire General] Smultie:
I'm having the exact same problem since about a week or 3, since I started rooting/trying radio ROM's. There seems to be no way I can get back to my 2days+ battery life. 10%/hour without even using the phone QQ

Any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire General] ranasrule:
same here :confused:
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Guys, first try to calibrate your battery then let your phone work for few days. What I figured out, phone will optimise application after few days without rebooting and your battery will last longer. You can not flash new radio and expect improvement for first charge cycle.

Also, you can try freeze some unused application with Titanium backup, especially application with network access. I tried and it really works :)
[Desire General] ranasrule:
anyone having problems connecting to Market after flashing 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 + RIL ?
[Desire General] ranasrule:

[Desire General] Sideburnt:
Im running the latest .32 OpenDesire ROM I've flashed this radio + RIL and I'm finding that after around 30 mins the signal completely drops. Im not sure if its the ROM, the RIL or the Radio or a combination of all 3.

Im suspecting that the RIL is to blame, how would I reflash another RIL without a nandroid restore?

Simply reflash another radio?

Replace the RIL?

I have restored my ROM and a previous Radio in the meantime, still testing if this has fixed my issue, any help is welcome
[Desire General] Smultie:
What's the "RIL"?
[Desire General] KBanause:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Interface_Layer
[Desire General] ranasrule:
can someone please provide RIL for 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 ...... plz
[Desire General] Smultie:
Okay, and what to do with the RIL? How to flash it? Or is it a setting?
[Desire General] KBanause:
AFAIK it is implemented in the rom you are using. The RIL the ROM is using should be optimized for the radio you are using. Therefore I think it's best to use the radio version your rom dev is recommending.

(this is just my opinion. If I'm wrong please correct me)
[Desire General] Swissola:
Latest radio is fantastic, from my experience.

I've gone from around 15 hours of average use to about 22 hours (both times coupled with JuiceDefender).

Power consumption during standby has decreased massively! Best radio yet IMHO

[Desire General] shinodoigt:
Why this thread is not sticky yet ? :o
[Desire General] chareos12:
Hi guys,

since I tried flashing a couple of radios (the latest, then back to my stock one), I'm suffering from a terrible battery drain (see my signature link for more infos).

My question is:

it's even possible that flashing 1-2 radios could bring issues/damages that another radio flash can't solve ?

Is there a more radical radio flash procedure ?

Or perhaps I'm just doing it wrong ?
[Desire General] ranasrule:
no one ?:(
[Desire General] hshah:
I agree, and I am using Open Desire (latest version).

7 hours after unplugging, watching 1 hour of video at full brightness, 30 minutes of music, constant push email, 25 or so texts, I was down to 59%. Before the latest radio the battery would be around 40%.
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
Some advice:

1. Make a backup of all your data.

2. Make a backup of all your apps.

3. Go into recovery and wipe data + caches.

4. Flash your ROM once again.

5. Use the

bare

ROM, no additional apps installed, only CurrentWidget.

6. And the test what the drain is.

My drain is 3-4mA at idle when the radio is on, 1mA at idle when the radio is off.

100mA is insane!
[Desire General] harvestdroid:
Same problem for me, and i'm still looking for a solution..which is none of the search has provided..

Really seeking help here... :mad:

I try it just now, but with my rom with full apps..

When idle (screen off) battery drain to 5-6mA with wi-fi on, when screen back on it back to 192mA..

With 3G on, my battery drain 132mA (screen on, idle) and 4mA (screen off)

Is it normal?
[Desire General] chareos12:
I confirm, still 100mA.

I confirm, insane.

All started when I tried latest radio+ril, then gone back.

It may be a coincidence...

read thread in my sig for more info about this odissey...
[Desire General] chareos12:
Guys... I've a question for you all

when you flash a radio, you do by the clockwork recovery ?

Or by using a PC to somehow flash the radio image ?
[Desire General] smarty213:
Recovery:

place the downloaded radio zipfile on the sd, reboot into recovery, flash zip. After zip has been flashed, reboot via recovery-menu, and be patient while the phone boots for a couple of minutes.
