Guys, here's my observations so far on Radios. I'm running RCmixHD v0.14OF version.

Was running 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 without any problems or issues. Decent battery life and good signals. However, I decided to be greedy and updated to latest 32.54 version (I have the latest RIL that goes with 32.49). I found that there were no performance improvements in terms of signals or battery life (having used it now for 2 weeks). Signal strength about the same as before. Wifi and GPS no better or worse. HOWEVER!!!

There are issues for me with 32.54 and that is why I have just flashed back to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I was finding that the data connection sometimes was not there. Particularly after waking the screen. However it would dissapear at other times too. Also had a couple of dropped calls whereas with 32.49 none. Noticed too that emails and text messages came through erratically and sometimes much later than they were sent.

So, summing up, after using both these radios for 2 weeks apiece, I conclude that 32.49 is more stable (for me) and reliable with no apparent loss of performance or battery life.

On 32.49 radio I get 0.5% battery drain per hour overnight (screen off) with data on/wifi off/ gps off. Data set to update weather/facebook/stocks/email every 3 hours. Tested it 4 times overnight now under the same conditions and it loses 5%-6% battery life over 10 hours sleep.

Sorry for the long winded post guys. Just wanted to add some substance to the debate.:)
[Desire General] sianzb0i:
after using the .54 radio:

1) better batt life (if data not on)

2) more frequent d/c or icon showing connected to data but software tells me "cannot connect to server" or similar messages but i need to wait for some time for it to connect and it happens almost everytime....

3) i turned on the data however it doesnt connect (even in strong 3G signal area...2G almost cannot work at all)

i am just too irritated wif this radio that i flashed back to the original which is the 32.44.xxxxxx

things were much better since then...

How do you flash a radio (zip file in the first post) with android sdk ? Or we should got .img file ?
[Desire General] Staggers:
Once you're rooted you can flash the zip in recovery from the phone itself. If you prefer to do it via the pc for some reason then you have to use fastboot that comes with the android sdk. Search the forum for instructions on using fastboot, and yes, you'll need the img file.

Guys, some help is needed help here.

Since I saw the new 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 (I was using 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) I decided to give it a try.

After installing the new radio (at first I didn't change the RIL, since I was told it was the same for both the radios), I noticed - as some of you - that 3g connection was completely lost.

After a complete wipe, I also installed the RIL associated to the latest radio, just to see if the problem could be solved. No chance.

So:

- I reverted to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

- I restored my nandroid backup.

Nevertheless I still have problems with 3g connection, meaning that although I activate it the connection... Is not there!!!

Now I' trying to completely format the sd, eliminate and re-create the partitions and then I'll reflas rom and radio (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27). Hope it will solve my problem (even if it's a pain in the ass restart from the beginning...).

Before I start is there anybody who can maybe suggest different options?
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
Have you tried 32.49 and its RIL?
[Desire General] davedes:
Strange...my radio changed from 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 to 32.54.00.32H_5.14.05.17 coming from oxygen to redux rom. Anyone know what the H stands for and why its there instead of the U? Is this a rom bug?
[Desire General] :
Thank U a lot...
[Desire General] edwardally:
where to dowload the RIL?
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
This thread is dedicated to the RILs. You may also be interested by this thread, which is a collection of useful links.
[Desire General] sianzb0i:
Whats the diff between RIL n these radio.zip provided here?
[Desire General] erklat:
Consider the phone as a graphics card. The radio image is a card's bios, and the ril are the drivers. You should have ril optimized for radio image you use in order to maximize performance.
[Desire General] siedkins:
I might try 32.49 based on this. I'm on Orange in the UK and still using the radio that came via the last OTA before I started rooting and flashing.

I'll flash the radio and see how I get on!
[Desire General] x5starguerillaa:
Hi all,

This is my first time dabbling with RIL's. I looked into it after flashing the lastest radio (5.14.xx) and found that my phone would no longer connect to my Bluetooth car audio system?

I thought that the original RIL may need updating on my phone to go with the new radio? Flashed the latest RIL and still no joy so I've done a restore and flashed back to my previous radio (5.11.xx) but it still seems to have issues with my Bluetooth sound system? It can "see" the car audio and tries to connect but just keeps going back to "paired but not connected" .

Could a radio/ril master help out a learner?

[Desire General] unc-newbie:
I have installed RCS MixHD 2.0 and it is using RIL (2.2.0031HM) What radios is that good with?
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
As far as I remember, the 32.54 firmware has its origins in a Chinese RUU, hasn't it? Since many users report almost the same problems, I wonder what's different on the Chinese phones. Can AdamG tag this firmware in the first message and warn the users of these problems?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
What problems? 32.54 working fine for lots of users..And for me is the best radio with great signal and great battery life
[Desire General] jaztim:
Same here.

UK sim free desire with orange sim.
[Desire General] erklat:
This. What issues? I don't see any issues which might be attributed to this radio image and not to the others too.
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
I agree with you it works for many users, but what puzzles me is there are still users like carlos67 reporting disappearing access points after waking the screen, call drops and delays receiving/sending SMSes. I thought the cause might be using the wrong RIL but I have also read some messages about people updating from 32.49 to 32.54 (they both share the same RIL), then reverting back to 32.49 and still having the problems! I would have tried it, but after reading such message (about problems persisting after radio reverting), I had some second thoughts. What can cause these problems? The wrong update procedure? Using the wrong ROM?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
That are newbie problems (wrong ril flash, ril on gingerbreand rom, not wipe, ecc):) ..If u are too, so stay with ur radio..there isn't a huge difference between radios

[Desire General] bedeabc:
I've been trialling several Gingerbread ROMs in the past month and have noticed in all the ROMs I've tried that in-app connectivity is broken to some extent.

For example, currently with Amethyst RC7 the Facebook is almost completely useless. The official Twitter app works well, but cannot upload photos whichever photo service I choose. Soundhound cannot connect to its servers, neither can Shazam. It seems to be around 50/50 that an app's connectivity is broken. It's a really irritating problem to say the least.

I have reproduced similar if not identical behaviour across several installs of various versions of Amethyst and Ginger Villain with two different radios, the 05.27 and now the newer 05.17 which a lot of people seem to be using.

This problem seems FAR too widespread to be the fault of app developers not being prepared for Gingerbread.

Please could someone offer some advice before I open a new thread?

Drop calls

Hey guys,

I dont know where to post this. I am NOT a novice but all my attempts have failed in fixing this annoying problem.

My Desire keeps dropping calls every 15-20 minutes whilst it shows that I have full signal! I have tried two different roms (Oxygen RC7 and Cyna RC1), both full wipe and reinstalling the radio driver from scratch (just in case).

I have changed radios from 5.09.05.30_2 to 5.11.05.27 to 5.14.05.17.

I have to say that the problem first started when I installed one of the RIL drivers for the corresponding radios in Oxygen RC7, but however I have changed Roms a lot!

Please PLEASE PLEASE, if you could help it would be great!
[Desire General] appox:
Fastboot flashed on 5.14.05.17. Took 35s, works fine. GPS lock indoors, Mobile internet seems a tad faster (It's still G in my house, but web pages actually load).

Very happy
[Desire General] rootrider:
I've made a similiar experience some time ago. As far as I remember the USB brick fix described here in the forum repaired that problem. Just give it a try and don't use that RIL stuff again.

Use the method from xda not from modaco and tell us if it helped.
[Desire General] mofirouz:
Thanks for the replies,

I have tried both the USB Brick Fix, and the info hidden menu to change to GSM Auto (PRL) ...

Neither of them have worked at all.

I dont understand how a simple RIL can cause this problem? Even though I reverted back to the original RIL (HTC August 2010), but I still have the problem!!!

I thought that the RIL driver only changes the OS Stuff not the actual hardware ROM? Please correct me if I am wrong!
[Desire General] trancephorm:
latest radio (32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17) has some bug and that is that it cannot connect back to 3G network after leaving wlan. Triet with CM 6.1.1 and CM 7.0 RC1

flashed to previous one - everything ok.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
To check if a radio have a bug, you should do the test with an official stable rom..Official sense from htc for example..That what u said maybe a bug of CM, not the radio..I dont have that bug on MIUI for example

You can'T test a bug, with something bugged :p
[Desire General] mofirouz:
I can confirm THAT problem too ... it "connects" to 3G but no data is actually transferred!

Went back to 30_2 and 3G and H work fast and fine!
[Desire General] rootrider:
I don't know either. So I decided to keep my hands off from that stuff...

I still see a chance in flashing the original rom from htc, but be careful, which one to choose as you have to root and s-off your phone again.

If it still doesn't work there could some damaged hardware be responsible for that.
[Desire General] p5x:
Can confirm i'm having a similar problem with the latest radio (although I am using the devnull test rom)
[Desire General] 160bpm:
What is the radio now using so data connection is working?

I have same problems using rcmixhd 3.0.1
[Desire General] Sisqo:
just flashed the latest radio, i do not have this problem with activating 3G/H after wlan. using cm 7.0 rc1
[Desire General] Ninolina:
I have this problem when switching from wlan to mobile data connection.. I am using Leedroid's ROM v2.3d.. And newest Radio..:-( Is there any solution for that? I don't want to switch back to older Radio because the newest gives me the best battery performance..:-)
[Desire General] Dany0:
So I don't use any mobile data, therefore .54 should be okay for me since it has little bit better battery life and performance and only issues with mobile data - not wifi.

Currently 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2. Worth the upgrade or not? I don't have much time to test it that's why I am asking. Though I'd be okay with putting effort to get more time if you are unable to answer.
[Desire General] adz63:
tried putting the latest radio on my phone . i got to where it says press vol+/- or menu to reboot your system .. i briefly see it said something like cant write or something like that then it rebooted . it was to quick to get what it actually said but it said e: cant write how can i put this on my phone
[Desire General] mofirouz:
Well its really a gamble. It is working on some people's phones! I didn't really see any difference in battery performance, however the signal seemed to update faster in .54.

Also, with 30_2, you get the 'R' (Roaming) sign whenever you are connected to a roaming network (in UK, T-Mobile Orange would somehow count as roaming). With .54 you dont get that (which is wrong, you need to get the R)

With .54 sometimes network search fails, and you have to go to Flight mode, and back again to reactivate radio (e.g happens when you come out of the underground). The same is true with the data and that 3G/H wont work at times.

Ah yeah, and the biggest one is the dropping calls problem which happens every 15-20minutes.

Obviously all above is my experience of the problem. This is given that I was using both Oxygen 2.0RC7 and CyMod RC1.

Now I have switched to Oxygen 2.0 final and with 30_2, I get 2 days of battery under moderate usage and no signal failures or dropped calls as yet!

Need I say more?
[Desire General] Surfy89:
My Desire is locked to the Orange Network, if I flash a new radio is my phone going to sim lock?
[Desire General] juicebox666:
You using the Oxygen HBOOT? If so, then your cache is too small to directly flash radios from your fone. You have to push radios via fastboot. Google for a solution. I can't look for it now, but I'll try to remember to look for the link later on.
[Desire General] juicebox666:
I don't think flashing radios affects your SIM lock. Don't quote me on that :)
[Desire General] adz63:
thanks for the reply mate . i have lost my paperwork with cmd lines so just need things like

cd:

c:android\android-sdk-windows\tools

etc

eg fastboot boot radio radio.img etc if you know what i mean
[Desire General] lagaba:
Put the radio file in the tools directory of the sdk (you may need to extract the radio.img from the zip file), connect your phone and reboot to bootloader, select fastboot.

Back on the PC.

cd to your sdk tools directory, then:

fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Desire General] adz63:
thanks .. no fastboot erase cache or anything just plain and simple how you put ???
[Desire General] lagaba:
Always works for me... I've flashed recovery that way too...
[Desire General] lagaba:
Fastboot flashes the img directly so no need to erase cache as it is not used...
[Desire General] adz63:
Yeah thanks mate I done it
[Desire General] StillDRE:
Does all Desire phones support these radios? Or does some of them only support new v. of Desire(those with a new screen etc)?

Is there a recommended Radio for Oxygen 2.0?

And does it matter wich sim carrier you got? (I got Ludomobil, running on Telenor)

I do run this Radio now 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (looks a bit old) and was thinking of downloading and run latest(32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17).
