Loaded and tested. Seems to work fine.

Interesting. I didn't know before now you could patch parts of the Android this way. VERY useful.

Does this mean that a rom could be made to upgrade to 2.2 that does not wipe your personal customizations, for example?

Re: Newest Slide Radio Update

Where it used to say 3G, now says H.

Ran a few speedtests, and I'm bankink avg. 6.5M down / 2.1 up.

Is this... *cough* 4G (HSDPA)???

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Im betting the guys seeing the H are on the Legend ROM correct?? You guys prob had the same speeds before on the stock Rom just that there is no H icon in it..correct me if I'm wrong.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
Lol! Thats what my touch pro 2 does is switch between 3G and H. Its just an htc thing to let you know you're switching between UMTS and HSPA. Both are 3G but HSPA is a bit faster.

but your speed indicates your on HSPA+ which is a good deal quicker than UMTS. Not really 4G but just as fast, technically it 3.75G. 4G just sounds better so most call it that...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] khtims:
Here is a link to a HSPA+ map of USA. It's a little hard to read exactly which cities but red dots are already HSPA+ and blue are coming soon. Kinda cool. It seems the link to the actual map is broken (at least I cannot access it from this computer).

I don't wanna seem like two scoops of stupid but how are you flashing this, exactly? I'm new to all of this and, while I understood the process of putting the ENG build on and proceeding to Slidemeroot2, I'm afraid I don't know how to do everything, just yet.

I've picked up a ton just from reading the forum and people have been pretty good about questions, so far.

Also, thanks for putting in the effort to improve my already awesome new toy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
the link from tmonews comes straight from the coverage map at tmobile.com. I think we crashes it, lol (doubt it) but it'll be back up soon, I'm sure.

personally, I like the old radio from the eng. build better. it seems to pick up 3G better. I'm not sure about battery yet. I just flashed it late last night.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
the radio is what controls your cell signal. basically, this is a newer software for the radio portion of the phone not the entire OS software. see, we lost the radio that came with our phones during the root/eng. build flashing and this will regain it. of course, if the one your using doesnt have an issue, dont flash it!

Re: Newest Slide Radio Update

Sounds like you might have to adb push again.

Did you Factory Reset / Wipe first before applying update.zip??

Sent from my -rooted- myTouch 3G slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
nah, thats not necessary if you have root and flashed eng. build

oh btw, wipings are only required if you flash an entire new rom not on a radio only.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Longsh0t:
Yes. I have update.zip on my sd card from when I rooted the other day.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
did you flash the engineering build too? and made sure you had root?

You'd be surprised but I finished the entire root process 3 times and still didnt have root... make sure you have the update.zip from this and not the one from root. linkage: http://outboundlink.net/anxo/dr_ta_...p://www.4shared.com/file/axhY1a-i/update.html
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Longsh0t:
I used QuickBoot which asked for SU permissions so root is enabled. I ended up following the directions from the root thread to just get into the recovery mode and was able to apply the radio update. I did not flash the engineering build.

Using the update.zip you provided still gives me the same error as before, however.

YOU MUST FLASH THE ENGINEERING BUILD to load custom roms using your phone!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Wait you never flashed the engineering build at all? then what was the purpose of re flashing the same radio? If you have flashed engineering before, you only need to do it that one time.

Sgt, you're not going to see the "H" light up on your slide if that's what you're looking for to indicate the HDSPA+ network.

Right on. I knew what the radio did, just not how to flash just the radio and not a new rom. I wouldn't say I'm having issues but battery life has been pretty ****ty since I got the phone. Of course, I have startled and amazed people with stories of my G1 going up to 24 hours without a charge while using full data services. (No kidding. I must have received the one decent battery out of all the G1s.) So I'm darn spoiled on battery life and I'll try anything to get this thing to stay on longer.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
It is supposed to, but if 3g, E, or H are still transmitting they will show up with wifi. The radio is supposed to shut down one to run the other, but apparently there is some overlap.

I've got a question about this update. I just rooted my MTS so my phone is good in that aspect, but is there a way to do this update without going back to the engineering build rom?

So, I had to revert back to the SlidemeRoot2 rom, being a tow truck driver, need my KB lit up so I can, well, you know...

Ive noticed, even after re-updating the New Radio, I dont get H speeds anymore on this rom. Is it just me? It worked flawlessly on LegendToSlide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] motorjonny:
The Legend rom does not give you faster download speeds, it just notifies you when you are connected to the new hspa i believe. I have speed tested constantly the last 2 weeks and noticed right when they upgraded my local boosters or whatever the parts are, and I started going from .5-1mbps to 1-3.5mpbs.. It was the TMo upgrades that did this and not one of these roms... just coincidental that some people didn't realize.

I see alot of fluctuation in the speeds... maybe due to the newness of the hspa.. I am hoping they crank it up faster once they release the Rocket web stick.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] IndikuT:
I can almost agree with you; except for this:

I live 16miles from TMo Corporate.

On Legend I was testing speeds, and Avg Peaks were 5-6mbps, whereas SlidemeRoot Speedtests are barely banking 2mbps. I've bounced back and forth between roms, each have their Cons/Pros (Respectively).. :/

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I don't understand how you all are getting different speeds from various radio and rom updates. That doesn't make any sense...

Although, on my G1, there was a file you could modify and change some HSPA/GPRS values around. I wonder if they are different on the legend versus the modded slide rom. Oh, the file name is build.prop located in the /system folder on the MTS.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Longsh0t:
Not sure if this was caused by the radio update but my device is constantly attempting to sync. For example, no changes are made to my calendar or contacts and yet when a sync begins it lasts for hours and does not end until I actually cancel it.

Only issue I came across from this behavior was when I was attempting to check movies times using the Flickster app. The phone was still trying to sync and the app would time out. Not sure if they're related, however.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
This issue is occurring even with stock. Some people have suggested it's related to T-Mobile contact sync, but I turn that off first thing after wiping my phone and I've still seen the sync icon persist.

It does, however, eventually go away if you just leave it be. After wiping and installing SlideM yesterday the sync icon was up and active for about 3 hours. Then it just went away on its own.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thatduderob:
I have been getting that constant SYNC for about a week. This is with the stock load and radio. After removing exchange accounts, a pop account, uninstalling most apps and turning off sync the only thing i found to stop it was a task killer. Not sure what it killed to stop the sync. I just rooted it (finally had the time) and loaded eugene's slideM rom. (thought maybe something in sense was syncing). Noticed the sync still going (reset up exchange and pop). Than updated the radio. Low and behold still getting sync.... Think it might be google at this point.. Anyone else's phone syncing like longshot's and mine??

perhaps something is missing from the slideme roms that isnt catching the full hspa?? i

guys your sync issues dont belong here, sorry. as far as the legend rom getting faster HSPA speeds... let me look at the build.prop file from the legend rom and compare the two. maybe the values for HSPA differ somewhere?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
Fine, the answer is, when you reboot the phone or power of and on, the sync issue will appear again. just cancel sync to tmobile contact, check sync, and uncheck it, then sync all. the issue will be gone until next reboot...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
okay, I just checked the build.prop from the legend rom and the others and the network values are the same. obviously, one is not faster than the other in terms of network speeds.

I know the Regular mT3G only had Band IV as well was this bypassed?
