Was constant 87 dbm with the 7.28 radio, upgraded to the 9.1 now im at 82 dbm....still kinda high but better signal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] metalcated:
Absolutely nothing to do with this thread... GO CUSE! ;-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
can you use 1x radio in froyo i would think not ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
yes you can. works fine actually. just no camcorder or 720p recording
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
o ya for got about 720 :mad:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
going to try 2.07.00.07.16.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
We have a wild man!, lol. I tried the newest 2.15, wifi crapped on me, so I am trying 2.05 since i never been on it and i like it better than the ota 2.15
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I think no Wifi N unless you use a kernel that enables it on 1.xx radio. Pre 2.xx Radio hydra kernels could enable N.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whitepaint:
Flashed the newest 2.15 radio this morning and so far I cant say Im seeing much signal gain, But I feel like I'm seeing a more steady signal readout.. Feel like I'm not seeing nearly as much fluctuation of bars or -dbm. This is coming from one day of use.. But its being used in the same places I use it everyday, and one of my biggest annoyances has been how my signal seems to have a life of its own. Full bars, no bars, 2 bars, 1 bar...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
I no longer have the full bar fluctuation either with the new radio. I like it better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbishop18:
I tried 3 different radios, 2.05, 2.15, and 9.01, and I get -91 dbm with 05, and -87 dbm with .15 and 9.01.I am gonna stick with 9.01 and see if it effects the battery. Will let you know.

incredible with skyraider 3.0 rc3 and kings 2 bfs
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trimax84:
Trying the 9.01 radio....so far so good. Signal seems about the same, maybe slightly better. Currently stable at -80 dBm
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kcannon:
I put the .zip on my SDcard and when I go into bootloader it says no image or wrong image. showing the zip as its trying to do it. I have S-Off. Any solutions?

Then Real Quicikly I think it says Parsing? Im not positive. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] eX_675:
downgraded to 2.07.00.07.16, battery life has jumped up to approx 10 mins during screen on, non-use. Even under use it's lasting way longer than the 2.15 radio. Signal strength is the same. Ran quadrant and got a score of 1444 vs 1325 & linpack of 38 vs 31-32. OC'd 1113 w/ King's BFS#2 on interactive. So much happier now! didn't know why I waited to do this.

Edit: just broke 1501 on quadrant
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itisjustme:
This is what I am seeing also. I have not noticed any other differences outside of a more steady signal indicator. It appears like they programmed some dampening into the indicator. I am curious to see if there is an effect on battery life. I noticed much better battery life on 2.05 as compared to the first 2.15 radio. It is hard for me to assess the battery of 2.15.00.09.01 on the weekend as I am doing a lot of flashing on and off of the power, not my typical daily use to make a good comparison.

I am running:

Radio: 2.15.00.09.01

ROM: Virtuous 2.6 (what an excellent rom)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Dbm's can vary +/- 10 db depending on how you hold the device.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
at least its not as bad as the iPhone 4... it can vary +/- 1000db lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Do you have it in white?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
That made me laugh!

Think I'll sit on the sidelines for a few days on this one. Just got my phone in a condition I can live with and not be continuously messing around and tweaking it.

I'm sure I'll get bored in a day or two and start screwing around with this new radio (currently the old 2.15), new kernals, and ROMs, but for now.... peace and relative serenity. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
Lol I'm the same way..once I think I have the phone how I like it, a dev post something that I have to try..my gf gets mad cause I don't pay attention to her during rom changes lol she don't know.. our phones are like cars!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] odumatt:
Anyone else try the hotspot root with the new radio? Not working for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
I never could get it to work, after the commit, the screen just stayed there frozen.. I downgraded to the 2.07 radio yday..i read your post and tried the dun removal again just now and it worked perfectly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odumatt:
Time to downgrade I guess. I use the tether, but hotspot is nice to have too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] douger1957:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fahrenheit:
How much do you want to bet that the the signal increases some people notice is pure placebo effect?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
How much do you want to bet that you could never prove it, even if it were? ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itisjustme:
I think this is true with all the radios so far. I have not seen any signal difference measured in -dbm between any of them. I would bet there are some bug fixes in 2.15.00.09.01 but after running it for two days the only thing I have noticed is a more steady or dampened signal bar indicator.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] douger1957:
Considering those damned signal bars were the number two complaint about the Incredible after the battery, it's probably enough to shut a lot of people up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tmfamas:
hey folks, i just got it working

and heres what i did wrong: ether my fast formatting the SD card or my reformatting the SD card in the phone made it FAT not FAT32 again.

should have double checked before posting, many thanks to adrynalyne
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
I want to try out the newest 2.15 radio. If for some reason i don't like it, can I switch back to the first release of 2.15? I do have s off
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GermanBrat:
Yes you can
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
Thanks! Just checking before I do it. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Where I live every cell phone gets 1 bar. No matter what radio I've had it hasn't helped me.

:p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NewUserNeedsHelp:):
Ok, as my name suggests I'm new here and I don't know that much. I'm running stock 2.1 w/ root and a 1.x radio but I'm not sure if I have s-off. I ran the unrevoked forever but is there any way that I can confirm it was successful? Also, I've read through all the posts in this thread but I can't decide which radio would be best for me. Any suggestions? If I flash one and don't like it can I always flash to a different one? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hydrored:
power off phone- power on phone while holding volume down and it will tell you s-on or s-off on the H boot screen. I would not recommend flashing new radios all the time as there is a better chance of bricking your phone when doing radio updates. Do some more research before attempting this as the whole s-off is pretty basic and you don't seem to have that covered
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NewUserNeedsHelp:):
Ok the top line says Incrediblec xc ship s-off so I'm assuming that means that it worked. I've already done a bit of research but can you tell me where I can go to learn more?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmazz850:
So providing we have s-off, can we flash a radio file up or down? Or do you have to ruu to go down in radio? By up or down i mean version wise.

For example can i flash from 2.15.00.09.01>2.15.00.07.28?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hydrored:
correct your phone now has s-off and you can apply radio updates without having to revert to stock
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hydrored:
correct. Again I do not recommend flashing radios all the time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fretless:
is there a particular radio that improves significantly on 2.15.00.07.28?

EDIT: I've read the whole thread and i'm not sure theres a consensus.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NewUserNeedsHelp:):
Thanks!

Does that mean twice in succession or can you flash a radio then flash to another then flash back to the first? I know it's not recommended to flash radios a lot I just want to have all the bases covered
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Flashing the same radio should be fine. That was only true if the radio was a patch file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Larion:
FWIW, I have tried all of them and the best radio for me in terms of performance, speed test results and stability is 2.07 radio. And with the King's BFS #2 kernel and SetCPU set to interactive (top frequency is 1075) my download speed is getting as high as 2Mbits/s and I am in the area with -80 - 90db. I do not know what HTC did with latest radios but it appears as if they are throttling download speed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Ugh

Stop it stop it stop it. Ugh, this will NEVER die. UnrEVOked released ONE update ONCE in the form of a patch (which, of course, you can't apply twice) and this has spawned a ridiculous amount of misinformation through the forums now on multiple flashing. For those reading this, please stop perpetuating the incorrect advice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
I flashed the new radio coming from the original 2.15. No help in signal strength. I decided to try the 2.05 radio and saw	a much better signal. Went from -97 to -84. Here's a screenshot.

GPS

I have not flashed beyond the 2.15 which came with the update, but I used to get GPS lock instantly with 1.0.0.3.4.6 and now it takes quite some time with 2.15 :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
Liking 2.05 so far...i started with 2.15.9.1...I've not had 3g drop, the signal is between 74-82dbm, able to use hotspot dun hack, gps works..

Call quality its clearer.... so far its been good for me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enomele:
All I care about knowing is if they fixed the damn 3g drop with 09.01. Can believe they released the ota with that stupid bug.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] -Michael_:
Been Running it since Adryn Posted it with no 3g drop. This is also the only improvement I have noticed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
No Change for me

Running the new 2.15 in Los Angeles; no changes on anything. Still a little ticked at how long 2.15 takes to get a GPS lock, when v1.x was almost instant.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Using 9.01, I still lose 3G ocassionally on a fresh power up. Using the airline mode trick works, and only take a few seconds, so i don't mind much.

I will say that on 2.1, i did have the bug where 3g would be gone after powering on the phone from standby, and would come back after two more power button presses.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cu-n-az:
Radio linked to hboot?

I thought that the radio and hboot were linked. I'm on 2.15.00.07.28 radio but I still have hboot 0.77. Any idea why that is? ... and what to do about it? Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Not sure where you got that idea.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cu-n-az:
Radio and hboot

I'm not sure either. It's something that I think I "learned" in the earliest days of my reading up on rooting, modding, etc. If it's not true, that's fine. Thanx!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
Which ROM are you using with the 2.07 radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Larion:
I am using Virtuous 2.5 ROM right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Does a radio firmware update affect BT in any way?

And those of you listing your before and after signal readings, I hope you are taking the readings with the phone in the EXACT same position and physical surroundings for both. Otherwise stop posting them!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aeroorion83:
Running 2.15.xx I've noticed some GPS issues too. Lock takes longer, and updates are MUCH less frequent and somewhat irregular. Which if using a GPS speedo app really blows because I need to use them frequently. Hope there is a fix for that, because they seem to hold connections better out in my crappy connection area I spend a lot of time in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
Look at my sig. Or use search function top right on your webernets. So many post EXACTLY like this one here.

I just love HTC's decision to place antennae at the bottom of the phone where it is most natural to hold it. I notice 10db difference mattering how I hold my phone...and I'm gonna get cancer

[Droid Incredible Android Development] daftlush:
With ...09.01 my 3G drops to 1x for a couple of seconds every time I send a text. (both CM6 and Redemption.) Is this the dropping you guys are talking about or are you referring to random drops of 3G.?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathan_barstow14:
The 3G will literally just turn off and on. Not switch back and forth from 3G to 1X, but acts as if you turn mobile network off and on repeatedly. Switching from 3G to 1X to send a text is normal as text messages are not sent over the 3G data network.

FWIW, I just flashed the 2.07 radio, and last night I was getting really bad 3G dropping. Is there any newer 2.x radio anyone hasn't been experiencing this with?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Sorry, can't say that I have experienced any 3G drops. I just moved down the street and didn't have any internet service, so I used wireless tether and it was fine over 3g for as long as I was using it..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JLO155:
I flashed it, and it seems to work well for me. GPS seems better with this one for me, the 2.05x and the other 2.15x radio would always have my location wrong in Google Maps until I turned on the satellite. 3G seems a little faster and a slightly better call signal in this area as well.

Does anyone know if the newer radio corrects the slower charging issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Google Maps can't get your location accurately until you turn GPS on... it can only guess based on which cell tower you're connected to. Did you have WiFi on when Maps got your location accurately with GPS off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JLO155:
Good question....I went back and checked this, and it seems like when I have WiFi on, I do not get a good location at all. Even if the satellites are on. I have to turn off WiFi, and enable the satellite to get an accurate location.

Otherwise the location is off by 120 miles!

My fiancee calls my phone my girlfriend. She says if I played with her as often as I did my phone she'd probably have to go to Nymphos Anonymous. :P

To be honest, I don't see how anyone would think that'd change anything. Aren't radio updates basically like installing new hardware drivers? Just updating the software that controls the GPS/Wifi/CMDA/etc. circuitry?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Just rooted and flashed CM6 and was wondering which of these radios would be best to flash? I usually would do the newer one but since it's a leak would you guys recommend doing the official Froyo radio?

I cant get my Dinc to update from 2.15.00.07.28 to 2.15.00.09.01. I boot to Hboot and it scans the SD but then doesn't ask to update. I tried booting to clockworkmod and doing it and it still doesn't change. Any suggestions. My S is set to off as stated on the Hboot screen.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
is anyone else having gps issues today? i updated to the 9.01 radio last night, and this morning noticed that my gps was off by a good 2-3 blocks (200+ feet) when standing still...when moving it seemed to be more accurate, but once stopped it started having issues again.

downgraded back to the official 2.15, but it's still off...any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Already answered.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Yeah, I was a little too vague with that edit. It wasn't posted in response to your question, so please accept my apology for the apparent rudeness of it...

I had originally posted a reply to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8093014&postcount=126 indicating that the radio doesn't control the phone's rate of charge. However, hazard666 had already beat me to the punch, so I simply edited my redundant reply.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
ahh, no worries... :-) just wish someone could help me figure out why my gps is way off today...it's causing me major foursquare problems.

edit, note: found this on twitter: http://twitter.com/joshfleischmann/status/24330125827

that made it a little better, but it's still rather far off. i have it down to being only one city block off now instead of 2 or 3, but it's still off...

edit2: oddly enough, upgrading back to the 9.01 radio after doing the twitter fix (unmount gps, power off, remove battery) seems to have fixed it...either that or it randomly fixed itself. very strange...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I apologize if i missed it, but with the 9.01 radio, i noticed that the 720P video option is gone for me (Virtuous 2.6 Rom, KingKernal 4). Not a huge deal, but i was surprised to see it missing...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
The way to get 720p, is you have to select "Custom" in the settings, then 720 will be available. Is it gone or just grayed out?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Never found anything referring to "custom" anywhere in the settings, but i did get it back after selection MPEG4 as the recording format..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bmoke:
My Incredible runs Virtuous 2.6, with no video issues. In the camcorder settings menu you should see separate fields for "resolution" and "encoding type". If you select the MPEG4 "encoding type", then you will be presented with several selections for resolution, including 720. You get there by going to All Apps > Camcorder > Menu > Video > Settings (this is the pull down with the "gears" icon. In this menu, you will see those separate items for resolution and encoding type. Hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
Not to get off topic, but is the PRL location dependent? I just updated before posting this and I'm on 51920?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
I think it depends on which area you are in. Mine is also at 51920. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
Virtuous is a Sense based ROM...so if the person is running AOSP rom, it is different and some of them do have camera/camcorder issues. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
Open the camera app, slide over for video...then when you tap the screen, there are four icons that appear...tap the first one and select "custom" then tap the last one and your video should be at 720p. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DocTauri:
Bricked?

I rooted my stock 2.2 Inc yesterday with Unrevoked 3.2, everything worked fine. I then loaded the 2.15.00.09.01 radio linked here, again, worked great. This morning I decided I was going to remove some bloatware (CityID, Skype, etc), so turned off the phone so I could boot into recovery. Went into HBoot, but realized I still had the PB31IMG.zip file from the radio update on my SD card. The HBoot was waiting at a "Do you want to update?" prompt, so I pulled the battery. That's when things turned to crap. I haven't been able to boot past the white logo screen since then. I can still boot into HBoot, but everything I select from there results in the same logo screen lockup.

So is there a solution or am I screwed?

Thanks,

Doc
