GSM Hero Radio

This is probably a silly question as some people say they have it working in the UK but it this for the GSM Hero?

I'd rather ask a silly question then f**k up my phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
ya it is for the GSM Hero/ Not the CDMA One :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Flashed Radio just now, works on China Mobile -) seems everything works great. & I can see phone signal strength is improved far beyond .. definitely worth it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theSpam:
Awesome :) ...it works well with your unlocked SPL?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sonnysoul:
I'm on O2 in the UK and it works fine for me.

One thing I've noticed is the Wifi seems to connect so much quicker now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
just flashed it on my Hero on Proximus in Belgium and working fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
Personally I went back to the 6.35.15.14 radio as the only difference I saw was 2 random reboots with in 8 hours
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
ya it works great with unlocked SPL .. No issues so far -)

@ Higgsy

No random reboot yet its been like 5 Hours..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] amrit1986:
Thanks dude!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Fantastic so far!!

I got to flashing it twice to make it works properly, but now I have a really good

battery life, and I get the signal where before I couldn't in my house!!!

Thanks!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chasejones8:
Just posting to confirm that this works on the unbranded, factory unlocked HTC Hero on T-Mobile USA. I haven't noticed a difference yet but it's only been about 15 minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Tmobile UK with elelinux new Rom works a treat. Improved WiFi and mobile data definate. GPS found me in the garage within seconds. Nice radio indeed :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smakme7757:
I just flashed this radio for the sake of it, never actually done this before. The GPS works fine and the wireless signal is good. My carrier is Netcom here in Norway and i get full signal strength with them.

So far so good! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Flashed it myself. Seem to work pretty good so far. Haven't noticed any difference yet from the previous one.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
My question is : Do you have to flash the radio without sim inserted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Maverick-:
I've always flashed radios with the sim card in the phone, but I don't see it being a problem if you flash your phones radio without the sim.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaikat:
"is there a difference between flashing the radio over a running rom" and "flashing the radio after a full wipe and then flashing the rom"?

i'm asking this because the time and date on my device changed (way back to 1980 :) after i flashed over the rom i'm using (fusion).

Does anyone knows how the lastest radio preforms with the Elelinux FroYo 2.2 ROM with flykernel 11c?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
It works perfectly, so don't wait and flash it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
As far as i know it doesn't matter, but i'm not an expert i just read it a couple of times on some forums.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
Thanks for the quick respons! Will flash when my battery is 100% ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
It works also in Switzerland with Orange network. 2g/3g, wifi, GPS, all is right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waylander77:
Currently running on this radio.

Have had a couple of reboots when starting CoPilot.

But it is definitely better on voice. And I have been able to connect to my companies ZoomX6 wifi, which have never been able to do in the past (known problems with the Hero and certain routers).

So I would give a thumbs up.

Oh and I am on Orange in the UK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Running on Elelinux Froyo R1,

it works perfect.

No 3G dropdowns, better signal strength, higher transfer rates in 3G and Wifi (but only minimal), increased call quality. I am really impressed.

I'm pretty sure that the Market problem is a Market issue not a radio issue. Try the Market fix which Elelinux posted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I buzz off this radio... I get HSDPA signal in my house now... I only used to be able to pick up an average 2G signal... and where I could get low HSDPA at work it is now full! ... GPS lock is also quicker.

So I Flashed the previous radio but this don't fix it.

How is it possible?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Anyone have an issue with calls randomly going to Voice mail...

I did a test and called my cell phone multiple times and 2 of 10 calls just went to voice mail. Then I downgraded to an older radio and every call worked... then again tested this radio and again some calls dropped and went to voice mail...

the radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 calls never goto voice mail but no working GPS..

this radio some calls just goto voice mail and the phone does not ring even when showing 4 bars signal but GPS locks in 5sec indoors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
Can confirm this radio works well... on both O2 UK and t-mobile UK..

Better Wifi.Better GPS faster lock and more stable and better Voice.... Signal is far better in areas I only just got signal with both networks and in some case get a signal where never used too... Also DATA is much improved too, I can actually get decent data access when in hills/mountains when before was hit and miss.....

DON'T wait about just update you will not regret it folks..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Some feedback for you.

I just performed the same test. Out of 10 calls, all went through fine.

Lost Google account

I lost my Google account after flashing this... and I can't add a new one, it's just not on the list. WTF?!

EDIT: I tried it many times, from different nandroid backups. And after flashing this radio and reboot twice, Google is gone. Flashing back good-old radio, restoring nandroid backup and restarting many times, Google is still there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mach2005:
Radio working fine

Only difference for me is an incredible fast GPS fix in five seconds. Rest is the same.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Yet another update.

So I wiped the phone and started over. After installing my ROM and re-flashing the radio (in case that actually helped) everything is cool now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
can't see why the radio would effect the OS..... Seems very odd.....Radio and os roms are separate and not linked. May be some one with tech know how could explain lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Installed this on my phone yesterday... after 24hrs use it seems to hold signal really well and get GPS lock quicky ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Radio is cool T-Mobile UK, sorry for previous duff report..it did play up on first flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Agree with everyone who said that the voice quality is better!!Actually outstanding for me!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Better battery life (because the signal is better), fast GPS fix and faster 3G speeds with the new update!

Highly reccomended from me too! 3 UK is my network

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nx6:
After flashing this my Hero went into infinite-reboot mode. It would reboot perhaps a minute after leaving the startup logo. For some reason however, it was not enough to just re-flash the old radio. It was still rebooting spontaneously. Even wiping and re-flashing everything didn't help. In frustration I pulled the battery and let it lie over-night, and then in the morning I again re-flashed and now everything worked.

Later, I made another attempt to flash this radio, with the same result - endless reboots. Thankfully this time it was enough to flash the old radio.

I have no idea what caused this but be aware that there could be some risk associated with flashing this radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjaanjean:
Did you check md5sum? Perhaps the file was just corrupted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nx6:
No. But I just did and it wasn't. In any case if I remember correctly there's an internal checksum and the updater won't flash a corrupted file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
ya corrupted files mostly says installation aborted .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbo2k:
Iam a little confused due to all the posts.

I need the radio rom as zip file for the German Hero GSM version.

Thanx !

For me it's VR12, and Flykernel (recent change - testing... but looks good !).

What was your previous ROM ? I have problem with network.. sometimes my hero completely looses GSM signal ! And few seconds later, it gets back. Without changing place of course... very strange.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
on O2 UK this has become the radio from hell.. works perfect for T-mobile UK.. But O2 in areas it used to have 70% or more signal strength it drops the signal and takes forever to come back and then at only 5-10%!!!!!!!!!!!! so flashed back last update as that works great...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
I like to update my radio (63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14) and I have a swiss free hero.

But I don't understand what this PH or in the new one SU means. Is this important or can I use all the radios without problems?

Pleas can you help me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I don't know in details what the "U" or "H" stand for. It seems to be reversible because when I flash the "PH", it shows "PU" in the system informations (or the opposite, I don't remember).

But the first letter: "P" or "S" shows the version.

"S" is newer than "P".

My Hero is also swiss and free! I go with Orange. The last version "S" is good. You can go for a try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
thanks, it works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrazyDelta:
I am curious to know if Radios could be region or country specific. There was a point that I was always updating to the latest radio. But I started noticing my full data connection would often break off. Or my Gtalk would often disconnect, etc etc.

Recently I've had to unroot my phone coz I had to send it for repairs for the touchscreen, and with the local Hong Kong rom and radio that comes with it, I do not have these data connection cut-offs.

Anyone else with an opinion on this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Outstanding!!! Just flash it now on 3UK and I got a blazing internet speed!!! GPS also locked in only 5 sec!! Skype quality, awesome!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] factualpuddle:
Would do anything for my radio? its PH, i've never updated it before.. but as i posted before, i'm having trouble with 3G. . . and am willing to try damn near anything, but.. if it doesn't work.. how do i get my old one back? =/

If the new radio does not work out for you, you can always try one of the others in the list.

i shall try that, think that may be the reason for me not having any 3G at all..? And my current Radio isn't listed there... mine has a PH in it? what if i flash and it doesn't work..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
You can always flash the previous one or any other, if it won't work.
[Wildfire General] realxception:
Is it possible to lock n unlock screen without using power button,( with help of touch alone) ?

I dont like pressing power button often..

pl reply...
[Wildfire General] g3lo:
Same here. Been trying to find an app or widget to put my wildfire on standby without having to press the power button. Thanks.
[Wildfire General] phunctionist:
I could suggest you guys two things (not entirely what you're looking for but...close enough :-D ):

- using a custom ROM that allows you to wake up with trackpad (i think WildPuzzle has that)

- using an app called No Lock ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/no-lock/org.jraf.android.nolock ). With this on, you only need to press the power button, no longer swype down (or sideways) to unlock ;-)
[Wildfire General] g3lo:
hi phunctionist.

tried the second option you suggested and it works pretty well. only problem is I need it the other way around (put the device on standby, not to wake it up)

thanks anyway. i will still give this a try.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
Hi guys,

Wonddering if I could get your thoughts about the step up that the Desire HD will be in terms of performance and functionality? I have the option of upgrading to one for an extra $120.

Pros I can think of so far:

- 4.3" vs 3.7" screen but not that much bigger weight/size wise

- More RAM

- 1.5GB onboard memory

- Faster 45nm Snapdragon processor

- Better Camera (8MP), dual LED flash - according to the engadget review though its still a "camera phone" and thus is only really for random snaps.

Cons:

- Same problem as G2 (Desire Z) with only temporary root

- If the above problem is not solved, slower updates, no custom ROMs

Any other thoughts? My other concern is that the bigger screen aside, performance and functionality wise it doesn't do anything in particular that the N1 can't. However, is $120 a cheap enough jump?

Look forward to your thoughts.

cheers :)
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
My recommendation is to wait for the Christmas. Google may have a surprise for us (nexus 2? Probably not, but maybe something else), Samsung just said they are announcing a new phone on Nov 3..
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
Im thinking of upgrading also! Will wait around for a bit longer though
[Nexus One General] bfspider:
I'm sitting tight until I see more infos about the rumored N2 :)
[Nexus One General] x986123:
Yes, it is. I want to. I love the new Sense UI.

I might just wait until Motorola's and HTC's Tegra 2 dual core phones show up Christmas.

Thanks. Nov 8th* though, not 3rd. Should be interesting... :cool:
[Nexus One General] PhoenixAG:
I have both and I must say, the big screen makes SO MUCH of a difference!

When I put them side by side, the HD's screen just looks amazing! Clear and sharp, I have to remind myself that its still at the same resolution.

And of course, watching movies, reading comics, books, playing games, etc. is all much better.

I think its worth the upgrade.

Another point - No more worrying about A2SD. My N1 has A2SD enabled to be able to take the number of apps I have installed (DHD has same apps and also 680MB free mem still).

The battery life, OTOH, is still to be tested. I know I get great battery life with enomther's rom on my N1. The DHD feels more like I have cyanogen's rom on it ;)
[Nexus One General] jeallen0:
I want the desirehd as well, but theres two things im gonna wait for... 1 - permament root, 2 - 2.3 based CM rom.

Thats my two cents.
[Nexus One General] bedwa:
I personally won't go with any phone that cannot have permanent root. I like to tinker too much.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Woops, 8, not 3. Sorry.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
Thanks for the input everyone. I'll see what happens when it arrives in 2 weeks. I think at this stage the only thing which would make me keep it is for the extra 0.6" screen size.

I'm also getting a 10" tablet too, so the extra size may be redundant as I transfer some of my tasks across.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
My question to you, OP, is how often are you capable of upgrading your phone? Are you gonna be stuck with this phone for a while? If you're financially capable of upgrading let's say every 6 months with no problem at all, then i don't see why not, more phones to play with. You'd still be able to get the next best thing come first half of next year.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
I don't upgrade all that often for the sake of it. I've recalculated (correctly) and its actually going to cost me $270 for the upgrade :(

Which in my opinion probably isn't worth it in regards to the step up it provides relative to the N1.

If I really want to upgrade I might get a Vibrant, which has similar specs to the Desire HD, but which is about the same price as the N1 at the moment.

Thanks for your input!
[Nexus One General] dr.m0x:
Dhd is a mean phone, no bones about it but the no hacking thing is a little bit of a turn off for me.

Gonna wait for a bit to see what the nexus two will be like first. After all the google phone will always be the development phone and ergo the hackers phone.

For a person who doesn't wish to hack and just wants a good phone I would recommend the dhd over anything else on the market right now however.
[Nexus One General] unowho:
It does look pretty smart but the one thing I would say is 4.3" isn't very friendly on the thumb if your hands are of an average/large size.

I get to play with a lot of phones and the Touch HD and Nexus One/Desire thereafter were built with the optimum size screen for touch/visibility (in my opinion).

I used an HD7 today and just like the HD2 it looks great but it really is a stretch to use one hand to operate all areas of the screen.

It's definitly impressive but I should be able to hold my cuppa in one hand and browse etc with the other.

I really hope with the big willy competition going on with the manufacturers that the usability (which lets be honest is checking mails,texts, social media and browsing for most users) isn't completely forgotten about.

Hopefully 3.7" will survive.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
+1 the temp root thing is making me wary of changing too.

Hopefully it gets solved, but like the Droid it may never be.. :(

Nothing against the DHD itself, but thanks guys for reinforcing that relative to the N1 the DHD is not that much of a step up.
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
So a mate got this phone last night. I had a play around with it for a little bit. ITS BLOODY HUGE!! 4.3" i think is just too big! Build quality etc seems very good. nice screen but just a bit to big for my liking! Has some nice new options though with Sense 2.0

At work we got the Omnia 7 (WP7) which has a 4" screen. Now this i think is the perfect size!
[Nexus One General] teihoata:
I upgraded to a desire hd after my nexus one broke. The desire hd feels a lot more expensive than the nexus but in my opinion not worth an upgrade. I miss the hackability of my old nexus and I especially miss cyanogen mod.

Don't get me wrong, overclocking the desire hd to speeds around 1.5ghz added with the better gpu makes for one hell of a speedy device. It's a great phone but its not that much better
