I don't see how this app will help? The problem is not getting a gps fix but loosing it again!
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
this is exact my problem.

Edit: Tested GPS Fix and switched to radio Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M. But still loosing GPS fix aber 3-5 mins.
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
so, this worked for me a while back when I was having similar issues using MIUI roms, and you just need to do it once off: GPS Status & Toolbox. Open app >> Menu >> Tools >> Manage A-GPS State >> Reset >> Menu >> Tools >> Manage A-GPS State >> Download
[Desire HD General] hama2:
I have No Problems

GPS Fix and Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M

all works fine..
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
You may laugh, but did this as well. Still lossing GPS fix after some minutes.

But I don't think my GPS reciever is broken. If it has been broken, there won't be any fix.
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
mmm.. I would flash another rom and compare, can't really think of anything else.
[Desire HD General] mossywell:
Have you tied the trick of removing the small backcover where the flash is (and the aerial) and raising the contacts a little? There's a thread about it aroun d somewhere and a youtube video?
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
This is the GPS reciever I think. The video I saw is about how to change it.

But I haven't any spare parts to change it.
[Desire HD General] LorD ClockaN:
That trick also increases gps signal!

As I told you yesterday.. I tried with copilot and NO losing fix, than I tried google maps and it looses fix...
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
Nothing helped, yet. Currently downloading Navigon Select to test a alternate GPS software.
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
mmm.. I'm interested in your results. are you sure it's not rom-related dude?
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
Currently no GPS connection abortings with Navigon Select. Will have a secound test tomorrow.

Rey told me a few minutes ago that he's currently uploading a new MIUI Version. Will test it, too.

Lord Clockan told me via Twitter that hss problem with Google Navigation just like me.

I think this problem relies to Google Navi and Cyanogen Mod.
[Desire HD General] mossywell:
No, no spare parts needed. You already have everything you need.
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
Do you mean just releasing and reattaching the GPS antenna?

Well, this makes sense when it get's no connection. But my GPS connects well, just looses the connection with Google Navigation all time.

I thinks this is software and not hardware related.

wonderful, this GPS problem is still a mystery. I am also in the s**t. Now I just surrendered. I don't want to send the phone to support....it would take forever and I am too lazy to do all the shipping things.

I reply just to tell you that I tried many different radios with cyanogen, stock rom, miui, rcmixhd. With and WITHOUT cover. the gps never worked properly. It worked though...i could get a fix with GPS status, the problem is that was never quick or was never stable. Using google navigator is just a dream....i surrendered. I will try though this Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M now. It is very new, it was not here yet when I tried all the other radios.

[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
At which step of this guide are u stuck mate?

Please be more specific.

Two things that come first.

1) Go in bootloader (while booting press and hold volume down) and tell us if the first line reads PVT ENG S-OFF

2) When you type the command "fastboot flash radio radio.img" make sure u type radio TWO times in a row like it says in the instructions.

Do this and report back.

Thew new korean radio have given me the infamous Echo problem when talking to somone, both parts has it, or sometimes only 1 part.

Going back to the usual M2 for 2.50base removes this echo, might not be worldwide problem, but atleast for me with Telenor in Sweden.
[Desire HD General] roboMr.Burns:
What Rom are you using?
[Desire HD General] fidorulz:
Tested the new Korean radio for a while and seems not to perform as well for me as newest telus radio.

Find it takes longer to get signal on 3g and gets lots of reception spikes.

Also radio likes to goto 2g in low 3g areas faster then previous radio.This is an issue as lower 3G service is still better then low 2G service for voice calls

I'm using rogers in canada running android revolution

For all radio testing I do the following tests

I would recommend doing comparisons using this app

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.android.telnet

Gives you great info and graphs on db signal strength for wifi and wireless network.Shows you also tower info and handoffs as well as tower location on google maps

For tests I compare current radio in same location (wifi and 3G) and leave the screen timeout to 5min

you will have a pretty good idea on the average signal from the graph.

Then install the new radio and do the same test.

Thats what I call my standby test

After that I do a mobile test. There is an elevator in my office where when going from 1 floor to another I get borderline service.

So I start the app prior to going in and monitor the lowers signal and handoffs and then do the same with the new radio
[Desire HD General] shaboobla:
Near ottawa area on telus network in canada, tried using Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M but experienced ultra battery drain. Went back to Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M and everything was better.

Not sure if it was using more power for my signal or what but it was like 4x of the battery usage I normally experience.
[Desire HD General] humbi83:
New Radio 2X wifi & solved 3g call connectivity

Hi, My exp with this one is:

3g signal strength as the previous one but NO more lost call problems when in low signal areas (I was actually looking to switch radios when this new ver appeared).

WIFI transfer almost doubled from ~17/17 D/U Mb to 35/25 D/U Mb. I was looking over smartphone reviews on anandtech and this download stream speed beats up everything.

3G from 2.5/0.3 to 3/1.5 D/U Mb.

Battery seems similar.

For me this is a keeper.

I have a low point in my house and I was standing there during the call and only after I've finished the call I realized that before I could not actually do it. It switches less on 2G.

[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Here is my review on the latest korean radio (Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M).

I have tested with Leedroid 3.3.1 & Kernel 3.2.0 CFS.

My findings:

I am quite amazed at the change in phone signal reception. I have used (network signal info app) from market to compare radio reception. Of course I used the same locations for comparison. WIth the recommended radio, I was getting full signal but ONLY (GPRS) which is 2G:(. With this one I am getting (UMTS) signal at all locations :D. Maybe the signal is weaker but it's steady and for my country, I'm really amazed compared to my previous experience. My signal reception was really bad compared to this one.

However, I noticed one big problem which drove me to return back to the GB recommended radio at once:

The first time I entered Google maps, it showed a map with Chinese (or similar) characters and the map, maybe of Korea. I didn't have the time to notice as it drove me back to my location. I discovered later, at different locations that wherever I went, google maps would show me a few kms away. When I enter my car and drove for a while, it was detected correctly but at still locations, my location was too far from real. Now, at my home, it showed me a few neighbourhoods away but it quickly showed my home. That wasn't the case with my today's trip where I tested this at several places and it failed.

Wif-fi reception was more or less the same.

No need to compare battery since GPS failed.

Conclusion: if only this radio was ok with GPS, it could be the perfect radio for me at least. GPS accuracy is critical though so no need for further discussion (again, for my case).

Back to 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2 and GPRS only again :(

This is due to battery problem. If I set the data "always-on" only but it runs great if I off the data.

I'm currently on LeeDroid. Does it matter if I'm using other than recommended radio?

Thanks!

[Desire HD General] sigurd_LU:
No, the Rom has the right RIL (2.2.0018G) already build in.
[Desire HD General] Desi130312:
So i dont have the recommended radio to match the RIL so i decided to do that.I read through the steps and watched the video a couple of times and thought i had it down, i guess not. When it says, writing "radio", it says it FAILED, in parenthesis it says remote: not allowed , is that okay, please help i dont want to brick my device. I have htc sync installed , i have usb debugging enabled, i have fastboot turned OFF. I have Eng S-OFF and Radio S-OFF. What went wrong???? Please help

P.S. This is what a friend of mine told me to do but I wanted to follow this guide instead^ because I'm too nervous to do this ---> Download a radio from the forum and once downloaded change the name to "PD98IMG.zip" without the quotes. When you place that file on the SD card and load to the boot-menu (holding the power button and volume down button simultaneously while powering up the device -- make sure "fastboot" has been turned "off" in settings) it will automatically read the pd98img.zip file and offer to "update" the phone. follow the instructions and you have flashed the radio.
[Desire HD General] g3ismeee:
If anyone wants to use the PD98IMG.zip method, the way most of us do in Inspire 4G land, just go here to get your PD98IMG.zip files:

[Desire HD General] leith51:
+1 this is a good way of doing it now and easy but when the dhd first came out eng s-off was needed to flash a radio which is the guide I created remote not allowed was no eng s-off until this method came out ( which I also recommend) there wasn't another way to flash a radio
[Desire HD General] g3ismeee:
All understood, and I don't mean to sound harsh. Just saying there seems to be a safer way now.

Since I'm here I'll say thanks to all the DHD rooted users and devs, for blazing the trail for us Inspire users, so to speak. For real.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
What you mean a safer way ??? If you check my guide there is not a single post of "I've bricked my phone" my guide was 100% safe anyway lol
[Desire HD General] g3ismeee:
OK sorry. Just my opinion / preference for the other method. I'll leave you all be, because I've seen enough that I'll never be swayed to ENG S-off just to flash a radio when another method is available.

[Desire HD General] hero000:
comensart, From Experience I can tell Radio won't make any difference until it's very savour, Most of the ROM Developers recommend this version Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2

Currently I'm using this version Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M. << This is the latest radio version.

Never try to change the RIL even some say it should match the radio, The one in the ROM is included perfectly matches with your radio.

Vodafone in General doesn't have a good reception but recently alot of upgrade is going on!

I would recommend the latest version Radio_12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M

Hello,

Have been on 12.54.60.25 for about 3 months, was OK.

Tried 12.56.60.25 - the phone was good and battery was improved but the GPS fix was horrible in my location, took about 5 minutes each time.

Flashed the new 12.59.60.26 last night, phone is same like the 12.54/12.56, as for the battery too early to say, but GPS fix was in a few seconds.

Will keep updating results.
[Desire HD General] :
Currently running the latest radio and RIL, 26.11.04.21. For those using Tapatalk, South West England, on giffgaff, a sub-network that runs off O2.

Was previously running 26.09.04.11, and in comparison, basically no difference in signal strength, I've briefly looked at the numbers, and they seem largely similar, possibly slightly better, but negligible. GPS performance, not sure yet, will find out about that tomorrow. I'm not going to give the "accuracy" and all that, as that is a terrible way to compare, and 1-2 metre accuracy is almost always by chance. Overall performance and lack of loss is the way to compare IMO. Battery life...I'll see today.

Haven't used 26.10.04.03, and probably won't for a couple of days because the latest one has been very good so far. When I don't need my phone urgently, I might switch and test to report back.
