Why, what could go wrong? Since the radio is flashable on the dhd and doesn't brick the device what's the worst thing that could happen? Actually I have noticeably better reception and battery life here in Cyprus, as do two friends with dhds.

As long as the radio is proven not to brick the device, don't be afraid to give it a try. In the worst case scenario you can revert to your previous radio
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
+1 Agreed!
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Oh ok. No nothing else, just do what I said before. Also sometimes helps to wipe battery stats on second charge as well.

[Desire HD General] Spyr0s:
I think that you have to check your settings, sync, sense etc ir maybe an app that is configured to run a schedule on the background. Most of the times i have 3~5mA consumption after i flash a radio. I'm also on Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 with CD 5.1.

Can you give detailed explanation on this? I mean how can a radio adapt to an enviroment, i mean it's a software not a living thing or Prophet's Nanosuit :p
[Desire HD General] AtypicalWinter:
its more the hardware adapts to its software...
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Well now I really want an explanation.
[Desire HD General] miniterror:
Lol like a transformer

Can it attack also when its adapted?
[Desire HD General] boqonx:
For those on Starhub, i can definitely recommend the radio and RIL combination on my sig. After calibration, I get around 3.5-4% drain per hour on light-moderate usage.
[Desire HD General] gekrem:
the new radio gives poor wifi performance compared to the recommended radio... ive tried it on 4 desire hd's and compared most radios, the recommended radio in the first post is the best one IMO.

Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 with CM 7, very great.
[Desire HD General] boqonx:
Wi-fi is absolutely fine on mine as well. What ROM are you running on the DHD?
[Desire HD General] Pard0ned:
Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 works perfectly. Been using it for 4/5 days now and not a hitch.

Did take a day, and a full charge cycle, to bed in though, so new users should maybe be aware of that.
[Desire HD General] kevinm2k:
Im also on the brand new radio, and I think i'm having my best battery life to date...

Unplugged at 100% at 7.30am this morning.

Its now almost 3pm and battery level is 78%.

Just under 3% an hour! quite happy with that! :)

I am using MIUI v1.4.8. I have been flashing various radios and with almost all of them the reception is patchy as in I would loose connectivity at least couple of times during the day. I am currently using radio v : Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test.

Hi guys

Sorry if its been answered already, but what is the best radio for Desire HD users in AUSTRALIA, on the Vodafone network?

Checking the first post, there seems to be alot of carrier specific radios, but non for vodafone aus. please help!

THe issue Im having with CM7.0 Final on stock radio, is that my phone calls drop out after 5 seconds or so. Will the recommended radio fix this?
[Desire HD General] MikeMelbourne:
Edit: This post has a recommendation http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12427501&postcount=921
[Desire HD General] boqonx:
You might want to try different RIL combinations too. If the RIL that's shipped with MIUI is not optimized for the radio, you're not going to get a good result out of the radio you're flashing.

Edit: Because even on stock CM7 Final RIL, the radio that I have on my sig caused a major drainage on my battery. You might be getting a good result playing around with the RILs.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Try the TELUS WWE radio that I'm using at the moment, might give you good results as well.

[Desire HD General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
ive flashed radio on my standard desire and it was straight thru recovery. how much more risk is involved this way?
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
You can brick your device more easily. Hence why all radios are meant to be flashed via fastboot.

Also using the new radio (Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3) now with my DHD ARHD 3.5).

Seems to work perfectly... -85dBm, where with recommende radio i had something abit over -100dBm, with switching between GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA^^ now i have stable HSDPA :)
[Desire HD General] stuart0001:
Are there any apps that can log signal strength and type to help evaluate the radios?

I'm using Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 on Revo HD 3.3 and after 12 hours today of 3G all time and some wifi since 2h, 35% used ... so just less than 3% per hour. good for me !

-83/-85dBm for me too
[Desire HD General] colonel_lp:
has anyone tried using the RIL's from the ROM the radio came from. Is there any benefit to having matching RIL + RADIO... ??
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Matching radio and ril is the best setup to have.

Best signal and battery life.

Proudly swyped with my HTC DESIRE HD XDA App.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
The thread you quoted provides RILs for HTC Desire, right.

So, they shouldn't be used for Desire HD ROMs? :confused:
[Desire HD General] gekrem:
Router seems to be ok, Tried it at work too. Older radios are still performing better.... we did 4 benchmarks and found the new radio is actually around 15% slower in wifi compared to the other radios.
[Desire HD General] aneroidx:
Has anyone checked their GPS performance with the different radios? Apart from battery drain, poor GPS could be a sign of less effective radio.

Seems my previous post has been deleted(?), was having some trouble flashing so I used the method described on the CM wiki - HTC_Ace:_Recovery,_Radio_and_CyanogenMod#Flashing_a_Radio. It wasn't method1 or 2 described in the original post, had to use the zip from here: Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace; copy over to SD card with the same name; boot into fastboot and then the bootloader - which auto detects the update and flashes the radio after confirmation.

Now running 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 (shows as 12.35d.60.140fU_26.06.03.24_M2). GPS wasn't very effective for me with the 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M radio. If the performance of this one is okay, I don't think I'll bother with 26.08.04.07_M3 unless the next ARHD or CM rom recommends it.
[Desire HD General] boqonx:
It looks like qualcomm radios for N1 and on (at least for the GSM basebands) are quite similar protocol-wise. As you can see, the thread even includes RIL from Desire HD and Desire S, indicating that they will work just fine on Bravo. The RIL that i'm using comes from Desire S matter of fact and it works fine so far.
[Desire HD General] jasecs:
is that mean the best one is still Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF ?
[Desire HD General] hkwong:
v5.3?

.............................................
[Desire HD General] Blitzed_Penguin:
What ROM are you using? I had the same GPS problem with radio 26.08.03.07_M on CyanogenMod7. The GPS would not even activate half the time when using GPS apps and if it did activate it would lose lock and not get it back but I had GREAT battery performance and signal stregth with it.

I am currently using 26.04.02.17_M2 not SF which is the recommended radio for CM7 but the battery drain is higher. I am going to try different radios till I find one with good batery life, signal, and GPS.
[Desire HD General] Wegener22:
Anybody mentioned before, that 26.08.04.07_M3's file size

is different from all other radios? Strange.
[Desire HD General] gekrem:
According to all the test that I have done here in Australia , Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF is the more superior radio to use across all the main ROM's including Cyanogen Mod, Coredroid, RCMix, Android Revolution, Spike's ROMS and LeeDrOid.

The test was based on quickest GPS Fix, WiFi Performance, Signal Strength and Battery Drain....all of which 26.04.02.17_M2_SF performed around 15% better on average.

Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M_Test was slightly better on better drain (by a few 5%) but really thats about it....

Again this was tested here in Australia, it could be different for other countries.

The test was done using 4 Desire HD's, all charged using the different roms and flashed, then rotated. It took a good week to do it but it's ok I had holidays :D

remember, new isnt always better!
[Desire HD General] jasecs:

[Desire HD General] MikeMelbourne:
I've had Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 installed for a day. Since I last unplugged 12 hours ago, the battery has dropped to 77% (data & sync on all day, no wifi/gps, music playing for 80 minutes). That's about 1.9% per hour and -77 dBm right now.

I'll keep it for a while longer before I even consider going back to Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
[Desire HD General] danalive:
Hi Mike,

Curious to hear the ROM you're using, as well as other factors (CPU governors etc)...

I'm only a day or so into using cyanogenmod7 with this radio, not seeing battery improvement yet...
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Well, for the highlighted part, it could mean that they're ported from Desire HD and Desire S.

So you're currently using RIL 2.2.0121HM from the Desire thread on your Desire HD? what is config for ~4% drain per hour? (wifi, gps, push email, facebook?)
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
In terms of battery drain is it better to use an app like JuiceDefender / Green Power Premium or leaving mobile data / WiFi on all the time??
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:

Using Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 for a day now, must say best radio i used this far, strong signal, best gps lockon speed i seen and battery life "seems" to have improved.
[Desire HD General] aneroidx:
I'm currently on Android Revolution HD 3.3, was on CM 6.1.3. On CM6, I didn't get good battery performance but GPS worked. On ARHD 2.x and 3.x, I didn't get any GPS lock. Today, I got 3 sats after updating the radio. Previously, it would take a long time to get a lock even after using FasterFix but it lost it when moving (in a car).

I'm looking for 'decent' battery life and good signal+GPS. Today, I had a 4%/hr without really using my phone much. But someone mentioned here that we should wait for the 2nd or 3rd charge cycle on a new radio for the battery life to improve. Will see over the next few days. But without good GPS performance, I wouldn't keep this radio for long anyway.

GPS was good on stock Sense and on the 6.1.x CM roms I used (7-8 sats usually, lock within 15-20 seconds on first start). ARHD hasn't worked out for me in that area. I wonder if the under-volting is causing this but if it's not a universal complaint then may not be likely.
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 + ARHD 3.3 gives me the best GPS performance i've ever had. I even get a fix inside my house through the walls. I didnt thought that was even possible :)

My DHD runs 20h now and is @ 55%. Unplugged yesterday evening, so it sat in standby for ~8h (GSM) and today i listened to music for quite some time and did some surfing and watched some flash videos in the browser. And a short phonecall ~5min. Display was on for 2h at mostly 50+% brightness. I like surfing in my garden!

Standby drain is almost 0 with only GSM! -1mAh -3mAh tops. I dont think ill change anything about my DHD until official 2.3 comes and brings us new CustomRoms.

I really hope they gonna change Bluetooth with Sense 2.1 ... I have this awesome Bluetooth Gamepad for phones (iControlPad) which is great with my iPod touch. But Sense just ****s up BT in so many ways... But its possible. CM7 also integrated different Bluetooth protocols, so u can use Wiimotes, BT keyboards and gamepads. If i ever get a Rom with the speed and Batterylife like ARHD and full compatibility with BT devices i'll do my little dance of joy :D
[Desire HD General] aneroidx:
okay, that's saying a lot! Will give it a shot this weekend.

Almost exactly what I'm looking for - CM rom with ARHD performance. Was inclined to try to start rom-modding but frankly, I don't have the time. Maybe sometime in the future when I have a spare android phone I haven't given away.
[Desire HD General] letom:
Does anyone know if Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 + ARHD 3.5 would be a good idea. Currently I have the Radio that is suggested ( radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2) for Android Rev 3.5. I'd quite like to see some battery improvements but I'm not sure if I should go against the suggested radio.

And yesterday I barely used it. Also, some of the battery drain % don't match up with the mV in ; will post about that some other time.
