My experience with the new Cingular radio i good as far as battery life goes, however the sound quality is much better with 26.04.02.17 (the first one that came out in the Dec 17) the second one with F at the end it's a great disappointment both for sound and battery even though many seem to recommend it.

using hd REV 206.

Does anyone have a problem with bluetooth media? My mw600 doesn't work anymore with the phone. I can make calls but not listen to music.

Do you guys think this is a radio issue? This happened after I updated to 17 jan radio. I have also updated to 1.5ghz buzz kernel.

Running revolution 2.0.7
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
I don't use BT for audio but may I suggest you test it by process of elimination to narrow down what's causing your problem...

1st try default kernal

~Test

If that doesn't work try Buzz 1.22GHz OCUV kernal

~Test

If that doesn't work go back to default kernal again, but this time try different radio

~Test

...and so on until you figure it out, or you head explodes.

...or wait for someone with a similar problem to give you a quick fix :D

Good luck! :)
[Desire HD General] ynischa:
I was actually planning on doing that when I got home but am hoping that someone gets a quickfix :p thanks for giving me a nice plan to work by.

Hi all, I'm on Vodafone AU. I installed radio 26.06.04.06_M and it seemed pretty good I then installed the radio both LeeDroid and Revolution HD recommend which is 26.04.02.17_M2_SF.

Now performance with either RHD 2.08 or LeeDroid 1.41 seems worse.

Can anyone in AU confirm this or give me some feedback?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] KaTTeR:
Performance dont depend of RADIO
[Desire HD General] itwt:
Hmm, I have a lousy WiFi / Bluetooth connection, I can't use my headset more than 2 m away from phone, it'll get very noisy and then break the connection if moving further away. I never had this issue with the original Desire. Anyone experienced the same issue?
[Desire HD General] dr4go:
The next time you should not use the term "performance" if you mean reception, 3G performance or GPS locking time... Of course THAT depends on the Radio, but not the performance in terms of the phone's usage speed.

[size=-2]swyped from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk[/size]
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
Yes, they depend on the Radio firmware.

Based my experience, as 26.06.04.06_M is designed to run on AT&T Network, which afaik has less coverage compared to most European and Australian networks, HTC may have decided to increase the power used by the phone to catch the signal resulting in a much improved Radio performance and a worse battery life.

On 26.04.02.17 you'll experience a slightly weaker signal and radio performance but you'll have an improved battery life.

On newer releases, and expecially on WWE ROMs, apart from code fixes HTC will keep trying to find the best combination between Radio performance and battery drain.
[Desire HD General] Dands:
Thanks Drakk. Actually Vodafone AU has a small and arguably bad network coverage. Hence why it may have worked better.

[Desire HD General] shithead:
Hi everyone,

I'm really new to Android & the whole Android community Flashing thingie :)

I have a stock HTC Sense now on 1.39.x with Android 2.2. I've noticed some bad radio reception on my phone now, so I wanna flash the recommended Radio version on my device.

But there are some (beginner's) questions. Since the recommended radio was in the 1.72/1.75 update, does it mean I need to upgrade my ROM to 1.72/1.75 before I can flash it or can I stay at the stock (1.39) and only flash to the later radio?

I hope someone can help me :)
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
Unfortunately the source file is corrupted so I'll have to wait till the original RUU is reuploaded. Hopefully tomorrow the new link will be online :)
[Desire HD General] maxexcloo:
My Desire HD came with the official Asian ROM (RUU_Ace_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153610_signed). Anyone have suggestions on what radio to upgrade to? I don't want a brick... EDIT: Tried the recommended radio, worked fine!
[Desire HD General] dr4go:
No, the radio is independent of the Rom. You can use every Radio with every Rom you like.

Thanks for your help :D
[Desire HD General] Gr3m1in:
Well to be clear VHA (Vodafone Hutchison Australia) only has a 'small' network by Australian standards, its total coverage area would cover something the size of the UK & France etc combined, but compared to the other networks here its only 3rd out of 4 networks

But yes it definatly has a bad network right now, and it's undergoing a big update currently with something like 1200 new towers being built, and another 1500 or so being upgraded to support 850mhz to add capacity for iPhones and mobile broadband even though its main network is 2100/900

But I can say that compared to the original radio that comes with the VHA Desire HD, radio_ 12 . 28 b . 60 . 140 eU _ 26 . 03 . 02 .26 _ M that the Radio _ 12 . 28 e . 60 . 140 f _ 26 . 04 . 02 . 17 _ M 2 _ SF has given me WiFi problems and less 3g performance when I use Android Revolution HD 2.0.8

It gets stuck at 'obtaining IP address' then disconnects and loops through that continually when using WiFi and 3g bars are much lower by comparison and I actually now have no reception in some places I had it using the original radio
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
First post updated. New radio is untested, be careful.
[Desire HD General] MrGarak:
Thanks Drakknar, will try it out.

SwiftKey'd from my Desire HD using XDA App.

Edit:

Safe to flash. First signal impressions are good here.

Edit: my device is heating up after like 5-10 mins of gaming...never used to happen before...does the radio cause the device to heat up??

Yash, I live in the Blue Mountains and I notice that the newer radios are a bit flaky for Vodafone AU. Strangely I thought this Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M from the the US 1.8 rom was ok - then it started playing up.

Which radio are you using now?
[Desire HD General] P900:
The new Radio recommended? Am Revo 2.0.8 to Leedroid 1.5.1 changed.

The new radio is crap.

Drains ~40mA while cingular drains ~3mA

[Desire HD General] Nikola P.:
Before flashing radio, I think it is better to ask couple of questions here, better late than sorry :)

I am S-OFF, rooted and all, but not Radio S-OFF. I am on CM7 nightly.

Correct me if I am wrong, but:

1. I can not do radio S-OFF now on CM7, I would have to bend backwards and downgrade ROM to do it

2. I can flash new radio without Radio S-OFF, but I will not be able to downgrade to older Radio if something goes wrong?
[Desire HD General] 5hamz:
Hi guys, can anyone help me with this little issue:

I have tried 'Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release' which gives me excellent signal, GPS, wifi etc. BUT the mobile data only goes to G. It never went to 3G and H.

I have gone back to 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2_SF. now my 3G and H are back. but GPS isnt as good as with the one mentioned above.

Do I need to manully enter some network values under setting sor something with the 12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M radio? if so, can anyone point me in the right direction.

thanks.

btw. Im using Android Rev. 2.0.9 and im on T-mobile in the UK.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
That's enough to put me off testing it :p

Cingular seems to be the best for battery life for me too.
[Desire HD General] 5hamz:
does 3G and H mobile data work?

i have tired this in Lonon UK on T-mobile and it never gets over G speeds.

btw, I also noticed that together with Awesome GPS reception, that cingular has very good battery life!
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
With the new one? I'm not sure.

I use 12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M (Cingular) works great for me in Aberdeen. Great data speeds (2G/3G/H/Wifi), fast GPS and excellent battery life. Definitely a keeper for me.
[Desire HD General] 5hamz:
thanks, maybe when I flashed it 1st time i had a 'glitch' or something. Will try again tonight. I know that 12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M (Cingular) gave me excellent reception and fast GPS.

thanks again.
[Desire HD General] XBOCT:
ROM.zip extracted from RUU can be flashed via fastboot (rename ROM.zip -> PD98IMG.zip, put PD98IMG.zip to root of SDCARD and flash directly from fasboot without requiring PC).

We can delete all files exept radio.img to flash only radio. But... ROM.zip contains rcdata.img file. Different RUU contain different rcdata.img files

For example:

TELUS rcdata.img

QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
AGPSNVSetting=1
MSCMode=12
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
IMEISVN=1
GEA3=1
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1

WWE rcdata.img

QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1

HTCCN rcdata.img

DisH=2
MSCMode=10
HSDPACat=8
HSUPACat=5

Does the content rcdata.img affect to radio module operations? Or they simply ignored then flashing PD98IMG.zip?
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
To be honest I don't know how these values affect the way each ROM deals with the Radio firmware :(
[Desire HD General] Dands:
Here on Australia we have companies supply 3G on the 2100 Mhz frequency in Metro areas and on 900 Mhz outside of that. For full 3G support throughout Australia, you should get a phone that supports UMTS 900/2100.

How does this radio cater for those Mhz?

Hi,

Please help... I’m getting the same error

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

After downgrading from official 1.72, I flashed “Android_Revolution_HD_2.0.9”.

Now I’m trying to flash “Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2.zip” however I get the error above.

FYI- I successfully managed to S-Off using “One click Radio S-OFF tool” however unable to ENG S-Off using “One click ENG S-OFF” (Error: Incompatible ROM/kernel!)

Thanks,
[Desire HD General] mrtomtom:
Similar problem

Hi,

I had a similar problem, trying to get ENG S-OFF with one click, with ARHD 2.0.X (8 I think) I flashed leedroid and still same problem. So I flashed a 1.32 ROM and still had the same problem. Then flashed leedroid again and it worked.

That was a far from scientific solution as I didn't really know what I was doing just trying stuff out.

I always do a factory reset between flashing ROM's so unsure why it worked after flashing from a 1.32 ROM.

I guess just flash loads of different ROM's till it works? ;)

Good luck

Which Radio is better for battery life?

Dear All,

[Desire HD General] checko55:
hi!

do I get this right?

If I try to flash a newer version of radio the only way to

revert back is if I do a Radio S-OFF in fastboot?

Can I flash any version of Radio I want and it will work with any

rooted ROM (no matter if it works better than an other version)?

thx in advance.
[Desire HD General] descenpet:
you can revert to old radio even if you don't have radio s-off.. it will work as long as you still have eng-s-off. but radio s-off tool itself only work on old 1.32 radio.

any radio should work with any rom. performance may vary of course but they should at least work.

[Desire HD General] mcnob:
If you have WiFi issues, have you tried simply rebooting a couple of times? Works for some ROMs.

Are these radio images carrier-specific in some cases? I see mention of Telus and Cingular and don't wanna try them if they might screw up my Vodafone UK connections.

The radios aren't carrier-specific.

I use the one from Cingular and got O2 Germany ;)

some custom kernels usually cause WiFi or microphone to stop working.

Now Wifi seems to be working fine :D (although it’s been approximately 12hours)

As per a user’s (name of the user is “a user”) suggestion I flashed Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 (28th January 2011), followed by full wipe (using FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip) and then re-flashed the ROM again.

In my case I think problem accorded when I restored my backups using MyBackupPro as it included system settings. This time I didn’t restore setting and everything appears to be working :D
[Desire HD General] Tantin:
I had the same problem with Titanium Backup. I came from an Optimus One and restored my access points and it resulted in a broken wifi on android revolution 2.0.7 (or .8? don't remember) and the cingular radio.

I definitely don't recommend to restore access points - at least not with Titanium Backup and coming from another device.

Anybody with WiFi problems try this

After flashing radio if WiFi fails unplug modem and router turn everything WiFi off including phone wait 5 mins then reboot modem wait till its running and reboot router reboot phone and once fully running try WiFi again its a pain in the arse but some routers or a bit funny like that and they may read your phone as a new device once new radio flashed which in turn it might restrict it

[Desire HD General] futur1sm:
Well, I switched networks yesterday and although the Cingular has been great for WiFi and GPS, it seems it does not like the O2 network very well (at least around here). I get frequent complete dropouts and the phone does not even try to get signal back until I manually search for networks and select O2.

What radio is anyone using with O2 UK with success please? Also, does anyone know what network Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.02.15_M_test was developed for? Thanks!

[Desire HD General] carbonfiber:
CM6.1.3 plus TELUS Radio here. No problems at all.

Battery consumption: Almost the same as stock 1.72 ROM. A bit better.

EDIT: Replaced TELUS radio with Cingular. Same Rom.

Results/feedback: 1. Incredibly better battery performance.

2. Great WiFi connectivity.

3. Much better network connectivity. Instantly changes from G to 3G and H and vice versa.
[Desire HD General] futur1sm:
Thanks, will avoid it if I flash. I may have jumped the gun a bit, perhaps a network glitch on O2 last night - seems to have been very stable all day today and I do like the battery drain on this radio - 7h 25m since unplugged and 89% remaining! :eek:
[Desire HD General] Duskfall:
Can anyone who has tested both to say which one is better in terms of battery drain and wifi+ network signa?

Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2

Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF

I am using Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF and battery is pretty good,so is the signal compared to stock radio.

[Desire HD General] Gr3m1in:
Still using the one that was giving me issues, managed to get Wifi working, noticed the connection is still a bit flakey at times on 3g but really with the way the Vodafone Au network is right now I don't know how much I put that down to radio vs the network itself being a bit dodgy right now

I'm just near Parramatta so I should have excellent reception with more than 8 Voda towers within about 4KM and 4 within about 2km of me and one about 200M away but still...

So living in the mountains I can imagine it'll be more than a little dodgy for you at times simply due to the terrain!

Us voda users really need to get together and do a group test of radios to see what works best for us really I think
