I've been using the stock radio, 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M for two days now and I've been very happy with the results. I literally pulled the thing out of the box and rooted & flashed this rom because after the battery life horror stories I've heard about it, getting a custom rom on it that was supposed to be more battery efficient was my top priority. I came from a captivate and battery life is just as good, with identical usage. I used to get home from work at 10pm and have 45ish% left on my Captivate's battery, and on day 2 of using this I came home with the mids 40s both days as well.

I have been dropping a few calls though, but it's hard to tell if that's the phone or every once in awhile at&t flips out in my area and I'll just have a week where everyone I know is dropping calls with them. Planning to stick with this radio for a few more days to get a really good feel for how it is with the battery & signal before I try the recommended so I can be sure of the difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
cool beans. ill stick with it for a while then

how are your speedtest results? mine are pretty crappy most of the time

My favorite ROM

By far my favourite rom. Great work mike1986. I'm running RH 3.2, kernel 1.3.8.2 1.6Ghz, and performance patch. This is most definitely the fastest of any ROM I've tried on my Inspire 4G. I know it's not the most accurate or meaningful metric but I get over 3300+ in Quadrant.

Everything works great, not a single problem. No FCs at all.

keep up the good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
I average 3-4 down and 1-1.5 up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
I'm looking for someone with experience on the stock radio and the new recommended one. Love the inspire (and this rom) so far but the biggest problem I've had with it is that the signal is not as strong as my captivate was (which wasn't a service super star to begin with). I was just using it and had no service for about 15 minutes which is never a problem in my house, the signal isn't as strong as I'd like but I've never had a device drop it for more than a few seconds. So anyone with experience on both radios able to comment on signal (and battery too)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
wow. the best im getting right now is 1.5 down and less than 1 up. pissing me off. i dont know what the deal is. before i ever flashed a rom, completely stock, i was getting 3 down no problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I will look into build.prop to improve those speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
You are the man. Just fyi

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I will be grateful if someone can flash this sound fix and tell me how sounds works after flashing.

- is internal mic working?

- is music fine?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Is there somehwere else I can get the performance patch? Link isn't working for me and I don't see it on the wrbsite

sent from my Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
Why would you need the performance patch? You don't need that anymore with the latest build.

And Mike, you made another sound fix? What was broken? My sound is superb. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
I'm running the stock radio as well. I don't see a point in changing it if it isn't broken, right? I'm getting around 2-3mbit down depening on a million different variables.

People moan and complain about these stupid speedtest.net results and the truth is, is that you can't compare one test one day to the next day. There are SOOOO many variables to influence these results. Wireless is very finnicky sometimes. Temperature, weather conditions, location, all have a huge impact on wireless performance. Maybe if I can download at 10mbit I can use up my 2gb/mo plan even faster!! YEAH!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
its built in? well, ok then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
people (me) moan and complain when we get FAR less than we should down and up. like .30 down and even less down. thats a reason to complain.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
I've stayed with the stock radio the whole time... I've had one day when I can't get more than 0.3, and other days where I get more than 3.0

Right now, in my home I'm seeing over 1.5... usually it isn't that high.

I'm staying with this stock radio as long as it will last. So far there haven't been any huge issues. I think ATT is working on something in this area or they are overwhelmed at the moment here, because out of nowhere my speeds were slower and I even had two dropped calls in the past few days.

I'm giving it another week or two before i really blame anything on the radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] anlog:
I'm also having occasional bluetooth issues. A phone restart usually fixes it for a while.

As for the varying speedtest.net speeds, sometimes my phone won't detect that I'm near Los Angeles and will try to use a Kansas City server. No matter what it won't let me select Los Angeles. Other times it detects fine. So, make sure you know what server you're actually connecting to before you run the test.

I got 5MBit down the other day from the LA server (had previously never gotten higher than 3Mbit down), but I've NEVER gotten more than about 1.3Mbit up...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Coblica427:
Just flashed it Mike, I'll comment back later when I do testing on it.

EDIT: Tested it a little bit. The mic works, tested it with an iPhone and another Android phone, both people said I sounded great, and the tinny/crappy sound quality was not present, call quality sounded just like stock 3.2. Music works, but volume through the headphone jack is the same as far as I can tell. Speaker on the phone seems same volume level, did not test speaker phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
* seems to

* music sounds like it did before; no appreciable increase in volume from headphone jack and speaker sounds normal.

* no sensitive mic regression/call quality normal
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Thanks guys! So it's not better but also not worse. Good ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
Edit: Problem is not the rom, screw up by AT&T on my account, see my next post

OK, new problem cropped up today. I was talking to my friend and he asked why I didn't answer the sms he'd sent me yesterday. Checked the messaging app and I hadn't gotten anything from him. Had him resend it, nothing. Tried to send a text out to him and 2 other people, neither of them received it. I primarily use Google voice so I hadn't noticed, but people do still message me on my att number, anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Coblica427:
Not sure...I'd try reflashing and verify the md5 hash before you flash it. I've never had a problem with SMS, and I send about 5000 texts a month
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
I guess I'll have to try a fresh flash unless anyone has an idea what the problem might be, that's a pretty big problem. This was the first rom I'd flashed on my inspire, plenty of experience with the captivate. Do I have to do anything equivalent to the Odin one click on here to return it to stock before flashing or what?

Edit: Well, it's not the SMS app, just downloaded handcent and still not able to send or receive a message

Edit 2: Well, I wish I could delete posts on here. The problem was not the rom or my phone. The problem is I'm dealing with idiots at AT&T, when they did whatever they had to do to my account for the Inspire's "4g", they removed my $4.99 text plan, and since they don't offer it anymore they're giving me a hard time about putting it back on. Have an ETA of 4/05 to hear back from the "resolution department", sigh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RacerX10:
I had an SMS issue on my 3.2 install today too.

I sent a SMS via voice app thing that showed "message sent" status as it went, but the message doesn't show up in my messages app.

Did it twice, same thing.

I've also noticed that it *seems* to show old SMS messages that I've deleted for just a few seconds when the messages app first opens. Are those old messages being kept somewhere ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] perigee:
I have experience using the stock radio and playing with a few settings, so I figured I'd share here.

At first, I used the recommended radio and a clean wipe + flash. I was having a LOT of problems making calls. It would just beep and fail initiating the call. My data speeds were also not as good as AR 3.1. So, I flashed the stock at&t radio and my speeds increased a bit, where I would get about 1.5-2.0mbps down and 0.5mbps upload.

However, I still had a lot of problems placing calls where it would just fail, so after some research on the boards, I went into build.prop and set:

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

I did this in both places it appears in the file.

With the stock radio and this setting in build.prop, I have not had a single problem receiving or placing calls in almost a week. My speeds are 3+ mbps down and 1.5+mbps up. The ROM has felt extremely stable and fast since.

My only remaining issue (which is more of an annoyance than a real problem) is that when I go from wifi mode or airplane mode, it can take up to a minute before the data connection turns back on. I've seen this with the recommended radio and the stock radio. When I got the Inspire fresh stock, it would seamlessly switch between wifi and mobile data without any delay. Would be nice to have that again on AR3.2

Hope this is useful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
I have fixed the slight issues I was having with this ROM by flashing the newest leedroid kernel over it. I think I've found my perfect combo for the time being. No random reboots so far. OC to 1.6, interactive, all benchmark scores are fantastic, speed test scores are good. Seems smooth and stable with good battery life. Got my custom boot up/down animations and sound, theme, animations the way I like them......I'm a happy camper. Now if I can just figure out the splash image......

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Thanks for the info! I've changed those values to 2 by default in 3.3 as well :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Version 3.3 is up :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
Sweet. May have to try this out. Changelog?
[HTC Inspire 4G] perigee:
Just flashed. Got 3.1 mbps down and 1.6mbps up. Also, seems like data comes on fast after disabling wifi, but I'll need a day or two to see if it stays consistent.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Changelog as always in the first post ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
Yeah, just reading change log...my bad. Asking before looking. Bad habit from when I was young.

Question: I really want to use a different ROM other than CM7. The only reason why I continue using CM7 is that I am able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard. With AndroRevo I am able to pair but not connect. Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I'm sorry but BT HID is not working on Sense ROMs :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shad0w2626:
Downloading 3.3 right now. I REALLY do hope GPS is finally fixed!
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Dang, even if you do No-sense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Yes. My no-Sense script is removing most of the Sense UI components but it's till Sense based ROM. It's not AOSP ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
If I do a flash from 3.2 to 3.3 do I need to wipe battery stats and recalibrate with a few full charge/full drains or no?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Coblica427:
Mike, if you don't mind me asking - what did you do to the audio for 3.3? I see you boosted the audio back up to 20%, anything else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] logancruiser:
Not a bad idea. I think of the batterystats.bin file as influencing OS as it tries to to calculate battery drain predictions. So I delete it at full after 3 charge-drain cycles either once a fortnight or after flashing any new ROM (whichever comes first). I may be overdoing it, but unless CPU is used all the time by a rogue app/service, this generally gets me >24hrs per full charge with modest use.

Hope that helps. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gratton:
Just flashed 3.3...audio sounds a bit like "in a can" than before. The sound in 3.1 was better. Anyone else noticed ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ratman33:
Just flashed this coming from 3.1. GPS works great. Audio sounds louder. Head phone sound still soft though. Did notice that going from Wifi to mobile data has trouble switching. Phone would show the H and the arrows signifying it is connected but any apps requiring data (browser, market, weather) would say that it has no data connection. I'd have to do a hot reboot to get it working. So far so good in the few hours I've been running it.

By the way I did not do a wipe when I flashed it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
anyone know why my bluetooth would be having a hard time pairing after flashing this rom? i have to fiddle with it quite a bit until it finally connects to the headset, worked fine a few days ago

also- going to recovery and whiping battery stats no longer does anything, just immediatly kicks me back to main menu....anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] natethegreat12345:
current widget doesn't appear to work on 3.3 for me, reads 0mA. anyone else have this problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] JerseyScottie:
Prior to installing this rom, doing the s-off so on and so forth, I had a reading of H+ on my taskbar.After installing it is now only just an H. Can someone confirm that this is just a visual tweak ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
I think that doing it every 3 charge cycles, whether you're flashing a new rom or not is really overkill. Are you draining the battery completely all the time? Someone correct me I'm wrong but I've heard that's actually bad for Li-Ion batteries (the be constantly draining it completely).

Yes, this is purely visual. From what I've read around here the stock at&t firmware will display H+ for any form of 3g you're on, regular 3g, HSPA, or HSPA+. Revolution will display either 3g, obviously signifying regular 3g, or H, which means either HSPA or HSPA+, you can look in the network section of about phone to see which you're on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] perigee:
Yes, same here
[HTC Inspire 4G] JerseyScottie:
awesome, much appreciated especially for the speedy response!
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
No luck with working gps on this or gingerbread
[HTC Inspire 4G] spideyngo:
I had the same problem when I had a radio flash that had apparently gone wrong. I suggest rolling back to 04_06 HTC Inspire radio and see if that corrects your GPS issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
Yea same problem here, apart from that, great working rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] preacher65:
Yes, completely draining a Li-Ion battery might make the battery display percentage a little more accurate, but will reduce its life. The best thing for a Li-Ion battery is small, frequent charges. See here for some quite detailed technical information: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

There's another good article here which explains how charging affects the battery % readout:

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Have you tried reinstalling it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] natethegreat12345:
yes, tried full wipe/flash and current widget still reads 0mA.

Everything else works great though :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
I reinstalled the widget and no luck, I even did a full wipe and flash as well cause was stuffing around with radios.

I read on the beta thread and in a leedroid thread that most ppl have this problem with new Roms.

loving the new Rom with the recommend radio, super fast boot and great battery. one widget doesn't really matter and the widget developer may need to come up with a fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] clickclickpc:
Is voice dialer working for everyone? I'm on 3.3 just flashed (no wipe) over 3.2 with stock AT&T radio and keep getting "Please try again" message.
[HTC Inspire 4G] havenok:
I finally flashed 3.3 and the GPS seems to be working much better. It is still a little bit slow (even after FasterFix) for me, but if I give it about a minute I get a lock. Oddly enough, even when it does lock, it will still occassionally give a small blue circle like it is still locating but all in all it worked great for me. Thanks for getting that fixed Mike.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cinetic:
I keep seeing the 3G indicator instead of the H+. The network info says that it's UMTS when its only on 3G, but with other radios/ROMS I see H+ almost all the time. Ideas? I am running the recommended radio...
[HTC Inspire 4G] borisb:
Hi.

The gps is not working . Is there a reason?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ozzah:
No Wipe

Hey, I installed 3.2 last week on my Inspire 4G the day before 3.3 came out. I've got all my programs and settings and everything working quite nicely, so I'd prefer to update rather than wipe and start all over again.

Just to confirm:

I dump the zip file on the SD, boot into Clockwork, and install the zip from the SD card and that won't overwrite my settings/files? Everything will be the same as it is now, just with a new version of Rev?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] clickclickpc:
That's right. I just did the same thing earlier today going from 3.2 to 3.3 and settings are unchanged.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Did you read all GPS recommendations in FAQ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] directorfer:
You still on AT&T's stock radio? Changing the radio helped me out a lot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
What's the best radio to flash over for AT&T users and the Inspire with this ROM?

And, can we backup the radio before flashing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] whiffer2:
same issue here
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
UMTS is 3G (so you will see teh 3G icon). If you were connected to HSDPA or HSPA+, you would see this in the network information, and you would see an H icon. The ONLY place you will see the H+ icon is if you're running a stock rooted ROM. The H+ comes from the stock ROM. Ported DHD ROMs and other ROMs where the chef has changed this display will not show a H+ icon (this is just an icon, you have to look at your network settings to verify which network you're actually connected to)
[HTC Inspire 4G] whiffer2:
Thank you for the explanation. Makes perfect sense :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Quick question. If I have a theme flashed can I still flash over 3.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
You can but you will need to re-flash the theme.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Ok. Thanks for the info.

Are you going to continue to develope the 1.84 base?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Actually I'm waiting for a new base which suppose to come very soon. It will be 1.8x.405.x base.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
This is very strange issue I've never heard about. Did you flash any theme?
[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
Hi.

I successfully flashed this ROM. However, I seem to have a strange issue. With the stock ROM, I almost always saw H+ for my connection. Now I only see H and it seems to flicker to 3g pretty often now. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
This is just an icon! ATT decided to use an H+ to show you when you're connected to 3G, HSDPA, or HSPA+ (if available). They did this to lead customers to believe that they were always connected to hSPA+, when in reality there are VERY few customers who have HSPA+ available. This ROM, and many others, are ported from the Desire HD, which had a 3G icon for UMTS (3G), and a H for HSDPA. The chefs didn't change this, instead, when connected to HSDPA or HSPA+, you'll see the H. Again, this is JUST an icon, it means nothing. If you want to see what network you're actually connected to, go to Settings - About Phone - Network information

Hi.

I tried to do the battery reset fix, but my phone wont boot into clockwork recovery mode. I just get a blank screen. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Which method did you use to root? Also which clockwork recovery are you using?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mjgunn:
Guys, I understand that the thread is 249 pages so you don't want to go through all of them, but without even using the search thread function, if you go back the last 5 pages this exact question is asked and answered on almost every one (twice on page 247).
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Exacccctly. Hence the multiple exclamation points in my reply... I don't typically yell
[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
I used Bubby's one-click root program. I'm using ROM Manager that has ClockworkMod 3.0.06 on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Ok post your recovery problem in bubbys thread. I believe this is in his faq section. I think he has a fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
Hi.

His fix appears to be only for the ROM that he has used and tested. I want to use this Revolution ROM. Anything I can try?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Ask bubby if his fix will work for android revolution. Or make a fix for it. If not you might have to reroot with the hack kit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
His fix isn't fixing the ROM. It's fixing CWM Recovery, which will stay the same through all ROMs (unless you manually change versions).

Here (https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=143u2EjWMLIa25TBZ8L0x972qH_DuJyf8_5HfDwrvn6M) are his FAQs. Quetion 5 addresses this issue and suggests flashing the newest version of CWM (you may have to flash it multiple times before it takes), or by obtaining ENG S-Off with the tool here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Hm what fix?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If you root with the one click method for inspire it doesnt change the bootloader version. Also the one click method has some problems with recovery in some cases.
[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
But his instructions say this...

At the FASTBOOT USB menu press power. Your phone will search for the downgrade rom and start loading PD98IMG.zip file (blue progress bar on right, be patient).

Q> Isn't the PD98IMG.zip the ROM image? Wont it overwrite my Revolution image?

Sorry if I'm not too sharp on this. I'm still learning.
[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
When he refers to "flashing the newest version of CWM," is that a separate file? I'm flashing it through the ROM Manager app and it tells me I have the latest version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Pd98img is what the bootloader reads. It doesn't have to be rom. It wont over write your rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Lets move this to general. Were off topic in this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crpeavley:
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but hopefully will participate more in the future.

I wanted to know if you could be running the CyanogenMod 7 custom kernel with Android Revolution Rom and/or is anyone doing that currently?

I dont think it will work due to this being a sense based rom.

Search softkey change to Google Search (not Search Anywhere)

I've been looking around and cannot seem to find a way to remap the search softkey in AR 3.3 to launch Google Search instead of HTC's Search Anywhere. Not sure if other ROM's are launching Search Anywhere with the button but this ROM is great and I just wanted to be able to make this last tweak.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I gotta say mike this is still my daily. This rom has no problems at all. Im using the dhd revolution theme with it. Together they make a great rom. Ive tried beta 4 but, I still think 3.3 is one of the best out there
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Agreed. I was running 2.1 for the longest time and gave 3.3 a whirl and its working out great after I installed the suggested radio. I am still testing out battery life, but its a champ so far.
