Diference Between ROM 1.66 and 1.72 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

HI Everyone
I just upgraded from ROM 1.66 to 1.72 using the i-mate ROM provided by club i-mate. I have not been able to determine any advantages, particulary not the enhanced battery life? Any clues?
Cheers

I too am interested in it. I upgraded several weeks ago and I haven't noticed any difference other than it installed a useless app called Mobility Manager. Any clues what it is suppose to help with. My phone signal is still very weak indoors on 900 freq. I have a Qtek 2020. Thanks

Radio ROM 1.38 + WM6 - good or bad?

I know that some combinations of Radio 1.38 and WM6 were causing problems for some users. I was wondering if this is still a known issue or if it proved to be something else or was isolated. I upgraded to Radio 1.35 to let the dust settle. Anyone want to tell me if it is safe to go to 1.38?
You can see my config below.
(Yeah, I searched using forum search, google and the wiki. Couldn't find anything relatively definitive from a trusted source.) Thanks.
I am running 1.38 and Black 2.0 without a problem ... I earlier was one of the folks with disconnect problems with this radio and earlier WM6 ROMS ... but the radio seems to play nice and work well with both Black 2.0 and the latest LVSW ROMS (in my experience).
Thanks for the quick reply - I could not ask for a more trusted source.
Since your config so closely resembles mine, I am going to dive on in!
Thanks!
I PUT MINE BACK TO 1.34 I DIDNT LIKE 1.38 FOR SOME REASON IT JUST WASENT RIGHT sry for caps just noticed i am running pro blk 2.0 with 1.34 radio i have cingular and live in NY when in 3g areas my phone was using edge instead then if i put my phone in 3g only i would lose signal end result 1.34 is much better in my opinon
yo todd_jg how is 1.35 radio?
OK - did the upgrade and some limited testing.
BT, wifi, voice and edge data all check out and seem to be working as expected. Thanks again for the tips. Will report back if anything goes bad.
I have been using 1.38 since it come out with three different WM6 ROMs (WMXL 0.20, Chinese WM6 and Black 2.0) with no problems. Good luck.
1.38 + WM6 works GREAT for me!
1.38.30.10 radio + LVSW WM6 Edition (2007-03-26)
Seems no problem recent week~
I'm using 1.38.00.10 with Pro Black 2.0 and i'm expeirencing dropped calls and bad call quality. I was on the the phone with my girlfriend last night and it kept breaking up and dropping the call after 7+minutes of convo... i convinced her it was her phone (nokia 8800 sirrocco). But after the 5th or 6th time it did it i switched phones to a nokia 3500 i have laying around and guess what... Call quality is 10x better and no dropped calls for a good 40+minutes!
So which radio is next? i think i'm gonna go back down to 1.34 or should i go up to 1.28.30.10?
Black 2.0 and radio 1.38 even for me without any problem
yes been running lvsw roms & 1.38 radio.. no problem
Seems to work fine here also..

Using Black 2.0 and working and living 80% of the time in an EDGE area, I get about 13-16 hours daily use.
I'm not sure about high speed or 3G only areas.
Not the best but I can live with it.
I've been running Black 2.0 and 1.38 for the last 4 days and it's been rock solid.
I live in a 3G area and with moderate use I'm down to 60% battery by the end of the day.
Moderate use..5 or 6 calls, MS Exchange push email on all day and the odd Text.
So well happy with the combination.
Looking forward to Black 2.5!
Agreed battery life has been awesome since going to Black v2.0..

1.34 HAS NO PROBLEMS BUT it depends where u live i am in ny 1.34 is good 1.38 sucks for me and battery life is good on all if u use htc tweak
I also had problems with Radio 1.38, a large amount of dropped calls, unable to answer calls, calls straight to VM etc, so I went back to 1.34. Still having probs with reception but with far less frequency. Have used different Rom Versions, Black 2, LVSW, 3DES, all with similar probs.
Hi, I tested all versions which come out from trinity or hermes, had no problem till now, now I am on 1.38.00.11 GPS, work like a charm, in our town is 3G, edge or gprs, I have no problem, tested on lvsw, 3des, vanilla and XDA... maybe I have luck after all...
i was on .11 before but i noticed i had full bars and people are going straight into voicemail, so i switched it over to .10, so far so good, but last night i noticed acall dropped after 45 min of talking...i lost reception and regained it really quickly...im gonna stick with .10

Battery autonomy ?

Hi all,
I have been experiencing with different ROM'OS and radio versions, I am finally with Faman's 3.2 release and 1.46.00.11 for the radio. I read that the autonomy is around 200hours in GSM mode and about 180 in UMTS.
My question : Does anyone reach those numbers ? I mean, I have just activated direct push (via emoze) and since 8 AM I am already at 50% with only about 15mins of phone calling and 30min of mp3 listening plus something like 10 emails received and it's only 4:30 PM. At this rate, by tomorrow morning the battery will be empty, are you guys in the same situation ? Do we really need to charge the device every day when using direct push ? I beleive I have good cover in my office (4 bars + 3G) even though I moved quite alot in the building today, still, I don't think blackberrys need to be charged that often..
What do you think ?
Have a good day everyone !
Since I have been using (cooked) WM6, I have been unable to reach those numbers. I have an active 3G connection with HSDPA and my battery would have to be charged after 48 hrs. But, I'm using it for business puproses so it is my cradle most of the time. Anyway, using bepe's .76 ROM and 1.46.00.11 RADIO. Tried many other combinations, none utilizes the battery better than the orginal HTC WM5 rom/radio.
Let's just hope that HTC will at some point release a wm6 something for our P3600s then because that's really a killer :/

I would be interested to hear your experiences with MARY 1.2 and the same Radio. (1.46.00.11) I'm getting the best battery life (even better than WM5) with this combo. MARY 2.0 killed my battery - and I had problems with the battery with some of the latest bepe ROMs - bepe is a legend tho - think it's the core being used. Let me know.
Ok, so my battery basically lasted 14hours in active 3G mode. Pretty cool Do we know if it's because of the ROM os or more the radio ?

I think he's talking about MARY V1.2 with radio 1.46.00.11. It's the best battery combo I've tried and a lightning quick ROM IMHO. I'm currently cooking myself a ROM from it - and will release if hellonasty is OK with that.

Please do because the battery use is really good, just having some software problems with 1.2. Hoping your release, or 2.02 will be better

TomTom will drain your battery very fast
You should install batterystatus
Depending on usage, my battery usually lasts more than 48h, but GPS is a drainer for batteries, and together with tomtom...
Anyway, you should install batterystatus and monitor the battery drain to see if there is any leak. I usually have around 70-80mA with no application launched, but with maximum brightness it goes up to 250mA.
To me Mary 3.3.5 SL is the best when it comes to battery,plus I donĀ“t use HTC Home,HTC Launcher and stuff like that.
I guess those two plugins or apps have something to do,the nicer the rom looks the faster the battery drains and TomTom is a drainer like they say,so if you are using biotouch or some similar app it also make the battery consumption go higher.
I down grade from 1.50 to 1.46 resulting in longer battery life.

rom upgrade for verzio envii?

hello all...
i just want to ask if there is any rom upgrade available for my verzio envii (almost similar to atom life) since the verzio website is kinda worthless in with regards to support...
i also want to ask if i could use any atom life rom upgrade (6.1 probably) on this phone... it is a good phone in with regards to specs but my only bane is the battery life which drains so fast even in standby mode... i already tried buying an extra battery but it seems that tit's not the battery that has the problem... any reply suggestions is greatly appreciated
verzio envii 6.1
i have a verzio envii running a 6.1 rom. the battery still sucks. i am now looking for a 6.5 update. it's really nice. just the freaking battery. i have to charge 2 times in a day.

HTC Universal, MBW-150 and smartWatchM

I use this great combination of software and hardware, but big problem is watch's short battery life.
I tried some Tomal's roms with radio 1.15.00 and 1.18.00, but battery life is still about 13 hours. I flashed old but good Jwrightcmps's WM5 1.90.96, but there is no possible to launch smartWatchM at all. I will try newest tmobile WM5 today. Does anybody know some good rom for this use?
I asked for advice in official smartWatchM thread, but nobody answered me. So I am trying it here...
Hm... nobody has Uni and BMW-150... So I will use this thread as notepad
My first experiences: (rom, radio, watch battery life)
tmobile 2.00.41 WWE, 1.17.00, under 1 day
Jwrightcmps WM5 1.90.96, 1.18.00, smartWatchM does not work at all
Tomal WM6.1 8.5, 1.18.00, under 1 day
Tomal WM6.1 8.5, 1.15.00, under 1 day
Hi Standa,
Sounds interesting. What exactly is a BWM-150, (I've never come across a smart-watch... what can it do?)
What are you trying to achieve? Perhaps if it's the watch battery life, is there any way to reduce an update with it - if continually on BT connection, can decrease battery, but then I understand it must continually have BT on so it can display caller name?
How does your watch get recharged? If I had a watch and it's battery run out before a couple of years or so, I'd be very unhappy... but what do you expect from this device?
Hi -Jonny-,
sorry, my mistake - it is MBW-150, not BMW-150 .
Here is the hardware:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mbw-150executiveedition?undefined
and here is the software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218
A lot of people can use their watches for 3 - 6 days but I can use them for only 15 hours. So I am trying to figure out where the problem is. HTC Advantage users have solved this problem with the right roms and radios, so I am following their way .
I don't know how old is my watch, but it is max. 1 year, not more. So I expect longer battery life. I know that five years old device could have almost dead battery, but it is not my case and I still hope problem is caused by software part.
