Hi, i just have a problem with the radio rom.
most of the time my radio works perfectly as when making calls etc, i still dont get a good signal for video calling, but ive now upgraded to the new WM6, so that does not matter now, my question is this really, .....
is the messaging inbox for text and emails etc.. controlled by the radio or by the WM rom, as when i try to access it sometimes it hangs and i have to perfom a soft reset andsometimes loose new messages.
this only started when i upgraded to the newest radio rom, Is this a problem anyone else is having and is it worth downgradingor upgrading to another rom to fix this??
cheers .
JOJO
Yeah I was finding trouble hanging occasionally with the 1.14 radio.
But I'm still not 100% certain whether it's related to WM6 though. I dropped back to 1.10.03 and thought it had solved my hangs... but then I had another one this morning. So who knows.
Did you use the 1.14 radio with WM5 at all?
yes, ive been on the 1.14.10 radio since it was released, and its been doing it a while, i only upgraded to wm6 2 days ago, and it did it then and still does it now....
ah ok, that's interesting to know. I only upgraded to radio 1.14 when I moved to WM6, so I wasn't sure.
aye, did yours start only when you upgraded both roms???
i might downgrade and see if it stops....
does anyone know if the messaging is to do with the radio?
Ive had it hang on wm6 sometimes when 1st booted to today screen, but never after?
Its an AKU 3.2/3.5/WM6 problem, not the radio

cheers mate, you cleared that up, i hope someone or MS fix this, its a small thing and easy to get round, but very very annoying
Hello everybody,
I'm using WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-26). And suddenly I've got several problem with my phone:
Sometimes it wont start after a soft-reset
Sometimes it freezes after a period of time
Sometimes I cannot end calls. Press red phone button onscreen, or hardwarekey
Sometimes when I open Device Information, Radio version and Protocol version are empty
A lot of sometimes, so I didnt know exactly what to do but I tried a lot of thing to solve it:
Reflash and reinstall all my software (SPB Pocket plus, Tomtom, Resco Explorer)
Reflash ROM and leave it without other software
Hard reset
Finally I tried flashing de Radio-Rom with version 1.38.30.10. And it hassen't crash for 2 hours! Wow!
Does anybody experience the same problems?
I had this issue with previous versions of WM6 but with LVSW 26-03 and WM Black 2.0 don`t have problems at all
Regards,
Primoz
I've had problems with both
It only happen 3 times since it came out. Oh well, beta stage ROM is usually like this. Same as Vista beta test.

I would suggest that you flash first Radio V 1.38.00.10 then do a hardreset then install LVSW again. And then you should test it some days without installing any additional software - especially those three you mentioned. For me and my unbranded HTC Tytn LVSW and Black 2.0 worked great without any bigger issue.
Another issue
Another issue: When I call myself (Something I don't very often ) i got redirected to my voicemail even though my phone says I've got good reception! After that happened, my phone went to no service and up to good reception in 2 seconds.

What is wrong with 1.38.30.10?
According to a lot of posts here and in some other forums its draining the battery very fast.
And referring to your "selfcalling" problem: Every once in a while I notice the same with my SE P910 so I think its a provider problem. Sometimes I got the message "new voicemailmessage" although my phone showed me full reception.
Yes! So i am not going mad.
Well i was running 1.38.30.10 and i was receiving same problems. (My phone has full reception and callers kept getting forwarded to voice mail. Even SMS's wouldnt go through)
I changed over to 1.38.00.11 and its working fine for 2 days now.
I am running XDA .20 if that helps.

I have had this issue with every rom on my device. It happened with the stock Cingular rom and every rom I have flashed since then. It doesn't happen every call but does happen at least once a day for me. Not a big deal but kind of annoying when it happens.

suggest you try the genuine hermes radio instead, 1.38.00.10. It MAY be something to do with being a trin radio, or even try the newer 1.38.30.10?

im going to give this ROM just a few more days of testing before i flash another one on...
i would blame this all on the radio.. i experience the very same issue on wm5 roms and i am using 1.35.00.11 radio, have tried the 2 different 1.38's and still had the problem.. i didnt have this problem on 1.33 but the reception was horrible... so i picked the lesser of the evils and stuck with 1.35.....

FYI if you flash a new radio it doesnt hard reset your device.

Same experience, the radio to take me less problem level was 1.34.
1.38 was very bad, lot of call lossed, sms lossed. 1.35 was not so bad, but lost same calls. 1.34 works fine (or as fine as it can) and better than 1.33.
So far im happy with my RADIO (check my sig). Havent ahd any of those issues, and trust me i had many of them. Business clients would complain to me why my phone was off all day long, when in actual fact i had full signal!!!
Anyway, will let ya know if something goes funny with this RADIO..

It can be different to give a quantitative comparison, as I didn't keep much data on available memory, etc. In theory, it is a more mature build, because the build number of Windows Mobile has rev'd a few points. This should help to keep memory leakage down ... should. The new ROM seems more responsive. If you are happy with the Rogers ROM, there probably isn't much, if any reason to move to the HTC ROM. I decided to experiment and try the new HTC ROM, because I wanted to see if Voice Control 1.6 worked any differently on this latest ROM, not because I was dissatisfied with the Rogers ROM.
i flashed from the rogers to the new htc rom and i have used this rom for about a week and with the htc rom my fone has frozen up 4 times, where i have to remove the battery to restart my fone. i have never had the rogers rom freeze up on me b4 and i used it for about a month. also to me it seems like the htc rom leaks out memory. with the rogers rom i would restart my fone every other day and the memory would not go lower than 19,000kb but with the htc rom if i dont restart it two days it would be at about 17,000 kb. am i the only one experiencing this? + im thinking twice about flashing back to the rogers rom, wat do u guys suggest?
I'm using the latest HTC build. I've used the Rogers rom, and it's loads better than the t-mobile one, but the branding just pissed me off. The htc is much better in that area, and it's definately quick and responsive.
I have two phones, one i use for work and one for testing.
I have tested all the rom but i'm usung now for about 1/2 year the Russian rom, custumized and flashed with the latest radio version.
I'm usung my phone a lot with all the possibilities you have and no problem at all.
Believe me, it is even so fast as the new rom.
But, so has everybody his own feeling..
The Superior ROM
I have two devices also, I use one for testing. The thing that stands out with me is the radio on the Rogers ROM. In the area where I live, I find the Rogers radio, by far superior and the strongest. I'm now back to testing the T-Mobile ROM, with the Rogers radio installed in the T-Mobile ROM. Thanks to jhow99 Fash Tool.zip, since I installed the Rogers radio in the T-Mobile ROM, I notice for some reason it speeds the T-Mobile ROM up and the reboot loop the loop reboot problem has vanish. I now also have a fix to stop the T-Moble default blue screen from coming back every time after you soft reset your device. I will continue to test the T-mobile ROM in this current state and if the T-Mobile Rom continue to run at the speeds it doing now, I might have to say that the T-Mobile ROM is by far superior to all the ROM's. I will remind you, my testing is not yet completed, I'm really shocked about my findings thus far with the T-Mobile ROM........!

RAM - LEAKS
I didn't do any testing along these lines with the Rogers ROM. I do have the latest HTC ROM installed and last night, before I went to bed, I soft-reset my phone. Available memory after the soft-reset is around 18,100. I have less available memory than most, because I use Voice Command. When I checked it this AM, available RAM had dropped to 16,300 - presumably while doing nothing as I slept, 1,800 of ram had leaked.
STABILITY - FREEZE
I thought that it might have been me doing different things. For example, using the Rogers ROM, I rarely enabled Bluetooth Activesync or WiFi, but things have changed and I find myself using WiFi much more and Activesync with my home PC exclusively with Bluetooth. Where I am going with this is that I thought, because of the change in usage patters, I was experiencing some instability ... but this new HTC ROM does seem to freeze up much more often than the Rogers ROM. In fact, I don't recall that the Rogers ROM had ever frozen up on me. It has been right around one full week with the new HTC ROM and I know that I have frozen ... probably five times.

absolutely the ROGERS, first of all, cuz u cannot use 'z' when u find contacts if u choose the latest HTC ROM, Really inconvenient, hm?
additionally, Under HTC ROM, when I press start and scroll down to find the shortcut I want, it breezed for about 1~3s frequently.I'v no idea why this happened. But it seldom occurs when I use the ROGERS ROM.
So I prefer the ROGERS ROM!
With the Rogers Rom I was having to reboot sometimes twice daily. I'm having to reboot much less with the HTC rom. I'd go with the HTC rom.

Would you mind elaborating on the circumstances that required the reboot? I don't intend to sound as if I am denying your experience, I just haven't experienced the same, so I am trying to figure out why that might be the case.
This newest HTC ROM showed lots of promise, but as a few others have experienced, unexpected freezes has me heading back to the Rogers ROM.
Of course, some have experienced unexpected freezes with the Rogers ROM and moving to the latest HTC ROM helped to eliminate the problems the experienced.

search the excalibur (this forum) for rogers and look for links to the rom on rapidshare.
go to Rogers.com and you can get it from there...

I like HTC better but cant put a finger on why
I used Rogers for a week then switched to HTC. seems more stable (rogers was more erratic (Im in Brazil) Rogers seemed faster in some things but in general Ill stick with HTC. QUOTE THE TMO NEVERMORE
PS if you try one then the other you might have an instalation issue (I did) second installation wouldnt work till I reinstalled TMO rom then did new installation. The HTC is much prettier than rogers
Does the Rogers rom support micro SDHC cards?
hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.
im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.
maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help
done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!
Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.
Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality
my phone just never rings, im so sick of people asking me why im always on voice mail, ive been with htc desire for so long and had many roms, just feel its getting worse and worse.
I am using the latest 2.5 gv rom and have tried several radios, i just get the same problem constantly, sat there, phone pops up a message X person called but left no message, my phone just never rings
any advise please?
You have the problem with other ROMs or just GV2.5?
what about the stock one?
is there a chance its the signal that's poop not the phone/radio?
didnt really wanna go back to a sense based rom, I am sure its always done this a little but not as much as now, I do think its got worse since using gv if anything, but so many roms to choose from and didnt wanna have to wipe my sd card to go to another.
I guess its easier than a new phone, my work bb just never fails, so its tempting to just get another one of them tired of this problem now.
can the actual rom cause this to happen? not just the radio? signal is ok in my area.

U don't have to wipe ur sd card to change rom
no i know but quite often the way a2sd and stuff all works it requires messing about and can get messy, like some of the roms i looked at were different size ext partitions and so on also.
What roms and radios are you guys using with a reliable phone service? ie not many dropped calls?
thanks
not had any issues with 3.06.405.2 with 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 is what i am using, as you posted, just phoned the htc from my bb, straight to voice mail then a text comes through instantly...
which rom are you using?
any suggestions? or just get a new phone! cos thats where its heading, i think the motorola atrix is looking good for an upgrade, just flash old rom onto desire and sell!
I think you should contact your operator, isn't a problem with rom and radio
When someone call you, the phone have to receive the call
So, or ur desire have some fault, or the simcard/ur line/ur operator have a problem..
Did you tried to understand when it doesn't ring? Try to understand, why it not get the call in that moment
Anyway you can call ur service operator and say that sometimes the call u receive go directly to the voice mail..They can check something on the line i think..
