Radio 1.15.00 working fine with Helmi_c AKU3.5 v1.3.
No problems encountered mentioned in other Threads regarding combine this Radio with other WM6 ROM.
Voice Call working in both in / out direction.
SMS works.
MMS works. --> GPRS works.

As the radio being the most problematic for me, I may or may not upgrade...1.09 is working just fine right now.

I am using 1.14 for 3-4 months. I just upgrade from 1.14 to 1.15. No problem until now.

I will upload it to the FTP server, Radio Rom's are allowed.

can someone move it to a safe place?

I concur with that. Helmi 3.5 runs good with 1.15.

Someone know how it's work with Helmi 1.1 WM6?
Now I still running 1.13

Pair problems with Parrot 3200 LS-Color
I use my Qtek 9000 with a Parrot 3200 LS-COLOR buetooth carkit.
Generally I must pair again when the carkit reconnects.
I have this problem with all radio rom versions, but with version 1.14.10 I have the problem sometimes.
Is there someone who know a solution for this problem?
In advance thank you verry much!

**** Zevenbergen

I m currently using 1.13 so is it better than it or not ?

I flashed two days ago, and working fine. Also, I thing that ppc became a little faster.

Running 1.15 for two days with Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM 20108, I must say that it is much better than any other radio I had used before. I was running 1.09, 1.011 and 1.14. None of them was able to pick up connectivity as fast as it does with 1.15. Often, I needed to reset to connect to the network after going through tunnel or going into a lift.
BTW, I live in Singapore and my provider is Starhub, I have since switched my phone to 3G full time after I upgraded radio to 1.15. Previously, I could only fix to GSM network in order to have a relatively stable connection.

Flashed 1.15 two days ago. The best radio ROM so far on O2 UK with Jwriright'2 2.02

I've had not much of an issue so far too. I realised it takes a shorter time to get SMS sent out, and shorter time to pick up the 3G network.

Good Radio
Oh .mygod Thank You Very Much

here are the changes in 1.15 radio from 1.14
- In some cases you'll be unable to connect to GPRS while roaming in a 3G area when having a 2G-only sim-card
That's all. Nothing so important to waste time upgrading to this radio.

I am running JWright 2.02.00 ROM and sometimes, after a soft-reset, the device won't see the WiFi unit. The Wireless todayplugin only states the phone network, and a bluetooth icon, but no wifi anymore. After soft-resetting again, the WiFi will return.

I have a the same problem, have tried different things, only solution currently is to soft reset, keep "lid" close, lcd down on keypad, while busy "booting up". After few seconds open and enter pin, wifi back !

do i have to hard reset after upgrading the radio only?
i really dont want to install everything all over again.

Orange UK and Radio ROM 1.40.30.00

Flashed the new radio ROM and all seemed to be working well. However, my phone cannot make a data connection via G/3G - it just keeps saying 'connecting'. Have now flashed between 1.38.00.10 and 1.40.30.00 three times back and forth with the same outcome - no data connection established with 1.40 but connects immediately with 1.38.
I suggest Orange UK customers keep clear of this radio ROM

This belongs in the WM6 forum why? It should be in the Upgrading forum.

I Upgrade my tytn is R.S.A.(South Africa) I 'm in the MTN networks ,I'm using Duttys rom and I have not problem with the radio rom 1.40.30.00, actually I think is the best so far for voice and data connection.

Am using it fine in London.

Funny how radio 1.40 is from a cingular rom, but I am having the same issue with cingular, The data connection will just randomly drop and not reconnect, turning radio off and back on doesnt fix it I end up having to soft reset.

well i've been on 1.40 for about 24 hours now and although no major issues, I am sure that the signal is not as strong as 1.38.00.10 although I reckon the battery life is better. it did look initially when I upgraded that it wasn't going to connect to 3G but it was just a fairly brief delay. I would also say that it is generally slower to connect after soft reset than previous radios... but this is just first impressions. it did allow my internet calling over 3G however which I couldn't get running on 1.38. this is probably just fluke!

Am using it fine in London.

as most posts seem to be heading these days, at least they dont know about the secret "bogun" aussie roms yet....

aussie "bogun" roms will never be released publicly, as they can only be handled by seriously elite, and be apreciated by those who understand "VB"

T-Mobile UK users - which Radio ROM is good?

I'm using MDA Vario II in UK with LVSW's ROM releases. I have found out that Radio ROM is somewhat unstable - sometimes it just hangs, making Phone feature of Hermes completely unusable (I can use other apps and stuff, tough), unless I do soft reset. It happens quite randomly, for example when I try to initiate/hang-up the call, or receive SMS delivery notification, or do anything which is related with the phone. Sometimes it works perfect for few days, sometimes I can experience these hangs 2-3 times a day.
Tested Radio ROMs are 1.41 and 1.40 - both with same results. Maybe I shall revert to the original Radio ROM from T-Mobile (v1.05 AFAIR)? Any other possible solutions from other T-Mobile UK users around here? Thanks in advance.

fellow mda vario II t-mobile uk user
I'm using lvsw's + same radio. It work really well for me. not had any of the issues you described with it.

Hi
I have been on the 1.40.30.00 radio rom and had good results although last week when i was in wales my dads stock 1.05 radio with stock Tmobile (older) rom produced better internet stability on 3g than mine did.
That said im was very happy with 1.40.30.00. However i ahve today upgrade to 1.43.00.00 which has a long thread about it in the upgrades channel. (basicly i wanted to see what it was like...)
I would be happy to report back my finding in in the next few days to you.

Thanks for quick replies. One more question - are you using VoIP application? I mean, not simultaneously with GSM/3G, but do you have it enabled with some SIP account and use it occasionally?

Recommend 1.43.00.00
I higly recommend upgrading to radio 1.43.00.00. I'm on T-Mobile UK in London and have been using it since it was released a couple of weeks ago and have no compliants at all. The reception is perfect and data speeds are good.
Battery life is probably the only questionable part, but I haven't really been keeping an eye on it to be honest. No 'low battery' messages like I used to get on the original radio anyways. Currently on 60% after almost a full day of calls, push email, and general use.
I tried 1.38, 1.40, and 1.41 and had nothing but dropped calls and really bad reception, it was terrible. The only thing I've noticed with 1.43 is that after I make a call in a 3G area and look at my phone, the data connection has been killed and it only shows as G and not 3G. It goes back to normal after that though, so not an issue for me. Not sure if this is radio or ROM related tho.
Don't use any VoIP apps so can't comment on that.

Im using radio 1.43.00.00 (the current one), works fine on 3G and GSM.
The VoIP im using over Wifi (obviously Tmobile dont allow it on 3G/GSM), im using SIPGate as you can register a residential number for it aswell....works great over wifi im uni and at home. Paypal payment for call charges is also a bonus

I know SIPgate, I have a number registered (0207 Central London number in Heathrow area , and I'm using it at home with FritzBox 7050 WLAN device. On my Hermes I use IPFON.pl, which is Polish-based VoIP provider.
Anyway, looks like in your case VoIP application does not interfere with Radio ROM. Maybe I shall upgrade to 1.43 too...

Actually I haven't got any problems with dropped calls and/or bad reception, both with 1.40 and 1.41 Radio ROMs. It's just a matter of freezing Phone module from time to time, which forces me to restart whole device.

Can someone post a link to 1.43 and instructions for upgrading? Thanks in advance.

Only if you use Web & Walk Max on T-Mobile, then it will support VOIP calls...
Extra £27 pcm

I'm using Fring which channels through to Skype and MSN, and it works a treat over 3G/HSDPA on T-mobile, and I'm on the standard W&W package... my bad?

Skype works fine on the Vario running under 3G. I've used Skype (on my Vario) to talk to a friend in Valencia and it worked fine.
And it only costs £7.50 per month for an unlimited data plan.

Bobbyelliott, I couldn't get Skype 2.2 to work, chat works fine but voice just crashes out straight away.... the Skype site states it won't work yet with Vario II... hmmm...
Black Shadow IV... yeeeeeehah!

I had similar probs on Tmo in the Uk with 1.41 and 1.43, the radio stack would just drop my network connection and I have to turn on flight mode and turn flight mode off....
also I seam to get multiple new text messages at once. Eg two new text messages at the exact same time, almost like the phones got a heartbeat and only checks every X mins.
Im about to try 1.40
Im using black 3.5 btw

Back to the radio post...
Using 1.43 here with no problems so far. Noticed 2 changes to date from original T-Mobile radio (1.05.05.00): calls are now louder with very slight hiss at higher volume, and the radio seems to hold 3G for longer when it previously switched to a higher signal 2g connection - obviously better for data and might also save on battery power. I have not seen any higher signal strength at home but 3G is 'perhaps' more often available.
No missed or dropped calls so far and after upgradeding IPL/SPL using HardSPL (as per recs) it took me less that 7 mins total for the radio flash!
I have not tried any other radios so cannot comment on them and whether 1.43 is better; but, compared to the original I'd say 1.43 is an improvement .

Looks like problem does concern some people, and some doesn't - regardless Radio ROM version. Maybe it's dependant on the 3rd party software installed..? Hmm..

said i'd post back with my findings,
48 hours latter im very happy with this 1.43.00.00 i'll stick with it.
(I was in a very poor reception area yesturday and it seems to be on a par with the stock tmobile radio rom that my sister and father still have... i found that 1.40.30.00 was worse than the stock radio rom when i was in a poor reception area in wales.)
(as for battery, i can't say my usage pattern changes daily. so long as i can get through a day with scheduled send and recive then im happy to charge each night when i set my alarm for the morning.)

I had lots of problems with all the radio roms. the only one that seems to work pretty well is 1.38 orange. try this.

Radio 1.51 - Issues with BT,3G and dropped calls

I am with Rogers here in Canada.
Upgraded to Radio 1.51 (1.48 and 1.50 seemed to have lags). I have tries several different WM6 bins including Official HTC ROM..
All seemed well until I decided to use constant DATA connection for PUSH email. Email is working great, but now I have noticed if I have BT on (with my headset) plus 3G, I get disconnected calls CONSTANTLY. if I turn of 3G all is well. Havn't tried without the BT headset yet to see if thats a problem.
Basically I have two questions.
1) Has anyone else noticed this
2) I came across a link with many RADIO downloads, and cannot seem to find it again. Can somone point me in the right direction to them? I would like to try 1.43 or 1.5 again.
Anyone have any NEW suggestions for ROGERS?
Thanks..

It's all in the Wiki. Try 1.47.00.10 radio. It's the most stable radio I've come across and I've tried them ALL.

Thanks ericc,
You saved me a lot of looking around. I know I saw them somewhere, just couldn't remember exactly where.

I was using Radio 1.50 with ok results but was getting dropped calls in certain areas of town so I decided to try 1.51. Anyone find simular problem?
What a disaster. I could no longer get data to work at all. I could not get on internet or email. I tried flashing 1.51 a second time from a fresh download with same result. As soon as I flashed the old 1.50 radio I was able to get data to work again. Data is quite fast as I am using a bluetooth connection between my Herm100 and my new Lenovo laptop with excellent speed and reliability. Now if I can get the phone to only stop dropping calls (always happens at same locations).
Phone: AT&T 8525 Herm100
ROM: Schaps 3.54c
Radio: 1.50.00

RADIO -- what's it function?
Hello just a nube questions here.
RADIO, besides call quality, what else does it effect.
I had Radio 1.48 for a while, and it was working great until my recent upgrade ROM, then i realized that it was time to change the radio. I like the ROM very much.
So i did radio change from 1.48 to 1.47
then on another post, i was told to get the RADIO 1.50
I switched from 1.47 because it wasn't any different than 1.48 in terms of quality of call and drop calls.
Let's see if i can keep the 1.50.
I have cingluar,...

There seem to be plenty of Radio threads in the "Hermes upgrading etc." section..

Been using 1.47 now for about a week, and a LOT less dropped calls. and not having much issues with BT ASDPA and 3G...
Give it a shot.. so far I have tried 1.47, 1.48, 1.50, 1.51 and 1.47 does seem to work best on Rogers.

My Location (Manila 2.5)

Is there anyone from the Uk thats using manila 2.5 and has my location working? If so would you be able to let me know how you were able to? Thanks

No one can help?

works for me, I just flashed a new radio and bingo it worked.

Thanks, I see what radio your using and i'll try it

It wasnt working in a lot of ROMs, I just switched to NRG's newest one and its working fine now. I think you need to set weather to auto update etc.
Im using the newest radio but dont know if that makes any difference.

I used the radio you have, but all I seem to get is connection error whilst trying to collect the data only for my location. Can you provide any help?

NRG's newest leo ROM? What update are you refering to? Are you from the UK? & can you state what version number your radio is pls?

I don't think it's got anything to do with your radio. I'm on Dutty's Leo R4 and 'My Location' only works when I have wifi turned on in comm manager. (It doesn't need to be connected, just as long as it's on). Hope that helps.

Thanks for your input but that doesnt seem to work either. I'm using NRG's 23rd Leo ROM if that is more info to give

The only thing I can suggest now is to check the ROM thread. Find out if you are the only one having this problem of if it's a general issue with the ROM itself. Sorry I couldn't help more but I'm sure you'll be able to find your answer there or atleast someone who can give you more options. Good Luck.

Try setting your location on the time config (to your city) and make sure that auto update on the weather tab is enabled.
Works fine for me in Milton Keynes using NRGZ Manilla 2.1.

After months of trying different settings using the stock TMoUS radio, I finally flashed to radio 4.46.25.24 and YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!
Location finally worked!!! Remember that you have to slide the 3G to off so you can have EDGE, it updates every 15min(depends on your setting). Let T-mobile automatically setup your settings. This is for the Energy ROM Leo 2.5

I have the same ROM and same radio but My Location only works for me if the wifi is turned on but not connected to any hotspot. Even works on HSPDA, the problem is that I don't like to have the wifi on all day because it drains my battery. I tried in other towns around where 3G is not available and it works, but here doens't work even if I turn off 3G.
