With all the problems people have been having with WM6 and Radio, I thought it would be constructive if we could get a breakdown of the best Radios depending on location to save further problems.
I'm on O2 in Uk and on 1.13 supplied with Jwrights 06 ROM, works great, no problems although I haven't tested pushmail yet.
If all of you who are happy with your Radio please post your ROM and location, maybe we can create a list from the findings and post it as a sticky.
Please post the following:
1. Location
2. Network provider
3. Radio version
4. OS ROM version
Thanks in advance

I am in the US on AT&T. I use 1.34, but I think 1.27 is better since I have been abruptly dropping calls on 1.34. I believe I will now go back to 1.27 since I had such good luck with it. As soon as I finish inputing this message, I will do the downgrade to the better radio.

I dont think this excercise is gonna work. This list will carry on and on and the developers cannot make special roms to suit the whims and fancies of all[Excuse my saying this]. I think some problems are network related in respective countries.
Even with other branded phones sometimes one looses signals or call is missed which is due to congestion and spectrum related.
Th4 I suggest unless its a major radio problem stick to what you have with the rom.
As for the pushmail/radio equation the developers will look into for a solution .

Well.... it might help newbies figure out which RadioROM to go for. I mean, I spent a ****load amount of time figuring out if I should have upgraded from RadioROM 1.09 to 1.13! The ChangeLog for the RadioROM does not exist and so people just want to know if they should risk breaking something which already works for them, or not. I am personally hoping for this thread to evolve into a ChangeLog for the RadioROM.
RadioROM 1.09 works absolutely perfectly in Sweden and in Australia for GSM networks only - I did not try it with a 3G network since I don't have a 3G account.
RadioROM 1.13 right is working perfectly in Australia - with some degree of surprise! I have a normal GSM SIM card but can piggyback on the 3G network of the same opeator I have a normal GSM account with. I could not do this with RadioROM 1.09. This theoretically means that with RadioROM 1.13 - the chances of you encountering a weak signal is lower than if you were using RadioROM 1.09. The reason is because if your GSM signal is weak, the Universal would switch to the 3G signal if its available and also if its stronger than the GSM signal. For me, probing the advantages/disadvantages of RadioROM 1.13 over 1.09 is still a work in progress. I am not willing to spread my observation about this just yet because I have reason to believe that the Universal has an in-built preference to 3G signals over GSM signals - regardless of the strength of each signal.
I can't wait to go back to Sweden and see if RadioROM 1.13 behaves in the same way with my network operator over there.
I have used 1.09, 1.13, 1.14 & probably more with all the various flavours of ROMs released here on the forums - none are satisfactory & none perform as well as a standard phone.
I have had calls dropped on all versions whether on 2G or 3G.
The biggest problem I have had is with email. I leave Puch mail turned on & travel; during the travel the signla may be lost or change from 2 to 3G. Sooner or later the email states that it can't get at the server & either needs the phone turning off (flight mode) or a reset. This has been common on AKU2, AKU3.2 & 3.5 and WM6, so I am assuming a Radio related issue. I have also tried it on two XDAs to rule out h/w faults.
Could be O2 though I have no evidence & others are happy with O2
Anyway:
O2
South East England (inc London)
XDA Exec
ROMs - most release in last 6 months
Radio - 1.09 & above (happy with none).
Radio 1.12.00
There is [New..?] Radio 1.12.00, does anyone will try...?
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Radio/
radio 1.14.10 works great on vodafone UK

Glad to bring some joy to the world !!
I am getting on a lot better with the O2 release ROM, the O2 extended ROM & Radio 1.09 on one of my XDAs. Seems to pick up calls 100% & push email has not dropped after 2 days.
I am not optimistic about having a 100% reliable WM6 / Radio solution for the Universal unless one of the operators produces it (& even then not so sure). I don't want a Blackberry, I like my Exec a lot, what I do want is more reliability & if that means using the older OS then so be it. I am missing the better Terminal Services Client but little else in WM6 is "required" for me.
I do like your work though & it is fun testing it on my other XDA.
so far we need to see more comments of radio 1.09 with wm6. Anyone tested that yet? we have one case of testing so far claiming problems only with phone alarm.

I uploaded to the ftp, and I have it running on my UNI. According to the people I phone with, the voice quality is much better in comparison to 1.13 and 1.14.10.
It's from T-Mobile. It was embedded in the Blackberry 2.1.2.31 dualapn package.

t-mobile dash & 3g
i've heard that t-mobile is releasing the 3g network in NYC today & 20 other markets later this year. i was wondering if the t-mobile dash was 3g capable?

Nope. Unfortunately it isn't.
of course it's not! shoot.
Nope, no 3G for Dash. But even then, 3G is only going to be for voice when it is first started on TMobile.

3G only for voice? That makes no sense. 3G is used for data, and GSM is used for voice as far as I understand it in current implementations. At least that's the way, I understand my Touch Cruise is operating on AT&T's network. And if that wasn't the case, my Touch Cruise would have an atrocius talk time.
My question is: when T-Mo rolls out 3G, will the data plan increase from $19.99 to something else? I've read up on the 3G rollout--but not much. So I haven't run across anything talking about a possible spike in price. Though unfavorable, it would seem like a logical move for T-Mo. They currently offer the least expensive data plan vs. the "Big Three", but they also happen to be the only carrier NOT offering 3G support.

my previous phone was a nokia E61 with no camera and it was 3g compatible.. as it used ofr fatser sreaming and data downloads.
I expect data rates to increase slightly with 3G on T-Mobile. They'll probably make it the same, or slightly less, than AT&T/Verizon.
The Shadow II is supposed to be one of the first WinMo 3G devices to hit T-Mobile.
TMO has already started it's 3g roll out in New York city, TMO will setup a total of 25 markets this year 2008 with rest of TMO'S markets coming in next year. Get all the facts here http://www.tmonews.com
subbed for updates
I Got The Word From TMO
The 3g device that I want from TMO will be released 9/1/08 per TMO, yeah! Anybody know when 16GB SDHC Card will be hitting the streets, I might have start out with 8GB SDHC Card. This is what blowing my mind, and the word is that TMO'S 3g will be faster than the current AT&T'S 3g. I thought all 3g speed was the same, I guess it's not. Can anybody explain what is {TX} on 3g devices...........!
My understanding is that Tmos 3g will be 7.2mps where others are 3.6mps... so double the speed. They will also be on 1700mhz band which is currently used for government security stuff(reason why they are slowly rolling it out is it needs to be vacated first). tHING THAT SUCKS ABOUT THAT IS THAT WE WILL BE STUCK WITH TMOBILE CHOICE OF PHONES. Although hopefully they will make their phones worthwhile at that point. I know everyone is going crazy about the blackberry they are gonna have

You are talking about the BlacKBerry 9000 Bold 3g, wifi, new updated media player, 2.0 MP camera, 128MB flash memory, 1GB built in memory, 8/16GB SDHC Card slot, 624 MHz processor. I got a Dell Axim X51v with a 624 MHz Processor running Lenny's latest 6.1 beta 5 ROM, I call it my UFO device, because it has UFO speeds. Rim has now changed the game and set a new higher standard for smartphones, it even has a rtsp:// youtube player built in, oh my God, RIM has stolen my blu-ray player..........!

the t-mobile phone road map was leaked a dew days ago...18 phones being released from June 1st to August 1st. Among them are the Shadow II AND Shadow III. I am assuming the III is the beloved Diamond as it hit the FCC last week. Booyah vga!

It's a touch screen device with 4GB of built in memory, it has no room (slot) for a expansion micro SD/SDHC Card slot. So the Diamond is a no go with me. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 was on that list also, now that's the device I'm waiting for, coming soon, my next smartphone toy..............!
You guys in the USA and Europe are lucky. Here in Canada, although highspeed internet is available on our cell phones, the data rates offered by the operators just kill it. Paying 40$ for a whooping 8 MB per month, anyone interested?
$15 2 MB $10/MB if over limit
$25 4 MB $10/MB if over limit
$40 8 MB $7/MB if over limit
$60 30 MB $7/MB if over limit
$80 500 MB $3/MB if over limit
$100 1 GB $1/MB if over limit

yes everthing is great about the diamond and it is the shadowIII, but the lack of a memory expansion slot is just a huge downfalll for a multimedia phone. htc should have used an 8gig instead. maybe then this downfall wouldnt be so bad. but yea this must be some sort of sale technique.
Anyone have a clue when the TP2 worldphone is due for Telus?
Also, will the front camera be included in the phone? I know in the past the vga cam was removed since CDMA did not support the dual use of phone and data at the same time, but the HSPA network under way (probably one of the reasons they are getting CDMA+HSPA antennas in this phone) it would make sens that they keep the front cam since HSPA supports video calls.
thanks.
just officially announced
Looks like the this week/next week predictions may actually be true.
yup, I kinda stopped posting here but there has been a lot going on with news about this. I also saw a forum posting (lost the link) from a telus employee saying that he got the SNAP dummy phones in today (July 14th).
I wonder what the exact specs are for the GSM antenna. Apparently it will have quad-band edge but no news on what bands the HSPA is going to be on (if at all...).
I know this is the snap and not the tp2, but it could give us an idea of what to expect. the full specs were just posted for the snap.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Telus+SNAP good news, full quad-band gsm and edge... now we just hope the tp2 will have hspa on top of that.
seems the telus version will also have a 3.5mm jack as well as geotaging automatic when taking pictures and dual band UMTS (900 and 2100) but no news on the telus HSPA bands yet (which is on the 1900 band)
2100 HSPA, no bellus HSPA for us
I have called 4 telus stores this week. 2 didn't know anything about the launch of the tp2? 1 said his manager played with one a short time ago at a conference and it was a sweet phone but had no idea when it would be available. The last store told me they have not mentioned anything about this phone at there meeting this week so she believed it isn't going to be here for a while yet as all new phones are discussed a couple of weeks before arival. In short it appears everyone knows that the tp2 is coming to telus except people who work at telus. Ha

I've just noticed that according to Bestbuy, TELUS HTC TP2 doesn't have GPS antenna ... I don't think we should trust this website
And it seems they've gotten a few things on best buy
they switched the rom and ram sizes
they put the cdma 3G speeds as cpu speed, and no mention of gsm
1000 limit for phone book entires
and the number of display lines is 5
and no mention of the camera in the specifications but it is mentioned in the overview and they mention it has a flash...
got to love product descriptions at times.

I didn't even notice those mistakes ... Anyway, I wish the GPS will be unlocked. It was locked for the Telus touch pro (1)
Well, on the Telus coming soon page they have this for the touch pro2
Available services*
* Email
* TELUS Navigator
* TELUS Portal by Pocket Express®
* TELUS mobile TV™
* Wireless web
So the gps won't be hidden like in some phones. Though I guess if they were really greedy and mean spirited they could make it only visible/available to the Telus navigator, but that seems like it'd be truly excessive.
oh no, what would we ever do? (say the people on the XDA forum; best place to get custom roms )
but ya I agree with hoping its unlocked out of the box. I think that bestbuy employee should be fired. we should demand that the specifications be met lol
I went into telus after work today to see if they had a TP2 in stock or at least tell me when they would have one. The sale girls didn't know anything about the phone but see did search to see if any where in transit, NO and then how many where in warehouse, NONE.
She said that if they got the phone before Telus actually gets it, that it would be the first time Best Buy ever got a phone before the carrier. ( don't know if that is true but it make sense )
Still waiting, I'm hoping this thing comes out in Canada before the firestone comes out in Europe so I won't second guess my choice.
512 RAM'd be smashing, but 288 for rom'd suck
800 and 1900mhz for cpu would be amazing (horrible battery life)
but if you wanted to fire anybody, it should be for the stretched picture of the TP2. It looks SQUARE!!!!!!
And firehound. Don't second guess yourself. There's always something better round the corner. Does the TP2 suit your current needs? That's the issue at hand. Sure, the Cortex A8 and A9 and Tegra phones will be capable of great stuff... but how long before good games taking advantage of those features and that can be properly played on a cell come out? For example, that zombie augmented reality game for a tegra device looks absolutely brilliant but I think it'd only be fun if it was multiplayer in my opinion (I'd feel a right fool wandering around a table by myself or while others watched for any prolonged period of time), and multi-player's gonna take a while. Same with connectors and stuff. After all, how long has it taken HTC to imlement 3.5mm as a standard? And who knows if the Snapdragon chips will have the same driver issues as the current gen (yes, they've been observed to be really snappy, but running the current software, not software trying to truly take advantage of them).
Sorry to be dense ...
Is the Telus TP2 CDMA or GSM ? I've seen conflicting info...
Basically, I'm trying to decide where to purchase a TP2 from ...
I live in the US and I'm an AT&T subscriber, but hate with they did with the 'FUZE" keyboard...and wonder if they will screw up the TP2.
I've seen the T-Mobile version, and I'm not a fan of the color ... but I could live with that.
I'm tempted to get the European version ... but would like to use 3G in the US.
Telus ? It looks fairly untampered with.

Telus is a CDMA World Phone.
The way I see it, it's primarly a CDMA phone with a SIM card that allow you to roam on GSM network.
Now the question is which band will it support. Nothing official yet so it may not support the 850/1900mhz 3G-HSDPA requierd for 3G+ speeds on ATT
Well looook at that.
Specs, price and etc are official!
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/QC/htc_touchpro2_t7379/index.shtml
Notice the UMTS/HSDPA is only 2100mhz. So no luck for 3G/HSDPA on ATT. I believe this would work on T-Mobile network.
3G EVDO Rev A (800/1900 MHz), UMTS/HSPA (2100 MHz), GSM/ EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
I'm surprised that they didn't include the Telus 3G bands. Oh well...
any idea if i change my radio version on TP2 by installing AT&T or T-Mobile it could works the 3G on it?? i have TP2 EURO Version witch is runing on Edge Speed Network.
Its highly unlikely. The only reason i'm not gonna say a definitive no is because of the rumored world tp2. Now if its anything like the last like 3-4 HTC phones the antenna for the USA 3G bands is not installed in the device so u can do all the software u want but it won't change the fact that u won't get 3G
not gonna work, there's nothing u can do. This has been addressed many times, just search.
to bad as a good phone like tp2 does not support North American 3G
maybe i should sell it because this phone one of the best in market for now and the made it in very hight quality brand but no 3G it means no internet on it 2 bad.
NorthAmerican 3G Network on TP2 ?? ¡¡¡Wait!!!
Hi guys, you must wait for the AT&T´s Fortress aka TP2
GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming ( 850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
UMTS tri-band global 3G ( 850/1900/2100 MHz)

Yeah, there is not much of a difference if you use EDGE or 3G on the phone itself. I do everything on EDGE, and i'm quite happy. The peak i got here is 20kb/s and is fast enough for my everyday needs. I can even stream youtube normally, just like my PC.
The big difference here is when you tether. On everything else, EDGE is fine.
I live in a 3G area and just switched from my xperia to the touch pro 2 and there is a huge difference depending on what browser u use. And youtube loads very slow on edge at least for me it does. 3G was much faster!
Based upon my experience with the Touch HD T8282 in the US I wouldn't recommend anyone here buy the Rhodium 100 with European 3G. I'd suggest waiting for the Rhodium 300 with the UMTS850.
EDGE Sucks, forget any streaming....period.
^agree, usa 3G is a must have for speedy internet, streaming, etc.

Hi Mmdirk,
Is there anyway to identify physically or on Windows a Rhodium 3oo from a Rhodium 100?

Omar,
If you bought yours from Mobile City Online then there is no doubt yours is the Euro version Rhodium100. The US version has not yet been released. Lift up the battery cover and the model# should be under the battery.

Hi Bersca,
You are right, it is a Rhodium100

Im sending mines back!!! That was a deal breaker for me... they should have been upfront about it... Unless I can figure out how to put US 3G on here, I'm sending it back to Hong Kong...
Upfront??? Its all over these forums on HTC's website. I'm not sure how much more information you needed? A big red sign? I don't understand this confusion.

seriously, stop posting your sob story in any thread you find.
it's no one's fault but yours that you bought the European version that doesn't run 3G in the US. if you had done your research instead of relying only on whatever online store you purchased it from, you would have known that the Rhodium 100 doesn't have the necessary bands to support 3G here.
all that info is in this forum, all you had to do was look. so stop blaming the online merchant for not being "upfront" with you, because no one here will care. it's your fault for not researching the phone further than "ooohhhh the screen tilts and it's a 3.6 inch WVGA resolution and it has dual speakers and blah blah blah" learn from this mistake so you won't waste your money and posting space on the forum.

Well i just try it but after disabling Proxy i couldnt browse at all!!!
Other thing i just notice i have my TP2 next to my iphone and on the Signal Bar on my TP2 i was having 0-1 bar and on my iphone 4 bars.. so could this be that the radio is bad on my tp2? should i return it to the store???
that's completely backwards.. I've never seen an iphone get better reception than my TP2. You could try new radio software. Also, do you have your TP2 unlocked and flashed?
Also, my TP2 is much faster at browsing than my TP was. And my TP was faster than my Tilt. And my tilt was faster than my 8525.. sooo..... If you're getting a better browsing experience on the 8525 than you are on the TP2, firstly, make sure you haven't bought the wrong wireless band TP2... Did you buy it from the provider or online?

WELL i just buy it 3 days ago from the my local AT&T store and it still virgen, i haven't flashed or unlocked, the only this i have run was the cab to mod the data speed and installed opera mobile 10 beta 3... what radio should i try for Puerto Rico?
I'm still not sure if i will better returning it to the store... and get something else..
Thanks for the reply!!
Try skyfire instead of opera. Skyfire in my opinion is much faster then Opera and it has standard flash support. So give it a go
