Whats The Highest Radio On The Sprint HTC Touch That Is Official?????
Just Wondering. And Any Un-Official Ones That Work...
Im A NOOB, So May I Ask If The Higher The Radio Higher The Signal????
Just because the number is higher, doesn't mean you instantly have better reception. You have to try the ones available. Or browse around the ROM threads and find which is most used.

Does anyone know the highest radio Rom that improves the Tilt 2
The highest? Some people have different experiences with the same radio leading others to believe that their performance is a bit based on location.
So a radio taken from a European TP2 would work well for some people, but others in the US wouldn't see such good performance.
See this radio thread for a list of radios and ask radio related questions there.
I currently have 4.49.25.88 on my tilt 2 in central texas and dont have any issues.
Going to try out the latest released radio later on.
Also flashing a radio doesn't take long at all and doesn't erase any of your information (not like a rom update/flash) so dont be scared to flash one, use it for a couple days, then flash another to compare the performance between a couple radios so you know which one will work best for you.
Maybe this is all in my head so I need a confirmation. Do Sense ROMs have better signal strength/data speeds? It doesn't make sense to me but I just seem to have much better reception and speeds when using a Sense based ROM, including EVO framework ones as opposed to CM and Ruby. Is there ay reason for this or am I just imagining it?
I've often wondered the same thing.
I think, however, that actual reception is tied to the PRL, the radio, the PRI, and some more uber-technical stuff - in other words, things well under the hood that aren't impacted/changed when a ROM is flashed.
That said, I suspect ROMs play differently with those things depending on how they are built, hence what appears (or may actually be) better signal.
It all comes down to the RIL and radio. A rom won't mess with those. They should be identical. Check the signal dBm's to compare roms.

I figured it would be a radio thing but it always seemed it was changing from ROM to ROM. That being said, I switched from a Sense ROM to an AOSP one and the signal has not changed at all so thanks guys for answering the question. I knew it had to be in my head hehe

One thing you DO have control over is the firmware of the radio. There are currently 3 versions of radio firmware that you can flash. This has nothing to do with the ROM. Different people have different results in terms of link stability and speed depending on them. Look for the Radio thread to find the downloads and information.
I've actually had this issue on the EVO and can confirm after testing that the signal strength is less with an AOSP ROM (every one I've tried actually). Drives me crazy because I really want to use one.

How exactly did you test this? There are many variables that could influence signal.
What is the best radio for the Telus DHD? Im having battery drainage issues
bump.
would like better battery life
I would also like to know the Safe radio options for Telus DHD
I have seen a few dotted around and some that are reccommended to gain the best peformance with specific roms (revolution for example) But i know changing the radio can sometimes be risky.
Thanks in advance.
oh and equlizer have you tried wiping battery memory, that worked a charm for me...
yep, battery issues fixed

Glad to hear it!
Ive been trying to find posts with people advising against radio, or recommending the best fit (or general) radio compatibility with the Canadian Version of the Phone but i'm having no luck,,,
So far are the DHD radio's have the ability to be rolled back without issue?
Are there any specific radios that seem to brick the canadian version of the DHD?
does anyone have a definate answer?!
I think it depends on which rom you are using

Hi,
My radio is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and I installed a Stock-rooted Gingerbread ROM.
It came with a radio but I didn't flash it (Mabe I was scared or just wanted to test the ROM first who know...) the fact is since then, my battery life as improved and the radio signal is good enough that I didn't flash it.
(24-32 hours of autonomy with a good use of my device)
Should I think again and flash the new radio anyway ?

Radio (12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M)
I live near Ottawa, but in a lower reception area, and I have been trying radios trying to get a good mix of reception and battery life.
Currently I'm using "Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1" and the corresponding RIL on Leedroid GB rom. It seems ok for now, but if anyone has tried a bunch of radios and can suggest their own best results for us Canadian desire owners, I would be much appreciated!
a fellow telus dhd owner here in edmonton. i'm using the latest radio (check sig) with g ril on cm7 with great results. i was using hm ril's for a bit and the device had very poor performance (calls cutting in and out, slow gps sat lock, wifi/3g sporadic disconnect/reconnect, etc). all that has been remedied by just flashing a g ril instead of a hm ril.
i think it'd be good to remind everyone that matching your radio and ril to your rom type (i.e. sense vs asop) is also important. from what i've read, use g for asop and hm for sense roms. it sure made a difference for me.
Thank you for the good advice. I switched up to the newest radio and ril and they seem the best for me I am still interested to know what others agree having success with here in Canada

I'm a fairly new user, got my Telus DHD (first Android) in the beginning of april, I live in Montreal, and took the entire phone apart within the first week. Tried a whole bunch of roms, then learned the hard way that Sense roms are like beautiful girls in bars at 2 am, they get you excited at first but then it's all disappointment... Lately I've been playing a lot with cyanogen nightlies, and I've been trying to find the best battery life possible.
So far the best I got was CM7.1 RC1 with Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1
That would last me over 35 hours very consistently with heavy use, screen on and lots of data (3G)
I tried pretty much all other radios on the latest nightlies (right now #170) and haven't found anything as good as 26.06.03.24_M2. I am in the process of reflashing that one while on this nightly to see if things will go back to what I had.
When you know your rom (and apps running) are not draining the battery, is the radio/ril the only other variables that affect battery life ? In other words, would the same radio/RIl drain the same regardless of the rom you're using ?
(forgot to mention I flash Alienmind's stuff over that, so I also use LordModUE v6.9.2 kernel and I change the OC to 122min/1.3max and use Brazilianwax (that governor seems so far seems to be the best)
I'm on the Gingerbread MIUI, which is based on CM7.
I have a Desire Z, living in the UK.
I'm not bothered about data speed, since I don't have a plan.
There's a ****load of pages on all the radio related threads and I was hoping I would get a nice definitive answer if I opened a topic
Cheers
im using the latest radio, and in my opinion( I might be wrong) it's a bit better, Gps lock pretty fast, and signal relatively the same.
Do not change your radio if you already have decent reception in common areas.
Remember: if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it.

The reason I though about it was that apparently you get better battery life if you use a newer one on CM7 because of the (RILs?) Cyanogen used, which are not replacable. Or am I about to open up a massive debate here"

The best radio is often dependent on your geographic location. Different radios work better in different areas. That's why people have said, if you reception is good (and I'd like to add battery life), don't mess with it.
Is there a specific radio on CM7 for the G2 that would increase my reception?
ive noticed that someone with the same phone and carrier as me (T-Mobile G2)
gets reception somewhere where i have none.
Changing radios MAY increase reception. But it may also improve nothing, or even worsen reception. In theory, newer radios should work better than older versions. But in reality, it tends to be more geographically sensitive than anything. So unless somebody is in your immediate area, a radio recommendation is not that meaningful. Other than that, it mostly trial and error. The radio recommendation from the ROM developer is a good enough place to start. If not in the first post of the ROM thread, using the search function in that thread will usually yield some recommended radios (either from the ROM dev, or the users of that ROM). Otherwise, the newest radio, or the newest radio from your carrier may also be a good place to start.
As redpoint73 says, it depends...
I was lucky after i tried about three different radio firmwares and RILs: I have much better signal strength now.
