Hello
Im using a ROM (dont wanna say which one - dont wanna diss anyone)
My Tytn I has such a poor battery life and horrible signal strength
Can anyone recommend a simple ROM and good radio that has a battery good battery life, dont need anything fancy
Sounds like you need to update the radio rom

i use 1.16 cause its the best for my country but try the newest and decend till you find one( my guess the 1.56 will do the job)
hello there.there are many good roms around here.Personally, im using V12.2 Joshkoss.Im just a big fan of his roms.
as for battery drainage and signal, it mostly has nothing to do with the rom, its from the radio. and each radio depends on the country,state and provider.hope it helped
I am using the latest Radio
Anyone suggest a good radio for South Africa?

girls,girls,girls......be very careful with all this flashing,its illegal you know....,bit seriously radio roms are not for the faint hearted and a bad flash will brick your device,as in properly bricked.do alot of research,check the wiki and be certain that the change will benifit you before flashing.
some carriers have poor coverage away from major towns and cities and no radio will give good reception in a poor or weak signal area,tou have been warned

three reasons:
1. the latest rom upgrade from orange is 1.16 meaning if u buy a tytn today youll get it with this rom.
2. i upgraded to 1.38 (actually to orange uk official rom to fix big storage problem) then i kept getting a no active data session though it was 3g'd
and some reception problem that i never had.
3. upgraded to 1.54 then to 1.56 some roms showd no problems but some did. downgraded to 1.16 works smooth as shlumi saranga

I have radio problems (I think), I'm delighted with my ROM in general...BUT when i make phone calls the call quality drops off terribly after about 2 mins (the other caller can hear me but I cant hear them - at all!) Just a nightmare.
Am I imagining this or is this a known problem ?
Do I have to go and get a Nokia ?
LVSW (is this right? you know the one) here is what device manager says..
3.30.2.1
04/17/07
radio 1.40.30.0
check here for the available radio roms,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
just try afew and see which works, from my experience clarity of call is dependant on 2 things mainly, ROM and Carrier, you will see on the Radio ROM page there are ones specific to carriers, others arent.
Personally i have had bad experiences with radio 1.41 on Sleuths last varient, changed to 1.43 no probs, flashed to Black Shadow and it seems that any Radio i try has problems on this ROM.
Try some!!! i hope this helps!!!!
The choice is between 1.40 and 1.43, dependant on your provider!!
it a little known fact that 1.43.00.00 is for UK netowrks and 1.40.30.00 is for cingular so its best for just trying each one and see what works best. for me I can tell no difference between the two so I just stick with 1.43.00.00 biggest factor is how it holds signal and bettery life
I went from 1.41 to 1.40 when I was thinking about upgrading to 1.43. The battery life on 1.40 is so much better with my Cingular phone in California.
well i flashes 1.43 - will see how it goes ! ta.

Ditto in SF. I tried 1.41 and my battery drained so fast that Mr. Einstein had to be reincarnated to rewrite the general laws of relativity...

I'm on 1.43 right now on cingular in austin, tx and all is well!
I am looking for a really good radio that helps out with the service and battery life?
I'm using 1.50 and it works good for me!
Use search next time!

have a look on my signature below, my history of radio and why did I choose it.
Newest Hermes radio versions 1.54.30.10
Is good...
What you gotta remember is that how well the radio rom works is dependant on your carrier. I can suggest 154.30.10 for Australia cos thats what the telstra network promotes but that may have serious issues with someone from another part of the world causing SHORT battery life, cutout in signal and may cause the "No GSM" error if continued to be used. Check around to see what other people from your area are using and that may be best, even if it is an older radio. This part of the phone is probabaly the most touchy and if you do have a problem (from what I've read) you will probably be looking at a brick. PDA will still work but phone is useless. Upgrade at own risk. Cheers.

Yeh absolutely right !!!
i have 1.54.30.1 is the wifi affect by radio version, this one seems to kill the battery in an hour so
currently use 1.54.30.1 and phone can last a day easily, though generally specking 1.47 - 1.48 lasts longer, will be changing mine soon enough.
Go to here for discussion on signal strengths/battery lifes etc
Connectivity using 1.54.30.10 is great in Switzerland but batterry life is less than 24hours.
Here's a thread where they tested the different radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358933
And here's the link to the 1.47.30.10 radio rom thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326995) which I've been using with good results on ATT for both voice and data connectivity as well as improved battery life:
Can someone ectract from the latest WWE Rom the RADIO?
Thanks
Dont bother, its also bad version
??? bad version?
radio is worse???
i read that this is the best rom till now. better radio,less memory leakage,better battery life.
i will be testing it this weekend. still testing 1.37.405.1WWE
Battery life seems to be better, this is true(or HTC just "adjusted" the battery display ).
3G connections also seem to be more stable, the HSDPA connections don't switch too easily back to GPRS or EDGE anymore, at least this is my feeling about it.
So no matter if this is an effect of the new ROM as a whole or just an effect of the radio ROM, it is definetely worth updating.
I wouldn't agree at all that the new Radio is "bad" or worse than the 0.93.xxx versions, definetely NOT.
is the only RADIO rom available?

How many times have you already asked this???
People aren't blind, they're reading your request.
Making almost a dozend posts with the same request actually annoys people, honestly.
this post is my first and only ask about this matter..... i haven't asked more...
keep it quiet friend!
good night
in my opinion this radio version isnt better then the former one i had. I have still very bad reception while my touch cruise receives full.
Hi guys, I'm sure this type of question has been beat to death, but mine is a bit more specific. If I'm not mistaken, different radios will have different performances on different cellphone carrier networks, the one in question here is Rogers Wireless in Canada which I'm on.
I am currently using 1.00.25.05 which I read is pretty good in terms of battery life and everything else. However I'm not too content with this radio because it seems like I've experience a lot more dropped calls since switching to this radio. So my question is, which one is the best for the Rogers network? For me, best means excellent reception and battery life. Thanks in advance.
i have tried all of the latest ones but best by far has been:
1.09.25.23
it does depend on the ROM as well I think and maybe this should have been posted in radio thread
I find 1.09.25.23 to work very well too...I'm in Toronto. Signal is a little inconsistent in some parts of my house...but that's to be expected with lots of new condo buildings popping up in the area...I assume those buildings are affecting signal from the radio towers. Battery life is decent considering I am using the 1000mah Seideo...get's through a full day most of the time with my level of use...4-8 text messages...and about an hour voice.
To me, I tried many recent radio up to 1.12.xx, but I still find that 1.00.25.06 (the default Rogers radio) is the best in terms of reception bars Battery is decent as well.

Toronto area? Also...which ROM? Recently, I've had trouble holding signal with 1.00.25.06 and am not sure why.
I am in Toronto and have never really had a problem with default one either. Maybe I don't know what I am missing but since I have never really had a problem with it I have never changed it. So I am using 1.00.25.06 with the latest Energy ROM.
I just came back from a cruise to Alaska. 1.14. worked very well for me the whole trip. From San Francisco to Alaska then to Victoria. GPS pick up was very quick and phone reception was great even off shore.

Yes...I too realize this stuff could be posted in the radio thread...but consider that on this thread we have Roger's Wireless customers; unless it's not good thing to have a carrier-oriented thread. I understood that radio performance (signal and battery) is most likely influenced by carrier and location. It's difficult in the main radio thread to determine who is a Roger's customer. My 2 cents...
1.00.25.06
I am using the factory radio .. and I have never faced any problems with my calls, reception or GPS (somewhat)....
With GPS there have been times when the fix was delayed by 3-4 minutes. But everything else ... OK
I am sure some members would be able to shed some more light on the perfect combination of ROM + RADIO

I have been using Dutty's 3.6b and 4.0 for the longest time. Recently I have been trying EnergyRom 3, Gen.Y 1.2x, and Shaks 4.3. Not sure if it is ROM related, the signal bar at work is 1 bar less now. Though, it's still going pretty strong. I may try other radio with these new ROMs.

To me it seems the same as 1.12.25.16...one thing i did kinda notice is my device getting a little hot (when using opera, as well as after a soft reset)...not sure if that is a result of the radio or the flashing i have been doin lately...will test a little longer
I've been using 1.00.25.05 but have notice loss of service in areas where I previously had service. I'm going back to the default Rogers radio of 1.00.25.06
Hi guys
Recently decided to give my phone and new lease of life and update it from CM 7.2. I went with the ViperDHD rom and am very impressed with it. The only issue I had was that the GPS wasnt working so I went ahead and flashed a new radio, I have had to do this before as I had the same issue with CM 7.2.
I took the latest radio Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M from HERE and had mixed results. I started a logger and average around -85dBm to -95dBm which I was not impressed with considering it appeared to be much better on the previous one. Here is where the fun part starts, I didnt make a note of what radio I was on before updating, a big fail on my part, so I cannot just revert back!
I went ahead and flashed 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19 from HERE with the thought in my mind that the latest version must surely be the best.....and the signal is pretty similar (poor).
I know flashing radio is more dangerous than a ROM so ideally id prefer not to keep flashing a new one each day to test.
Im currently on the giffgaff network which is a subsidiary of 02 (it uses hardware they provide) so if the 02 signal is good my giffgaff should be good (in theory anyway). Im based in the heart of Belfast (Northern Ireland) and the coverage checker online reports;
"Good indoors and outdoors. Good for mobile broadband"
coupled with the fact that I was impressed with it when I first flashed the rom im pretty certain its something I broke with the change of radio
I also understand that because I am on an ICS rom I dont need to flash RIL?
Does anyone have any feedback on what radio they recommend for the O2 network in the UK, at my wits end at a problem I caused lol!
Thanks
Rob

Even though I'm in the US and my results probably won't help you in any shape or form. Your right about what you said about rils and ICS/jb... On another note, that first radio might of been 15.56.60 blank blank blank (can't remember the last section). Just look into the inspire radio thread and see which radio works for you....no need to press the thank button if any of my nonsense helped you

Hi Rob
I'm new here too (& I'm in BELFAST too!)
I'm not sure of how we're meant to communicate here but I think our problems overlap quite a bit.
I've included a link to my recent post below.

Hi there
Small world isnt it!
I actually didnt have any joy, well the joy was signal sometimes and other times nothing in the same location. In the end I rolled back to a Gingerbread rom (Android Revolution) and flashed the radio they recommend and have had much better results.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040
Well, when I say better, the best I can expect given we are in Belfast (no-one cares about N.Ireland in general lol). Cant comment on Orange coverage though....
Im of the same nature you are, dont need bells and whistles, just want it to work and so far im getting that with the Rom above (and recommended radio...12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M)
Good luck!
Rob
I used to be a fellow giffgaff, it didn't matter what i did to the radio via flashing this that and the other i still had poor signal if i was lucky. In the end i ditched Giffgaff and went to orange and i haven't had a signal issue at all.
Giffgaff made itself a success but forgot about the huge amount of traffic on the network. A few of my mates have done the same and ditched Giffgaff.

Are you in a populated area in Wales? Although im in the capital city (Belfast) we can always expect much less than other capitals, we are nothing (even with capital status) compared to citys on the main land.
Rural (~10 miles from a town) over here you can forget consistent signal! Interesting about the bandwidth, never had crossed my mind, doubt the network would release any figures for us though!

Nope i am in a place not far from Todmorden which was the first place to get ADSL enabled and now last to even get fiber broadband.
Where i live i only has a 2G signal for most networks only EE networks supplies a 3G signal so i understand where your coming from mate.
Its the same in most rual area. Also i know you asked about Wales, I only have the welsh flag as i am welsh born.
