Hey Guys
i just considered installing the new WM6 Update for my German O2 XDA Orbit...
but as far as I read, I came to a conclusion, its not yet worth installing because of the very poor battery life? Or is this "registry hack" mentioned in another thread really working?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Did anybody have a good experience? I am still unsure.
Thx for your hints!
Vic
i have edit, customized and write to XDA Orbit extrom, this is work perfect and i have not problem with battery !!
look this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296276
I'm with you on that nicknicker. It is tempting to do the WWE WM6 but it doesnt seem like it would be as stable as I would need it to be. I travel a lot and relay on the calender/wifi/and email functions of my phone and risking stability is not in my budget. I guess one could ask why I even bother playing with it in the first place...but what I have accomplished thanks to this board has been worth it. I am going to wait for the HTC or O2-UK WM6 release.
I am however very impressed with the fact that these people were able to do this...
i did the WM6 english update as it is described in this forum 5 days ago and the only thing i can say is that its AMAZING !!.. everything works fine , super FAST and i have absolutely no problem..
i havent noticed any battery problem and definetely i will keep this rom.
i recomend it!
My P3300 is running faster than with WM5 before. The battery indeed seems to drain a little faster than in WM5.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002

Not realy working for me.
After one night battery goes down with 20-30% only in standby

Is this not because you're playing with the phone more now that its WM6? I know that when I first got my Artemis the battery life seemed appalling after my previous SE device. After a few days once I'd stopped playing around with it so much the battery life seemed to get better (possibly the battery becoming better conditioned after a few charges?) and even now when I use it more it obviously lasts less time.
Have to say, no issue with battery life since WM6 upgrade here.
I did the OS upgrade only as my device is still CID locked. Perhaps it's something in ther radio flash from the rest of the full package.
I did the upgrade, battery life is worse, but machine is pretty faster than B4.
Another issue is that the call-auto recorder Vitonote software ainta able to record calls anymore. I am waitin for un update.
Each time I did the registery hack my ppc goes bad, with new "extendROM" appears in my storagecard??? wondering why?
Is there a way to flash the windows mobile 6 part only and keep the existing radio version 02.67.90 ?
TIA

This WW6 doesn't touch your radio version at all cuz it aint complete ROM, so Don't worry about Radio here.

yes, that can be true what you are saying.

o2Customer services and WM6
Not sure if this is too relevant to the thread but thought i would share anyway!
I spoke to th lovely people at O2 UK whom suggested the proper release of the WM6 rom for the XDA Orbit (Artemis) will be the back end of the summer!
This being my first XDA, is the the kind of support you get from O2 UK? I mean, Germany have the ROM already available as a download, not only that but their site is far better and far more informative!

Followed this up. Reinstated the original t-mobile ROM then did the OS upgrade keeping my old radio 02.49.90.
Seems to have worked well. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the CPU being ramped up and so far the battery life seems much better.
Maybe the t-mobile devices don't get on with the latest radio version?
ps does anyone which drains the battery faster exchange server or imap checking every 5 min?
Cheers

I am looking for a really good radio that helps out with the service and battery life?

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.
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
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=760449ead11b09558c9e7c56ba37815f7f39767b5e10e62f
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
flipping though the ultimate radio list, most replies were out of the US and those that were, only 1 was with AT&T and that 1 user has a custom ROM.
how many AT&T users do we have here?? don't tell me 2. I am interested in the 25.23 since it's fast but eats up battery life which i can live with since a charger is always nearby for me.
any other radios AT&T users here are running off of? thanks!
I am on AT&T in New Orleans, LA. I am using 1.09.25.23 and have been satisfied with it. It does use a bit more battery than the stock radio I was on, but overall I have been satisfied. I am able to get signal in almost every place, which is saying a lot since I am a med student, and most phones drop signal as you walk in the hospital.

wow, that's great to hear. i'm trying to flash it but i'm stuck at 0% with the 262 error.
gonna investigate and get this radio rom working; i really need something that has better/faster gps reception as well as getting a signal though what i have now, 25.08 isn't *that* bad when it comes to calls/data.
I have AT&T in FL and I've been using Radio 1.15.25.14 with the same Rilphone...battery life is great, I typically get 36-48 hours with pretty heavy use (calls, text, email, facebook, internet, playing...) I've had no problems with call quality or anything. Don't know if there's a better radio, but this one has been working great for me. Not sure about the speed of the GPS, although with "my location" in the weather tab, it tends to find me quickly...hope that helps.
Interesting Andrew I might have to give that a try. I was pretty happy with my radio, but it has been draing pretty quick with yoz's new rom. How are you liking Benko's rom? I had it, but not the 5.0, previous versions were a little buggy for me.
As far as the gps for my rom, gps takes a while the first time I boot it up after a rom instal, but after than, I am able to get a lock in under 30 secs usually. I do use quick gps, so not sure if that makes a difference.
sumtin wong.... i can't flash anything. i can't even put in a hard-spl (any version) on my phone to change the radio.

Hi Andrew I too am in Florida, in O town! Sorry for the NOB question,but how do I change the Radio code? I Have a stock HTC Diamond 3G, so I'm just trying to figure out the best Rom that is Stable, Fast, and bug free. Also I want to Run Touch Flow3D 2 on it. Any suggestions?

I'm not too far from you, up in Fruitland Park, just north of Leesburg...
As far as changing the radio, there's some good stickies on how to do that, as well as upgrading ROM, and I'm not qualified enough to try to explain it...
Recommendations on ROMs: from what I've found, ALL of them have some things you'll like, and some things that you won't...it's a matter of trying out a bunch til you find the one that suits you. I've been switching on a regular basis just to find the nonexistant perfect ROM. My thoughts: Benko's are real nice, stable, and functional. I'm downloading 5.8 now, so we'll see. Couldn't use 5.7 b/c of email issues. NRG's are the best looking, but RAM issues are a consistant problem. SUN Y RC1 is my current, but I've been having some weird issues, and I like WM 6.5 or 6.5.1 better than 6.1...
Again, just my two cents, try some out and see what you like...but be careful, it's addicting

Thanks for replying back Andrew! yeah you are not too far from O town, good stuff. Hey would you mind sending me a link to download that same Radio code you have. I too am using At&T on my stock Radio from HTC v1.00.25.08. Its not that great at all, I hardly get more than half signal strength. I would appreciate it if you could share a link where I could get it. I couldn't find it on the Stickies for Radio upgrading. Thanks pal. Hey I heard this ROM is really good and stable 6.5cleanbasic ROm, I'm going to give this a try..

One of the links for the 1.15 radio is in post 773...FYI, I don't mind sharing the info, but there are some people on here that will yell at you for not searching...just type in diamond radio 1.15 in the search to find more info. (I actually had to do that to re-find the radio).
@apple, I have hardspl 1.40 as well, that's all you need, just make sure you've read all the flashing info ahead of time so you don't brick you're phone.

Hi Guys,
I'm in SF Bay Area using AT&T, have been using 1.00.25.16 on my DIAM100 (Diamond from UK). One thing I'm frustrated with newer radios (those ones other than 1.00.25.*) is I couldn't get 850MHz band to work on my Diamond. With my current radio, signal quality is fair and battery lasts only about a day.
Can anyone please try to identify if your are on the AT&T 850MHz band.
What I need to know is:
1. Your Diamond Version: DIAM??? or just US Diamond, or EU Diamond
2. Your Radio Version:
2. the "Band" from the HTC Field Test: can be PCS or 850
To invoke the HTC Field Test, just dial

im using 1.00.08.25 in Indiana, i tried the newest 1.17 but it didn't work out to well around here.
battery life is great, usually 2-3 days with normal use (text/call and internet browsing occasionally) gps speed is good, kinda has a tendency to lag about half a block behind my actual position, but i think most of them are like that.
