I've updated my Hermes with latest LVSW ROM release, which I am quite happy about, besides HSDPA issue. I've checked the thread, but it got sooo loong already, that it is pretty hard to find anything useful information out there, besides the fact that there actually *is* HSDPA problem with that ROM.
So, I have just one, plain question and I'm hoping to get plain answer - is there any straightforward fix for that HSDPA issue (like additional .cab file to be installed), or do we need actually wait for the next ROM release and do full update then?
And please, let's not make another drama out of this topic, with conspiracy theories 'differences between WWE and RUS versions, and why is that' and stuff like that. Just plain answers please, which will benefit to all those who are actually interested in that. Thanks.

it appears the rimgsm.dll has issues in the 17745 RTM release from HTC... hence was replaced in "some" ROMs... not lsvw...
I have 3.30.2.1 LVSW based. What is the HSDPA issue? My issue is the phone needs rebooted to connect to the internet. Also, the wifi kind of stinks when you have 10 access points near you. I had these exact issues on the forst few WM5 ROMs i used for my 8125. Deja Vu

It concerns only the very latest 3.30.3.3 version. Basically, HSDPA support is broken in that ROM version. In fact, when phone is in 3G mode, network speeds are just like GPRS (~50-60 kbps). Besides that, ROM is just perfect...
I get 980k on LVSW baseed ROM. I use Cingular in USA DC. I got the vp3G's take on LVSW 05-19 3.30.2.1 [CINGULAR-optimized] ROM working. I have to reboot everyonce and awhile when I switch proxy and no proxy on my 3G connections and turn on/off the Internet Sharing with a laptop.
HSDPA bug
Hi,
I'm not running this rom, but I looked at it and compared it to austinsync's fixed version. In addition to replacing the rilgsm.dll file, he changed and deleted other stuff, most of which doesn't relate to this issue. I've been wondering if just replacing the rilgsm.dll file would fix the problem, so for those of you that want to try, I'm attaching the "working" version that austinsync used. Try copying it into your /windows directory, overwriting the one that's there (you may need to use total commander to overwrite the system file, I forget), then do a soft reboot. Worth a try!
Best wishes,
Just make sure to back up your original. After I added this file -- the phone will not turn on. The handset boots and all is well, but the radio will not work.

Ouch! Sorry about that.
You could try just deleting the file and a soft reboot. It should "re-expose" the original file.
Best wishes,
just replacing the rilgsm.dll will not fix it! your radio will not work if you do so. I would recommend using my release that has this issue fixed or another such as the one slueth came out with today but its based off another build. link the my fixed rom is in my sig.
That's based off other builds actually. Consider it a "Best of WM6" compilation. Even though my core CE/HAL is from the Hermes RTM build, HSDPA connectivity actually comes from the mun_rus imgfs core labeled CE 5.2.1413 and may have some universal components. This one had the least bugs and best thruput when coupled with radio v1.40 and >

I tried both yours (Sleuth) and Austinsync's ROMs but none worked for HSDPA. I tried reverting to an older ROM which I used before with HSDPA.. and it is ALSO NOT WORKING! :O :O
Is this thing some sort of non-downgradeable horror from space? It is present even after flashing to an OLD ROM!
Does it survive because it came from a more recent build of WM6?
Maybe most of you dont really care about that bug so much, but I actually depend on HSDPA.
Is there a FIX? ANY FIX!? I dont care to go back to an old ROM! How can I completely annihilate my phone's ROM and install from scratch?
Did you see the "H" icon displayed when you tried HSDPA on my ROM? If so, then the pipe to the towers was 700K - 1meg. What occurs after that is dependent on your carrier's network. In fact, I would suspect this, not your ROM, if downgrading caused no difference.
When downgrading, you removed everything: no settings can linger between hard resets. Since your problem still occurred, I'd say its something to do with your carrier. Or.... you are running a non HSDPA capable radio. Check the wiki for how to determine this.

lol... pretty funny!
Seriously, HSPDA is working great for me on sleuth's rom, and actually all the new roms (except LVSW's). Maybe there was a service problem in your area lately? Also, double check your carrier settings.
I also think it would be nice if someone could come up with a fix short of rebuilding the rom as austinsync has, or just fix that one issue and leave everything else alone.

I have exactly the same problem. Nice rom but on HDSPA I get around 64kbit speed (( totally suxx
Sleuth - No HSDPA icon at all. I know it normally appears when Im pulling data. With this HSDPA bug my speedtests show UMTS scores now (250-300kbps)

Did you upgrade to a broken HSDPA rom before using Sleuth's? If not, then it is obvious that your phone wouldnt be infected.
It is NOT my carrier. I was using HSDPA until my phone turned off for ROM upgrade. Then after the upgrade was complete, HSDPA wouldnt come back.

Ive tried radio 1.40.30 which is tested and proven in the past.
Oh and NOT everything is gone when you flash. Sometimes, I still have a previous ROM's flash screen when booting up (like now i got your ROM, but i still see Black Dymond's screen at boot). The radio doesnt disapear either.
Wouldnt it be possible for something to get stuck as well? Especially when it is radio related.
Hi Alkizmo,
Sorry if I seemed flip. I have heard horror stories of bad flashes, etc.. In Wizard land where I come from, the advice is often given to downgrade to a stock carrier rom before reflashing a new rom. In my own experience this has only been useful for me once out of many dozens of flashes. I would expect sleuth has flashed hundreds if not thousands of times. My experience is that a flash wipes out everything related to that flash, i.e. an os flash wipes out the os, a splash screen flash wipes out the splash, a radio flash wipes out the radio. Try reflashing with another rom that includes "extended_rom", this will reset everything, then try again. If you need to you can downgrade to your original carrier rom. (Check the threads for downgrading, I haven't had to do it on a Hermes yet.) Again, I have tried all the recent roms, and HSPDA works well with all of them except the one this thread is about. I am getting about 900k with sleuths rom here in the NYC area.
Good luck!
I understand that you don't want to recommend something that might brick my phone.
However, contrary to common thinking, there ARE things that get passed on from flash to flash (hence the flash screen not changing).
Now onto the matter of HSDPA :
I've managed to get HSDPA signal, but only by changing location. Weird thing is, I've got HSDPA in my apartment before, now I dont anymore unless I walk away to some place around.
My signal is STRONG on 3G yet no HSDPA.
Ok, at least I can go back to the new ROMs that I liked and figure out how to get better signal to acquire HSDPA.

My Location doesn't work with the PDA phones, you have to select the Use GPS option, not My Location.
Did you do the ROM update and install the drivers?
Yes,,,, I Think?
Like I said, I have an Alltel version of the Vogue. I did the Rev A , upgrade thats on the Htc website. I don't really know what you mean by installing the drivers though? I tried the GPS fix on the first page , but had no luck. I followed the directions perfectly but when I tried google maps then, it said my device doesn't support it or something of that nature..... If you have any Ideas , I would really appreciate it.
Also, Is there a good rom you would suggest for me to try on here. Wm6.1. I want the wm6.1 rom, and have asked for help with this for a while now with no answer. I am tired of having to install everything one by one after a Hard reset . Is there a way to add a couple of my favorite programs to one of these roms on here, and if so or if not, what is a good rom, without the radio, that has no bugs. Thanks guys.

ok so the "my location" feature (i am pretty sure) just uses cell towers to triangulate your current pos. so dont try and click that because it is not supported for a lot of HTC phones right now. hit the menu key and check "use gps". see how that works out for you. you may have to give it anywhere up to about 8 min to get a lock at times :S. after it has a lock, you can select "My Location" and it will then simply make sure that the screen always has you (your location, the little blue dot) in the center of the screen.
if that still doesnt work (which it probably will), you can try downloading programs like quickgps, and gpskickstart, and getting other gps drivers. i would just recommend googling these terms with "ppcgeeks" or "xda" on the end.
good luck!
Oh kay... I really hope I don't get yelled at for not searching or something but I can't find anything and I seriously need help. I have the 3.42.50(I think) radio and OMJ's Custom Verizon Rom and I just can't get a lock. I've tried thousands of tutorials and haven't had any luck. On my current flash I've used this tutorial, and haven't gotten a lock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty desperate. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
First, to make sure you have the updated radio (which you probably do) go to start/settings/system/Device Information and check there to make sure.
I wish I had had such a detailed set of instructions to follow when I was setting up my US Cellular Vogue. I had to patch together instructions from 3 different sources to make it work. Of course it works, yours doesn't. Are you outside when you are trying to get at least your initial lock. When I first lock on I generally have to be outside, after it is once locked on I can go inside and it will retain a lock.
Check for my Tips thread, basic info on setting it up is there.

oh kay... sorry for the delayed response... anyway... i do have the updated radio and i dont think i've ever tried it outside... :-\ i have tried it standing right next to a glass door... also, should i be messing with the baud rate at all while trying to get a lock?... im not sure wat to do after i open GPS Viewer... i set the Com port to 4 and then i open GPS... is that all i have to do?...
and... can u send me a link to those tips TheChampJT? im bad at navigating forums... :-\
Have you ever run the MR1 on your phone? This would block third party apps from accessing your gps. If this is the case, you need to down grade to a none gps rom, the upgrade.

I might have... would a radio version be able to tell u if this is my problem?... my radio is currently 3.42.50... I did notice my radio version changed after the update so i just used cokes rom to flash it back and started using another rom...
If it came with verizon WM 6.1 or you flashed verizon WM 6.1 and let costumizations run, then you found your problem. Maybe if you tell use what you have done with it since you got it, it might be easier to diagnos.

You run it and allow it to customize and wahla...updated WM6.1 and the GPS works!
Gps has to be configured to use Com 4.
Use HTC Titan Quick GPS to updated satellite empiricals (GPS position data). I get cold fixes in 15 seconds indoors! Download it from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4914&d=1201747040
You will have to do a "Over the Air" reprogram via *228, I think its option 2.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE NEW ROM AND EASY AS PIE TO INSTALL!
Darn GPS is pretty dam close. I get 29foot accuracy 98.5% of the time!
ozzzzzzz,
did you change the location setting under phone settings? I forgot to check this and finally figured to look there.
Go to settings / personal / phone-----then hit services and select settings for location. Make sure that 911 is not selected. May be simple issue with that.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=939180
KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!
YOur first link is to reply to another thread, your second link takes me to the wiki main page, so no information on both whatsoever....

Nope. The only time I let customizations run was when I installed WM6.5.
I did the Coke .40, Sprint (no-run), Coke 2.31, Verizon (no-run), NSFANS WM6.5 (run) and then his two verizon cabs and finished with the aGPS hack with QPST. I used the Telus fix, but should I have used a different one?
I was able to get GPS (with locks after a few minutes outside). I don't think I am getting aGPS, though.
Doesn't aGPS help when you are moving or inside? I think that you would get faster locks (especially the first time) if aGPS is working.
BTW, that routine killed my voice line and SMS with a #8899 notification. Verizon networking is still working.
Todd you'll have to call Verizon and have them re-authorize your phone. The same thing happened to me when I tried that fix.

I will. That office is closed until Sunday. While I am waiting I am trying other methods and options.
I am currently on a Coke .40, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (no-cust), Coke 2.31, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (w/cust) followed by QuickGPS. This lets me see satellites and gets me fully back on a Verizon radio. (I will still have to call #8899 when their office opens)
Can anyone match up ROM versions with the MR1, MR2 designations? Is 3.37.78 MR1?

first you should run gps veiwer and get a lock before you open google maps.
second go to options/gps settings in google maps and set to managed by windows. that should work
I've flashed a few different ROMs and noticed the My Location can never update to my real location. Is it because it's not supposed to work in the US?
i am having the same problem in atlanta. its never updating.
Mine was working in atlanta today, what ROM are you using? I currently have EnergyROM Leo Manilla 2.5
You need to have google maps installed, and have it zoomed in on your location. It works fine for me in Sacramento, California. It still doesn't update very frequently for weather though, so I added Sacramento to the weather tab and changed the home clock to use that instead of my current location.
And for future reference, threads like these should ideally be posted in the Rhodium Themes, Applications, and Software forum, as this doesn't have to do with ROM development, but rather with software.
im on Fusion V5.2 Sense 2.1 ATT
figured it out
there's a work around for this, what you do is you go and set your location by adding a city, then make sure it's the selected one, and that will be your default location...and it should update..
mine does not find it in big city....but it does in small town where its roaming and G connection! but it sometimes works with wifi...i have figured that part out yet!
I had problems as well Locking on into my location. I'm using a AT&T Tilt 2 but i decided to try the latest radio 4.49.25.17 and after that it locked instantly!!
As post #4 mentioned, try loading up google maps and go to your location. At first it didn't work for me either, but after using google maps, started working properly.
When you first run google maps, it asks you for permission to use the my location service. My guess is that you need to agree to that first before it'll work.

I always cook google maps in my ROM. But I have had it working without any google maps one time. Ofcourse radio does help I think. But I do have 4.49.25.17, and it did get better, but didnt do it all the time!
I can not get mine to work with my Tilt 2 and have tried everything mentioned above..
I have had the same problems with most of the Diamond Roms also with that same feature.
The only Rom that it has worked is on my Diamond running 6.1 SUN Y MANILA 2.5. Have no clue to why it works with that specific Rom and not with others.

SOLVED
This worked for me...
Home page.
Select alarm (just above where is says "calendar").
Select the tab on the left "World Clock"
Set your location to your home town (this assumes you have already added it to the "weather")
It should now work.
@tsadek
That worked for me also using a TD2, Thanks
That's not fixing the problem. it's just using the city you manually entered. it's not fixing the My Location bug.
ok, perhaps "solved" was a bit ambitious.
more of a "work around" then.

Guys, that hasn't solved anything. You are just selecting your city directly and asking to have that information shown on your Home Screen. My Location on the other hand is more useful to people who travel a lot. It's supposed to lock in on whatever city you are in and display the appropriate information as per.
Hope we can have this sorted out soo.
So far the only suggestion that seems credible is to change the Radio. I'm going to try that and see if it works.
BTW, does anybody know how it zeroes in on your location (what city you are in)? Does it use GPS to do that?
I can think of only 2 ways as to how this works.
1) It get the coordinates via GPS and then sends it out to Google / Accuweather and get the appropriate city name and weather stats.
2) Figures out where you are based on your IP address.

Well duh its not working! The new 'my location' feature in the latest versions of Manila are designed to work with the newest Radios.
Flash either the radio from the:
4.49.25.05 from the TMO UK WinMo6.5 ROM
or
4.49.25.17 from the Worldwide HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM
For all Rhodium Radio info look here
You will be safe flashing either of these radios. It works just like flashing a ROM.
There we go, 'my location' problem fixed.

Dan from Costa Rica
(as soon as I solve this, I'm planning on starting some serious mod of the phone... coming from an old HTC P4350, it's a huge step fwd).
perhaps, you have disabled the "proxy" - try enabling it.
My connection doesn't require a proxy... it's really weird, it was working OK a couple of days ago.
Shot it the dark, but look at Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Look at the Advanced tab and click on "Select Networks"
Make sure both drop-downs are set to use the correct connection. Not sure what it'll be called on yours, but on mine (T-Mobile) they are both set to "T-Mobile Data"
Also make sure your Wifi isn't on, but not connected to a network, when trying to browse. I find that if my wifi is on, but not connected, all browsers still try to use the wifi and fail.
Good luck,
notaliberal,
Thanks for the tip.
For some reason I had one of them set differently, BUT it's still dead.
Again, I'm pretty sure it's no the phone, since my emails work efforrlessly.
I'm pretty sure something happened with the config.
Damn, it's driving me crazy.
guys, Ok, this is driving me nuts.
I have discovered a couple of details that I think are important.
I have managed to make the BROWSERS work... but it's no a definite solution.
When I turn on the DATA CONNECTION, I was able to check emails, and use Facebook App with no problems at all.... but no browsers worked.
I found out that if i turn on my WiFi, but DO NOT connect to any network, now the browsers work perfectly. This gives me like 10-30 minutes of my browsers to work, but after that time I loose acces to data again.
I have to turn on the Wifi, and turn it off, to gain access again.
It's so confusing and weird, because I haven't read anything like this in the whole forum.
It seem that it's not a hardware thing, but a firmware or software issue... or am I missing something here?
Maybe this will help:
At&T Tilt 2 Original ROM
When turned on:
B 80
R 4.48.25.20
G 61.39tc.25.30h
D 1.59.67150
I had a similar problem and it turned out the carrier had put a bar on my internet usage, from long ago without my consent... Funny thing was, I could access the weather, update time and emails with no problem from my old Hermes but once I got the rhodium I couldn't.
Might be your carrier doing funny things....
Ultramag, and by any chance do you know what should I do to solve this? or what did you do?
The problem is that I don't know anyone with another Tilt2 to check if it's the phone or what.
Tonight I'll be checking with my old HTC P4350 to see if I have any trouble conneting.
Thanks.

Are you using a Tilt2 with stock AT&T Rom on a non-AT&T network? If so, maybe the best solution would be to install a custom rom. The old AT&T network connections might be getting in the way of your carrier settings. If you don't want to flash a custom ROM, go to settings, Connections, Advanced (tab), Select Network, and check that the programs are being directed to your carrier's connection. Also check on your browsers that they are set to connect to Internet, and not Work Network or anything else.
Jose, yes, I'm using AT&T ROM on a non AT&T network.
I did as you said, on the Advance tab set BOTH to connect to my carriers settings, and I still have the same problem.
I trid to do the second thing yu asked me to do, but I don't know where to find those settings on my browsers (IE and Opera).
If I have to install a costum ROM, I'd like to try first a ROM that's really basic... maybe an official HTC 6.5, to start. Any one like this that you could recommend?
Had to contact the carrier. Got stuffed around a lot. Luckily for me I knew someone who worked in a store, they got in contact with the faults department and 3 weeks later it got fixed.... Was a major pain in the arse though...
I just saw on the HTC page, that there is a ROM that is newer than the version I'm using.
Mine is from 09/25/2009 according to the Device Info, and HTC has a version from 02/05/2010
It's REALLY driving me nuts, so I hope this thing solves the issue.

A guy from India posted about a month or so with a similar problem, he had an unlocked T-mobile programed it with his carrier settings yet the browsers were not working, had to install a custom rom to solve it. I think some registry keys have the browsers going through different network settings. Have you tried using Skyfire, or Opera 10? Maybe a browser that didn't come with the phone will work.
Regarding custom roms, I've only used Energy's since I flashed my Tilt2, and they've worked great for me. If you want a clean rom, I've heard Da_G has one, and he's pretty well respected here. Just in case you're not aware, before installing a custom rom you have to install HardSPL and do some reading. Check the sticky threads in the roms sections. And Tilt2 phones need a CAB before they can be HardSPLed, check this page http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/.
Guys, I just updated my ROM wit the AT&T one, and the problem is still there.
I guess I'll have to install a costum ROM.
I'll follow the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
But they never mention any CAB before the HardSPL? :?
-*-*-*-*-
Last dumb question:
Since I'll be testing new ROMS, once I HardSPL the phone and try a new ROM, i f I don't like it, I just have to flash a new ROM on top of the old one right? no more HardSPL? (aka HardSPL must only be done once?)
My main concern is that at first, I want a ROM as close to the original, but without all the AT&T crap.
Obviously, now I want something that solves this stupid problem with my browser, and now that someone in India had the same issue, I now it's not a matter of hardware.
Thanks.

PS: Myphonw came both with Opera and IE. Actually Opera gives me much more trouble that IE with this issue. Unfortunately, now Skyfire only works on certain countries, and Costa Rica is definitely NOT one of them
It's not hardware or a ROM issue. Most likely that it'll be fine with a custom ROM, but I only use official At&t ROMs.
I had the same issue, as I don't use At&t as my network, and I fixed it. My IE and Opera, and other built-in phone services work fine.

The CAB before HardSPL is mentioned here: http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
Some people have posted on Energy's thread saying they can't use HardSPL with a Tilt2, and they were told that a Cab is needed, I assume the one posted on that website. HardSPL is only needed once, after using it you can flash and reflash TP2 roms and radios as long as they are for GSM phones.
Using Task29 is recommended before flashing roms, some people claim that flashing a new rom might not clean everything from the previous one, which causes glitches. For safety purposes I've start doing that, but I've never had any trouble when Task29 was not available.
Regarding a rom close to AT&T stock, I can't help you with that, you'll have to look at the different ones available. Since AT&T just came with a new version it's likely that many chefs will use it as base, but how far they modify it will depend on each one.

Graham, the question is HOW to fox it without a custom ROM.
I finally figured it out.
It seems that it's a PROXY issue.
Looking more into xda forums, I found out that there is a small program under START>Tools> Proxy Manager where you can Disable Proxy Settings.
Unfortunately, that ONLY fixes Internet Explorer.
Reading some more, you can fix Opera by entering on the address bar "opera:config" (without the ") in the proxy settings, remove the HTTP proxy and HTTPS proxy (leave blank).
The only problem is that this settings are removed in Opera with a soft reset.
the only way to change Opera settings permanently is to edit \Windows\Opera\opera.ini and set the Use HTTP and Use HTTPS proxy settings to 0, then soft reset.
Thanks to user Moltenfire (original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5120862&postcount=3)
Thanks for all the help guys... Thanks to you, now, after all this, I'm decided to give the Simplicity ROM a try
-*-*-*-*-*-
Edit: It seem that after Opera 9, which is the one that came with my Tilt2, the settigs changed through opera:config STAY even though you reset your device.
I realized this because I didn't install Total Commander yet, did quite a lot of reseting, and Opera is working perfectly... so is IE!
PS: Just in case, in Opera9 the settings are called "HTTP server=" and "HTTPS server=" and must be left BLANK... in case you need to edit the opera.ini
