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..

I have AT&T and im from chicago, I have been using v1.11.25.01 Radio, and its been not bad at all. GPS is about 20sec, battery life is enough for what I use it for, but I would not mind checking a new radio.

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
*#*#364#*#*
Some chefs removed this utility from their ROM, but you can always get it from the following thread.

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.

Hi all,
I'm looking to hear from people who are running WM6 Preferably on the US Cingular network.
I've read that 1.38 gives the best mix of battery and phone function.
To me, having a usable phone that doesn't drop calls but also does not suck down the battery in a day is the most optimum choice.
I am currently running 1.41 Radio, (I'm a sucker for anything new) and my battery seems to not last like it used to. I have an 8525/Hermes
Although it is my own personal phone, I do use it alot for work and can't afford to be dropping calls. I don't have anything against testing different radio versions, but was looking for people to share their experiences.
The list I have found of available Radio Roms is as follows.
1.07.0310
1.27.00.00
1.35.00.11
1.38.00.10
1.38.00.11
1.38.30.10
1.40.30.00
1.41.00.10
well mate... I have 1.41 and I must admit, that I am really impressed... Third day after flash and still 40% of batt. with normal use... (usually 2 days at most)
to early to judge though, but I am 100% sure it's better than on generic t-mob radio.
br
1.40.30.00 is best for me.
I had 1.41 release, but it was not as stable at holding signal.
You should make this a poll.
1.38 on Black 1.2 and I'm a happy camper.
I had 1.38 and switched to 1.40.30.00. My battery life is MUCH better. I have a cingular 8525.
Thanks to all so far for the replies. I have added the list of available Hermes roms to my first post. I did this after creating a Poll that was quite limited. Does anyone know how to change the Poll once it was created?
For me, 1.40 is more stable than 1.41 ... on 1.41 in (oakland, ca) I was having dropped calls on the transistion from 3G to GSM ... my perception is that 1.40 handles the transistion better.
1.40, I went almost two full days and only dropped to 30%. Im active with email/txt and light web browsing.
CUSTEL had written that he had gotten the best life from 1.34. I went to that from 1.41 and the battery life is much better.
it helps if you list all of the radios in the poll..... 1.34
I updated from the 140 to the 141 radio and I do not notice any difference in battery life but I do notice that I have better reception and places that I would drop calls at now I do not lose any. .... I do not know if it is a radio issue or not but my Wi-Fi takes forever, as when I was running the 140 it was fine, I have changed 3 roms times while running the 140 and 2 times with the 141 and noticed the Wi-Fi problem with 141 and running 2.5 but I never use it and have an unlimited plan with cingular so it does not matter to me.
tons of issues on 1.41 for me. I had 1.40 but i guess i d/led one of the wrong custom rom packages and jsut checked and i got 1.41. Sigal cuts in an out horribly. And my net connections always drops. modem disconnected errors on connecting, Going back to 1.40 to ensure that was the root of my problem
no issues here so far on 1.41.. when loading a radio on put the radio on 1st then put your new OS on there it makes it work better
this poll sucks...

hahaha, actually this thread might be the first good thing (in my perspective) that a noobs done since they stopped peeing against the wind.
I first started noticing dropped calls on 1.40.30, so i'm just enjoying this. People are giving 1.41 the royal blessing and others are bashing it to hell. I'm about to update to 1.41 to see if it helps me out. If it doesn't get my royal blessing then i'm going back to 1.38
No ofense TBCOMP! you may not be a noob, but its a noobish post.
Hehehe. @custel
I want to change my vote! I voated 1.41, but i'm reverting back to 1.40. or even 1.38.
You don't have 1.34 on your list, but that's what I'm using. I've been using it since day one. Don't fix what ain't broke, I always say.
I used push-mail with WM5 and had ****ty battery life (around 30-40% at the end of the day), but if I don't use push-mail (and I'm using WM6 - Custel 1.2), I am still at 90% by the end of the workday.
.:Christian:.
Cingular User & 1.41
I've been using 1.41 since it was first posted on this site and I haven't had a single problem. Calls are clear, never dropped, Internet / downloads are fast and stable.
I think the problems people are having involve the locations they're using their phones. I'm in Philadelphia PA and this city and surrounding area is wired for Cingular 3G.
http://www.cingular.com/coverageviewer/
Maybe the newer radio is for newly wired areas?
1.40.30 for me in the Austin, TX area. 1.38 just plain sucked for battery life - I don't think you'll find anyone here who had a good experience with that one and battery. 1.40.30 was a dramatic improvement.
1.41 had more of a problem holding a connection for me in NW Austin. YMMV.

Thanks for the great and constructive feedback. If you had read from the beginning, (I've since added to the first post though) I listed only the radio roms that are in the poll, I then found the full listing of the roms that are available for the hermes devices. I also posted, for anyone to answer, how to modify the items in the poll as it is not blaringly obvious to me. I'd be more than happy to add all of the radios to the poll but can't quite figure out how... Thanks.
I apologize and feel bad for feeling like this post is harsh, but if I hadn't seen your name above the post, and recognized your sig, I'd have thought that came from someone who just stumbled upon the boards, Not from the one who's ROM I am currently running.

May be a noobish post, but to aggregate everyone's different opinions on the topic from all of the existing threads is not easy. It makes it even harder when the questions asked/ statements about the topic are usually burried on page 44 of a rom posting thread are sometimes hard to get back to. I didn't state in my first post, I'd be willing to try the ones that people suggest as I have to try to find the time to flash. let alone get stuck with a bad radio rom for a few days in a row if I can't get back to flashing it sometime soon.
Now, does anyone know how to change the poll options once the poll has been created?
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:
Has anyone else noticed this?
My internet speed goes from 1/5 to 1/3 of what it used to be, and the latency is also worse (I tested)...
And my signal is awful/nonexistent in places where it was fine with the Rogers WM6 ROM...
Is there anything I can do? Or should I just wait for the TMo WM6.1 ROM? When's that coming?
I'm with Rogers as well man and the latest ROM is amazing! Full signal - no problem.
Can you give me a link to the lastest and greatest Rogers ROM? Or similiar/better? And about my Q's in the first post...
But Roggers ROM is on WM6.0...
I am With Last Kavana's rom with WM6.1 - best ROM ever for me.
Many programs, many features, super fast.

you guys don't have to be such @$$holes about it... geez
listen guy, all you need to do is wrap your mobile in heavy duty aluminum foil (note: it must be heavy duty or it will not work) and place in your icebox for 60-72 hours...
after that you will be good to go!
When I first got my S621 from Rogers last May with WM5 on it the phone was great, hardly ever had to reboot it for anything. I have had nothing but problems after I upgrade to Rogers 6.0 ROM. With full signal I would not be able to make calls and would first to try reset the phone service through comm manager, which would rarely work, but usually have to reboot the phone, at times often. Due to this problem I even had the phone replaced which did nothing. So far since I installed Ricky's V7 ROM I've had better battery life and have yet to reboot my phone due to not being able to make a call.
In short, I don't see an issue with the Radio or the ROM.
my speed on t-mo seems like its slowed down since i went with rickys from rogers also, my signal itself seems ok and i dont drop calls-maybe miss a word once in awhile but anyways...
does anyone mind telling me if the radio can be improved in any way?(yes im a noob and i really dont know the first thing to look for, but im just asking a simple yes or no question) sorry i dont have luck SEARCHING
I've determined that consistency doesn't exist.
he has everyone right to be an @sshole. how about before you go and say that rickys rom or radio sucks, you ask around first. maybe you are just a moron and its user error? the dude busts his ass to make us cool **** for our phones and you start a thread like this? i wouldnt, nor will i, help you at all. learn some people skills. all i can picture is a 7 year old whining "whaaaaaaaaaa ricky's rom sucks! whhhhhhh"
GO MAKE YOUR OWN THEN.
I'm all Set

OK look you can look for Mikey1022 posts, look at his sig--see the mediafire link at the bottom--click on that --click on ROMS-you can see all the radios that have been posted recently. Download a couple of them and see what happens, if the old radio works for you then your good and dandy--or as they say in New England, NOW YOUR ALL SET ASS. Hows that for one liners?

Ok, I'll make my own.
Whereabouts on the ROM is the radio stored? It's not just the radio.dll, right?
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.

Which 1.14? There's 1.14.25.05 and 1.14.25.24...

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

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

Toronto area? Also...which ROM? Recently, I've had trouble holding signal with 1.00.25.06 and am not sure why.

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
Hello folks,
I know this is one of the most repetitive questions asked in this forum but mine is slightly different. I read many posts which says you have to test all the radios yourself and decide what suits you. I am running AOSP GB ROM.
I tried the latest 27.03 then went to 5.14.05.17, both seemed good and I was having good coverage for mobile/GPS. But the main problem is when I want to use 3G for mobile browsing. I see full coverage, H and everything, but when I try to browse something, nothing happens, its like no data is sent/received...It'll stay like that for few seconds sometimes a minute too and then does send/receive which annoys me a lot and prefer a consistent 2G connection which works 100% even though its slow. It happens quite regularly. This is irrespective of which ROM I use so it may be to do with -
a. Radio
b. Phone
c. T-Mobile UK
Btw, I am on "unlimited" data plan.
So just want to know if there are any T-Mobile UK users who don't have this problem and would wish to know which radio suits best for them and then I may try that n see if that helps or infact anything to boost 3G data transfers ?
Help much appreciated.
Cheers,
RD
..... I will say what you said and a lot of people said. Try each radio to see which suits you the best.
If your still having issues (which you are) then give T-Mobile a call. They do diagnostic checks and everything so they will be able to help you out more than what we can.
i find 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 seems to hold a constant H
Hey Thank you both for replying. John, I flashed the radio you said above and it is behaving good so far. Will test this throughout the day but initial impressions are definitely better.
i will definitely second that. i have been using 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 for a long time on my Desire (TMobile) and its the best i have tried.
Is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 'compatible' with 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROMs?
I am so glad you have created this thread as I havn't got round to it. This problem is a constant pain in the ass, and is driving me nuts.
You have mentioned, if it was to do with 'T-Mobile UK' themselves as I believed it was. I've contacted numerous times regarding this matter but they hadn't a clue what I was on about and I presumed it was to do with the recent merge up with 'Orange UK' to create Everything Everywhere that I signed upto, so I had requested to opt out but they're demanding me to tell them what the reason and issue was, so I did, but they did not respect my decision of wanting to opt out, so I didn't take it any further. If you are signed to Everything Everywhere, then we may have something there...
So, I left that to be... until I investigated the other possibilities... I tried flashing other ROM'S but the problem kept persisting.
However, I have never discovered it could be to do with the 'Radio' I'm using, hopefully it is as it will be less of a hassle for myself and others alike.
I await a solution...;(
Anybody can help assist me? Thanks

Would radio '5.17.05.23' fix this issue?

no radio is going to fix the issue, i've had that problem since i had the htc hero, tried all the radios, they all the same , can;t really see the difference .the same thing with the desire. what made it worse since the merged with orange.
the only good thing about orange , i get good reception indoors, good for making or receiving calls, no internet .
indoors wifi . oudoors hsdpa(t-mobile) when you a good signal is good . i wouldn't bother flashing more radios, it's t-mobile's **** coverage.
hope this helps
Thanks for your reply.
My first instincts was that is was to do with the Orange merger. If there is a slight improvement by flashing a different radio I would be grateful, if however as you say it makes no difference I'd leave the radio as it is.
It would be great if others can confirm/post a solution.
Thank you.
