This isn't related to any particular ROM as I have tasted this with various sense and none sense ROMS... Has anyone since using the latest radio had issues with connecting to 3G or having very strange fluctuations, where the signal might go dead completely then back up to full?
I seem to be experiencing this with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
nope seems fine with mine. OD rom in Australia

The mentioned Radio is really poor in 3G Network. Especially change between 3G and EDGE. When I disconnect from Wifi it too often doesnt connect to the GSM or 3G again - the bars are there, you can phone but cant use data connection.
I hope there'll be a updated radio soon!
Im not happy with 5.09.00.20.
Hi,
I'm also experiencing a poor 3G connection with this radio.
I'm not happy with that.
Vodafone Spain, also same while itinerance in Portugal, USA.
Best
this radio has been absolutely fine for me.
having poor reception at singapore here too...
should i downgrade the radio?
Working best for me. From Malaysia.
Not working at all well for me. All was working great until I flashed to this radio. I'm now experiencing complete signal drops at least once an hour, have to toggle airplane mode to re-enable.
I tried rolling back to each other radio bar the first 3 or 4 with the same result.
Could it be something else or am I missing something when rolling back the radio?
It works fine for me as long as I stay in Copenhagen, but I've experienced losing signal altogether when travelling, this didn't happen before, so I think it's because of the radio.
I have a weird issue where I never seem to be able to access the Internet in any way until the connection icon changes from "3G" to "H". Is this normal? I haven't noticed this on the stock radio but then I didn't keep it that long...
Still having this "issue". Anyone else?
New version is working really better here.
Where could one get that version? And is it supposed to work on any ROM without breaking it?
I have the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio and am on Telus.
I have the same issue as you. When the icon shows 3G my internet doesnt work at all but as soon as it changed to H (bang) full speed internet..
It did it for me on the 32.43 radio but not on stock. Anyone know what the stock Telus Radio is?
Guys you do know on telus we dont have a 3G network its strictly "H" that would be why your internet does not work. I would like to know how you managed to get stuck in 3G as i never have.
I have no idea - i just updated radio and rom to 2.2 Official (but rooted) - i entered the apn settings from the telus website.
When on internet things will be fine, internet loading (H in task bar) and then suddenly it will turn to the 3G icon and internet will freeze until the H icon comes back. Strange...
When i go into the settings and check my phone model it says its a HTC Desire A8181 - i checked the internet and this model is 3G Dual-Band 900/2100MHz.
Before i flashed a 2.2 rom my model showed as HTC Desire 8182, which is 850/1900 3G.
Could this be why its getting stuck on 3G instead of H?
My model also displays HTC Desire A8181 and I'm running a 2.2 ROM.
I don't remember what it said before on the Telus stock rom, but I could try flashing it back to see, since I have it in backup.
If you could try flashing it back that would be great - i think i have my Nandroid backup but its on my works computer...

Ok currently on miui 1.29 I noticed the wifi signal is not as good as a sense rom also applies to cm6 rom. Currently have latest radios and 76 hboot. Any tips?

The signal is most likely exactly the same, the different roms may just express the signal strength differently in the icon. (the same strength may be 3 bars on one, and 2 on the other.)
I also have an airwave and Im not getting any signal
Hi, for quite a while now I've wondered why there is no way to 'prefer 3G` under network settings, instead I use the wcdma/GSM auto. But the problem with that setting is 1min I can have a full strength 3G signal, then without moving or anything it jumps up to HSDPA signal, but extremely weak..... like 1 bar, therefore it's slower than the 3G, is there any radio to `Prefer 3G`?
I have a Rooted Stock ROM-2.2 +Sense-Froyo (without the OTA update) + Radio version: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
I would simply prefer it at this point there is any way at all to just restrict it to 3G MAX, as H even at 3bar signal strength isnt as fast up/down stream as a good Full 3G performance. (not that it ever stays on 3G long enough for me to notice, just from 2G-->H )
many thanks
I`m in the UK on Vodafone BTW.
Have you tried this widget?
It's for controlling 3G/2G networks.
On the other hand, you could always try some custom ROMs. ROMs such as DeFroST or CM come with CM Tools, which allows you to change your signal (3G only, 2G only and 3G/2G) in the drop down notification bar.
If all else fails, just flash a newer (?) radio.
as far as i know i`m on the latest Radio. unless there is any custom Radio ROM i`m un-aware of, 1 that maybe allows extra options in the settings menus relating to networks etc.
(i assume you mean radio ROMs, not full HTC ROMs)
Can i get this DeFroST app on its own to put on my Rooted 2.2 Froyo HTC Stock ROM, most stuf i searched for suggests complete new ROM, but i dont even know if theres any extra in that app for the problem i have ?
cheers.
Based on this thread, you radio is probably not.
Also, if I understand correctly, you just want to be able to change signals without installing a custom HTC ROM?
Then I suggest googling for a widget to allow that on your stock rooted desire.
Hello
I have just helped my father root his DHD with ARHD 6.3.1. I use it on my own and have no problems..
He on the other hand has problems:
On GSM with dataspeed "G", he gets none to 75% signal bars for regular cellphone.
On 3G/H, he gets none in signal bars for regular cellphone, meaning it is impossible to call him..
I have reflashed the radio that is recommended for ARHD 6.3.1..
He is using Telenor, SWE.. But the odd thing is that another phone using the same operator, has full reception..
When we looked at the singal strength in settings -> about phone, he had -100dBm to -120dBm..
Do anyone have any ideas and tips?
Try switching radios. 26.09.04.11 has given inspire and dhd users good results.
Hi, where can i find that radio then? :/
is if from mike and regular flashing via fastboot as he does or?
nvm, google is my friend.
Thanks for the tip, will give it a go.
Hello all,
I just unlocked my bootloader and flashed Omega Rom 2.5 (4.2.2 JB) Rom with 3.0.16-hellboy kernel , and after that i am experiencing weak signal bars in some areas where i was having a proper signal earlier, Can it be due to kernel or any other issue? Please help me out if i need another kernel or can try out something else?
Hi,
the stock ROM is easy to show lot of signal bars even with weak signal. You should check with a dBm-meter (with apps like sensorly or opensignal) if your signal is actually weaker or if it's only a display variation.
Anyway, you could switch for IronMan kernel, it can't harm.
