Hey guys! It seems lately, my signal, wifi and mobile network really sucks. Its really bad with the 3x roms. My radio now is 26.02.01.15m2... I tried to do the virtuous ril to radio auto launcher but then the radio wouldn't even work. Its there a better one our what should I do? Thanks in advance!

try a differenT ROM

There is no better radio, just different. Download a couple of the later ones in the radio thread and try them out. What works for some doesn't work for others.

Oh, they change with roms? Didn't know that.. Relative noob. Lol How do I download and install them, like a ROM?

In the development section there is a thread dedicated entirely to Radios. I'd suggest looking there.

I also had a problem with my WIFI on Desire Z. Only when I flashed a new radio it got fixed significantly.

Yep all you can really do is try a few different radios, the latest version is not always the best. Each radio may perform better or worse than the others in your specific part of your carrier's network.
The thread which has all the radios as PC10IMG files is great, makes it pretty simple to flash a new radio. Make sure to delete the PC10IMG file from your SD card after flashing, otherwise it will want to flash it again everytime you try to access the bootloader.

Thanks guys, as usual, very helpful!

Just to clarify, ROMs don't change your radio. They are independent.

ril

what is 'matching ril files' nd how it is
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Its matching your radio to your rom. Just use the latest tmobile radio would be my advice.

I think that's not quite right. The way I understand it's rather that you adjust your rom to play nicer with the radio version you're currently running and in the process achieving better signal reception etc.
Ril matching means, that you match the 'radio interface libraries' of your rom to your current radio. There a few scripts out there that will do this for you, but I don't know if there being kept up to date.
However I don't think that this is a really something, you need to be concerned about unless you have specific problems that need to be fixed.
Never change a running system and such..

my wifi signal strenght is quite poor nd i was lookin for the solution how to get it better

I always flash after I use a different hboot and it seems to make my reception better

It should be noted that different radio versions work differently depending on your location. Would be best to search that thread for favorable results in or around your area in the replies, then match RIL files with said radio version.

Radio for gen y visionx b5

I have a G2 with desire z hboot and running genY visionX B5 i was thinking of upadating my radio=26.02.01.15_M2 first of all i want to know the benefit of doing this and the best one to flash i was told it helps in battery life and communication enhancement ..............pls.........help...........:good:

I REALLY NEED HELP PLSSSSS :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

There are too many factors to tell you what radio will work best for you, depending on your location, who you use your phone, what ROM/modifications you use
having said this many find the latest T-Mobile radio the best (.19) of course I promise you nothing but for me it gives great battery life and reception.
There is a thread in the developers section with links to every radio for the vision, try a few out for a few days at a time and see what works best for you. There will also be a link and explanations of the benefits to matching some libs. Edkeys also has a thread on this as well, I suggest reading up a bit and running a few tests by yourself

Pls can this damage the phone in any way an i unlocked the sim and am using vodafone i do alot of traveling and vodafone is in many countries but can u drop the links to the stuf will help

changing radios in itself or having a different radio won't damage the phone, it is possible to brick your phone anytime you tamper with firmware, but unlikely so long as you read up and know what you are doing.
not by a computer so I won't send links but the search function works well, just search the dev section

well that's not always the case, sometimes gps will lock immediately still. its a good idea to wipe efs though, if you read through that thread and the other threads linked from it there will be all the explanations you need. but again flashing any one radio will not guarantee better reception, gps lock, or battery life, just most people find the .19 radio does

yeeeessss just flashed it every thing isss feelingggg kinda slow but the gps works great pin point me good but am still worried if i have to wipe
cos its slow now i have the wipe file ready which will wipe only the said partition shud i do it cos i hate "slow"

changing radios shouldn't slow down a rom, wipping efs won't speed up a rom

HTC system update

Will this mess with my rooting or put back the ssa app which is for activating?

If your on CDMA don't flash it, I heard cdma has an ota that blocks the boot.IMG flashing option. If GSM just use ota rootkeeper and you'll be fine.
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium

You're right about the CDMA ota. It's a known issue reported by many Virgin Mobile users.

Thought So but didn't wanna say for sure since im on GSM so never read the cdma threads, just thought i'd leave that part to the cdma guys they know more, maybe they even know a update number or something so that the OP knows that if the ota is lower than that he can still safely flash it (assuming he is cdma)

Which also updates the radio. I had to reinstall it back to stock with the RUU nonsense to get back to the old radio in order to flash anything that would work for more than a minute without rebooting.

worth switching?

Hi , I'm currently using Lg g2x
and it seems like this phone is a good option for me right now.
i have a few question for the phone.
1. How are the driver and development support for this phone? ( both from samsung and devs)
my g2x is a pain right now because LG did not release enough drivers and we have no fully working ICS/JB and developments are dying....
2. Are there screen burn in problems?? (This was the major reason why I tried to avoid AMOLED phones)
3. what is your general opinion?
Thank you

This phone and the dev support kicks ass. I had no qualms about keeping this through the S3 cycle, and every time I think I want to upgrade, I'm reminded that this phone does everything I want it to do.

Ex-G2X user here. By all means, go for it if you have a bargain! This is a sweet phone, so stable compare to the G2X.

Dev support is killer!! You'd be crazy to not switch to an S2 or S3.

Im an ex g2x user also and I'd totally make the switch if i were u also

Oh I was reading development thread and I saw that some ROMS need to flash radio? and I read about people flashing radio file. (ULV..etc)
What is it? is it necessary? are there ROMS requiring specific radios? Thanks!

I'm in Canada as well(however with Wind Mobile) and so far the stock koodo or Telus radio suits the best(most reliable, no data drops, etc). You may try different radios from the thread below to see if any of those works better for you with your provider. The stock koodo is there too if you wanna go back to that.
Radios in general affect the mobile signal, data connection and wifi signal. On a side note, the Telus Jellybean release is just around the corner for our device (April), we will see how is the bundled radio performs once it drops.

Flashing a custom rom(unless stated otherwise by the rom developer) won't touch your radio. So in theory your signal and other radio characteristics will remain the same. However based on the feedback in the radio thread some radio performs better for some user depending on their location(most of them are US based Tmobile customer). So it's about trial and error, try them and see if you have better results with different ones (signal, ping, download/upload, voice quality, battery life).
For Wind mobile here in my location (Ottawa) the koodo radio is the champ.
