Whats the best radio for DHD with RCMix3D v4.0 ROM?
I have 12.54.6025u_26.09.04.11_M2 .
There is no best radio. What works for me in Ontario Canada might not work for you where you live. Your best bet is to try them out for a few days and make an opinion for yourself. Radio success is based on too many things for there to be a best one. Location, service provider, signal strength, rom version all can make a difference in what is "best"
Always flash the corresponding RIL for your radio. The radio can take a few days to settle in before you get the optimal results.
For me i would recommend 04.12m2, but it would differ from areas. Cuz at my area, 04.19 radio drain my battery when 3g is on
I understanded.. I will try some radio.. thanks

hi
there are so many different radios out there
that i don't knoe which one is the best...
need one which is good for gps and also large battery lifetime
is there any rom which is the ultimate one? now i have
03.18.90
anything better outthere?
thanks alot
For me the 03.21.90 is the best, but it depends on your location and operator and bands and others. You should test them, there is no best radio rom.

For me, It's the best rom radio
the fact is there are good and bad radio roms...when it comes to reception and battery life
so among those good radios....the difference is if you aim for signal strength, battery life or both....i personally haven't tried the one mntioned above
but am using 3.34....
so you might try both of these
had the 03.34... before and it was quiet good
now testing 03.21.90 and will look how it works
thanks so far
What is the best radio for the Telus DHD? Im having battery drainage issues
bump.
would like better battery life
I would also like to know the Safe radio options for Telus DHD
I have seen a few dotted around and some that are reccommended to gain the best peformance with specific roms (revolution for example) But i know changing the radio can sometimes be risky.
Thanks in advance.
oh and equlizer have you tried wiping battery memory, that worked a charm for me...
yep, battery issues fixed

Glad to hear it!
Ive been trying to find posts with people advising against radio, or recommending the best fit (or general) radio compatibility with the Canadian Version of the Phone but i'm having no luck,,,
So far are the DHD radio's have the ability to be rolled back without issue?
Are there any specific radios that seem to brick the canadian version of the DHD?
does anyone have a definate answer?!
I think it depends on which rom you are using

Hi,
My radio is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and I installed a Stock-rooted Gingerbread ROM.
It came with a radio but I didn't flash it (Mabe I was scared or just wanted to test the ROM first who know...) the fact is since then, my battery life as improved and the radio signal is good enough that I didn't flash it.
(24-32 hours of autonomy with a good use of my device)
Should I think again and flash the new radio anyway ?

Radio (12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M)
I live near Ottawa, but in a lower reception area, and I have been trying radios trying to get a good mix of reception and battery life.
Currently I'm using "Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1" and the corresponding RIL on Leedroid GB rom. It seems ok for now, but if anyone has tried a bunch of radios and can suggest their own best results for us Canadian desire owners, I would be much appreciated!
a fellow telus dhd owner here in edmonton. i'm using the latest radio (check sig) with g ril on cm7 with great results. i was using hm ril's for a bit and the device had very poor performance (calls cutting in and out, slow gps sat lock, wifi/3g sporadic disconnect/reconnect, etc). all that has been remedied by just flashing a g ril instead of a hm ril.
i think it'd be good to remind everyone that matching your radio and ril to your rom type (i.e. sense vs asop) is also important. from what i've read, use g for asop and hm for sense roms. it sure made a difference for me.
Thank you for the good advice. I switched up to the newest radio and ril and they seem the best for me I am still interested to know what others agree having success with here in Canada

I'm a fairly new user, got my Telus DHD (first Android) in the beginning of april, I live in Montreal, and took the entire phone apart within the first week. Tried a whole bunch of roms, then learned the hard way that Sense roms are like beautiful girls in bars at 2 am, they get you excited at first but then it's all disappointment... Lately I've been playing a lot with cyanogen nightlies, and I've been trying to find the best battery life possible.
So far the best I got was CM7.1 RC1 with Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1
That would last me over 35 hours very consistently with heavy use, screen on and lots of data (3G)
I tried pretty much all other radios on the latest nightlies (right now #170) and haven't found anything as good as 26.06.03.24_M2. I am in the process of reflashing that one while on this nightly to see if things will go back to what I had.
When you know your rom (and apps running) are not draining the battery, is the radio/ril the only other variables that affect battery life ? In other words, would the same radio/RIl drain the same regardless of the rom you're using ?
(forgot to mention I flash Alienmind's stuff over that, so I also use LordModUE v6.9.2 kernel and I change the OC to 122min/1.3max and use Brazilianwax (that governor seems so far seems to be the best)
Hi All,
I have a rooted Desire HD with Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. I am running the latest Gingerbread Coredroid ROM on the UK T-Mobile network.
The radio on my phone is Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M.
I have no issues with signal strength, wifi, etc.
Is there any benefit to flashing my radio to the latest recommended one: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
I have read all the threads an know how to do it, I am just not sure what the benefits are and whether they outweigh the risks.
Thanks
Andrew
If your present radio is working fine without any problems I wouldn't recommend flashing the new radio

+1, just bear in mind if your not radio s-off and it all goes pear shaped you may not be able to downgrade
Thanks for your replies.
Well my curiosity got the better of me and I flashed the radio. I used the method described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
I had a problem at first getting the "adb reboot bootloader" with an error message coming up saying "adb server is out of date. killing...". The answer was to kill adb.exe in task manager. It all worked fine after that.
I will have to wait and see if I notice any difference. I have a full strength signal currently.
My understanding is that the radio firmware manages and controls the wifi, bluetooth, cell radios and other low level hardware functionality.
When someone designs a ROM, it makes sense for them to pick a radio and stick to it unless they have obvious issues, as a different radio version can introduce a wide range of variables into how the phone runs.
So, there may not be anything better or worse with an different radio (although with some there definitely are) but the point is, your experience with the ROM should more closely match that of the designers.
That generally means faster, more efficient, and if you have any bug reports, they'll be taken far more seriously.
I've been running the new radio for a few days now and no problems at all. I honestly can't say I notice any difference in the signal strength, but in collaboration with Coredroid V4 the battery life seems very good.
Hi all,
Just recently rooted my phone, and now using Android Revolution HD 3.2 with the recommended radio (Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M), however my phone reception seems to be worse than before.
I was just wondering which other radio versions are compatible with this rom and are recommended?
I've read that the newest rom (12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test) seems to show great improvements all round, would this be a compatible candidate?
Appreciate your help guys!
Yes, I am currently using ARHD 3.2 with the radio you have mentioned. The 3G seems to have faster internet speed and wifi with better signal. Give it a go, because everyones reception is different depending on your country and area
Thanks for the reply. Flashed the radio to the latest version mentioned but still not getting the best reception.
Would there be any other compatible radio versions I should try out?
You can try any of the radios in the radio thread, but it may just be that your have crap reception in your area.
Anyway, I can't remember the the number but the Cingular radio was always great for me, on various versions of ARHD and LeeDrOiD.
Atm i m using the radio 26.08.03.07_M and it s working superb!

Using this too (on CleanDHD) and I'm very pleased with it. I'm in Oslo as well, although not on Telenor. A friend of mine is also using the same radio on his DHD. It seems to give the best reception over here, (pretty much) regardless of rom.
Hi,
First: THANKS to whoever developed CoreDroid!!!
It's an AMAZING ROM - the best I tried by a looooooooooooooong way: sleek, fast(er), almost as tweakable as Cyanogen7 but much more usable and very friendly UI.
I find only one area of probles: signal strength.
Where I have clear reception with my Nokia N8, I have no signal with my DHD running CoreDroid. In all honesty, other 2 ROMs had the same problem so I am curious to ask other forum members if this is known HWare problem or if it is a ROM problem.
Japan, Softbank, rooted DHD, CoreDroid, Android 2.3.3
Any idea how to improve signal reception?
Thanks for any help!
Have you tried flashing another radio?
Flashing guide
Radio thread
I don't know if there's any different recommendations in Japan, someone else will have to help you with that.
Edit: Maybe the radio radio that came with the gingerbread leak could help.
@ Hawk,
Thanks, but I am using that very radio...! (BTW, who developed CoreDroid? It's a really cool ROM).
Japan has a bit of a tricky situation with the carrier's frequencies etc... and before blaming the ROM I was wondering if anyone has had any experince with flashed ROMs signal weakness in this country or... I is anyone aware of reported issues with this specific new CoreDroid 4.8 on Sense 2.1 (signal levels)?
Sam? Others?
TIA for any help... would be much appreciated...

Whatever you do, stay away from CoreDroid V5. Personalize button does not work! I read it somewhere in the forum, but wanted to try it by myself, and found the fact.
Regarding the Radio, I never faced any big signal problem with the LeeDroid recommended Radio, but battery life issue was something I was waiting to be developed by some guru someday. Now, running CoreDroid V4.8 (over a week), and Radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M (since last night) I'll be watching for a few days before feeling any difference between the two Radios. I already got a feeling with better battery life with the new Radio.
Sam,
Instead of "feeling" how about "measuring" the signal strength and batt life?
