Best Radio ROM?

Hi guys! I'm wondering which is the best Radio ROM for my DZ. Currently I have the GPS problem, and Cell Standby is sucking a lot of my battery juice. Any advice? Thanks!

Hey,
this is a question that has been debated over and over, to make it short though: There is no common consensus on the best radio. Usually the golden rule if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it should be applied.
As far as you're issues with gps and battery life go, with the given information it's really not possible to say, whether your phone's radio is actually at fault or if it's something else.
I'm currently using the radio that came with the official gingerbread ota for the desire z (12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M), it's been pretty good to me on all the roms I have tried since then.

Hmm ok.. I was hoping for some advise, maybe recommendations.. But thanks anyway

What do you want? Someone to hold your hand? Not trying to be a prick, but there is no easy answer. Just try flashing a new radio... maybe the latest release to start with. Using the PC10IMG method with the bootloader is very easy and actually pretty safe if you follow instructions. Try some out... if they don't work, you can always flash another one. Radios seem to be kind of random in how they work with peoples' phones.

Your best bet is to read peoples reviews in the radio thread and cross-reference their location/carrier with yours. There are many factorys (G2/DZ, location, carrier, etc.) that come into play so, a radio that I say is great may suck for you.

Best radio for Italian dz?

Are you asking for a ROM or a RADIO?
Actually, either way, it doesn't matter. You'll have to find the best combination for yourself. Different phones react differently to radios. Same with ROM's.
So yeah, trial and error, rinse and repeat.

Yes but I can flash all the radio (for desire z i mean) or there are radios that work only in specific phones related with specific areas?

No. All Radios you see on the RADIO thread are fully compatible for each and every DZ/G2. So flash away, test radio for 4-5 days minimum and see what works for you.
Like I said, it's different for everyone.

I think the latest version of radio would help. It really depends on the place the towers.

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

Constant low signal

I have the newest radio but I have consistently poor reception everywhere. Thoughts?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app

A radio may improve or make you signal worse. Try them all out and find which one suits you best

You can get all the radios here http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/. You can even try the evo radios as they are compatible with the incredible. Also do a *228 and select option 2 to make sure your prl is up to date.

Only use these radios! Dont try others! They might hard brick yur inc!!!!!! Also check md5's prior to flashing!!!

They wouldnt be posted there if they don't work. I've personally used at least one version of the evo 4g radios on my droid incredible and had no issues. Check the md5 first regardless of the radio you flash.

You can flash radios from fastboot with
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio your_file_name_for _radio.img

By "consistently poor reception", do you mean fewer signal bars than you're used to, or actual audio quality issues / dropped calls?
If you're not experiencing trouble making/receiving calls, then you don't have an actual problem. The answer in that case is to just quit looking at the bars and don't worry about them.
If you're really having signal-related troubles, though, then others have posted good suggestions.

Sorry for the delay. Here is the link for radios. Last 3 radio's has no problem with ICS roms. So you can use whatever you want. there is no best radio for everyone so you must try and choose what is best for you.
