How is your 3G connection since latest radio install?

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...

[Q] Wifi performance after radio update?

I have been running the original sense ROM on my DHD downgraded from the 1.72 it came with to 1.32 to freeze bloatware and get rid of the annoying SMS notification bug. Was working great until I tried a new radio to see if I could improve my patchy Vodafone UK 3G sig.al at home. I tried the latest stable radio from Cingular and found 3G and GPS was good but wifi was suddenly terrible! Right next to router and only getting 'fair' signal. Thought I'd return to original 1.32 radio using the one in the radio thread but this has made no difference. Wifi signal is now poor upstairs with only my network visible whereas I was getting Excellent with multiple networks nearby showing. Is this a radio problem or settings? I never had best wifi performance ticked in settings. If it is a radio problem does anybody know how to return to the stock one that came with my DHD - UK unlocked used on Vodafone UK network. Any help appreciated greatfully!

Apparently these radios, unless WWE, are designed for a specific area. If you're not in the area you will notice some downgrading in WiFi functionality. Try a WWE radio and see how it goes.

shut down and restart your router and try again the wi-fi. that work for me the first time.
or you can boot into recovery and do a Factory re-set

Have tried most of the radios in the thread over in Desire HD development now with pretty similar results, even tried the UK specific test radio listed there. Currently on Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2.
Have tried a reboot of router also, but that did little. I used to be able to see 4-5 nearby networks also but can only barely see one now.

Hi, would just like to report back to say I think I've fixed it. Is the wifi antenna connector on the battery cover like the network antenna is on the sim card cover?
Was at work and getting a really poor signal to the ADSL line here for external devices, whereas last week had nearly a full signal (2 rooms away). Just removed the sim and battery cover with the phone on so I could soft reset it in the process, cleaned the gold contacts and put back together and WiFi seems to be working great again.
Will report back later when I've had chance to test it at home but seems it was maybe a Darwin moment and I hadn't put the battery cover back on properly or the contacts were dirty?

That's good to know for future reference... cheers!!!

[Q] Very weak Wi-Fi signal

After searching for a solution for a while, I was not able to find one. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem.
I used to have signal in the entire street with this phone, and as long as I was inside the building, the signal was "excellent".
After an update came out, the Wi-Fi signal has dropped significantly.
Now I should be happy if it connects when only a few meters away from the Wireless-N router!
All other devices in this network, including an HTC Sensation, have no problems with the signal at all.
I have contacted HTC and they were "looking into this matter". But it has been a while since this problem appeared, and I am afraid there is not going to be any fix by them.
So I decided to root my phone yesterday, using this guide and I am currently using Android Revolution HD together with the RADIO provided in that thread.
Now it seems to have a slightly better signal, however there are no white bars shown on the Wi-Fi icon, while it states that the signal is "excellent" at the Wi-Fi search screen. The connection also still drops frequently.
I am definitely satisfied with the results, but I do need this Wi-Fi problem fixed.
Is anyone here familiar with this problem, and is there anything to be done about this?

This was a problem with Lees kernel. Good signal, just not being displayed correctly.
Turn WiFi off/on, and it should work.

That is the very first thing I tried and it did not help.

Did you wiped all data before flashing with the tool provided in ARHD-thread?

Yes, I did.

First Backup your current ROM. Try to find RIL matching your RADIO. it might help you
Have a look at this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040986

I am already using the RADIO provided in the Revolution thread.

[Q] Radio question.

Searching did not reveal the answer.
Before I rooted (2.2 and radio not known) I would have full strength anywhere in the house with WIFI. After rooting and installing CM7 my signal is weaker.
Installed 2.15.10.07.07 with no improvement or with 2.15.00.05.2 (current)
WiFi scanning in areas I used to receive service fails to obtain them.
3G seems somewhat weaker but that is only a guess. GPS is good.
Advice?
(or after rooting it is really now telling me the truth)

Wifi has nothing to do with the radio. Not sure what your issue is caused by though. Wifi bars may visualy change at different percents in different roms like battery mods do.

[Q] Data connection problems

Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you

what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now

OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.

Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention

if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?

Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/

Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?

Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm
