try a differenT ROM
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
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.

I have a Bell Desire Z unlocked that I use on AT&T. I am running CM7. I notice data drops. I will have full bars on 3G, then will drop down to EDGE for a few minutes, then back to 3G.
Any help?
This is pretty typical... a good number of users, me included had this issue and some still do! It reminds me of the Nexus one issue with data.. nothing you can do but try flashing a different radio =\... notice how the Desire z/G2 looks like a nexus but with a kb? also one thing you could do is force the device to use 3G network only.
take a look at this thread i answered earlier on forcing edge/3G.

When I had my G2 I used this Radio "Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17" do you have S-OFF and SIM UNLOCKED? by gfree? if so.. use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
btw you can also try the latest leaked radio which is "Vision_RADIO_12.50.60.24_26.08.04.16"
I am rooted/s-off etc. If I were to flash the new leaked radio, would I be able to go back down? And it works with CM7? Sorry for the noob questions

yeah you sure would be able to go back down to a different radio since you have s-off, etc! go ahead and try it and hopefully it all works good for you
Flashed the leak. So far so good. No drops, staying steady at 4 bars.

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.

hello
I tried downloading the radio file, but it seems it is down
Remember it's usually best to leave your radio alone unless your having major problems and you know its not your network.
I've flashed roms probably almost 100x but i have never had to change my radio!
I have also tried, but should not be
I'm using the ics rom with htc sense 4 made by Taz but with vodafone i have no signal i some areas... What is the best rom for desire z (italian)?

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using Tapatalk 2
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 have Vodafone too, i use latest radio posted for months! All goes fine... just check if your gps signal is good.
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
