Best radio for 3UK

Hi guys. Decided to do some research. What radio works best for you with 3UK? If you flashed ril as well, please include that information. Personally, best one so far is .14 which comes with the last 3UK froyo update.

32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 & HTC-RIL_1.6.1062G (see sig) works decently for me - is this the froyo one? Poor reception are and signal generally worse from later afternoon. Tried the new 5.17.05.08 & ril in my sig but reception was really poor.
Any others?

Agree on the latest one, but I noticed that it didn't completely loose signal for much longer than other radios. Has anyone tried earlier versions than .14, pre froyo.

I found it terrible difficult to connect to 3 at certain times - it would list it searching for networks, yet selecting it would result in 'Unable to connect to this network at this time'; I tried *#*#4636#*#* and chose wcdma only but it didn't seem to stick some times, GSM prl(?) auto I think worked sometimes. Assume it's just my poor reception.

Hey, did you ever manage to find a solution to this problem?
I have an Orange UK branded Desire that I have unlocked using sieempi's SIM-Unlock Utility, however when I inserted my 3 PAYG SIM it is doing exactly what you described in your post.
If I leave it for about half an hour it will connect to the 3 network with full signal strength, however, after a while it will revert back to 'Unable to connect to this network at this time'.
I decided to test it out today whilst I was out and about to see whether it would work correctly in a better signal area but it managed to kill my phone's battery after around an hour.
Now usually my battery life is perfect, and using my current Orange PAYG SIM under Oxygen 2.1.3 will last for at least a full day, using Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile internet.
I desperately want to switch to 3 though as there AYCE on PAYG for £15 a month is pretty hard to beat!
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you guys tried flashing different radios and checking your APN's? Especially for Dazeon, as you are on Orange. Latest official radio was that one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26257623/Radio/32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14.zip , but I use all the later ones with no problem at all.

Sorry, I don't think I was as clear as I could have been in my last post.
I have zero problems on Orange using radio 5.11.05.27, everything is perfect.
The problems arise when swapping out my Orange PAYG SIM for my 3 PAYG SIM, which is what I would like to use.
The test I conducted today was using the 3 network.
I'm thinking there might be an issue with the SIM unlock.
As I speak I have full signal with 3, with a little 'R', even though roaming is definitely not selected. However, I still have the triangle icon on the left with the exclamation mark informing me that it could not connect to the current network.
If I pop the Orange SIM in then all is good.

ThreeUk uses Orange for roaming in certain areas, that's why you see R and can't connect to 3uk network. Try in different area.

[Q] HELP!!! Signal issues.

I've tried rebooting, factory reset with and without sim card, power down and back on, remove and reinsert sim card, clean the sim card, and in one or two ocassion it had signal but they went away after 1 or 2 minutes. Can somebody please help?

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I am rooted. And i dont think its a cell tower because I switched sims with my sister, I put my sim on her iPhone 3GS and put her sim in my HTC G2. I had signal on her phone but she didn't have signal on mine. Also I don't know where I can check my radio, is radio and baseband version the same? If it is well then its 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

even i am having the signal problem when compared to my other phones. Nexus sits on full signal and One X keeps moving between 1 bar and 5 bars when holding in hand..have checked the display phone in my local shop which is also behaving same....do all of you have this problem?

I had problems with a cut mini-sim. Got it replaced with a proper micro sim and all is fine.
M.

For the people who have cut there SIM card, make shure you are using the new generation SIM card. Cutting a old generation one can bring issues!

That's weird. My one x is getting signal where my sensation had none!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Woke up today, no signal and sim couldn't be found.
Was fine last night.
Either T-Mobile deactivated it because they have sent me a new micro sim, the phone is a dud or somehow the cut sim decided to break itself over night somehow.
If the new sim doesn't fix the problem, the phone is going back and ill just buy something crappy to tie me over till GS III.

It has good wifi reception, I'm getting signal in places where I'd have to wave my hands around in the air before. But the gsm signal is really annoying me
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

none of you have my problem . My is faulty. no reception at all.

Mine jumps from H 3 bars to G (gsm), back and forth. Very sketchy signal.
Using a new micro sim I received today.

Hmm.. I'm using a cutted SIM and it didn't show any problem. Instead, I am getting signal at dead spots compared to my DHD in the past. Weird..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Got a microSIM sent out by my provider. Works fine. I'm getting even better 3G reception than with my Desire S. Sounds like a faulty sim to me.

Strange behaviour you guys are having there. My signal strength on the same telco has been improving switching fr DHD to HOX. Some places with weak signal reception those day in DHD (with 1 or 2 bars) now I could get 3 bars.
Most of the users in my region do not faced such issue, we are seen the coverage is jumping fr H to 3G back and forth rapidly, which we believe is due to service upgrade (cos have been notice such behaviour even in DHD)

I have exactly the same issue with you.
Actually this is my 2nd OneX, the previous one has "yellowish display", but there was no signal reception problem.
After replacement, I found the new one has the same problem described by you. It changes between 3G<->H quite oftern, and I found that mobile radio goes off very often, but then it's showing me "preparing SIM..." and signal comes back again!! Since my SIM on the previous OneX has no issue (at least I used it for 4 days already without this problem), so I don't believe my SIM is the root cause (and mine was the official micro SIM from telecom).

Yes, I agree that for some location that normal phone doesn't have any reception signal, OneX does have signal. And it also changes from 3G<->H quite frequently.

I'm having this issue too. It seems when the phone is trying to talk on 3G instead of H, it doesn't work. So, everytime the signal switches to 3G, I lose data. I still haven't been able to run a successful Speedtest.NET test on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas?

Also gave my HTC One back to supplier. Signal issue became so bad that i had almost no signal.
I found that when i was in a building my signal disappeared. Hold your device upside down and you get better reception. Also made a benchmark test when I got the phone and it score 4700+
when the signal issue started i did a test again and it only scored +/- 3700. Must be hardware. I tried Hard resets and nothing....
Going to be a long wait as I'm in Namibia in Africa and phone was ordered in UK. But overall just an awesome phone !!!

data connection dissapears after deep sleep/12 hours roughly

not sure why this is happening im using boot image 6.2 and android revolution 6.3.1 baseband radio 2.1204.127.19 and when I come back to my phone the data connection is gone, I have to reboot to get it back
what the heck is going on ?

Are you with three mobile? I had this issue on all roms but today I have fixed this by getting a home signal box so far I've had 5 bars signal constantly and no dropouts no missed calls i would advise getting one but its home only so problem will most likely happen when out and about

Network signal issue

Hi all
I have an issue with the Desire. Thing is that I got no network signal. I have been wondering for long time if the IMEI was blacklisted, but I found out that the IMEI is ok, no barred at all. And yesterday, messing a bit with the phone radios etc... I managed to get signal! But It was while i was using my spanish sim (VODAFONE carrier). When I inserted my UK sim car (woth 02) I couldn't manage to make it work.
I am a bit noob about that radio thing and ril... but when i use those RIL with the G, my phone is like it got signal but cannot connect to the provider... (emergency calls only...) and when i use the others is like i cannot get any signal at all...
I also tried to clean inside the phone... not sure if is a hardware or a software problem...
any ideas?
thanks!!!

how can i check it?
Now, I can say that with my Spanish SIM the network is more or less "stable", no luck at all with the UK one...
Edit: Very weird... yes Spanish SIM card is working but when the phone is in standby I actually cannot recieve any call...

any other sugestions?

Not sure if you actually followed the previous poster's suggestion in the end (i.e. Googled it).
Quick google search on my end found O2 uses 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 2100MHz
Vodafone España uses 900MHz and 2100MHz, not sure if 1800MHz also.
Also not sure what you mean that you can't receive calls when its in stanby. Does this mean if the phone is active, you can receive calls?
If you have rooted the phone at all, revert it to stock and see if that helps.
Otherwise it may be that your phone doesn't have the 1800MHz band compatability (maybe due to where you bought it from etc).
I would go back to your carriers for help.

I actually did not understand your question... Of course I use google... all time. I have done everything i have read. But some times people just discovered something or maybe they know something i don´t know.
Anyway, won't bother you anymore.

The reply wasn't aimed at criticising /chastising you.
I posted over 12 hours after your last post so I didn't know if you had already googled the bands in the end, in which case posting the bands again would just be repeating information you knew already.

Where did you buy your HTC Desire? I think different regions have different versions of the desire.
If it helps, I had reception problems with my sim in Nepal when my WiFi was on. But I have used my Desire in Singapore, Australia with no problems.
