A Question to all GURUs regarding Radio ROMS

Dear All senior members of this forum,
i'm confused in understanding the areas taken care by updating the RADIO ROM of UNIVERSAL. can anyone just list down the benifits for updating a radio rom.
i want to make sure if one has to stay updated with the latest radio rom available of would the stock radio rom (Mine 1.09.00) stays fine forever.
looking forward,
farhaan rehmani

hi farehmani, I'm not a guru nor a senior member. But from what I understand.. updates radio ROMS are musch like the same as updated sortware. It has fixes for old problems like bad reception, low quality call audio... stuff like that.
But from what I've heard, the best radio for you also depends on your carrier/location... so just try all of 'em out. See which works best for you... you can easily change radio ROM versions anyway (no need to do hard reset, a soft reset is enough).

I would say, "if its aint broken, don't fix it"
Generally, the latest radio ROM gives you better reception, better sound quality. There are some people on this forum, who had problems with their device with respect to the latency of their devices in answering the calls. Most of them got it resolved by upgrading their device to the latest radio(ATM, the latest one is 1.15)
So, the bottomline is that if you facing problem(s) with your device regarding its phone part, the, you may consider upgrading the radio

thanx but i have another question...
Thanx for answering,
i asked this question cuz since i updated my pda with Jwrightmcps's ROM 2.02.00 WWE. i am unable to send MMS (there is no problem in settings) as it keeps the mms in the outbox with a pending sign of clock on it after uploading 95 or say 99%. secondly i was unable to sign in the MSN Live with this.
i used Radio 1.13.00. Could this be the problem. cuz i used 1.14.00 and 1.09.00 with previous versions of Win CE ROMS. they worked like a dream.
pls. advise.
farehmani.

the mms problem is not in the radio rom or Jw's rom. you just need to download the cab file with your operator settings and then you will be set.

I concur, it's not really the radio. It's either the WM6 ROM itself or you haven't got the correct settings.

i have read the wiki but still dont get it i can unrar jw newest rom just to get the radio only.but i have radio 15 from other source.how can i put it to my device?thanks

[Q] Enable Japan in FM Radio after Update

Hi,
has anaybody found a way to (re)enable the japanese frquencies after the Froyo update? Is is possible to enable the feature with a .apk from the eclair version?
Thanks in advance,
creutzwald1105

That's my problem, too! Have a fm radio apk from my eclair version, but cannot test it on froyo, because I'll update to froyo in a week.
Have you tested, yet?

Can you upload the .apk or give me the download link where you downloaded it? Then I could test it.

Downloaded the original app from a german forum, but I was not able to install it (my devie is NOT rooted)

That's not good Seems that we have to wait for some apps in app market...because fm radio is closed source and cannot be modified - so far i know. But maybe we have only to wait for some froyo fm radio apk's from japan/asia
If you read this and you have a fm radio on froyo with japan mode, pls answer to this thread or send me a message!
An official japan rom would be enough, it's easy to get the apk
Sent from my HTC Desire

any news here? Now whith Desire S-Off it should be more easy to change the apk.

is anybody on this topic?

this is my question too and how I can enable the radio for Wildfire...

still nothing...

still no news?

In most/all AOSP versions there is the FM Radio from the MIUI team included - there you can adjust all frequencies as needed!

[Q] Which radio is the best?

Hi!
Tried to search and search alot about this but no luck, so I'll just go ahead and ask..
I have a HTC DHD, flashed with CM10.1 4.2.2 (I think the radio is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M). Sometimes the cellular signal is just complete and utter bulls*it. Does that have something to do with the radio or is it just network related things?
Should I test some other radio, and if so, which one? I've read something about this and it looks like I shouldn't flash RIL at all, just the radio.
And finally, it would be nice if some made a general thread for radios, which would list let's say 3 to 5 newest radios for each device and compatible roms so noobs like me wouldn't have to ask this question again :angel:

Or you could use the search function to find other threads from noobs that have asked the same question :beer:
Sent from a dream.

Like I said, didn't find the info I wanted by searching the forums..
But here's some info for DHD users who are facing similar questions:
As told in the first post, I have CM 10.1 4.2.2 installed to my phone. The old radio was 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. I updated the radio to version 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M presented here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
Conclusion after first 24 hours:
+ Better battery life (+25% at the moment)
+ Better signal (both wlan and cellular)
+ Overall performance (No idea how the radio affects this, but the whole phone seems lag-free now)
- None so far
And as far as I can tell, you can update the radio to your phone, no matter where you're located (Operator specific phones may not work if tried). AND remember, if you have a CM installed, DON'T even try to install the RIL, just the radio.
I hope someone uses this information somewhere to provide forum users some answers

Xtrons PR98MTVL Update Android Firmware

Hi
I have an Xtrons PR98MTVL head unit which i would like to update the Android firmware.
Firstly I'm a total newbie to this but am a geek and have a good level of computer skills (if that actually helps at all these days!!??)
My questions are:
1. How do I find out what I currently have.
2. How do I found out what I can flash my head unit with.
3. How do I back up my existing firmware (god forbid I brick the damn thing!)
4. How do I flash the head unit with the firmware and enjoy all of the newer apps I currently cant access.
5. How do I make changes to the front screen layout or add a theme to the head unit?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Obvs if these questions have been asked and answered elsewhere (i did have a look but didnt find enough specific iunfo) then please just paste a link to that thread.

Open the settings of your device and open the software info.
There will be information like: Android version; MCU version and CPU info.
