XDA 64MB 900/1800 - WM2003 4.00.11, Radio 4.21

All,
Recently upgrade to WM2003 Using Jeff's Kitchen - As reported by other posts, the Signal display is poor to erratic although actual reception seems good. Has anyone resolved this irritating issue by identifying a newer European RSU version or are we all waiting for the XDA II Radio versions update?. I tried the new WM2003 US versions to no avail as they seem to only poll the 1900 Network and GSM 900/1800 option in the Bootloader only hard resets the device. Hence a downgrade back to the 4.21.
Thanks - please advise
Al

I'm using ATT's Radiostack and wm2003 with my T-Mobile and having no problems. In fact, I've never had a clearer tone and no problems with reception. Granted the signal indicator is falty....
If I keep T-Mobile's stack however I get a lot of noise and chatter in the background. (USA, Michigan region)

Just upgraded to ATT's Radiostack from T-mobile 6.24, and noticed, that this radiostack do not show me provider name. I see only "home service" in this corner.
Any suggestions ?

K_Dima,
This is the reason why I downgraded to 4.21. The home service does not even have an Icon for GPRS availability - which is a tad annoying. Anyway the reason for the original post is the signal indicator problem with WM2003/RS 4.21 - The Indicator light flashes fine to say there is a signal but alas the signal indicator shows Zero bars.
Thanks
Al

T-mobile V6.24 is buggy radio stack!
it cannot display non-T-mobile network correctly.
I'm in Canada, every time I search or log on my local GSM network (Microcell-FIDO or Rogers). it tells my I'm on T-mobile network.
it is best to download (v6.18 or 6.08 ) or move to AT&T radio stack (A20) to resolve all problems

Go to phone setting, try to manual search network to see if you could find and display correct network. Although it is not matter.

QTEK 9000 loses signal / searching for network

hi guys, i have a QTEK 9000, and upgraded with the latest qtek rom (UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe), and not installed the extended rom.
i have a problem which i encountered before on other rom versions, and wasn't able to solve: the phone loses the network, and spends long periods searching for it. sometimes it finds it itself, sometimes i go into phone settings to do a manual search for all networks.
i have not installed any cab for network settings, as there isn't one on the roms i used so far, just pop in the sim, and select orange from the networks list.
i'm on ORANGE gprs (not 3g) in israel.
any suggestions?

Hi, I have the same problem, but only when it is going between gsm and 3g or back.... , newer roms is better but problem standing

i think i found a solution:
in phone settings, under "band" i chose "GSM" instead of "Auto", and since then (2 days) i had no signal loss.
of course, it remains to be seen if the problem won't come back once i change my subscription to 3G...
Ariel.

I had the same problem.
I reinstall the Radio 1.06
Now it's working fine.

T-Mobile UK and turning Uni GSM radio on/off

Hi
I have a problem with my Universal that is difficult to pin down so let me describe the symptoms and if anybody can suggest anything then I would be grateful. I think that these symptoms are restricted to the UK T-Mobile network.
WM6 (or WM5 T-Mobile UK latest release)
ROM version: 2.05.00 WWE
Radio: 1.18.00
Protocol: 42.54.P8
ExtROM: Empty
Bootloader: 1.01
These are the symptoms:
1) When the phone goes out of service, it will not pick up the GSM signal without several hard-reboots when back in an area with reception.(It is configured to pick up only GSM on 1800) When it does find reception, it works fine as a phone if I don't move
2) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, bluetooth stereo streaming to my headphones does not work properly - I hear maybe 1 s of sound and then sound cuts out.If I cick stop and play in the player then I hear another 1s of sound.(I use Settings/Connections/Bluetooth, not Comm Manager, to turn on BT)
3) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I cannot use the symbol at the top to see the phone status without the phone hanging completely
4) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I cannot use Start/Settings/Phone without the phone hanging completely
5) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I can access Start/Settings/System/Device Info _except_ for the hardware tab.
6) T-Mobile tell me that there are no blocks on my SIM, number or device
7) The phone works flawlessly with VF-UK and O2 (not tried 3) and picks up GSM reception immediately after coming back into an area with reception
I live in an area without T-Mobile signal so this is a real problem for me because I have to do several reboots each morning !!
Is there an application that tells me exactly what the GSM radio is doing and whether it has connected and then been forcibly disconected by the network ?
Is there an application that forcibly turns on and off the GSM radio without me using Settings / Radio or Comm Manager ?
All help welcome.
Peter

Hi,
I am not sure but It seems after upgrading your radio to 1.18.00 yr experiencing this prob.
Go to Setting>phone tab to Band on SELECT YOUR NETWORK TYPE put it on Auto from drop down list. restart your device.
If you still having prob then download again the Radio and install it because may be you have downloaded the radio is currupted

It's not the radio ROM that's the issue. Actually, 1.18 and WM6 seems to be the 'best' combination for finding the signal after a reboot. I've tried several radio ROMs (including the one released with the official T-Mobile updated WM5 ROM) and have the same issue with all of those.
Peter

Since upgrading to 1.18 I'm having problems that aren't solved when I revert to an earlier Radio ROM.
The main problem is it seems to be "UTMS or nothing", I used to use GSM only, but now when I switch to GSM only, my Universal does not display the little G symbol at the top, it shows some signal strength but then just has the no connection icon where the G should be (or where the U/3G is when not on GSM only).
Because of this, I cannot connect to the internet when on GSM only... it just keeps trying and trying with no success.
Any ideas?

time from the network

Sorry but I forgot it.
How to configure to get the time updated from the gsm network, instead of adjusting it local in the phone?
Thanks!

Telstra HD2 on AT&T 3G in US | Best ROM / Radio To Use

I am going to be using a Telstra HD2 in the US on AT&T's 3G network.
After SIM unlocking I am going to flash another ROM as I hear the stock Telstra ROM sucks on AT&T.
Anyone know what is the best ROM / Radio combination to use on the Telstra HD2 for best performance (phone & data) on AT&T 3G?
Thanks.

You do not need to sim unlock the phone. It is unlocked. And the Telstra radio works fine if you know how to set it up. You will need to use HSPL and flash a new rom on your phone. You could either use a signed WWE version from europe or southeast asia or a custom rom.
I have tried five radios on my phone. Did not test for battery length. But all 5 including the telstra radio gave me the same reception and speed.
I installed the 1.66 rom from southeast asia. But its your choice. I would spend some time reading before you do anything.

I'm using telstras hd2 with duttys latest rom. I also tried Miri's and Artemis. With Miri's for some reason I could only get 3g with entering additional bands in the registry. One or two bars of H. With Artemis I did not try the reg settings, but could not get any 3g as is. With duttys all I had to do was enable 3g and umts in the settings and got 3 BARS H right away. Speedtested 1011k with 2 bars.

I have a HD2 from telstra. I have flashed a WWE ROM and now the +UMTS 850 band has gone from band settings. What do I edit in the registry to get these bands back?
Cheers!

Radio 2.08?
Has anybody tried newest rario 2.08?

2.08 radio works fine...
Scooby, it doesn't matter, the hardware controls the bands.
