A Radio description for the non-technically minded
The radio is the bit that sends and receives the signals to make the phone part of the device work. A poor radio and you might get poor signals received or transmitted. Hence some folks think that upgrading the radio will improve phone reception or that certain phone bands will be handled better by certain radio roms. Upgrading is not a novice activity. (So it does not mean the device has a radio to listen to radio stations!! - though come to think of it you can stream radio stations over the net using the radio, but you get what I mean).

Good Radio Rom for NYC area?

Hi, does anyone know of a good radio Rom in the NYC area?
good reception/battery?
Thanks

Personally ive used the 2.19.11 radio and didnt have any problems with missed calls or anything like that. I had also used the 2.71 (or something like that) but was facing the missed calls problem so went back to the 2.19 radio

2.19 is no good for me. it takes too long to pick up a signal.
I use Tmo btw.
Thanks

Well i was also on the Tmobile network and ive never noticed that problem so cant help you there. Only thing i can advise is just go by trial and error, there are different versions of the radio besides 2.19.11 try them out and see which ones the best for you ( try the 2.71 version some people say they had good results with it but like i said b4 i unfortunatly had the missed call problem)

stuck on splash screen.. format failed
my bad.. pls ignore this..

[Q] Can't activate Wifi.

Hi,
It make some week i had problem to activate wifi on my HD. On comunication manager, it try some second to activate it, but at the end it still desactivated.
I try to flash rom (some french rom, some english rom, wm6.5, wm6.1...). I try also a lot of radio rom (1.14,1.13,1.12,1.09) and hard reset, but it still doesn't work.
I installed Wifi Monster wich tell me that no Compatible Wifi adapter is found when it try to launch wifi.
If i find no solution i can try to send it to waranty (which mean i'll need to put off all cooked stuff..), but as i go to travel next week, i'd like to find a solution for don't have to use expensive data connexion.
Is someone have one brillant idea ?
Thx

Have you tried using wm wifi router or HTC wifi router?
I've moved your thread to general discussion as its not related to rom development

Hi,
thank for your answer.
I try both solution without result. On wm wifi routeur, on first startup, it said wifi was not found and ask me to select an interface. I had choice between TNETTW12511 and WWAN1. I try both, but don't work. I start connection sharing but don't see asociated acces point. (wifi stat is at 0db).
Same problem with the other softs...

no other idea ?
I use SD card flash method with olinex SPL 1.56. Is it possible the problem come to that ?

Sounds like the wifi chip is dead - lots of people have reported the same thing happening, and the only option is to send it back to HTC for a repair. We had it happen to one of ours - never found out what caused it, but the camera died at the same time.
The people who've had repairs and looked inside say the boards have been replaced, so it's not just a flashing/firmware issue. Some suggest the design is bad and the antennas are just too close to the chipset, but of course HTC won't comment on that idea.

Too bad.
I'll send it to htc when i came back and i'll use data til that, but it will cost a lot ...
BTW, thx for yours help !

Enabling GPS on US Cellular Question

Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice

No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.

You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

That guide should help you out. I have some more info here that you may find useful as well.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..

Not sure if I can offer a lot of help here but just to be sure you have checked all of your settings haven't you? Did you you flash the ROM to the phone or was it on the phone when you got the phone?

AsFor your question yes the radio does control WiFi and Bluetooth and maybe a different radio version would help you out. But be aware if you have a T-Mobile HD2 you can not flash a 2.04.50.zz, 2.05.50.XDA, or any x.xx.51.xx radio to they will brick a TMOUS HD2. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to download different radio versions. Here is a link to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Also you can try doing a hard reset of the HD2 by holding down the volume up and down button while powering on your HD2 and it will bring cupcake stern with instructions on it. Just follow the instructions on the screencto reset the HD2. Make sure to use Microsoft My Phone or a equivalent app to back up you personal info before you hard reset your HD2.

sounds to me like a hardware problem. this is because (i think) the hd2 uses the same antenna and/or chipset for bluetooth+wifi. i remember reading some threads in which people posted the exact same symptoms as the OP and the problem turned out to be some loose/broken antenna wire inside the device.
