Poor signal quality with Tmobile

I just got a second hand HTC Hermes locally here in the US. My signal bar is always bouncing between 1 and 3 in areas that are very strong. It is at ZERO bars in my house. I still have my XDA II and the signal is FULL in strong areas and 2 to 3 in my house. Is the Hermes normally not as good with signal strength compares to my XDA II ? Or is there something wrong with the Hermes since I got it used? Thanks.

Try using a different radio. Works better for me in areas my MDA got weak signals.

I was using the original ROM with radio 1.03.03.10 when I bought the phone. I just upgrade to ROM 2.11.255.1 with radio 1.38.00.10 . It didn't help my situation at all. What radio version is everyone using?

I have a genuine htc Hermes, live in Kentucky with T-Mobile service. I get a fantastic connection to the network - four bars inside my house and it can't get better outside. It does sometimes go down to 2 bars in areas with limited coverage, but predominately I have a great connection.
Radio version is 1.34.00.10. ROM is 1.21.116.4.
Hope that helps you.

[Q] UK Radio

Hi all
I'm currently using the Radio Version 2.10.50.28_2
I'm haven't had any problems with it whatsoever, but I was wondering if that is the best radio in terms of signal quality available for my location
I'm in London and my operator is o2 and do get pretty decent signal, but of course if there is a better radio suited for these conditions I'd like to have it
So is 2.10.50.28_2 the one I should continue to use or should I be using a different one?

RAdio
I am ORINGE customer using AxLor V 10 the same radio and everything is really PERFECT ! ! ! London area too ! ! 3G everywhere

Have to admit the 3G network is pretty decent, getting HSDPA as well =]
Guess I am on the best Radio

Radio's are always subjective. I personally find the best radio for EU roms to be 2.09.51.03_2. Brilliant call quality and decent signal. Looking at you're signature rom, you appear to be on a Tmous rom so in order to see that extra ram you'll need to stick to 2.**.50 radio's.

i am on vodafone uk and in a constant GPRS signal area. only time i get 3G+ is when i visit my girlfriend in lincoln then its constant.
my radio is 2.10.50.19_2. I use the Artimis V14 so the extra is not enabled tho i have tried other version 2.10 radios and get worse battery life.
With this one my phone is good for 1.5 days use. and thats with normal usage, net, text, calls to mrs etc.
i did condition the battery mind.

poor reception with mytouch 1.2

I was wondering if this was an issue with any roms or hardware. I have had my mytouch 1.2 since march and have noticed poor signal in areas that i should have 3g based off the coverage map (ex. at my tmobile store i should have 3g and periodically edge but I teeter between edge, gsm and no signal) Im not sure if it is a sim card issue or a phone issue. basically im just looking for some advice to resolve this.
thanks in advance

[Q] Best EU Reception Android Compatible Radio?

Basically I use android on a daily basis with my HD2, I use Mattc V1.7, however I'm having to use the 2.12 radio due to Sleep of Death Issues with 2.10 and 2.11, the problem with 2.12 is that it has very poor reception on O2-UK compared to 2.10! 2.10 has great reception everywhere and with 2.12 I have no signal what so ever inside my collage!
Does anyone know what the best radio for reception on an EU UK Factory Unlocked HTC HD2 is, which also has no Sleep of Death issues under android? It's really annoying having to go stand by a window at collage to get coverage when my friend next to me with an old samsung has good reception on the same network and even my tutor who has an iPhone 3GS!
Please Help!

HD2 Signal Strength Vs Xperia X10i

Hi,
I have been using my HD2 for more than a year and i ABSOLUTELY in Love with it.
Recently i moved to a new area where the Signal strength is not that great but existent.
I even changed my provider for better reception but HD2 just fails to catch any signal. Its fine when im in the middle of the city.
I tried the same Simcard in x10i and Perfect reception, A blackberry Bold and again No Signal Loss. Even in Iphone 4.
That really hurt my Pride
Been searching around threads. I know its all associated with the RADIO. I have tried almost every radio available. Still No luck.
Currently running Hyperdroid android Rom with 2.15 Radio.
Any suggestions? Should i Try those Signal booster stickers?

The contact points at bottom of phone may not be making proper contact with antenna.

but how do we determine the antenna contact loose or not ?
