Ok, I just picked up this phone and am having major problems with the Radio reception.
Peoples phone calls either go straight into my voicemail, or I receive the call put reception is broken, I can hear a word or two every few seconds, and the other person cannot hear anything.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, anyone using this phone in Canada or on Rogers can advise which radio rom to use? I have flashed at least 6 already, even the Murata one and still no success... any help or suggestions would be great.
Just flashed the original back WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe and its a tiny bit better, where it doesnt go straight to voice mail, but reception is horrid still, inaudible.
try flashing radio 1.59.44.02... then hard reset see if that helps
Hi Lokosis,
Your signature does not give an idea of which ROM you are using. However how's the reception on your other phone (elfin)? Are you using it on the same network? Since you have already used 1.59.44.02; try going back to 1.60 ROM and a Murata Radio.
Hi 02xda2, well I'm using the PDAVIET Rom, which is 3.18.457.46, which I thought I had in my signature. The reception on my Elfin is 100% and have never had a problem, but when using the same sim card in the Polaris I'm having those major issues. The Polaris is CID/SIM unlocked already using Oli's HardSPL. I'll try flashing the 1.60 right now with the Murata and reply with results.

That's actually the first Radio I had installed, and had no luck at all with it.
UPDATE #1: Just tried the with PDAVIET V30 CE OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0) along with the Murata 1.58.21.23 Radio, same problems as mentioned before. I'm also going through Settings>Phone>Band and changing it to GSM, but still the problems remain.. any suggestions?
UPDATE #2: I'v flashed the RUU_Polaris_HTC_RUS_1.25.411.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_polaris_murata_Ship.exe rom as suggested in another thread, and managed to get perfect sound received, and decent sent. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I managed to get the RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe which is the WWE counterpart to the RUS version, tried it with the stock Radio and no luck, flashed the Murato Radio onto the WWE and it was back to horrible.
UPDATE #3: So the only solution right now is the RUS rom, but I can't function with that as I don't read Russian. So running the HTC RUS update with radio, then flashing a new WWE rom without radio on top will work. Also atl4ntys's suggestions (below) most likely is worthy of a shot as well .
This phone being a bit aged and maybe out of warranty, how is HTC with their warranties/repairs?
hey Lokosis, have u tried c_shekhar's rom? its extremely stable, its wwe and also includes radio. u find the link in my signature. if the radio that comes with it doesn't do the job 4u then upgrade to the latest 1.58 available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479306
If still bad signal then the only thing I can say is to falsh the original spl rom and radio and send it in for repair.
PS: Make sure u flash without the micro sd card in it and hard reset as soon as u see the config screen after u flash. good luck!

Hi all,
I currently have the HTC Tytn with the original ROM on it. I'm on Cingular's network, and am having the problem where the call either gets dropped completely or temporarily when the phone tries to "hand off" 3G to 2G. Are any of the radio-only upgrades that are on the ftp supposed to address this issue? I'm not looking to change the ROM. I'm currently on radio verion 1.03
Thanks in advance!

I have a TyTn on Cingular as well. I upgraded to 1.20 radio ROM and haven't experienced any problems you're having moving to/from 3G areas.
Hi sf,
Thanks for the reply... are you also still on the original Tytn ROM as well? (for everything else but the radio...)
yes, i'm on the original HTC ROM, just upgraded the radio.
The best combination is the original HTC ROM + 1.16 RadioROM from what I have heard around ..
Great, thanks a ton guys. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm having much better battery performance with the HTC ROM and the 1.20 radio than I did with the 1.16 radio.
Goesto11, did you have any installation problems during or after the install with the 1.20 radio? I read a couple other posts where some additional tweaks needed to be made afterwards, but I'm thinking now that that was with the Cingular ROM.
Thanks,
SP
1.20 Radio was actually from the latest iMate ROM from what I remember .. might want to verify ..
latest Cingular RadioROM was 1.16 ..
Thanks GJ.

Nope, no installation problems at all (follow the directions and you should be fine).

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded, but I haven't driven through any of the troubled areas yet. I guess we'll see on the drive home.
I'll install it today and report on it asap. A particular area that I go through on the way home from work attempts the hand off a good 80% of the time.
Oh yeah, one more (stupid) question...
If I install the 1.20 radio, then later end up doing a hard reset... after the hard-reset, will I end up with the original HTC radio, or the updated one?
Good question .. You will then always have an updated RadioROM .. even after a hard reset
Ok cool, thanks. I'm glad it was a relatively not-too-stupid question

Yeah, I did this yesterday. Your updated Radio ROM sticks with the device.
But what about installing an entirely new ROM; this overwrites the radio ROM right?

Yes, this is correct. A "normal/standard" ROM update will overwrite the System ROM, the Extended ROM, and the Radio ROM.
I can't seem to dowload a good file to unzip. It says "not a valid pocketpc app".
The ROM updates need to be run from a WinXP PC with an ActiveSync/USB connection to the Hermes...
and remember, Flashing can be a dangerous business, even if you know what you're doing... use at your own risk!
Hello, yesterday I finally flashed my ROM after a long wait and a lot of frustrations with the old, standard, ROM. But now I have a problem with it...
I can't call or being called if i have a 3G connection! If I sellect GSM in network type instead of Auto, then calling is no problem anymore.
But this mean that I lost the high speed internet...
Did I do something wrong?!
I have upgraded to WM 6.1 by Bepe and Radio 1.64.08.21. I also tried out Radio 1.58.21.23. But that didn't changed anything.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Fabian, you can try the Murata Radio version.
I have the same problem. I tried Murta Radio and all other available Radio ROMs with no help. Also I tried to go back to Original ROM but still the problem exist. Any help?
Send back to assistence!
I tried all kinds of radio but no luck! Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391741 After restoring original rom and radio I send to HTC for repair and after ten days my polaris come back full working. After two days another time this problem on 3g H band! This time an hard reset worked to restore 3g-H functionality.
Now my polaris have radio 1.58.25.28 and p 25.69.30.05H and d 1.40.00.00. Reflecting well on the situation that create the problem I remember before the two crashes I used gps skinner. I think if you have used same soft or another soft gps related, the gps or the soft could be the guilty! Sorry for my english...
is 1.58.25.28 the newest official radio rom for cruise?
thx
Radio
I don't know if it's teh newest, I know only that in the radio thread I don't see it.
Ciao
would you be able to upload it online?
thx
I have extracted the official Polaris Radio_1.59.42.15 from RUU_Polaris_O2_DE_3.13.207.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.0 7_1.59.42.15_Ship
I have tested flashing also. It works. Now I have to see if Radio Rom works fine. Please let me know if the radio is good.
I have 1 bar more now inside the house, than with Murata_1.58.25.14.
I wil not reset your OS. Here is the link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144798045/Radio_1.59.42.15.zip.html
I have tested camera too. I have same problem. Camera don't work. I flashed back to Radio 1.58.25.14 Murata. Now camera works again. So it must be a problem in the Radio_1.59.42.15. I am sorry for that. The extraction of radio rom from RUU_Polaris_O2_DE_3.13.207.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.0 7_1.59.42.15_Ship worked, but the rom it is not a good rom. Thank you all for testing it also.
um... i wouldn't mind testing it if you shared a link
udk the lastest rom include the radio.3-4 bar.it isnt look bad
I had before the R 1.58.25.14 Murata, I have not noticed much difference, but this is going very well compared to others.
Cheers
Can I use this Radio with WM6.0 or do I have to Upgrade to WM6.1
Do I have to run HardSPL before upgrade (I have an non-branded free Device from HTC directly)
thanks
rgr
I have WM6.0 and it works and yes you have to hard SPL first.
Yes but..
does the camera still work ?
camera not working.
Same problem => I have to revert back to 1.58.25.14
At the moment, camera on radio 1.59.42.15 only works with UDK's SyriusRO Project ROM, Phamquang's V31 ROM, German O2 Upgrade ROM, Spanish and SFR Upgrade ROM.
Compared to Murata Radio's, it does have a better reception, faster Satnav Fix and longer battery life.
i love this radio, no battery drainage, fast gps fix, very good hsdpa reception, since my polaris went to htc repair center hsdpa didnt work anymore because they flashed radio 1.58.25.14 on it, now with this radio, everything works again, even faster and better !
Camera and calls problem
I installed this Radio along with Original Polaris ROM, SEA 1.28.457.2 WWE. I encountered camera issues with this. Basically black screen on the viewfinder. And when i make a call, i get a "hanging" dial tone like "truuuuuuuuuu".
Anyone have this problem or any advise please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2635152&postcount=10
Either you use the mentioned ROM's or revert you radio ROM back to the previous one you had prior to upgrading.
Thanks for the info. I missed the post that this radio only support certain versions of ROMS. Too bad for me... I need MMS on a frequent basis so, I guess I'll revert till HTC provides a stupid upgrade!!! Grr!!!

Uff. Work's perfect. i was afraid, that i killed my HTC.
Many thx...!!!
I have just got a polaris PDA having owned previous versions many for many years. i have incredibly poor reception on the phone indoors. to the point it cannot connect to the network at all.
if I go out side everyting is fine. I have tried other Sim cards with no success and other phones in the house are fine so not reception issues.
Reading through the forums I have seen talk about Radio Version 1.58.21.23 which is supposed to be really good for phones with this issue.
Here's the problem - i have ROM 3.13.206.0 WWE which I believe will only take 1.59.*.* Radio's.
how can I revert back to a previous Rom/driver set so that i can use this 1.58 radio?
will it do me any good or is there something else i can try, i have already been right up to Radio 1.65.30.09 from the forum.
any ideas?
thanks
you could install a cooked rom that uses 1.58 radio.
both of the shekhar roms use 1.58 radio and the radio is included in the download. you'll find them on the first page of the forum.
if you want to stick with original rom, then take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600 where there are a list of the original roms available.
if you've never flashed a cooked rom before or aren't sure how to go about it, the same post contains all the information you need.
Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks
If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?
I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks
Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance
My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1
I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks
Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.
Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks
I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks
