Recommend Radio for HK

I have just upgraded the radio to 1.64.08.21 and I'm getting incredibly poor reception. In addition I seem to be unable to connect to 3G network (Smartone-vodafone). Unfortunately I forgot to write down my default radio rom version. If anyone has a OEM Cruise, please let me know the radio version or if someone can recommend me a version. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Too bad my friend, now even if you try to revert your Radio back to the factory you will continue to receive the same poor reception.
I have changed three devices doing this, learn't my experience the hard way. Read my Thread here.

I hope Jibreil is mistaken on his point for your sake, but he seems pretty sure. I have a new Cruise and the stock radio version is 1.58.21.23. Good luck...

Just flash the original ROM and after flashing, Hard Reset before setting up your device and you'll get back your original radio and reception quality.

Thanks for the replies, I'll try out your suggestion regarding the stock ROM and let you guys know!

EDIT: I'm quite surprised that your factory radio is a lower version than my factory radio.

Unfortunately, flashing to the shipped WWE ROM and performing a hard reset did not work. This was not my original shipped ROM, but I am unable to find a working HK CHT Cruise ROM, maybe someone could point me in the right direction?

I have no problem in using 1.64.08.21 both in HK & Mainland China. Reception is as good as the original shipped 21.23 version.

Radio Roms for Polaris

Which Radio can I actually use with my Polaris, without (too many) problems.

I´m using v.1.64.08.21 long time and without problems... GPS is fast, internet connection and calls without problems, compatible with many WM 6.1 ROMs (Bepe, swtos, udk...)

Any of the murata Radio ROMs

1.58.25.14 Murata or 1.64.08.21
That's the question ...

1.58.25.14 Murata

Original HTC 1.64.08.21

i'm using 1.64.08.21 also and i'm satisfied with the reception and battery life, so ... recommended

I have been using 1.64.08.21 for some time and had no problems with it.
These days, i had to turn back to the original WWE and it came with the default radio 1.58.21.23.
After coming back to UDK's R5, i made some tests to compare these 2 radios.
I compared 2g and 3g signal, 2g and 3g consumption, and standby consuption.
For my surprise, all the values were 99 % the same.
The only difference (witch i noticed the first time i swithed radios) was the sattelite aquiring time, witch is lower on the newer radio(from 25-30 sec to 10-15 sec).
So if you don't use gps, there is no reason to switch to newer radios, because there is the chance that your device will not work with the 1.64.08.21 radio, and you will have to switch to murata.

Ok, I installed the 1.64.08.21 on Udk's r5 ... and I don t get a Connection to my net.. (gsm)

as i said, there are some devices that have different hardware.
On these devices, the latest radio doesn't work as it should.
I think you have to upgrade to murata radio
but before you do, you can try a few things: change network band, reset, manually connect to the network ...

I tried anything what you said... nothing... then "murata".. and...
and...
and...
full network...

I also tried 1.64.08.21 and some of the earlier ones - they never worked wven after trying Manual settings then I had to revert back to Murata Radio.
does this mean we have an older version of the machine ? That's not fair !!

i don't think it's a matter of new or old version, just the hardware it has.

Polaris Radio_1.59.42.15 extracted.

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?

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!!!

Problem after installing radio 1.59.46.12

I have installed this radio and now under command manager I can't activate wi-fi since the button is now greyish. Actually the wi-fi works if activated from setting but it's still annoying. Is there a way to fix it or is just a radio issue?
Rom: Kostas244_ROM3g_23016_FINAL_B1

First say hello for your first post and give us more detail about your configuration.
SPL ? ROM ? old radio ? version ?

Oh, sorry about that. I registered some month ago so I though I had alredy made some post here...Let's start all over again
Hi everyone this is my first post here and I need some help.
I just upgraded my Polaris from 3LIT3 VI (Windows 6.1) to Kostas244_ROM3g_23016_FINAL_B1 (Windows 6.5). Everything was working fine until this morning when I upgraded my radio from 1.65.30.09, that was included in my old ROM, to 1.59.46.12.
The problem is that I can't activate wi-fi from the command manager anymore because its button is now disable but if I use the connection settings to activate it everything works.
Any idea to fix this issue?

Known problem, which might sometimes occur. Try to Hardreset
once or twice and most likely the Wifi button will be available
again as sudden as it greyed out. Once it's working it will
stay working.
Olioaglio

Thank you!
After one hard reset I got back the wi-fi button. Anyway I think a sticky thread about radios with their problem and feature would be great .

What is the diffence between these two radios 1.59.42.15 (my current) and 1.59.46.12? I read that 1.59.46.12 was newer but is it recommended to upgrade? Are there any benefits to signal strength or the like?

You can upgrade and see for yourself what radio version is best for you and your location....From 1.59.46.12 you can downgrade easily to your previous radio if it's not good for you.

In this case the person had locked HTC Polaris and he couldn't do unlock
Also it was figured out that to do downgrade is possible by flashing a specific radio version. But this is not so scary.
I want to extract only radio ROM, flashing him and check the quality of work in the 3G network and GPS, whether it is better or worse than 1.65.30.09 on the divices that are already unlocked...

Did you flash the OS PTB entirely or only radio rom?
What quality of 3G / GSM / GPS ?

whole
3g,gps,gsm quality high

Hi All
The 3rd day of a hard work including the 3G-network and so far everything is okay.
HTC Cruise became SIGNIFICANTLY economic with this radio.
In the navigation mode iGO8.3.4.142975 while using the phone (incoming and outcoming calls),
the internet and without putting it on the charger, HTC Cruise works about 3-4 hours
(comparing to 1-2 hours of radio 1.65.30.09).

is it on pola100 or pola200?

On both.
Difference between POLA 100 and POLA 200 is in little not important technical detail.
Pola100 is HTC Polaris
Pola200 is o2 XDA Orbit II.
You can flash ROMs made for the Cruise (pola 100) with no problems.

not so good..speaker ouput not so good. alot of noise. reverting back to .65.30.

Worked in 2G or 3G network?
You did hard reset after flashig new radio ROM?
It's strogly recommended to do!!
Most peoples reported good work in 3G and 2G network, without serious troubles.
And same significant saving battery power.

For me everything is working perfectly, signal is good. Flashed it with custom RUU over pcar extreme rom, without hard reset. I need time to see if battery life is better. Thanks for posting this radio!

Ok, but, for best results recommended make hard reset _after flashing radio ROM_1.65.38.14.
Especially if the previous version of the radio was 1.58, 1.59, 1,64.
Many times in this convinced.

i am using salvy's rom. hard reset. look the speaker volume back to normal again. thanks

Hi,
I have used this radio for the past few days. The battery life it seems is much lesser than 1.59.46.12 that I was using. It drains if you use WI-FI or GPS. Can anyone suggest radios which have proven battery life enhancement.
Regards,
Prem

Hey guys ,
I reepacked the updater for the latest radio 1.65.38.14 (for me it seemed not to enter bootloader and crashed when i used the files attached before )
So now it is working properly !!! with good results ...
I also recomand the Megan ROM(salvy's rom) -- with the proper flashing procedure it is the fastest wm 6.5 i have seen yet (and not weird looking)!!!

Good work Rocket. The updated radio worked fine for me. Was facing the same issue.
Thanks guys both for original and update
