hey,
According to System info, mine radio is: AL1_KLNC2340_080121_RS001
I have rather poor GSM singnal(i'm not using 3G), so i thought maybe there is any better radio rom, that solve my problem?
Thanks
PS: I'm sorry for my bad english, it's not my native tongue. Hope you understand me

Hey guys, like all you other fellow wizard users im always craving better reception and call quality. Now i have seen the mod that you can do with the silver foil to get better reception but its a little to blue peter for me just yet lol. I was wondering does anyone have any particualr rom that gives better reception or call quality. I'm currently using molski's ROM which is excellent and uses the 2.25.11 radio version. I have heard that the US t-mobile version is supposed to be great at improving both these areas is this true? has anyone maybe cooked up a ROM based on some of the parts of it? For the answer to these questions and more tune into to the next post
Cheers
radio Cingular 2.25 is the best!

I switched from the Tmob 2.25.11 to the Cingular 2.25.11 and improved reception between 1/4th - 1/3rd, and greatly improved reception indoors & big buildings and such.
they are supposed to be the same radio rom, but I read a post by a cat who claims that they are not digitally identical, what exactly that proves im not sure but I saw a difference, and there are many posts from others who report the same...
bhang
ah right you see this would be great! Did you swap by flashing the whole ROM or did you just flash the radio ROM (if thats even possible). I would also be interested to hear from anyone in the UK who is using the cingular ROM as much like everyone else I want better reception lol!
Hi all,
First, apologies for posting a thread about something that gets asked an awful lot. However, I've never seen a definitive answer.
Which is the best radio version for phone (GSM/GPRS) signal strength? I'm currently using 1.09, and a while ago tried (IIRC) 1.12 but found it gave me a worse signal. I was wondering if any of the newer radio stacks were better, and, regarding the WM6 ones, whether I would need to do a complete reflash to use them or if I could keep my WM5 rom.
If it makes any difference, I'm on Orange in the UK.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer - hence the debates. There seems to be very great variability across locations and carriers. I won't refer you to all the threads where people have come up with different results because there are so many!
Sometimes even people on the same carrier seem to get different results (eg I am on U2 in the UK and find 1.14.1 / 1.09 the best whereas others on O2 UK found 1.13 the best). There may also be a difference between G3 and G4 handsets (although I'm not sure if anyone has looked into that in any way).
The answer is probably that you will have to try them and see what happens. IMHO there is usually a trade-off in signal strength, reliability (eg with direct push) etc - for example on 1.14.1 I get the best reception but under 2.01.08 WWE I occasionally had problems with Direct Push (which I don't use very often). I have less reception on 1.09 but more stability with DP.
Hope that helps at least a little!
I think 1.13 is the best

Yes I agree. Just downgraded from 1.14. Results are encouraging....no hangups.
I was reading that these can up the performance of the phone, speed, battery life etc..
my question is this: can certain roms boost signal power?
im sorry im newb, please be easy
to clarify: im on radio version 2.08.50.08_2
can anyone confirm if there is a better radio version out there?
so no one here bought a US tmobile Hd2 and changed the radio rom to see an improvement?
am i that newb that no one can even reply?
ive been trying to figure this out for myself but its all foreign people from other countries and im not sure if that applies to my us tmobile hd2....
I think the sticky radio thread is the place to look, read and ask questions!
Hi, i have a HD2 unlucked using it with AT&T US. the signal is quite bad, i dont have 3g at all, ive realised the bands dont match up but is there any way to increase signal strength or something. The signal is ridiculous at times where i have no signal at all in my house.
try different radio

Unless you bought a T9193 (look below the battery cover, is there a "Next G" or "T"?), you won't get 3G.
You might have luck playing with different radios to see if you get better coverage. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977 for more info. If you have a TMobile HD2, then you might want to check the other HD2 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
If you have any questions, read up on the Q&A forum either way.
thats why I was asking about best/latest Radio Version for AT&T. Is your Radio Version the same as mine, identified in earlier post about AT&T Radio Version?
I have at&t (but I am using a t9193), I am having good results battery & signal w/ radio 2.12.50.02_2 (link in my sig)
what exactly do i do with these radio roms?
sorry im new to this whole thing and dont know alot. thanks

HSPL from here
grab a radio file from here
follow the steps here
Non-U.S. HD2 are not compatible with TMOUS 3G regardless of the radio Rom being used. A more current ROM may provide a better basic 2G/GPRS signal.
I bougt T-Mobile HD2 two weeks ago
I have 2 sim cards and I use the primary sim in a Nokia N70
then I decided to switch to my new HD2
then I noticed the crappy signal and that it drops inside my house
while my other sim card from the same carrier working flawlessly on my nokias N70 & 1110 ??
so I tried to Google for a solution and some forums suggested that I flash a new radio....
I know how to flash a radio but I dont know which radio fixes the poor reception problems
so I asking for your experience in this great forum to guide me through this dilemma..
thanks in advance
TMOUS HD2 , using Froyo 2.2 with stock TMOUS Radio: 2.15.50.14
Im afraid its all trial and error, If I were you I'd try the newest one and work backwards....
You'll need to give it a day or two to settle in before you make a decision on if its better or not though.....
Edit
Just noticed you have the newest radio so you might be better starting from 2.08.50 and going up the way...... its pot luck really though.
And seeing as you have a TMOUS I cant help but feel obliged to remind you NEVER to flash a radio with .51. in the name........
2.12.50_02 gives me an excellent reception as well as battery life.
thank you very much
I'll be trying 2.10 and 2.12
and see what happens
I surly hope I wont brick my phone....
