Guys,
we need to have some sort of a poll for the best radio out there so that everyone can benefit from it.

just use the newest..
and the result of this will not be plain the "best" radio. also you don't know about different networks in different countries etc... i second my precessor, just use the newest as long as it doesn't make trouble.
I use the newest one, until i find a problem.
you won't find a problem with newer ones, since all radios as of yet are abysimal at best with 3G
Bluetooth now works well on 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
I am in the UK and did the update from HTC to fix the Sense speed etc.
Once I did this my Bluetooth stack was shot. Dropped all the time and would hang connecting to A2DP unless I did a reboot etc.
Not sure what the radio number was in that build.
I just got fed up and rooted my phone and flashed 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22.
Wow, now Bluetooth is working like a charm (only been 1 day but a world of difference).
3G and 2G seem the same as before for connection and signal etc.
Just thought I would let you all know my findings.

Russ

Currently,
I'm using the Radio version 1.04.20 on my Dopod 900 (HTC Universal). However, my reception is not too good and it usually takes some time for my phone to catch on with the network after a hard/soft reset.
Can anyone recommend which Radio version is the best so far, in terms of reception strength and stability?
Many thanks!
If you don't use Universal while driving, change to 1.08.00, otherwise stay as you are (this is my opinion).
1.08.00 seems to have some problems with the handover between GSM cells.
using 1.6 without any pb at the moment
1.08.00 gave me problems switching between WiFi and GPRS connections only remedied with soft resets, blah...I went back to 1.06.
I just upgraded to 1.06.00. There is less delay in connecting when I answer the phone.
I see. Many thanks.
So it seems that Radio 1.06.00 is the most stable then?
Another question, the updates for Radio version, are they all generic for all HTC Universal sets, or must I find one specifically customised for my Dopod 900?
Hi,
You should be able the flash the rom into your Dopod without any problem. I have an Exec and have flashed the radio rom (1.06) last week that come from T-mobile in Germany. Nothing to complain about it yet! Works great! Check out the below link. You will be able to download the radio from there and lots of FAQs in there.
Hope this will be useful for you!

Interestingly, I would say that I've noticed the opposite with regard to data - 1.06 seems to drop a data connection on the move, more than 1.08.

All,
I have recently upgrade to Xda Live v0.20 an has been working great since doing so...
I have never had any real problems with the device but latley calls have been hanging (Not able to end the call) call quality not all that good and calls cutting out....

I'm running the LVSW Edition of WM6. I have radio 1.34.00.10 and seems to run fine though not had the OS installed long.
Would like to try radio 1.35.00.11 but cannot seem to download from xda ftp. Can anyone point to another source for this radio rom?
Cheers

Is it stable?
I know there are so many questions but i a quite new to this sort of thing...

Are you trying this site for the ftp (Hermes Uploads)? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes.
Or this one ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/
Both started downloading ok for me.
Why do you want to upgrade from 1.34.00.10 to 1.35.00.11? From what I've read in some of the other threads the only benefit the 1.35 radio has is that it is GPS enabled - not much use because the Hermes is no good for GPS.
I've made the above statements from paraphrasing others because I haven't compared these radios and don't need GPS - so I'll be happy if others correct me.
Maybe a bit of reading (probably lots really ) could save you the time of an un-necessary upgrade - but probably finding the info will take longer than flashing the rom!!!
so your saying that there is no need to upgrade my rom....
There is benefit for me in doing so?
GPS

Excuse me, but the Hermes is gooed for GPS. The only thing is that our Hermes-gods are working on an antenna. The antenna is not (yet) connected to the 'GPS-chip'. GPS worls, but there is only a weak signal.

Thats fantastic to know... and i am reading the forums on this development
But for the time being just wondered if there was a radio rom out there that improved the issues that i am currently having....

1.27
1.27 is good
Hi, I've recently got myself a Topaz and when using my home wifi I get a very poor signal even when I'm right next to the router. I get about 1 or 2 bars. I've tried to change the performance to battery ratio setting with no luck. Any input on this matter will be much appriciated.
That is a radio problem.
Check current radio version, it should be 4.49.25.17 if you are running new official ROM with win6.5
all settings/device information
I'm actually still running win6.1.

No prob...
Take a look here, read it good and then flash one of the newest radios...
I'm reading the newest one drains battery and that the older version is better. Have you had any problems with the newest radio?

I use the newest and no probs. But it is depending of your operator, the place where you live, what connections you use most... and so on...
So, try, try and try... the latest ones...
Just updated the radio and its all working perfectly. I'm finally getting full bars on signal from my router. First time doing anything to my phone and it was quite easy with all your help. Thank you to everyone.
Hey guys,
Is there a way I could seamlessly update my radio to one that was made for the Magic? I'm currently using one that was done for Dream and I have lots of problems with it like radio will get into a state where I could not call/sms and the only fix to that is a reboot or airplane on/off.
I've heard other people complaining about this on the forums but don't know what is the conclusion. I know the latest Radio that Rogers' Magic got (famous post 911) has some "protection" in it that blocks rooting so that is why we have to use the Dream one...RADIO-3.22.26.17
Was just wondering if someone had a solution to that!
Thanks.
There is a radio switcher tool in the development section.
Worth noting though, is that switching radio will kill your ability to use the CM6 version that is fully functional.
So how is that going to help? Do you know of a better radio that I could try with my setup?

If you don't want to lose your data sign the waiver flash the "old" radio included with the radio switcher app and you still be ale to rock a fully functional CM6.
Make sure you're actually having problems with SMS and calls and it's not jsut a reception issue.
I'm running my HTC Magic with the Dream Radio and everything seems great to me.
But is the "old radio" included with the radio switcher app better than the one I have right now?
I'm tempted to sign that waiver and install the newest written exactly for my phone if it's possible (the one that I had before rooting my phone was OK but that would not work with a rooted phone I guess...the so called "post-911").
What I did last nigh was to re-flash just my radio again, maybe something went wrong last tine and I'll if I still get those states when my phone is saying it's connected to the GSM/3G carrier but no calling/sms would work - get's fixed with reboot or airplane mode on/off.
iv been searching around and cant seem to find which one is best, most of them cause my data connection to fail for a second or two when i connect to opera or is this another issue and not my radio,
any advice would be great

Try the Radio I'm using, it's working pretty well, reception is good, data connection is good, give it a go! But you should really test some out before posting a thread as every reply will be different, it's difficult to say which is the 'best'!
I recently upgraded my radio to 2.15.50.14. Since the upgrade I have noticed an increase in battery life++ and less switching between H/3g/2g. Data connections feel much quicker on HSDPA but this is purely anecdotal as I have no speedtest results to compare.
This is on T-mobile UK.
In my experience a Radio that works really well on one network/Country may not be the best choice on a different network/Country.
It doesn't cost anything to flash a Radio, so experiment away. Read the stickies in the ROMs forum to avoid "Bricking" your HD2.

Where about do you live? I'm about to try your Radio, to see how it goes
How did you get on radio-wise?
I am on tmobile in the uk.
On recent radios ( not tried every single one of course) I get my signal dropping down to 4 dots where I know I get good signal. I just flashed one of the 2.10.x radios and its definitely dropping down to4 dots alot less but still not how it used to be. I will try others in the morning.
I was wondering if there is a definitive list of the best radio depending on which provider you're with?
Thanks.
Yans.
HD2 - Best radio for UK Tmobile
I know it's been asked a thousand times before, but does anybody have actual experiences on the HD2 with Android running of SD, and being on Tmobile?
I must agree, 2.12.50.02.2 does work amazingly. I tested a lot before agreeing to this one. And android seems to connect straight away with it installed. I had 2.08, 2.09 & 2.10 before & had to constantly switch my network connections from WCDMA/GSM (HSPA/3G/GSM) to WCDMA only (HSPA/3G) and back again while running android. However, 2.12 never had the problem.
best radio for hd2 & UK Tmobile
I think I have to agree. I have tried lots of them, but am going back to 2.10 and 2.12, and out of the two, 2.12 seems the better. I also had to contstantly turn my hsdap on and off and on again to get connections as it dropped often. What kind of donwload speeds do you average?
