Whats the reception like? - HD2 General

Does the HD2 have good reception? Does anyone have the HD2 who used to have the Xperia X1? Could you compare the reception?
The X1 has notoriously bad reception!

I think its all relative to the signal you get from your provider and what Radio version you have flashed. It should be ok, haven't heard of any complaints so far.

it's slightly poorer than my HD flashed with the X1 1.16 radio, but better than the HD flashed with stock radio

I find it about the same as the HD but definitely better than the G1 or the Hero

That would be nice
great, where can I grap it?
it's from the original china mobile P860, but i'm worried about the rip of 3G, because there is no 3G in China right now.
by the way, how to dump the radio existed in a phone, and write it back.

hi, dumping the OS means you dump the whole ROM. you can do that, and i'll help you to extract the radio out.
BTW, China has run 3G for quite a few years now. As a matter of fact, they've been testing the world's first 4G there!

I have this radio and think it's garbage. Half the time I have no signal at all and the other half only one or two bars.
1.28.405.1WWE
1.58.27.27
25.71.30.05W
Any idea for an upgrade?

Did you flash any other ROM/Radio before? A lot of people have this issue, try out the Murata Radio, maybe it helps you... you can find it in one of the two Poll Threads.

No, the phone had the current Bepe ROM in it when I bought it. The store flashed it. Will check the Murata radio as you suggest. Thanks!

k, then I guess, the previous owner flashed it and noticed the signal reception was low and so he sold it =) chances are high that you will get the original reception strength back

hi,
just a fact i want to share. early this year o2 delayed shipping of the cruise because of radio issues. my O2-TC is performing great all the radio related tasks. So do not touch your radio.
touch the rest of your TC.
Over.

No, not quite. The phone was for the HK market, had Wifi installed in the ROM, but I wanted one with an English language ROM, but with support for traditional Chinese. The store I bought it from brand new in Shanghai flashed it with Bepe's ROM.
Confused yet?
The store says the reception is dodgy because China only has 2.5G coverage and I should switch to 2G mode while in-country. I think I would like to try another radio ROM if the success rate is high.

It doesn't even drain the battery faster.
I use 2.12 cause 2.14 had a lot of battery drain with my Rom and android build combo. I didn't notice any great reception improvements either. Try it and see what works for you,

My 3G data connection stability improved with 2.14
with 2.10 I have to reset 7+ times a day (switch to airplane mode)
Now less than 3 times a day with moderate usage
sent from my HD2 with XDA app
2.15!!!!!!!!!! slightly better than 2.14 better voice, signal is stronger and more reliable, and better battery life!!!! search for 2.15!!!!! data disconnects are about maybe 2 or 3 times
Thanks Guys.
2.14 it is then.
Regards
Mark.
I hated 2.15.5 because of the battery drain. I get good reception with all the radios but for my money 2.12.5 has the best battery life.
I am a newbie to all this stuff.
How do I check what radio I have?
And If I have to upgrade is there a guide for it ?
Thanks

When you first turn on your phone, you will notice 3 lines of red text. One starts with an R: and next to that is your radio number. Alternatively in WinMo you can find it in the settings at the bottom in the software info!

If you haven't upgraded your radio it'd be a good idea. Better reception and battery life. And yea you could jus read the thread about flashing your first Rom. Or search the forums there should be loads of helpful threads.

Sound too loud in the earpiece
I recently installed NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.7 on my HTC HD2.
I love it.
But sometimes the voice in my incoming calls is too loud. It feels like the speakerphone is on and I cant turn it down to a reasonable level.
I understand the radio is what controls this issue, isnt it?
My current radio is 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14. I understand it is the latest in this department.
Anything else could be the culprit?

[Q] Improve 3G signal reception

Does anybody knows if there is some way to get better reception, I did read that HD2 has kind a bad antenna, could this be fixed with some radio or something like that?
Thanks guys

You could try flashing different radios, as that tends to provide different results in signal strength.
I am having signal reception issues as well.
Which radio roms are good for reception?
I facing the same problem as well..appreciate I'd someone can suggest a better way.^ ^

Any of the great team developers looking into this as its becomming a very common problem with this fantastuc phone?
Is it just the latest Jellybean release ? would i be better going to an older version of Android/Rom?

I cant seem to find a radio rom.
I have tried ICS and jellybean and both are awful on the vodaphone network.
The same phone with the same flash works perfect on T-mobile.
