Hi guys,
Is it true that the higher the version, the better the radio software is?
My Leo is working on the 2.09.51.03_2 version...
Pls react!
Tnx Johan
different radios work better for different regions... all you can do is try some and see what works better for you...
What's a good Radio for use in the USA for AT&T's 3G network? Any suggestions?
In Florida, AT&T, 9193 I am using
2.08.50.08_2 with MIRI V 10.0 WWE, Cookie HT 7.1 and five pages of quick link apps. It is stable, always stays on H, no crackle in phone audio. Drops calls sometimes in the condo, but not as bad as the Tilt did.

Hiya,
Im still using version 1.03, was reluctant to upgrade due to lots of conflicting reports about the newer radio roms.
So, which one is the best? Isnt there a change log somewhere?
I would use 1.09 if I were you. It has better reception and better battery life. 1.11 is also out but I have seen mixed reviews about it.
ronin
I am happy with 1.11
Cheers
hrb
anyone has any idea why orange is still only using radio rom 1.03?
also any more feedback on the various versions?
I've had offical tmobile roms with 1.03 (I think) and 1.06. Upgrading to 1.09 allows the phone to lock on 100% of the time to a 3G signal in my home where the previous versions only occasionally showed up as 3G at the top of my house. Other than that I haven't noticed much difference between them all.
Got a little question for the french users in here. Can you one of you guys tell me what is the Radio version on the SFR (french Vodafone) ROM? I don't remember it and now I'm running 1.48.
I'm asking this because my data connections is acting up. sometimes when I browse (or do anything else that requires data to be sent/received) the goddamn connection just stawls for 20s. For example I'm browsing with Opera, when I click a link it goes from 3G to H, but every once in a while (well it happens rather frequently!) nothing happens (it doesn't change to H or quicly changes to H then back to 3G in less than a second) and the request times out. It renders the HD2 useless so I have to use a Wifi connection which is a pain in the ass. My iPhone, HTC Diamond, and HTC Trinity work perfectly (all with the same SIM). Unfortunitely I directly flashed to 1.48 and didn't use the phone with the SFR branded ROM (1.44 IIRC) so I don't know if this only happens with the current Radio.
Cheers
UPDATED the thread title as it seems to affect users all over Europe and with all ROMs.
this can help you?
Same problem with Bouygues Telecom and official ROM here.
I turned off the HSPDA in the advanced settings. However i keep switching from 3G to Edge when moving around, in zones that suppose to get fully 3G.
@ugo83130 : Is it the last ROM that you have here ? Is there a release history with the fixed bugs ?

Thanks!
The HD2 seems to have a spotty radio or antena. It keeps going back an forth between 3G & H is place where I didn't have any problem with my Diamond and iPhone 3G. As if sometimes the the data request is rejected by SFR. So the connection stawls for a little while then goes back to normal eventhough I'm sitting and didn't move!
Hello,
not a SFR problem.
I have exactly the same problem with Orange in France.
Waiting for a new radio rom.....
Was the problem here when you were using 1.43 version of the ROM?
Just wondering...
I think this is not just a problem in France because I to have this problem with the radio switching between H and 3G all the time and I live in Holland.
BTW. I also had this on 1.43 so I guess it is not 1.48 related.
Thanks for the input guys.
Just to be clear, going from to 3G to H when a data request is done is normal (it then goes back to 3G when the request is fullfilled). The problem is when it just doesn't go to H and nothing happens for 20s or when it hits H then directly goes back to 3G is less than a second as if the phone lost connection with the network or the request was rejected. This shouldn't happen especially when my iPhone 3G, HTC Diamond and HTC Trinity (just did a test with it) never exhibit this problem.
Upping this one to get more feedback
That's certainly the most important bug of the HD2. 1/3 of my calls fail when 3G is enable. I have to disable it to avoid such problems.
The Radio or Antena does seems to suffer from some sensivity issues. I tested the HD2 and Diamond side by side (2 SFR SIMs with identical full internet contracts). And the Diamond didn't have any problem at all going from to 3G to H then back to 3G when the request were fullfilled. The HD2 kept messing around, sometimes waiting 10/20 secs t'ill it hits H eventhough it was showing more bars next to the 3G/H icon.
It's worst than that. Even in Paris, i have never got HSDPA, but only EDGE. That's ridiculous.
Up please post your feedback if you encounter the same problem.
Those having this problem, can you post you Radio version?
Having exactly the same problem with mine here in sweden..
Operator is 3, no problem with my old Xperia X1
It happens occasionally and i have to turn radio off and switch back on again to get up again. To make a regular call is no problem, just data traffic switching from "H" to "3G" and then it is stucked..
ROM: 1.43.413.2(70124) SVE
Radio: 2.04.50.22_2
Protokoll: 15.26.50.07U

I wonder how we can pass this to HTC's support team. :-(

Hi,
I have the same problem on SFR in France.
ROM : 1.43.406.2 (70124) FRE
Radio : 2.04.50.22_2
Before switching to SFR, I runned on an Orange SIM for 10 days and didn't notice that kind of problem.
Some users also posted on htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz they encounter the problem with SFR.
@ Golgi : Bring people from htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz here to get their versions too Thanks.

Flashed T-Mobile 1.43 to generic 1.66 which has improved the loud call volume and distortion greatly. But the network now says G rather than 3G are they the same?
Does this mean the network settings have changed. I have selected T-Mobile as the network internet.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
3G is as you expect 3G, G is GPRS which is deffinately NOT 3G speed.
Chances are the rom you have installed has 3G mode off by default. Open Comm Mannager and you should find some toggle switches, one for data connection, and another for 3G. If the data connection one is on, but 3g is 'off', you will get G or E (for edge), but with the 3G one 'on' you should get H (HSDPA) or 3G
Tlooked through the settings and there is nothing that switches 3G on or off.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks.
Suggestion:
Flash to Dutty's HG v8, which is based on the t-mobile ROM and has this option (and is much better than 1.66 stock, IMO)
I don't know about you since you are on T-Mobile, and if there is a 1.66 ROM released explicitly for the T-Mobile net, but I'll share my knowledge on this:
I'm located in Sweden and use the HD2 on the Tele2 net. I also upgraded to 1.66 and got the exact same problem as you.
I tried the 2.07 rom and the problem remained, however after 2-3 hours I finally got 3G connection.
The problem is that both 1.66 and 2.07 comes with newer radios. These Radios are the reason I can't use 3G at least. I downgraded the Radio to 2.05.51.05_2 and it all works fine for me now. I don't know if this is operator related or hardware related and hence I'd like to know if the 1.66 ROM you installed is explicitly released for the T-Mobile net.
If that's the case I'll probably need to contact my vendor since I'll probably not be able to use any of the newer Radios, which frankly sucks. Please let me know!
I have the 1.66 on Virgin UK (Tmobile and the 3G has not dropped at all.
Don't know if that helps or confuses ?

Ild rather have the choice, than no choice at all. Dutty's ROM has been the only flashes ive needed since T-Mobile stock ROMs.
The ROM is the latest 1.66 on the HTC website. I asked T-Mobile about it but the person did not really know. They asked if the internet connection was fast, but since I've had the phone it has been patchy. It seems reasonably fast today. We have two other T-Mobile phones, HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy and both these also show the G and these are non flashed standard as bought.
I'm a bit nervous about using cooked ROMs.

Went over to Hungerford this morning and 3G came up so it must be a network/location issue and nothing associated with ROM 1.66.
Good to know all functionality is still there.
Thanks for all the replies.

As I said, in my case it took a couple of hours (no matter location) and the 3G appeared. Could you do a soft reset when you get the 3G at Hungerford and see how long it takes before you get 3G again?
Does anyone have 3G on Froyo 3.2?
"Froyo 3.2"
...the Mdeejay build?
(be specific, please, for the love of god)
Oh, and check your APN settings.
Nah man, Darkstone build. I already got my APN settled up, just got E with full bar of signal. Never get 3G at all, just G rarely but most of time E.

Hmm...
You in a bad signal area?
What radio do you use? (switching could help)
I'm in Rochester, New York. It's a great signal. I couldn't find my radio somewhere in Setting under Software Info.
When you boot into WM, it says (in the bottom left) "R" and then the radio rom version.

Flashed Radio should be the last part of the Baseband-Version in the SW Info.
The radio version said 2.10.50.26 and my ROM version is Astraios 1.6 WWE which it is under Shubcraft. What am I missing?
My Baseband version said 15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26. Does it help anything?
Hmm, you could try flashing different radio ROMs, some people have reported changes for better worse in signal with different radios.
Froyo no internet connection??
Ok, I installed froyo 3.2 on my hd2 and everything is working good except it says I have no cennection to the internet and i need to connect, but I have signal and tmobile network, can someone please help me with this problem??
Im getting very poor reception on UK Vodafone network with my HD2. Basically i could be anywhere and mid call i get 3 beeps and loose connection - This is happening quite often now..Also when I dial out sometimes it will sit and take 1 min to actually call the number! Im using xboxmods BTTF rom which is superb....
So my question is.........anyone else in the same situation as me? If not what radio version are you running...
Im using 2.12.50.02
I have checked out the master radio thread but im still struggling!
Many thanks
Radio 2.15 is better for signal, and and data.. But some have more battery drain than with 2.12... Choose what you want

I'm on Vodafone UK and running YukiXboxmod V2.1 with radio 2.12 and have no issues with signal. What ROM are you on as it could be linked to ROM radio.
