HTC Magic Port Radio Issues (SOLVED)

(solution at the bottom of this post)
Hey, ive searched for a little while now and i havnt found a solution, so if i missed it im sorry just point me in the rigth direction. In the mean time, here is my issue:
Its the same issue with:
4.5
4.9
5.0
(these are the only onces ive used)
all downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
now ive wiped before flashing each update, and even wiped after the update, ive even gone back to rc29 and then trying again
when i get the phone to finish booting up, my radio gives me issues, it will show full bars, then none, then full, then none, never showing edge, so i go into wireless settings and realize that every 20 seconds or so, airplain mode is coming on for a half a second then going back off, without me clicking it, but when it does this, it never shows the airplane icon where it does if i click it myself in the top status bar
now if i manage to dial out a call at the right time, it will keep the full bars, and dial out properly, i can have a half hour phone call or longer without a problem, when i hang up, i have full bars AND edge for atleast a hour or so, and then i drop edge all of the suddon and go back into the airplane loop, inwhich a simple phone call (even to voicemail) fixes it temporarily
this issue happens as soon as i reboot the phone as well, as it starts up, it shows no connection, then emergency calls only, then tmobile, and repeats
when under mobile settings when trying to select a network manually if im lucky for it to show tmobile and at&t, 90% of the time it tells me it cant connect to tmobile due to my sim. if i keep clicking it it will say registering to network, but it will stay in the loop with the airplane mode flickering on and off
again, if this is something stupid im missing, or if its been explained elsewhere, my bad just point me in the right direction, but either im not searching for the right thing or ive just completely missed it, either way, someone help me before i have to go back to JF 1.42, im really enjoying this magic port
Ok, so thanks to the suggestion to "update the radio" and Google for pointing me in the right direction. I did as follows, and so far, so good.
Download this file to SD card
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip
Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23
Rename it update.zip
Reboot Phone in Recovery
(I wiped, this may not be needed, but I did anyway)
Alt + S to install the update
the phone will ask you to do the home + back to reboot, press it and it will do a few other things, including reboot into a screen with a arror pointing at a microchip, then it will reboot back into recovery
hit the home + back yet again to perform another reboot and it will boot up normally and so far, ive yet to have an issue with my radio after this

wootroot-
THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE!!!!
This problem has been plaguing me as well with all of these new builds!!!
Ultimately I ended up going back to JF 1.42 MOD because I needed a working phone.
I flashed to 5.0G tonight... and its doing the same thing... radio on then radio off. I tried flashing to the new Sapphire radio... nothing works.
I would love for someone to come up with a working solution.
Thanks!

i feel the same way, i thought it was just me
there has to be something im missing, so many other people use these builds without issues like this, there is no way someone could put up with this issue and use the phone as a daily phone reliably
if you want to have 5.0 (well i flashed H not G but im sure it would work regardless) time a phone call to your voicemail when your radio flashes on and when it vibrates saying the call connected, hangup, and everything will be fine for a few hours
do me a favor though, read over the stuff i just added to my first post, see if your phone is doing anything different than mine, that way when someone who comes in here and is able to help, they know exactly what our phones are doing, and hopefully its not just us with this issue and it will get others in the trend of explaining in detail what is wrong with theres, maybe this will help speed up getting a solution lol (wishful thinking?)

I am redoing things once again.... reflash, etc.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
But it's late and I am tired and annoyed.
If it happens again... I will try to make a video of whats happening so others can actually see it.

I thought I was going crazy I'm on 5.0G now the new one which adds busybox but I've been having the same exact problem as the OP but I haven't tried the Sapphire Radio yet but we all seem to experience different issues anyway.

no fun, sorry your having issues too, you say we are having different issues, could that be because we are using the HTC code and your using the GOOGLE code? or did i misunderstand you?
can you explain a little more about the sapphire radio vs other radios? ive been trying to understand what the difference is, and how to switch between them, but so far im unable to find a clear answer, so can you tell me the difference and how to switch between them?
thanks for your help
EDIT:
oh and what do you use busybox on the g1 for? i just read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox) and i have a general idea of what it is now, but whats the use of it on the g1? do you use it as kind of a DOS for the g1? is it more for developers than end users?

This problem has happened to me but seems as all I needed to do was to reupdate the radio. It worked for me!

Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23

Still having issues!!!
I am still having these same issues!!!
I posted a video here....

Its driving me nuts! I downloaded and flashed the Sapphire Radio RC33 twice! Still acting up.

try reflashing the rom, then do the radio update

Hi all, I've just rooted my phone (Australian release on Optus) and i was wondering if the radio update has regional limitations or not? Because i've heard positive things about it but I don't want to screw my phone up.

When will the Audio Problem be fixed completely

I want to know when will the sound problem be fixed completely? im currently using fresh 1.5 because all of the 2.1 have problems with the sound.. when someone calls i cant hear them and they cant hear me! i cant be resetting my phone everytime this happens. the fix that they have dont work also it might prevent it from happening so often but all my calls are important... does any one know when this will be fixed fully or why is this happening? how to prevent it ? mayb its the cdma settings? Thanks alot

The audio problem for the effected phones will be fixed when official 2.1 comes out.

i found whats causing it.... so who has a nice rom with the older kernel before .29 .. wats the kernel ? lol
The issue is caused by audio drivers in the kernel not resetting. we do not have the source for .29 kernel so there is no fix. we dont know why this effects some people and not others. Since the audio drivers do not reset it does not allow anything to read them. so it continues resetting and resetting and this causes the cpu to be pegged by the constant retry and retry.

Any 1.5 or overclocked 2.1 Rom

The audiofix posted by avalaunch worked briliantly for me. I have not had the issue once since he posted his fix about two weeks ago.
Also just so you know, zens my touch Rom did not have the audio issues for me. Just be sure to reboot after the first boot to completely get everything working.

which fix the audiofx or audiorc?? or u on the newest one for testers? i hate the my touch roms omg lol whats the older kernel version

wait another thing could it be because we didnt update the radio ?? or u guys doubt that 1?

I have had the audio issue with every ROM i had used until i flashed the Dachdroid 2. Ever since i have not had any kind of issues with phone freezing or caller not hearing me when i answer. Its very strange, but i wanted to post to see if any of the Devs can find out the differences between whats in this ROM and all the othersthat would make it work. Again i have had audio issues with all except this one.

What is this Audio problem?
I've run ROMs with both the .29 and hacked up .27 kernels.
Is this a bluetooth audio problem? Or handset audio?

The problem occurs randomly, for me at least. It's an issue I've had as others have that no audio at all comes through after an unknown time. I notice mine is triggered when I get off the phone with someone, I get 'call lost' and then all my audio is gone and have to reboot to get audio back. It affects BT and handset for me.

Iv never had the problem and iv changed my radio quite a few times. I think im on my 4th radio.
Maybe later at night you could flash a 2.1 rom, change to a newer radio and give it a few test to see if it works.
Flipz has alot of radios and I think the stock one on his site.
(IF anyone trys flashing a radio this is really the only way you can brick your phone. DO not flash any radio unless it says CDMA htc hero. All of them are on flipzmode website. You cant go wrong if you get them from him.)

the issue will hopefully be fixed when they release 2.1 officially. and im still looking into the issue a little at a time. 99% of people reported that one of the two updates put together fix it.
the only other cause could be a hawrdware issue. like the moved one resistor on the board and this causes something in the kernel to restart drivers. idk that is a very very very simple thought. but anyways like i said hopefully it get fixed!

Dont know if this is related but its absolutely killing me
Just today the headset icon popped on and wont go away. I cant hear anything when using the phone because its stuck in this mode. I plug in headphones and the voice dialer starts. I can hear through the headphones, but taking them out does nothing.
Anyone have any info on this or if there is anything I can do?

yea thats y im on fresh 1.5 i hate the 2.1 simply because of the audio problem coming from the headset !!! andn darch droid2? does everything work correctly like camera ect ... i hope its not that dam mytouch theme that 1 sucks ill try tonight

yeah...Ive come to the conclusion that 2.1 is just not going to work for me...went back to fresh 1.1 and everything is good. Its funny though, Ive been on 2.1 since all of the work was done and never had a problem until now. Ive been on damn near every 2.1 rom and didnt have an issue. Now all of the sudden the handset icon shows up and I cant hear anything unless I put in headphones. Tried all of the audio fixes and searched the entire net looking for a resolution. Hopefully the official comes soon. I am definitely going to miss 2.1.

That's more than likely a mechanical problem. Take it in to Sprint.

I would think so too, but I went back to fresh 1.1 and its fine...

I'd go back, but then I'm stuck with not being able to receive picture messages. So far I get the audio problem every other day, and it's a simple reboot.

a simple reboot ? a simple headache lol idk about u guys i dont want to have to restart my phone when i just got a call that i couldnt answer !! ..... is there any newer roms with the older kernel?? because i dont understand the whole kernel thing...

This audio loss issue is reason number one why all of the people who say "Who cares when HTC and Sprint release 2.1? We already have it!" are just total idiots.

Music speeding up in android?

New here, dont think this has been brought up. Has anyone else had the problem where music played in android sounds like its been sped up? It has a high pitch and the song seems to be a couple seconds shorter than it should. Any ideas?

The same thing happens to me. Weither it is from my sd card or through pandora.

same thing here. it sounds like alvin and the chipmunks!

I'm not entirely sure but I think this is because of the same reason which makes the clock go faster than it should be.
This is because android is set to turbo mode, so that it runs faster and smoother for you guys, but i'm sure the devs will have something sorted out soon so that its at normal speed.
sorry if i'm wrong, but i think that's what the problem is

WHEN this is the problem than guys who have this should read the right posts. You have to try the different Zimages,or in best way the latest. There are no problems anymore with pichtin tracks or turbo mode.

no problems with dan's v1 2.2 froyo build with music. I've always started up android manually via explorer instead of using one of those dual-boot solutions... maybe that'll help you guys?

Which ROM and Radio are you using?

I am running the newest version of wm6.5 and radio version 2.10.50.26. im just too nervous to brick my phone by putting a new rom on it, should that help?

This is related to the robot noise in calls issue.
It is fixed by using a tmous 2.10 base winmo rom.
Search could have told you this....

I had this issue (Chipmunk-esque music playback and robo-voice). Flashing to my current rom fixed both problems.

My radio version is 2.10.50.26 on the stock tmo rom (2.13.531.1) and still get the sped up music and robot voice also running the latest zimage from cotulla.

same here, zimage seem not to solve the problem its also not the turbo mode cuz mi clock is working correct but the tracks still sound to fast. Would really like a fix flashed about 5 roms now but nothing seems to work.

I also appear to get this problem, could this be due to a change in hardware in recent models (i got a replacement HD2 in June).

same here. i just stopped listening to music while on android. the songs sound 10x better on winmo right now.

OK, an update seems i managed to fix it by flashing Dutty's latest test ROM

Sound bug through handset

Hey guys... Yesterday I upgraded the baseband to 2.15 from the original stock 1.0 I was running one of the CM nightly builds and also did the unrevoked forever root method to install it. After I did that I installed CM6 RC3 and later I realized I cannot hear out of the headset while making a call or receiving. So I then installed Skyraider and I still get the same thing. I can turn on speaker phone or connect to bluetooth and it works fine... but nothing through the handset.
Today I reverted to an old backup to see if that would help/work and still nothing. I guess my questions are can I fix this? Or do I have to downgrade to 1.0 baseband again and is that even possible?
Any help would be great, just a little annoying having to talk on speaker phone.

You have to revert to 1.0 radio. This happened to a few of us, it seems fairly isolated my replacement will be in tomorrow so I will know soon just how isolated.

I see.... well that sucks...
What did you say to get a replacement sent to you? Because obviously saying that I updated the baseband probably won't go over too smoothly.

Sound not working. Ive searched and tried fixes!

Hello all. Im using Chuckdroid rom with the new radio 2.15 (although the problem still existed with 2.14) and Mdeejay Froyo revolution android.
I had this issue spring up unexpectedly. I had been using Mdeejay's previous version for a day or two with no issues. Then all of a sudden the audio stopped working. I tried updating the radio first to 2.15 from 2.14. Then I tried rebooting after initial launch because it was Froyo. Then I tried updating the Android version to the newer one Mdeejay had. Still nothing.
When it first boots there is sound if I press volume up. Then nothing.
Any thoughts? Is this because of Froyo? Am I missing something?

I jsut changed out the Android version again to: CMYLXGOs.Droid.RedTopia.v1.0.1. It is still not working. I have no idea where I messed up here. Im still searching! Anybody?

Bump. Still having issues guys.

First things first.... Do you have working sound in WM?

Same here, after boot Sound is working, leave it for sometime then NO Sound at all, even media players, youtube, phone calls, Sound Just stops working, cant even call or hear anyone when I use the dialer, as if there is something that Kills Sound.
Desire HD 3,7
Any Fix or workaround? How can I get the Sound to work again?

Im at a loss. Ive never had an issue I couldnt figure out until now. Next thing Im going to do when I get home is change the kernel. If that doesnt work then a different rom. If that doesnt work, I guess change the radio to 2.12 or before. Other than that I dont know what to do. Maybe format and start over.
I wish somebody would weigh in with this.
