Im moving to Shanghai next week and Im aware that some radio versions work best or worse depending of the region you're in.
So the question goes to Chinese residents.
Which radio version is more reliable to you?
And as a bonus question : Do you have any dictionary software to recommend for English/Simplified Chinese?
Thnx!!!!!!
I am using radio 1.50, quite good.. Likewise, for dictionary, you can consider Jin Shan Ci Ba Dictionary..
Is that dictionary made for english speakers?
plecodict... and 1.41
I use 1.41...
I have a friend with a hermes who has 1.43 and really likes it.
I dont get great reception with 1.41 so I would suggest 43...
i know that 50 is out but i dont know anyone using it....
also i've heard mixed things about 43....
anyhoo.
i highly suggest plecodict by pleco. you have to pay a little bit for it 50$ (and i'm a huge free-software guy... so it was rough for me to cough up), but if you're interested in really learning the language it absolutely the way to go (just the oxford version will work just fine).
any other questions let me know .
I've used 1.38 with good results in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. I had a few reception problems with 1.41.
I guess the radio versions seem to be the same as North America then
Cause I did try 1.43 before and had people telling me they tried to call me and got my voicemail when my phone was on.
Or I had dropped calls when attempting to dial out.
1.41 was so-so as well
I guess I'll stick to 1.40.30
thanks for the dictionaries suggestions. It's not really for LEARNING (as I will be learning in class anyways). It's more for assisting me in everyday life.
Hello,
I'm using my HD2 on the french network of Orange.
I previously owned a P3600 and a HD1. With both of these phones I had a strong network signal inside my house (H with 2 or 3).
My HD2 is switching all the time between HSDPA, edge and GPRS.
I'm very disappointed with its network sensitivity.
Are there other users experiencing similar troubles ?
Thanks
Sebastien
+1 to that.and i am havinng another problem.
every time my phone switches from H to 3G i cannot connect to the internet.but when it goes back to H everything is back to normal.
Yes, having the same issues. Very poor signal. Every time I pick up the phone, I lose the signal completely. I have to put it down after composing a text, wait for the signal to come back and then send it.
Hopefully a future radio update might improve it.
Yes agreed - having very similar issues. My phone is also continually switching between 3G and GPRS. It does this seemingly at random. I do not change the way I am holding the phone, nor am I moving. doesn't seem overly good to me.
I seem to have form for buying phones that have poor reception quality. My previous phone (HTC G1) was just the same.
My wife has had a Nokia N95 then recently a Nokia 5800 - these have both had a far better and more stable network reception.
Ok i'm not alone !!!
I really need a new radio ROM !!
PLUS 1 more!
I AM really disappointed to pay 615 EUR for that ****! Of course the HD2 is not trash but the radio unit (with stock radio rom) is it indeed.
see signature for details.
Yes, even the stock Radio rom of my HD1 was far better than this one !
+1 more.
Even in an areas where the signal normally was great with my Kaiser it is now totally gone.
It's nice to have such a wonderful internet machine and not be able to find a good network to use it
There is a 1.48 TEST rom floating in the rom development subforum.
This has improved the signal tremendously for me as it has a new radio.
Proceed with Caution though as it is a TEST Rom, not supported from HTC.
You will lose your warranty if your phone develops a problem and if you need to send it in for repair with this Rom.
Once that has been said, its a great Rom with a lot better signal and a lot better battery life at least for me

Sorry, I'm new to WM. Is a TEST rom an official, beta ROM or some sort of custom build?
Its a beta Rom coming from HTC. It is official but not final. It is a Test
Yes, sorry to hear that guys, my hd2's radio is a **** as well. Same symptoms.
Hope a new ROM will solve this issue.

Apparently some new ones are shipping with 1.48 so there should be a stock build up soon.
Mine's due for delivery tomorrow so with any luck it will already have 1.48
Cool this new rom seems promising.
I will try it tomorrow I think !
I wonder if the crappy 3G and H (hsdpa) signal level is a 'local' ROM issue or is it common to all HD2 (WWE). Most reviews I'd read praise the reception capabilities of HD2.
I plan o migrate from HD to HD2, but if this is the case then I intend to wait till a better (official) radio is available.
me too. My previous HD had fully 4 bars 3G all the time in my flat. Now my HD2 switches between 3 and 4 bars. It has definitely worse radio reception than HD had. But only because of this I won't reinstall everything, I think a new official radioROM (and xSPL) will be out in a couple of weeks.
Kchris, yours seems very usable
On mine, the networks switchs all the time between H and E and G
What is very strange is that some people aren't experiencing any trouble with the network sensitivity.
Maybe it's just our phones which have a hardware trouble ???
That's weird, I have the WWE 1.43 ROM and the reception is actually better than on my old P3600.
It's also almost always on HSDPA (4 bars most of the time), it only switches to 3G on rare occasions (or after a soft reset, before the data connection of course )
What is the ROM version you guys have?
Which radio version do people like most. I seemed to have better luck with 2.41.04.02.03 then I do with 2.42.00.03.10.
I think with the radio versions it depends on your area to prove whats best. What wrks great for you might not for me in my area.
Hello,
Tried several Android builds, most of them except shubCraft are TERRIBLE when you call someone and people on the other side can't understand what you're saying. I had a friend already asking me which phone do I use, I said HTC one and he replied he'll never buy an HTC phone because of how ****ty he can hear me.
It's not my phone or signal strenght - because in shubCraft build people can hear me okay, winmo aswell, plus i have 5bar signal.
Chefs, can you please check your build's voice quality first?! HD2 firstly is a phone, winmo/android/software h4cks come as second. I love playing with "cheffing", builds, roms, software, etc, but at the same time I want to simply be able to make a call like you can with any 10-15 year old mobile phone.
What radio are you using?
Using 2.12 radio
ive not used a shubcraft build but i have not had issues with not people hearing
i've this probleme ...i already test several radio....2.10 2.12 2.14 and 2.15
Of course chef's check they audio quality, look at what's written on the latest tweet: http://twitter.com/CotullaCode
I'm using radio 2.12.50.02.2 and honestly its brilliant, no complaints
I tried to look around for this answer with no luck.
What is the best Radio for the MyTouch 4g?
I am noticing the that MyTouch 4G wifi is not as strong as the Iphone 3GS was.
I think same goes for the signal, what Radio should I flash to get the BEST signal possible, I was reading that different strokes for different fokes, but I don't understand that since one has to be overall better. I live in NYC/NJ Area if that makes a difference.
I currently have the Radio-26.03.02.26_M (Stock I think).
Each radio acts differently with each different rom. If you are on a custom rom, best to ask the members in that rom thead. There is no overall "best" radio that I can suggest.
best thing to do is flash each one and give it a couple days in between to see which radio works best for you
