Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and i have a question... I have the touch dual and the regular touch... Both devices are on the att(us) network... the touch gets edge connection with out an issue while the touch dual does not... i have the following rom on the dual...
ROM:1.31.707.09
ROM DATE 10/31/07
RADIO VERSION 1.58.16.27
Protocol Version 25.61.39.03H
can some one please help me out...
thank you,
Is your Network Type and GSM band both on Auto on the Phone Settings -> Band Tab page?
yes I have both settings set to auto...
it was confirmed that the regular touch has the 850 band even tho it is not advertised to. I know this cause I too used to own the elf and it roamed on AT&T's network when it couldnt find Cincinnati Bell Wireless network. I am not so sure the dual has this band cause I have never had the dual hit thier network.
it is weird cause the only place thet i can get edge is in midtown manhattan....
maybe the manhattan towers operate off of higher bands than the 850 band....
having the same problem no edge only g also no 3g since at&t is on a different 3g band as well if you find a solution please post or message me would greatly appreciate it.
looking for the australia telstra radio and rom since they do have the touch dual working on there 850 mhz 3 g network

I actually had a good Edge connection in New Mexico the other day and the speeds were pretty nice, not 3g but still good.
Hi,
If your polaris having radio problem after flashing with any custom ROM (or even default) and setting the radio to Murata radio, then you can try the following solution.
The problem may include:
- you have strong GSM signal but you cannot make a call ( for example 1 success out of 10 trials)
- you cannot receive any call (dropping call) not on purpose.
- The battery power drains quickly (..few hours till a half day.)
- The GSM signal is not stabile (strong but kept frequently searching again for signal).
I have tried many ways, from flashing to original ROM and set to any Murata radios, but the problem still presists. Then I did the following.
1. Flash the polaris with any original ROM
2. Flash the polaris radio with the latest official radio version ( I just used the one that included with the official rom that I downloaded from http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=2&dl_id=113)
3. When the phone is ready, go to the setting, the phone, and then the service. From there you will have two questions, then select the first question, and choose GSM instead of auto, leave the second question intact i.e. "auto".
4. Your phone will reset its GSM connection, and then just wait. It will display "G" next to the reception bar. Then you can test by making a call or receiving a call.
5. If you still have problem, try to disable the HSPDA or any 3G services.
In my case I have T-mobile, where in Europe it is claimed to work perfectly. Learning from IPhone 3g problem in US, where Apple and T-Mobile tried to blame each other, and looking back to "poor HTC support" I could suspect that HTC has not provided the (old) Polaris with "the right" 3G driver.
I hope it helps. Let me know.

I'm sorry I do not quite understand here ...flash official ROM and official radio? then what? can I then flash any cooked ROM? or ported radio from other device? Thanks.
i have an official rom 1.40.466.1 WWE with Radio rom 1.58.25.21 and also i had this radio and low signal problem since i got the phone, never had a good signal at home.
tried to set the band in phone settings to GSM as you said not AUTO and it worked like a charm. thanks a lot
Hi Deepthroat,
I just did it with the official ROM, (ROM version 3.13.405.0 WWE, Radio version 1.59.42.15). However, some reactions confirm that it also works for any custom ROM and Murata-radio. Honestly, I have not tried to any other combination, just give it a try on your current configuration.
Thus, you can skip step 1 and step 2. Just minor correction on step 3, you go to Settings, choose Phone, and choose tab Band (not service as previously posted), choose "GSM" on the "Select your network type", and leave "Auto" for the "Select your GSM/UMTS band" and finally OK.
In my case, now I still have my polaris battery fairly full even after one day. Before the battery already dropped to 50% or less in after one day.
Please confirm if it works, you will save a lot of desperate polaris owners....
thanks
I can confirm the band tab change: network type from auto to gsm and gsm/umts to umts 900+1200 + gsm 900+1800 as a solution to battery drain and poor signal related problems as written on the first post.
I'm using gullum's latest rom TF2D III with the latest radio rom 1.59.44.02.
My reception is excellent, GPS works good and battery drain is not dreadful.
About the fact that 3G is letting the battery drain very quickly.
This is not a problem, but it's just the way 3G works. 3G just requires more battery power to function.

I stand corrected, however I was referring to users who do not take advantage of 3G capabilities.

It means that we can't use HTC cruise/polaris for video call ??
I bought the polaris at vietnam and then I used it at Indonesia using Telkomsel as carrier. before I have bad signal also after upgraded the rom to the 6.1 it became good reception for GSM connection but when I need to use the 3G/HSDPA connection there is no signal. (using Band selection )
I already upgraded the RADIO to 1.59.44.02 and the problem still the same..
could anyone help to give info how to activate the 3g connection ?
thx

As I understood, Telkomsel Indonesia has a deal with Siemens to implement 3G/W-CDMA(or popular with UMTS) but not yet HSPDA (http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/...n-contract-set-3gwcdma-network-telkomsel.html). The 3G/ HSPDA allows networks based on UMTS to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity, however not all countries have implemented it (this is commonly termed as 3.5G network). So I guess in that case, you should set the band setting tab, Networktype to "GSM" and Select your GSM/UMTS band to the one suitable to your operator.
The problem with current polaris radio is that it is still not efficient to distinguish GSM and W-CDMA networks that leads to many side-problems (stability, quick battery drain, not working camera and etc). Though, I have not tried, some of friends claimed that polaris can support perfectly video call. So you have to work hard to find the right setting for your net. provider.
goodlucks

Oh ok, now I understand the relation between the battery drain and GSM band selection mode. I will try it Thanks for sharing with us.

thanks for quick answer..
Actually I just want to use video call. Oh...very sad to hear that..
so do you think it's the polaris inherent problem that we can't do anything..?
I just try all setting..and I try also other operator like Indosat and proxl and the problem is same.
When I set the Band selection to W-CDMa or auto, sometimes After soft reset, polaris detect the 3G network but in 3 second dismiss and change to GSM network in most of the time just no signal.
everything is ok when I select the GSM only.
so no other option ?
thanks

If I were you, I will do the following:
Telkomsel requireshttp://www.telkomsel.com/web/info_3g, in Indonesian)
1. your phone is 3g (fulfilled by polaris)
2. You have registered to 3g service
3. You are in the area where 3g is supported
4. You have sufficient 3g signal.
In addition, Telkomsel uses 3G / UMTS / WCDMA / 2100 MHz. So if you have met the requirements, just set "GSM" and "GSM+UMTS 2100" in your polaris band tab (phone setting) and don't forget to enable the HSPDA in connection tab. If it does not work, reflash your radio rom to latest official release:1.59.42.15.
If it still does not work try to use 3g service in another supported handset (nokia or ericsson), if it works then it is the time to sell your polaris (just kidding!!!).
goodluck!!

exactly the same here,, this is so frustrating
Here's what you guys are looking for.
WorldWideEnglish (405) WWE:
http://dl.htc.com/downloadfiles/Rom....0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe
Just tried this method and still am having horrid reception in Canada here under Rogers.
I am going to be using a Telstra HD2 in the US on AT&T's 3G network.
After SIM unlocking I am going to flash another ROM as I hear the stock Telstra ROM sucks on AT&T.
Anyone know what is the best ROM / Radio combination to use on the Telstra HD2 for best performance (phone & data) on AT&T 3G?
Thanks.
You do not need to sim unlock the phone. It is unlocked. And the Telstra radio works fine if you know how to set it up. You will need to use HSPL and flash a new rom on your phone. You could either use a signed WWE version from europe or southeast asia or a custom rom.
I have tried five radios on my phone. Did not test for battery length. But all 5 including the telstra radio gave me the same reception and speed.
I installed the 1.66 rom from southeast asia. But its your choice. I would spend some time reading before you do anything.
I'm using telstras hd2 with duttys latest rom. I also tried Miri's and Artemis. With Miri's for some reason I could only get 3g with entering additional bands in the registry. One or two bars of H. With Artemis I did not try the reg settings, but could not get any 3g as is. With duttys all I had to do was enable 3g and umts in the settings and got 3 BARS H right away. Speedtested 1011k with 2 bars.

I have a HD2 from telstra. I have flashed a WWE ROM and now the +UMTS 850 band has gone from band settings. What do I edit in the registry to get these bands back?
Cheers!
Radio 2.08?
Has anybody tried newest rario 2.08?
2.08 radio works fine...
Scooby, it doesn't matter, the hardware controls the bands.
is any radio version compatible with any rom, and what is the difference between at&t and international versions of the atrix. I got my mobile from the US and I am using vodafone Egypt...... does this make me an international or us
So far as I know, the radio version is independent of the rom. So you could have an international Atrix with the proper radio for your version as well as the proper kernel, and a US rom. Most roms do not touch the radio.
When people speak of different versions of the Atrix, they are referring to where the phone was purchased. The us version is slightly different than the rest of the world, and as such requires a different Kernel.
If your version is an AT&T version from the US, then you would use the us based kernel and radio.
so I am a US model...... Can I flash a radio that is not meant for at&t.... as your answer meant that I can but the last sentence in your reply says I cannot
I am shopping around for another radio as I have problems with 3G connectivity. I cannot have data connection whatever I do and I removed the apns and restored defaults and made new ones with the proper settings, turned 2g and 3g on and off and tried putting it in the flight mode and changing the settings for GSM only or GSM prl auto and all the other settings with no effect.
does the us version uses different frequency I checked my operator and found that they are using UMTS 2100 MHz
do you have any ideas............ I ran out of them

before flashing the radio did you make sure your apn is set up properlY?
yes I did and used 2 sim cards from 2 different operators working with the same apn settings flawlessly on other phones (blackberry torch and htc touch diamond 2)
I think, thought I may be incorrect, that you need to stick with the at&t radio if your on the at&t phone? Maybe someone who knows more than me can chime in?
I was just meaning that the radio is a separate thing from the ROM that you have on the phone.
The atrix supports 2100 mhz, so I suspect if you are having problems that it is connected to your APN settings.
When you are in the APN menu, did you try resetting to default before adding your APN? I usually have to do that on mine before I can get data to work properly.
