Hey guys, I recently updated my radio and things have just gone down hill. I have the worst signal nearly all of the time, which is better than nearly ALL of the time when I don't have any signal. If there are any recommended roms, please let me know.
Thanks.
So this is just a radio issue, nothing to do with ROMs.
The best thing to do is flash the latest, run it for 24 hours or so, if it isn't so good, try the one before that,... and so on.
I'm using a rebel sim inside a Orange network locked handset, I found using the latest 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 gave me reception problems, so I'm now using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 which is working flawlessly.

well, im using villainrom12 which started off quite fast, but now its quite choppy, but tbh i just wanna sort out my reception issues first. Then I'll probably try the new froyo villain rom after cleaning some of the apps off of my phone.
Hey guys,
So I have been running supernova 1.04 (dk28) rfs, since it was posted here on xda(didn't look up date) a month or so back. Everything has been great up to the standards we have been given so far, however recently it seems like my radio resets(chime noise, no signal sign, then signal again) a lot more often if it should at all. I thought that it might just be a jacked up cell site near my house, but its been happening at work too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to affect my data, voice, or wifi. I have yet to drop a call because of it. Just curious if I should worry about it being a hardware issue or just due to unfinished software/radio? Thx folks!

Might try reflashing the dk28 modem. I was having problems like that when I was running DK28. It eventually would completely crash so I ended up going back to 2.1. I could never get the FroYo leak to be completely smooth no matter what I tried.
Could this be a problem with local cell towers or is this purely phone/software issue?

Most likely a phone issue.

I am running the same rom and sometimes I hear it make a sound and when I look the signal bars are replaced with a no signal icon, it usually goes back to normal quickly.
But it did this when stock as well so I figure it is a bug in the radio driver.
I can confirm this on 2.1 as well. Can't be too sure but I think it lasted until I got a replacent Epic. It could have been the tower and a complete coincidence but the old phone did it non stop. The new one has very rarely done it on both eclair and froyo. Anyone who experiences this should consider something as well. Did it start after a prl update because it came back after my update to 60674. Lost my 3g as well. Reverting to prl 60671 fixed it but this is NOT a guaranteed fix just worked for me.

I thought that I had seen a post before about prl updates, but I wasn't sure that the two were connected. How does on go about reverting prl updates, or maybe a link on how to? Thx for the feedback guys much appriceated, as my wife says I would be lost without my "other woman" lol.

I've been using 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 for quite a while and it works the best for me. Keep in mind I am in the Vancouver, BC area.

I'm not with telus. I went back to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26. The newer ones gave some problems. Sometimes bluetooth was not able to switch on. Only a reboot helps.

It would probably be helpful if you told us what radio you are currently on. I'm still using 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 as well and it's been pretty good. Occasionally I cant get a signal but its usually pretty good.
Thanks everyone. Updated radio everything seems better now

UPDATE: Seems like the problem is still their. Thought it was gone but loose signal drops calls and voice fades in and out. i am running the latest radio. Does any one have a nandroid backup of the stock telus rom etc. Maybee its a hardware issue
thanks
update above
I'm in Vancouver and been using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 for a while now and everything seems to work fine ( I am not using bluetooth though). You might want to give it a try or/and maybe change the ROM. I remember reading somewhere on the VillainRom.co.uk forums that Telus Hero users with a Froyo ROM should use 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but that was months ago when early versions of FroydVillain were released so I don't know.
I shuould note, GPS tends to be kind of slower than I`d like. Been thinking about updating to the latest but I wonder if it really changes anything.
Hello,
I have a HTC EVO 4G and recently rooted it but ever since I did I am getting poor 3G and wireless reception.
I dont know if I flash an out dated radio or what but I dont know if a more recent radio will help. Any help will would be great.

Your radio, your selection of rom. I tell you this much, put on vaelpak 3.2 RC2 rom on your phone and you def won't be having those problems. Watch that evo come to life!

Sent from my Vaelpak 3.2 RC2 Evo 4g. Flash and ye shall receive.
I have already loaded a rom sorry I should have mention that before. I have loaded the EVO ZONE rom and ClockMod Recovery. Can I flash a up to date/ better radio with out flashing the entire rom?
Just try to update profile and update prl and see if that works. You should do that after flashing.
I did it but my 3G speeds are bad. I ran a speedtest while in a good 3G service area and was getting 0.4kbps down. I would like to go back to the stock Sense rom but dummy me didnt back it up.
I'm also experiencing the same issue(s)
I totally agree with ropodope. It can definitely be the rom, I used the original Miui and noticed I had poor reception where I would normally have good reception. It could be the radio or maybe even the kernel, my suggestion would be try different roms and kernels because you can find what works best on your phone.
Good luck.

It can't be the kernel as the kernel plays no role in reception at all.

Yes you can download updated radios or previous radios to find your trouble spot. Just dl them to your sd card and flash as you would a rom or a kernel. Wipe your cache and dalvik cache first. Wait a couple of minutes to allow the radio to write the image. When done flashing, just reboot. The radios are on here. Just do a search.

It could legitamatley be your coverage area was reduced. See http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/281992#281992 for details. You can call Sprint and get an Airave.

You have any suggestion on getting a good radio to flash?
You should try downloading rom manager from the market. I'm sure there is a few stock evo roms on there. If you can't find a rom that is to your liking you can check the roms in the evo 4G development forums here on XDA. Be sure to read about the roms and what others are saying about the rom before you flash. A lot of the time I find that after seeing 10 to 20 people complain about the same or similar issues I wouldn't be satisfied with that rom, but that's just me.

I love my AirRave! Def great where Sprint signal isn't avail!
Here are your radios, and other nifty updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
As far as 3g I have tried this fix with good results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
To be honest, Ive had bad reception with PRI 1.77 and 1.90. Also my roms are varying day to day i try new ones.
roms i think are good are MikZ, mikG, Evokings and other sense roms.
When I got my phone in January I had GREAT signal here at work. I noticed that after I rooted it I lost that great signal. Now I'm back to 1-0 bars all day. I think something in the rooting process screws the signal, I don't know much about it so I'm not sure what that could be. All I know is before I rooted my phone I sat at work with 3g signal in the basement of the building. After rooting I'm lucky to get 2 bars in the parking lot. I ran just the rooted stock for 2 months hoping it would magically clear itself up but of course it didn't
I've tried 3 ROMS so far. Fresh 4.0, MikFroyo & VaelPak. Of the 3 I seem to get a slightly better signal with VP.

Well I tried Rom manager and it seem to work got a stock rooted Rom which works pretty good. Does anyone know how to unroot? Unfortunately I didn't backup the Sprint stock Rom when I rooted it. I try ruu but it failed.

Anybody else having data issues when it comes to the newer .48 radio with T-Mobile? My data is constantly dropping and I'm in a great coverage area. (Always 3-4 bats with hpsa+) I wasn't having this problem with 4.2.1 roms and the .33 radio. I tried to revert back to using the .33 radio and the .27 radio with my 4.2.2 rom but no luck. I don't hear audio in calls and it seems like .48 will only work. Anybody else in this dilemma and how have you solved it?
To be honest, the data drops don't annoy me as much. It's the reconnecting that bugs me. Some times it takes 1-2 minutes to reconnect.

It's weird. I've heard a few people got it to work with 27 but not others. I'm the unlucky batch that can't get .27 to work.
Simms, you're located in New York right? I wonder if that has to do with anything. I'm from Sf/ bay area.

try redownloading/reflashing it?
Same here.
Constant dropping. And sometimes it will stay in E/G mode and not switch to H even when in a known strong H area.
Losing signal all the time as well.
I can barely make phone calls and when I do, there is static.
Starting to HATE t-mobile....the data speeds are fast, if only you can get a signal.
I've even tried new sim cards, and no change.
Anyone have any other suggestions on Carriers for this phone? plan price is not an issue, I just want quality.
I've noticed similar issues with my TMo sim but not my straight talk at&t one. I just attributed it to bad service or coverage by TMo. If it is a radio issue however, and someone can confirm it, this could be very interesting. Would be willing to downgrade to .27. Tried .33 but noticed little difference except larger battery drain. Glad I'm not only one experiencing this issue as well though.

I tried flashing the 27 radio again. Everything works, except the damn audio while in call. It sucks too because my internet speeds are so much better on .27! I hardly see a loading screen. Haha.
Maybe it's time to go back to 4.2.1 rasbean for good. But that means no more flashing
Edit: I wonder if using a different recovery would effect it. I'm using twrp recovery, but maybe should try it with cwm recovery. Or even fast boot.

I'm curious which ROM or kernel you may be using. I have been thinking of trying this baseband out. Even though I rarely make calls, the times I do I would prefer the audio to work. I'm using Franco kernel r102 and trailblazerz11's CM 10.1.

I'm on At&T and all the basebands work fine.. I did try out tmobiles prepaid $30 plan to try and cut costs but my area sucks for t mobile I also could only get .48 to work on T-Mobile with multiple roms otherwise I had no audio in calls.. So sticking with AT&T here
