The radios in the EVO Shift are horrible, or at least the ones I've seen are. HTC needs to do something about this ASAP because a bad radio constant searches for a signal causing the battery to be drained a lot faster. If HTC can't get radio updates before the HTC Thunderbolt gets released, I'll be jumping ship.

My phone is due for upgrade at the end of the month. Ever since it was announced i have had my heart set on a Desire HD and planned to upgrade to this as soon as it was released.
A spanner was thrown into the works today when I bumped into some articles dating back to May about the glacier. The spec looks a huge leap ahead of the desire hd but I could not find any recent references to this device at all.
Does anyone know anything about this device? The reports from may say the launch was planned for end of 2010 and that it has the dual core snapdragon.That is all I can find.
Cheers
Tim

It looks like the HTC Glacier and the new myTouch (HD, 4G, and so on) are one and the same.

Has anyone picked apart that ROM yet?
Imo, I would get the 4g if I was on tmob
Wow so they are one and the same??? And I also see a T-Mobile November 3rd release. Bly ME!!!
Hello, I have noticed that I have 88% time without signal. I know im not in the best signal area, but my eris never went above 10%. My battery life suffers from this and I was wondering if there were any different radios to use. I am running jt1134 non-voodoo kernal, and the 2.1.3 rom. Thanks for the input.

Yep, mine too... I HATE IT!! As VZW service is really spotty around my house with the Fascinate, however I never dropped a call with my old Droid 1. I have contemplated many times now to sell on eBay and go for the Droid Pro or D2 World because of my signal whoa's....
Same here, verizon has good coverage in my city, but spotty with this phone. However, it isn't worse then my old t mobile phones, so for now it isn't a problem, but my droid buddies have way better coverage then I do.l
Ya, when I had an eris, we had like 5 or 6 different radios. It was great, being able use the one that worked best for my location. Do you know if we need to wait for a radio update to have options? Im not sure how they obtained the one they had in the eris community.

Been using the .17 radio for a month now with great results. Usually full bars in the GTA and as far east as Belleville. I have not tried the new .30 radio as of yet.

The best radio for PR?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
so ive gone and tried the new radio, and still garbage... most of the day in my home area here, my cell has no reception and a wonderful x through the signal bars....
so what else is a good solid radio for super weak reception areas?
or is there any way to boost signal?

This is a lost cause no radio is gonna magically make you have a stronger signal. Why are you asking and just try them?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Which radio did u try? Both 4.30 and 4.16 provided noticable improvements in cell reception for me, but as someone else posted if there is no signal to begin with....

If you use cm7 Rom , you can use 26.08.02.17_m2
Sense gingerbread Rom use 26.08.04.30 or 26.08.04.16
And must use Ril
my wifes iphone has 3 bars on average here where i have no service.... so the service is fine in the area...
Perhaps it is bad hardware? You have the Bell Desire Z? Maybe take it in and get them to give you a replacement. What network is the iPhone on?
I updated to the new .30 radio and its working great here in oshawa. Slight improvement in all areas imo.

newbie question, but i am wondering - when you root and flash a ROM, does it automatically break wiMax? i have a GB/AOSP Hero and likely will be switching to the Epic. the Wimax issue is one thing i am not sure how it works regarding ROMs, etc.
it seems it is ROM dependent but i want to get clarification on this. if it is, i fail to see why one would flash a ROM that doesnt include WiMax support.

CM7 alpha4 and the gb leak are the only roms I'm aware of that currently have no wimax. I'm pretty sure all froyo roms have wimax working. Also no need to backup wimax.
thanks epic4GEE. still deciding between the Epic and Evo Shift. had a Moment before my Hero and am still very weary of another Samsung.

My mother had a Samsung Moment and it was by far her most horrible phone. It was constantly going into Airplane Mode, and wouldn't reset until you rebooted.
The Epic I can confirm fixed that issue, this phone is also a lot more powerful than any other phone currently on the market. (Atleast for Sprint.)

As a former owner of the Moment, I can relate. I threw my Moment away the day the Epic was released. Samsung was sketchy with it for the longest time. They seemed to have done though what they never did with the moment.. Listened to the yelling and complaints and did a decent job of mending relationships and getting Froyo out.
The only ghost left is the gps. Its more reliable than the moment by far but still randomly reminds you it is a Samsung product.
It is by and large a great phone.

I bought an Epic yesterday.
Just now, trying to figure out the damn WiMax. It disconnects no matter what, and I'm in San Antonio which had one of the first networks here for WiMax. Tried 3 ROMs and still no difference.
Beyond that, I *LOVE* this phone. Running Syndicate at the moment.

Wimax is finicky deal, it works in my house, but only if I hold the phone right and I'm in the right spot....just the nature of high frequencies.
I just wanted to make a poll to see which RADIOS are all you guys using.
So with no any other delay....lets vote!
also it would help if you tell us WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED.
i myself am using 12.55.60.25_26.09.04.26 (Panache Stock)
currently at Las Vegas, NV
works the best for me.
I live in New York City, using the Panache Stock.
Just flashed the radio a few days ago though so I haven't gotten to see too much difference yet, but it seems to maintain reception better in certain spots that used to be dead zones for me. Apart from that nothing else I can really say about it.
I'll edit more info into my post once I've used it longer.
my sig says it all using the stock glacier radio 26.03.02.26 living in the Columbus, GA area. best battery/signal ratio for me
I just flashed the gingerbread radio so ill see how it goes so far so good, but not too say I ever had problems with the stock one

I live in Portland OR and i use the stock radio.
It seems to work well enough.
