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?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Android having got my HTC Tattoo during the week.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get Android 2 (Eclair) onto my Tattoo? I've googled for it but there's only instructions for the Hero.
I don't care if its a vanilla ROM without Sense UI. I'm just looking for an update to help improve battery life and bluetooth functionality (plus I like to have all the latest versions of things ).
I emailed HTC about it and they said they couldn't confirm if the Tattoo was getting the update (which probably means it won't...)
Also, I'd rather not use a buggy beta ROM .
Thanks in advance,
Keith
PS: I know people managed to get a V2 ROM onto the G1 by rooting but I presume it's differen for the Tattoo because the different screen size, addition of FM radio etc.
hey guys,
i am about to buy a second hand touch diamond. i was just curious about its recpetion quality on gsm network. kindly share your experiences. i had xperia before but didnt like the reception of that phone. how does xperia recpetion compared to diamond !!
also ... does 6.5 run fast on diamond or is it like xperia (very much sluggish)
as well.
kindly send me your opinions.
i ll be waiting.
Using Diamond since last 9 months and that too on GSM network. Never faced any problem about reception. You can go ahead with ur buying but kindly check the battery usage. As in new phone it doesnt last more than a day...dont know how old the diamond is ...the one u r going to buy second hand.
Regards,
Vishal
have used diamond in the past....mostly use HD nowadays....
but no problem with reception...only concern may be battery life...but it should be OK on GSM...I was on 3G...
Hey guys. I'm not new to HTC phones. I have been on these forums a while. I have purchased a used mytouch 3g (32b) and have already rooted and installed cyonagenmod 6, 2.2 Froyo.
I have owned 3 HTC phones in the past all Windows mobile. (HTC Touch, Touch Diamond, and recently deceased Touch Diamond II) The TD2 was a great phone to me for 1.5yrs and am sorta missing it but glad it died cause it gave me a reason to buy an Android phone. Not one of my dream but still an android phone.
I was wondering if you have a thread or know of somewhere where radios have been compiled for downloading. I assume that like WinMo you can flash a different radio the same way with andriod. Am I correct?
My radio version currently is 2.22.19.26I and I'm haveing slow 3G loadtimes compared to my brothers HD2. With my Touch Diamond II I switched radios about 5 times till I got one that worked really well for calls and data.
Is there a newer version out there I can flash? Perhaps one from the new froyo updates T-Mo is sending out? Please help, I've tried to search a little but with no success. I work 7 days a week and am pressed on time. I don't even have time to make custom themes for myself like I used to in WinMo.
Any new radio updates for the MyTouch 4G? I dunno why but my data signal strength is very poor....
I got my MT4G like less than 2weeks ago and already flashed it like 800times lol and I do mean it literally. I like to have custom control of my device and I haven't came across much Radio ROM's for MT4G other than stock. Which I kind of found very odd as moving from HD2; we all know the superior hackablity of that device. ATM where I am I am getting UMTS and very low speed I know for fact I can get HSPA here and get close to 3+mbps as I did before. But couldn't find any Radio updates ooh well lets wait and see so far MT4G is like 1/100th in Dev compared to Leo.
