1.87 radio on ATT - Atrix 4G General

Remember the 1.87 radio we flashed on Froyo to get faster uploads?
Thanks to Sun3vil for pointing me to it again:

I have been experiencing problems ever since Gingerbread. Loss of bluetooth connection to Slacker and dropped calls. I thought it was the bluetooth but it appears to be the radio.
I rsd flashed the 1.87 radio yesterday and Slacker works perfect. It changes songs much faster and no hangs. Not very long on the radio but no dropped calls either. Funny thing is that the speedtest.net scores are very erratic but the downloads are fine. Everything seem to work faster.
I did ota and then unlocked with pudding. I am rooted also. And while flashing the radio didn't hard brick me there are a gazillion warnings about using rsd post gingerbread so use at your own risk.
imho

Any Luck With Dcd Roms?

I have installed and uninstalled one of the current dcd roms. the processes all went smoothly. I went back to stock because of poor internet performance. I have an xv6800 with verizon. I've looked around in the forums and haven't seen too much on the topic
hmmm...how much better is the stock rom on the internet? I have a DCD 2.3.2 kitchen rom and then finally gave in and got internet so i dont know anything different.
my internet would frequently discontent. I was also having trouble with downloads
I've been running dcd 2.3.2 kitchen since it came out. My internet connection works fine. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. I think it may have something to do with where you use your phone.
I mean in your area, you may have newer or older cell towers. They may be running different hardware or software.
Either way, my xv6800 works great with dcd's roms.
I had the 1.6.1 & I am
now running his 1.7.0
rom now & have no
problems on the net.
Everything works fine.
Radio Problems...
I actually have the same problem and I switched my phone 2 times for new ones, so I know it is not the hardware. The internet connections are just not reliable. For pulling websites and the occasional download yes but if you depend on a constant connection to communicate with dispatch servers it just doesnt perform that great.
I have to use the ESC client from Coastal Computer (doubt anyone knows what it is) for my work and it always times out communicating with the server. However if I put the stock radio, it always works. So I guess I cant have GPS on the device if I want for work.
The internet problems that are reported by some users are due to the 3.27 radio software/firmware on the GPS-enabled (3.16 based) ROMs -- not with the DCDs OS ROM per se. All 3.16 based ROMs are using the 3.27 radio... Hopefully, the new stock Sprint ROM supposedly coming out tomorrow will have new/better radio software, ao DCD can lift it for his work...
I'm using the current DCD 2.3.2 ROM/3.27 radio and the internet isn't that bad, but certainly not as good as my previous 2.16 ROM/1.40 radio combination on my Sprint Mogul...

VZW VX6800, ROM 3.56, Radio 3.42.50

Posted at PPCGeeks as well.
Okay, I have never had a problem like this until now. I recently had to replace my VX6800 because of a cracked screen. When I got the replacement, I updated to the newest Radio and cooked a ROM based on 20270. Everything works flawlessly until I am at work. I worked at a power plant where the reception in buildings is very little. The company purchased and installed a few cell phone boosters with the external antennas and the whole nine yards. Before this new phone, new Radio, and new ROM I was able to use the signal from the repeaters, now I can't. My phone sees the signal, but will not use it for data or voice. I can't even dial *228. I can walk outside and use my phone no problem. I am totally confused at what to do next. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? I am also running PRL version 51056.
Well if you want to experiment, flash on Radio version 3.42.40 via MicroSD (since it's SPECIFICALLY made for this device, and not ported over)
See if you notice any difference doing that.
What were you running before?
That's excactly what I am doing now. After having posted this thread, I am reading more about the .50 and realized that is was from the Vogue. I am in the process of flashing to .40 now. I will let you know.
I downgraded my Radio to 3.42.02 and it still doesn't work. Any other Radio suggetions?

[Q] .50 Radios on stock 1.66?

Right since this place has gone android crazy over the last few months, I thought I'd give it a go. Went through all the instructions, updated hspl to 2.08 updated radio to greater than 2.08. Ran android, boot screen shows all the boot up text then melts away into two lines, then....nothing (left it half hour just black screen and green flashing led). Anyway, reading though the 19900 posts on android I stumbled upon a post saying that to run android you need to flash a .50 radio not .51 What I want to know is as I am using the wwe stock 1.66 can I flash a .50 radio with no ill effects or will I have to flash a new rom as well?
If it means flashing a new rom then I'll just stick with WM as I've got my phone running nicely and haven't needed to mess about with it at all (to get it working!) for months
You can flash the Radio ROM only. As you are not using a TMOUS HD2 then there is no problem with bricking your phone.
I am currently using the 1.66WWE ROM and 2.10.50.08_2 Radio ROM.
I don't know how well this works with Android, as I like WinMo.

Ok cheers for that, will give it a go. Won't be using android as a day to day option, just want to try it out see what all the fuss is about.
Be careful: I tried THAT already (updating my radio on my 1.66-ROM Radio 2.06.51.07) to run Android but found out that all upper radios 2.08 and higher) from the radio-thread do partially not work on my HD2 (some of the basic functions Phone/WiFi/Wireless Router/HSPA etc. didn´t work anymore after upgrading).
So after flashing new radio CHECK EVERY function of radio if it´s working as before.
I had to go back to 2.06.51 to get my smooth running of my HD2 again with all Radio features working flawless.

Got to admit after flashing 2.09.51 yesterday it actually improved things, got hsdpa at home (4 bars as well) never had anything other than gprs as I live in an old quarry, lowest it has dropped to is 2bars of 3g so as far as dial up connectivity is am better off. Not had other issues with wifi, phone or messaging either, not tried bluetooth or wifi router yet but would assume that they are fine also. Obviously if things do start going ary I'll flash the original back
BTW android now boots and runs like lightining!
So I give it a last chance. Didn´t try 2.09.51 (goofed the line and thought it´s for TMOUS). Tx for the tip
Did You change rilphone.dll and if yes to which version ?

Hi djingonthenet,
Can you confirm you have flashed the radio to 2.09.51 and not 2.09.50? Any issue observed so far?
I have the same configuration as your HD2 and would like to try the Andriod but worry that the radio may cause unknow issue to my HD2, eg phone,3g, or wifi, etc.

Very slow uploads over Wifi with Froyo (SpeedTest)

Hi,
For some reason when I run a speed test over Wifi, I get very slow upload speeds of 0.2 kB/s (downloads are fine at 400+ kB/s).
I am using a Buffalo router with DD WRT firmware and all other devices work fine with it.
This occurs with stock Froyo. I recently installed Enomther's ROM, and still have the exact same issue.
Any ideas?
Have you tried flashing a new radio? I just flashed the Korean radio that is on the forums and it doubled my upload speeds.
Thanks.
I forgot to mention but I'm already using the 5.08 Korean radio. Come to think of it, I wonder if installing that radio might coincide with the beginning of my issue. Might try downgrading if I can't find anything else.
Yeah, results with the Korean radio seem to be mixed bag. My download speed went down a tiny bit, but uploads soared for me. Some people it has no effect, so try the stock radio again and see if that fixes it.
Tried downgrading. Same result. Really puzzled about this...
Hmmm, maybe try connecting to another Wifi access point and see if you get the same results.

[Q] net issue

Ive done a lil searching & havnt been able to come across this issue Im having..
Just updated to froyo (3.26.651.5) with the latest radio & pri, had whatever the phone shipped with prior. I then rooted using unrevoked 3.21 & since then my internet has been very lagy & intermittent. Most times takes a few seconds for a page to come up after clicking the link. Ive noticed it dropping the 3g connections a lot. Before updating to froyo I did the prl hack however this no longer works as dialing ##775# does absolutely nothing now.
Anyone have any suggestions, would going to any older radio help perhaps?
