Have you at all read the forum before flashing?
Lot's of people experiencing the same problem. If you still went ahead and flashed, that's your problem.

Agreed. This is a common problem that there seems to be no fix for except getting your phone replaced. Even people restoring back to original factory conditions (ROM and Radio) still have the lower signal.
You have to be aware of the side effects with any ROM Dish

solving the problem for 100EU
You can solve the problem really easy... By moving somewhere else... Actually I moved from the 2nd floor to the 8th and it helped OK seriously now: I'm using RADIO version 1.64.08.21, Protocol version: 25.74.40.02H, WM 6.1 19209.1.0.2, HARD SPL v2 and 3G is OFF and everything works well and the signal strength is full of course.

try to disable the 3G functionnality (if you don't need it of course). My signal strength is always high for me since I disabled it.

Re-flash original ROM, re-flash original SPL, then, Hard reset.

the signal doesnt change only because of software, maybe the scale changed...

i tried flashing original rom and spl no good news! how can i disable 3G????

where can I get original rom and spl?

another thing might work as well.
switch your phone settings from AUTO to hard GSM instead of WCDMA this might help a bit as well.
I did the easy route: go back and claimed a new phone because the reception on this phone is bad.

Changing from Auto to GSM on the phone band settings I went from 2 to 4 bars on the signal. Makes me think that the issue is only visual and that there is no real change in signal strength.

Right now I see 2 people who are flashing the Russian ROM and report that after that the signal strength is normal again? One guy with 2 posts, another with 3 posts... this is currently not making me comfortable to try it myself unless someone with a longer presence on this forum is confirming that it works.
I saw another guy who said he has nothing to lose and wants to try it... I'll wait and see his results... maybe it really works?

The signal quality varies much from 3G to GSM. All depends on the network coverage. In the same spot you can have good GSM signal and bad 3G coverage. Roughly speaking, there are 2 antennas on the same network cell: 1 for GSM and another for 3G. Theoretically, the best coverage is achieved by GSM, since it was the first protocol used, and the network opperator added 3G later.
On the end look for call quality, not number of bars ...

Seems, you can save your 100 Euros and just flash this
Murata Radio Rom which was descovered as fixing the issue
over in the Reception issue poll thread.
Olioaglio

you could try this russian radio rom. it helped many users who had the same problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388823
Just download the rom, flash it (it is in russian), then flash any rom you want without a radio and it should work.

@gishan
first, enjoy your strong reception polaris, mate
I think the best idea to show your contribution would be donating
some Euros to the xda-developers for making this all
possible by giving us this REALLY great forum!!
Donation Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
Olioaglio

Yes this really is a great forum, it has helped so many people with their problems with their expensive devices, like it did with yours today.
However I recommend you donate (out of the 100 euros) a bit of the money to the maker of the ROM that helped you, and the majority of the money to XDA Developers (say, 25 euros to the maker of the ROM and 75 euros to XDA Developers).
XDA Developers will only work if people like the maker of the ROM contribute to it, so it seems fair to share the wealth.
Its good to see that you are sticking to your promise, a while back someone asked for help and offered £40 as a reward and when the help was given (it was quite a difficult problem) they never paid up.

Radio 2.12.50.02_2 Enable SIMULTANEOUS Call & Internet

This might sound noob, but just want to inform those who are using HD2 to flash this Radio so that u can actually surf & talk at the same time.

Thats not Radio dependent but network dependent...Are you on a 3G/H network ?

Yes.
But prior to flashing to this radio, even on the same ROM, I was not able to do that before flashing to this Radio.
Thats why I tot this radio actually enable/unlock this capability

Mayb your network has updated there systems....

im on 2.10 and i can surf/talk at the same time too, so that's rly not radio dependant

i always hv this feature with any radio

had to chime in with my 2 cents; i have to agree surfing and chatting at the same time is available as ling as you have 3g, when you have edge you are not able to. that is dependent on network not radio but maybe updating your radio gave you a better signal. either way, its good to hear you are able to now.

I am using this radio rom and when i receive phone call, i am losing internet connection. It's not depending on ROM.

Not by any chance T-mobile in the Netherlands? They just upgraded their 3G network.

this isn't so common for me some roms when a phone call comes in data connection drops on energy rom it hadn't done this but roms before it would drop connection so i don't know i was under the impression that it was rom dependent that's why i have kept energy rom for so long if others had this feature i would've changed to a rom with better program memory

so it doesn't matter about the rom then?

Having problems with 3G

So I've been having issues where my 3G connection would sometime be at a 3 bar, go down to a 1 bar or a 2 bar and then it would switch to the EDGE network and then sometimes the "G" network.
Is this supposed to happen?
Also if anyone near the Mt. Prospect area has the same issues it'd be nice to know that.

Try experimenting with different radios. Check the radio thread in this section if you're not sure on how to do that.

All right, found the thread, also how do I check what radio I currently have?

Settings tab, About Phone (all the way at the bottom), Software Info.
Also, make sure you read about which radios are compatible with your phone on the radio thread. Flashing an incompatible radio is probably the most common way to brick your phone.

Found it, and should I get a higher radio or a lower radio?
Also any thread for how to install radios and what I should watch out for?

Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
That thread will guide you through your first ROM/Radio flash. They both use the same method. You don't have to change your ROM to change your Radio. Just read carefully first, and make sure you are using a T-Mo US HD2 compatible radio:
X.XX.50.XX (as long as it's 2.07.XX and up)
Edit: I'm assuming you have a TMOUS HD2

One last thing, will changing my radio void any warranty I have on the phone?

Not sure, but probably. You can always change it back to the one that came with your phone before you take it back.

How is your radio working so far?
Do you have 4 bars on 3G all the time?

At my job, I do. At my house I get two bars if I leave the phone flat on a table. I'm experimenting with the newest 2.12 radio. So far the reception seems to be the same, but it usually takes a day or two for the signal to "settle"...if the battery usage is better I might keep it.

Does this happen everywhere or just at home? You might just be in a bad or borderline area. Try going to www.tmobiletowers.com to get an indication .

This is only at my house, haven't really tried it outside, but I can get a really good connection when it's about 2 AM.

Short answer: definitely not.
Longer answer: poke around here and find the other threads dedicated to this topic.

Struggling for signal...

I'm on O2 UK and my HD2 has all of a sudden started struggling for signal in areas I used to be have full bars. For example, when sat in my flat messages don't come through for ages, or I can't ring out/accept calls. It's doing my head in a bit.
Can a radio I installed do this, or will it be down to my network?

It could very well do, try a new radio compatable with your ROM and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks mate, I'm using duttys at the mo, and I did switch from 2.10.x to 2.09.x just to see if it made any odds, but it didn't. I could try an older one.
Cheers

The radio in my sig made a slight improvement to my signal, might not help you as Im not on o2 but its compatible with your rom, Im using the same one....
might be worth a try..........

Thanks for that buddy, I'll give it a try.

[Q] Newbie Just Got A HD2

I have just got a Used Tmobile Unlocked HD2 today it is running Android but don't know if its from SD Card or from the internal memory.
But I want dual boot WM7.5 (Mango) with the Android.
No Idea how to do and which HSPL, Radio & Rom Should I choose for both Android & WM 7.5 ( Mango)
Just need a suggestion and if there is any link, so that I can get all the info as newbie, it will be really helpful for me....
Thank....s in advance
P.S I have not found any thread for my ans. & that's the reason I have create a new thread, If I have done any mistake sorry for that.

which HSPL, & Radio
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you say t mobile, do you mean t mo USA? Only the USA version (the "tmous") is different.
Always and only 2.08.hspl for android and wp7.
Radio, there are two families of radios, 2.xx.51.x and 2.xx.50.x,, (shortened to ..50.. and ..51.. ) take special note of the 50 and 51. For magldr, android, wp7 you MUST have a ..50.. radio, and the 2.xx.50 xx must be higher than 06.
To keep it simple, if you DO have a tmous, the radio will already work. (..50.. radios are tmous radios)
If you have a regular hd2 (all white hard key lights) then go flash 2.15.50 radio.
If you do have a tmous NEVER EVER flash a ..51.. radio, or a non tmous stock winmo rom, or ..50.. radios lower than 2.06.50, because they will always brick tmous phones.

Yes it is Tmob USA version
Its different??

Thank you for your reply Sir
Can you please suggest me a hspl & radio for my tmous, I have found HSPL4 from your signature & the radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
that link (1st radio of that link) i.e Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**: MultiUpload
Can I use those or it will brick??
Thank you again

use hspl4 to set 2.08.hspl (android / wp7 will ONLY work with 2.08.hspl) and yes that radio is fine.

Maybe it needs to network unlocked. Did you have an unlock code?
or it could be hardware related:

But let me tell you that now my HD2 is working like charm, no issues at all...
and I am really happy to be a HD2 Owner .

I have a another question here...
I flasher that 6.5 os at the day 1.
Using Mango Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.2
and ICS from SD
But somehow I found there is two types of radio...
1. Hardware Radio.
2. Software radio.
As I came to know Radio version ....51.... will brick the Tmous, and that's why we have to flash with ....50.... radios. And I think this is the Hardware Radio Part... If I am wrong please let me know.
But...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21988711&postcount=1876
Here Dxdy has given different types of Hardware as well as Software radio link along with latest rom.
Now please tell me If I use
Hardware Radio= Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.
And Software Radio radio =5.51
Will this combination brick my TMOUS HD2??
Thanks in advance
