New Radio version: 02.47.11

[cidriver]

I just finish to download the new radio version for our devices. I can not tell you my impressions about the new radio version, but you can download in Wiki, placed on a folder.

[pvenkat]

1. It looks like it is a G4 Radio ROM. Will it work on the G3 version? If not, where can I find the latest Radio ROM for the G3 version?

2. Does it enable Blackberry Connect support on the Prophet by any chance?

Thanks.

Isn't this the Radio ROM from the Wizard? There is a topic in the Prophet part of the forum that discusses this..

I thought the latest original Radio version for the Prophet was 2.30.21.

I also tried the 2.47.11 on my Prophet. Reception was better, but battery life was drammatic :(

[SecureGSM]

Wizard, Tornado, Prophet, Oxygen, Artemis, Excalibur:

all these models are based on pretty much same platform.

Latest Radio ( GSM firmaware) for these devices that I am aware of is:

GSM 2.67.90

Just thought that I will let you this know.

[cidriver]

Yes I noticed that the reception is much better but at cost of the battery duration. Let me still making more tests about these new Radio.

[purp]

my radio rom is 2.19.21 how and and how I would get the newst stable?q

[cidriver]

The cost is very expensive, at least for me. Just one night, without calls, or touch the Prophet full charge and in the morning the batery meter is almost 26 % less !!!!!!!! Guauuuuu! is to much, you don't think so?

Let me still testing.

[onesolo]

Yeah, I already tried this radio rom on my S200 and it drains a lot of batt. I don't recommend it to anyone...
I revert to the other radio rom that is floating around here, but I think that also drains a little more that the official ones....

[purp]

so which radio rom version we/I should use? And where can I download?

[cidriver]

I foud something is not right. When I like to turn the device on, (right button) to make a call phone or make a consult or whatever, the device is dead, so I have to make a soft reset. That's pass me very often, so I decide to revert to other radio version, I mean, to 02.30.21.

My impression about this Radio Version:

Pros: Better signal in all aspect.

Contra: Battery duration, inestable.

So, end of my private testing.

[SecureGSM]

ok. this is something that I would like to check:

The standby mode power consumption is 21mA which it doesn't meet the spec.(but if pressing the key lock into
standby mode, the power consumption is 2.1mA.)

please keep your keypad locked at all the time and see if that will improve battery life.

I wish that I could explain better ;)



this should be valid for all devices with this radio. not only for wizard.

Thanks.

Hello,
I use a prophet whith an older radio 02.30.11.
Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?
I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?

edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?

[coolfire74]

I tested this radio ROM long time ago when it was first posted here. But I changed back to 02.30.21 after one day.

It was a terrible experience, the device automatically reset during conversations very often. One day, I had to reset the prophet for more than 10 times!!!!!

So, I went back to 02.30.21 right away. And I also warned others not to install this radio ROM in this forum, too. I can not believe you guys are still so brave to take the risk.

@andrew_sh

Yes, that is correct. this bug present in 02.47.xx radio and is fixed in later radios.

I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?

Good! I have same result on all my test devices.

edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?

I have not meassured it myself. Information in bold is per ... technical documentation ;)

What about the 2.67.90 rom?
Has anyone installed it on a prophet?
Any results?

[SecureGSM]

@andere_sh

2.67.90 is fine on Excalibur, Oxygen and Artemis..Really. much better than 2.47.xx

I'm back to radio version 2.30.21 and everything going like a charm, fantastic.

[purp]

were can I download for my prophet 2.30.21?Mine is still running:
2.19.21

[mccune]

You can find that Radio ROM on the FTP ;) Or use the search...

[purp]

found it, for others:
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/PDAMobiz_Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.30.21.exe

[orazur]

Where is it possible to download the GSM 2.67.90 version of SecureGSM member ?

[Jesterz]

To clean up the mess in the root of the uploads folder, new location:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/RadioRom/

I cannot find the 2.67.90 radio upgrade anywhere. Anybody an idea where this might be on the FTP?

[cidriver]

Did you found it? I saw the radio version you mentioned on wiki. Take a look!

[dannyoneill]

2.20.21 is the only rom that was stable on my jamin be it the latest official rom or the 16mb aku2.3 one.

I tried 2.30.21 but the entire device was just unstable, it would turn off after 30 secs like my power setting told it to but then it wouldnt turn on, I have to reset it. 6 times in one day at its worst. Put 2.20.21 back on and it was rock solid.

[Doodle]

I have still not found the new radio version, also not on Wiki. Anybody got it?

[cidriver]

I have no idea, where are you looking for, but I saw it many times.

The new version is under testing for the Prophet, not working so far

Yes be aware!!!

I'm back to radio version 2.30.21 and everything going like a charm, fantastic.

Hi cidriver!, I see we are going much the same way,
I "downgraded" Radio ROM from 2.47.11 to 2.30.21, but haven't fixed things: my Prophet gets dead overnight, with a "full to 0" battery in just 8 hours or so, or it disconnects itself, forcing a soft reset to get it back to life... and yes, I removed the battery for hours to check things, battery is not the issue.
I read some other people has had the same probles, but so far it seems to happen with almost any Radio ROM version.
Any idea how to check that? downgrading a bit more?
Thanks for your comments.

[Jesterz]

Sounds more like a ROM problem you have, not a radio rom, 2.30 is very stable here, and other people are saying the same.
Try putting a "clean" rom on your phone

Thanks, I did at least... 20 ROM changes in the last two days. Will retry 2.30 radio.

Hello,

do you think that I can replace my radio only?
I have an italian rom 2.13.9.21 and ipl 2.15.001 (g4).
My actual radio is 21.07.20 - can I eventually return to this version if something goes wrong?

Thanks,

Radio ROM are no problem to change. Take care, Numbers above 2.30.21 seem to be more unstable.

Thanks for answering.
Just for confirmation: Can I replace the radio regardless of the language or what else?

Thanks

Yes, Radio is the only part language independent.

[stamina]

Thank you again.
