Radio Roms, which is which?

[jincongz]

I see many at this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade
And i wonder which one should i use...

I currently have 2.19.21

If you do tell me, can you also tell me the pros and cons, such as battery life, and signal strength, as i've read somewhere that the 69 one burns battery

[jincongz]

Anyone out there?

[mr_yellow]

No one is out there.. They're all in the WM6 forum flashing new roms.. =)

I've been on this forum for only 6 months and I've seen a lot of new radio roms introduced and I've *never ever* seen a list fixes that the new radio rom has. Usually all the radio roms are stolen from other official device roms (namely Wizard) since wizard and prophet have similar hardware.

So take your pick. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that says XXX rom causes more battery usage, and YYY rom fixes bluetooth, etc etc...

Best thing for you to do is to just upgrade to the latest one (2.69.21) and see if you run into any "phone" related bugs. When you do, Start downgrading backwards one at a time until you're back to 2.19.21.. =) cause that's essentially what I did.. =)

OK thanks, but I still want to know which is which...

[alfOS]

ok, for me, here in my country, where my service provider uses 1800 mhz gsm band, i noticed that v2.69 drained my batt.
downgraded to v2.47 (the one provided with the qtek upgrade to 2.2) and it's working very good. and great signal strenght.

it also recognizes the provider's name. that v2.69 did not.

edit:before, the bluetooth didn't work well(file transfers). now it is. but not sure if it is for v2.47, can't confirm.

after downgrade the radio rom to any version, phone will restart.. do i still have to do hard reset?

no need, its separate from the rom

[jincongz]

K. Thanks all. So it seems i should use the .47 for now.

[benjat]

after trying all the rom.. only 2.69 seem ok for my prophet.. but if i go indoor, no network! what should be the problem? when outdoor, only got 2 / 3 bar.. then drop to 1 bar.

[jincongz]

Try using an older one then...

Did any of you succesfully flashed their RadioROM with Vista? I've tried every known solution but the RUU keeps crashing.

[jincongz]

I've heard that any older than 19 doesn't work well with fido, so 19 is fido.

v2.20.21 works the best for fido :) I've been using 19 for like 6 month and 20 for 5 month, 20 is better.
