digitaly signed by HTC. Real deal.

[randomelements]

That's a full rom I take it.
Anyone extracted the radio yet? I would but I'm out at greyhound racing ;)

Thanks for the find :)

[jcespi2005]

Well, here you have the Radio extracted from the ROM, and packaged with CustomRUU ready to install.

Or

Be sure you have HardSPL 2.1 before you install this radio upgrade.

This radio rom is better then 1,50???

Too soon to say this, only know is newer...

Need some test to see how works in comparison with 1.50 version.

[Specialosio]

The 1.50 is just for gms, this support the umts?

Only version control number from HTC, i suppose, but not sure.

If you take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289173 you'll see that this number is not representative.

[SL]

I did some basic test, seems to be better for me.
On 1.50, my phone ring after the 2nd or 3rd ring (dialing from my home phone) which results in alot of missed calls. (The voice mail kicked in after the 3rd ring)
On 1.48, my phone starts to ring after the second ring. On 1.51, it starts to ring after the first ring. I think this may in fact reduced the missed calls. Will try for a few more days before knowing once more calls are received.

Hi, SL.

I don't know if the Radio is the only cause for the delay, cuase seems the file format for the ringtone and other things can affect too.

I posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1440403&postcount=266 some tests i do to see how my hermes works receiving calls ...

If you make the same test, post your results to see if can obtain more info.

I've noticed different radio behavious for the radio roms ending with a .10 compared to those ending with .00. I suspect the xx.10 series are meant for worldwide usage while the xx.00 series are more US-specific.

but never got a definitive answer.

Yes, you can load this Radio ROM with any OS version. They are independent.

You still with WM5?

[franks1701]

Tank you very mutch for your reply.
I tried official HTC WM6 for two weeks and I have downgraded to WM5 for some reasons:
1) In some situations is slower (but really not mutch )
2) SMS menagement is very unconfortable
3) I don't need some new features offered by new S.O.
4) More important... Thanks to your guides I have found courage to hack my phone (it has been wonderfull) so perheaps I will upgrade my phone another time in future... ;)
"Live long and prosper" to you and your forum.
P.S. Sorry for my very bad english :P

on orange israel
i get the same HSDPA speeds with this radio 1.51 and with radio 1.50 ,
930-960 kbit/sec

and GPRS speeds 35-44 kbit/sec

[kipe]

confirmed, the radio just can't sit still with HSDPA connection, keep changing to 3g then back to H & so on & so forth.. no internet connection as a result.. ( am on Malaysia' Celcom 3G/ 2100 UMTS Band)

Works fine for me.

I have tested using GPRS only, and 3G with and without HSDPA, and works every time. Can sync with my exchange server using push mail, and navigate with Internet Explorer in all situations.

Seems a little better coverage than 1.50 for me, here with Orange Spain.

This radio is very good.
I have 1 bar extra reception even on the HDSPA network!
Did some calling without any problems, the problem with the SMS ringtone is gone(it wouldn't play sometimes when I received an SMS) and internet works like a charm. Almost instantly switches from UMTS to HSDPA (with better reception!)
Really like this radio!!

[mean-machine]

I'm on T-Mobile UK. Everything is working fine, but when I connect my PC to the Internet via Internet Sharing it works for a while, then I can see H, but I cannot open any pages. After coming back to 1.50 everything is as it should be.

I'm quite happy with this radio. Typically I've had to keep going back to the 1.40 but this one has been quite nice.

I have an extra bar. I surfed today while getting new tires for my car using Internet Sharing for about an hour and a half, no problems.
Phone rings on the second ring...
Battery life is the next test (at least it doesn't get hot :D)

Tested in Israel for both GSM operator.
Partner (Orange) - working OK for HSDPA, UMTS and GPRS.
Cellcom - working OK for HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE.

Personally, I will stay with this even that I can't tell if it's better than 1.50.

[ericc191]

So this is the exact same 3.54 TyTN rom that was released but, just with a newer Radio?

I had 1 main problem with 1.50. It overheated on me a lot! Can someone confirm how hot it gets tethering and using bluetooth at the same time. Also charging on the wall and using bluetooth. That's when my phone would begin to overheat on 1.50

Like many others, let's hear some battery life feedback once someone has tested it. :)

1.50 overheated bad. 1.51 seems to have fixed that.

but in your opinion, 3g speeds/ect, battery life, and overall reception are better in 1.51?

[Quist]

This one's a dud. Don't bother installing it.

I was having some roaming issues using 1.50 that may be operator related, but I was about to test 1.47 with my operator (having read that other's had better experiences with it than 1.50), when I saw 1.51.

After installing 1.51 all seemed to work fine. The Internet through the unit itself seemed snappier, even. I tested the "incoming-calls-with-HSDPA" issue and had no problem although it seemed as if the data connection was paused while the call came in whereas it's never done that before or with other radios. After a soft reset I noticed the radio took a long time to boot. My entire system came online including the today screen before I was asked to enter my SIM pin code. This could cause issues with any autostart 3rd party apps.

Next test was to put a post here using Internet connection sharing. Boy what a jip. The phone seemed to see a connection the entire time, but the PC kept saying I lost the connection. This may of course be my PC on the fritz, but all this plus the fact that I saw no reception improvement led me to continue and revert back to 1.47 to test that.

My operator is 3-Sweden and I'm running Satin Normal with loads of 3rd party gadgets plus some tweaks to bring it up to Schapps 3.57 speed.

I'll be waiting for a newer radio or returning to 1.47 or 1.50.

[iselfdevi]

so far so good!

[Visini]

but in your opinion, 3g speeds/ect, battery life, and overall reception are better in 1.51?

I was home sick today and I was getting push mail quicker than my vpn connection. Reception seems better. Battery life is still undetermined as I was connected to power most of the day. Also answers quicker for me. Still concerned what will happen when I roam out of 3G coverage.

[iselfdevi]

after installin 1.51 i wasnt able to use internet. so i went to 1.50
