Radio Rom roundup (determening best radio for each country/provider)

[tetsuo55]

The goal of this thread is to find out which radio is best for your region and provider.

We will have to look at the following

-Reception strenght for both gsm and 3g.
-Speed of GPS lock
-Batterylife

I have added a poll, the poll will be continent based, but you can post your exact country and provider in your commentry post.

if we can get enough information or see a red line that makes things easyer we could add a wiki page with recomended radios for each country or provider

In New Zealand (on Vodafone NZ), and strangely with the Dopod ANZ WM6 ROM and 1.46.30.11 radio incoming calls don't work, I can dial out just fine and all other radio functions (BT, WIFI, GPS) work perfectly. Just nobody can call me - they get a disconnected signal which is very strange! Tried fixing the phone to only GSM or only 3G, neither of which helped.

I would have thought that since the Dopod ANZ ROM was released for the ANZ region the 1.46.30.11 radio that came with it would work nere.

Went back to the 1.38 radio ROM which fixed the problem. Haven't yet tried 1.41 or 1.50 to see if they fix the problem.

In North America using 1.46.00. It works as well as 1.38 did, however GPS fix is twice as fast now.

Rogers Canada
-------------------
1.50.08.111
1.46.xxxx

Sometimes calls are dropped after 1 ring and sent straight to voicemail. Sometimes phone doesn't even ring and goes straight to voicemail. GPS reception is great. Haven't noticed any difference in call quality with either of these radios.

1.38.00.11

Seems to be most stable for me. Doesn't not have the same issues as the newer radios, however GPS reception isn't as good.

[dta1974]

T-Mobile USA.These ones work fine.
1.35.00.11
1.38.00.11
1.41.00.11
1.46.00.11
1.46.30.11

This version:1.50.08.11
Sends my calls straight to voicemail and sometimes the phone only rings once.

[tetsuo55]

Up till now it would seem that 1.50.08.111 is the best version to choose by default, and only if you have problem then you should downgrade to 1.46.xxxx

ACCORDING TO MY OPINION:
each official os require different drivers and/or dll to access to radio rom and one of the most important is rilgsm.dll and related exes.
More or less, we actually have 3 kinds of cooked rom, derived from official anz, sea and new anz with different radio roms. Each one should use the radio rom shipped with its own os, but as to seem that all the people here go always to the latest revision number without thinking to the drivers they are using.
The latest radio 1.50 has been shipped by a local provider probably with special setting, but the people seem to go to this version just becouse it's the latest revision. Why don't you trust what your rom cookers are suggesting about radio roms?
For example, it seem that the most part of the people are using axel roms on its devices, and axel includes Radio v1.46.00.11 to its own rom. But according to this poll, most part of the people are using 1.50 radio.
Please think about this...

Yeah, I have the same problem with my P3600. I have upgraded to radio rom 1.46 and people can not call me anymore. I am downgrading to 1.38 now. I have put wm5 back but the radio rom didn't change. it is still 1.46.

[fdorr]

And South America? it doesnt exist?

[tetsuo55]

There can only be 10 options, so south america and everything else not mentioned goes under the other option

[hajali]

Tried 1.38.00.11 .. that comes with mun rom...
it was working perfectly ...

then unfortunately i upgraded to 1.46.30.11 ...

which sucks big time ... voice is bad ... reception is bad .. and gps is the same ...

didn't try other roms ...

on my way to reinstall 1.38

[taiseer999]

I for one never noticed any difference :) they all perform the same way, its only a version number that changes in my device

[vdias]

What about Portugal?

Im still using the olg 1.46 one...

[tetsuo55]

If thats the case why are you still using Radio-Rom: 1.46.30.11 ? could you explain?


What about Portugal?

Im still using the olg 1.46 one...

Last time i checked portugal was part of europe

Yeah simply becuase I am tired of moving between different versions just trying to improve the GPS first fix as people claim the fix is faster with every new radio rom, and I got sick of it and that was the last version I used....

I would have had the same question coming to me with any number I had put in my signature....ha

[tetsuo55]

thanks for that answer

[Nighthawk2050]

Can we pin this and other Polls?

[italjan]

I am using "Test.build.gps.32.75.7020" Its was made for specific network provider. With standard radio rom my phone was missing calls and sms messages.

Hello guys!

I flashed 1.5xxx radio to my Trini, and my IMEI has changed!!!Do you have any idea, how to change it back? My IMEI is checked every time, I leave the factory, I can not leave it like this

[SuperSport]

I found the best balance of battery and reliability to be in 1.46.30.11

I'm in Northern California, USA on ATT network. And just for the record, when Cooked Roms use the Newer Network Wizard, or Newer Connection Wizard, the settings will not work for my network. I have to install the older HTC Network Wizard Version 1.0 (Build 29982.1.01.7). That one makes it work perfectly.

I am currently reside in Ukraine.
Among 3 of 4, unfortunately only 1.38.00.11 works with USSD support (e.g. *101# to check balance).

I haven't tried 1.46.00.11. Will try it in the weekend and report.

Currently I'm using 1.38.00.11 with FInixNOver 3.1.1.

##
Updated: I tried all Radio version again and only 1.38.00.11 works with USSD support.
