Troubles Downloading With Radio 3.27

[quserpa]

I'm currently using DCD's WM6.1 ROM which is excellent!!! and the new 3.27 Radio on my XV6800. For some reason I am having troubles downloading files from the Internet. I've tried to download Live Search and it get's about a 1/4 way done and it halts. Does anybody know a cause/fix for this? Apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I did search and could not find a solution.

I've been bouncing around between everyone's 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs and kitchens and get the same thing when Live Search tries to upgrade to the new version. It gets about 1/4 of the way in IE and hangs.

I assume there must really be an upgrade, so it would be nice if someone can find it another way so the builders and cookers can add it in from the get go. :)

Is your problem just with any download ie do you have the issue with WIFI or just OTA download?

I and others are having issues just with OTA data. No solution yet.

This is the reason I downgraded away from the very first 3.16 release :(

When the download stalls, the signalbars vanish for a moment.

It happened so often that I couldn't deal with it any longer :(

Same reasone why i'm back to 2.17 and loving it. GPS is cool but not at the expense of internet connectivity. i'm sure they will figure this out soon- hoping for Feb 28.

Unfortunately it appears to be happening with all file downloads.

I have the exact same issue. Has anyone reflashed the radio to see if it would fix it?

[dwertz]

I am having the same issues. When I am pinging websites have a high latency 270ms (should be like 35-40ms) and I also getting 1 Request Timed Out every 3 to 4 packets. That is most like why downloads stop.

My guess is it is the Radio 3.27 at issue not the Roms themselves.

Same problem here with Windows Live search and other downloads. Its iffy iffy on many things. I stream internet radio a lot and its not as solid as before. It drops more often now and many times doesn't even buffer the whole way. Can we run the older radio with the newest dcd rom?

According to the instructions provided here, no.

greetings. i also downloaded the 3.16 rom, and have had troubles with downloads using ie. i dont know if anyone else has tried opera 8.65, but downloading works for me with that browser. its not a solution to the overall problem, but at least it works. my apologies if this has been discussed already. dschoenike

I have also experienced this problem. I am running the leaked ROM with the new radio. PIE stalls on almost all downloads (except the smallest of them and even that is sketchy).

Other observations:
- While my city is shown as having REV A. coverage, my download speeds have also decreased with the new radio.
- When connected to the internet through WiFi, the download problem does not exist. Switching back to EV causes the problem, immediately.
- Contrary to other, less logical poster's suggestions, this has nothing to do with the addition of GPS drivers. If you turn GPS off, this problem still exists.

Just my $0.02.

What are our options at this Point? If we want to download, Whats the best Radio and Rom to use?

I just downloaded from the Resco site utilizing IE and it downloaded a 1.4 Meg file fairly quickly. IE hangs on Live Search Download on My Device as well.

I had the problems without ever attempting to download live search. Some transfers would be just fine, but I'd say 90% of them failed.

It's great that people are working on new roms with better versions of WM, but if they are all going to be based off a bad radio it doesn't help me :(

heh, these problems with the 3.27 radio are prolly what made sprint push back their original release date of the new update...
