View Full Version : Forget best ROM...info on Radio??

So I know that ROM choice is a matter of preference...but what about Radio version?
I assume (haven't tried i yet) that the ROM is flashed separately from the radio (as it was on my 6700)?
Is there a good post somewhere regarding the pros and cons of each radio version? I could not find one...
Should I assume that the latest version is the best, and if so...what is the latest and where do I find it? (again list of all radio versions would be nice if anyone has a link to thread)?
I have a Tilt BTW with AT&T...so if there is a particular version superior for my service that info is appreciated.
Thanks again!

Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as: The latest Radio is the best. It also isn't as simple as: A particular version works best with the Kaiser. Another factor to take into account will be your location, as the radio will determine what kind of signal you get when using your phone/GPS/GPRS/etc. Your best option is to try each of them out and see which one is best for you, i.e:
Which seems gives you the best signal?
Which seems to give you the best Battery Life?
As it seems you're new to the Kaiser, you should know that nothing is as straight forward as it seems :D:p

I'm running NoThrills WM 6.1, with the only compatible radio, and I have no issues with 3G/HSDPA in Philadelphia and South Jersey. Even amongst the steel beams at Citizen's Bank Park last night, I was getting full bars with HSDPA available the whole time.

I'm using 1.65.14.06, but I am not sure which other ROMs it may be compatible with. At the time that NoThrills released his 6.1 ROM, it would only work with his because part of it is OS Version dependent.

Is this radio capable with stock TILT? I'm currently using that at the moment while I familiarize myself with the device, and would like to recieve HSDPA and am in the philly area. I have applied the necessary kaiser tweaks, etc. but still no H on my screen and mid range 3G bars.

No. This radio requires a WM 6.1 ROM and AT&T has yet to release their official upgrade from 6.0. HTC just released their versions yesterday, so AT&T will probably have something within a week or two.

I don't think dutty's rom has H icon, so even if you're running h, you wouldn't know

For all of you who don't have an H, only a 3G. Make sure you've enabled HSDPA. The simplest way is to install "kaisertweak." You should all be useing it anyway because it's such a great tool.

"H" means HSDPA (2nd Generation after GPRS), "3G" means UMTS, (3rd Generation), i think so...
Because ive a "H" with my non UMTS-compatible, and a "3G" with my UMTS-Compatible phones...only a idea...:rolleyes:

I'm running Dutty's Apr29v2 with the 1.64.08.21 radio and I have 3G and H signal in Santa Ana, CA... I also tried the Niki radio, 1.58.16.27 and had great service w/ 3g & H. Battery life is a little better with the 1.64.08.21 from what I saw but gonna go back and try that radio again soon... Let you know...

and to those running Dutty's ROM- there's an option to enable HSDPA in the connections menu and/or you can use the registry hack to enable the icon.
For what it's worth, the stock tilt ROM never gave me the "H" icon- it always said 3G no matter where I was

My stock ROM displayed 3G for about 1 day. Then I resumed feeding my flashing addition left over from my Wizard and haven't seen anything other than H for 8 months now.
