not 1.54.30.10

Reason? I'm using 1.54.01.00 and I lose service at least twice a day. I have to turn the phone off and back on just for it to find signal again...so annoying...

not 1.54.30.10You know, it would be nice if just ONCE, instead of this stock response you give everyone who asks about a radio, you actually offered up some information that someone could use. For example, not everyone knows that if you use 1.54.30.10 you are stuck with it ... granted, it's mainly because not everyone reads the forums, but if you are going to bother responding, then at least give the newbs somthing to go on.

I am having radio problems myself since I upgraded to the cooked full version of WM6.1 and am also looking for the best solution.

I am using 1.54.01 now too, and my radio reception in Ohio with AT&T is worse than the WM6 2.25 AT&T version, and battery life is worse too. I am going to try to downgrade to 1.47.02 which was listed on the site with the WM6.1 to see if it works better.

Here's an update ...

1.47.02 was also a bust for me. I didn't test battery life, but the reception was bad enough I decided to try something else.

I finally was able to figure out that the radio that comes with AT&T's WM6 Desktop Updater is 1.54.27.00. I have decided to go back to that radio which was working well when I was on WM6.

Sorry, but I don't know how to extract a radio ROM, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere separately, so I had to go the long way to get back to it. There is probably an easier way to do this, but I'm a newb on flashing, so this is what I had to do:

1) Hard SPL the Treo. Note, when I did this to mine it did not go through step 3, so it did not re-flash the radio, and it kept the SPL version on the device. This is why I went looking for a new radio.
2) Revert to WM6 using the SD card update method. Get it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402).
3) Install the WM6.1 ROM using the SD card update method. Get it here (http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=41062).

This radio has given me the best results for AT&T in central Ohio as far as radio stability and signal strength. YMMV, but I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along.

If anyone has the skills to extract this radio (1.54.27.00) from the main ROM, it might be of help to others.

A lot of members has the skill and can extract the radio fine. The problem is, they now got themselves a kaiser, some got polaris and others even got a Diamond to play with and as I speak, they're now busy playing with their new toys so, I don't think they will bother extracting the radio 1.27 from AT&T just as much as no one even bothered to help those who are stuck with radio 1.54xxx.:D

How do I tell what radio version I am using?

When I go to the about in the settings. it does not say anything about radio. it says

Software version:
TREO750-2.18-VFE
Hardware version:
A
.....
Firmware version:
1.47.02.000
CC-Cap:
CFG-AU-009

does this mean 1.47.02.000 this the radio version?
