The EU radios are not a problem for the device. They also work in the US. The problem is rather to get them flashed. I couldn't really swap radios. My device just didn't accept the flash.

I've also noticed it's gotten better so something is changing somewhere. But still the problem persists.

FWIW, I've rooted every device I've had since the G1 (6 devices[G1, N1, G2, MT4G, MT4GS and 1S]) and never had any issue initiating a warranty exchange or getting warranty service.

Just curious what issues did you see? I'm wanting to try flashing the EU radio but I use TWRP recovery.

It flashed alright with success message but the radio didn't change. The chip wouldn't accept the write. Probably S-OFF required.


I've spent some two hours waiting at the hospital today and had enough time to check out the connection under bad signal conditions.
I must say, the HOS radio of the latest EU ruu is having severe problems with keeping the connection alive. Even my HD2 with gingerbread was a lot better. This phone suxx with bad signal. And this is not in the US where this problem has mostly been reported. This is in Germany.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I really like this phone a lot but with the signal dropping so much I really want to change phones. I bought it off wirefly so in pretty much stuck with it for the next two years.

It happens to me too sometimes. I just flashed the latest European radio and it worked fine for me.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried three different radios and several different roms and now i'm back to stock by using a restore I had before going crazy on my phone with the available roms... It seems that the stock rom drops signal as well. It just elegantly drops the connection and then reconnects whereas all the custom roms I've tried don't. Not sure what to do... I mostly purchased the One S for its hardware.

These are the radio's I've tried and they all have much of the same problem on my phone.
Radio from RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2
0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L
Radio from OTA_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2
0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L
Radio from Stock T-Mobile US
0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L

If anyone knows of a fix for this, I'd be more than happy to try it.

After hours with t-mobile personal technician they figure out they will replace my phone. Phone was bought on craig's list - something like e bay but free - and what's interesting T-Mobile will exchange for new one. We will see what's the story with new one

good luck to everybody

I`m having signal issues, as well. Whereas my wife`s phone has very good connection whatever the places we`ve been to, mine was struggling. And strange ups and downs with full and suddenly no connection at all within same area. I tried several ROMs and flashed the latest radio but still suffers. Regardless I`m in an area with full signal, when I switch to 3G then the signal instantly drops some bars. Very annoying....

Hi @ll. To me subject is over. Im using new replacement phone for 3 days and none of previous problems appear. I have no clue what was a problem. HTC blame t-mobile and t-mobile blame HTC. After all I get replacement device and 3 days phone work without any problem. Battery life is now much better because phone is not looking for signal. Still signal is floating but it is not going under 2 bars and device is all the time login in network.

So good luck to everybody. Greetings.

So even if I flash the stock ROM and put a custom ROM (like CM9 for example), this problem will not be fixed ??!! Even if I update the radio ?
