[RADIO][Update Feb 11th] Topaz Radio ROM list

BeeGee_Tokyo · May 2, 2009

Hi all !
Here is a thread for all Radio version available for Topaz device.

For the Newbies here:
The radio ROM is responsible for Wifi, phone signal, GPS. Changing the radio ROM can improve your phone (or make it worse) regarding Wifi sensitivity, phone signal availability, GPS satellite receiving and GPS lag.

Unfortunately there is no confirmed measurement available yet to tell you which radio ROM is the best for you. It depends on the OS ROM you use, the region you are living and your personal needs.

Radio list

Recommended radio
4.49.25.17 has received good feedback from Germany, Brasil, Hongkong, GreatBritain, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, India, Bulgaria, Singapore, France, China.
4.49.25.57 got as well good feedback. I saw now difference on 4.49.25.88 and it needs CID/Security unlock, because it comes from Rhodium.
2.49.25.204 got some good feedback from Croatia. Some users report problems with Wifi WPA.
4.49.25.91 got good feedback from Europe, Japan, USA. This ROM is my recommendation!

How to flash a radio?

HardSPL your device, then

either

Use included CustomRUU for flashing from your PC

or

Rename radio to TOPAIMG.nbh, copy to your SD-Card, go to bootloader (Reset with VolumeDown pressed)

How to benchmark a radio?
Difficult, we do not have a real good method yet.

Thanks to akirius we have a tool to see Cellar System Available------Cellular System Connected------Signal Strength(percent)------Signal Strength RAW(percent). You can get it from this post.
You can use the FieldTest application. Check the values RRSI 1 or AGC (under WDCMA). Check this post and the followings to learn more about it.

br, Chris

Have it since last nite on my Topaz, so far good, but I am at a special place, maybe not comparable with Europe or US.

Battery drain normal with the TESS 2.0 ROM.

What are the main differences between Radio version v4.47.25.21 and v4.47.25.31?
Does somebody know that?
I'm now using the v4.47.25.21 radio and my battery life is very good.
thank you

I was using the .21 and I was happy with receiption quality and battery life.
Testing at the moment the .31 and cannot see any difference.

But I am on Japanese network, so the improvements might be for other regions.

emile75 · Aug 13, 2009

using v4.47.25.31 for one day now. No complaints, good reception, nice battery.

duongla · Aug 14, 2009

Testing 4.47.25.31 for one day: no significant improvement compared with .21
Recommended radio from 4.47.25.21 for good GPS reception.

Hi,

flashed 4.47.25.31 yesterday (from 3.46.25.18). Using Topaz WM 6.1 Stock ROM (germany).
Provider: (germany) blau.de (using the "e-net", as e-plus and o2)

Having the same issues i had with every 4.X-ROM 'til now. General receiving quality is between "ok" and "bad", sometimes the device loses connection to the provider completely.

Data-connections switch excessively between "3G" "E" "G", causing many data-transfer-pauses and really often connection-losts (even when it shows 2 bars of signal-strength), so i have to reconnect manually.

gps seems fine so far. wlan works as i'm used to it

Battery life (compared to 3.46.25.18) seems better.

nevertheless, it just seems as if the 4.X Radio-ROMs don't play good with a WM6.1 (stock) ROM. At least not for me, causing the same troubles every time.

I'm going back to 3.46.25.18 when i come home later, as this one is a lot better (for me) when it comes to signal quality and keep-alive of data-connections...

edit: Interestingly enough, after having posted the above text my device is running well currently. The weather has become better and the overall signal quality seems to be higher - so it seems, that the 4.x radios behave different in poor signal areas.
