Right, I'm trying to see if changing the radio/RIL/DISH do anything to improve my signal. For some reason, my signal strength seems to have dropped recently (not sure why, nor do I remember exactly when it started), so I'm curious to see if I can do something to restore it. Both my WiFi and carrier signal strengths have decreased, so I don't think that it's just T-Mo mucking with stuff.

Thanks!

Well have you flashed any different rils or radios recently?

Not until this evening. Updated firmware, various ROMs/kernels (issue is the same for all of them), I think that's it. I pulled the back cover off, and all of the metal contacts seem to be ok. Supposedly the new DISH2 may work better than the older DISH2 or the DISH3, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

One thing I just thought to try is to check WiFi Analyzer to see if one of my neighbors installed a new router and I'm getting channel overlap, which could explain the loss of WiFi signal strength, and T-Mo did muck with something.

I don't seem to have made anything worse (yet), so as long as I maintain status quo, I'll be reasonably happy, but I'm hoping to get a little bit better.

If your on tmobile you probably do or don't know that they had data outages so that may be a reason why your having issues with signals.

For me I'm just using the tmobile 3.32 firmware and no issues at all. Oh and I don't mess with using different rils

I'd heard about the data outages this evening, but this has been happening for the past couple of weeks. I should check to see which firmware I installed (don't remember off the top of my head), and maybe try going back to an earlier one to see if that helps.

Tomorrow...it's almost 2:30 now, and I've learned in the past that messing with my phone at this hour usually results in bad things. LOL

Thanks again!

New radio

I flashed yesterday the new radio (only the radio) and signal reception has definitely increased for me. I work in a remote harbour, and i usually got 2-3 bars max. I got now 4-5 bars constantly.

Need to check now if this doesn't happen at the cost of battery life. after 12 hours, cell standby represents 13 percents of battery consumption. i believe it used to be a bit less.

Is stated 2 times before. The have a special button called search for that :)

Solution is stop using apollo and use a third-party app like poweramp or double twist

I think he flashed the 11.76A radio from the ViperS ROM thread - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26521106&postcount=4

The radio is from one of the sense 4.0 roms woudnt that cause problems with this OS rom?

From what I can tell from the radio/RIL thread it is working for all carriers as a number of people from around the world are using it already.

    This thread is about OpenSensation and not about my kernel!!

    Disclaimer
    Your warranty is now void.

    I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
    Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    Known Bugs / Fixes
    • MHL doesn't works as expected
    • Bluetooth may not work perfectly on every device
    • Not compatible with SuperWipe.zip
      • Use 4EXT's full-wipe function
    • Your bug is not listed here?
    Difference between OpenSensation and CyanogenMod
    • we have 1080p, they don’t
    • we have OTA Updates, they don’t
    • we have PDroid patches included, they don’t
    • we have removed RomManger and Terminal Emulator (bloatware, still available in Play Store)
    USB-OTG
    The USB-OTG stuff is a little bit tricky. It looks like some Sensations have a self powered USB Host port which allows them to use an USB-Stick without external power. But most Sensation don’t have it.
    You need
    • USB-OTG y-cable (like this)
      • (or a normal USB-OTG cable if your attached device has it’s own power supply)
    • in case you’re using an USB-OTG y-cable you need an external power supply
      • I recommend you a mobile battery with a female USB-Port
    This ROM will mount the first partition of your attached device (fat32 & ntfs only!) to /mnt/usbdisk. If you wan’t to use more partitions/devices I recommend you to use Chainfire’s StickMount App
    Requirements
    • HTC Sensation (XE and 4G sould work, too)
    • custom Recovery (I recommend 4EXT)
    • 3.32 or 3.33 Firmware (ROM is tested with 3.32 firmware, so use 3.33 at your own risk!)
    • S-OFF (ROM should work without S-OFF, but you might need 4EXT’s SmartFlash to properly flash the boot.img)
    • SDCard
    Download
    FAQ
    • Can we have XYZ from Sense?
      • NO!
    • “Is there a way to have FM Radio?”
      • No, there is no way to build it from source. Try Spirit FM.
    Thanks & Credits
    • Vorbeth, intervigilium, elelinux and cretin45 (for bringing CM9 to the Sensation)
    • intervigilium, faux123 and showp1984 (for the kernel)
    • blahbl4hblah (for his tutorial to compile OpenSensation which brought me to where I am now)
    • aquariumsoft (for UpdateMe)

    Small update for you all.
    I'm going to be stopping working on OS. Waiting 190 minutes for each compile just to test a small fix is getting too much.

    I thank all those that previously donated, I was able to get a used q6600 PC, however that didn't last and the CPU fried. (Probably why I got it cheap was that is was on it's way out)

    I've asked TamCore if he will take over on OpenSensation.

    I have enjoyed the time I spent in doing this, however with work I don't have time to work on this during a week now, as the last few updates have shown working on it during the week, staying up while it compiles results in a few bug's.

    The repo's as they are now do suffer from audio routing and I will try to re-port the routing fix over the next few day's, but that will be my last contribution.

    What's the current status of LPA?

    Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

    In a few hours after I compile, it will be enabled & audio routing band-aided

    leaving just bluetooth, mhl, full HW acceleration & a few wakelock issues to be fixed.

    Hell, I started out on this laptop, so may as well finish on it.
    i'll stick around continuing to work on this for a while yet.

    Guess I just got that pissed off waiting one night I thought "f**k it"

    I will continue until such a point that cm and my repos have exactly the same functions.
