[Q] best radio image for HTC Aria

There's really only 2 radio versions floating around for US Arias. There's the old one that it shipped with originally, and this updated version that came with the 2.2 update:

You can get the image from that thread and flash it from CWR (check the md5 sum first or you will brick your phone). Or, the safer way is to run the official RUU to upgrade to 2.2 (will install the above radio), then run AlphaRevX to S-OFF.

I should add that there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in call quality between the two radios, but YMMV.

+1 I've used both radio images and the newer one shows slightly better signal strength (47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11), for me at least. The gps did lock in a little faster. If you go to menu-Settings-About phone-Software information, in the Baseband version (shows radio you're using) the older one I believe ended in a 6 and the newer does end in 11. If you use Astro File manager you can long press the zip, choose details to see the MD5 checksum. Or you can use AFV (Android file verifier), it's a free download in the market. Personally, I would say go with the newer one, not everyone will see an improvement but from what I've read most do. Verify the MD5 checksum!!!
As far as gps goes the biggest improvement I've seen is using this gps script. Instantaneous GPS Fixation CWR v1.2 US & INTERNATIONAL FINAL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11342772&postcount=1 I used the one for my region (South Mid States), there's versions for different countries also . With this script gps locks in very fast and very accurate.
You can also use GPS Status to reset and download new assistance data, it's a free download in the market, it works great to show how many satellites your gps sees and how many it's locked into. Screenshot of GPS Status taken inside house using above script.

Yea I'm gonna say that if you're not sure how to boot into CWR, don't go flashing radios.

I get the feeling you're not rooted. IF that's the case, then you don't have cm recovery. Its something you have to flash to your phone yourself.

That said, if you aren't up for rooting your phone the alternative is to run the 2.2 ruu from htc. Then again if you're not rooted then you most likely are already on 2.2 due to either when you bought your phone or an htc ota update. If that's the case you most likely already have the radio update. To check just turn off your phone and turn it in by holding volume down button and the power button simultaneously. This takes you to the bootloader screen which displays the radio version. The newer radio ends in 11. You can also get to cm recovery from this screen (if I was wrong about the root thing) by selecting recovery in the menu.

issues with wifi

Hello

First of all, sorry my english

I had installed on my Gratia the version of cyanogenmod 7.2 that comes in that thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430267

concretely 2/10/12 revisión

It works perfectly, but there is a little issue with wifi

When i connected to a wifi point and i exit from its range, and enter in other wifi range that i had stored in my wifi connections, phone not connect automatically to that other wifi while phone is locked. but i had to connect it mannually unlocking the phone.

In the original rom, when i was near my home, for example, phone connects automatically to my home wifi

In other hand, when i connected to a wifi and the wifi not detect activity, it disconnect from acces point, although i have put to never the sleep polytics of wifi. This problem is solved partialy because i install an app from market that make a ping every minute to a extern ip, then wifi detects activity and no sleeps.

A friend tell me that there is an update called "baseband" that update the part of android that controls radio connections, and this update can solve this problem.

I search that update in xda forums and find this thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153385&highlight=baseband

but when i try to update it with clockworkmod recovery it tells me that the update is in an old version previous to android 1.5. (amend) and abort the process.

I dont know how to solve problem.

Thanks
