[Q] Do all ICS builds include a new radio?

[martyxng]

I did a complete wipe of my fascinate (on a Powerwashed 2.2 rom). I then installed TeamHacksung Build 2 (as advised by the AOKP folks). I then flashed AOKP build 37 (glitched).

Everything works great, except my phone seems to cut out a few seconds (or minutes) into a call. I can no longer hear the person or they can't hear me, even though the call is still connected. Do I need to flash a new radio? Or did I need to wipe after installing the TeamHacksung rom before flashing AOKP? I assumed since I wiped the Powerwashed 2.2 rom that my phone was ready to go.

Yes. From Droidstyle's guide...

Step 22: Long press power key, select reboot, select recovery, WIPE DATA, Install ICS zip from sd that you downloaded in step 20. then Install gapps zip from sd that you downloaded in step 21, Reboot!

Okay, I've wiped the phone about 5 times now following all directions and most of my calls still go silent 10 seconds in or so.....BAD NEWS!

I need to fix this ASAP! Should I go back to the last "milestone" build of AOKP, or are there other troubleshooting steps I can take?

have you started completely from scratch by going back to stock gingerbread, and followed all the instructions to the letter in the guide? What rom were you on before and did you have the same issue? Try another GB rom then try a different ics rom.

I was never on the stock GB rom. I went from stock Froyo to Powerwashed Froyo. I flashed a few different radios because I kept missing calls. I ended up on EC09.

Then I did the TeamHacksung -> AOKP 37 update. It looks like I am now on radio EC09 in AOKP 37. Would going to stock GB and then back really make a difference? Or should I try a different radio? Do I still need to flash radios through ODIN when I'm on an ICS build?

The ROMs do not include a radio. EC09 is what most people have the best luck with. Its also what I'm using with ICS. I'm running THS though, never have cared for AOKP, personal preference.

I have the least amount.of trouble flashing back to stock (personally use ED05), then going to whatever ROM want to run.

Have you tried switching to a different kernel?

You can flash whatever radio you want. There is a whole section here with all of the radio downloads. It is not really fair to say that most people use a certain radio as that is not true. People use the radio that works best for them. Try some of them out for yourself. I am using the ei20 radio if I recall and have non issues with that one.

So you went directly from a Froyo ROM to an ICS ROM without following the proper steps to get to ICS? That's definitely a no-no. You really should just follow all of the steps in droidstyle's guide for flashing an ICS ROM. I can almost guarantee you will see your issue with calls go away if you follow every step. It sounds like you are jumping all over the place and not starting at the beginning. That is just asking for issues.
