My impressions about last radio rom (4.47.25.13) ;

After 48 hours of usage; 4.47.25.01 is better than 4.47.25.13 in every aspect...

4.47.25.13 lose signal in poor reception area frequently..

Still waiting a good radio rom..

 

[le saint]

Unfortunetly the same for me... This new rom lose the signal to much in some poor reception places, even if globaly the reception seems a little better than with the 4.45 ...

This last rom is not "the one".
I will wait again, but time is very long to solve the only problem I really have with this phone...

Now that's a post. This is the kind of info everyone should leave. Just saying a radio is no good does not help. But the above info is very helpful.

Thanks!

Bad for MegaFon, St.-Petersburg, Russia.
Previous radio had a better signal,

Hi

I've found 4.47.25.21 worse than other radios as it keeps switching to 2G where version 3s are quite happy with 1 or 2 bars on 3G.

We are never told where these radios come from. Are the version 4's even for the Topaz? If they are they may be designed for a specific mobile operator or targeted for a specific country and will not work optimally elsewhere.

We just accept the higher version number must be better, but that isn't always the case.

It's great having access to these new radios and it's great the community finds them, but what never is specified is exactly where they have come from. For all we know someone is just opening the files with a HEX editor and changing the version number.

Regards

Phil

My first impression about this radio is not the same as u said. For 3g and wireless i found the same usage like older radios. No 3g switching to 2g at my home where ussualy i have 1 or 2 bars 3g. The same signal strength on wi-fi, more battery saving. But is just a first impression. I will test this radio more.

Is it recommended to use Radio ROM versions 4.xx.xx.xx on stock ROM with WinMob 6.1?

It's not correct.
Only you with your device can choose the best radio for yourself
The quality of radio depends on:
1. Mobile Operator
2. region
3. sometimes, ROM, where it is to fix a specific version of the radio

I think 4.47.25.21 has worse reception than v4.47.25.01. I´m switching back to v4.47.25.01. I´m still hoping for a good radio one day any day....

Radio 4.47.25.21 works great on my phone. Very fast 3G, Wifi, and GPS connection. Very stable and great reception strength. Btw I am using udK Topaz R6 WM6.5 ROM. For me personally a wonderful combination, the best so far.
