Radio Rom 1.11.00 problems?!?!?!

hiya chaps, just wondered if anyone has upgraded to thE 1.11.00 radio rom, as i seem to have problems now with it.
i seem to be missing calls even though i have full signal, when people call me they say it goes straight to voicemail. as far as i can tell, this isnt a network problem, as i have 2 o2 phones and people can always get me on my other one, has anyone else had this problem???
Im going to downgrade back to 1.10.00 to see if this does shift the problem anyway.
joey. 8)

I've got exactly the same problem. I'm using a T-mobile mda pro with a Qtek rom
1.30.77
1.11.00
Sometimes the phone rings like 1 sec and then I have a missed call. Or it just doesn't do anything and I have a voicemail later on.
I've had this problem since the beginning. Used like radio 1.03 1.07 1.09 1.10 and 1.11
My battery lifetime is degraded to like 2 days now. If I disable BT it seems it lasts much much longer.
I'm thinking of maybe changing it to the original "new" t-mobile rom and look if that solves anything. I'm hesitated because I would need to reinstall all the programs again and I dont really feel like it.
I might just flash the radio to 1.10 or 1.09 so that I doesn't have to reinstall. Maybe I wait for the new radio

I've been using this radiorom for almost 2 months but I don't have any errors with it... maybe it depends on the network you use, too... (nokia or ericsson base stations for example, etc)

I have this problem with 1.11.00 after every true missed call.

why don't you upgrade to 1.13 version, already uploaded to ftp

I'll try it.
Thanks.
Update: I think it's fixed with 1.13.00. Thank you!!!

hi,i cant found on ftp this radio rom

Search in uploads.
Good luck!

i've always had these kinds of issues on all the different model pda/phone smartphones. i just get used to it....
besides it's usually my wife getting me tp bring something home for dinner.

It is normal that when you Leave your BT enabled it will deminish you battery more faster then when it's disabled... Don't leave your BT on for a long period of time, BT constantly sends a radio signal with a range of 10 meters, so everytime it's sending signal it will degrade your battery that is normal...

Radio problems with LVSW/Radio ROM

I am using LVSW ROMs since 26/03 version, through 08/04 until present 19/05. I also have 1.41 version of Radio ROM. Since I've started using these ROMs, I'm noticing problems with radio stack.
For example, while I was driving a car across Europe (UK->PL) few weeks ago, GSM module hanged almost every time I was crossing a border between countries and phone was loosing signal from one country and had to register in another. All I could see was little [!] sign instead of signal bars, and restarting phone module and/or whole device could help it. Two days ago I was on M1 from Sheffield to London and I've noticed that GSM module just died - pressing green button did just nothing (despite I had full signal bars), and people trying to call me that time, were saying they had regular calling signal, like I was missing a call. Besides that whole device was working properly, with no problems whatsoever.
On the other hand, I have no problems with dropped calls or data sessions. Looks like it is happening mainly on the move, and phone has problems with registering with network properly.
So there is a question(s) - does anyone have similar problems with LVSW ROMs or 1.41 Radio ROM? Should I downgrade Radio ROM to 1.40 or 1.38? I have HardSPLv7 installed, so is it safe to just use this RUU - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.40.30.00_CustomRUU.rar ? I've been searching forums, but haven't found much information on *downgrading* Radio ROM in particular.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Its the radio rom causing you problems. I've also had problems with data connections in particular using ROM 1.40 and 1.41 (in Asia, on UMTS and EDGE networks).
Suggest you re-flash the pretty-much proven 1.38 ROM. You can find the download link from the Wiki.

radio downgrade
I used the 1.40 on black 2.5 and it was ok , then I upgraded to 1.41 radio and I had problems with the sound quality so I downgraded to 1.40 and the sound become back good
I have HardSPLv7 installed and I am on orange IL Israel
I used for downgrade CustomRUU and had no problems on the downgrade prosses
now i am using the last version of LVWS with radio 1.40 and it is working ok
hope this info help you
another remark :
try to install first the radion and on top of it os and not first os and then radio , i notice in a change of battery life in those 2 variants

Were you driving too fast for the phone to keep up with the radio transmitters passing by????
I'm also using LVSW 19-05 and Radio 1.41 but not having any significant issues unless a program runs at 100%, then the person trying to call me hangs up before the phone starts ringing!
Ciao Oggy.

It's not the LVSW ROM.....! It's the radio 1.41 And this radio was tuned for Cingular. I am on Cingular and i personally think that 1.40 is much much better. Read up on the two radio topics for more info on the two. So the bottom line is it's NOT LVSW at fault here. it's the 1.41 radio...

Yeah, that's what I thought, but wasn't 100% sure either. I'm going to downgrade to 1.40 tonight and will observe any results...
Thanks to all for your inputs.

to be fair I think there is a problem with t-mobile uk at the moment with handovers, let me explain.......
I have a active data connection.........
phone is on 3G, everything fine
phone switches to 2G, data connection is still active, no problems
phone switches to 3G, data connection is broken and the radio reboots (scrolling dots ect.)
I can (and have) replicated this with EVERY radio from 1.27 to 1.41 (and I do mean EVERY radio)
I've also tried EVERY WM6 rom out there all do the same.
so I can only think its T-mobile playing up, its just strange that everything worked fine with WM5 as I remember (and no Im not flashing back to find out!)

Hi, I'm in the Netherlands. Just tested the 1.40 because 1.41 disconnected all the time. So far so good (5 calls later..). Downgrade went fine with the customRUU. Regards Bas

Interesting - it might be worth to check, but here in London it's actually hard to find a place where phone would switch itself 3G->2G. But anyway, I had problems not only on T-Mobile UK network, as I stated in first post, so I rather think it's Radio ROM related problem, more than network.

Sorry...I've been to positive. Right now only incoming calls come through. Outgoing is still a disaster. I'll downgrade to 1.38. Ill let you know if this works..

Currently in Thailand on DTAC, an EDGE network (all their GSM networks here have EDGE).
Radio 1.40: Voice calls were okay, didn't seem to have any problems, until I tried using data (gprs/edge). The data connection was completely unstable and unusable. Downgraded to radio 1.38...
Radio 1.38: Everything okay so far, EDGE data and voice calls.

Same boat!
Yup, same thing here with T-Mobile and the 3G/2G thingy.
Though I must admit 1.40 is pretty sucky anyway, 1.41 was worse.
Considering going back to 1.38, I've forgotten what it came with 1.2x or something, which, for its sins was pretty OK.
Oi! T-Mobile!! Sort it out before I head back to Orange!!!!
Actually, forget that rant, no point taking two steps backwards and starting to pay per MB again!!! LMAO

One more thing, which just came to my mind - in the original T-Mobile's MDA Vario II Extended ROM there is a file called P_rilgsm_patch.CAB, which could be related to Radio. Maybe this is a key for these problems? I guess this patch is network-specific - well, I believe this patch is there for a reason...
Btw, I've just downgraded to 1.40...

Error message flashing Radio 1.40.30
Hope someone can help me with this. I'm encountering an error message when trying to flash to radio 1.40.30. I have Custel 2.5 installed on a JasJam with Radio 1.41 currently.
When I run the update RUU program and click the AutoDetect button, I get a message that says "Error, Unknown version! You should pick SSPL".
I have HardSPL7 installed, so my question is, is it safe to force SSPL? Is that what it is asking me to do?
Thanks.
Nevermind, I think I found the answer finally - it only took many days:
1. Select "2.10 new..."
2. Tick "Is it HARD Spl?"
And then run the update as per normal.

where is the link to downgrade the radio 1.38
thanks

OK, but how to actually copy/send rilgsm.dll file?? Each time I have 'File cannot be copied' message, or such like... :-o
Btw, what happened, when you applied rilgsm patch?

i now get a "E" icon instead of "3G" and the radio seems slower handing over from 3G to 2G and back (thank god my stairs are 2G only!) I've sent you a PM on how to copy that file.

LVSW 3.30.3.3 and HSDPA bug - are there solutions?

I've updated my Hermes with latest LVSW ROM release, which I am quite happy about, besides HSDPA issue. I've checked the thread, but it got sooo loong already, that it is pretty hard to find anything useful information out there, besides the fact that there actually *is* HSDPA problem with that ROM.
So, I have just one, plain question and I'm hoping to get plain answer - is there any straightforward fix for that HSDPA issue (like additional .cab file to be installed), or do we need actually wait for the next ROM release and do full update then?
And please, let's not make another drama out of this topic, with conspiracy theories 'differences between WWE and RUS versions, and why is that' and stuff like that. Just plain answers please, which will benefit to all those who are actually interested in that. Thanks.

it appears the rimgsm.dll has issues in the 17745 RTM release from HTC... hence was replaced in "some" ROMs... not lsvw...

I have 3.30.2.1 LVSW based. What is the HSDPA issue? My issue is the phone needs rebooted to connect to the internet. Also, the wifi kind of stinks when you have 10 access points near you. I had these exact issues on the forst few WM5 ROMs i used for my 8125. Deja Vu

It concerns only the very latest 3.30.3.3 version. Basically, HSDPA support is broken in that ROM version. In fact, when phone is in 3G mode, network speeds are just like GPRS (~50-60 kbps). Besides that, ROM is just perfect...

I get 980k on LVSW baseed ROM. I use Cingular in USA DC. I got the vp3G's take on LVSW 05-19 3.30.2.1 [CINGULAR-optimized] ROM working. I have to reboot everyonce and awhile when I switch proxy and no proxy on my 3G connections and turn on/off the Internet Sharing with a laptop.

HSDPA bug
Hi,
I'm not running this rom, but I looked at it and compared it to austinsync's fixed version. In addition to replacing the rilgsm.dll file, he changed and deleted other stuff, most of which doesn't relate to this issue. I've been wondering if just replacing the rilgsm.dll file would fix the problem, so for those of you that want to try, I'm attaching the "working" version that austinsync used. Try copying it into your /windows directory, overwriting the one that's there (you may need to use total commander to overwrite the system file, I forget), then do a soft reboot. Worth a try!
Best wishes,

Just make sure to back up your original. After I added this file -- the phone will not turn on. The handset boots and all is well, but the radio will not work.

Ouch! Sorry about that.
You could try just deleting the file and a soft reboot. It should "re-expose" the original file.
Best wishes,

just replacing the rilgsm.dll will not fix it! your radio will not work if you do so. I would recommend using my release that has this issue fixed or another such as the one slueth came out with today but its based off another build. link the my fixed rom is in my sig.

That's based off other builds actually. Consider it a "Best of WM6" compilation. Even though my core CE/HAL is from the Hermes RTM build, HSDPA connectivity actually comes from the mun_rus imgfs core labeled CE 5.2.1413 and may have some universal components. This one had the least bugs and best thruput when coupled with radio v1.40 and >

I tried both yours (Sleuth) and Austinsync's ROMs but none worked for HSDPA. I tried reverting to an older ROM which I used before with HSDPA.. and it is ALSO NOT WORKING! :O :O
Is this thing some sort of non-downgradeable horror from space? It is present even after flashing to an OLD ROM!
Does it survive because it came from a more recent build of WM6?
Maybe most of you dont really care about that bug so much, but I actually depend on HSDPA.
Is there a FIX? ANY FIX!? I dont care to go back to an old ROM! How can I completely annihilate my phone's ROM and install from scratch?

Did you see the "H" icon displayed when you tried HSDPA on my ROM? If so, then the pipe to the towers was 700K - 1meg. What occurs after that is dependent on your carrier's network. In fact, I would suspect this, not your ROM, if downgrading caused no difference.

When downgrading, you removed everything: no settings can linger between hard resets. Since your problem still occurred, I'd say its something to do with your carrier. Or.... you are running a non HSDPA capable radio. Check the wiki for how to determine this.

lol... pretty funny!
Seriously, HSPDA is working great for me on sleuth's rom, and actually all the new roms (except LVSW's). Maybe there was a service problem in your area lately? Also, double check your carrier settings.
I also think it would be nice if someone could come up with a fix short of rebuilding the rom as austinsync has, or just fix that one issue and leave everything else alone.

I have exactly the same problem. Nice rom but on HDSPA I get around 64kbit speed (( totally suxx

Sleuth - No HSDPA icon at all. I know it normally appears when Im pulling data. With this HSDPA bug my speedtests show UMTS scores now (250-300kbps)

Did you upgrade to a broken HSDPA rom before using Sleuth's? If not, then it is obvious that your phone wouldnt be infected.
It is NOT my carrier. I was using HSDPA until my phone turned off for ROM upgrade. Then after the upgrade was complete, HSDPA wouldnt come back.

Ive tried radio 1.40.30 which is tested and proven in the past.
Oh and NOT everything is gone when you flash. Sometimes, I still have a previous ROM's flash screen when booting up (like now i got your ROM, but i still see Black Dymond's screen at boot). The radio doesnt disapear either.
Wouldnt it be possible for something to get stuck as well? Especially when it is radio related.

Hi Alkizmo,
Sorry if I seemed flip. I have heard horror stories of bad flashes, etc.. In Wizard land where I come from, the advice is often given to downgrade to a stock carrier rom before reflashing a new rom. In my own experience this has only been useful for me once out of many dozens of flashes. I would expect sleuth has flashed hundreds if not thousands of times. My experience is that a flash wipes out everything related to that flash, i.e. an os flash wipes out the os, a splash screen flash wipes out the splash, a radio flash wipes out the radio. Try reflashing with another rom that includes "extended_rom", this will reset everything, then try again. If you need to you can downgrade to your original carrier rom. (Check the threads for downgrading, I haven't had to do it on a Hermes yet.) Again, I have tried all the recent roms, and HSPDA works well with all of them except the one this thread is about. I am getting about 900k with sleuths rom here in the NYC area.
Good luck!

I understand that you don't want to recommend something that might brick my phone.
However, contrary to common thinking, there ARE things that get passed on from flash to flash (hence the flash screen not changing).
Now onto the matter of HSDPA :
I've managed to get HSDPA signal, but only by changing location. Weird thing is, I've got HSDPA in my apartment before, now I dont anymore unless I walk away to some place around.
My signal is STRONG on 3G yet no HSDPA.
Ok, at least I can go back to the new ROMs that I liked and figure out how to get better signal to acquire HSDPA.

Radio Rom roundup (determening best radio for each country/provider)

The goal of this thread is to find out which radio is best for your region and provider.
We will have to look at the following
-Reception strenght for both gsm and 3g.
-Speed of GPS lock
-Batterylife
I have added a poll, the poll will be continent based, but you can post your exact country and provider in your commentry post.
if we can get enough information or see a red line that makes things easyer we could add a wiki page with recomended radios for each country or provider

yeayyy second...
from qatar .. no probs with radio 150xxxx
signals ..atleat get a bar where 1.46 didnt get any
gps.. maybe bit faster lock..
improved.. now dont need to charger 2 days ( depends on usage)

In New Zealand (on Vodafone NZ), and strangely with the Dopod ANZ WM6 ROM and 1.46.30.11 radio incoming calls don't work, I can dial out just fine and all other radio functions (BT, WIFI, GPS) work perfectly. Just nobody can call me - they get a disconnected signal which is very strange! Tried fixing the phone to only GSM or only 3G, neither of which helped.
I would have thought that since the Dopod ANZ ROM was released for the ANZ region the 1.46.30.11 radio that came with it would work nere.
Went back to the 1.38 radio ROM which fixed the problem. Haven't yet tried 1.41 or 1.50 to see if they fix the problem.

In North America using 1.46.00. It works as well as 1.38 did, however GPS fix is twice as fast now.

Rogers Canada
-------------------
1.50.08.111
1.46.xxxx
Sometimes calls are dropped after 1 ring and sent straight to voicemail. Sometimes phone doesn't even ring and goes straight to voicemail. GPS reception is great. Haven't noticed any difference in call quality with either of these radios.
1.38.00.11
Seems to be most stable for me. Doesn't not have the same issues as the newer radios, however GPS reception isn't as good.

T-Mobile USA.These ones work fine.
1.35.00.11
1.38.00.11
1.41.00.11
1.46.00.11
1.46.30.11
This version:1.50.08.11
Sends my calls straight to voicemail and sometimes the phone only rings once.

Up till now it would seem that 1.50.08.111 is the best version to choose by default, and only if you have problem then you should downgrade to 1.46.xxxx

ACCORDING TO MY OPINION:
each official os require different drivers and/or dll to access to radio rom and one of the most important is rilgsm.dll and related exes.
More or less, we actually have 3 kinds of cooked rom, derived from official anz, sea and new anz with different radio roms. Each one should use the radio rom shipped with its own os, but as to seem that all the people here go always to the latest revision number without thinking to the drivers they are using.
The latest radio 1.50 has been shipped by a local provider probably with special setting, but the people seem to go to this version just becouse it's the latest revision. Why don't you trust what your rom cookers are suggesting about radio roms?
For example, it seem that the most part of the people are using axel roms on its devices, and axel includes Radio v1.46.00.11 to its own rom. But according to this poll, most part of the people are using 1.50 radio.
Please think about this...
Ciao

Yeah, I have the same problem with my P3600. I have upgraded to radio rom 1.46 and people can not call me anymore. I am downgrading to 1.38 now. I have put wm5 back but the radio rom didn't change. it is still 1.46.

and?
And South America? it doesnt exist?

There can only be 10 options, so south america and everything else not mentioned goes under the other option

Tried 1.38.00.11 .. that comes with mun rom...
it was working perfectly ...
then unfortunately i upgraded to 1.46.30.11 ...
which sucks big time ... voice is bad ... reception is bad .. and gps is the same ...
didn't try other roms ...
on my way to reinstall 1.38

I for one never noticed any difference they all perform the same way, its only a version number that changes in my device

What about Portugal?
Im still using the olg 1.46 one...

Yeah simply becuase I am tired of moving between different versions just trying to improve the GPS first fix as people claim the fix is faster with every new radio rom, and I got sick of it and that was the last version I used....
I would have had the same question coming to me with any number I had put in my signature....ha

thanks for that answer

Can we pin this and other Polls?

I am using "Test.build.gps.32.75.7020" Its was made for specific network provider. With standard radio rom my phone was missing calls and sms messages.

Hello guys!
I flashed 1.5xxx radio to my Trini, and my IMEI has changed!!!Do you have any idea, how to change it back? My IMEI is checked every time, I leave the factory, I can not leave it like this

Problem with Voice Dropping Out on Caller's End with TMobile

I am having major problems with the voice dropping out on my end. I can hear the other person, but they can not hear me. This happens sometimes right away when I make a call and sometimes a few minutes into the call.
The same problem is happening to me with every version of ROM and Radio Version I have tried:
WM5.0
WM6.0
WM6.1
I have a HTC 8500 Hermes (8525 without the camera) - ATT/Cingular that I am running on the TMobile Network.
I am currently running CRC's WM 6.1 with Radio 1.54.07.00
I get great signal and good data connection. The calls do not drop entirely only my voice outgoing.
I ran the network selection wizard and selected T-Mobile without result.
I have spent hours reading the forum and searching for posts about this...
Any help or ideas?
Thanks

where u located? what plan u on? look at these prior threads on the subject from a xda google search...maybe some help:

With using a Bluetooth headset or straight through?
Have you flashed to the EXACT factory ROM/Radio for your model and see if you have the same symptom?

Hi there,
please refer to this thread. might help you find a solution or 2.

Main ideas is
1. Disable your start up animation sound
2. Do not enable WOW HD Settings on boot up.

I am in Dallas, TX using the T-Mobile Network.

So far, I have only tried straight through. I will give the hands free and bluetooth a try. Thanks.
Also, I have tried 3 Shipped Roms or Factory upgrades (Cingular WM5.0, ATT WM 6.0, HTC WM 6.0)

I looked at the thread link and went through all of my phone settings, but I am not sure how to disable the start up animation sound or WOW HD settings on boot up.
I will keep searching the forums' threads, but if you have some instructions that would be great.

Mine has gone all day and it seems to be working. I think it's the SRS_WOWHD_bt_fixed cab like wikiri mentioned.

The problem is that I can not find how to fix or reinstall the WOWHD. Is it a patch or a setting change?

With the hands free plugged in the phone works perfectly. If I unplug the hands free then the mic goes out or is patchy.

it sounds very much like my phone problem that i had. I use the mic and the other side couldn't hear me well, keep saying i sound too far away. Once i turn on the bluetooth, they could hear me loud and clear.
If turning off Starting animiation sound and WOW HD Settings doesn't work. chances are you have a bad mic and need repairs.

Thanks for your posting on the problem with my mic on the Hermes. It is definately the same problem you had. I was wondering if you could help me with how to turn off the WOW HD settings and initial animation. I have searched the forums and can only find that I should do these things but not how. I am running CRC's WM6.1 v.11. I can not find a program called WOW HD in the settings.
Thanks alot!

I am having the same problem except the conversation goes well for a minute or so then the person on the other end can not hear me.
The solutions given don't work for me and I never used SRS WOW.
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change all these settings.
I'm hoping the phone doesn't need repair. It just stopped working and when it does work is clear and precise. Does anyone have any other ideas?

addicus, I have had the same problem with my 8525 on Tmob here in Chicago. I think my problem is a combination of poor signal quality/radio rom.....I wonder how much this has to do with Tmob upgrading their network to 3G.

What's up Vision77. I believe this has a lot to do with the 3G upgrade for TMobile USA. I never had this problem until 4 days ago and I know my area (Southern California Inland Empire) is being upgraded soon as part of Los Angeles.
I flashed a new radio last night and it seemed to have solved the issue from my test. Chexk out my signature for the radio # and good luck.
All Hermes radios are available on the wiki or through CRCinAU's signature.

yea, I found radio 1.47.00.10 to be the best w/tmobile out West, back in Ohio, in Texas, and even roaming in Mexico!
