HD2 in Israel ROM / Radio version - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I came back from France to Israel with a HD2. This one is now simunlocked and could work on the israeli networks.
I'm currently on the network Orange 3G.
However, I cannot have a phone call neither in reception nor in emission. I'm not hearing anything and the phone becomes frozen right after the "call".
My phone has the following characteristics:
ROM: Energy.Leo.23554.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.GTX.Themed.Apr.03
Radio: 2.04.50
Anyone knows the combination ROM / RADIO that I must implement for Israel with good energy yield?
(using phone, gps, bluetooth, data exchange)
Thanks

I have used Miri's roms for the last 8 months. He is now on HTPedia.com
See: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1786
Miri's roms are one the best. Stable and Fast, and most importantly bug free.
I use Radio v2.08.50.08_2 on Cellcom, works perfect.

I take MaesusLeo v2.84 Cookie WWE_CHS, works great, Radio 2.11.50.20 on cellcom...

Radio 2.12.50.02 + ROM Dinik&Miri v19 that is IMO, the best one - stable and bug-free ROM from Miri with brilliant iconset, keyboard and other customizations from Dinik.

the best radio for herms

please guide me which radio the best from the following aspects
good reception and strong signals
battery life
thanks in advance
uhm... no way of really knowing, probably the newest one because it's... you know... new.
before you ask, it's 1.38.00.10
I already ask in different thread, if exist some change log, but no, doesnt exist. so only way is to watch threads, and sometime people said - "..I have bad reception with version xxx...". it is not very comfortable, but there is one way, test one version lower, as is the newest one, and wait perhaps one week, if someone post information about problem/advantage of newest version. for me - I updating always all new rom/radio/BL
latest
I have the latest Trinity rom, works like a charm.....
Really excellent....1.38.00.11.
For sure with bandswitch and push mail!

HTC Athena (X7501) ROM Update (ver 1.47.51.00)

It can be found here or on the ftp site, in the upload section.
Interresting fact to note: it now includes TeleNav51. Nice!
Cheers, enjoy!
wm5 or wm6
It's a ROM for the 7501... guess.
naw sry lol dumb question!!! thought it said x7500
New HTC x7501 ROM

Yes, I tried. It's image version 2.19.453.4. The RUU is made only for the X7501.

Hmmmm, and our current version is 2.20.405.1........sooo why not use it instead?
Later...............
I am running the X7501 software now after using the previous X7500 WM6 ROM. The camera app still supports the front camera as I am using the X7500 hardware. This ROM is geared towards US users on T-Mobile or AT&T as it automatically configures your data connection. It contains TeleNav with I assume is similar to Google Maps, but for a paid subscription. I will run it for a few days and report back. The radio version is higher than the one of the X7500 ROM which may be designed for the US market, I dont know.

2.20 is for the X7500, this one is an update to the X7501. I don't know how to make it work on the X7500 (and don't really look forward to it either), but none the less I never said to go ahead and try that one on a X7500. The X7501 is an Athena/Advantage also, I only mentioned this version was out for anyone to try/break/extract/etc.. It's official release also if it makes anyone more comfortable.
One point I thought was interresting was the inclusion of TeleNav instead of TomTom. Sounds like HTC is maketing the 7500 in europe with video telephony and TomTom, where in america it's the 7501 without video telephone and TeleNav. Which makes me believe it will be sold by Cingular/AT&T (who for a strange reason, launch the HSDPA network, but gets rid of services using it such as video telephone).

Both ROMs seem to be about the same, as I have run them each individually. i would say that Advantage users in the United States may like the X7501 ROM better becasue everything is preloaded for AT & T Wireless or T-Mobile.
Other than that, they are the same, and still no VGA resolution support in the X7501 ROM.

Yes it does. The device is set either to 850/1900 + HSDPA or on 900/1900 with UMTS/HSDPA on 2100. Also, you can set WCDMA, GSM or auto.

Bradwall,
Thank you for report, I was curious about the ROM.
Now, has anyone had a chance to do a radio comparison between the 1.45 and the 1.47? I would like to run the 1.47.51.00 radio with the other WM6 rom and see what happens.....LOL

I have to say I really enjoy the radio ROM of the X7501 as I have been traveling in areas I normally drop a call and this Radio version on my x7500 seems to migrate seamlessly through my area. I travelled 350 miles round trip today driving and stayed on the phone constantly. I did not drop one call!
Either ROM is OK by me (X7500 or x7501) because at this point if the ROM doesnt have the features you want, you just install a CAB file.
hey guys,
i don't know much about what you're talking about. is there a difference between x7500, x7501, athena, dupod 1000, Ameo and which wm6 rom update u install?
how do i know what i have. i bought mine from some store in manhattan, not from a wireless phone company.
the box says advantage x7500, but the device information:
model number says ATHE100
ROM version: 1.25.405.2
ROM date: 03/09/07
Radio: 1.38.00.00
Protocol: 32.71.7020.103H
extROM: 1.23.405.103
my questions are:
- what model do i have
- is it a locked model? how do i find out?
- livingin USA, would i be better off changing to the x7501 rom, since it's tailored for noth america (so you guys think), or would i be takin a big risk?
really appreciate your help

how can u know its best and so on??
Here in USA, I found 2.69.x rom version makes a huge difference in a data session. I can actually see the speed difference between 2.69 and 2.19 or 2.20 radio roms. I'm on Tmobile USA networks in NE area.
i used 2.19.21 radio only for better battery drain...

Hi Kenxu, I am also on T-Mobile USA. I was originally using the 2.69.X version, but I noticed that when my phone went into sleep mode, a lot of phone calls were not coming through.
I have since switched back to 2.20.21 and my phone seems to be responding much better. I do not use my phone for heavy data session though.
Does anybody know what Radio Rom works best / optimal for T-Mobile USA?

If i found something new willl let you know.
differences
Is there any write up on the differences of the radio roms? wud be helpful.
I am on 2.61.21 .. power drain looks ok .. signal strength also ok

alright, which rom were you testing using 2.20.21? I was using Crystal V3.
From my own experience, there are some differences between these versions in:
- Battery drain
- Phone quality and coverage
- Bluetooth and Wifi (communications/speed/compatibility)
Going for higher version improves what above but sacrifices stability sometimes and compatibility with OS built used.
Cheers

I have Tmobile and had 2.69 but had some issues, forgot now but downgraded to 2.47 and now I am back at 2.69 without any problems. I have noticed with all radio roms or maybe its WM6 that I don't get a warning when I have a voicemail. Not sure what is going on.

v2.07.20 ASERG ROM better to upgrade?

T-Mobile(USA) what's the best radio rom?

Just upgraded my phone to WM6.1 and enjoying it, but I heard something about the ability to upgrade the radio rom on the phone.
I've heard that some radio roms can increase reception, but also decrease battery life and cause some calls and messages to miss.
I'm using T-Mobile USA on my Wizard. Have there been a better radio rom that doesn't cause these issues, or should I just stay with my current radio rom?
if you have no problem with your current radio i would stick with it. read lots of posts on radio upgrading. some people get great results and some have problems.
from what i have red 2,19 seems to be the most stable.
you can always test it for yourself. all the radios are availible in the ftp server including the original t mobille usa radio
Hey Duke what rom are you using?
Official Tmobile rom with WM5 and radio 2.25.11 never missed any calls for me, as soon as i went with TNT's 6.1 latest rom, i started missing calls and voicemails. Flashed to 2.71.11 radio - same, now i applied the radio cab fix from here(post #6) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317331&highlight=tmobile+Radio+ROM (per advise of mmeyer) and testing currently. If that doesnt work - will flash to 2.19 that seems to work for most US MDA Tmobile people. Just hate to go to older radio that has much worse reception than even 2.25

Best radio for TG01?

Hi all,
in all the ROM-threads we talk about the different radio-versions. As call quality has been THE major issue on our device I decided to make up a new thread only for radio. Hope it is ok..
I`m using Novembre5 german rom #1 with radio 5005.1600.05. The complaints about" I canĀ“t hear you..." seem to increase in comparison to the official toshiba Swiss ROM I used before. I`m using german vodafone network, dk if its important.
Maybe we can compare our experiences with the different radios to help our great cooks to implement the"perfekt" radio for our TG01..
THX to all
DubRas
I guess it will depend were you are. I have tried most of the roms that had been posted here. For the purpose of testing the call quality I spent about two hours trying the roms. The original problem I had with this is the person the other end sometimes can not here me properly. A problem I did not have since I upgraded to the official toshiba rom 6.5.0. When I had november's 6.5.5 rom running to my surprise i had a worst call quality, the qualityon both sides was bad. So I tested the different roms and as a result the radio from the official toshiba upgrade is the best one for me. I am in the UK so it might be a different case with other people on other country.
And just a note the radio version that everyone is using now is originaly release for china so it might not be design for other countrys network. I guess!
Also I have posted this in a couple of threads and aragon said that he can do a tool to easily change the radio on roms. I hope it materials. so thubs up from me.
Just to add. Im using aragon's TG01 Debranded Orange UK - 6.5.0 ROM v0.010 which works perfect for me at the moment. loads of space for program and ram after installing all my apps especially for call quality issue.
Big up.. to aragon
so maybe we, the "european" users, should vote for an 6.5.5-ROM with the official UK-Radio. Or, if aragon gets an "easy-radio-update-tool" to work, we might be able to do it ourselves...
It seems that FFBOY radio layer is better, that what I can see, but it's not easy, because all ROM works well, with some diffenreces.... No need of SRSWOW with ffboy's ROM.

I'm from Romania this means from Europe here only work the latest Hong Kong radio driver 5005.1600.05 the other one from official UK keep getting problems in call quality.
Do i get that right: there seems to be no easy answer to the question: which is the best radio? Cant believe it, but my technical knowledge is maybe much too low for that. The "Easy-radio-update-tool" might be a possibility for every single user to find the radio that works best for him and in his country/network. So hopefully a tool like that will appear sometime in the future.
im using the newest offical tosh 6.5 update cooked with the
5005.1600.05 radio by aragon this has drastically improved my sound quality i no longer need srswow plus as it the offical rom there is not bugs ect

I use WM 6.1, but only chinese version... i don't understand nothing, but....... radio works perfectly in my country. it's the first time, when my phone works good, when i am talking with somebody... you can find this rom in the ffboys rom link (somewhere in last posts there is a link for 6.1)I AM VERY SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Strange. I've been using ffboy's Sense Rom with 5005.1600.05 radio and my call quality is worse. Loads of people here are saying it was better for them. Mind you, it was the same story with the original 6.5 update. Loss of people had problems, but others swore blind that it was perfect for them, with some even suggesting that we must have had a bad batch with a unique hardware fault. I think it's fair to say I ruled that out. I've had 8, some of them refurbs, but the last two were brand new replacements. They were all the same for me. A couple of people suggested it was more to do with varying quality in beteen gsm or 3g areas of network coverage.
One thing I noticed that helped sometimes was to change the volume slider up or down and for some strange reason, the other caller would say that it was better, but then it would get bad again after a few minutes. I once tried dialing my own number and leaving a message on my own voicemail to see what was happening and I discovered that the sound started breaking up particularly at the point when the screen turns off shortly after the start of the call. Anyone else noticed that?
Confused.
Like some others, I found the latest UK Toshiba update to be the best for me so far, although not prefect.
Has anyone had problems with 5005.1700.05?
i had big problems with the 1700 radio. So i had to go back on a rom with a 1600 radio.
I tried 1600 radio version it is not that good. My friend can hear heavy echoing and the time for phone to response is too slow(in my case 20 secs later). WM6.1 has much better radio quality.
I used Japanese version of tg01, when flashed Uk rom radio dont changed, how to change radio for this version ? plz help me, this radio version is really suck (sorry my bad english)

Hi Everybody,
I would like to know ,What is the meaning of radio version number? 1500,1600,1700 it mean frequency?(5005.1500.05,5005.1600.05,5005.1700.05)

No frequency related, those(&many others) are radio software versions (generally fitted to certain ROM versions, depending on country?!), so far nobody knows precisely differences between them...
