Radio question for WM5 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

so i decided to flash back to WM5 after having too many missed calls with every WM6 rom i tried. My question is, can/shoul i use a different radio with WM5? I'm using 2.19 and have spotty reception, especially in my office. Just not sure if the radios out there that I tried with WM6 will play nicely with WM5 (i.e., am i going to hve the missed call problem).
thanks!

if you having data transfer that will cause missed call problem any wm5 and wm6 rom.i am using wm6 snd 2.i dont have any missed call problem with any radio rom.nevertheless when i am downloading something that moment i am having missed call.thats it..do u understand me what i am trying to say my friend...my suggestion is cingular 2.25 is good choice.signal is better than 2.19..sorry about my english.cheers

thanks..i'll give it a shot

Ivan Speed with Radio Downgrade

Hello everyone!
I wanted to let everyone know that I definately appreciate the effort put forth to get Blue Angels to run W2K5.
Ivan 4.0 thus far had the best results for my Siemens SX66 w/ out camera. I was running Ivan with Radio 1.15.
I have kept up with Mamaich's updates and decided to downgrade my radio back to 1.12 to see if there would be any sounds improvements. I noticed right away that the speed of the device improved dramatically especially regarding actual rings from when callers call me. When callers call me, it doesn't just sit there and show me and ring on the third ring but it really does ring on the first time the call routes through. NO DELAY!
Also, when placing calls and answering calls, i noticed a dramatic upgrade in speed.
I wanted to also thank everyone involved in making a base rom.
I had a request to really find out how to integrate my software into the rom directly thus improving the available space on my phone. Extended rom is showing but I didn't know how to use it.
I also installed items into the SD card without any problems but if there is a link of something i can read to learn how to preinstall certain cab files and software, i would appreciate it.
Thanks everyone! Let me know if other radio editions improve call handling!
Hi there!
For the last few days, I keep on saying the same thing: radio version 1.15 has problems with WM5. See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48215&start=75 so I have downgraded to radio version 1.13. Have you tried radio version 1.13 vs 1.12? I haven't seen any difference between 1.12 and 1.13 (using European networks). I'd like to have your report if possible. Thank you.
well ive been using radio 1.13 since ever..never upgraded..my OS , details are in my signature...but yes ive got the call delay..around 2-3 seconds..
otherwise calling too is decent..not too fast as baeshin has said..maybe i will try downgrading to 1.12 and see the difference
i also use sx66, can you tell me where i could get 1.12 radio rom? thx!
I guess I would like this older Radio too... could not hurt to much to try it out.
the files should be on the ftp. i tried to downgrade to 1.13 but i don't think it was meant for siemens sx66. i recall reading somewhere that it was for another device.
1.12 radio rom can be found in 1.40 WM2003SE ROM

Missed calls on WM6 ROM + 2.47 Radio anyone?

Has anyone else noticed their wizards missing calls and txts since updating to WM6? It seems to have the same problem that the AKU3.x ROMS have with missed calls, but not as bad. So far I've noticed that I'll miss a call if the phone has been in standby for a couple of hours. Wake it up and phone calls start coming through again. I'm using 2.47 radio from molski's 2.26 final rom, and had no problems with missed calls before I replaced 2.26 with WM6.
WM6 Crossbow + 2.47.11 Radio (Molski.Biz.AKU2.3)
I have on at least one occasion. So I'm not sure if that was a fluke or a similar problem you face. I've got the same setup though, WM6 (Orwells) with the 2.47.11 radio.
I've also noticed weird things with this ROM such as email notifications that are setup to blink the light on the phone amber with no limit and also ding. Sometimes I checked to see that I did get an email according to the Today Screen plug-in, but it never dinged or flashed the amber light. So I will soft reset it and it then it works fine.
Phone did not show missed calls and voicemail indicator does not show either. I called my voicemail and there were a ton on messages.
G3 Tmobile MDA
WM6
2.47.11 Radio Rom
IT HAS BEEN STATED MANY TIMES! That this is a beta rom. There are lots of bugs and problems with these roms. These are not final roms. They were still in testing when they were leaked. From what i have seen and read some people were recommending going with the 2.19 radio rom. i have the 2.26 radio and it works good enough for me here in southern ca. i have had no problems at all. So try flashing with another radio or just switch back to a more stable rom guys. Good luck
Hi
I had same problem but installed 2.19 radio rom and everything is fine. Therefore I say use 2.19 radio rom, works best with AKU 3.3 rom.
FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE USING WM6 !!!! INSTALL RADIO VERSION 2.19 IT IS THE ONLY VERSION THAT WORKS WITH ANY ROM SO DOWNLAOD AND INSTALL IT !!!!! with other radio roms u get missed calls and other problems so the best way to solve is to install radio ROM version 219 this has been discussed in many topics in Farias and molskis ROMS and in WM6 roms threads.
Are you talking about the file "T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly.zip" on the FTP site ?
Because I saw indeed strange things with my phone and after reading this post, I checked and saw that I was using radio 2.47.11
i live in an area with a weak signal. in the 2.19 radio my reception is much worse and i have a larger area in which i get no reception at all.
hello, i have the 2.47.11 and no problems. SMS, GPRS, Bluetooth ... Al works perfekt-
regards Sven

same with me i think it depends were you live. like me 2.19 doesent work for me i would get dropped calls.
Well. I live in a large metro area so coverage is usually excellent. I don't have problems with missed calls when using AKU2.x ROMs. Its just a prob with AKU3.x and WM6 ROMs. When I played with AKU3.x ROMs, changing the radio ROM didn't make much of a difference. Even so, I went ahead and downgraded the radio to 2.19.11 anyway to see if it makes a difference in WM6. Also, the problem only occurs after the phone has been on standby for a couple of hours or more.
WM6 + 2.19.11 Radio ROM
I wonder if it has to do with GSM 850/1900
I wonder if it has to do w/ different ROM's liking different GSM frequencies. Cingular's (I'm sorry 'the New AT&T') network is so mixed up, it uses a combination of all 3 frequencies. At least T-Mobile's frequencies are consistant throughout their network, but their coverage isn't as good.

I live in a big city and usually have good coverage. The 2.19.11 radio does have significantly weaker signal reception than the 2.25 or 2.47 radios. Unfortunately I had to make a choice between staying on AKU2.x and using the radio of my choice or going with AKU3.x and sticking with 2.19. Right now I am testing the 2.61 radio and it seems to be working with AKU3.3. I have had 2 calls that went directly to voicemail but I am beginning to think that was just a network fluke and not an issue with the radio. No delayed or missing notifications. All attempts to call my phone are making it to the phone. Testing is still in progress and maybe the issue just hasn't reared its ugly head yet. But I am beginning to be hopeful that I can have my cake (AKU3.3) and eat it too (good radio)

Not getting some texts/calls

After upgrading to an older release of WinMo6, I haven't been getting calls and texts most of the time. I still get calls and texts, but not all go through. Also, I can make calls and texts without problem. I believe this is due to a faulty Radio, is it?
Also, what is a good radio to base a newer installation of WinMo6 in? What are your guys' preferences for WinMo6 distributions and why? I'm still deciding x3.
-edit
I'm on Cingular
You definitely want T-Mo UK 2.19.11 radio ROM. I'm on Cingular as well, and was missing some calls on 2.25.something with WM6, but after reading the Radio Upgraders Thread (should be one of the first listed here, its sticky--thanks Kyphur!) I downgraded just the radio rom and have had no problems. Faria as well recommends the 2.19.11 Radio ROM in his WM6 Thread. Can't get any better than that. Flashing a radio rom won't change any of your other settings, so its a pretty harmless operation.
I also see a new 2.40 rom from Faria, is that ok too?
Also, my WM6 is pretty old. I would like to upgrade it. What are the better choices out there now?
Also, you're on Cingular USA, right? I just don't want any mistakes lol.

Feel free to try what you want, but myself and a lot of other Cingular users on all WM6 roms have only had good luck with the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio (and yes thats in the US). No missed calls or SMS. I've also tried the 2.40 one and you can read my report in that thread (in a nutshell, it quits working when the phone sleeps). So load up 2.19 and enjoy WM6 on Cingular. Downside is 2.19 seems a little weaker and slower to acquire signal. But its not much different for me than when I was on the stock ROM.

After 2 weeks of trial and error, I am happy to say that mfrazzz's advice is spot on (and worked for me, finally!).
The last couple weeks have been hellish due to missed calls and texts. As a newly single guy, I can't afford to miss phone calls (or texts), if you know what I mean.

where can i find 2.47.11 radio rom to download

i went from 2.19 to 2.61 but not any better. can someone forward me the link to download 2.47.11 radio rom cab file?
i tried to search but when i put in the search field 2.47.11 radio rom, 21 pages of related topics pop up and i can't find anything in terms of downloading this rom.
thanks, m3m3

hey xeno,
seeing that you are senior member, i have some questions for you.
how do you like 2.69 rom? here is my situation that i am running into with my 2.19 radio rom.
i cannot receive signal in my house but as soon as i walk outside, it get 4 bars but it takes awhile to recover. i tried 2.40 before but during a call, i could not switch over with call waiting and sometimes, when i call my voicemail, i could not hang up. so, i went back to 2.19. 2 days ago, i installed 2.61 but i don't get any better signal strength than 2.19. but with 2.61, i am experiencing the same problem of not being able to hangup during a call or navigating through my voicemail box. it seems as though it doesn't recognize any button inputs or touch screen inputs.
i bought a longer lasting battery for my MDA so power drain is no issue. the main issue is reception which i will trade off with battery life.
my question to you is are you happy with 2.69 with regard to reception and recovery of lost signal?
maybe i should try 2.69...can you point me to the download?
i am running SPL 2.17/IPL 2.17 on Faria's Crossbow
thanks in advance.

2.69 isn't bad, but I liked 2.47 a lot better. Unfortunately 2.47 has problems with 2.47. I know that there were people working on solving the problems with most of the radio versions not working with WM6 but I haven't checked those threads in a while to see if anyones has solved it or not. I know they were getting somewhere when it came to the cingular netwrok working with them but I have t-mobile so that won't help me much.
I'm not sure where the 2.69 rom is off hand and don't feel like searching for it at the moment so I'll just upload it for you. Try out 2.47 first though and see if it works well for you. The navigation problem problem through your inbox might not be a radio problem, there are a few roms that have problems with DTMS which sends the tones over an already connected call. Theres quite a few threads on here about that problem, just search DTMS and you should be able to find something on ways to solve that problem.

I've had 2.47 radio on a G3 ever since i flashed molki's 2.26 OS and have successfully used along with WM6 (since day one). Signal has always been strong even inside my house that is covered by a hill.
The only issue i'm experiencing is with TheEquinoxe's reTouched ROM and BT that pairs devices but they can't 'see' the phone but can't say if the radio is to be blamed for this.
i've searched for DTMS but the search pulled up nothing under Wizard except for this thread. any ideas??

Maybe it's just the .318 WM6 versions that have been having that problem then. Using any other radio versions with it other than 2.19 or 2.69 causes you to have a lot of missed calls.
m3m3, I'll have to do a little searching and see if I can find those threads for you. It's been a while since I've seen them.
Well, I figured out part of your search problem, it's DTMF not DTMS. Sorry about that.
Looks like reinstalling your phone dialer pad should fix the problem. The only other solutions I came across all involved doing a hard reset.
lol...thats fine man. after i installed 2.69 radio rom, i missed a buttload of calls especially from my wife which wasn't too good. had to go back to 2.19 radio. hopefully, someone can program a good radio rom that doesn't miss calls and increases reception otherwise, I will have to migrate to the iphone and to cingular (att)....

Radio ROM 2.71.11 + Fix?

Hello, quick question:
If I have upgraded the radio rom 2.71.11, do I still apply the XDA Cingular Radio Fix2?
Btw, I'm using T-Mobile in the US, if that matters...
ROM:

Where does it come from?
I thought the 2.69 was the newest release
2.71.11 is newest radio rom for kjam.i am using last 3 days.very nice,no miss call or internet problem.very good signal.by the way i am using molski 2.26 wm5 final rom.you can find radio 2.71.11 under the wm6/the boring rom title.good luck
Should I install the fix if I get the new radio?
I'm not usually an early adopter for new roms, but I decided to throw this one on and give it a go. Glad I did. So far, I've seen a very marked improvement for both signal strength as well as the time to recover signal compared to both the 2.19 and 2.69 radio roms. I'm presently using it with the Cingular fix, so I can't comment on whether or not it's needed. Hopefully this continues to work well. The strength is fantastic. Using on Tmobile in nothern New England.
Miss calls on this 2.71.11?
Lets share our experience with the 2.71.11
Phone locks up after about 1 in every 3 calls.
IPL:2.21.0001
SPL:2.21.Olip
Radio:2.27.11 w/XDA Cingular fix 2
Ext Rom: TNT.1933
I have been using Radio 2.71.11 since it was posted and have had not one problem with it. I do get better reception. Battery drain is the same. When I first flashed radio 2.71.11 I added the radio fix cab and it showed no connection and searching, so I uninstalled the cab and all is fine?
just a thought, matbe you have to have IPL/SPL 226 or 308 for the radio to function properly
ipl/spl 308 bluetooth issue
i have an mda vario t-mobile in the uk on pay monthly. since the 308 rom in december, the bluetooth has done weird things. i can now run my motorola stereo headphones on the rom software instead of using the zoki bt cab which fixed the skipping tracks on the previous rom, but now my vario won't talk to my tomtom. an error message saying that it can't find the 'voice gateway' flashes up on the tomtom (one xl), momentarily before the tt tells me it can't find the services on the phone.
hmmm.. is there a way round this apart from sell the phone?

Although I am hesitant to attribute it to the radio rom upgrade, since installing the radio rom 2.71.11 on my phone missed calls have shown up as they should and my particular wm6 rom is known to have an issue with missed calls where they show up as "received calls" when gprs is active.
I'm unaware of any other changes which would have corrected this.
I can also state the rom has been performing well for me..I tether heavily and response has been nice...previously I was on the 2.69.11 rom which would occasionally "go off into limbo" and have to be reset on long tethering sessions..so far *looks for wood to knock on..settles on using his own skull* this has not occured on 2.71.11
I will give a try(as sson as my battery charges over 50% ) than I'll report here
flashing now...I'll report back soon...
Hi,
That is a nice version.
How can I install this ROM and do I loose all my settings when installing it?
Many Thanks
Does anyone know if this fixed the 8125's phone and data issue? I am having the issue and would like to know if I need to downgrade to the 2.1* radios or if this will resolve the issue.
And secondly... (OK totally noob here) I still need to CID unlock this phone with hard-SPL? or would it be better to use SoftSPL so I don't void my warranty?
Thanks,
SoBBie
PS the issue I am referring to is post in any places. It is that you will drop a call if your phone tries to connect to the internet.
Data rates went up but missed calls
I have wm6 tnt 1933 series rom date 9/30/07 ipl/spl 2.26
Mspeed test went up to 70kb from 39kb radio rom 2.19.11.
I never received calls and never received vm reminder.
If it matters I have the cingular fix installed.
Anyone have such issues.
Edit
switched back to 2.19.11
upgraded to ipl/spl 3.08
mspeed test went up to 70kb plus
received all calls
upgraded to 2.71.11
lost the E icon only shows G
mspeed test stayed around 70kb and up
No calls coming in
going back to 2.19.11
about: calls
2 day using this radio report:
No missed calls " about time"
Good battery performance
Good signal recovering
4 to 5 bar of signal all the time
signal
The signal is not the best
But i probe the 2.61 and I have always much better signal

I use wm6 tnt 1933 and had the same issues. I would have a whole day of missed calls with no voicemail reminder. I have the cingular fix installed but there is still no improvement. I just flashed to 2.71 so I will let you know how this works in a couple of days.
