I was looking at the stickies and it showed all different types of radios. Some say WWE and others say UK. Now I was looking at people's signatures and some have the UK with the ROM I use. Does that mean it only works in the UK? I live in Hawaii and yes we are part of the U.S. as the 50th State and no we do not live in grass shacks and yes we have electricity and Internet and no I'm not Hawaiian and yes i get asked these questions all the time. anyways I have Dutty's WM6.1 5.2.19199 ROM and I was thinking of going with 1.64.08.21 because of the review. I couldn't find on Dutty's 5.2.19199 thread which radios are compatible. I don't have any problems with sound but I wanted to see if it will help with my signal.

You can flash just about any radio for Win 6.1 except 1, check the first 2 post of Dutty's post where he posted the rom and it should give you all the information you need.
just make sure u flash a 6.1 compatible radio...as for signal u just have to try to see which one is best for ur location or ask if theres any other ppl in ur area
1.64.08.21 is a good radio and will work just about anywhere in the world. The reason so many people have different radios is because in different places in the world will get different results from radio to radio. I suggest you experiment with different radios and see which ones give you better battery life and signal and data and GPS lock. I personally like the Niki radio 1.58.16.27.
Thanks guys. I had a hard time figuring what Radio meant. I first i thought it was for listening to songs.
what would be good is a master list of the geographical areas and the Radio versions that people tried in that area. then have it show the signal strength results. that way noobies and people moving to new locations can just pick instead of trying over 10+ different versions. hmm, maybe that's too much work.

Yeah. That would be nice but, yes, way to much work. You won't find a huge difference between most radios. The most common radios used are the best. I think you're thinking a little too much in to it. My radio is my favorite. I use a radio for a day and compare to the day before with the last radio and then try the next. I've gone through 10-12 radios and most have very little difference. Just make sure you use one that is compatable with wm6.1 which is what I think you have.
That I will have to disagree with... I have not been able to find a WM6.1 radio that will send MMS correctly in my area yet!!!
I am in South Florida, West Palm Beach to be exact. I have HSPDA and still no WM6.1 radio works with MMS here. I send an MMS and it takes over 3 hours to get to the recipient.....
Therefore, I am stuck with WM6.0 as of right now....

It's not the radio that's causing your MMS problems. It's the ROM. Or more accurately, your MMS client. The MMS client sends and receives your MMS. You can find out what MMS software you have by going into messages then MMS. Press menu, then go to "MMS Options." Under 'about' you'll find the version number and make. It's probably arcsoft. If you have version 5, your problem may then lie in network or MMS settings. Some wm6.1 ROMS do not have a good MMS program. Dutty's last few releases have had a great one. I suggest you try Dutty's latest. Make sure you use the connection setup to automatically set-up your MMS and data settings.

I am trying Dutty's Latest rom 6.1 based on the ATT 19209 version. There is still a delay .
I didn't think it was the radio as I am able to make calls, and send regular text messages just have a long delay receiving and sending MMS ????
I am running the base at&t rom 1.62.502.0 and radio 1.27.14.09. are there any other radios I can install to test for improvement of my signal or do I have to flash another rom version?

This is a bit more complicated AT$T Stock ROMs requires Special AT$T Radios. They are listed as such in the Radio Information Thread.

That and you'll need Hard-SPL to flash a non at&t radio and rom. Search the forums for it and do a lot of researching before your first flash. A lot of researching. Flashing is very easy but you'll run into problems and have many questions if you don't research.
Read the Wiki completely and once you get near the bottom of the wiki you'll find "Available Extracted Radio Upgrade Only " which will contain many of the available radios. Find one that's at&t and download it.
Here is the Kaiser Wiki.

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.

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-

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)
enjoy....

I cant access the FTP site. It keeps asking me my usnername or something so I figure the xda login name right, but it doesnt work. Can someone upload it somewhere thanks

Download works fine for me. Just put xda in for the password. I'll check it out and see if its a reasonable alternative for the 2.19.11 rom and my Cingular service!

Thanks, I finally was able to download it. One question before I upgrade. Maybe Faria can give his input. I am a T-mobile user currently on the 2.19.11 radio rom. This seems to be the best one overall for me since it allows both data and voice calls at the same time, there are no missed calls. But reception/signal is somewhat not good. Does this new radio give better reception for T-Mobile as well as allowing both data and voice?
Thanks
Great radio rom but isn't 2.69.11 newer then 2.40.11?
Well, right, it is newer most likely. The thing is, newer isn't necessarily better for each person's circumstance. Radios are tuned for particular providers in particular places and are usually matched with particular roms. However, in my case for example, with Cingular US service, and WM6 roms, my experience and that of many others is that the 2.19.11 T-mobile UK rom is the best. The others were inconsistent in alerting me to incoming calls and pending voicemails. However the data and sound was better with the newer radios. For me not missing calls was most important, so I stick with the older rom. But, this is a new one for me, and hope springs eternal, so I'll probably give it a try and see if I can have the best of both worlds like those T-Mobile guys.
Regards,

From what I understand, 2.69.11 is the latest released German Radio rom, but 2.40.11 is a US released rom. So this may work better for US customers. I hope we can use 2.40.11 with WM6!

in the midwest US of A baby.. smoke you!
Just installed it! I will post back my results.
Since I finally experienced the awful delay in SMS receiving on the 2.69 radio ROM (after several weeks of success, I missed 4 important text messages in an hour's timeframe), I'm game for this. Downloading now...
So far my signal seems to be much better than 2.19 radio. but only time will tell.

I too am now noticing a delay\lack of SMS\Voicemail Msg after WEEKS of 2.69 working like a charm. I thought I was one of the lucking ones but now I am not so sure. Who knows how long this has been happening. Anyway, downloaded and installing right now.
Working great on WM2005 .
thanx Faria .
by the way...this is a US radio.....sorry i cant name the carrier at the moment.
I've installed this on my Cingular 8125 on the Cingular network last night. I received a test sms and another SMS from a friend in a timely manner. All test calls I've put through have worked so far. I was even downloading a webpage with Opera and phoned in and the call came through. So far so good... Tomorrow (Monday) will be the real test when I'm back to work, but I'll try to give it a workout today.
thanks for the info so far and please continue to post information on this rom and its working with wm6
P.S.-Sorry for not being able to also post information but in what i do missing a call/calls or missing a sms/sms' would cost me alot of $$$$$...(so thanks for being guinea pigs...poor pigs lol)
First timer dumb question
Hi. I am running Nottoosmart's system with radio 2.19. Things have been pretty stable, but there are times when I've had to reboot in order to reacquire the phone carrier after sleep (e.g. softreset). Also, subjectively I believe I have some signal problems when in places where there is already a weak signal.
So, bottom, line, I am considering trying this radio.
But, I have never flashed a radio before and I'd like to avoid having this become a "federal project." So a few questions:
1. I can flash the radio back and forth (e.g. ->2.40, ->2.19) *without* touching the OS (e.g. wm6 rom/ram), is that correct?
2. There are several executables in the zip: EnterBootloader.exe, romupdateutility.exe, RUUGetInfo.exe; I realize there are tutorials ad infinitum posted here, but can someone help me save some time by letting me know how to install the radio, do I just run "romupdateutility" over activesync, or is there more to do?
Please don't flame. I am an engineer, just not experienced in burning radios to MDA's. I assume the radio goes into a portion of rom that is dedicated to the phone processor of the OMAP chip?

Hello,
1) You can flash the Radio rom without messing with the OS. All of your settings and files will not be affected. It does not require a hard reset.
2) Just run the romupdateutility.exe. It works the same when you flash a new os rom, it just takes a fraction of the time due to the fact you are only flashing the radio. I just connect via USB and let activesync do its thing then run romupdateutility.exe, the program will kill activesync itself.
I hope this helps.
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.
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.

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)....

Hi guys, I really did search first, I promise. I have been having connectivity issues (not making calls, lost data connections, etc...) since I updated to the ATT Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM (3.57.502.2 WWE) with radio version 1.65.21.18. I am trying to determine if I need to upgrade my radio version. I found the thread with all the radio versions for my phone but don't know anything about them. I did get that I should try different ones until I find one that works for me. So do I need to install the HardSPL on my phone (or did the Official ATT rom upgrade do that already)? From there do I run that RUU.exe file on the desktop (or what)? It would be great if someone could put this in super simple terms for me.
Thanks in advance,

one word for your info, "WIKI"
I did look over the wiki for some time, here is my hang up. Jockyw2001 posted in an SPL thread that "SPL3.56 is part of the latest AT&T Rom which is dated June 6. 2008" So since I did the official ATT upgrade and my ROM date is 07/17/08, does that mean that I already have SPL 3.56 on my device? I can not find a post about how to determine what SPL version (if any) is installed on my device. If SPL is already installed, is there any danger in installing an older version of SPL or reinstalling one?
Thanks again

Did the problems start right after you updated?
Oh and your problem seems similar to the one in this thread here, well least is sounds similar to me anyways...

Yup, stock radio and rom as suggested by ATT, whom their customer service now claims they do not support WM6.1. I've never used a cooked rom and really only come here for device information and applications. I did have problems before I upgraded the rom but they have much worse since. The thread you posted is similar but they mostly talk about an "H" connection. I am in the DC metro area (USA) and get 3G all the time now, I wonder if that is part of the problem, I never get an EDGE network signal anymore.
Well... I just found THIS buried over on the ATT support forums

I guess we just got 3G network here. I haven't been able to make/receive calls for 5 days now. Tech support supposedly looking into issue. My phone switches bewteen 3G and EDGE constantly. Anyone else having this issue? What was the resolution? I don't want a refurbished Tilt if they can't come to a resolution (why would I want the same darn phone if it doesn't work well with 3G as advertised?) I have already drove 20 minutes to the nearest store for a new SIM card..which did no good. There isn't anyway of turning off 3G network unless I install software I have seen mentioned on this forum and well, I don't know about that...I paid for this phone to do what it said, and it isn't.

Common problem that can be either due to problems with the rollout or that the local towers cannot handle 3G as effectively or at a greater distance as the same tower could for Edge. These are some related threads and posts but there are a lot more. As noted in these posts if there is a local AT&T store run by AT&T then you might pop in and confirm some of the problems with them.

The tendency is to blame the phone but the reality is often different and that includes from customer support who offered to swap my phone several times but this obviously would not work because it affected many other users as well differing phone manufacturers and models.

Timing of it is close enough to make me wonder, but I had been using HSDPA.. But I have been getting the same problems you are talking about when the phone is set to 3g as well. The other thing that is starting to make me think its something ATT did to their network is that the OP from the thread that I linked on here lives 20 mins west of my location, and I am 15-20 mins north of DC... I may go to one of the local att stores and see what they have to say (tho that means for me that I get to flash my phone back to the stock rom )
