I was wondering what the Best Radio is because i Travel and need a Radio that will work in All Areas. Any advice would be appreciated. Also I read about Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.BS14. Will that work with my current settings and is it good or will it Brick my phone?
Thank you,
Mark
Phone Type: AT&T Tile 8925 Unlocked
Operating System: Hyper Dragon III OPAL (October 11th 2008)
Radio Version: One that came with Hyper Dragon III
Location: United States
I'm suprised nobody yelled at you for this one...
Try them all, see which works best.
If you travel a lot, pick up a 2 GB microSD card and have the radios on there so you can flash on the fly. That's what I did / do.

I'm taking my unlocked Tilt, sim and cid, to the balkans (serbia,bosnia,croatia,etc). Has anyone been there with their Tilt? Any issues? Also, does anyone have any advice or suggestions on which radio might be the best for that part of Europe?
Thanks in Advance!

Hope this helps.

Man these phone's are going to be i bit pricey!!!
WOnder why this is so late in Americas?
Seems to be the country of electronic in other matters *G*
yea guess will have to wait?
Be easy on me. This is all semi-Greek to me.
I bought a TyTN II from Expansys a year ago. Generally speaking, it's been a good phone...mostly.
Had to send it in to HTC get some warranty work done. While it was in the shop, I went to my local AT&T store and bought a new Tilt to use while my TyTN II was in the shop. While travelling the hinterlands of North Dakota and Minnesota, I noticed a significant difference between the Tilt's ability to grab a signal in these remote areas, and the abilities of my TyTN II to do the same.
Upon inquiry with HTC as to this noticed difference, they said it could be a radio issue. That my Expansys supplied, (European, I think) TyTN II would not necessarily have the optimum radio set for the US market. Now that I have my TyTN II back, I want to upgrade the radio and/or ROM.
So, how do I do this? I understand conceptually what they're saying, but to go beyond this, I'm kind of at a loss. If you can help me, please take me step by step. Where do I download? What version? How do I download, etc.
I have the following:
WM 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
ROM Version: 3.28.405.0 WWE
ROM Date: 05/02/08
Radio Version 1.65.17.56
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, if it makes a difference, I live and travel mostly in MN, ND, SD, and Iowa, but national travel is fairly often. No International travel.

I am living in Switzerland, and i got from a US friend his "old" TP2 because he bought the new i-phone...
now i am here in Europe and can't use it because it only accepts T-Mobile SIM cards (which we don't have in Switzerland).
Moreover i am travelling quite often because of my profession and i'm usually buying local SIM's....
Does anyone know if there is a ROM which unlocks this device?
would be great if this also contains TomTom or CoPilot navigation as i own those licences arelady frommy previous device.
As I know there are two versions of TP2:
- the "normal" HTC
- the T-mobile version which got brownish color and lacks a front cam....
my question is specifically about the brownish T-mobile version.
thanks for your help

There is no ROM that will unlock your phone for you. You have to either call T-Mobile and get them to unlock the phone for you or ask your friend to call T-Mobile for the unlock code, OR you can pay to have it unlocked by providing the IMEI number to someone who knows how to unlock it. Also, ROMs generally do not come cooked with TomTom or CoPilot, so you'd have to install those separately. I'm sure if you looked around you could find the cab files to install them.
that's interesting... my old diamond came with simlock from a local carrier... after flashing it with an open ROM, the simlock was gone...
that's why I am asking if there is simlock-free ROM for this specific type of TP2...
for the "normal" one i saw plenty ROM's but because of the differences i am sceptic if they would work.
thx for ur hints
You don't need a ROM, you need to SIM-unlock your device. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555339
Hi guys, my first post so would like to say hello firstly and glad I found a dedicated forum on WP7 and the HD7!
Anyway, I've just bought my very first WP7 and HTC handset which was from an eBay shop based in the UK.
The phone came with a EU plug so it's obviously not a UK phone but that's ok. What I am worried about though is that settings such as the radio and keyboard don't have the UK listed as an option. The radio setting only has 'World, North America and Japan' and the keyboard only has 'English US'. I did have to change the region to UK as it was defaulted to AU.
Any ideas if I can get UK listed and if it would even make a difference? Not really worried about the keyboard to be honest, but I have found the radio to be very poor - I can only pick up one station which is BBC Radio 1, and even that is quite temperamental.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
