Hi all,
Ive seen a few threads opened up but redirected to the radio thread with no answer.
Im pretty technical and have gone through a few phones. Ive got a Kaiser now and im in Australia on Telstra.
The threads that i have seen detail how if you are Telstra customer and are on a newer radio people you are talking to get your voice FADING in and FADING out
Can you assist?
Cheers
Anthony
bump - what no one has come across any fade issues?
Nah, none of us are daft enough to use telstra
Seriously though - I'm with three, never heard of this issue with the tytn. Theres a 1.70 radio available at HTC HongKong e-Club or through the Kaiser ROM thread, its easy to flash/upgrade - just connect your cable & run the exe. Maybe that'll help ?

I take it that means your flashing to the ROM I referred you to (detailed in your post on the ultimate radio thread at 11.38 yesterday) means the WWE Hong Kong ROM/Radio/SPL upgrade both I and snachez referred to has made no difference? If you've not been able to flash that ROM yet, give it a try first and let us know how you get on.
Update :
Flashed to HK SEA Radio 1.70.19.09
Certainly better than 1.71.xx.xx but still not 100%
Hmmm - i dont think im going to get much traction out of the new polaris roms but ill give it a shot and report back

Did you try the accompanying HK WWE ROM and HTC SPL 3.34 (the complete package) as well? If you have and you're still having probs then given that this combination has been found to work OK with at least one other Aussie network (from reports here at xda-dev), it's time to complain to Telstra and see what they have to say.

No i havent tried the complete package.
The problem is Telstra is unique with their nextG UMTS 850 network and as they didnt bring in the Kaiser to Australia they would laugh at you if you asked any questions (trust me i have some inside knowledge )
Its back to trying different roms.
i am in Au with telstra gsm (not 3g though) and have used multiple roms/radios with no issues with calls.

So given all the other feedback, will the complete SEA WWE ROM package be the first? Maybe someone with the ROM can verify whether the Connection Wizard lists Telstra as an option under Australias network options...
Hmmm if it comes to dire straits ill load the entire rom as suggested but the history of this phone and my gut tells me the problem is specific to the Radio ROM.
What ive learnt
This is only a Telstra NextG issue (not seen on optus/voda/3).
Specific to the 850UMTS band
Niki and Emo Radios similar results.
Im currently testing the new polaris Radio 1.59.44.02 and so far with better results. Its only been a day so far so ill post back ... again!
Telstra Kaiser owners feel free to bump this...
I don't have a Kaiser but a Polaris with Telstra and that runs fine @ 850 mhz with Polaris radio 1.59.44.02
Crystal clear reception and no fade in/out.
I believe the hardware in our two devices are similar/identical, so I don't think it's a network issue - I think you are on the right track trying different rom/radio combinations until you find one that works best. Good luck.

Your spot on .. POLARIS radio 1.59.44.02 has had the best results out of all so far.
People report they get the odd crackle but no fade in and or out.
What does HTC Australia say?
Hmm, given HTC have a presence in Australia and their recommended Radio for the TyTN II sold there currently shows 1.65.16.25 on their website (the one that gave me next to no GPS functionality when released here for UK customers), how has anyone done getting an official HTC solution to this problem with the TyTN II and the Aussie Telstra network? Is HTC Australia even aware of the problem? I hope they are more responsive that HTC here in the UK.

As far as I know there is no HTC Australia - only an importer. All of the HTC support for this region is run out of Asia, and in my experience, not too flash.
I've been using a TyTn II all year on the Telstra Next G network for my business (average 20 calls a day) and have flashed a few roms in that time but have never had anyone complain about sound quality with any of the Roms I've used. I use a Jawbone 2 bluetooth headset most of the time and I'm currently using the 3.34.721.2 WWE Rom with the 1.70.19.09 Radio and HardSPL 3.29 hard2 and can't recommend it highly enough, battery life is brilliant !!!
Hope this may be useful info.

I'm getting ready to head to Ireland for a week. My current radio is 1.65.20.29 (Rom at the moment in L26, but it changes fairly frequently). Any advice for radio/rom combos which might be appropriate for long battery life while in Ireland (quickgps fix etc. not so important)? I will
likely have access to WiFi and be trying to avoid 3g data charges by turning on GSM mode.
(ATT customer, by the way, but likely to be roaming onto Vodafone in Ireland).
The operators and mobile network in Ireland is effectively the same as in the UK. Your current radio will work fine in Ireland. As of yet I have had no issues with any of the radios I used in Ireland. Currently I am using the new 1.71.09.01 emo radio and it seams to be very good in Ireland north and south.

Thanks for the information. I looked at the emo thread (who doesn't want the latest toy?) but the battery consumption reports seemed like it wouldn't be optimal for this trip, since I want to keep to charge every second day or os.
Thanks again!

1.) Put all the ROM / RAdio's you want to try on your MicroSD Card
2.) Flash to your hearts content via MicroSD.

Since the match-rom-to-spl convention came about, I've been doing that a lot less (since I switch between 3.29 SPL and 3.56 SPL for different roms), but I might load a couple that match the same SPL.
Good idea, thanks.
I own a Diamond since yesterday and have noticed having problems with 3G carriers (specifically H3G Italy) searching on the net I've seen that many people from different countries have the same problem. I think that the problem should be the radio rom shipped with the diamond. Actually I tested 1.00.25.03/05/06 all with poor signal or loss of signal or roaming.
I adviced HTC of the problem (saying that 3G signal is very poor) indicating the os rom and the radio rom.
Everyone that has the same problem should notify HTC on this form http://www.htc.com/europe/CS_Mail.aspx
so, perhaps, can begin working on it.

SEARCH Junior!!!
Agree with this 3G signal dows not improve on all Radio ROMs
I can confirm this.
I had a TytnII before I got the Diamond, and I tested them for a week against each-other.
The TytnII had 3G coverage about everywhere I live, but only 3-4 bars.
The Diamond mostly have 1 to nothing...

Hi Sergio,
what do you mean? Should I search the signal or should I search somewhere else here on the forum? I didn't find nothing but I'll give another look.
Any hints?
Hopefully the .16 rom will improove things a bit. I really hope that its a rom issue and not a hardware issue.

Do you know when it will be released?
There is a rom in the raphael forum with it but its the whole rom and not just the radio. I've emailed HTC - doubt ill get a responce. I'm suprised there isn't greater interest in this problem.
Incidently i think the .11 radio gave me slightly better 3g reception.

everytime when i visit htc-e-club, there is a song in my head >
i`m waiting,waiting, for you... *lol*

It looks to me that HTC has rushed the release of this phone before they properly tested it (most likely to coincide with the release of 3G iPhone). They are using us, their customers, to test it for them.
The 3G reception here in Australia is very bad (never above 2 bars) and it constantly switches over to GSM, which in some cases causing for a call to be dropped. Pathetic.

Hi broncos nice to see you I think tomorrow I will call HTC by phone
i wondering if there is a Serie of devices which have those problems ,
2 of my collegues have also a diamond , in the same room with the same Provider , i have NO or 1bar when they have full ??
Now i tried alot of ROM's and i came to the conclusion to send the Device to HTC, so i have to flash back to SSPL ...
1st HTC and no luck ...
The same problem in Spain with the carrier "Yoigo". I have already sent the appropriate message to HTC.
I have send email past week but I don't have answer.
I think it's a big big problem!!!. What HTC doing to solve it?
it does nothing???!!!
Hi guys
3G is not everywhere yet even here at my place it often goes down depending on where I am.
But when I have this problem and look at my friends Iphone he has the same problem. So I wonder if this is a diamond\Iphone or a provider problem?
Grtzzzz
it's 3 years that i use only 3G phones and only with diamond i have this problem (i read also iphone has the same problem)
but it is sure that the problem is of the diamond (and iphone) because all the other phone dont' have problem (also 3Gphones pay 20/30euros have no problem!!!)
I just hope that its a software problem rasther than a hardware fault.
Hi,
i have just bought an O2 Stellar (unlocked) from ebay. Until now i have always got my phones direct form the network so a used phone is a first for me. My current device is a Tytn (TM Vario II)
What do i need to do when it arrives in order to get it working with my Tmobile SIM?
I intend on trying some new roms on it after xmas, are there any that favour gps performance? i am hoping to do a bit of geocaching.

Welcome to xda-dev. The first thing you should do as a new person here is to read the wiki for Kaisers (which includes the XDA Stellar, O2s variant), also the sticky posts here. There's lots of info there that'll be helpful. I've never owned a Stellar, just the generic HTC version but I would imagine unless it's already been unlocked by the previous owner, it'll be sim locked to O2 so you may need to unlock it. The simple way to see if this is the case is to try your T-Mobile sim in it. I think it'll depend where you reside as to whether other changes will be required because not all T-Mobile network characteristics are the same and some locations have specialist/uncommon settings.
As far as ROMs with good GPS performance go, the current UK World Wide English Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM has very poor GPS performance here in the UK compared to the original Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM and that seems to be fairly common with many of the WM 6.1 ROMs although different radios teld to make a difference according to reports here. Again it'll depend where you reside.
hi,
the device had better be unlocked.. it is advertised as so! It is claimed it is only 6 months old and came unlocked from the network. I guess being only six months old it will have a 6.1 rom already on it so i'll see how i get on wth that first then think about putting the older rom on it.
i am in UK, East Lothian to be a little more precice.
hi,
i am really struggling to get my phone to work for internet settings for t-mobile.
can anyone tell me the password for tmobile internet or is it user specific?
I just found this FANTASTIC thread :

Yes i have a question concerning about the 3G network for AT&T. I have read alot of sticky's, threads new and old and can't seem to get a definite answer to what i am looking for. I really didnt want to post this, but i have searched everything by going into the search tab at the top. So i was wondering does the version Diam100 from EU/Asia have the hardware to support 3G for AT&T. I know it says it in the tabs on the phone that it can recieve the 3G band, but i have read its the hardware that can't but they werent sure. I've also read that some people say it needs a newer radio and/or ROM to get 3G. I really dont want to flash a new radio onto my phone if i dont need it. Can someone so kind as to tell me if it is or it is not capable so i can decide to keep the phone or not.
Thank you ever so much,
Xero
EU/Asia diamond won't work in US, i even tired swapping a US radio into a Euro Diamond and still didn't work. Only US diamond with US radio will give you 3G.
Hope it helps.
Kinda figured. But how bout this. Can anybody answer this its most likely a no but im just curious. Can you add/change the hardware from inside to receive 3G? And if so how? I know the answer is a no but someone might of done it or figured it out without messing up the phone.
us vs north america

Hey all!
i need some help guys, i cant make my 3g/hsdpa internet work on my phone. im stuck with a "e" meaning im using edge and never seen the "H" or "3g" icon to use high speed internet.
ive been reading about flashing, and roms and whatnot and i think im in the right place on how to fix it, but have no idea where to even begin..
if someone can help...greatttly appreciated.....
thankx
If you are looking to update / flash your ROM, I would suggest going to PPCGEEKS (http://www.ppcgeeks.com). They have a forum dedicated to CDMA Diamond ROMs and flashing. Everything you need, from how to unlock your phone to how to load a new ROM is there. A lot of the information found here is for international versions of the Diamond, PPCGeeks is mainly North American versions of the phone (from what I have seen). I have a Diamond with Bell Mobility, and I have found a lot of good information on PPCGeeks. You should have a look!
Hope this helps.
Unless the Touch Pro you got is the AT&T Fuze, you will not be able to get 3G. The 3G bands for all other Touch Pros are for Europe and Asia. Only the AT&T Fuze has the same 3G frequency as Rogers/Fido.
