Best radio for xperia - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
Can you please help me,
I know there are various threads regarding this but i cannot get a definitive answer.
My reception on the xperia (stock radio) is appualing!
I need it better, what radio will give me best reception?
I will do the rest of the work in finding it and changing its HEX key if needed, but the stock radio in xperia is giving me no signal where my omnia/n95 or the touch HD (which no longer have) had signal.
Xperia radio is really bad!!!
many thanks
Stuart

Do u have it in right badn? Cos mine was some Japan band and it didnt work at all.

so far there's only 1 other than stock radio that definitely works, see the last page in the radio thread in the rom forum.

where is it?

UK O2 Radio ROM - Recommendations

I've searched through the forum but can't seem to find any topics based on this question. Of recent months, I'm having terrible problems with;
- People finding it hard to hear me from time to time (as a result of me going 'very quiet'),
- Calls not ringing through (despite volume being turned up),
- Calls cutting off despite mid-signal levels which suddenly drop.
I'm guessing all these are faults with the Radio ROM. I'm currently using 02.07.10, any recommendations on what I should be upgrading too?
try each of these: 2.09.11, 2.40.11, 2.47.11, 2.61.11, 2.69.11, 2.71.11 to find best radio for your rom!
I am on O2 UK PAYG with my Wizard and I use radio rom 02.19.11. It works really well, and is the best I have found without other issues.
if you dont search....
First of all... search but now...
radio 2.19

radio 2.71
http://rapidshare.com/files/91064086/radio_2.71.rar.html
Because nobody said his own informatin...I will said it again this is just Radio upgrade but remember... you need to be CID/SIM unlocked before do anything stupid ok?
See you soon tell us what does it works for you ok?
See you soon!

ROM Radio suggest?

Hi all,
I have some problems with TIM ROM RADIO.
The signal level is low. ( my wi-fi router is netgear and the signal on my PC is Excellent but on my PPC touch HD is bad).
Im not satisfy of that...............
The quality signal is bad.
When I've tryed all Radio functions seems work good only BT and GPS.
I've installed ROM cocked DIB 1.0 without problems.
Can someone give me a link to download a new and working ROM RADIO ?
Thk / Regards
Mike
One of the first posts in this forum has links to various radios... Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274 there are 3 different radios you can try...
Have you tryed them?
There is a better ROM RADIO?
thk for link
Yes, and looking at quite a lot of posts in the forum it looks like 1.10.25.25 is the one to go for at the moment, although some radios work better than others depending on what country and network you are on.
I think you should try 1.10.25.25 and 1.9.25.35 and check your signal strength, GPS fix time and battery life and then decide what is best for you..
Please consult the radio thread for questions related to radios.

tytn 2, cant get a signal ?

i recently bought the htc tytn 2, got it off ebay. Has the following rom
rom version 3.29.707.owwe
rom date 08/20/08
radio version 1.65.30.09
protocal version 25.101.40.08h
the problem :
Im on o2 network, its unlocked, and i recieved texts this morning on it, but the signal is crap compared to my iphone, or any other phone, its like 2 bar, and thats only occasionaly, it looses signal and takes forever to come back (if it does), its really not handy
can anyone help me, i read a few other posts using the search on the forum, and they said something about radio ???? im guessing thats what recieves the signal, and some people tried changing the gsm, again i have no clue what that is.
OH im new to the forums , so i hi guys
hope someone can help me, this phone really is awsome
If you think you need to replace the radio, here's the Ultimate Radio Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
There are instructions on the page on how to update the radio, but first I suggest you read on ROM and Radio updates on the Wiki. It'll save you some grief and worries I image.
As for why your Tilt is performing badly, it very well could be the radio because the other user perhaps was on another network, but if you find what seems like an appropriate radio and it doesn't help you might have discovered why it was on ebay.

Official network ROM related to network performance?

Hi all
Ive asked this in the orange thread and also searched for this, but cant seem to get a clear yes/no answer, hope someone can help.
I, for example, am on Orange, and use an Orange SIM.
The question is this, and a noobish one I quess: Being on Orange -- does having the official Orange Rom installed on my phone ofer me any advantages in terms of gprs/edge/ internet browsing speed? In other words, will my internet connection be faster if i have the official rom from Orange, or is this quite irrelevant, compared to (the much prefered) Roms on here? Is the official network Rom somehow "optimized" so that the internet speed is improved on a phone that runs on the same network? Orange Rom on Orange network, in this case?
Hope I make myself clear...Any clarification much appreciated! Thanks for everything...again!
Official carrier ROMs has almost got nothing to do in improving your signal strength or connection speeds. If you are concerned about that, you can different radio ROMs. But on the safe side, I suggest that if you are not having any problems, don't change anything.
Regardless of what ROM you use here, as long as you are not changing your radio. You wont have any significant change with your network connection. Fyi, as far as I know, there are 2 ROMs to use to flash a specific part in our phones. The PDA (Operating System) and radio (Phone).

Well explained.
@ skipper78 - If your looking to improve your signal, gps then your options would be to use apps like QuickGPS & HTC GPSTool or to update your radio.
Your network connection would not be altered changing to a cooked rom
Thanks a lot guys, that clarifies it once and for all -- i dont have to worry about using the undesirable orange ROM.
I am using Duttys V4.3 final, radio 1.14.25.24. Do you think this radio is one of the better options for me?
I like the rom very much -- and by the way my connection speed is not by any means "slow"--but obviously-- the faster the better.
And forgot to mention, its a blackstone.
Thanks again for the quick and clear replies!

We obviously assumed it was blackstone as your rom wouldn't have worked on another device and this is the HD forum
You are currently using the latest official radio, though signal strength also depends on location. If you want to try a non-official radio like 1.16 which I am using you would need to security unlock your device first and then download it from here.
As for which radio is best for you, you have 2 options:
1. Read each radio thread and see what results others have had in your location
2. Try each radio (only is 3-4 official ones and 3-4 un-offical, though I would only try 1.16 as it is the better of the 4)
Yes, after reading it i thought it was a bit pointless adding that
But hey many thanks for the explanations and links. Im in south america at the moment so im not really using data connection much, way to expensive -- as soon as im back in the uk i will experiment with a few different radios. How come you prefer the 1.16 if you dont mind me asking? Do you find it gives you faster connection speed?
Cheers!

I wrote a reciew on the 1.16 thread. Bsically it had a better GPS fix, better signal stength & slight improvement on battery
I'm closing this thread as everything appears to have been answered.

What Radio version should i use ?

Im from israel and my cellular carrier is Pelephone and i dunno what radio is best for my reception, wf, bt, gps....
can any1 suggest me which radio should i use??
Thnx in advance

this radio works well
hm, that question could only be answered from someone geographically near you, because it depends
what might work for me here could be total disaster for you (slightly exaggerated of course)
with radios you should give it a try and compare signal strength and battery life
my example: I flashed 1.17* w/o getting better reception than with 1.16* radio, but was of the impression my battery drained way faster than before
additional factor: rilphone.dll (or more precisely combo radio + ril)
for comparison:

I think you get the idea even just quoting a very few on the subject
