You know what, i look at this forum everday hoping to improve my phone. I don't know anyone else who does this, and those that know I do think i'm mad.
All i'm trying to do is get a good sigal on my phone. I've tried flashing every radio ROM and and its time to face up to it... we'll never get a decent signal on these things.
I get two bars in my house. Just put my sim into a nokia n82 and its constantly on full bars! 3.5g too constantly.
Have I got a duff phone? or are all these HTC TDs just crap at what their primary purpose is ... to connect to a mobile network properley?
Shame. i'm thinking of buying an i900 Omnia instead, Is this any better for signal strength? maybe i should use my old nokia 2110 from the 90s. prob has a better battery still than the HTC TD!
Just out of curiosity... Why are you posting this as a new thread in the rom development forum?
I'm also looking for better signal strength... Have been ever since getting my diamond. I've also flashed all available radio roms... But this is (at least in my experience) quite common with these phones... After a couple of month (and a couple of version updates to radio roms) for the most part resolved...
The diamond is the first phone which give me full bars at my home. Using .05 radio.
No probs at all.
I understand your beef with eh signal man but this is not the correct place to voice your issue as this part of the forum is for ROM development.
Have you tried other Radios too?
To see 2 or 5 bars - it is a question of programming. This does not mean, you will have a "better" signal on a different device.
On the other hand, your handset can be also defected.
BTW I think this is not the right forum to post this problem.
Because i've been trying all the radio ROMS here and they don't seem to make any difference to the RF. Maybe battery power is improved. I read that elsewhere that the poor signal was just down to the ROM.
Does a Radio ROM exist that actually improves reception?
Thanks,
Mark

Really? maybe I have duff hardware? Sorry if i posted this in the wrong area (hangs head)
Any advise would be great though. Just flashing ROM .5 again . I've been usign .7 and .11 also .8 but nothing spectacullar. Duttys ROM is great for all else though. These phones would be nothing without xda developers!
Thanks again
Mark
Ya YOU are mad posting this on the ROM section!

Please can someone move this thread into another section? I don't think i'm going to be able to sleep otherwise!
goodnite. now u can sleep.
ps: jus cudnt stand seein u get mad on ur own!
I have a complete opposite exprience. Before i had orange i had no reception in my house. Neither with the sim in my diamond. I changed to hi/kpn and got 2 bars inside and 2 outdoors (with radio .03). With radio .05 2 bars inside and 3 bars outdoors. With .07 the same as .05 only faster gps fix. Now with .08 i have 3 bars inside and 4 outdoors.
ill sacrifice a bar or two ANY day to have the coolest device in the world. im almost batman!

With duttys roms i always got gps issues, using swiftblades 6.0 lite now. I get a gps signal in my living room (near windows) which was not possible with older phones i used or with any of my girlfriends phones.
But i can tell you it was a hard way of trying roms and settings to get my diamond working nearly perfect.
I think its a good mix of a rom, radio and settings.
Only way is trying.
...its no advertise for the diamond. Its still a nice ppc but i prefer other devices.

I'm with you on this, if all we wanted was better reception we'ld never be buying these things. (Mine last almost a year at best) It's all about tweaking, playing & most of all coolness (My teenage kids will kill me)
Sorry for the n00by question guys! I had a g1 at first and i thought it was broken so I had to get a cliq from tmobile. but i found a way to fix the g1 but i rooted it to use as my experiment phone since i got the cliq. well, after 2 weeks the cliq is starting to be a nuisance. there's "dead spots" in the touch screen because of calibration issues, it's very buggy and i just don't really like it.
sorry for the tangent, i just wanted to share the background of why i was going back to my g1 that i rooted.
so, will a tmobile rooted g1 work with the android data plan? If anyone is wondering I have the MLIGN Hero 3.3 rom on the phone, that won't affect anything will it?
p.s.
thanks so much for the help, i know that this is a very n00b question, but i greatly appreciate the help that will come from you guys.
Nope. Im pretty sure everything will stay the same.
Been switching roms for months now and havent seen any changes to my data plan
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF YOU SWITCH ROMS. I been switching ROMs like I will try 3 ROMs a day then use a backup to go to a stable ROM.
With some ROMs to get data you need to put in the correct APN settings so don't freak out if a ROM doesn't support t-mobile's apn for some reason.
wow thanks for quickly replying guys! i didn't check till now because i didn't think i was gonna get anything so soon. I appreciate it :] and thanks for toning down my paranoia haha.
@AndroidNoobie: thanks for letting me know about the whole APNs thing. I would ask you about it right now but i'll use the search tab first if anything pops up, thanks again!
np dude glad to help.
hey as some of yall have seen ive been trying just about everything to get better 3g lately lol. however heres my question after a few nights of googleling i found that ppl have hacked and modified att gsm radios and got crazy speed increases so im wondering if the same thing could be done with a cdma radio saftley that is because flashing a radio is one of the riskiest things you could do. Major props to anyone who thinks they could pull this off and i would deffinitly be down to test if the time came.
Yes, it is possible and there's a post on how to do it somehwere here on XDA. I can't seem to find it, but if you search you should run into it. I haven't done it yet becasue I don't have any signal issues and, based on the poll, about half of the people noticed an improvement.
Hey everyone,
I`ve only had my N1 for a little over a week and I'm loving playing with it. I've noticed however that the download speeds are pretty bad in general, particularly on WiFi where on my GNex I get very fast speeds. I'm wondering if there's something that's limiting the speed and if so, it is fixable? Perhaps flash a new radio? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Flashing a new radio won't help with the downloading speeds and, keep in mind, that the JB ROM for N1 is still in pre-alpha so don't compare it with the lastest GNex. The N1 is over 2 yrs old!!!

Oh yeah, I don't expect the same performance at all! I was just surprised at the striking difference in download speeds in particular. I had an Evo 4G and my roommate had a Backflip (both released relatively near each other) and WiFi speeds were faster=/ I've noticed it on my N1 using CM7.2, two ICS ROMs, and Evervolv's JB...so I suspected it wasn't a ROM issue, rather a hardware one. The only thing I could think to tweak is the baseband/radio firmware.
Hi FOlks-
Have had my Captivate since 10/1/10- and its my third on same contract. Once I updated this last one to GB(stock) thats where my problems began with going to sleep andtouchpad unresponsive.
I then read up what I could and finally decided to roll up sleeves. I rooted and had on the Corn Kernel- and was underwhelmed. I then figured out how to load DOC's Master ICS v12, and while I have throroughly enjoyed it- I am having signal issues, especially in my home- that I wasn't having before. I've noticed that battery life- even after making the changes per Vibranturk- I am lucky to get 2.5 days on light use.
I have been noticing that on my Cell Standby heading- if I look at it- it tells me 10% of the time I have had no signal. I am sure this is killing battery while pinging.
Tonight I flashed Modems- first KF1, with a slight increase on my strength meter, and then KB3- with no appreciable change. I then hit the keys *#*#4636#*#* to enter service mode. I am assuming this is where I would get my signal strength numbers???? Inside my house I am getting -103 to -107. Once I step outisde- I increase 2 bars, and my strength goes to -95 or -93.
Am I stuck, or should I just try flashing back to stock GB, getting a baseline and starting all over again???
Thank you
Chris

Since ur r running ICS... U need to be flashing these modems --- http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html .
U will just have to keep trying til u find what works best for you. I'm currently running ugkc1 and it works very well in my area (central Arkansas).

Awesome!!! Thank you. I was doing some searching in the DEV section looking at titles for MODEM. I didn't see this link before. I did run across the one saying to flash KF1 before going to KB3. Tried them both with no luck.
I did see a reference to wiping when flashing a modem. Not to sound too much like a newb(I guess I am)-I know to wipe dalvik, etc when flashng a rom- I need to do same on a modem??
Thanks again-
Chris

I have never wiped anything when flashing a modem.
2.5 days? I've never had this phone last that long before, even with no use.

Believe it or not on Eclair I was up to 4 days with not much use. This was with shutting off at night, and then I realized my Sync was turned off as well. Up till recently though I was getting 3 Sixteen hours day with juice to spare.

Tried a number of modems to no avail. Today at home I was at 20% time without a signal. I am gonna try reflashing, and if that doesn't work- I will go from DOC's Master back to a GB Rom(thinking Legend 5). If nothing else- I may get comfortable with flashing!!!
