7 radio ROM exist for our HIMALAYA -
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=132&func=select&id=26
My experience -
1.08 - Modem not ready sometimes for GPRS > need Off/On radio. Faster discharge battery ?
1.17 - Phone not reply (inaccessible) for incoming talk sometimes > need Off/On radio.
1.19 - Off/On radio (flight mode) is very slow or imposible.
which one is the most stable?
Im trying now 1.14.
Radio 1.19 is so far so good for me.
1.17 works good on my HIMALAYA(TOFCLOCK)~
signal problem
Now I`m using 1.18 .
With my experience with my device , this radio version is very bad . sometimes the signal strength lost / blank . Huhhh
I`m tired with my device .
Anyone can solve the signal problem ?
with change the radio version or what !!!
Thanks
I am still using radio version 1.08 and this is working fine for me,
Best Regards
Im still running 1.08 too but not stable enough. Will try others soon....
Hmm, right now I'm using 1.18 (were using all of them already).
Signal is good, and right now battery is 18% and I'm still able to talk, without any voice quality drop.
Still, can't return from airplane.
Hi,
Is it possible to turn the flight mode off from the wireless manager. I do not seems to be able to do that with radio rom 1.18. With radio 1.08 it was possible. Well I will use with radio rom 1.18 for a few days to see if it is stable.
Hi, having the same annoying bug for radio roms 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19 - after a reset (hard or soft) I see gsm network signal for some time (from 1 sec to 3-4 hours) and then it disappears, and there's no way to make the phone get operating again. I'm still trying the 1.08, and it seems not to have any strange behaviour... it does the same with WM2003, 2005 and 2006.
I really do not care about the battery, as long as I can receive calls so as for now, I'll keep the 1.08...
so.... it's not a bug. It seems you have a broken radio or some really old hardware? Don't know. It's PH10B, right?
@utak3r could you explain me more detail about PH10B concerning its capability. It must be good knowledge for us. Thank in advanced. Also if you have a way how to improve the performance, indeed not to change the PDA with the new one
I contacted SosTekIt, which released an Italian rom based on WM2005, and he was of the same opinion; but, in WM2005 I'm still trying with the same SIM card, I have no issues at all.
Yes, the board is PH10B, and the strangest part ever is that in WM2006 if I can make a call in the few seconds I see the signal, then the phone is fully functional, even for HOURS. But when I roam out of the gsm cell, the signal disappear.
Truly, this is freaking me out
Well, I can believe you...
This is really strange, and as for now I can find no explanation for such a behaviour. Will try to think about it, but... oh well.
Some more details...
1. Same strange behaviour in WM2005 (buzz rom)
2. The "Preferred Networks" (Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Set Networks) list shows that my mobile operator is always the last, unchecked. I modify the list, update the settings, and they keep existing until I get out of GSM cell.
3. When awakening, if the phone shows the G icon of GPRS, then it locks to the signal and never looses.
Hi. Has anyone got any experience for which radio they like best in UK on Orange?
My priorities are as follows...
1) Half decent phone / internet reception
2) Quick GPS lock
3) Good battery life (this is still fairly important!)
Thanks... if you have any pointers that would be great / save me the work!
Drunken thanks in advance...
James
look in the ultimate radio thread.
I don't think there's that level of detail on here to find it out. I'm using 1.65.24.36 gps is quick. phone is very good including great speaker phone mic pickup which was crap with my old radio (it was a 1.27 one from official vodafone rom).
I'm not sure how it stands up to battery. It depends how much you use it...
with 3g on (HSPDA enabled) constantly it's below 9 hours.
Would love to know how other orange uk users get on.
FYI I think the radio in the new official 6.1 rom is 1.65.16.25.
Also I used 1.64.08.21 which is supposed to be a good one in general but my phone vibrated to death.
---------------------------
orange UK running ROMeOS v4.1
it will all depend on your rom
pls give details of ur rom

I've since tried the 1.71.09.01. very good reception but complaints of battery drain. I didn't use it long enough to find out about the drain. I've also tried radio from the new official rom which is actually 1.65.16.25. seems ok so far. slightly worse reception than others and this might be an indicator that battery life is good
I finally got my hands on a Compact IV from T-Mobile over the weekend and so far am fairly happy with the device;
ROM Version: 1.37.110.3 WWE
ROM Date: 06/20/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09U
I have a few questions though that I don't seem to be able get answers for and would like your help.
1) Low Memory.
After installation of a only a couple of applications to the storage card, I have started receiving low memory messages. After a quick dig around I have moved the Opera cache and reinstalled google maps to the storage card but that still only leaves me 11MB out of a possible 85MB.
2) Power Settings.
Does this device turn off the Wi-Fi when it goes into standby? If so how can I prevent it from doing this? What happens is, when I wake my phone from standby, I see the the data connection icon (either H, 3G or G) and then after a couple of seconds the Wi-Fi icon reappears.
Whilst I obviously am grateful of the power saving it is causing havoc with Windows Live Messenger and other internet applications. This was never a problem with my S710, whenever I wondered out of the house the Wi-Fi would get disconnected and the data connection would pick up, WLM would re-sync and away I went.
3) Radio Version.
I have the stock T-Mobile ROM on my Compact IV. Is this the best radio version? If not then would it be advisable to flash the radio to a newer version? Would this improve signal strength?
Suggestions and advice is all greatly appreciated.

Can you find out what spl version you have. I know this is off topic but it will be useful If i have to return mine for warranty.
Now T mobile roms stock do put a lot of stuff that you dont really need hence why its eating up your memory or storage. Im not sure but not many stick with the stock rom. Its slow and I hate the colours. I changed mine after 20 miins of getting my phone
Any particular method for finding that out?
May I ask which ROM you flashed with and what advantages it has?
Thanks

Hold down the volumw down button and hit reset (where the stylus goes in there is a red button)
Well the advantages are huge of flashing. More Ram free, more storage free , A hell of a lot faster its unimaginable. Im usuing Duttys v1.6 at the moment. But if you are to flash you need hardspl to insure your device wont get bricked. I use Jocky 1.24 hardspl. Read the stickys to find out more
And there is a wifi on/off in standby option in the wifi settings.

Thanks for the info. The wireless settings I think he means are on custom roms not T mobile Stock. You can always try Diamond Tweak if you dont want to flash to another rom to tweak your stock one
I think I might try the latest standard htc one and see what that's like. I wanted to run as stock as possible for a while before flashing with tuned customers rom.
Thanks for you time.
Is it possible to flash the HTC Touch Diamond 1.93 ROM on my MDA Compact IV?
Thanks
I have an cooked ROM since over three months and there where
never any problems with it, but the fast emptiness of the batt, but I have an allways full charged replacement batt and two dockingstations with extra batt loader.
But my device is getting hot the last two days... but not the batt, I think its the CPU inside.
I first uninstalled everthing unnecessery, then made a soft reset and now a hard reset, without installing anything new, but again its getting hot.
What could be the Problem?
Attached the screenshots of the device and ROM Informations.
The Rom I use allways worked fine, till before two days it began to heat the device.
I like my Touch Diamond, I got used to it, it would be a pity buying a nother one, also because I dont have the money for.
Please if you have any suggesttions, help me.
Yours cincerly,
Robert
Try changing your radio.
Good Luck!
Could it be your GPS and/or WiFi is on, and the Diamond is constantly looking for a signal/connection?
Radio / Wifi / BT
Hi,

Could you please post me how to change radio and to which one,
or a link to a thread ehre this is explaned?
Thank you,

Radio
Hi,
thnaks for the link!
I installed the new radio with the "geting hot" fix...
Now looking what hapens.
I turned on to charge over USB when connected,
but it seems to discharge in case of beeing connectedto USB..
Funny what???
What could this be?
Yours
Robert
Does not solve the heat problem
I did install the new radio as suggessted,
made a hard reset also,
but device is also getting hot.
Any iDeas what else i could be?
Yours Robert
Which is the part that's heating too much ( Eg. Lower back !! )
Which oart heats...
Backwards down under the battery, where the IM Card is insertet.
Seems to be a defect. On charging the dvice discharges... It seems to to like this.
Yours,
Robert
Addition:
If no SIM is insertet and no USB Cable is connected it doens not heat
Strange:
Usually heating is because of the following reasons -
1. Your GPS/Wifi is on
2. You're running Android
3. You're running too many applications
Check all this first.
If negative then it will be something with the radio.
Keep trying different radios ( although be careful not to flash a 2G radio onto a 3G one )
If this too fails , its something with the chip.
FYI , heating is kinda normal for all the diamonds , mine does heat sometimes but i dont take it as a big issue.
Try different radios . if that doesnt work then its a chip problem. My diamond too heats like crazy but im used to it now.

Not runnig android nor Wifi nor Bluetooth
Removed SimCard to use in a nother Handy to be able to talk to people without shutting down the Smartphone.
The other user which I phone to cannot understand me anymore, seems like the mic is going dead.
Applications is only the HTC Sense running, nothing else....
3G works, I set it to only go to 3G when requested by for eyample a browser.
But also without sim and without USB connection it heats....
The ROM is the original one from XDA....
I tried to download the Orange ROM from HTC Homepage but it does not accept my serialnumber of the Touch Diamond, I tried a million times.
Its courious....
I will sell it and get a Toshiba T01 with 1GHz and WM6.5 I am used to,
Do you have any better suggesstions for an smartphone with 3G (HSDPA), WLAN, Bluetooth, 640x800 resolution and WM 6.x?? I need it to connect to internet with the Intenet connection shing wizard on the HTC Diamond...
Bought my mummy a netbook with integrated SIM-Card Adapter and my old Internet SIM (512 MB free thzen slows down speed). I have now Orange wikth 1 GB free and paying for more, but I dont need it so very much that I come over 300 MB monthly....
Youts,
Robert
I will try some other radios.
What have I to do after a new Radio flash, a complete hardreset?
Whiuch german WM6.5 with HTC Sense can you recommend me, without very much programs. I need Google Maps, opera, ICS and long battery life, thats all..
Yours and thank you,
Robert

Yeap... juz flashed to it, and no prob now... however, may i know how long ur battery wud last?? Mine only around one day... Cud i noe where to get the rilphone.dll for 4.49.25.91??
My normal day to day will be utilizing these items (Data Connection always on, Bluetooth always on, SMS, Calls, Facebook n Tweeter, GPS, Camera), By the end of the day around 6pm I should have around 45 - 50 % left of batt life. If standby with minimal SMS and calls should last around 2 and a half days.
4.49.25.91 is suitable for Rhodium as far as i know.. mine, battery can hold up to 1 and a half day.. it is because i've using my rhodium sooooo frequent. =)
im back

The radio questions really belong in the sticky radio thread. And now we seem to have gone off-topic from that even
