Are we all Mad?

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

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)

How many of you have "cheated" (lol) L26

I dont know about you guys, and im not planning of arguing who is the best cook in here, but for me L26 roms are the greatest roms! i used to check the forum on a daily basis just to update my ROM to the latest L26 one, but u all know he has been busy while developing his new ROM, so how many of u have been able to calm your flashing addiction in all this time??
As for myself...i lasted till like mid January...the withdrawal was killing me lol...how bout you??

ohh 72 views and just one vote besides mine? come on, speak up!!

i too have faltered, despite my signature I miss L26 roms

I've never even used an L26 ROM. I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one and give it a try.

I'm pretty sure Leo WAS cooking for the blackstone, and quit cooking for the Kaiser months ago. Is there any reason you've been holding out on flashing other roms?

Well maybe u r right, but according to October 26 L26 ROM thread he personally said that he was working on a final ROM, maybe the last one, but still...ill keep hoping!...im using AthineOS meanwhile

I was a hyperdragon guy myself until i bought my fuze, but sadly SJ does not cook for the Raphael. As for Leo I know he was cooking for the Touch HD for awhile.

I was using his M2D version until he stopped making newer ones Right now im using PdaCorner V17 ( WM 6.5 ) and am loving it. Ive been swapping things from HDIII to Athine to you name it Hard to break the addiction

I've always been a dragon.

NATF all the way! too bad he upgraded to Fuze, i guess ill have to do that too

If the Fuze had a tilting screen, I would have bought one a long time ago. I'm with you though, NATF had the best ROMs.

Yeah, when I checked the blackstone forums, L26 was over there (someone had already mentioned).
I've stuck with his ROMs though because...I dunno...I just think that even if they haven't been updated in a while, they are the best for what I want. I'm very picky and I do judge books by their covers...Most of the other cooks don't have the style I like...or they don't put the programs I want/put too many programs I don't want. L26's roms are tasteful, stylish, and functional.

I've actually never tried L26's ROMs i remeber I was going to but then when It said it had to be security unlocked I had no idea what that was because I was a uber-noob

what is your favorite Radio??

wich Radio do you suggest me to use ???!!
untill now im using 1.10.25.18 and many people think it has more battery power
please someone can tell me wich one to use? bec there are new ones and i dont realy know if they are better as they are new?
TY very much!!

You have to try them and see how they work for you. How "good" or "bad" a radio is depends on your location, provider, GPS app you use, the color of your shirt, etc.
For me, 1.17 works really well.

I second Harvey... Radio is fully based on your service provider... Try and use it for minimum 3 days...(to check battery drains, signal strength, call drops etc) and then decide to stick on one.
For me 1.17 works well (excellent)
PS: i forgot.... color of shirt is very important for ur Radio ROM... haha kidding...

well, flashed to 1.16 a few month ago - my previous version (ex factory, I recall) was 1.03
big improvement! 2 more bars, big improvement in the car as well

well, personally for me it goes like that..
1.10.25.18 has the best gps fix time for me
1.14 is the most stable
1.16 has not impressed me at all
Anyway, it seems to me radio version is not THAT important. You know, r2a roms are rock stable and have long battery time while r3a drain battery and freeze phones for many people

It is Pelephone Israel>> i use igo 8 2010 MAPs
when i bought my xperia the signal was very low and after i changed to ....18 i got more battery and signal but i saw new Radios in the forum so do u suggest me to try all the Radios and find the best (well itll be hard cuz they are almost the same)
thnx every1 for the info:"that it is depend on my location" i didn know that !!! thnxxx

I think that the FM radio is the best!
Mods, please close this thread.
Thank you very much!

Some answers given, but basically you have to try them and then decide what meets your needs.

Just out of interest; why is this forum full of people who jump into threads by people the slightest mistake and subsequently make their best effort to slag off/humiliate the OP?
If you don't have anything nice to say, it's probably better to say nothing at all... Does it really totally ruin your day to have to look down one thread further to find the next 'real' dev thread? At least smjfosho explained where to post - you were just 'jumping on the bandwagon.'

You can never go wrong with Cyanogen.

To the contrary Nick, I've found 5.0.* to be really slow for me, I was very disappointed. SpeedTeam latest roms are amazingly fast in comparison. About to try Cannons too.

Thanks up there guys!^
Which Rom do you perfer, CaNNoN's lateest or SuperEs latest? Talking in speed, batterylife, and everyday use

v1.0.1 Super E has it all!
Flash it and you will see for yourself.

Super E.
You get stable (cyanogen build) and you get speed (Ben is crafty). It is the only 2.1 I consider FAST AND STABLE.

Yeah guys!^ it is extremely fast! Im absolutely amazed. When will they fix the spare parts glitch though? Its kinda bugging me since i want a black theme. And you think Cyanogen 5.0.8 Stable is going to be as near as fast as SuperE or more to the CaNNoN speed?

Ohh and i put an avatar, why isnt it showing when i post?
EDIT: Got it.

In regards to the Spare Parts Color selector for the status bar use v1.0.1 to fix that issue for now.
Ben Buchacher is set to release another version of Super E soon, could be that he will use Cyanogen v5.0.8 stable

After you answer his question. I personally like Sense 2.1 build 21XXX because it run smooth on the TP2... so you should go for a rom like that... but if u want extra eye candy... etc etc going with sense 2.5

Thanks BeEazy10.

There is no best rom.
Look, this thread is full of roms, isnt it? So what is the purpous of this thread and for that matter, your question?
Especially when a cook comes and says "Try mine it is the best".
I ought to think that there would be no replys at all but here is my typing in it.
Look arround and take a pick, if you dont like picked rom try another...
That is the all wisdom.
And if you like one sooo much give donation, to XDA or the cook.

Help us help you.
What don't you like about the Stock ROM? The more specific you get answering this, the better we could help you. Otherwise look around and just pick one. It's not like you're going to be stuck with it forever. There are so many to choose from that you'll eventually find "The One" for you.
Happy flashing.

i dont like the stock rom at all. its slow! i think u should be able to customize alitlle bit more with the TF3D. as for the settings not being there to change. haveing to rely on registry edit, like the msg notice deal. n the wifi dont reconnect after cuming back from suspend. it suck pretty much..
im lookin for a rom that fully unlocks the setting, and is stable. and looks half way desent. i was liken the core evo. thats about all that i looked at really.
i just aint tryin to mess up my fone. i guess i can just look around. just tryin to get peeps opinions. yeh if i find a rom that i like i prolly will donate.. u aint gettin my money that eazy. i just got here. havent even found a rom

Well my personal favorite are jackos s2 V1.3 smartmove fast and stable, Core Cell evo for the eye candy, deepshining loaded with nice app and program, and my all time favorite Joshkoss STABLE-FAST-PROFESSIONAL

thanks man. im gonna try em

jackos s2 V1.3 is the fastest/ bugfree too me. im using full, but from what i read all versions are good depending on what your looking for. There isnt a new version every two weeks or so like other roms which shows how stable his roms are imo.
fyi:you're going need the keyboard fix cab for the tilt2.

How did you put hardspl on your st7377? I for some reason can't. It just won't work for me :/

Have to say, STABLE, FAST, PROFESSIONAL (Josh's ROM) has been the fastest, most stable ROM I've used so far...
