I've been having problems with my T-Mo MDA (HTC Wizard) and picked up an AT&T Tilt to replace it. I've SIM and CID unlocked it, but I'm getting terrible signal strength on it. It's rare for me to have more than 2 bars in places where I'd have 4 bars with the MDA. So I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue or if I just haven't hit on the right radio version yet (I've tried 5 of them so far). Anyone have any ideas? I like the phone, but if I can't get a decent signal on it then it's not worth keeping.
I've used T-Mo phones on AT&T before (in fact the G1 gets some of the best AT&T reception I've ever seen) and vice versa, so it's probably a matter of hitting on the right radio. The Tilt radios are optimized for AT&T natrually, so be sure to try an assortment of radios. It is definitely a pain, in fact I have not hit on the perfect one for me yet (and I'm using a Tilt on AT&T lol) but you should definitely be getting better performance than you are, so keep trying
GENERALLY...let me say this again so i dont get flamed....GENERALLY.... The best radios currently out for Kaisers are
1.71.09.01 (been reported by some to shorten battery life however ALMOST ALL have reported a MUCH better signal and quicker GPS fix)
1.70.19.09 (Seemingly the most stable, with pretty good battery life, you will usualy get a solid signal and get most of your calls.)
I am on T-Mobile and have tried both radios on WM 6.1 and WM 6.5.x, I switch between the two depending on my needs but mostly stick with 1.70.19.09 and get pretty solid usage. However if your almost always near a charger, or never away from one for more than a few hours, give 1.71.09.01 a try and test its battery life on yours.
You can find both here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2210513&postcount=3
they are the two at the bottom of that post.
just finished a "desk test" of every radio I could find. Sitting here at my desk I have 4 bars on the Wizard regardless of where I placed it. I flashed the Tilt with every radio ROM I could find and tested in two locations on the desk: most had 2 bars in both locations, a few of the radios had 3 bars at one location and 2 bars at the other. With most of the radios I also made a test call to our local time and temp to guage call quality.
I'm going to try the 1.71.09.01 radio this weekend and see if it gives me any trouble in places like Lowes. I was really hoping to find a radio that would give me signal strength close to what i had with the Wizard

I can gaurentee the 1.71 will give you some really great reception just be prepared for the battery drainage.
My personal recomendation is the newest 1.65 ROM that's one of the AT&T official ones, I get decent bars and rock solid calls with that on AT&T.
I'm going to be putting it up for sale on CraigsList or eBay this weekend. Signal strength just isn't cutting it. Spotty reception along a major highway (4 bars to 2 in less than 1/2 a mile and dropped the call while I was talking to my girl ), no signal in the restaurant I had lunch at today, no signal at Lowes, no signal at Sams Club, and weak/no signal at my local grocery store. The restaurant was new to me, but in the other places I normally have 3 or 4 bars when using the Wizard.

Really? Even with the 1.71? That is surprising. What OS rom are you using? I have actually had OS Roms that seemed to effect my signal, also have you made sure 3G in your data is off? Since our phones arent compatible with T-Mos 3G this could be effecting your signal (it will still attempt to search for a 3G signal) try turning your data off if your not using it, there are alot of things. Last but not least I just now noticed you said you JUST bought it.....are you sure its a Tilt and not a Tilt II? If its a tilt II that would be a great reason why its not working.

Yup...really!
I'm using JJ Blaster's WM6.5.3 build 23518 ROM right now.
3G and bluetooth and wi-fi and everything else are all turned off as I don't use them and wanted to limit battery drain.
Haha, thanks for the laugh. Yes, I'm sure it is a Tilt, even says 8925 under the battery. Never hurts to check the basics though
LOL you would be surprised sometimes, some people look at their phones and then look at the pictures of the phones in the forums and choose one that looks similiar...er you get the idea. Anyway I just called my buddy in your area who has a kaiser on t-mo and he told me he is using the 1.71 radio and gets great signal no matter where he goes, he is using it with the TPC 23071 Stock-Like Rom NORMAL VERSION He did say he is sticking with those roms as he has had probs with the other ones. Give it a shot, TPC makes some pretty good roms. Let me know what ur results are.
just flashed that rom....flashed the stock HTC WWE ROM first...and signal is about the same as with the other ROM's in my 'desk test'. It did seem to hold on to three bars a little longer than the others, but it did drop down to two.
Just before flashing the Tilt I had the Wizard up and going again (resynching txt messages and the like) and had a solid four bars with it.
I'll take the Tilt in to work tomorrow with my Wizard in tow....if it's still bad there I'll switch back over and move on. I'm running out of ideas. I updated the HardSPL to jockyw2001's 3.56 version today as well, that's the SPL version the chef of my previous ROM is using, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
OK....work results are just depressing. With the Tilt, sitting at my desk, I have no service. if I position it just right, I can get 1 bar...just enough to send/receive txt messages. I switch over to the Wizard and I have a solid 4 bars.
I don't know why I'm getting such poor signal with the Tilt when I'm getting excellent signal on the Wizard. I'm open to trying other things, but I'm thinking it's a lost cause.
Current setup on the Tilt is:
HardSPL: jockyw2001's 3.56 HardSPL
ROM: TPC 23071 Stock-Like Rom NORMAL VERSION
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Carrier: T-Mobile
Location: St. Louis metro area
Well I am at a loss, but I want you to look at one more thing, in your data connection settings if t-mobile is using epc.tmobile.com to internet2.voicestream.com do a soft reset, see if any diffrent, if that doesnt help, then I am sorry, you very well might have a hardware issue, as my buddy is in STL Metro area throughout most of the day and he says it works great.
it was set to wap.voicestream.com, I changed it as you directed, and the results of the desk test are the same. No obvious change. My girlfriend is on AT&T, I might borrow her SIM and throw it in to see if that gets 4 bars or not during the desk test. When I bought it, the guy had his AT&T SIM in it to show that it worked and it had 4 bars then....and I think it briefly had 4 bars on T-Mo when I was driving down the highway...so the phone is technically capable of it.
thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it. pass along my thanks to your buddy too.
I do not have an issues with t-mobile on my ATT Tilt
I have the following radio/hardspl:
Radio: 1.71.09.01
HardSPL: 3.56
I also am testing out AndriodonHTC.com and it works very well with these.

I've upgraded from an xda orbit to an xda stellar (kaiser/tytn ii)
The GPS in the stellar seems to be abysmal - sent tomtom 6 bananas in London recently, maps just spinning round. The stellar shows a typical signal strenth of 1-2 bars (normally 1) compared to the orbit which shows 4-5 bars, and it takes forever to pick up a signal, even using QuickGPS. I've tried testing the two side by side and the orbit shows 5 bars, kaiser 1 bar.
Would appreciate any advice - at the moment I have to use the orbit for satnav, GPS is completely unreliable on the kaiser.
thanks a lot
try a different radio version.
in the ROM thread there is a link to some niki radios that work really well....
update the radio
this thing happened to me once, but after i updated the radio. the fix is fast and signal is good!
Thanks for the forumer that help me....
many thanks for the advice ...
So just to confirm .. I need to upgrade to the latest ROM & then upgrade the radio?
Is this fairly straight forward? Can't see any instructions so i assume so.
Hi, my phone have like 4 month, and since 1 month or so, it is starting to loose the signal, every now and then I check the phone and it is with out signal (like putting it on AIRPLANE MODE) and it just only come back, if I switch to Airplane mode and back to normal mode, or if I restart it.
Any IDEAS??!?!

Please provide us with your rom, radio, and what country you use your device.
To find your rom and radio:
Start>settings>system>device information>version
That happened to me until i switched to duttys rom and inex radio. now that problem is solved for me.
SOMEONE SET UP US TEH ROM!!!
WE NO GET SIGNAL!
If you could tell us if you ahve flashed to a customer ROM or if you have a Stock ROM, the one that came with the phone. Same with the Radio. We could help you better. Thank You.

ok its a AT&T TILT
ROM Version: 1.57.502.2
ROM DATE: 08/25/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.11
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
Same here
I'm now with the updated AT&T ROM, but wit hthe same issues.
This also happened with the previous ROM.
At home I'm connected to my PC via USB. For some reason, in this location I have virtually no reception (ie I have 1 or 0 bars).
And many times, if I don't go in/out of Flight Mode after I leave home, I find myself without reception even for a couple of hours (ie the Tilt doesn't "recover" on its own).
I HardSPL'd my Tilt and tried installing the French radio in order to improve reception (other users in my location said it worked well for them), but found it was incompatible, and after a very stressful day (I was certain I'd bricked my Tilt) - was able to enter bootloader mode and restore the original radio.
At the moment I don't want to flash a Kaiser radio, and I want to wait until AT&T release their own WM6.1 ROM (I don't want to use a cooked one).
Further (I wrote about this in another post) - my GPS loses signal quite often, even under clear skies. I understand that this is another aspect of the radio drivers.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
I'd rather think it's a hardware problem. RMA...
Difficult....
I live abroad, and so it'll cost a small fortune in shipping charges, etc.
Not to mention import taxes, etc, if the IMEI is changed (eg if the device is replaced).
I live in a very poor reception area just outside of Boston. Previous to purchasing my device I would only have service about 40% of the time when I was at home.
When i purchased the Kaiser reception didn't get much better so I decided to search google and it led me to this forum. After reading many threads and asking some questions I feel that that the best radio that I've used so far is NIKI - 1.58.16.27. Now I have reception 95% of the time and GPS picks up about 7-10 satelites from my basement, crazy i know.
I'm not sure how much you been reading OP but I recommend you either learn how to flash roms and radios, or you can bring your phone to AT&T and have them look at it. However that means you have to give up your tilt while its being repaired, which sucks.
is this NIKI radio compatible with the standard AT&T ROM?
I have 1.62.502.0 and radio 1.27.14.09.
Or is it compatible only with WM6.1?
Thank you.

ok, you say it improves with niki radio!?
so I have never done this before, is it hard!? were can I find a GOOD tutorial or guide or troubleshooter in case i get STUCK??
Other thing, here were I live, i think ATT from the quad band, use 850 almost all the time, anything to say about that? it doenst matter?, maybe its a stupid Q...
But the Niki radio requires WM6.1, doesn't it?
redbandana,
Did you install the Niki radio on a WM6 Tilt?
And what ROM do you have? (ie the original AT&T ROM, the updated AT&T ROM or a cooked one?)
Please help me out with this, I'm getting very annoyed, upset and whatever else you can think of. Two days ago, I brought my Tilt into the ATT service center because of a problem, and they replaced it with a brand new Tilt. My older one was running 6.0 but this new one is running 6.1 WinMo, which I fear is the culprit here.
I get full HSPA bars here in NYC (kaiser tweak) under most circumstances, and it stays this way while I'm surfing the net and such but, whenever I make a phone call, it automatically switches to G ! ? There are times when it might go through with EDGE *the call*, but it's seldom. I never had this problem before the phone switch. It also happens without using Kaiser Tweak, with 3G. And while I AM able to use the phone with G, I feel that this might pose a problem at some point, and would like the phone to be able to reach its full potential or.. just be the way it was.
Help is seriously needed !

i think theyre still using EDGE / 2G for voice calls.. not all markets have switched to 3G/HSDPA voice
I too have the same issue. I'm not saying a problem, cause in my opinion it is not. When a call is made it switches back to gprs. It takes about 30 secs after the call to switch it back to hsdpa. It is probably a bug or perhaps a lack of your carrier.
BTW. I'm with T-mobile Holland, perhaps it is network related.
What I'm trying to convey though is that my other phone (which was exchanged because I thought the top of the slider was loose) did not behave like this. It kept its full H bars through every call. And the only difference between the two phones is that the previous one ran WinMo 6.0 and this one runs 6.1
They DO use HSPA here in NYC, you have to turn it on with Kaiser tweak in order to use it, though.
Doug
u nailed it 2 times on the head here..
kaiser tweak..and ur stock winmo 6.1
- kaiser tweak is an essential tool for a kaiser..never leave it behind after a flash and always enable ur HSDPA
- winmo 6.1 is a dirty dirty devil, what i suggest is to reflash and use a good radio..i live in Central New Jersey and im in and out of NY daily ( midtown / diamond district ) and i have yet to experience a dropped call!
im running the below mentioned rom and radio..give it a go..most likely u wont be disappointed!

Well, it's interesting. Paulbates over at hofo suggests (and I agree w/him) that it would have been silly for them to release a ROM which did this, and we'd see tons of threads here and elsewhere about it if it were the case. I only asserted though, that the radio version might not like the area in which I live yada yada..
As soon as the problem started however, I did install Kaiser Tweak, and enabled HSDA. It worked as usual, but the H disappears just as fast as 3G was disappearing, so it makes no difference. I'm also experiencing data connectivity issues on this phone for the first time ever. Last night, even with full E or H bars, as I tried to open Opera or PIE, I'd get an error saying I had no data session open and the web page wasn't available. I tried many different pages of course, so it was the phone.. This never happened with my other phone, and I'm really regretting having taken it back now.
P.S. as far as changing the ROM and radio, I'm very inexperienced (re: have never done it before) and will wait to see if changing the phone makes a difference first. I only wish they had given me an exchange phone with 6.0 on it. Even the guy at the shop said that a lot of people have been complaining about 6.1. Do you live in NYC btw ? If so, perhaps I will take your advice about changing the ROM/Radio myself. Only thing is though, I run Linux. I do also have a Macbook Pro.. Can I do it with either of those OS's ?
Doug
Oh this is so very annoying... I just brought the phone into the store and they replaced it again. The girl I dealt with was very nice, and went through testing it out, and agreed that it was indeed doing something it shouldn't be doing. She even swapped the SIM card, but it was still the same. I then got a new (refurb of course) and it seemed to stay on E in the store, but then I wandered outside into Bryant Park (where I am now) and the same ol' junk occurred.
The last call I made actually stayed on Edge, but that was about 1 of 7 calls. Not only that, but now my voice mail doesn't work either... It asks if I have an account, then prompts me to put in my phone number. When I do, it says it's not a valid account. I'm really regretting switching my phone over, big time.
I'm going to call CS and see what they have to say (yes, we know the network isn't solid right now, but we're "working on it") Yah...
This really puts me off, but if they can't do anything, I'll start messing with the ROMS. It's just that my download speed right now sucks, too. Can someone direct me to a mobile internet speed test, which is good ? I tried toast.net, but it's too slow to load anything on any of the servers. And speedtest.net requires flash, but those probably aren't very good for mobile phones, anyway.
Doug
Please help. I have been with o2 now for a while and I’ve never had a reception problem this bad… I’ve brought my friends Kaiser. On T-mobile he had great reception around where we live and work but since I have unlocked it I have never had a satisfactory level of reception. I have tried lots of SPL’s, ROMs and radio ROMs (including the stock o2 one) and they are all as bad as each other, give or take. The number of bars of reception varies across the range but they all have the same massive dead spots with no radio reception at all. I have tried other phones i.e. nokia’s, samsung’s and a Hermes I had none of these dead spots.
Now here is where I may betray my noob status, I was beginning to believe it was something wrong with the o2 settings in general because it is like the phone is only picking up reception from certain cell towers (maybe o2 ones?!?) and ignoring others, is this possible or am I just grabbing at straws? Then I discovered a most promising the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-335074.html which is full of people with 3G faults perhaps my problem is linked to the 3G mast nearby and so in fact my phone only works where there is a poor signal and no 3G which forces it to use GSM. I have tried to prove this but my current ROM Mobile Vista 4.00 SeaDragon 5.2.21109 seems unable to remember the GSM setting, the phone locks up and require a soft reset. I am sure it can’t be a hardware fault as suggested in the above thread because my friend had the phone working flawlessly.
Any suggestions as to what I can do. I’ve been at this problem for over 4 months now and am close to admitting defeat, I believe the problem may be beyond me...
I believe you should be posting at General Kaiser Forum instead
My strongest suggestion is go back to factory (OEM) including the SPL and ROM, so you can be sure it's not ROM/Radio. If that's ok, then you need to carefully match the Radio/SPL/ROM. Some radio is only for WM6.0 (check the Radio FAQ, included on the sticky FAQ thread).
Ok I have made a bit of progress but would like some advice. Now that I am aware of the 3G fault I have been keeping an eye on my signal and each time just before the signal dies the phone is trying to switch from gsm/edge to 3G/HSPDA. I have flashed my rom again this time with a reconstructed T-mobile UK rom that I found through the revert to original rom and SPl for waranty returns (Thanks a lot jcespi2005). I now have a 3G/H signal (phew atleast my phones not bricked) but am unable to make or receive calls, I assume this is because it is set up to use T-mobile settings not O2. Is there a cab out there that would let me change the settings for the OEM operator rom so I can keep this working rom. Failing that does anyone have any suggestions for a cooked rom for O2?
I have an AT&T Tilt, and I ran the unlocker on it.
Recently I installed the TPC V11 Chumpstyle rom which is a 6.5 rom. Things seemed fine on it for the first couple days but then I noticed it was constantly disconnecting without notice from the service. Texts would randomly stop going through, and when I would go to make a call, it would end the call after about 10 seconds of unsuccessful dialing. Same with the data.. no browser would work.
I decided to try out different radios and different SPLs, even mirroring peoples setups which I assume were working since they have them in their sig lines.
These are the combinations I have tried:
HardSPL 3.29
USED:
1.70.19.09 - Intermittent. Only gets off 4-5 text messages before disconnect.
1.65.21.18 - No 3G connection
1.71.09.01 - No Service
1.70.18.02 - Intermittent disconnect
1.65.17.54 - Long connection time after startup - refuses to connect
HardSPL 3.56
USED:
1.64.08.21 - 4 minute connection time on startup, camera doesn't work
1.71.09.01 - No Service
1.70.19.09 - Intermittent disconnect
1.70.18.02 - No Service
HardSPL 3.34 Dave
USED:
1.70.18.02 - No Service
1.70.19.09 - Intermittent
What surprises and annoys me most is right now I have the stock rom/radio
Rom: 3.57.502.2
Radio: 1.65.21.18
and it does the same exact thing. It is very intermittent, works for 5 minutes after startup, and then nothing.
Nothing on the forum I have been able to search has helped me with this issue, and any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
one more thing comes to mind that might be worth a shot...
try to disable the 3G/HSDPA mode altogether and configure the device for plain GSM mode only. see how that fairs with the stock configuration or any of the "recommended" combinations of SPL and radio.
ASC - thanks for the reply. I am not certain how to disable 3g/hsdpa modes. I'll look around to figure it out and then post my results here.
Thanks again
It seems that the edge still connects, but I am having the same issues. Just randomly stops all connection
This is the same issues mine developed within the last month. No luck yet tho.

Just lovely. I really would like a way to fix it. I don't plan on paying 125.00 for the insurance costs to get a new one, and really don't want to spend 300.00 on a TP2.
Thanks for your post, keep me updated if possible!
After looking at some of the newer thread posts, I think I may have a hardware issue here. Anyone able to tell offhand whether it isn't or if it could be, and/or if it is possible to fix?
I swapped out my motherboard with a friends who had given me thiers last year due to a broke screen. I did a Sprite back up and everything has been good for 24 hours.
Hey I think I have a similiar problem
2 weeks ago I was home and just lost service while the rest of my family and i usually had serivice. I would get service occasionally but only for 30 seconds or so and maybe like once every 15 minutes.
So I went back to school and for 2 straight weeks I had absolutely no problems.. and now I'm home again and I have the same problem..
Also last night I started using an old RAZR and it worked fine untill this afternoon seems to be acting the same, but when I went to ATT last time I was given a new SIM card...
Really weird.
I went through the SIM card swap as well. From what rob said it sounds like a hardware issue. Bad batch of AT&T Tilts all going bad around the same time?
I used advanced config to shut off data connections and then set my band to GSM and mine works fine now..
I just did the same using Advanced Config. I'll see what happens. I have no "Band" setting tab.
Did that help mini... after i did that mine "kinda" worked but then when i switched the band it worked perfect. I think you might have do so something in advanced to get the band tab to appear in "Connections." Ill try to figure out what I did
Try to see if you have the "Band" tab under "Phone", sorry it's not under connections, its right after network. I I switched network type from auto to GSM. If the page isnt there in advanced config under phones there is an option to "Show Band Page"
Also same intermittant issue w HSDPA
All,
My rom (Athene) has a setting under connections to disable HSDPA. I've found the phone works pretty well with HSDPA disconnected. I've also tried different radios and still having the same problem.
My assumption is that the TILT (8925) was never really designed for HSDPA or that the spec has changed since AT*T has started implementing it.
When I have HSDPA turned on, it works for about 2-5 mins then I cannot use Medianet or make/receive calls.
However, I know that HSDPA is working sometimes, because I did a speed test and found that I got approx 450kbps w/ HSDPA turned on. With EDGE, I only get 140-150kbps.
I say we all petition AT&T (or whoever your provider is) as well as HTC and require that they provide us with new versions of the TILT that actually support HSDPA properly. Obviously, if that many of us have the same problem and we all have different rom's and radios, it's got to be a network or hardware issue.
I plan to call / write ATT & HTC today. I'll let you know my findings.

It's definitely got to be HTC/AT&T's fault. This is no coincidence. This is bs.
Well, I just got off the phone with Asurion and I have some good news.
As the Kaiser is no longer manufactured, and the HTC Fuze replacement they offered me does not fit my needs, they are replacing my Kaiser with a brand new Rhodium with a 12 month warranty. Farewell, Kaiser forum!
