For those on Rogers, what do you find is the best radio to use with your Kaiser?
Try the one in my sig.. unless you're using that one.
I'm gunna try a bunch of other ones over the next few weeks, but i'll keep you posted.
FYI I'm with Fido but that shouldn't matter cuz Fido/Rogers uses the same cell towers.
I'll give it a shot. I'm currently using radio 1.58.16.27. I had read good things about it and it came pre-loaded on Dutty's latest ROM. I haven't tried any others yet. When I'm on the phone with this radio, it was crackling a bit but I'm unsure as to whether or not it was my phone or the phone with the person I was talking to. Only made one call as I just got my Kaiser the other day and have been playing around with the other great features of it.
Keep me posted on your findings. Thanks!
whatsup guys,
I've had my phone for a couple months now. 1.58.16.27 is, in my opinion, the best radio for me, in Ottawa. 1.64....21 works really well also.
btw, chek my sig for all radio downloads. I think I have uploaded most of them, if not all.
What's the RADIO thing?
How do you know if it's best or not?
I'm with Fido, and using Dutty April 9 Rom, do you guys have anything to suggest me?

If you check the ROM section in here you should be able to find your answer as to what exactly a RADIO rom is.
Now as for finding the best, each radio will have different effects for most people because of their locations plus carriers. So it's really hard to for someone else to tell you it's the "best" radio, that's something you have to find out yourself.. or have someone who uses the same carrier as you and that lives in the same general area as you.

I did do the search, but nothing was found. Maybe the definition of Radio is too simple to put it into words. I mean, as I understand it's simply a rom that connect to the frequency of the provider's tower...
The only reason I'm looking for it, is because I'm getting sick of having the Roaming logo on my phone. Because i'm with Fido and my phone is connect to Rogers tower.
You are using: 1.27.12.11... I'm using Dutty rom, and RAdio 1.58.16.27 now thou... should I go for yours instead?

Is that mean you have the roaming logo as well?
You'll get the roaming logo more often if your in the suburbs. Rogers is more predominant in the suburbs. Fido is more often found in Downtown Toronto or GTA.
Im using the radio on my sig for almost 3 weeks and reception and GPS is great. Battery life sucks though.
Im gonna back to the SEDNA radio 1.58.13.28 since i had a better battery life than this one.
i do have the logo but it doesnt show up cuz i'm using a vista theme with wisbar advance...i do this because it looks better...but having that triangle doesnt even bother me...not that big of a deal..cuz its not like i'm getting charged for roaming anyways...its because u have a fido sim card but using rogers towers..
Hello,
My name is Brian, I'm a member here obviously.... Had the username BFielding a while back, registered in 2007 if I remember correctly, but can't access or retrieve password for that account, different email now, so now I'm BFielding80...
Heres my problem... I can't get SH!T for help on this site, maybe because it's so overloaded, or maybe some a$$hole said dont help this person.... IDK
All I know is I ask a question and they RARELY get answered.... I'm at the point I'LL ****1N PAY U TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, I'VE BEEN ASKING THE SAME [email protected] QUESTION LONG ENOUGH...
I need radio help. I'm rooted, I run all the ROMs, always Froyo based.... I've never updated my radio from what it came with.... I have radio 32.26.00.24H_4.04.00.03_2
I haven't updated because I don't want to kill my AT&T 3g.... I've read that the TMo Froyo radio will kill my AT&T 3G so thats why I left my radio alone.... But now I'm reading that the newer radios are compatible either way, so I want to upgrade it.
I know I can go back if it does kill my 850/1900, but I would rather someone to just please just recommend me a radio as well as link, I'll adb it myself...
I need a radio for best 3G and battery life would be a plus, but 3G is more important, in my area I drop to edge frequently...
THE PERSON WHO HELPS ME WILL RECEIVE $10 US DOLLARS VIA PAYPAL
Thanks,
Brian
Well, I don't want your money but you should be fine flashing this new radio (32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04). Some people say they get improved battery life and some don't. Most seem to get better reception.

There is where you will get the newest radio image, it is identical to the one found in the Desire 2.2 update. You do not have to update HBOOT if you do not want to, though I could be wrong on that one, though I didn't have to when I did.
If you do not want this version of the radio as some people have trouble with it you can flash the radio that was uploaded by enomther:

Heh, no that is all right. By the way, I kept editing my post a fair bit, sorry.
So there are two 2.2 radios you could flash. The newer one does give you better reception though, I use the 4.06 one though, if you were curious.

I have a tmo n1 and I noticed better reception with the korean radio but I've noticed some roms don't give me better reception but sometimes WORSE. I'm on rodriguez r21 limemod using the 5.06 radio. Works well. Just one off those trial and error things. If you re on edge instead of 3g try the *#*#4636#*#* trick just remember if u you use wcdma only and lose 3g u lose all service and have to change back to wcdma preferred. Good luck...

The ROM shouldn't affect your reception to my knowledge. You may have different APNs set and that could cause issues but even that is a stretch.
What 5.06 radio? 4.06 or 5.08?
Just put both radios on my SD, I'll update through RA recovery, but yall think adb is better?

They both should have the same end result. I usually flash through recovery but to each his own. See which one you like better make sure you checked the MD5sum and make sure they match up.

you should not see any major difference between the two radios when it comes to battery life. i've been using 5.08 since it came out, i have a much more stable signal and battery life is the same for me.
you can also downgrade ur radio whenever you want... just flash the old radio through recovery... you'll be ok
Fastboot is, IMO, the most reliable way to flash a radio. I would rather not leave a brickable upgrade/downgrade up to a script, but that's just my paranoia kicking in. lol.

This topic is for development of the Wifi apk for the vibrant. Please DO NOT discuss what wifi means to you or how excited you are about it. I am posting this in hopes that a developer can make this work.
Only comment here if you can contribute and make this work. (what i have provided is the extent of my knowledge)
The apk installs, loads, but will not connect. It gets stuck on 'enabling' and shreads the battery trying.
Perhaps the servers are just not up yet since this is so new..
UPDATE: According to TMo News, T-mobile has stated that they do not support wifi calling yet... so hopefully this app not working is just a result of no server support yet..

Took a look at it and so far its either missing a VPN module or its pointing at settings that we dont have. Right now its looping trying to connect to localhost.
This does ADB install fine, but it doesnt connect if you disable it and try to re-enable it.
Side effect, it was constantly looping trying to connect the service and wasnt very happy about uninstalling when I tried, wouldnt recommend anyone install it unless they have the settings or an idea where we can grab them from
Soon as I get the OTA ill scour for the settings. Soon as I have any updates to it ill tweet/post
Thanks Viral, scepterr says it needs a kernel module and we need source code for that
Why ADB...just hit install...running it on Froyo, I cant tell if its working or not because Tmobile DID fix my signal at my house LOL

The app he is using is called SystemPanel. It's very useful.
I suggest removing this app in the mean time. Its a CPU hog and 50% of my battery use.

According to TMO News, the wifi calling is not supported yet as stated by T-Mobile.
“Wi-Fi Calling and tethering Wi-Fi sharing are not currently supported on the T-Mobile G2. T-Mobile knows these features are important to consumers and we’re working to deliver them to G2 users in the future. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”
http://tinyurl.com/3yltw9a
This was one of my theories... that would be an easy and good answer for why it will not connect yet...
Looks like theres no luck on the g2 end either, its still missing some configuration or something.

Adding to think tank section of the bible for easy retrieval just in case the thread slows.
Something tells me TMo is going to wait, either for the release of the MyTouch HD or they'll release it on a bunch of phones all at once as a way to boost sales before Christmas.
Looks like G2 will have this app soon enough. I can't wait to have it on the vibrant.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/t-mobile-g2-to-get-wi-fi-calling-update-starting-tomorrow/
The reason why this app isn't working is because you need a Wifi calling plan which tmobile is rolling out soon and it requires a data plan of 19.99 or higher which pretty much everyone has because the 200 mb plan has not rolled out yet.
Has anyone gotten the wifi calling G2 OTA update yet? Can you let us know if the wifi calling now works on the G2? Thanks.
Yes and it works awesome!

Thanks. So it looks like both now the G2 and myTouch 4G are up and running with wifi calling. They both have in common that they are running 2.2. So am I to assume that the apk app on both of them is the same and that it will also run on the Vibrant once it gets the 2.2 update?

Well I just flashed over to CM 6.2 Extreamly Blue and I noticed a few things....
My reception seems to constantly go from Full, to none, then Back to full, all the while switching between 3g and 1x. But only in my house. My mom has a non rooted htc hero with the same PRL and her service follows the same pattern but it doesnt drain her battery like it does mine.
Any suggestions of what to do?
mine does that sometimes to on stable 6.1 but it don't affect my battery

Try going to the latest rooted 2.1 sense rom and updating your prl and profile a few times. Also you can try flashing a diff radio I use a Verizon radio because it gives me better service where I live. And lastly, the service bars on aosp/cm6 roms NEVER show correct signal anyways.

How do I flash a different radio? I know for a FACT that Verizon provides better service where I live. Also, once I do this, is it reversible once I do this?
Second..... Can I flash from 6.2 down to 6.1 WITHOUT wiping? Or would it best to go to my backed up 2.1 update my prl then do a fresh flash to 6.1.

For a fact verizon has better signal in my area as well. Lets start by saying people flash radios because they can provide different signal and or battery boost. You have to try diff radios to see how results go I have about 5 radios on my sdcard and i gave them about a day of use to test each. One way to check is to go to cm settings and select user interface, then status bar and from there check show dbm(signal strength) and hide the signal bars. Coverage is so bad in my home but the desire radio jumps my home signal from -110dbm to about -76dbm which is really good compared to 110. Anything over -90dbm isnt really good coverage. You can flash these radios from any rom just need to be rooted. BE really careful though i have a cdma hero which means cmda radios only. If you flash a radio from a gsm phone/hero you WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. You can do this from a sense rom if you want but im just on cm6.1 stable. And to answer your last question, it is very reversible; you can flash radio after radio like I have done but once again just be careful not to flash any gsm radios. Hope this helps man.
Heres the radio i use, i recommend for best results give each radio about a day
http://geekfor.me/hero/radios/baseband-232401109/
This is how to flash a radio
http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/
That site has a handful of cdma radios that would work on your cdma hero just browse around. Theres also a new radio thats hanging around one of these threads (.29 radio) but it doesnt help much cause coverage sucks like the (.27) stock radio. To check which radio you are on just go to settings then about phone, then it says it under BASEBAND version.
The list of known radios/basebands:
1.04.01.09.21 (old 1.5)
2.32.40.11.09 (eris/desire)
2.41.04.02.02
2.42.00.03.10
2.42.01.04.27 (2.1 ruu radio)

Nah your cool man, umm typically flashing a radio plays along with your PRL, some people say certain radios dont play nice with their PRL, but it has never happen to me(if it does just go to a 2.1 sense rom and try to update it with your profile and should be fine). Your PRL will remain the same; though ive been on many PRL'S and diff radios and never had any issues what so ever. As long as you are up to date with the latest PRL then your phone wont go crazy and be stuck in roaming mode lol. Some people create their own PRL's and put them in and etc. But your PRL isnt changed, just radio man if thats what your asking im kind of half asleep.

Dude try it man I love the Verizon radio its freaking sick...for me at least. My coverage was so bad they gave me a free sprint airrave(mini cell tower box). But I get a 40% signal increase with the radio I posted for the other dude.
Bad coverage/signal = bad battery life

The best way and easiest is to just use rom manager download the radio then go to rom manager and install zip from SD card find the radio click on it do not wipe or anything then rom manager will boot into recovery and install then it'll turn of and on and you'll see the android Guy with a black screen then it'll reboot again and you'll see a a box with an arrow then your phone will reboot again normally and it should be installed but make sure your using clockworkmod with rom manager

Hmmm. I rather just download the radio boot into recovery and flash it myself. Seems simple enough.

For a fact verizon has better signal in my area as well. Lets start by saying people flash radios because they can provide different signal and or battery boost. You have to try diff radios to see how results go I have about 5 radios on my sdcard and i gave them about a day of use to test each. One way to check is to go to cm settings and select user interface, then status bar and from there check show dbm(signal strength) and hide the signal bars. Coverage is so bad in my home but the desire radio jumps my home signal from -110dbm to about -76dbm which is really good compared to 110. Anything over -90dbm isnt really good coverage. You can flash these radios from any rom just need to be rooted. BE really careful though i have a cdma hero which means cmda radios only. If you flash a radio from a gsm phone/hero you WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. You can do this from a sense rom if you want but im just on cm6.1 stable. And to answer your last question, it is very reversible; you can flash radio after radio like I have done but once again just be careful not to flash any gsm radios. Hope this helps man.
Heres the radio i use, i recommend for best results give each radio about a day

This is how to flash a radio
http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/
That site has a handful of cdma radios that would work on your cdma hero just browse around. Theres also a new radio thats hanging around one of these threads (.29 radio) but it doesnt help much cause coverage sucks like the (.27) stock radio. To check which radio you are on just go to settings then about phone, then it says it under BASEBAND version.
The list of known radios/basebands:
1.04.01.09.21 (old 1.5)
2.32.40.11.09 (eris/desire)
2.41.04.02.02
2.42.00.03.10
2.42.01.04.27 (2.1 ruu radio)
2.42.02.10.29 (newest sprint radio)

Just curious.... All of the radios on this site say for 2.1, even though im on CM6 2.2.1, Will i be ok if I flash the radio you provided?
Refer to my post above and yes radios work on all roms they go deeper than the rom itself so even nanding will not change it
Also, can I flash it just like a rom with Rom manager?

I am trying to see if maybe its my phone radio or wifi antenna is not working correctly. I flashed the latest radio and doesn't seem to be helping either. on 4glte I am getting 1.44mbs for download.and on my wifi I am getting 3.61mbs for download. I have nothing else connected to my wifi. Wondering if maybe I should Ruu my phone and take it into best buy and have them look at it or give me a new one.

Do u have another device that is able to test the 4G or WiFi? Did u update profile and prl?

Yeah I was about to ask the same thing.
Also, have you just done a straight stock flash, then update PRL? None of that should effect your WiFi though, I would test with another device..
Yes I have tested a computer, iPhone, and ipad and all get iver 20mbs+ on same wifi. Thats why I am wondering if it's my phone.

It quite possibly is, that is very odd.
Have you gone 100% stock, then tried it? (you have modded the phone somewhat if you are flashing a radio)
Haven't done a ruu yet.

I would RUU 100% latest stock.
Then do a speed test with WiFi. If you get the same speed, return the device for a new one.
Alright sounds good. Cause I have trued a couple of different roms and get about the same speed. Cause someone told me it might have been a rom and since it's not I figured I would asks others.

At this point it could be ROM, Radio, or Hardware.
Best way to make sure is Stock RUU.

Try setting the WiFi frequency to 2.4 or 5 instead of auto

Agreed. This way, you get a baseline reading with the phone, with it operating "as it should" with the stock ROM and settings. If it doesn't work stock, then you are going to have a hell of a time trying to get it to work any other way, if at all.
Alright I ruu back. The one wifi speed is the same. and on my other router it is faster.
