Been using it on my wizard. good battery, great signal... don't seem to have any missed calls with Octavio's 6.0

It really is a much improved radio! Before, when I was out and about, somewhere between 10 and 20 feet inside the doors of Walmart and Costco, I would lose signal. Now I can go anywhere within those two metal-clad warehouses and never lose signal...even receiving and making calls within!
Needless to say, I'm very pleased.

missed calls have shown up...
Hi,
After installing the radio rom 2.71.11 on my phone (K-Jam with TNT 1921 rom) missed calls have shown up In one day I missed 3 (out of 8) calls. Additionally my phone locked up (just freezed!) while I was trying to make a call.. So, I switched back to 2.69.11
Cheers,
Orhan

I have been using it from the last two days and no missed calls and great signal.

Same here...no missed calls...been using it over a week now.

works great so far, no miss calls.

Been on my phone for weeks and I have better signal, About the same battery life.

Works Great
I had microphone and speaker voice scrambling and noise issues with older Radios apart 2.19 and 2.25 but this is even better
Thanks

testing it now...I'll let ya know...
*edit* I'm not finding any better reception...will continue to test though...

I had this for weeks now and I have no problems at all too.

The signal icon doesn't update
I have the Black Diamond 3.1 rom on my T-mobile MDA, updated from
a 2.25.xx radio verison to 2.71.11 and now my signal icon doesn't update. its stuck on whatever signal i have upon startup. I thought at first i was getting great signal everywhere, then my calls started dropping with 5 bars and i restarted and it showed 1 bar instead.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else using the 2.71.11 radio with the Black Diamond 3.1 rom?

Hi,
That is a nice version.
How can I install this ROM and do I loose all my settings when installing it?
Many Thanks

been using it for a week.... upgraded from 2.69.11.
seems stable and has better strength, but cannot confirm if it has absolute improvement over 2.69.11 until further testing.

Just flash previous version of only Radio ROM. If this does not work for any reason, flash your stock ROM.

where will i get the old radio rom ??

Hi,
Do I have to put ActiveSync in Guest Mode before running the Radio ROM reflash or can I leave the ActiveSync Partnership intact?
Thanks.

Everyone is hoping and praying that there is a new radio that combines the stability and great battery life of radio 2.19 with better reception like 2.61. 2.71.11 might be it, but its soo new its hard to tell right now.

Vikasmestry, but since it doesn't work out for you here's a good alternative:
http://rapidshare.com/files/84722422/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip.html
Its the T-Mobile UK 2.19 Radio I spoke about. This is considered one of the most stable (no missed calls) with great battery life and a good signal. Its being used by all versions of the Wizard and in nearly all countries by someone. So don't let the T-Mobile and UK description bother you.
Download, unzip and run the ROMUpdateUtility.

I've been using this radio for a week now, seems OK. I think the signal strength is a little better then 2.69 and the power consumption is about the same. No missed calls, but the missed call radio tweak is still installed in my wizard.

What radio works for you on the diamond?

I have just finished trying five after it was suggested and it was a terrible experience for me.. how about you? what radio is best.

I've tried ALL radios here around, and for me the best is .07, GSM signal is perfect, GPS fix very quick, battery life almost the same compared to .05, but I don't use 3G so I can't say for that.
bye,
davide

I use the 1.03.25.18
and it's fast like Hell, fast GPS fix (10 sec.), signal the best of all.(for me it is)

in the poll you ask "Which radio do you use", but in the 1rst post you say "what radio is best".

6 months!? You've had the diamond since april? and i thought I was early..

Hi,
Can i just ask, can people please state what country they are in when recommending radio roms as some of the available radios are designed for europe.
My second question is, can i flash a new radio without damaging my current rom configuration? (i.e. if i install a new radio will i need to reinstall all of my apps to my rom?)
thanks for your help

No, you are quite safe to flash a radio rom - it won't harm your installed items.
However, you do need Hard-SPL and that will hard reset your device

thanks for the info, i already have hard spl, i put that on the first time i booted my diamond!

i am uk voda user i use radio .07 and have found it far better than 05. gps fix is quicker but more importantly the wifi connection is more stable for me. i am using swiftbl rom 6.2 hope this helps

Started with .03, tried .07 and .08, currently use .05, but I'll try .07 again as it 'felt' like it had the best combination of reception, GPS lock and battery life for me.

.05 here, only one ive flashed myself (default came with .03) and its so much better that i haven't wanted to change or try any others

I have read the forum.. extensively..
For me .05 was not the best (with Duttys v2 rom) .. so that's the question.. what do you use.. whats best for you and your current setup.

one thing i am confused with is the fact that there are alot more radios than in the pole, see below:
Radio v1.00.25.03
Radio v1.00.25.05 (Quad Band,Save Power and have better Network Connection!) "Highly Recommended"
Radio v1.00.25.06 (Quad Band)
Radio v1.00.25.07 (Provided by duttythroy )
Radio v1.02.25.11 (Provided from Bepe )
Radio v1.03.25.18 (Provided from Bepe )
If your going to pole this thread, include all radios!!
Another thing i would like to bring your attention to, in your pole there is this radio: 1.00.25.08 Where is this available? i cannot find it anywhere!
Also maybe someone can explain this to me, i was under the impression that as new radios were developed/released they would be improvements based on the most current radio.
Using this thought process surely that would mean that Radio v1.03.25.18 would be the most up-to-date radio? (or does it not work like that?)

bennec83 dutty has a 08 radio on his download page..
the reason for not listing those others was because I expected 07 and 05 to be the only real contenders (and the others are ones I have tried)..
This seems to be born out by the current results..
Also I left the 'other' selection for the remainder

I have an company contract with O2, so I get the new Phones 3 to 4 months befor the out for all. ( If I ask nicely )
Ghostrider

I'm on 2nd day of .08 (from dutty) radio and this one perform well such as .07 but I suppose something has improved .07 + .01 = .08
gps fix is really quick (at least from warm start) and the signal strength is really good (in open space always 7/8 sat)
just for note I use tomtom v7 and rom + radio in my signature

Currently using the 05.. But I agree with you Ghostrider. The 1.03.25.18 is fast as a lightning and battery time is jus wonderful, but I experiencing the hang problem, I think it might be connected to the Hard-SPL im using, it's 1.3(x)

.18 gave problems here too... now I'm running .08 (from dutty) and ALL is working very well, for what I've understood .08 ver comes from diamond 3G (us ver)

GSM not working but 3G works

Hey. Today is not my day
My phone wont work with GSM anymore, it works well with 3G but when it tries to connect to a GSM network it just dies :/ i have no clue what it could be. It was working well yesterday, i have tried to do a hard reset but still wont work. any ideas? Thanks.
Sorry for bad english!
by the way, there is a strange sound in the speaker when it tries to connect to a GSM network.
and it doesnt die if i have it on charge.

has you have set the telefonsettings to gsm network or to automatic?
My phone also needs the manual setting to GSM.

On automatic it sets on 3G becurse i got 3G here, and if it losts the 3G connection and tries to connect to GSM it dies. ( thats how i found out about this problem on the way too school this morning. )

in my network i observe problems with connects to GSM: Sometime i lost the GSM connection/signal, where my Wizard has a safty connection.
It can be a standard Problem with the current Radio ROM
I think about change the radio ROM. pse look to Diamond ROM development to find a instruktion. the ".25.05" should be the best Radio Rom with a better energy performence and better Signals. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
BUT i have not change in this time, while i test my Battery performance after a reducing of background software/applications.

die completly = shut down/swith of the Diamond?
This i not have obervate.
If you follow the instructions, the Radio update is out of problems. If you will get the old radio version, so you can get it back with the original provider update of ROM.
for german Vodafone there is a download by vodafone.de under "technischer Support". i think the most providers has a update download. Look to your provider, if there be a ROM update.

before you look for a new Radio, make a reset or a hard reset. My be, that it "repair" your problem.
By my WIZARD i has update the Radio.
I think, that the radio ROMs for the Diamond are also standards (how by the WIZARD) without differences.

OK, i hope you get a better Signal after changing the Radio version.

uk radio

ok, so this may be a lame question and probably depends on a lot of variables but can anyone suggest a good radio for use in the uk??
is there such a thing, i've tried lots and so far seem to like a few but i still can't get the bl**dy GPS to work properly
i get a loke in about 10 mins if lucky.
i've used poldo's rom and ngy's and pda ultimate, and for my purposes poldo's seems the quickest and most stable to me.
any help would be appreciated.

Haven't used emo as have used the radio mentioned with no issue on every ROM i flash and even 3 carriers.
Do you use quickgps and have you tryed running GPSTest as you will find fix faster, also will always take longer for fix off cold boot.

I used to live in Solihull area of Birmingham and use 1.71.09.01 radio with 3G switched on (HSDPA off) and I could leave it with data connected all day and sync my mail every 15 minutes and at the end of the day after a few short calls I would still have 40 - 50% left.
I have just moved to South Wales (valleys area) and the same setup down there my battery is on 0% by 4pm. So I have had to kill 3G and set mail to manually refresh to get through the day.

fixed it
gps test installed and a new radio 1.65.16.25
get a gps fix in about 10secs.
i come from south wales, lived near the vally's in bedwas. now live and work in greenwich london.

Glad you got this resolved but I used that Radio with the 'initial' UK HTC official WM 6.1 ROM update and it well and truely broke my GPS (compared to the WM 6.0 setup in my sig I'm back to using). I have no need to use gps test or any programs other that Tomtom Navigator 6.032 so I strongly suspect your results have more to do with GPS Test or the ROM, than that particular radio.

New Poll: Your experience about best Xperia radio

Hi Guys,
On previous Poll :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3765226
Radio 1.14.25.55 get 91 votes over 141 and poll finished biggest lead on all all other old radios now as we all know new radio is extracted "1.16.25.48" from new Korean R3BA015 Rom (Credits : nik40) , its rilphone.dll is not compatible as i read people experience on his thread but people live this radio , as they claim it is battery friendly...
but i think voice quality depend in real rilphone.dll
Well i am starting new Poll between these two radios let`s see now
either 1.14.25.55 is best
or
1.16.25.48 is best
Very Fine Regards

62% Guys satisfied with new radio with out rilphone.dll?

I used this radio with the supplied rilphone, however it did not automatically store the sms messages anymore. Therefor I removed the updated rilphone and went back to the rilphone of 1.14, this combination works perfect . Not much battery use, good signal reciept and still able to receive sms messages.

What is this "rilphone.dll" exactly? Can someone explain what it does?

I tried 1.16 for a while but went back to 1.14 - damn can't remember why now
I know I never tried it with the 1.14 rilphone -- it's worth a shot for a few days.

i prefer my v1.14. i can see that my gps is more sensitive on v1.14 . n as well as more stable data connection.
v1.16 got better reception, but then it keep on switch between HSDPA ./ 3G even EDGE. make it less stable.
so i stick to v1.14. oh yeah, battery is clearly show longer battery life.

so thats likely to be the jataayu messaging app in leo sets up the drm security permissions differently.. it maybe that the leo based roms use discretix rather than lockstream drm so it doesnt interfere as much..
nice find, ive not tried the 1.16rilphone yet,
so i guess it would be possible to work backwards to work out which reg is interfering with the none leo roms..
