It seems as though my service is worse at my house since I starting. using the cm6 rom. I drop calls like. crazy! Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking of. updating my radio to something. other than the newest one that I already have installed. What was the last one back? My phone will go from 3-2 bars to 0 and takes a little bit to go back up just to do it again. It could just be me but I could have sworn it was better before on a stock sense rom.

Whats your radio, prl and pri. Do you have bad reception or just low bars. You might just need the visual signal fix since it seems to be an issue with this rom... but it is only visual. Flash fresh 2.33 And look and compare the dbm out put to what cm6 dbm out put if there's a difference try updating your prl and pri before your radio... if still different dbm out compared too fresh then update your radio... most likely its just visual and most of the themes fixs that and there's a fixs on here just for the bars.

You can flash any radio you want. (cdma hero of course) ive used the newest sprint one, the verizon one, and ive even flashed the original 1.56 rom radio. As long as you stick with a NON-GSM radio, you should be fine.
I flashed the Verizon radio and while my phone still drops it seems as though not quite as often. I also now have 1 solid bar at all times as apposed to 2-3 then 0. I have the newest prl and pri as well as updated my profile. I can't wait for my new airave to come in as the first one they sent me stopped working. Ill just have to play around with my phone some more and see what happens.

I believe the latest version is Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 found in the Wildpuzzle thread among others.
and that radio works well with cyanogen roms???do you recomende to intall?
I can say it fixed my navi prob in cm 7 #17
Radio's are universal. Not confined to any particular ROM. The latest one is said to improve signal strength at the cost of battery life.
so if i dont have signal problems better stay with mine? how much difference of battery usage are we talking?
I personally have stuck to my old version (15.31), because, for me, Signal reception is fine, and, I dont use GPS at all, so, CM7's non functioning GPS is a Non-Issue for me.
The battery difference will be minimal. It's tough to put a figure here though. :/
how do u flash a new radio???
@3xeno... can i possibly help my prob of datanetwork??
I have the HTC Hero CDMA running AOSP 2.2.1 and i have the DecaFuct kernel flashed. It is overclocked to 806mhz with setcup.
The problem i believe i have is the speed on my 3G network. I have checked the speed in various locations, some with good coverage and some with bad coverage and this is what im getting...
7:15pm down.24mps; up.30mps
7:25pm down.96mps; up.59mps
8:04pm down.34mps; up.31mps
8:28pm down.48mps; up.47mps
8:29pm down.51mps; up.47mps
im sure this is a problem because my roomate has the backflip and is getting speeds of down3-4mps; up1-2mps
is there a way to fix this?
First, where are you? Second, your friend's backflip is on ATT. I'm guessing you have a Sprint Hero. Those speeds don't look like 3G, they look more like 1X. I should know, I finally got 3G/EVDO last week and the difference is pretty amazing. I doubt it has anything to do with ROMs, be it AOSP, CM, Sense or whatever. Ditto on the overclock. That only affects the CPU speeds and has nothing to do with network speeds.
im in Irvine, i tried it inside my apartment, outside, and down the street it was all pretty slow. so is this normal?
Again what network is your roommates and the rom/kernal/CPU freq has nothing to do with network speed. What version is your radio(baseband), check in settings. It could be that sprint coverage isn't that great where u are.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
And also I just tested my speeds cause I was curious n mine weren't all to far from yours. Depends on server location and how many bars you have. Don't look at the numbers if you are satisfied with how your hero works that's all that matters.

my roommate is on att.
my radio is 2.42.01.04.27
the coverage maps show i have 3g coverage all over and around where i live.
i just thought i should be getting around 2-3 at least, its not the numbers that bug me its just that it takes much too long to download apps and games
i installed the latest radio and im averaging about 1mps each time, its not what i expected but its sure better than .5 mps
Also try updating your prl and profile. It may help a little. What is your current prl?

It's from many months ago. It doesn't offer an improvement in performance, and since it's older, not really worth using anyway.
i am using 2.6.29.6 decafuct
what is the prl and profile?
My download speeds are around 300kbps, uploads are closer to 500kbps. This is supposedly on 3g. I'm running aosp2.3.3.
I read somewhere that I have to reset the data connection using ##3282#, but this isn't working. Do I need to go rollback to the stock build to do this? Should I try something else first?
Thanks!

Make a nand of your current rom. Then flash a sense or stock/rom. Then updat your profile and prl. Then make a nand of that rom to use for more updates. Then restore your 1st nand and you should be good to go

There seems to be a problem with throughput with Sprint's network, at least that's what the tech told me. My 3G speeds are about averaging 70 kbps and have been for the past three weeks. A lot of people over on the Evo forums have been contacting Sprint about the problem. Check out the thread over there.

Thanks laie1472. I went back to the stock version and updated everything... it's running much better now (800K dl).
I guess it also depends on location. I'm on 60677 and my data is flying. At least it is at my house. For some reason I get slower speeds in different parts of town, particularly at work. Speeds there are in the <500Kb there whereas at home I topped 1900 yesterday in my garage.

Running CM6.2.0 Extremely Blue
OC'd to 768
I happen to have one of the Nexus One developer phones with a CDMA radio. The software version is 2.1.1. I've tried updating the phone with new builds for the the standard Nexus GSM phone but it kills the radio (no signal and GPS) but otherwise the phone works (ends up being a Nexus Touch). So it seems that any software build has calls for a specific radio type and this phone will forever be on 2.1.1?
You need to get an updated radio build. The problem is - I'm not sure that the normal radio can fit your chip.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll have to do some more digging into this phone to determine the radio and then look for a phone with the same radio. Although Android 2.1.1 isn't all that bad and the phone works well.
No further development occurred on this Nexus Verizon phone after the plug was pulled in March 2010.
Wait. You have a Verizon nexus one?
Can you share some pics and details????
Too cool.

No, never sold. I was told that a few phones were produced with the CDMA radio for development testing on Verizon's network for any issues with general and 3G operation. They were not supported by Verizon. The Google Android hardware team provided testing and support until 4/2010.
I've just flashed the 2.3.3 OTA release on this phone and again it killed the radio but everything else works. I'll just use it on wifi since I've updated from my Eris to a Droid X.
Did you use it as a phone on Verizon? Don't you have to do the entire activate the phone thing with them due to cdma?

Yes, the phone was activated on my existing plan for awhile. Othewise the "Verizon Wireless" on the lock screen doesn't show up and you get nagged to activate each time you boot the phone.
I may ask the same original question of the thread on the developer's forum. It may have been better suited for that forum.
What about the radio from an Incredible? The N1 and Incredible are pretty similar... not sure man, I didn't even realize there was a CDMA N1 in existence.
i guess there is now way you can extract the radio image from your original ROM, then upgrade to gingerbread, then try and flash that radio image on top of gingerbread radio?
(maybe wont work if version numbers go backwards...?)
One of the pre-requisites for going to 2.2 and higher was an upgraded radio...

For some reason, when I do an rom upgrade from a normal nexus gsm build, it doesn't write over the radio. The CDMA radio is still displayed on the Phone Info but zero bars of signal 0dbm 0asu readings.

My guess would be the Incredible too. There is the chance that if I flash the radio with an image that isn't compatible with the hboot, then the phone will be bricked. I did that with a G1. Since this phone has no published specs that I can use to compare the actual radio device against another phone, I'm hesitant to take the chance since 2.1.1 isn't all that bad. Even if I knew the chipset, I wonder if I would go for it?

You could always try and get some info from HTC. Can't hurt to ask them about the phone.
The chipset is QSD8650. I believe that's the same as Incredible. You can look in the Incredible forum and compare their radio build versions with yours - if they have the same structure, I guess you'll need to make some sort of a mix between Nexus HW and Incredible's Baseband drivers. I'm sure it's possible, it's just very hard without having the source.

I assume you can tell by one of the pictures I posted?...
My radio is 1.00.02.03.24 Hboot is the same for Nexus GSM, 0.35.0017 with MicroP 0b15. Looks pretty much the same as a GSM except for the phone.
Droid Incredible radio seems to be something like 2.15.00.nn.nn. Eeee, I'm scared to try it.
Oh well, thanks all for the comments and suggestions so far. Looks like 2.1.1 is it for this phone...

Radio update success
Bit the bullet and tried the radio.img from a EVO, which I found on XDA-developer forum to work with the Droid Incredible. Well, the phone still works, GPS and camera work.
Unfortunately, when I install a GSM build, the radio 2.15.00 still remains but the same problem with 0dbm signal remains. Even if reinstall the radio.img after the build, no success.
Maybe I should offer this radio as a prize for building a Nexus One GB image that works with an EVO radio image...
Got a Droid X as my phone now...
Wow you actually attempted to flash a new radio, and one from a different device?! And it actually works? You have some guts, nice work. This is actually good info for future android phones, now we know what might be possible.
Flashing radio is by far highest risk of bricking.
After trial and error my LG thrill 4G on us att is flashed and rooted thanks to Dan and everyone envolved.
No ghost Calls. Super fast and stock. I'm getting 7 mbps. Over double what I was running v18a with samba v2.

Yes flash the kdz over your current from and base band as it will replace both . Make sure to back up. After your done it sometimes will boot loop at the rogers screen.

how do you I unroot and get gingerbread?
As my sig shows, I'm successfully flashed on the Rogers v20c and I just have to commend it. It is the first stock ROM that is speedy out the box. Idk what it is with this rom, but my internet speeds are seriously WAY better with this rom. I'm in NYC, so you would expect awesome speeds here is hspa + sadly though, through various phone I have gone through (HTC tilt, tilt2, iPhone 3, 3gs, 4, xperia x10, dell streak, captivate, infuse, HTC aria) these inlcude phones my wife had as well. But point is, the guest and best speed ibwould get was surprisingly from my trust xperia where I would get between 3-4 Mbps down, 1-1.5 up. With this rom, I'm getting 6-8Mbps down and 1.5-2 up. This is happening constantly. In the Bronx, Brooklyn and even overly crowded Manhattan, which is where I experienced my lowest in the low 4's. I'm just amazed. Now I'm really gonna get into lestats kitchen and optimize other things and see how it works out but this rom does not need much IMO. I've used it for 3 days now. Battery has been better I guess. I'm used to having to charge my phone every night. But I do notice under heavy usage it withstands the load. My phone Jan my mp3 player for my morning commute to work and home on public transportation and I use stereo Nokia Bluetooth headset.

You dont have to unroot anything.
v20c is the firmware update release by rogers canada. (its the Gingerbread update) the first GB update with a near by baseband.
Keep through the forum about flashing the v20c.kdz file.
from your tag your using rogers already? you might be able to OTA that update.

Been on xda for a while, and have gone through a few phones, but have never really had the need to flash a radio. Saw there have been updated radios recently, and figured I'd give it a go. Curious which one I should use. I'm on AT&T, but don't know if I should flash the most recent ATT or Google Edition 4.3 radio from HERE. If it matters I'm running CM 10.2 (4.3.)
Thanks!

There's a collection of flashable radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
As for which one is best, you will have to experiment yourself; each user has different experiences with different radios, because it depends not only on your carrier but also location, etc.
Just make a note which version you're using now, and you can always go back if you choose.
