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?

the roaming logo will still be there no matter what radio u use...cuz ur still using a fido simcard...correct me if i am wrong...
use wisbar advance and then get a theme and u can not have the triangle...and have a good looking theme as well

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..
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

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.

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

Weird. Roaming is supposed to be a network setting and is not made automagically by the rom. Are there chances you enabled it before the flash?

I tried the newest baseband i could find to no avail. i tried punching in all my apn settings manually, nothing. I was able to connect and register on FIDO umts and gsm networks but it still said I was in roaming.
I was doing a bit of googling earlier and some ppl were saying that it's got something to do with many of the roms are running gingerbread and that the p990hn has no love for gingerbread atm. I just kinda skimmed but that's what I got from it.
I'm going to see try a froyo rom for the 2x and see if I encounter the same issue.

Wow that sucks... so we have to offically wait for them to release gingerbread?

"Of course you wont be charged more.
Just an FYI, you are ON the Fido network even if it says Rogers or roaming on rogers. When you roam outside of the Fido/Rogers network, on something like AT&T or T-Mobile, then you are roaming on a different network, not only that, you get a text message to remind you that you are on a foreign network. Hope this helps."
That was quoted from the fido forums.. so apparently its already on fido but because the coding is not right and no official gingerbread support its considered roaming but wont be charged extra money.. I wont be able to know until next month and even still its a risk.

"APN: internet.fido.ca

After calling Fido, it seems that using National Datat Roaming on the Rogers network is allowed, and there is no extra billing since it's what the Nexus has to do as well. Cool. I guess someone can close this if they want."
So I just put that info in and it works.. I can make calls and use data... make sure you click use data roam

/agree again, with any luck we'll see a gingerbread update in the incredibly near future and this problem will cease to exist.
I got my new updated firmware that came out with 4.3 flashed on my sprint htc one flashed to straight talk verizon s-off with moonshine. What are the improvements that I"am supposed to see ????
I have had problems with all 4.3 roms and I have tried them all, my call signal most times shows zero bars when its full signal, sometimes it will go full bars but always goes back to none fast and the phone is never moved.
I thought flashing the 4.3 firmware would fix this issue but it did not.
Another thing is I use it on a verizon samsung network extender at home which its the old model the first model they came out with that was call signal only no 3g data were the newer model has 3g, but I notice it does this when I"am not home sometimes also but I have not really watched it while running errands in a good while. When I"am on the network extender when I call out or on a call received my phone will show full bars the whole time.
I think its working ok, but the no bars on my phone is annoying I mean I might as well not even have bars on my phone at all if they are not going to be accurate.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Not convinced you actually know what you're talking about. For one, the firmware version is not 4.3-- that's the ROM software version, which is very distinct from the radio version that came with the 4.3 OTA. 4.3 changed how cell signal is displayed to match the available/in-use data connection as opposed to the 1xRTT voice/text connection. Besides that, if you're using the Sprint HTC One on Verizon, you're not going to get particularly good speeds even with 3G.
If you don't like the behavior, there's probably an XPOSED module or a downgrade to 4.1 to fix that.
I dont know where your getting your info, but there are firmware downloads for people that are rooted and do not receive htc / sprint ota updates for 4.3.
Check out the following and see for yourself...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46123838
Then see either full firmware or Full Firmware w/o hboot, boot, recovery (for s-off users (thx bigdaddy619 for testing!!!)
The phone is capable of running verizon 3g just as well as sprint 3g.
Unless you have a sprint htc one on straight talk verizon like I do then you have no idea of how verizon 3g data works on a sprint htc one and you are providing an uneducated guess, which straight talk verizon 3g data speeds are not any part of this posting.
Perhaps could it be you either work for verizon or sprint and just hope to deter people from flashing their sprint htc one or any other smartphone to straight talk verizon ????
If verizon was not so much of blood sucking company trying to squeeze every penny they can from their post paid subscribers and would compete with sprint and t mobile and even more on the prepaid side where sprint mvno's get lte and t mobile prepaids get lte and even at&t prepaids get lte even straight talk at&t gets lte, but verizon will not compete and allow lte, this will all be verizons undoing, because with sprints infusion of cash from softbank they will be building lte very quickly and when sprint merges with t mobile in the near future then verizon will be strong armed to either compete or be left behind and they will be put down like a dead horse and many people like myself will love to see the day that their greediness and cockiness comes back to haunt them and they will then pay for their arrogance...

You may want to read a little. 4.3 is not the firmware version, but the ROM version. The current firmware is a 1.x release, even still.

The entirety of your complaint is you complaining about "bars" and real signal strength/speeds. The actual data behind the bars are related to both, but you don't seem to have any idea what the bars are. They represent the strength of your data radio if you're connected to data, 1XRTT if you're on a voice call.

If verizon was not so much of blood sucking company trying to squeeze every penny they can from their post paid subscribers and would compete with sprint and t mobile and even more on the prepaid side where sprint mvno's get lte and t mobile prepaids get lte and even at&t prepaids get lte even straight talk at&t gets lte, but verizon will not compete and allow lte, this will all be verizons undoing, because with sprints infusion of cash from softbank they will be building lte very quickly and when sprint merges with t mobile in the near future then verizon will be strong armed to either compete or be left behind and they will be put down like a dead horse and many people like myself will love to see the day that their greediness and cockiness comes back to haunt them and they will then pay for their arrogance...

Excuse me the firmware is not called 4.3 its just with the 4.3 update, if would have read that you would have realized that and not tried to be a know it all thinking you know everything which you clearly do not.

That's pretty ironic, all things considered. I've provided some of the information you were looking for (how and why signal bars may be showing as lower than before with the new firmware), but instead you've posted even more links proving you don't know what you're talking about. Neither the touch control or radio firmware version numbers are even near 4.3. Feel free to keep digging your own hole, though.

Your link proves that you don't know how to actually post links on this forum; besides that, you ignore the posts OMJ's made in the radio threads discussing what kinds of firmware are available-- and yes, those are hboot, radio, and touch. Nice try though.
As I explained jack*** its the new firmware that came with the 4.3, you work so hard to be as much of a jack*** as you possibly can be. The links show the downloads for the new firmware. Try not being such an a** you act like your such a know it all, well you can get off the high horse you think your riding and you know what you can do with your attitude, where you can put it...
You've given it a valiant effort Rirere, bravo to you sir.
Mods should probably scrap this now since the op has decided to instigate a flamewar instead of reading the threads he is linking to as "support" for his statements.

He started things he had no right to post to begin with because he never had an intension on helping, only to try to put me down and act like he is a know it all...

I feel like a language barrier is making this worse than it ought to be..
He very clearly explained himself in his first reply to you. It might have started out a bit condescending but he promptly explained why he felt that way.
Your replies to him hint that you don't understand what he has been explaining. Try asking people to elaborate instead of name calling, it helps makes xda a nicer place to visit.

I never said anywhere on here that I dont have good signal I said that my phone just shows that I don't but in all actuality I have full signal strength the phone just does not show it unless there is a call in progress.
Anyone please do not post on this unless you can do so without an attitude and if your post is not about this subject then you should not be posting on this.

OK, here is me still being on topic.
Read his first reply again. He is correct. The signal bars you see do not represent the same thing they used to. If you don't understand what he meant, ask for more information.
If you are on a custom rom, try posting in that rom's thread, especially if signal is not displaying at all.
Hell, just post in that thread anyway since you obviously don't believe the information you've been provided here!
Based on what info you've given, I don't know how much more you'll get from anyone though...

I know for a fact that the problem is software related I dont need anyone to tell me that.
His comments were off topic, he was trying to tell me that there is no firmware update that came out for 4.3 which is wrong. Excuse me for calling it 4.3 firmware when it has its own number I dont need anyone acting like that trying to tell me things that I know are true.
I did post on elegancia rom but they the main guys run the gsm version of htc one and do not do anything on the sprint side some other guys do so the sprint support is not as kept up as the gsm stuff is.
I was only trying to figure out what problems were fixed in the new firmware if there were and fixes in call signal accuracy or anything like that.
I just dont need anyone acting like they know everything trying to tell me I"am wrong.
Almost every 4.3 custom rom for the htc one says they recommend that you upgrade your firmware which that guy was trying to tell me there is no firmware upgrade for 4.3 which there is and I posted the links for it. I dont need anyone trying to tell me something that I"am wrong when I"am not and I proved it.

You are asking us on the sprint HTC one forums about fixes for a rom built for gsm HTC one?
I have no idea how to answer you, try this:

Its not for just gsm, its gsm and sprint, you didnt read what I posted clearly. I said the main guys use gsm they have sprint guys that help out on the sprint support so the sprint support is not as quick to update as they have to contact the sprint guys on the sprint issues. The rom is for gsm and sprint.
Hey everyone, just was wondering if anyone else was having this issue where the phone won't connect on LTE mode on virgin mobile. Every so often I won't get any connection at all unless I set it to cdma only. I then need to go into dss and reset the connection.
I've tried multiplie roms, kernels, the universal apn fix etc.

It seems like you may have a weak signal to me. I don't think ROMs, kernels, or any fixes can help you in this matter. Does it happen everywhere you go or just in certain locations?
It happens everywhere, I was doing some digging online and it seems to be a fairly common issue. I tried multiple kernels etc because I noticed that it seemed to be better with different ones. Also sometimes, like now, my lte signal is great.
cant get LTE anywhere anytime
I have had this issue since I first flashed this phone back in December with CM11 I called virgin mobile back then and the told me that it wasn't my problem it was a issue they where having in my area so at the time I agreed with them and they even have me half off my bill $18 refund. Since then I have noticed that it wasn't them it was something caused by me flashing the phone. I've been on 5 different Roms and a few kernels nothing seems to change it but I'm not to concerned with it I still get great speed with it in 3g plus I'm on WiFi 18 hours a day so don't really effect me. BUT WHAT IS: I can't sent MMS messages or receive them right now I can't get the IP address etc for the network to work I tried flashing the VMU APN fix but when I did it caused WiFi not to be available (won't turn on) I'm currently on RaptorRomv2. Please if anyone could help with a solution that would be appreciated thanks.

Hello,
Are you on 1.48.652.2 or 1.47.652.1? I'm on Boost Mobile and I noticed the radio was updated on 1.48.652.2 from 1.46.40.1113_2 to 1.46.40.0721. I noticed I get better signal in my area with the new radio. LTE has never been a problem for me, but if you haven't upgraded, maybe this will help you.

That is the newest one, so I don't what to tell you. I have seen quite a bit of people on this forum with LTE/signal problems only with Virgin. I think it is on their side. It is weird, though, since they are a Sprint MVNO and no one on Boost is complaining of these problems.
So 1.46 is newer than 1.48 hows that make sense. I guess it does make Sense run huh lol

I think you misunderstand. 1.48.652.2 is the updated software/RUU that includes everything. 1.46.40.0721 is the updated radio for 1.48.652.2. The old software 1.47.652.1 had the old radio 1.46.40.1113_2. You can get the old software RUU and see if the radio works better for you. If it doesn't, Virgin has a problem that they have to fix.
Here's an update from me, I don't know what happened but I have not had the LTE/3G issue for a while now, pretty much sine the day after I posted this thread. On my end I am going to call this fixed. Only thing I can think is that the software did update from then till now so perhaps it fixed the issue.
