I have the Tmobile version of the XDA. I removed the SIM lock and am now on AT&T Wireless.
My XDA has ROM version 3.14.40 ENG, ROM date 11/26/02, Radio version 6.18, Protocol version 324e4.
No matter where I am, how strong or weak the signal seems to be, I am unable to get more than about 11kbit / second (measured using bytecounter)
I was kinda expecting more.......

I have now tried both radio stacks in my ATTWS SX-56. I am on ATTWS service so this may make a difference and those that have TMO as their service provider may have a different experience.
The TMO stack does not keep the GPRS connection anywhere near as well as the ATTWS stack. It drops the connection quite frequently. Also, the signal strength is far lower and it tends to hunt for a signal that the ATTWS stack finds easily. Others can post their experience so that those considering changing their radio stack can make an intelligent decision. :wink:
Yes I believe the service makes a difference!
I'm on T-Mobile and my signal strength/GPRS connection is a lot better than it was with the AT&T radio stack. But I'm pretty sure the newer ROM has a lot to do with too.
Note: One should remove/disable both the T-Mobile Today Plug-in and the battery monitor, that should improve your performance.
Why would removing these help? Are ther particular files that are required to be deleted or is it just a registry entry?
I previously had the AT&T radio stack installed with 4.00.01 and later 4.00.05 WM2003PE on the T-Mobile network. It worked well, but occassionally the GPRS connection would remain dormant following a voice call. It appeared to remain connected, but would not send or receive data. I have since upgraded to the TMo 6.24 radio stack and 4.00.10 WM2003. My voice reception seems marginally better, as does the GPRS data speed, but the greatest improvement is that the GPRS connection seems more stable and becomes active again following voice connections.

Hi All !
I have AT&T SX56 (PW10B1) (900/1900) with ROM 4.00.16 and RS A20.10 . But the signal strength is much lower then with ROM 3.17.03 .
What is the best RadioStack ?
Thanks
Its a known fact that your signal strength will appear much lower under WM2003 then Pocket PC 2002, so don't be to concerned about that!
With that said A.20.10 is my radio stack of choice, but it all depends on your area and the network your using (AT&T / T-Mobile).
BTW I'm on the T-Mobile network Las Vegas, NV.

Thanks Qman !
Hi all,
Is it me or has anyone else managed to receive a better 3g signal since the update. Before the update I rarely managed to recieve a 3g signal but now it shows U more often than the G Signal.
Is it a coincidence or has the update changed the phones reception?
Cheers

thatll be the new and improved radio version... what theyve actually done is said that if the signal =1 then display 2 bars its no better than it was before only kidding...
weird - I have a P3600 from The Netherland which I brought to Italy. The phone worked fine with a Vodafone SIM. Recently I changed to TIM. As long as I have a good network signal Edge and 3G work as they should. However, whenever the signal gets poor and the phone switches to GPRS, I do not have any data nor phone connection (although the phone shows a strong GSM signal). As soon as the phone goes on EDGE the phone works again.
I already tried several Radio Roms. It looks like V. 1.56.70.11 is slightly improving the situation but in most cases I still cannot make calls and cannot be called.
Is this a SIM problem? Is there anybody in Italy who could tell me which ROM Versions TIM is using in their branded P3600?
Device info:
ROM version: 1.23.405.2
ExtROM: 1.23.405.103
Protocol: 32.83.7020.20H
Radio: 1.56.70.11
Any advice is welcome....
...likely it is only related to the poor TIM network coverage at my home. Strange is that my wife (she is using the same SIM from TIM) can make phone calls with her Nokia. It seems that the Trinity with the new radio rom is very sensitive to receive network signals but apparently the transmitting power is too low to connect (Trinity cares for your health http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) ....is there a way to boost the transmitting power or is it only controlled by the radio rom?
Issue connection to Telkstra UMTS 850
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
I am in Melbourne and had purchased a Touch HD which came from UK possibly and following are the details of my handset:
ROM Version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
Rom Date: 10/24/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U
I think it was shipped with possibly the following ROM and I say so because the radio and protocol versions match the ROM version below:
.
RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.2 5.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
ISSUE:
The issue I have noticed is that the phone doesn't connect to UMTS 850 but instead connects to 2100 or GSM TELSTRA (Australian Telecom) frequencies.
Can you please help me solve this issue and tell me if possible, what can I do to make the phone connect to Telstra 850 as that is the real 3G frequency for this service provider.
Is their a Telstra Radio ROM i can get to update and if so, how to do it? Do I need to use USPL?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
KBN
If it's a UK version I don't think it will connect to the Telstra NextG network - there's hardware differences
Knazar dont you read your previous posts? you asked the same Q in threee other threads (all were answered) then started a new one!
How about doing a little research before posting left right and center, you cannot solve the issue of Telstra UMTS because we're going to assume your HD is T8282. Infact you need T8285 to use Telstra's "rip off" Next G service. As for what ROM to flash since you have or seem to have very little experience I suggest reading over the Wiki until you have a good idea of the risks involved.

There's no way a T8282 will connect to the 850Mhz band.
Where'd you buy it? I just placed an order with Scorptec (Melbourne) and they get a lot of goods from overseas (usually Asia though).
