Hey guys, I didnt see any thread like this before so I think no one has taken the time to do this (hope to be right.) The thing is I tested the title listed Android Roms with different .50 radios raging from 2.08 to 2.12. I tested all this using MichyP R8, manusfreedom 11aug, and the used builds default kernels
I found specific radio irregularities that might be useful for the users out there who are still experiencing difficulties with their android builds and use this as a way to get a better result.
**Always remember that I have HSPL and therefore I can test other Radios. If you dont have HSPL, then you shoudnt do this.
All roms gave me the exact same response on both HD2s I own
R 2.08 - Robotic voice, overheating
R 2.10...26 - BSOD, constant screen freezes (more than usual)
R 2.11 - System freezed the first two boots on fresh install, some screen freezes afterwards but generally a improvement over all other.(BEST Result)
R 2.12 - Extreme battery discharge, overheats easily, low sound, signal takes longer to recover, signal constantly shuts down for over 10, 30 secs.
I will keep working on this. as far as I can tell, Radio 2.11.50.20 was the best of all. Im using SetCPU with Conservative 768mhz max/ 245 min. screen off 245/245 and I get around 15 hours of battery, almost no Screen freezes. I will be testing more Kernels and builds as they come out with good improvements in their respective readmes. Hope this was as helpful for you as it was for me.
Michyprima's (r8) Zimage caused system hanging under Mattcleo 1.6b. try another kernel
You think all the other 2.10 series radios will have similar issues? I have been using 2.12 and it worked fine with Froyostone, apart from the screen freezes. I am also having all the same issues as you with 2.12 and Mattcleo 1.6b. Signal bouncing up and down, data connectivity inconsistencies. I am definitely going to give 2.11 a try.
actually the 2.12 radio is the one that works best for me I've tested out on like 14 diff. HD2's it does Drain my battery like CRAZY but its the only one that gives me the most stability.
I think I've try'de them all but I will try the 2.11 radio again see how it works and report back.
there are 2 version 2.11.50.xx which is better??

2.11.50.20. thats the one
I've been using 2.12 all the way and it works fine with mattc 1.5 & 1.5b. No freezes, but it's true that it gets hot really fast and that battery is drained faster than with others.
With MattcLeo 1.6b and 2.11.50.26, constant hard system freezes. Not even usable.
Going to try 2.11.50.20
R 2.08
I've been using 2.08 for a while since flashing my WM Miri Rom and kept it when I went to the Froyostone Android. Seems fine for me. No robotic voices either.

yes, with 1.5b and 2.12 and I got the most usable Android experience thus far, but the screen freezes were very frequent.
6:10 AM Eastern
After playing with several variants I found that
Radio: 2.11.50.20 + MattcLeo 1.6b with RMNET to be the most usable combination so far. Screen Freezes are of course still there, but it seems that like OP says downclocking to 768 max lessens the frequency. Also I have noticed great battery life especially with 245 Max and 245 min profile set for when screen is off.
I am also running 2.11.50.20 from beginning and its just great!
Anybody have a link for 2.11.50.20?
i tried to download the radio ver 2.11.50.20 from here but when i try to flash it it tells me that the radio ver im going to update to is 2.10.xx.19

That's right, but you will flash 2.11.50.20 don't worry
It seems that with 2.10.50.20 radio, NRGZ8's Barebones Rom, and Mattcleo 1.6b RMNET, after about 2 hours of mostly problem free usage, Sleep of Deaths started coming on full force.

I use ChunkyDroidRom for my WM rom,
and It seems like every rom I put on my Phone always does the sleep of death, causing me to pull my battery or soft reset.
Are there any WM roms that would damn near of get rid of this problem or is there a certain radio or spl i need or something, this is so annoying.
I had the ShubCraft rom, Matty's Sense rom, and all of them from the Gamesquare.co.uk place. and they are all 2.2 Froyo.
Have you tried reformatting your SD card? In the very least, delete folders that you didn't create. Such as Program Files and Application Data.

im also experiencing the same with my phone... i flashed my rom to kumar premium and from time to time my screen goes blank. the only way i can get my phone up and running is to do a soft reset. plz help

You need to do a little more research. I have two threads talking about how Radio affects Android builds. Radio 2.10.50.26 gives the SOD in most phones. and it also tends to lose signal. 2.12 the same, with overheating and excessive discharging. 2.11.50.20 is the best Radio of all. it took me about 2 month to get those findings. Hope I helped you and others ^_^

I was told that you need to upgrade your sd card from a class 2 to a class 6 n that should fix it, that true?? im experincing the same SOD almost everytime it goes to sleep, im running the energy rom with mdeejay evo sense v1.7 rEVOlution
The SOD is caused by the Android kernel, not your SD card size or class.
I had the sod issue with new baritone froyo build. I found not using live wallpaper and not leaving wifi on when idle avoided it...been running Android without hard reset now for over a week.

I'm testing it right now, running on shubcraft 1.5 ppp. Signal is a lil better but battery life don't know yet. Have to run for a few more hours.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
Yes, it's android friendly. I've noticed the signal is much better, I get signal in areas I never did before, but the battery drain is a bit higher than it was on 2.12.50.
I had major problems, like no signal, no data connection, slow speeds, dropping connections.
I went back to 2.12.50.2_2 which is the best for me.
Much better signals for me. Running FroyoStone SenseV2.
Battery drain is hard to tell, since it wasn't very good before.

I tried this new radio, I switched from 2.10 to 2.14. Before i used to get 6Ma in standby but after using 2.14 radio, I get 15Ma in standby. It drains the battery more than 2.10. I didn't have chance to test the reception.
I've tried the 2.14 Radio with the Core_Droid_V.0.3_PPP Android Build.
Signal is better than with the 2.12 Radio, but WIFI gives an error in Android.
Tried WIFI in WM6.5, works flawlessly there.
Is this because of my Android Build or do you guys experience the same problem?
yeah i read the new radio is better on reception but harder on the battery

I haven't had time to test the battery fully. To get an accurate reading it really needs to run all day from a full charge but froyostone sense v2 has CPU speed limitations built-in to help with battery life

it's been working better than .12 radio. better battery life, better data speed, same voice quality and not freezes at all. very happy with this radio. running LeoEvo version.
Radio 2.14 working well on bangsters 1.4 for me. It feels faster but may be a placebo effect. Definitely didn't do any harm.

It works very well for my two HD2s. In fact, I have not lost connection for the HSPDA since I flashed it in!
anybody tried Radio 2.15.50 with andriod?
and if so, what are your opinions?
i see that i get much better connections and smoother performance but horrible battery life...
and for those who tried several Radio versions, which one you think is the best?
I am running 2.15.50.14 and the device bricks within a few seconds of running HARET - I just get static horizontal white lines that look like they are made up of small text. I have to remove battery to get running again.
It just wont work.
Can I revert the radio back to one that will allow me to run Android?
I simply cannot stand Winmo any more - the HD2 is a beautiful device that is crippled by third rate software, I wish I had purchased an Android phone, I still have 12 months to run on my contract. ( Help!
well i got another problem using this Radio (i don't know if it's due to the Radio version or the android build itself); Haret and CLRCAD stopped working and give me an error message
and yup you can downgrade your Radio, just make sure you have HSPL
lol totally agree here, my next phone is definitely gonna be andoidish but you can't deny that our beloved HD2s are still up to their names
I got my HD2 back from HTC recently after a touchscreen replacement. They had flashed 2.15.50.14 to the phone. I stuck my SD card back in, booted android with no problems whatsoever. Still using the same radio and whatever stock rom they had flashed to it 3 weeks later and haven't used WM once

cool that's a relief so this Radio is all good to go
Using 2.15.50 radio with android and it's great, battery life is excellent and no problems for me.
what exactly is you issue you can get android to run? i run 2.15.50 and have no issues what so ever.
i jus switch to 2.12 1 hour ago. but sleep of death for android still occur. using shubcraft 2.0
Ive been using 2.15.50 for a little while now and have observed that it will charge up to the full 100% in android where it was only charging up to the high 90's before. I have had no trouble running either android or ubuntu with this radio on my tmous HD2
me 2 seems everything works fine with this radio
I've been using the 2.15 radio for awhile now. As mentioned earlier the charging actually reaches a full 100%, battery life seems to be more efficient now, and I've had little to no connection drops as compared to before. You may be having problems if you're not using HSPL3.

I am running with no drops, G-Sensor fix, etc. and the latest kernel with no problems, but on 2.12.
I could never get good battery from 2.15...even now.

I've been on 2.15 for a while now, never had any problem with it. Battery life is great, charges to 100% (with proper calibration I can get over 2 days moderate use out of my phone as well) very few data drops except when I switch to a roaming network, call quality is excellent as well.
Running 2.15.50.14 (The latest official T-Mobile update) with no modifications. Works fine with FroyoStone Sense V3.2. Terrible battery life.
On a side note - This update helped the battery life when running in Windows Mobile mode, I get significantly more time out of the device than with the ROM it came with originally.
I'm running 2.15.50, I'm having lots of issues.Random crashing when using GPS or 3G connection.Only 1 of 6 Android builds I have tried work without crashing or not loading plus robot voice on calls.Will try to load a custom ROM and downgrade the radio version.
No problems so far. Usimg it for a long time.
Everything works as it should!

Hello all, just flashed WP7 and am loving the netflix and the sexy UI!
I would just like some feedback as to what radioversion some of you are using with this phone. I was using a "compatible" radio with an old android nand rom I was using, however I'm thinking that probably it's sub par for a WP7 setup.
I kinda have some complaints that callers can hear things quite loudly that normally go on in the backround "ruffling potato chip bags" sounds like super static noise lol.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
Bump... I would like to know as well!
2.15.50.14 but I have a problem with this version, high battery drainage in 2G network! Is somebody have same problem with this version?
Hi,
I had the high Battery drain as well with 2.15 Radio.
So tested 2.08 and 2.10.50.19_2, both seemes better because I could run on day with a battery load.
cheers
I am using 2.12.50. I get around 11 hours on my battery - with pretty reasonable usage.
Just flashed to 2.14.50, now I'm good.

Definitely INSANE battery drain with the phone just sitting, lost 50% power in about 5 hours of the phone just sitting there, with all stuff on manual sync too DEF giving 2.14 a go.
Hi, I am a complete noob so forgive my ignorance.
I installed Radio 2.15.50.14, then MAGDLR113 and finally WP7 8107.
Wow - I have fell back in love with my old HD2! Only problem now is a)reception and b) battery life.
Having read a few forums/threads I think i need to downgrade my radio to 2.14 but I can't find how to do this with MAGDLR installed - the old custom RUU's don't seem to work.
I am probably missing something really obvious but please help.
Thanks
Does those Radio works with "T mobile" HD2 USA Version??
im thinking of switching to WP7. is it fully stable?
what works/what doesnt?
Not 100% Stable. But I will tell you, it is faster than Android without it being overclocked of such sort, and the battery performance is exceptionally well.
My phone hasn't been charged for about 13 hours. I've used it from medium/alot of usage today. I'm just waiting for it to die out since I'm training to battery these next 3 days so I can get the most out of it. The interface of wp7 looks very nice and simple to me. Some people like it some people don't. Their are a few problems with camera and the pinch to zoom on the internet explorer, but this will be patched up soon. So far I love it. Also, if you do flash wp7, I would suggest radio 2.14.
The 2.12 radio has better battery performance a tad bit, but it will always switch from edge/3g/hsdpa. 2.14 gives me a very stable connection with great battery performance, and 2.15 is a battery hog. I hope I covered enough for ya
