Not sure if I can offer a lot of help here but just to be sure you have checked all of your settings haven't you? Did you you flash the ROM to the phone or was it on the phone when you got the phone?

i bought it with an older energy, ies i checked all options ... the problem is the range ... it works just fine when is near (5-10 cm) for example to send a video i need the other phone on top of mine if i lift it at a certain point stops if i let it dows the transfer continues... a simple question would be the radio version affects also wifi and bluetooth ? could be a problem form wrog instal a rom from old user ?

AsFor your question yes the radio does control WiFi and Bluetooth and maybe a different radio version would help you out. But be aware if you have a T-Mobile HD2 you can not flash a 2.04.50.zz, 2.05.50.XDA, or any x.xx.51.xx radio to they will brick a TMOUS HD2. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to download different radio versions. Here is a link to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Also you can try doing a hard reset of the HD2 by holding down the volume up and down button while powering on your HD2 and it will bring cupcake stern with instructions on it. Just follow the instructions on the screencto reset the HD2. Make sure to use Microsoft My Phone or a equivalent app to back up you personal info before you hard reset your HD2.
sounds to me like a hardware problem. this is because (i think) the hd2 uses the same antenna and/or chipset for bluetooth+wifi. i remember reading some threads in which people posted the exact same symptoms as the OP and the problem turned out to be some loose/broken antenna wire inside the device.

In few threads i can read about X1 radio what is is ?? i know that the x1 have a rds radion in built but what is the download ?? PLS HELP ME i am a NOOOOOB at windows mobile.
thanks for all the people that can help me !!!
i mean this "IV - TRANSMITTER RADIOS" for the x1.
and sry for my english its only that what ive learnt in the school....
If you are talking about the Radio Panel to listen to FM radio stations then that should come pre-installed on your X1 and is usually located on the 6th panel. If it is not there then you can go to the panel manager settings and make it visible through there.
However, if you are talking about the GSM Radio version of the X1 then that is built-in within the ROM when the device is flashed and something that should not be played with unless you know what you are doing.
I hope this helps!
thx for the answer but in few threads you can download an
IV - TRANSMITTER RADIOS
XPERIA X1 RADIOS
- Radio 0.93.25.02 - prototype
- Radio 1.06.25.29
- Radio 1.10.25.18
OTHER RADIOS Hex-edited, adapted and tested on a security-unlocked Xperia
- FUZE Radio 1.02.25.27

NEW - RAPHAEL Radio 1.11.25.01 - Tested: It may not update the "Radio Version" on a security-locked Xperia but flashes OK
whats that ? only a firmware update of the in built radio ?? the overline says transmitter radios whats that
did you mean its good to download ?
thx
Hi SaAlWe, these "radios" are the software which controls how your device talks to the cellular network for voice and data. I also believe it controls wi-fi as well.
The original Xperia X1 radios are designed specifically for the X1, the others are taken from similar devices which are made by HTC who also made the X1 for SE.
Flashing a new radio will only change the radio, and "usually" doesn't affect anything else, although as always, YOU take the risk!
I haven't yet changed the radio on my X1 as it works fine, but I have changed it on other HTC devices with some good results of improved signal and less battery usage.
Hope this helps.
remember to backup anything first before flash radio rom, it will deletes all things on phone... i know because i did it just now no one telling me doing radio rom will hard reset phone at the same time...
How strange, I've flashed the radio rom plenty of times on other HTC devices and it didn't alter anything, forget causing a hard reset!
Thanks for the heads-up foxcheng, it takes me ages to rebuild all my apps and settings after a hard reset, so I won't change my radio now.

Absolutely positively 100% NO: UPGRADING YOUR RADIO ROM WILL NOT DELETE ANYTHING BUT THE PREVIOUS RADIO FIRMWARE
I've flashed TONS OF RADIOS (testing, editing, comparing...) and NEVER lost a single bit of my data
Please check the RADIO'S THREAD if you want to learn more about this topic
Thanks gtrab, I've never had a problem with my other HTC devices, so was thinking of trying a new radio at some point, until I read foxcheng's post which scared me off.
However, if you've done it lots of times on the X1, I'll give it a go.

Hi,
It make some week i had problem to activate wifi on my HD. On comunication manager, it try some second to activate it, but at the end it still desactivated.
I try to flash rom (some french rom, some english rom, wm6.5, wm6.1...). I try also a lot of radio rom (1.14,1.13,1.12,1.09) and hard reset, but it still doesn't work.
I installed Wifi Monster wich tell me that no Compatible Wifi adapter is found when it try to launch wifi.
If i find no solution i can try to send it to waranty (which mean i'll need to put off all cooked stuff..), but as i go to travel next week, i'd like to find a solution for don't have to use expensive data connexion.
Is someone have one brillant idea ?
Thx

Have you tried using wm wifi router or HTC wifi router?
I've moved your thread to general discussion as its not related to rom development
Hi,
thank for your answer.
I try both solution without result. On wm wifi routeur, on first startup, it said wifi was not found and ask me to select an interface. I had choice between TNETTW12511 and WWAN1. I try both, but don't work. I start connection sharing but don't see asociated acces point. (wifi stat is at 0db).
Same problem with the other softs...
no other idea ?
I use SD card flash method with olinex SPL 1.56. Is it possible the problem come to that ?
Sounds like the wifi chip is dead - lots of people have reported the same thing happening, and the only option is to send it back to HTC for a repair. We had it happen to one of ours - never found out what caused it, but the camera died at the same time.
The people who've had repairs and looked inside say the boards have been replaced, so it's not just a flashing/firmware issue. Some suggest the design is bad and the antennas are just too close to the chipset, but of course HTC won't comment on that idea.
Too bad.
I'll send it to htc when i came back and i'll use data til that, but it will cost a lot ...
BTW, thx for yours help !
Right since this place has gone android crazy over the last few months, I thought I'd give it a go. Went through all the instructions, updated hspl to 2.08 updated radio to greater than 2.08. Ran android, boot screen shows all the boot up text then melts away into two lines, then....nothing (left it half hour just black screen and green flashing led). Anyway, reading though the 19900 posts on android I stumbled upon a post saying that to run android you need to flash a .50 radio not .51 What I want to know is as I am using the wwe stock 1.66 can I flash a .50 radio with no ill effects or will I have to flash a new rom as well?
If it means flashing a new rom then I'll just stick with WM as I've got my phone running nicely and haven't needed to mess about with it at all (to get it working!) for months
You can flash the Radio ROM only. As you are not using a TMOUS HD2 then there is no problem with bricking your phone.
I am currently using the 1.66WWE ROM and 2.10.50.08_2 Radio ROM.
I don't know how well this works with Android, as I like WinMo.

Ok cheers for that, will give it a go. Won't be using android as a day to day option, just want to try it out see what all the fuss is about.
Be careful: I tried THAT already (updating my radio on my 1.66-ROM Radio 2.06.51.07) to run Android but found out that all upper radios 2.08 and higher) from the radio-thread do partially not work on my HD2 (some of the basic functions Phone/WiFi/Wireless Router/HSPA etc. didn´t work anymore after upgrading).
So after flashing new radio CHECK EVERY function of radio if it´s working as before.
I had to go back to 2.06.51 to get my smooth running of my HD2 again with all Radio features working flawless.

Got to admit after flashing 2.09.51 yesterday it actually improved things, got hsdpa at home (4 bars as well) never had anything other than gprs as I live in an old quarry, lowest it has dropped to is 2bars of 3g so as far as dial up connectivity is am better off. Not had other issues with wifi, phone or messaging either, not tried bluetooth or wifi router yet but would assume that they are fine also. Obviously if things do start going ary I'll flash the original back
BTW android now boots and runs like lightining!
So I give it a last chance. Didn´t try 2.09.51 (goofed the line and thought it´s for TMOUS). Tx for the tip
Did You change rilphone.dll and if yes to which version ?

Hi djingonthenet,
Can you confirm you have flashed the radio to 2.09.51 and not 2.09.50? Any issue observed so far?
I have the same configuration as your HD2 and would like to try the Andriod but worry that the radio may cause unknow issue to my HD2, eg phone,3g, or wifi, etc.
sorry if I'm posting this again
but please I'm about to rip my precious hd2 to pieces because of the reception issues
see it happens like this
I'm standing INSIDE my home
watching the signal
as it goes from full to half to none to service un available
all of this happens while I'm standing watching my phones signal dangles
and I cant make calls longer than one minute and then the call is dropped
that is also while inside my home
when standing outside
the reception is most of the times fine
but the call quality is below average
there is drop outs and weird sounds
I tried different radios (2.10 and 2.12 and 2.15(stock))
I tried different ROMS (windows 6.5 and 7 and android)
I never dropped the phone
maybe the only thing I did was removing the battery from the phone alot because I was trying to flash android when I first got my phone
please Admins and Experts in this great forum
help me cuz I'm about to go crazy
my phone is a T-Mobile HD2 with a yellow reset button
current ROM : Rafdroid HD2
Current Radio : 2.15
Current state : Hunting for network and draining off the battery
thanks in advance
What was it like on original ROM !
you could try a T-Mobile Radio & matching rilphone.dll or flash newest t-mobile ROM complete with radio & test to see if firmware issue or hardware.
Is reception in/near your home known to be a bit weak ?
Aint the rilphone.dll a windows based file? If so how would that have an affect on android? Im also having a signal drop issue
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Well rilphone.dll is used in conjuction with the radio firmware, when in android it will not use the rilphone.dll so could cause issues for some users pending on network ect ect !
You are using droid ROM with Radio package designed for WM,just my thoughts.
thanks for replying
can you please post the links to a stock t-mobile rom and radio and a compatible rilphone.dll?
but I didn't have the chance to test it under the original win mo
but the reception was fine when I first bought it and I was using a non primary sim card in it
so I didn't really notice
but I travelled to another country
and started using it along with another sim from the same carrier in a nokia phone
the nokia gives full 3G coverage
while the HD2 is hunting for the signal
so any thoughts ??
I thought Android ROMs are known to have issues with 3G !? check thread of your ROM as may have info on this.
Have a look in HD2 wicki if you want stock ROM.
I use my HD2 worldwide, Thailand, Singapore, China, Japan, England, USA on Energy ROM (Dinik version) & radio 2.12.50 & reception works normally with 3G available when using SIM on 3G capable networks.
Android is still a bit buggy for some users & to be honest Android does not seem worth the hassle to me as a good WM6.5.x build set up well is far better.
thanks Mister B for the advice
I flashed the latest version of the stock WinMo on my device and it seems like nothing happened
still the buggy reception issues
seems like the antenna inside the device is not sensitive enough to receive proper signal because when I go to the roof of my house the signal is fine
but when I stay inside signal drops and comes back almost regularly
I just cant belive that this is a hardware problem
because since I got my phone I never dropped it
maybe the only thing I did was removing the battery while the phone was on a lot of times....
??? im so confused ???
I would like to add another thing
when I put my fingers on the bottom right corner of the device ( right behind the on off key ) the reception works flawlessly
and as soon as I remove my fingers it goes back the way it was
so this is a hardware problem right?
What was the ROM number & what radio was included in ROM ?
If you have warranty or insurance you could try getting a replacement.
Looking like it could be antena related !
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
that's the rom installed for now
and I don't have insurance or warranty
I double checked that with htc care
I'm really really sad about this
..........
when i first got it i think it was working fine and i was flashing a bunch of different roms. then like a switch when i installed one random rom "core cell android nand" it had really bad reception.
it doesn't matter what i cant fix it, install or flash, i have crappy reception. i have put different sim cards where the "original phone had good reception" and still no change. i put my sim card in another phone and it has a good signal. i also tested it in a another hd2 and it 1whorked fine.
cant send it in, i bought it off of somebody.

Have found that sometimes it helps to remove the battery from the phone for 30 seconds or so. After booting, wifi is back to normal.
If that doesnt work, a restart of the router (at least 10 sec without power) also have helped sometimes.
Good luck!
i have tried to remove the battery restarted the router. flashed new radio etc. i run android on it now

Did you try for 30 sec on the battery? and at least 10 sec on the router?
Makes a difference you know
yeah i did pull it out for like 1 min. both the battery and the router. have also tried to find wifi hotspots at friends and at work still not working.
anyone know of a place to buy cheap wifi board to the HTC hd2 ?
have looked at ebay and mytrendyphone but no luck

what RADIO do you use?
HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0[a2sd][CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R7] ROM whit RADIO 2.15.50.14
so iam guessing hardware error. i have tryed the red button reset and hardreset whit the volum keys and powerbutton. still not working
EDIT:
i have tryed flashing rom and radio again
This could very well be ROM/Kernel related you would most definitly get a much more specific answer if you were to post in the ROM thread. there is probably more than just you going through this same issue.
in the same vein as the post above, i recommend testing wifi with STOCK WM6.5 to eliminate the (community-made) ROMs (like android, WP7, etc) as possible contributors to the issue.
if you get the same problematic results with the STOCK WM6.5 ROM, then it very likely is a hardware issue. if things are fine with STOCK WM6.5, then do consider a different android build and/or post your findings in the relevant ROM thread so that the chef and users can look into your issue.
if it is a hardware issue, i have read several threads here which seem to indicate that an antenna cable might be loose. a strong indication that this cable is loose is that bluetooth also suffers from a significant drop in range (because wifi and bluetooth share the same antenna). these threads seem to indicate that fixing the cable is somewhat easily possible if you are comfortable with opening the device and fixing it yourself.

A very good advice IMO.
Also it may be a losen contact between wifi/bluetooth module and correspondent antenna: both cases imply to open your hd2..., after this point could be an easy fix!
Good luck!
