He means the Sprint 1.96.00FW radio that cmonex promised to patch for users with problems. The very first (and only) available radio is 2.05.00WU that was yanked off a wm6.5 test rom, ie it's not an official release radio.

1.96.00FW-U i guess you could call it is what all of us with issues are waiting for.

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
only issue im having is low signal abrs (0_1) but it is performing just the same so im guessing the signal abrs are inaccurate as somebody stated earlier.

This is the only thing I’m very upset about the fact that I paid for it and is something that at the moment is usable. I went out and got me a TMO SIM and I have the same problems everyone is having here. SLOW Unstable and the SH!t hit the fan when I switch between GSM and CDMA. Also when in GSM mode the signal just drops out of no where. It like I have full bars then after two mins it will just drop the signal and will not pick it back up until I switch back to CDMA and Back to GSM. I had to soft reset 9 times today. That is more soft-reset then I had to do since I got the phone. Anyway I hope they fix this problem.

Give them a break!!! You guys are not the only one with problems. They had to work their butts off to get this going. Not only that they are constantly posting here and there trying to help other noobs myself included.

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
well after further investigation, i actually was getting very low bars and my weather and certain internet applications wouldn't work. I just flashed the sprint patched radio and everything seems to work again as normal. I will continue to test but so far so good :). Thanks Cmonex

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
Yeah..the new patched 1.96 radio worked out really well for me,may be a zillion times better than the first one.I also tried the newer 2.05 radio,but it still buggy and lagging,for now,I'm going to stick with the 1.96.

well thats because 2.05 is not new, it was the initial patched radio released with the sim unlocker. and like it said next to it it is a test.

But yes the 1.96 is perfoming even better, signal is stronger than before. thats the only problem i had with 2.05

nootrak4 11-03-2009 01:52 PM

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
Well I also have the new 1.96 and it working with no problem. The only thing I have a problem is the manual thing, Every time I switch to GSM, I have to go with the manual and select Tmo. I wish there was a way that after the first time the phone remembered and would automatically connect back to Tmo GSM network.

Picture this
You are at home and you are connected to your Wireless network (wifi) second floor and your wireless network doesn't reach your basement/cellar and you happen to take your laptop down to the basement and after returning to the first floor you had to reconnect to your Wireless network and you would have to re-insert the WEP/WPA key again every time you move out of range.

Well I hope this make it clear, but this is what is happening to me. Every time I lose the signal I have click Select and reselect Tmo.

Also some that is happening is the my phone would drop the signal or at least the bars on the phone show that I have no signal, but someone is able to call me but I’m not able to call out until a do one of the following 1. Soft reset the phone 2. Return to CDMA or select automatic and re select manual and do the whole look for network

Has anyone been able to fix this or to make the phone remember that you have a Tmo sim and that this is the network it should be connecting too? I know this is a work in progress and all but this is the other bug.

Yes

After flashing the 1.96 WU radio, I am flipping back and forth to 1x and EVDO. It seems it goes from EVDO to 1X, then loses signal completely, then finally goes back to EVDO, but then eventually cycles through the same thing again.

Another issue I am having is received texts show one hour in the past. This may be a network issue, as I flashed back to stock rom and radio and had the same issue... maybe or maybe not. Is anyone else having the texting timestamp issue?

The flipping back and forth on 1x/EVDO is driving me crazy.

Additionally, and it may be unrelated, but now QuickGPS will not update as well as GPS lock works, however it does not list the sattelite count it is currently connected to, and TOMTOM will not work unless primed again.. kinda wierd

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
I've been running the 1.96WU radio since last night and haven't noticed any issues... however... as always, I did have to do a PRL and Profile update to stabilize things. I also went ahead and did a hard reset last night even though I probably didn't need to do so. All is running well today, and I was among those having serious issues with the 2.05WU radio.

ajac 11-04-2009 12:15 PM

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
why not just set it to CDMA only? That way it wont get a chance to search for GSM if you keep it on world mode. and no issues on battery life here using the 2.05 radio though I probobly need to run the World unlocker again since I just flashed but will do that when needed to

Before anyone jumps on your back, i fully agree with you. I thought it was a bad idea from day one..But any how just my opinion....But hey with a few strings attached i guess if you really need it "with a few bugs" you can get on another network.

LOL I feel The same. But is a work in progress. It working good now. the only problem i'm having is that when i get on a Tmo the phone will not remember and when i lose the signal (going into a tunnel) when i come back i have manually redo the whole thing again. I asked if anyone is having the same problem but i guess not because everyone is not saying anything about it.

nootrak4 11-04-2009 10:56 PM

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
Has anyone figures out how to make the TP2 (sprint) recognize the SIM card and connect to the network automatically or at lease after you set it up the first time, The phone to reconnect to the GSM network with out having to do it all over again. If this is something that TMO SIM can’t do, but ATT SIM can, PLEASE let me know I would switch in a heartbeat as the TMO SIM I have is pre-paid.

My biggest complain is when I lose the TMO signal due to me going into a basement or under a tunnel when I get back and the phone tries to reconnect I have to redo everything all over again.

1) flash stock ROM, full RUU preferably, so it flashes a stock Radio too
2) if you did security unlock, run http://hpcmonex.net/htc/secrelock.zip on the phone to relock the security
3) if you did SuperCID, set the CID back to SPCS_001 (if you have a Sprint device! verizon/telus have different CID) by doing AT@CID=SPCS_001
4) then finally flash back Stock SPL by using SPL relocker.

nah, this radio patch is freely posted, freely downloadable if you didn't notice before.
the SIM/Sec unlocker is charged for but that's just a prerequisite to this hack that you can use for other things too.

anyway I hope your issues have been solved with new radio patch

PS: testing is hard, because we don't live in USA, and our testers who do didn't report problems originally, as apparently it is also ROM dependent / usage dependent

If you need another tester I am willing to do some leg work. My TP2 isnt my primary device so Im not worried about missing phone calls an such. ( havent unlocked sim though)

Has anyone been able to use the ATT Internet on their phone I have tried both roms and cannot get it. Keeps saying the settings are wrong.

Re: Problems with Sprint WORLD Unlocked Radio
 
This is working great for me, but my only thing is that when i lose the signal while in GSM mode, i have have to do the manual thing all over again. Has anyone found a way to set the GSM to a Particular Carrier or for the phone to Recognize the SIM you have and auto connect to the network that the SIM card belongs too.

I have tried so many different things and nothing has worked for me. I mean does anyone have the same problem. maybe is the sim i have should i go get other one. Please advice.
