Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

I decided to make this thread because it was really hard trying to read the original and get an idea of what works well and what doesn't.

Here's what I would like to know, and please keep it in this format.

1. What Radio are you currently using?

2. List the pro's & con's of the radio's that you have used.

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

Another Telus radio user here. No problems with text messages and battery life seems to have improved. Although I loaded a custom ROM at the same time as switching radios.

What are these "enhanced text messaging features" that you speak of.

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

Are all of these safe to use on Verizon? Any Verizon users with any input?

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

Also, my battery life is horrible. Would changing to one of the sprint radio help?

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

I'm using Sprint 1.110f. I am currently using Juggalo's rom, it's very sufficient. I would highly recommend his rom, and, the 1.110 radio. I get pretty good battery life out my touch pro

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

I switched from Sprint 1.03 shipped to Telus 1.04 and I am amazed that my phone does not overheat as before even when using wifirouter. My TP also seems a little snappier although that may be a placebo effect.

Re: Touch Pro CDMA Radio Review Thread

I have the vzw and use the Telus radio. My phone is much cooler than the stock rom and my signal improved in my area by about 2 bars. I think my battery improved but that is possibly more related to the specific rom I am using. My only con is that I have never gotten the initial GPS lock as fast as some (about 1 minute usually for me) but after the initial lock following a soft reset I get a solid lock in about 5 seconds until I soft reset again.
