What is the Radio software?
 

I just installed dcd'd clean rom. It mentions that the radio software in not included and I am not sure I know what this mean. My phone seems to work fine. I can call and the internet is working, but I am on the my local Sprint network. Do I still need this? What does it do? Chad

It means it won't upgrade your radio firmware. If you had 1.40 before then you'll still be at 1.40.

Thanks! Any advice on how to check what version I am running? And what benefits do you get from upgrading it? Chad

radio version is under

settings -> systems -> device information

I also have the new DCD'd.. i think i installed the radio.. and my current radio is 1.40. I would also like to know the answer to why we need it/what it does.

Go to Start->Settings->System->Device Information for the radio version you have.

Some people have said they gained better coverage with the radio in the latest stock ROM but I'm sticking with 1.40 as many others have.

Cool I found it. Looks like I have 1.32 installed on mine. I have installed colonels rom and dcd's rom, but I guess that is what I had originally had install on my phone. Not sure if I should upgrade it or not, seems to work so far, but the phone is still new) Chad

..... dumb question.... what is Sprint Radio... and how do I utilize it?

According to mine I have 1.3xxxx...... I dont see any apps associated with it though.

The "Radio" is what communicates with the cell tower so you can place a call. It's not like an FM Radio.

Sprint Radio 1.3xx sucks it only plays Disco.:rr:
