I dont see it on the 6.5? mine is stock. anyways dont chew me up too much for asking this question. but someone please let me know. Thanks!

A radio is a portion of the firmware that provides data and voice services. (flashing a new radio can provide different behavior in both of these.) Hope this helps, cheers!

When you flashed another rom was it with a different radio?

Thanks for all the feedback. I just got done flashing. We'll see how it goes.

I'm sorry but last time i did check, custom ROM's do not flash your ROM a new radio lol... I could be wrong though but hmmm..

I haven't noticed much difference at all. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I would also flash the latest stock ROM to grab the new PRI along with the radio. Then flash to whatever custom ROM you want.

Be careful though... the stock ROM comes with the horrible 60660 PRL. 60660 and 60662 have horrible channel acq tables that cause your phone to scan and even try to connect to VZW EV signals. Kills my battery real quick. I can always tell when my phone auto upgrades since the battery starts dropping like a rock and the data starts stalling all the time. I put PRL 60659 on and all is good after that.

Where do you get 60659?

It would depend on what the chef put into the rom, if you cook in a radio then the phone would get a diff radio... I don't think many chefs do that though. So if he flashed to the Sprint 6.5 he would have the new radio even after he flashed to a custom rom. (placebo effect is in play at this time me thinks!)

running custom rom with stock 6.5 drivers, and new radio. i must say im very impressed. my battery lasted from 1 am till 8 pm the next day, i was beyond shocked. i usually get about 2-6 hours use. granted it was sitting for a couple hours when i was sleeping, but still, to send/recieve about 150 texts. about an hour on the phone and then some web browsing?

very impressed sprint, very impressed

I have tested all the radios and this is a lot better than the 2.23, but still no where as good as the Telus 1.92 WV radio. If you have unlocked your phone and need to get on a GSM network use the latest radio, but for Sprint network use the Telus. I notice that with the Telus radio I'm able to make and receive calls in elevators and where I sit at work without being dropped, along with the phone ringing instantly. (I'm 26 floors up and surrounded by office buildings). Again, this is just only for my area (Houston), but it maybe different else where. I recommend you try every radio out there for the TP2.
