Radio Update?

Well I have seen various threads where someone is told to try and update their radio to a newer one, ive seen this in a few threads mostly battery life threads. So...

What exactly is a radio update?


Does it completely wipe out my phone like a rom update?


Im running Sprint in Southern California (Tustin/Irvine), which radio should work best?


Where does one get these radio updates?


Im running a Sprint Touch Pro (bought on release date) running MightyRom 4.16

Re: Radio Update?

A Radio Upgrades are different radios for your signal strength and speed

It doesn't do a hard reset only a soft reset so no data are lost

you can get it here - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616

My favorite is the Telus

and you upgrade the radio the same way as flashing but no hard reset

Re: Radio Update?

Im using a sprint tp flashed to cricket and I have a weak signal. Sometimes I get full bars but it goes up and down while I watch it. Right now Im getting 1 bar. When I make a call it will go to 3 bars at 1x rather than evdo. I have been looking for battery hacks because I cant make it half the day on the stock battery. After reading this thread I have come to realize that my signal is the weak link. Can I do this radio update without loosing my cricket service?

Yes it is the 1.03 is the stock TP radio. Here is the radio link, you should try the 1.11 00F radio. That is what I use on my TP and the signal is alot stronger. (REMEMBER TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU FLASH).
