Ok so I dont know if anyone even reads this thread anymore, but I did some testing and this is Strictly to Sprint owners...No offense to any other carrier but I love Sprint...anyways....I tried the Verizon 2.23 that most Sprint users on here have hyped up, and here is what I experienced. Okay as far as signal sturdiness, I definitely seen some improvements. In places where I would normally get choppy until I went to a decent area in my house where the conversation was tolerable, with this particular radio I was able to hold a conversation ( a whole conversation at that) with exceptional sound quality. Didnt chop once. I even called an listened to my voicemail. Now here was the turn off. After about 7 solid hours of beating my phone up with email, internet, phone as modem, phone calls, and text. I had about 40% battery left. Not sexy at all! I am usually about 70% on the stock radio and one of the best, fastest, and stable ROMs available...MM2/01/2010!!!
So this was a major turn off for me. I switched back to stock. Also I will add that I am testing in the southern region so it might be different somewhere else. So now I am testing the Verizon 1.88.07 version. Really loving it so far. I fully charged it and took it off the charger at about 1 a.m. last night and left it on dim and turn on my wifi and left it on a webpage with a lot of effects. Not sure if that uses more battery or not, but I just wanted to use as much as possible. I was expecting to wake up to a dead phone or even worse the sound of a dead phones alert noise along with the sound of that annoying voice telling me my battery is low, but surprisingly enough I was left with 70% battery, and I woke up at 10:37. So about 9 and a half hours of steady under moderate use and the battery has held up preatty good. I am still testing so will edit post later, but as far as signal sturdiness I would have to say that it was almost as good as the 2.23. I did get one choppy session that lasted about 2 seconds but was able to listen to all of my voicemails whereas in Sprint stock I was not able to even hear to press for my passcode. I havent tested any others but I plan to later. I would really like to know about the telus radio. I was gonna try but didnt, I tried the 1.88.07 and I like it so far. I will see how it goes from here.
