Sprint didn't get any different boards then telus. they probably came off the same damn line. riddle me this, how come i have ****ty battery life like the sprint users since i flashed the sprint radio?? OH yah for got to mention my diamond gets hot as hell woth this radio too. never used to before.... i didnt know flashing the sprint ridio rom removed my radio head sheild too lol  and as for the poor coverage. i belive sprints polling interval is set to 1. telus was set to 2.
oh yah. i think, but don't quote me on this. a sprint user here already disassembled one of his sprint diamonds.... and guess what. heat shield is there in the pic he took lol.
here is my proof that guy is full of ****. here is the guts of a Sprint diamond. disassembled and posted by TMZ

to me liek sprint didnt leave out the heat shields |
The slot cycle index for Sprint Diamond is 2, so was the Touch I had. The forumla for calculating paging channel time is 2^N x 1.28 (where "N" is the slot cycle index). This puts the time at 5.12 seconds (or 5120ms).
I was curious about where he got the 100ms value. I certainly was not able to find this value in EPST or registry. I latched on to that particular post because, indeed, the Sprint Diamond does terribly in bad coverage areas. Extra polling can potentially explain this.
I didn't buy the heat shield claim because 1) he indicated it was to be installed _behind_ the keyboard, which would do nothing to keep heat from radiating toward the back of the phone, where it gets hot, and 2) I wouldn't think there be enough room anyhow. It is possible that he is telling the truth as he knows it/as he was told.
Are you indicating that, since flashing to Sprint radio, your phone gets measurably WORSE battery life AND more hot when compared to Telus? If so, there is hope for a ROM update. Have you flashed back to Telus to see if the battery lasts longer and phone runs cooler? If so, by how much?
