Re: Touch Pro - next to no reception in "good" coverage area
Reflash your radio.
I've had some -strange- issues though. Not problems, just weird things happen.
For comparison, my Helio Ocean (which has notoriously HORRIBLE cell reception by the way) got 4/5-5/5 bars of service in my apartment anywhere. My new Touch Pro got 1/7-2/7 if I was lucky in most places. Both operate on Sprint's network.
I reflashed to the Telus radio and started seeing 5/7-6/7 bars anywhere around the apartment, it would occasionally do something like 2/7 momentarily, but it would jump right back up... great! Not only was the Telus radio giving me immensly improved battery life, my service was vastly better as well.
I later decided to try the VZW radio, based on the previous results. 2/7-3/7 bars of service, slightly worse battery life... which I attributed to the service. Looked like the Telus radio was the one for me. I flashed back to it, even using the exact same file I kept stored on my PC. The service was almost identical to the VZW radio - 2/7-3/7 bars of service instead of what I had before.
Tried the Sprint radio, tried the VZW one again, back to Telus again... all kept giving me the same 2 bars of service. One random flash to the Telus radio has given me full service everywhere in my apartment again and I'm keeping it... I don't think there's anything that is going to get me to flash this radio off.
So, go to the upgrades section of the forum, find the radio thread... and give the Telus or VZW radios a shot. The sprint one really sucks.
Also, complain to sprint and see if they can get you an Airave.
