I've got the totally stock VZW Touch Pro:
ROM: 1.03.605.4
Radio: 1.03.03V

The problems I'm having are that my signal strength is really weak where it used to be strong, and the battery dies REALLY fast under moderate usage. Also there is no GPS functionality.

I'm in Buffalo, NY and the signal level is all over the place, and drops out frequently when I'm streaming data/music online, even in areas where my Samsung i760 had solid performance just 2 weeks ago.

I'm not sure what I need, be it a new ROM or just an upgraded radio to get a better signal. Also, GPS functionality would be nice to work with Google Maps.

I'm not looking to be held by the hand on how to do everything, but I would like to know what I should be doing to help correct these problems. If there are any special recommendations, I would much appreciate them.

Note: While I am satisfied with the current ROM (speed-wise), I wouldn't object to something else, as long as it would address some of those problems listed.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
Keep the radio you have.

Upgrade ROM to SSK 1.5 Rev C2.

Treat your battery right and it will last longer. I just posted a wqhole diseration on how to treat these batteries to get the best life. Let me go find it....
