Workarounds/known issues 7/22: Updated for FRX07

[Sc/ant864]

I'm having an issue with signal at work. When I was running frx06 my signal meter would show 2 bars at the machine I operate, now in frx07 I'm lucky to get one. When outside I get more bars but almost never full, I read an old thread that suggested flashing another radio but I would rather avoid this if possible. Also when connecting to my email it fails to connect sometimes and I must manually refresh, is that normal?

What radio are you on?

If you're on 2.32, you probably don't need to update. If you're on an older radio, you have to.

FRX07 now reports signal strength properly. Before it wasn't so accurate, now it's much more accurate.

Also remember that 1xRTT and EVDO are different strength readings.

Thanks for the quick reply Arrrghhh, yes I'm using 2.32 so I guess that's good, and you're right I did notice a huge difference with indication between EV and 1x but I almost never went into 1x with frx06 now it forces back and forth all day. Streaming YT has been slowed to a crawl and for some reason I still get data with no bars at all. I did read in another thread it can help to establish a good signal before booting into HaRET is that still the case with this build?

Shouldn't matter. You can try updating the RIL...

Is the most current RIL still the one in post 6? (even newer than what's in FRX07)

Yes, it is.
