[Jan 15th New Sprint Radio V1.11.00F] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Thread

[JoeTreaf]

I have been running the Telus V1.04.05V radio for about 1 month and I love it. It is MUCH better than the stock Sprint radio 1.00. Tonight I decided to try the new Sprint radio v1.11.00F.

After 20 minutes, my initial reaction is that it runs a few degrees warmer. Also, I do notice that the Telus radio seems to be more stable. It seems to display the same number of bars all of the time if I leave it stationary on my desk. However, in the exact same spot on my desk, the Sprint radio fluctuates down 1 to 2 bars, then up 1 to 2 bars. When it's up, it's higher than the Telus radio and when it's down 2 bars it's lower. I guess that means on average the Sprint radio is about the same but it's more sensitive to signal strength changes than the Telus radio.

I will post an update in about a week. I'm in the San Fernando Valley just North of downtown Los Angeles, CA.

UPDATE:
Second full day using Sprint 1.11.00F: It appears that when using PUSH email all day, the Sprint radio uses slightly less power. I had more battery left after the exact same time period. [I will post exact times and battery levels at the end of my first week of testing]. HOWEVER, I did use the phone to make 1 hour worth of calls while plugged into an outlet and WOW did it get warm. I have been using the Telus radio for some time and I forgot how hot this phone could get. This alone may push me back to the Telus radio as this heat is not good for the long-term life of the phone. The circuit board will expand and contract more with this excessive heat causing it to fail eventually.

Quick question. I live in NY about an hour north of NYC. In my area it appears that Verizon has the best coverage. If this is the case should I install the verizon radio? Or will it not make a difference. Also, does anyone know how the verzion radio is?

you can try other radios and see which one performs the best. Just need to make sure you follow the directions on installation. Also, this thread gives some information on which radios are performing the best in various cities:

what have you tried?

have you following the directions in this

thread:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

you need to unlock your phone, which means you need to install active sync (if xp) or MWMDC (if vista), install .net 3.5 on your pc as noted in the thread. Just follow the steps one by one to make sure you dont brick your phone. flashing a radio rom is the same as flashing a custom rom but you need to do it exactly as tobey's instructions are written.
