So i have been on the phone for over an hour (same person) and have drained my battery about 50% Big things I have noticed... phone is not hot at all. Warm in the back a little...BUT my phone has unfortunately dropped the call 3 times. Dunno if that is my fault or the other end's fault. I might have to take back my comment about the extra bars.. may be my imagination... dunno.

There's no OS change but it does a hard reset on your phone.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

No it doesn't. Flash from the internal storage so there's no hard reset.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

12 hrs later... I have seen very little signal change in my house. However comma... i listend to 10 minutes worth of mp3 and made a 5 minute call and ordinarilly after that amount of use I would ask for a battery status and get 94%. After Today I got a 100% status report back after the same usage. I am hopeful that this information is correct, however after that kind of usage and my battery staying at 100% I am skeptical. How can I verify that I am indeed getting the right information? I have read many posts where people are talking about their batter usage like they know exactly what is being used. How do I check this?

ive got a radio version 1.04.02V on my Bell Diamond

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

wish i could tell u how to dump it but cmonex my self and others are not done out radio project.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

lol, i want your radio. DUMP IT!!

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

just to clarify:

flashing a radio via RUU will hard reset your device, flashing a radio via internal memory (or SD Card) will not.
flashing an OS ROM will hard reset your device no matter how you flash it.

ok well i have been having some large probs with The Verizon Radio as my phone likes to go black and vib till i reset the phone. in toronto it dosent happen much at all but while i was driving to kingston my phone was going crazy, so i changed the radio to the Sprint touch pro and i am still in kingston and my phone is fine. But before my phone could not be used when it was on the Verizon radio while i am hear in kingston. just thought i would let u all know.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Moral of the story:

Stay out of Kingston! :silent:

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

lol yea so strange, but the sprint touch pro rom is working fine no prob at all. So i'm going to stay with this for a bit and see if i get that issue again

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Any update on the Telus radio? I know it is a work in progress but I would like to hear if it is still being worked on at all!

I appreciate the effort from all working on this!

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

ive used the vzw and sprint pro radios for about a week each and havent observed a noticeable difference. they both seem better than the stock sprint diamond radio in terms of battery life and heat

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Well through some kind of set of circumstances, after flashing the nueROM-S Build 171 yesterday and the build 188 today, my signal with the sprint 1.00.04F dropped down to 1 or zero bars. It was not like this with the Juicy 3.2/3.1/3.0 or the MSR or the Calku. I usually have two to three bars at home. Well today I started missing calls, as they went right into voice mail.

I just flashed back to the 1.03.03V and now have two to three bars again. Strange. I will see if it gets the dark screen and vibration but for sure in my environment the 1.03 is best.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

the bell rom has a newer radio....wouldnt that be of any use?

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I think we need to get a hold of the Sprint Touch Pro shipped radio. So far no one has complained of heating up or battery life, and we have sold all of our pros. Pretty much everyone came back with the Diamond.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Um...

Update: TP heats up, then battery drains, even while on charger

Heat Heat and more Heat

TP Software Issues/Unresolved Issues/Feature Requests

Touch Pro Battery life!!! Post your reviews!!

Any one have a discolored Back on their touch pro

If you search hot* or heat, there are plenty more over at the TP forum. My TP gets hot/warm with use. The battery life is not better than my Diamond.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i was just going to say, the TP section is full of battery and heat complaints.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Daium... Didn't know the Touch PRO was having so many heat problems jejejeje. A coworker of mine has been salivating for the Touch Pro ever since I showed him my Diamond and told him about the Touch PRO's upgrades.

He just got his today and I noticed the Radio's Version is 1.03.15f. I don't know if the heat is related to the radio or not but it seems like its more updated than either of the VZW radios, worth a shot?

I have access every day to his TP and in fact, it will become my baby since he knows jack **** about WinMo phones and I'll be taking care of his. ;)

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I meant as an employee. We have had no returns on the TP

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

The Bell Radio ROM is 1.04.02V. If someone tells me how to dump it to disk I'll UL it for you guys.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

its already been dumped, but im not sure if its useful since it still has heat issues

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

where can i find the bell radio? I would like to test it out

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

so far the Verizon Radio works best. I am on that right now and the phone does get warm but not HOT

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

with the bell radio, the phone DOES NOT get hot when talking on it. But while using it for the net etc. it definetly gets hot, but not uncomfortable hot. =)

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i would love to try the Bell radio anyone know where i can download it?

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

So since Telus now released the Touch Pro can anyone try and see if they did anything to the Radio on that phone ???

Or even the Bell Radio....

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

hmm i have an alltel diamond and the radio is 1.03.13F. know anything about it? phone only seem to get warm on long calls

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I would love to try these radios outs... Can anyone get a hold of these radios...

i am sure the Telus Touch Pro radio is different then the Diamond Radio we all got on our phone... Telus said they have made improvements too the phone that is why it toke so long to get released!

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Has anybody flashed the Verizon radio and had any luck with the GPS? I installed the Verizon radio and now my GPS doesn't work.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Has anyone managed to find a Telus radio rom that we can flash back to? I am still needing one so I can take my phone back in for service. What are the chances they would notice or care about the radio version since its not related to the failure of the device?

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

They may not notice, but if they do, they will definitely care. Changing the radio (or anything non-carrier released) voids your warranty.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

That sucks, I kinda figured that, I just am not too confident that enough people want a telus radio rom for anyone to bother fixing one up. The problem with my phone isnt too serious as of yet anyways. I can probably just deal with it and hope that someone has some spare time to release the radio in a workable condition. :mrgreen:

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I have to exchange my phone as well so if anybody has a stock Telus radio can be flashed it would certainly be appreciated since it's only thing missing to make the phone stock again.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i can send you a telus radio that will brick it ;) but i dont have a working on yet.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Has anyone got their hands on the Alltel Radio. I was wondering if it would work on the Sprint Diamond. I'm going to an Alltel area where my sprint signal is pretty week roaming on alltel.

Re: [UPDATED OCT 31st New Radio] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Nope.
