Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Does the device have to be unlocked (I'm guessing yes) for this to work?

Edit: Nevermind it does :)

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Yes lol

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

How's the reception on the VZW radio, is it better or worse then the Sprint Radio?

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Sweet, flashing it now. Hopefully the battery will last a LITTLE longer now.

It's completely safe to flash back to the original radio, should we need to, right?

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

yes, but read the disclaimers in the first post. cuz im not one to listen to people cry about messing things up. i don't spoon feed i don't have the time or the ambition.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I am testing the new radio as we speak. I flashed the 1.03 radio and now am flashing Juicy 2.5 on top of it. Then I'll install a battery meter. Obviously my results won't be anything scientific because I did not track battery usage from before I flashed for something to compare to but I do know that most of the time my usage was 400-500 mA draw when idle and the screen was on 70% backlight.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Understandable. I just meant as far as (like with the Touch) you couldn't downgrade radios (but that was more from a gps to a non gps radio or what not). These are both the same in that regard to where we *could* flash back.

i also went from stock sprint radio to stock vzw radio--- so far no problems. the flashing was fast and easy-- reception is the same -- i'll post later on battery information.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I'm in as soon as 2.6 from Juicy is done...

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I just jumped in and install the Verizon radio rom. I will report how it goes for me.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I'm jumping in too. Anything is better than sprint's current radio. as long as it doesn't damage anything or cause me charges on my sprint account!!

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

ok thanks for the mirrors!!! installed the vzw radio rom and yes its a radio rom...it hard reset my device but didnt monkey around with anything else...prl was the same...only hiccup was with sprint tv got a vid error but that resolved itself with a soft reset...so far so good...signal in my house is the same...gps locks the same...evdo is the same...ill know more about the battery in the morning when it dies will report findings as they come!

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

post results guys :) and thanks i will update first post with mirrors kevan

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I now get a consistent 5 bars at work and home its between 4 and 5 bars...FAR BETTER then the Sprint radio....Thanks!

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

no probloem. i thought this radio was better too signal wise... but i doubt my self on the signal quality i always psych my self out lol

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

flashed perfect for me, no real changes known yet.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

can u do a simple sprite backup and restore once you flash the radio sincei t hard resets? its been a while since i flashed a radio i dont think it touches the phone ROM though, just the radio portion so it should be ok to restore a backup.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

yes since its just the radio and not os rom it will work fine.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Juicy, if this thing works, do you plan to put it in 2.6 ROM? Thanks!!

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

thanks.. this radio definitely boosted my signal.. now i get full bars where as before i was only getting 1-2.. i am happy with it so far, but i just flashed it so i will post more results later! thanks again

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

to those who have done the radio switch:

Juggalo_X posted that he suggests to backup some stuff (first post). What backup tool is used to do this? I have Sprite but didn't see any options for these items.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I think it would be silly to put it in the 2.6 ROM. That forces a radio update on users who may or may not want one. Plus flashing a radio everytime you install the ROM? I am sure many would not be too fond of the risk factor involved in that.

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

the radio update will never be forced upon users. i can assure you

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

quick update. i am def getting a better signal in ceratin places of my office. Did not used to get any bars by the elevators - now 2-3 bars. Not sure if this is a placebo effect but an indicator that it is a better radio?

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I know. I'm sure Juicy wouldn't do that and you as well. I was just explaining my thoughts. :headbang:

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

see lol that's what i always wonder my self

but you're the second user to say this. as well as i can verify im getting more bars in areas that had low signal.

?can you hear me now?" "good"

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i wouldnt wanna listen to 87686587 users horror stories about bricking and radio issues because they got surprised attacked lol

Re: [UPDATED Bench Marked Results post 75 ] Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

flashed w/o an issue, dropped juicy2.5 ontop of it and i'm loading my programs back on now...

3 bars here at work when i used to usually have 1-2... i'll report back
