I have been on the Verizon radio for about 2 hours and things are good. I reception at my desk and that is unheard of! Battery life is clearly better. I will try to get some metrics together soon.

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

man, anything will probably be better then the current battery life. that is by far my biggest complaint about this phone.

i'll be doing this tonight since Sprint is sending me a replacement anyways because of one of my defective d-pad (right does not work at all)

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

Ok - So, I'm truely new to all this crap.

Roms, Radios.....ahhh!

I understand how to upgrade ROM and Radios........ i've read this thread and heard a lot of people talking about backing up your MIP?

Juggalo, you said a few things in post 1 about it, but it might as well have been in Chinese....... Any help with making me understand this would be greatly appreciated.


OH - and....will upgrading the Radio to the Verizon one change the ROM too?...or, is does flashing one or the other have nothing to do with eachother?

Thanks!

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

Mip settings can be obtained via epst (##778 ) then choose view then choose menu > MIP Default Profile

write them down just o be safe.

flashing the radio will not affect your rom (flash to another rom) BUT it will do a hard reset so back up your stuff first.

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

omg full bars at my house??????????? u rock juggalo!!!!!! \m/

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

This radio is so much better then sprint's its ridiculous. I mean you don't even have to run benchmarks, you can tell by how less hot it feels after using EVDO for a while. Less heat = less drain and weak/tear on the battery. Finally the battery problem may be fixed for sprint phones.
Thanks for the radio leak!

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

im glad you guys are enjoying this radio as much as i am. it was a god send after making the MISTAKE of flashing sprints radio.

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

Awesome - thank you.

When I do the ##778# - then VIEW - I get this "Display" page.

The bottom menu says "VIEW INFO, or CANCEL"

View Info options are: DISPLAY, NAM SETTINGS, CDMA SETTINGS, HOME SID/HOME NID, MODEM SETTINGS, PRL, DATA PARAMETERS, PHONE DIRECTORY, NV with NAM01, NAM Settings-NAM01, HSDNID_NAM01..

nothing about MIP Default Profile

](*,)

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

k same proses but choose edit not view. MIP Default Profile will be there then. you will need your SPC to get into the edit menu. i forgot view didn't have the option

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

Awesome - got it.

how easy is it to imput this data back in if it ends up getting erased? Is it just the same process "##778#, edit, then "edit" each value back into the item listed?

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

yes that's how i do it, if needed. u dont ever have to. its just a precaution incase it messes up ur profile

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

awesome, thanks man!



you are da man - yes sir.

worked like a charm!

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

No2chem helped out too in getting these roms prepped for flashing via ruu

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

well then an equal amount of praise and thanks to him too!

:headbang:

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

3 bars here at home, usually have 1-2... 3 on occasion. haven't really had time to report back on battery usage, i'll let you guys know what i find but i'm sure it can't be bad.

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

Is there any way to flash this radio without doing the RTN? I remember radio ROMs for the mogul not wiping anything.

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

not that i know of maybe some one els knows a work around.

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

Does this force you onto Verizon's towers by default (Home network) ?

If so.. ouch.. If not.. :-D

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

If im not mistaken, it's not the radio that directs you to the towers, it's the PRL update in your phone.

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

no it wont, thats PRL

yep :)

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

Quick Jedi Learner I be...

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

BTW, Juggalo..

I'm getting 259mah on active data connection (while browsing)

good?..bad?.. I'm pretty sure my previous numbers were around 350 or something...

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

thats good. much better then sprint, and i think it was even better then my telus radio.

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

Oh man... It froze for what seemed like an eternity at the 99% mark. I almost crapped my pants in fear of bricking my phone. Just finished updating gonna benchmark it in my area. Sprint PCS in Puerto Rico. I used to get 2 bars of signal in my room as I am right now and about 550ma load during a call or data download.

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

Works so much better all around Thanks alot!

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

update: just completed a 23 minute call and it started to get hot around 15-16 minutes. Not bad considering on the sprint radio it was super hot after 4-5 minutes. I'll take that.

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

would anyone happen to have a link to either HTC's battery tool and/or the network test tool? did a search and didn't seem to come up w/anything

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

thnaks for reporting back.

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

if you're using juicys rom, it's in the WINDOWS folder "BATTERY MONITOR"....

go to www.dslreports.com/mspeed to test your connection...

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

sweet, thanks man.

Verizon Results: v1.03.03V
Current draw is between 75-94mAh @ idle...
Current draw is between 332-391mAh during a call...
Current draw is between 314-332mAh during a call on speakerphone...
(screen on obviously)

dropped back to 75 a few seconds after ending the call, and the phone had not warmed up as much as it had been on the previous radio. so far, SOOOO GOOOD!

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

Verizon radio much better on the battery!
Speed and Signal for me is the same as the sprint radio witch is good because it is much better than the Telus Radio...

So i am staying with Verizon... thanks Juggalo

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

ok, i really wanna try this out but using the thread to get my SPC didn't work and am nervous to do this without being able to back up my MIP info.:???:

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

u can get your spc with cdma workshop.... the getspc method does not work for the sprint diamond

use cdma workshop and do a scan on addresses 018E:0190. Your spc is here.

as far as MIP... it didn't do anything to mine. Of course I am using a custom cricket rom.

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

u dont need to modify mip its called cover your butt, its a just in case measure. :)

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

I've getting much better results as well!! :D

About 300-360mah draw during a call or download,
1 extra bar of signal at my house for now (haven't tested anywhere else), talked on the phone for a while and it didn't get hot, connecting and ending calls seems to be a little quicker, same with data connection dial-up.

Gonna see how it goes tomorrow when I hammer on my phone all day like I normally do. I usually HAVE to carry my wall charger and keep the charge cable nearby my laptop all day in the office just in case, I normally hit 50% by lunch time.

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

ya I got u..... never hurts and doesnt take long anyway.

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

no and if u need them u will be happy u got them or u'll be like :violent2:

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

Hey guys,
I just flashed the VZW radio and I am actually getting only 3 bars instead of 4. Haven't moved an inch though. Not a big deal, will have to see on the battery life. I am with Sprint.

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

just flashed no problem. it amazing the knot i get in my stomach waiting for the update to go through. this is my first windows mobile experience and thank god i may not have made it out of college if i was worried about updating my phone everynight. thanks to all the chefs out there and senior users!!!

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

Just flashed any my device only starts to get the slightest bit warm after 15 minutes of slinging media! It was on EVDO with 1-2 bars, and quality wasn't an issue, thanks all who spent the time to get this radio out here!
