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

[oAsIz]

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.

I needed to upgrade to juicy's 3.0 anyway. so it does look like i gained a bar... sitting at my desk i almost always have 1 bar... 1 bar or none... 10 minutes after the flash i fumble between 1 and 2. the real test for me is the battery drain with my new radio. will post results... lol

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

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

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?

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.
