I get all of the above.

i just flashed to verzion from the telus radio. my thoughts are on telus the battery last longer, doesnt get as hot. but i had data time out issues, and eratic signal going from 1 to 5 bars in the same spot. gps worked good. i noticed the same on my touch pro as well.

I just reflashed back with the vzw raido and it worked fine. I also was having serious heat issues right before going back. And the batt life not being as good. I think the heat issue really isnt radio or rom related I think its where your service quality is. I noticed at 1 bar talking on the phone would be so hot if i pressed the d pad against my face it was too hot to handel it. With the vzw rom i just went back too i did the same thing sat in my server room crouched behind the rack with all my servers in it I had one bar. Sat and called somone and it got hot as well.

I called htc and they did confirm that when the signal drops below 2 bars the phone will increase the signal as much as possible. this is why batt life suffers and the phone gets hot. Now if you read all the posts regarding batt issues and heat issues thousands of people are having mixed results. Which would clearly indicate that phones are pretty random which would mean some peoples phones are increasing the signal and other arent. This would explain the many reason people are having mixed results.

I also noticed when the phone is hot it has some auto feature where it disables the charging of the phone until it cools down.

as do I. Huge improvements.

I've got a friend who has a Diamond as well, completely stock (first ROM and Radio release). We've tested side by side with the exact same settings and mine gets at least 12 hours more time just sitting there on standby with pushmail and one regular mail account checking every 2 hours.


He'll be moving over to a custom ROM soon or Trading it in. He's still deciding whether he likes it or not...

but anyway, yeah.. I just don't get how mixed the reports are, especially with Telus users...

I agree that the new telus radio is better than the stock diamond radios. I have found that I am getting about the same performance with the Sprint TP variety and the new Telus radio. Occasionally I have found the Telus version to take a little more time to bring up web sites (takes longer to connect in my case) but I think it depends on so many factors. Overall the Telus was great especially with heat issues and extended battery life.

now I have a question what seems to be mostly Americans doing this update.. anyone from lets say Vancouver BC have any input on the new radio.. as I am on telus in vancouver and seem to get good signal but inside my work I get almost Nothing.. wondering if its worth doing it? thanks!!

Warrning: After flashing a radio it will preform a RTN, this is a hard reset that the radio initiates. BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING A RADIO ROM. I take no responsibility for lost or corrupted data.

Remember: I am not responsible for bricked devices. Your phone, your risk, your problem if something goes wrong. be sure to back up your MIP settings such as aaa/an auth key and such.

their is a possibility that you may have to set up data again.

Lucky its recoverable if data stops working. BUT its a pain in the arse. so. ALWAYS, flash at your own risk. and back up your MIP Profile data


Thanks to No2Chem for lending me a hand.

Darn I want the Telus radio bad, but I am having a problem...

When I use the flasher it goes through all the screens and restarts my phone... I get the progress bar on my computer and my phone, but then it hangs at 0% and eventually tells me that it cannot communicate with the phone...

Any Ideas?

Do you have any Actice Sync connection?

[O'Neil Mitchell]

Has anyone tried flashing the Radio for the Internal?

[ilkevinli]

Thats because your phone is not unlocked.
