batt life really sucked with the stock sprint radio, i flashed the telus radio with no problems, no hard resetting, etc etc and imma see how this goes as far as signal/batt life/call quality goes.

gps still locks in at 3-4 seconds 10+ sats which is quite amazing.

Just flashed to Telus Rom (I'm on Sprint) and first day battery life seems a bit worse.. but we'll see how it goes

Flashed to Telus on a Sprint as well, but I have noticed that I cannot receive text messages while in EVDO only mode. I didn't notice this before, but I never had good enough service with EVDO to keep it on all the time, but now I do, is this normal?

As far as I know, And I'm sure it'll be corrected if im wrong, Text messages only get sent in 1x mode?

I read the same thing somewhere too, but I had no problems sending them, only receiving them. If I made a phone call OR switched back to 1x mode, I got all my "queued" texts.

txt messages are alwayes sent in 1x as text messages use the radio of the phone just like making a call. Only media messages use evdo if its available and those use the data connection.

When I had the telus radio, I could accept texts without a problem. I'm also on Sprint.

Hey everyone,

As a newbie to flashing ROMs onto my Telus Diamond, I just want to say thanks to everyone posting who enabled me to learn to do all this. I just wanted to ask a few quick questions before i install the new telus radio (i.e. Telus Radio V1.04.05V), as I'm seeing that a lot of people agree that it has benefitted their phone greatly in many ways.

1. I have a custom rom installed already (Juicy 4.2) and I put all of my backed-up files and programs back onto my phone. Now, i've seen people saying that by installing the telus rom, i won't lose my installed data cause it does only a soft reset? I just wanted to validate this point and confirm this is true so that I know I don't have to re-install everything I have on my phone.

2. This question could pose to be an unintelligent question, as the answer might be obvious. Before flashing a new radio onto my phone, do i need to redo the unlocking procedure? Or do i just run RUU and place the radio file in the folder as I did when i installed my ROM?

Thanks again everyone!!
