having flashed the new telus rom, am i free to change up my roms without losing or compromising the new radio?

yes. the radio will stay the same unless you flash back to a shipped rom.

shipped rom can eat it

well, i took the plunge and it was no problem at all!!! Telus radio v1.04.05v
can't wait to get home from work to see how the signal is.
thanks!

did the telus rom upgrade. very easy, no data loss and call quality is definitely improved. way less echo.

I also flashed the TELUS Radio. No problems on a SPRINT DIAMOND for me either. Tried it because my phone is constantly hot, I live right on the edge of EDVO range, don't even have one bar with the stock sprint radio. I get 2 with the TELUS radio, not sure if this will solve any problems for me or not but thought it was definately worth the try... I'll report back when I have used it a bit to see if there is a noticable improvement for me or not.

Also I might add that it did NOT hard reset my phone after the upgrade. Not sure if this is good or bad but my phone just took the flash like any old ROM flash, rebooted and started working, everything in tact.

Thanks for the Radio!

I read this site and it made me feel a lot safer about doing it. Check it out for a little further understanding about flashing this.

1.07.01 Telus Radio is on some of the people's TP. wonder if someone smarter than me can guide them on extracting it out of their phones.
Waiting for a new toy.
It seems that Juicy is running it on his phone, but I don't think we will see any more releases from him.

I wonder what the difference is with this radio that's on the Pro? It's my understanding that they're basically the same phone at the chip level (?).

After using the VZW radio for about 2 weeks I tried the Telus. Been using the Telus V1.04.05V radio for a little over a week. Results are a bit more consistent this time around compared to the first time I tried it out which was during the holiday (usage/location wasn't as consistent). This isn't scientific by any means. Just a mere comparison of the radios according to my usage.

Compared to Stock Sprint:
-better battery life (up ~25%)
-significantly decreased heat (I tethered, streamed music/video heavily and the device only feels warm, not quite "hot")
-slightly increased signal (an extra bar or 2 in various places in the 35 mile radius I live, work, school)

Compared to VZW:
-5-10% more battery than VZW
-larger heat decrease than VZW radio
-VZW signal is on par with the Sprint most of the time. Slightly better on occasion.

Data speeds are pretty much the same on all radios. I tested in multiple places and dozens of times one after the other and on several different days. It didn't seem to vary much at all. This was also the same result with GPS usage. The Telus radio is definitely better all around for me.
