I don't use Altel, but is there a stock Altel ROM around here?

I know the stock Sprint ROM updates the radio as well as the rom.

Only the "shipped" rom versions have the radio built in. So far, the only shipped roms available are telus and sprint. You can get a stock rom dump of all the carriers, but that's without the radio. All the shipped and stock rom dumps for the diamond are in the sticky in the first post here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

Ahh, I did not know that.....
I just knew my Sprint ROM had the radio!

Thanks for the education!

Used Sprint 1.11.00F since I had the phone. Didn't notice anything special about it. It did get particularly hot.

Went to Verizon's radio and did not notice much of a difference. Maybe better signal, but it was inconsistent. Was also MUCH hotter when using apps like Youtube.

Now on the Telus radio and as far as signal goes, I'm getting a steady one. Stays a lot cooler for me as well.

So I flashed to the newest 1.11.00F, and I have 0-1 bars where I used to have 3-4 bars. Is this power saving? Won't my battery die quicker as the phone will now be constantly searching for a better signal?

The "bars displayed" is no real indication of service. I have had clear, un dropped calls with 0 bars, where as, I have dropped called with full bars.

Just try the radio, and see if it performs well.

I'm on the Sprint network and just reverted from the Sprint 1.11.00F back to the Telus 1.04.05V radio. My reason is that back when I first got my phone, I had weird issues with the battery where sometimes I'd wake up in the morning with my battery completely dead even though I'd charged it the night before. The same thing happened with version 1.11.00F. Also, it seemed as if the battery was getting much hotter than on the Telus radio. The Telus radio has worked out best for me.

Anyone having issues sending txt messages or web browsing with the telus radio?

I'm running the Telus 1.04.05V radio on my Sprint Diamond and I don't have any problems with text messages or web browsing.
