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

[Master01]

From my findings going on a road trip by using both the new sprint radio gives me better data through put on average 250-400kbps more using various and the same cell cites; than the telus radio BUT the telus radio gives me slightly 1-2 bars better signal which gives more battery. I have also found that I get a weird clicking while traveling and stationary with the telus radio vs the sprint radio(1.03.15F) which doesn't have the clicking. Both radios are good but think I am currently sticking with the telus radio due to the better signal. I will retry and see if I can get the clicking to be reproduced (might be tower switching, but never heard it before). I am using juicy 4.4. How's the data on the VZW radio compared to the sprint radio???

Any word on the 1.07 new telus radio?

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.

Yeah, I flashed it with no hard reset, just like the others.
