[April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Here is the new radio ported from the US Cellular Touch Pro. Post your opinions and comparisons on the radio. Maybe this radio also will make its way to the stickied thread, if Juggalo thinks everything looks good.

hehe we all had one of those days. but thanks for your hard work

Re: Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

ill try this. even thought the radio im using is awsome

Re: Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Ditto. I like the Telus radio I'm on. But I don't mind trying new things.
[Especially if they say "MightyROM" on them.]

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

One question though (and it doesn't really matter, as I just flashed anyway, but others might want to know), since this is flashing just the radio, does it also install a new PRL?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

I dont think it does Trident.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

nope.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

so far so good. I noticed I went from 3 bars to 1 on average but the data is still fast, in fact maybe faster than the telus but still testing. I love the Telus radio, just one thing I notice at times is it takes a while to warm up if that makes sense. If you run a speed test, it will do poorly on the first or second try, but afterwards it peaks out about the same as the sprint radio 1.11.00f. But the telus radio will often show more bars than the sprint radio.

Now this new radio 1.07 is moving pretty quick from the get go. and I just got one test that was about as fast as I have ever got in my house. 1055kbs. (with a one bar on the screen) So I am wondering if the the bars are not that important?

Great job ajm144K!! you should post it in the radio thread or pm Juggalo to have him include it on the radio sticky:)

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

bars are absolutely irrelevant

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

thats what I'm learning. wonder why? I going to keep this one for a couple days based off the iniitial data speed test. Of course it could just be luck..

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

what do they refer to then?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Does this work with a sprint touch pro? Is the battery life any better with this radio?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

No this one is packaged for the diamond. You can find this radio packaged for the tpro here:

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

regarding battery life, i dont think anyone with a diamond can really comment on that yet since we've only had this radio for a couple hours. we'll know soon.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Is this really possible?
Oh. Wait. I think I know what happened.
......

OK. That's more realistic... I was still synced and it must have connected through my PC. The second one is the second test after I disconnected from the USB port. The 1st was horrible- showed something like 32KB/s. Must have still been initiating the connection.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

well I just got 1.18mbs so not as good....
did it like 5 or 6 times. results ranging from 877 to 1.18. Not too shabby but about the same as the sprint and telus, just more consistent than the telus for me.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

let us know how the battery life is once you guys have had it for a little. that is the biggest thing for me that I care about! :-)

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

sure, will post back in a day or so unless this radio goes south on me!

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

You get 1.18MB/s using EVDO?

I thought it maxed out around 1MB/s? No?

Is that where you got your quote from? If so, they are talking about upload. In theory, download speed to 3.1 Mbps and peak upload speed to 1.8 Mbps.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

im on EVDO where im at also, i put my speedtest results in the first post. i think it was right about the same- a little over 1 mb/s download

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

yes. I noticed this site shows faster data speeds than dlsreports. but even on dlsreports, I got 1055 once about an hour ago. at work I get up to 1600 at times.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

ok. for some reason, i was not receiving any pics, and my data was terrible. i flashed right back to the telus, and i received everything i sent....maybe just a crazy moment, but ill stick with telus for now.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

wel if your data connection is having a prob, your mms will to. not necessarily vice versa though.

but for what its worth, my data and mms -send n receive- have worked for me so far

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

So true. They are nice for a quick, visual reference, but you can get superior quality from the same bars.

Thanks for posting this, AJM. I'm gonna check it out now.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

im going to flash it again. and try some more testing. maybe it was just a fluke that it was happening.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Initial results seem about the same as the most recent 1.11.00F radio I have been using. Data results are a little scattered, at a glance. I'll report back in a couple days when I can give a decent report.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

well i can understand why the mms isnt working, the site is down. funny that my GF's Muziq will tell me that, but my PPC wont.....:/

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

its like your custom battery bars... some have 2 notches when there is 30 percent left, and some say low battery when there is 40

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

Having too many drops in EV to 1x. Going back to Telus.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

agreed. i am in 1x alot at work, and i was not getting txts, pics, calls today, i switched back midway through the day and stuff just started coming in

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

i havent dropped into 1x. dont think i used to that often on my last radio either, the telus one. signal seems to be the same as the telus, but its a good signal. but i think the battery life may be better- havent done any serious tests or anything, it just seems to last longer after being on the internet for a while this morning. im about positive that its at least not worse than the telus.

other opinions?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

my first full day with this radio has been fine overall. No noticeable difference for me on the battery end. data has been as good or better than telus. But the telus is very good as well. strange thing is this radio bounces around alot with bars, somewhat similiar to the sprint 1.11.00f radio. I wonder if people are switching to 1x mode more often due to fact that the bars are noticeably less on this radio. I know bars are somewhat irrelevant/inaccurate but that makes me wonder if the device is switching over thinking that the ev signal is too weak?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

hey guys wondering, i was running the sprint rom at first had problems then flashed to the verizon radio and been pretty good so far. Going to try this one right now. Question is, here is new england it's said that Verizon gets one of the best receptions around. Would keeping the verizon radio maybe get better reception when i roam on their towers?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

I flashed this this morning from Telus... This was less than 8 hours ago and my battery has sunk to 47% already because of the poor signal. I live in North Central Illinois.

Everytime I take it out of my pocket, it's warm. (warmer than normal) and I haven't used it ONCE today, I've received 2 text messages all day, no internet browsing, no data connection, no phone calls, no outbound messages...

Needless to say.. I'm going back to Telus.

Just my experience.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

had the verizon radio...flashed to this radio and was once again experiencing delayed text messages just like with almost all the sprint radios..flashing to the telus rom since everyone seems it works the best.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

I'm getting some pretty decent results with the 1.07.06F radio.

Data speeds are quite good. Jury is still out on the battery life, but it's looking pretty good.

Looks like this is gonna be an upgrade for me. Thanks again ajm.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

i'd have to say, for me, this radio performs data speed- / signal-wise about the same as the telus radio. maybe a better -or at least more consistent- signal for me, sometimes. but something about it has improved my battery life (maybe the more consistent signal??) but, as with all radios, it looks like this one's performance depends on where you actually are located.

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

What is the best one to use for Sprint users?

Re: [April '09] New Radio V1.07.06F - Port from TP
 

no way to really determine that... with radios it seems that your location matters more than your carrier. this thread has a list of what radios have been working well in 51 different cities, but it hasnt been updated since this new us cellular radio came out.
