Radio Concern
 

Hi all,

I upgraded form a Tytn to a Raphael, paid the full price so kept my Tytn which works great as a PPC with a GPS of course. I like it a lot because the radio I got on xda-dev works really great, I get a location within 30 [edit: SECONDS / not minutes] rather than five minutes.

Anyway, at my own surprise, the initial radio firmware on my Telus HTC Pro was GPS-enabled - but it takes around 3-5 minutes to get my location AND for some reason with the Juicy rom my youtube apps loads videos at a miserable speed (fast with the stock firmware).

So now I'm thinking about updating my radio and have a few questions:

1) That must be a stupid one but can I use any CDMA radio or it has to be the Telus one which I naturally assume and limits me to an option only.

2) Any chance this bricks my GPS?

3) Does this affect data as well? Do I have chances of fixing my data problem?

4) How hard is it to dump my own radio first to make sure I can go back to this one if the updated one is simply worst - I haven't seen it anywhere on here.

Thanks in advance - if anyone has a HTC Touch Pro with Telus and did install the radio in this thread (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ighlight=radio) which is 1.04.05 I'd appreciate if you could share your experience. I personally have 1.03 right now.

I looked at the posts in msot threads, I admit I didn't do a very indept research as I lack time, so any help is appreciated.

1) You can use any radio in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ighlight=radio - these are CDMA radios that are compatible with the Touch Pro.

2) Always a chance you could brick your phone / GPS. Not likely if you follow insturctions.

3) Radio upgrades impact all communictions within the device - so yes, data is impacted but I wouldn't expect any particular problem to be resolved as your current TELUS radio is probably the most up-to-date.

4) Short answer - No.

You say that you have 1.03 on your device now. Are you sure of this? The version sent out with TELUS devices was v1.07.02V to my knoweldge - I could be wrong though.

Thanks so much for the info. You are right about the radio - I double checked and it's 1.07.01V. I'll try them all I guess and use the radio that works best for me :)

Thanks so much - I'd still like to hear from Telus HTC TP users if there's anyone.

Also I just want to point out that my pitifull data speed was fixed simply by doing a hard reset which I should have done after flashing in the first place - shame on me :)
