SCOTT - I saw you mention that you had gone back to the verizon stock radio, that you were getting faster GPS locks with it. I decided to try some back to back tests and consistently found exactly as you claimed... I get GPS locks WAY faster on the Verizon 1.03 or whatever version, I always forget but the stock radio.

I went from getting 4-7 locks in about 30 seconds, to getting 6-10 locks in about 12 seconds! I switched back and forth a couple times and it was very consistent for both. Meanwhile, my signal strength stayed the same, and Bob has already shown battery life is the same.

I encourage everyone on the Sprint radio to do some testing with GPS tool and see if you dont get the same results!

Also, I did try 21015 for most of the day, and honestly I didnt see any speed increase vs. 20954 (20954 has so far been easily the fastest build I've tried, and I've tried all of the 6.1 builds that Scott has made available in his kitchens).

I still feel that 20954 and 20931 are the two best builds, they each have things they do better, but are very close overall. I went back to 20954, didnt feel like spending the time setting up another rom and have good, fully set up backups for 931 and 954.

so far so good. flashed the b2b rom, and got it just the way i like it. need a couple of days before i can say how much faster it is, any pitfalls, etc. i flashed from ssk 1.2 standard, and it seems almost just as fast but maybe its cuz i was spoiled with these great roms.

will post as days continues. thanks again scott!

EDIT : one thing i have noticed is that the boot time is much faster now. very nice!

To calibrate screen

Slide keyboard open.
Stat icon
ARROW DOWN to settings
Navigate and calibrate screen from there. Easy to do.

That auto script didn't stick. Removing my SD card solved the problem. It has not happened on your previous kitchens, how can I prevent it from happening again. I was successful at flashing C2 with the 015 OS. After the flashing was done, I put the SD card back in and everything worked fine.

Love reading your posts, bast!
Always very informative and very nicely done! Thank you for the great info!

I do wanna toss my 2¢ in on the radio thing.
I am one that believes that results will vary based on where your geographical location is.

Personally i find the same GPS sat locking results you get on the ZVW radio, with the sprint radio... 9-12 sats, always in less 15 seconds. I feel like i get slightly better reception as well (but i live in an area that is more rural than not, so not a ton of towers around here). and of course you are correct, bob pretty much definitively settled the battery question for us.

My advice on radios would be try them out, see which one works best for you in your area!

PS... i'm leaning towards the same opinion about OS's... think i'll ultimately end up back on 20931.

I dont know about that... i like having all the past info and knowledge gained at the ready! I hate having to try to find it once it goes to archive!! hate hate hate it!

But what might be helpful, and i have seen done in tsowens "custom taskbar" thread... the mods can go in and trim the thread down... basically, selective archiving. weed out the non informational, non essential posts in the thread.

That way you still retain your view count (if that matters), but more importantly, the great wealth of info i this thread!

EDIT: Scott, i'm not really sure how that process works... but if you are interested in it and it turns out that you have to personnel go through the thread, and give a list to the mods of the post numbers you want archived... I just wanna say that i would volunteer to do the leg work of that for you if you want.

Possible bug confirmation in 21015...

Someone confirm this bug.

1. Text someone by using the HW Keyboard,
2. Let the TP go off by timing out. My power settings does this in 1 min
3. Try unlocking or waking it up after it is off...

I get stuck, and am forced to reset... I am using pocket shield as well, this maybe causing the problem... tho i am uncertain at this point.

No problem with that here!

I am only having 1 problem with 015, and it may be my Sprite Backup I restored. I restored a 931 rev b backup, and what it is doing is when I recieve a call, or text there is no contact ID givin, it only displays the phone number like its not a contact on my phone. What do u guys think?

(All my contacts show up as Unknown Caller on incomming call/text)
