[AUG 4] *12 Radios Available* Updated Touch Pro CDMA Radio Archive Thread - Page 14

I switched to the latest Verizon radio after running the latest Sprint radio. I am located in DC/MD and I have to tell you it's a superb radio. Coming in and out of the Metro (subway) tunnels it re-acquires the EV signal extremely fast from the 1x. I am running Energy ROM Standard, and I am not seeing the constant issues with Titanium weather errors, along with the the large dialog box that states the modem was not answered with the "Dismiss" button. GPS satellite location is solid. Internet speeds are pretty much the same. I not too sure about the battery yet. I'll report back on that after a couple days of use.

I think you may be pleased with the battery life too. Anecdotally mine is better (even after switching regular email downloads back on) and when doing the YouTube torture tests it seems to be running noticeably cooler.

I'm almost reluctant to experiment with the Alltel.

the date doesn't really matter, i don't think. every one has a different result depending on where you live. the stock radio may be better for someone than the latest one and vice versa

I just had a brief "run in" with the latest Alltel radio. Yikes. I couldn't get the Verizon 1.03.09 back on my phone fast enough. Signal levels all over the place (but mostly down), data down the drain, etc. Different radios are better for different people but I'll be sticking with this one for a LONG time. It's given my TP a new lease on life.

I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Verizon! Why can't Sprint program their radios this well?

I've been doing some real-world testing with the 1.12.31F radio on a relatively stock Sprint ROM (just power saving tweaks, timerwheelsize, and GPSMode = 4, 1.53_003 PRI), and I've med these observations:

Signal power for 1x varies from about -78 to -98 and for HDR about -70 (1/2 mile line-of-sight to tower) to -96. Signal bars jump around frequently from 5 bars to 1 or 0. Slot Cycle Index is at 1.

As for GPS, it is a little slow on the lock, but I am partially attributing this to the stock Sprint ROM. Newer HTC GPS drivers are probably better. Although, at one point, I had 11 satellites in use and nine locked. GPSMode 4 IS NOT broken on this radio opposed to what a previous poster said.

Heat on this radio is the best part. The phone doesn't get hot...ever.

Where can I get the Telus rilphone.dll so I can make sure my current one is right.
I am getting crazy battery drainage on my new rom.
