thanks. does anyone know when you update sprint radio latest version does that update pri automatically? or is pri always done manually when you update radios. basically i read earlier that flashing back to stock radio also resets ur pri too. is that true?

For people in the Los Angeles area...

I could not get into the debug mode to get facts and verify the numbers but I had to report the "obvious".

I was using the latest sprint radio 1.12.34F and was getting 2 bars where I'm at. I read this thread and people in my area were getting good results with Verizon's 1.03.09V radio. I flashed this and now I'm getting a full 5 bars. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

If you need consistently strong reception, especially like I do in my signal-depressed pocket of West LA, the VZW 1.03.09 is just unbeatable. Since installing it I haven't missed a single call, VM or text, and I was so frustrated with the problem a few months ago I was almost going to threaten Sprint with cancellation or for an Airave. The few db more signal power it's given me have been awesome. The only drawback is that it'll occasionally drop to 1x instead of Ev, but most of the time it's fine and I'll live with that tradeoff if it means an overall more reliable phone.

I agree as well. The only problem with the VZW 1.03.09 radio is that my battery life is really bad.

Well I was on 1.12.34F for about 2 weeks... really giving it's paces. I am also in LA... living in the Valley and working in Venice. I got a good signal, and the GPS was nearly instant. But I would drop to 1x often, and it would not go back to Ev unless I turned off data and turned it back on. I hated that. Went back to 1.11.00F R and the 1x issue went back to normal. I often listen to internet radio in the car via my TP, and getting a constant signal is important to me. I still drop out nearly every time at the top of the 405 pass, but with the 1.11.00F R I can get the signal back pretty quickly. With 1.12.34F I needed turn off data and turn it back on again... which sucks.
