These radios also probably play with amplification and signal strength, which can affect battery life if they are cranked up by the engineers who write the radios.

I'm not an RF engineer... but this is my best understanding of the radios.
Thanks for this explanation. I've been asking for this for quite a while and no one seems to really understand what these new radios do.

So the performance increase you may see is in call clarity and potentially data transfer rates? If i'm reading you correct...

Re: [UPDATE 01-08-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS

It would be helpful if you put the dates of release on the radios. For example, the Sprint ones have the lower numbered radio as the 6.5 test radio. Does that mean it's newer or did they release a non "6.5 test" that is newer?

+1.

I haven't tried re-flashing it after initially fixing it by flashing back to the stock radio.

Re: [UPDATE 01-08-10] Rhodium_W Radio ROMS

I just flashed the VZW 2.23 radio to my Sprint TP2 and it works awesome! I've noticed a difference in responsiveness and speed. Will post later on how this does on battery life. Previously using MightyROM's latest TP2 releases with Stock Sprint 1.96 Radio, I had got pretty good battery life.
