[SPRINT RADIO Unlocker]Sprint RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks

[shaggylive]

I think the problem is the magic. both radios are on the same chip, so they don't play well together. I'm glad we're finally getting down to the nitty gritty of what makes this phone cool. now to get my hands on one.....

Thanks

no.. btw, doesn't CDMA have simultaneous data+voice at once (I have no idea, I'm not on a CDMA network)? 3G on GSM does (too bad no US 3G) :P

no, it puts your data on hold during a call, then resumes the connection. again, due to only 1 radio.

CDMA doesn't have simultaneous data+voice at once.. it sucks.. sometimes you can't even send a text message out while you are on the phone.... feel me !!

Hi cmonex,any ETA to release the new radio,the current one performed really sluggish and battery drained fast?

I have a question but it's a bit personal:

If I only have my 1 number & don't go outside the U.S. do I need this?! Whats the point of this if you guys don't mind me asking?! Is this gonna make my data faster or give me better reception?! Will it do anything other than allow me to call and receive calls on other networks?!

T.I.A.

Cheers.

The question thats been driving me crazy is whether or not the second radio does any kind of 3g?! Per this CNET review, the TP2 does NOT, naturally, support intl 3g. Contradictorily, PDADb says the second radio supports UMTS2100. Does this radio patch enable such functionality? It would make sense, since I had heard that other carrier's versions of the TP2 did do intl 3g.

Any info would be great as I would like to be able to move abroad and not purchase a new handset. Thanks!

I sim unlocked my handset and flashed the patched radio. My phone shows 3G when I switch to ATT Service. I have not tested the data since I only have a prepaid sim card with a few bucks on it left.

Also from my previous testing, When I switch to GSM mode and connect to AT%T Network, the phone pops up a connection settings wizard, I assume to change the data settings. When I chose ATT and the phone programmed, after switching back to CDMA the internet was not working as before. That's about all the info I can provide.

^when you switch back to cdma you have to manually go to connections and select to use you cdma network for data again

After you installed the patched radio, re-install the carrier cab. That's how I got my internet working again. And now I can switch between CDMA and GSM and not reconfigure my settings again
