Upgrade to Radio 1.41

[Phreddo]

Dunno if this has been asked, but has anyone lost roaming data with this upgrade?
I noticed i was recently getting a lot of 1013 cannot data roam errors recently. However, I also noticed on my new refurb that the PRI (not PRL) was out of date. Oddlyl enough, a hard reset fixed that. so far the data roaming seems better, but now i'm wondering...

Guess I am like several others - Can't ge the upgrade to "take." Put the phone in Bootloader, plug it into the cradle and I immediately get a XP window "found new hardware." I dismiss this, continue with the upgrade, "gathering device data" then the window comes up that states "current Rom....New Rom..." this window contains no data. I click the upgrade button, then after a few seconds I get the Error 150 Window.
Have tried immediately going through the upgrade again and get the same error messages. Have rebooted the computer, and tried again, with same results.

I'm with you man, can't receive two-part text messages now after this upgrade. My gf says she sends them, but if they're over 160 characters, I don't get any of it. I have Verizon, she has Alltel. Its definitely do to the new radio somehow, problem didn't exist before. Can anyone address this?

But as I stated earlier, if its 160 letters or under (in which case it'll just b a simgle txt message) it'll come through. Also mms does come through as well, no prob there either. when a txt is split is when the problem occurs, however I can send txt with 160+ letters in it and the other person will receive them, just I can't receive txt 160+. I've never had a prob like this before

No but I'll tell you you can address this yourself by flashing back to the Verizon standard radio ROM (version 1.10) and testing to see if the problem is resolved. If you need 1.10 it's in the most recent ROM package for verizon at www.utstar.com.

Aside from that there's nothing we can really do about it. We can't edit or hack radio ROMs. So it's a sort of "if it works for you, use it" kind of thing.

Does activesync need to be installed on the computer to do this? I don't have access to a computer with Windows XP and active sync installed(I have Vista on my computer) and I don't want to install active sync on a friends computer if it is not necessary.

Thanks

I have an XV6700 (Verizon, running Helmi's AKU 3.5 1.0.3 Kitchen)

I just upgraded to Radio 1.41 last night (was on Radio 1.1), and it looks like I am seeing slightly better reception. I don't know about battery drain yet, but ...

I have seen what appears to be a significant reduction in EVDO data speeds. I am not sure yet whether this is a Radio ROM or AKU 3.5 Kitchen issue.

Prior to the 1.0.3 Kitchen and Radio upgrade, I was running Kirvin's AKU 3.5 C&S4AA and Verizon's Radio 1.1.

Yesterday, I was seeing regular EVDO download speeds of 470-550 Kbps. Now, the fastest EVDO download I have seen is 260 Kbps (averaging around 140 Kbps) at the same site (dslreports.com).

I would like to try going back to Radio 1.1 to test this out, but where can I get an installer for it?
