thats how the battery life is on the stock rom... for me its like 8 hours... lets say you don't touch it or use it as a phone or internet, you'll last 12, but whats the point right?

Juicy's Roms are exceptional for battery life... i'd assum juggalo's latest are too

not sure if you ever flashed a rom before, but make sure you unlock first and read carefully what to do... becomes second nature after a couple times

Never done it, but I'd love to try it if it makes the phone run better. Have a link to a thread that is a walk through? One without all the acronyms haha, I barely understand what you guys are talking about!

first things first, don't flash a new rom until you have a data connection! VERY IMPORTANT! I made that mistake and they had to send me another phone.

Here's how to unlock, its pretty self explanitory without many acronyms lol: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

EDIT: I WASN'T AWARE ERIC THE RICER HAD A TOUCH PRO AND THE ABOVE IS FOR DIAMONDS... THIS IS FOR TOUCH PRO http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

Flashing a rom is pretty much the same process, if you get confused feel free to PM me and we'll get you through it.

Juicy's ROMS so far have been best on batter life... version 2.5 from what i've heard is most stable without issues... the upcoming 3.4 should be a killer rom tho...

REMEMBER: since you have sprint, Always flash a CDMA rom because a GSM rom will BRICK(LOCK/FREEZE/BREAK) your phone. Generic CDMA roms mean they are not carrier specific (not sprint, telus, bell, altell) but you'll have to install a carrier cab (created by DCD) which i have attached the sprint carrier cab to this post. after a flashed rom, unzip and place the cab on your device and run it.

Does anyone know if the phone will actually perform "BETTER" after installing this carrier cab? Will the battery life and/or reception improve? I'm using Juicy 3.4 right now and it seems to work well as-is. But I'm always looking for improvements.

FYI ~ I did downgrade my PRL from 60614 [comes with Juicy 3.4] to 60613 and it looks like I'm getting 1 bar more signal strength wherever I go. Still would like to know if there is something else in DCD's cab that I should use on my Sprint phone.

Please give me you opinions. THANKS!

btw, a custom rom will ALWAYS CRUSH a stock/shipped rom. There is way too much bloatware(crap u don't need and just suck up memory and battery).

Hi guys, i was wondering if you could help me out, I just got my diamond less than a week. Got it off ebay new, i am getting error code 67, invalid vision username/pass. i've been reading thru the thread trying to figure out if it's the same problems some have been having, but not exactly sure. i tried almost everything on this thread except maybe flashing the rom. I think i figured out the problem but not sure how to fix it. Seems like when i got the phone it was preloaded with a username@sprintpcs and a certain phone #. I reset it a few times with my msl #, changing it manually with #3282#. I did contact support and went to the sprint store numerous times. Is there a way to completely wipe out this username, mdn & msid #s? thanks if you can help

Yes! To completely wipe out the MDN, MSID, and data profile (stored in slot 1) u can ##RTN#
Be Warned this will also completely hard reset your device

Error 67 simply means the username/password on your device do not match what sprint has on their authentication server. This could be a provisioning problem on their (sprint) end, or incorrect parameters programmed on the device. The update profile 'should' correct the parameters in the device to match those currently on the network. However I've heard that as of late there's many provisioning issues...

I have 2 Sprint Diamonds and both within a 24 hour period lost the data connection. I have the phone working but no internet. I was on the phone with tech support for 5 hours with different calls about this. I have been using Mighty Mike's rom on both but that is not the problem I do not think. I did reset my one device to the original sprint rom and relocked the device. The update profile did not work and the tech's tried everything and still no data. This was so frustrating as I my main phone was just Perfect and I was real happy. Now I'm stuck with wiped out phones back to original Sprint Rom and still no internet. Sprint is sending me a replacement phone and I have a ticket for someone to call (advance support) about the other but man this makes me want to go to At&t and get the Fuze or Verizon and check out the Storm. If you go to Sprint Users there are several posts about the same problems I'm having. This is really not a good thing for Sprint.

anybody know what error code 407 is when trying to update the data profile?

Thanks
