flashing a new radio issue
 

after flashing the latest verizon radio , my device lags exponentially . its happened with two devices I've had . could my radio be faulty on my laptop since I copy it to different locations a lot ? what could be doing this ?? it happens to every rom I flash too .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

alright , I just flashed back to stock radio , works fine . downloaded again the latest vzw radio and it works . must have been a bad file I had since it was so old .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

alright it still slows to a crawl . anyone know why this is happening when I flash a different radio ? I remember on my very first phone I had the vzw radio on it with much increased service . why can't I flash that radio onto my phone now ?

I am on the latest radio from vzw. havent seen the lag you are talking about.

Flashed to it almost as soon as it came out.

Latest being 2.37, correct?

If you flash stock rom, does it still show same lag?

And when you say lag, is it lag moving from 1x to EV or ???

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

No the latest i found was 2.35 . can you link to the newer radio ?

And lag huh , i mean like EVERYTHING lags . the entire phone . it wont even shut off . it just hangs there and freezes .

After you flashed the new radio did you try updating your PRL?

This post has the verizon 2.37 radio. It was part of the verizon MR3 update.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

prl is the latest . I have a feeling I'm missing something from my rom . I'm gonna flash to stock then try the vzw radio

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

hmm I had that radio on my tp2 for the longest time since VIN included it with his rom until I bought my arrive and flashed back to stock thinking that id get more than $25for it and I had no issues with it.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

yeah I had it on my other touch pro 2s with custom roms . but since I build roms for barebones , I have a feeling I left something out . I'm gonna try the prl update after flashing the new radio , but I do have the latest (51079) is what it is . so I don't know if a different one will come up with the different radio or not . oh well back to the drawing board ! ^-^ never know till ya try !

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

bumping my old post , but i still have yet to figure this out . its driving me NUTS ! seriously guys (chefs) is there some secret as to why i cant flash any other radio except for stock ? even running the stock ROM i couldnt flash any other radio . it would flash ok and then later it would just lag like He11 !!! it drives me nuts i get so much better service with the latest vzw radio i would LOVE to be able to have my custom ROM running with this radio .. ugh . fml

Maybe your issues with the Verizon radio are caused by changes that have been made or are being made to the Sprint Network? Like the changes in the roaming agreements with Verizon and tower changes.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

What changes are being made ?? all i did was take the sprint stock rom and extracted it into my kitchen . and removed/added the things i wanted . what recommendations do you have for me ? or anyone else .. ive flashed a million other ROM's and they all work . other people have had the same issue as me with my ROM . i cant stand it :angry7:

ive tried the dummy fwupdate and sqr but that didnt help ](*,)](*,)](*,)

and as far as roaming agreements with verizon and tower changes , isnt that controlled by the PRL ? what baffles me the most is how i can run other peoples ROM's without a problem . this sucks .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

@horndoctor they're messing with towers down there now? no wonder things were starting to slow down a bit in the evening during my last couple of days there.

Well you said in your first post that the lag happens with any rom when you flash the verizon radio to it. I was thinking that those users that are on verizon may not have issues but maybe you do now since you are on Sprint and there have been changes to roaming agreements which is why there have been so many PRLs released over the last few months. Have you tried comparing both Sprint 1.96 or 2.32 radios?

Yes, I have noticed inconsistant speeds and more than the usual call issues lately here. I pray things will get better with tower upgrades.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

yes i have tried the 1.96 radio and that runs fine on my ROM , it just gives me horrible service -.- im 99 percent of the time on 1x with that radio .

and i must correct myself , the lag only happens when running MY custom ROM with the vzw Radio .. but running anyone elses ROM it runs perfect .. so i know its something im doing .. im gonna try taking a stock VZW ROM and goofing around with that , if that doesnt work , then im gonna switch kitchens . i have a feeling it maybe something with osKitchen .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

IIRC the VZW radio didn't really offer that much of a performance boost over the latest sprint radio, at least not in my area anyway. I would test it on my tp2 but it's WiFi only so I don't know if it would work

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

i know it works for me . cause when i have sharkies ROM or something on it gives me phenomenal service over the stock radio . i also noticed that different ROMs gave me different service . what all in the ROM / kitchen is dependent on the signal ?

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

usually ROMS don't have anything to do with signal but it could be the fact that some roms use the 7 bar signal indicator while the others just use the 5 thicker bar signal indicator.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

yeah I did a field test on a bunch of ROMs , and the signal didn't change , its the latest verizon radio that does it for me .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

Having the same problem as you? lmk if you find a solution.

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

which ROM are you on ? to my knowledge my ROM is the only ROM who likes being retarded .

Re: flashing a new radio issue
 

ok I did some research and I read something about the rilphone.dll needing to be changed . so I pulled the one from sharkies ROM with no luck . I also read the .nbh needs to be modified using a hex editor . anyone know what I need to change ? my next plan of action is switching to ervius kitchen .
