i believe the radio is like the drivers for the antenna in your phone. an updated radio should perform better than previous ones and could add capabilities that prior radios didn't have.

as for free internet, this was a capability that's been there since the touch first came out. you do this by connecting your phone to your computer via usb cable and using the internet sharing program to get internet on your computer, with your phone acting as the modem. this is called tethering.

So this is the 'official' holy update so many have been waiting for?

this isn't free unless you have an unlimited data plan tho... also, know that sprint is putting a 5G cap on data soon.

Sprint forced the Phone as Modem profile for Internet Sharing in the new Mogul ROM as well. I posted this in the Titan forum:

Edit: LuLuTheMonk made a cab for the reg entry here.

Sprint has forced Internet Sharing to use the Phone as Modem profile for dialing out. There is not an option to change it like there used to be:



I poked around a little bit, and it looks like they added this reg key in HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings --> ForceCellConnection [String value = "Phone as Modem"]

Just change it to "Sprint PCS" and you'll be good to go. Plus you won't have to worry about selecting Phone as Modem at all in the future. Thanks Sprint! That is actually pretty handy!

5g cap is on phone as modem not tethering due to sprint thinks your useing your phone internet not the modem
