Sprint Leaked Radio v3.37.15 vs Alltel Radio v3.37.10

[kbl]

I've upgraded to the leaked Sprint ROM with radio 3.37.15 and find the radio signal seems somewhat weaker when compared to the Alltel radio 3.37.10.

I'm curious as to what other people are finding... ?

I found the exact same thing. I'm thinking about going back to the Alltell ROM and reflashing the OMJ cooked version (which won't overwrite the Alltel ROM)

What do you mean by weaker?

Sitting in the same place in my condo and switching between the .15 and .10 I get more "bars" with the .10 for some reason.

I flashed the Alltel (.10 radio) and then one I conjured up out of ppckitchen (based off sprint leak without radio). I'll see how this works out throughout today.

I've very interested to see what you're findings on this are. And all you did was simply reflash to the Alltel and it gave you back the .10 right? That was all i was thinking would have to be done but I wasn't 100% sure.

I've ran into some issues with the leaked kitchen (including the weaker signal). I went back to the alltel based kitchen until the official sprint rom comes out.

Did your signal strengh get better again?

i also found this same situation to be true. sprint didnt do a very good job on this really when they leaked the titan radio the majority enjoyed now it seems like the majority dislikes this one. this royally sucks that they dont work harder on what they release even though this wasnt the "official release" it definately should be better than this.

You can't go by the number of bars, this is stated all over this site. You have to go by the RSSI reading in ##DEBUG.

If I go by bars, I get the exact same amount no matter which radio I've used, and my RSSI is fairly close in all of them too. Each ROM might give you a slightly different reading, especially the thicker bars vs the thinner bars.

I've found that my bars seem to be more stable with the leaked ROM/Radio. With other ones the bars would jump up and down, especially with the original Sprint ROM/Radio, now they are steady most of the time.

Performance wise, I haven't seen a difference. Yes it shows weeker signal on the display but I seem to get the same performance. 3.37.15, 3.37.10 and 3.35 all perform better then the stock radio that my touch had. Too soon to tell for me.
