What is the best radio to use? The one with the least amount of problems that people have run into.

I flashed my phone according to OMJ full custom Verizon ROM. Therefore, I have the 3.37.15 radio. I can never really seem to get GPS to get a fix (it happened once about a week ago). After I reboot, I have to wait 5-10 minutes to get Verizon service again. I don't know if those have to do with the radio, but I thought they might, so if anyone knows a better radio or how to fix these problem let me know.

Thanks!!

I personally find all radios the same for GPS. They can all be slow or fast depending on conditions.

I have tried all 3 radios for a week each and I find the Titan 3.35 Radio most stable.

I have noticed slow Voice service than on my stock sprint ROM.

After doing all the sprint customizations I think the Voice service start up time is normal again. It dpends some what on what you have running becauses some status is sometimes delayed if you have a lot of start running at startup.

For Verizon I don't know what's the best radio. I think the more important question is how to configure the radio to behave as it did on stock ROM (via Verizon customizations).

i liked the overall stability of the 3.39 radio on verizon, gps was consistent. but not great.

i ended up going back to the 3.35 because i think the gps locks a little quicker on average. once in a while i have problems with it, that result in more soft resets than id like, but on average its under 2 min to lock.

average gps lock with 3.39 for me was 3-5 min, but was consistent, and didnt require resets as often.

im sticking with 3.35 until a new rom comes out and i flash again.

good luck, and let us know what u think

Are you saying the shipped Verizon ROM can support GPS? Or Just the Radio does and you still run a derivative of Alltel or Sprint OS ROM to enable it?
