New shipped sprint radio for Verizon?
 

Should I bother flashing to the new sprint radio(no customisations)? Will this improve GPS etc. even without the PPST stuff?

Can any verizon users that did this share their experiences?

Thanks

With the new rom+radio, I can see a significant improvement to the gps. The device is also quicker. After I flashed it this morning, I got 7 satellites with a lock on four. Inside where I could only see 3 before.

The radio should help, then you can flash back to OMJ's rom, or give him a couple days to come out with a newer version based off this rom.

You were using a verizon phone? was the lock any faster than usual?

I'm on Verizon and had the previous radio/ROM. I'm in a fringe area and my connection would "bounce" from 1x to EV and I'd be talking with 1 to no bars. Stock radio ROM didn't seem to do this,...

So far, this one is giving me good reception,... but it's way too soon to tell. :disgust:

I run Vet's ROMs so this is Schwartz1 that I'm putting on now,... have to get my MMS and stuff back first. and then I'll mess with GPS.

I put the new radio on mine and the reception does seem better than the previous radio. I have a few areas in my room that can get a little static, but all calls in that room have been completely clear so far. I did a couple GPS tests and it's locking on FAST! The initial first lock took about a minute, but after it locked on it was already seeing 5 sats right away in my house. Did a soft reset just curious to see how quick it would lock on again after restarting my phone and holy ****, I got 5 sats about 10 seconds after starting up Google Maps.

Can't wait to really test the GPS out, but I'm holding off really installing programs like Garmin on my phone until the custom ROMs come out later this week for our Verizon phones so we can take full advantage of everything we can in the new Sprint ROM.

So the radio enables GPS in this rom? Im trying to figure out which radios Have GPS working

Thanks for your input(s). Looks like I will be updating my radio.

Did activesync work or did u have to SD it? I just update, reset before customisations and then flash the rom right?

The new Sprint update prevents anyone who isn't Sprint from running it. I'm trying to get around it at the moment :) At least the radio part of it.
