does flashing to the newer radio effect the WiFi at all? meaning is the firmware in control of the WiFi radio or just the radio for the phone? the reason i ask is becasue i am having issues with my WiFi and i am hoping that just MAYBE upgrading to 3.39 will fix my WiFi issue...

i hate quoting myself, but does any one know...

Well thanks to another thread I have Sprintv working on this rom. Now to find a version of HTC Home that will not lock it up on bootup. Other than the winmo 5 version, that you cannot change anything, nor will it work with the jog wheel....

Radio updates are updates to the hardware that allow your phone to talk to th cell towers. When they do an update usually it will increase your signal strength

Not really. There is only so much you can do with a software update. Certainly you can optimize whatever you can in the phone (firmware wise) to lock onto a signal but you simply can't change physics with software... ie you can't increase the signal strength coming to your phone.

The past radio update didn't do anything for my signal strength. It basically stayed the same. Some people have reported in the past, more "bars" but that really isn't always an indication of an "increase in signal strength".

Maybe signal reception is a better way to describe?

can anyone confirm that setting low latency dns servers won't apply / stay fixed? (4.2.2.1 / 4.2.2.2). I can set and stick them if i use dcd / any other, but with this rom they won't stick... anyone have a clue how to make them stick?

i absolutely digg this rom and gps lock sooo much quicker than any other rom, even with the newest radio w/ dcd or vet's.
