New "Official" Sprint ROM (3.49, radio 3.39.10)

[dzuchowski]

i have 6.1 beta and i think speed wise it is ok, i think my laptop with a 1.8ghz duel core 4gb ram 320gb 5400rpm hdd 160gb hdd 7200 rpm dvd 17" screen runs rings arounfd this pfone. i use the calling feature on my yahoo messenger to call people thru my sprint broadband service. now that sprint is limiting data to 5gb i guess i cant download as much porn now

I'm runnin no2chem's 5060 and yeah, it's fast, but I'm not talking about the rom. Is the 3.39 radio that much better for data and gps over 3.35?

Just my opinion but my philosophy when it comes to reflashing is... unless there is a really compelling reason to reflash just leave good enough alone.

to me, compelling reasons are: (in no particular order)
1. adding major functionality (ie. GPS and Rev-a)
2. Fixes to crashing or non-functional programs
3. Major program or ROM upgrades (like a new no2chem base..)

Often reflashing to the "latest and greatest" takes some time and repeated flashing to get it just the way you want.

From 3.35 to 3.39 I don't see that much of a difference in the GPS. The new ROM does seem a bit snappier but that might be a function of No2Chem 5067 (vs 5060) and not the radio.

I had major issues with the rom. I could only connect to 1x with the new radio. I reflashed and changed settings more than I could imagine.

I did many changes and unfortunately I took 8 hours to figure that it was the rom which caused this. Backed the radio up and evdo instantly.

Is it a good Idea to flash with Official Sprint ROM(3.49 radio 3.39.10 then with a Custom rom for Verizon xv6800 just to get the radio upgraded to 3.39.10. Currently have 3.35

I was about to ask the same question...

That's what I did. You just want to make sure to not let customizations run. (reset during the three second delay after display calibration.

Anyone notice an EVDO speed decrease after upgrading to radio 3.39? I'm getting an average of 700kbit/s instead of my original 1200-1600kbit/s. Tested on dslreports.com/mspeed.
I don't know if it's just a network issue in my area, my cache settings, or the new radio.

Is this speed using the phones data line or a WIFI through your home connection
