Didn't see a difference with cell tower reception, still 1 bar or so at my house

Took the GPS on the road and I get much better locks. before I would get 3 - 4 locks and 2 or 3 signals but they would not lock. Today I have seen 6-7 locked satalites with an occasional drop of one or two but they lock right back on. so I am very happy with the update.

Also I use TT6 and before it would say No GPS - Waiting for Valid Signal and then no usable signal before I would get any locks, now it doesn't goes to no unusable signal.

Agree, no better cell/phone reception, but GPS is MUCH better for me. Still testing and STILL locking in in places it never would before and quicker than before. At this point I am happy to say that this in NOT a placebo effect....but the next few days will verify this for sure.

I think I'm losing my mind...I updated to the new radio and the kitchen 20270 rom today. I was checking all my settings and went to check the Revision A: Enabled option under Data Parameters (EPST) but it isn't there anymore. I haven't kept up with all the changes so maybe this option is no longer neccessary? Or am I missing something?

Just throwing in another update, this radio is working much better. I STILL have the same results. Took the phone out with me on a smoke break and it locked in before i finished. I use the HTC GPS Tool to watch the data flowing in and this radio starts getting ephemeris data very quickly. With 3.42.30, It could be 5 mins before ephemeris data starting coming in. I did not change any settings, strictly updated the radio only.

I have a problem and need serious help. First, I have the sd card formatted or at least I think, if i don't then how do I check to make sure it is formatted? Secondly, I have the file saved to my sd card so now what next, do I put my phone in BL Mode? When I do that it says: Serial and that's it. Can someone help me with this. I'm new to flashing from a memory card...thanks

First off, the card MUST be smaller than 2GB and cannot be a SDHC card. Second, your card should be formatted FAT32. If you are unsure, you can right click on it in explorer and choose properties. On the first tab it will say either FAT or FAT32. If it does not say FAT32, cancel out of that screen, right click on it again and choose format. Choose FAT32 from the list and check quick format. Leave everything else as default. Once all the above has been met, copy the TITAIMG.NBH file to the card, and then force the phone in bootloader mode. Once in bootloader mode, it should see the file on the card and ask if you want to load it. Your bootloader should be 2.40 or 2.47 and the OS ROM must be a gps ROM, otherwise it won't boot up anymore.

Not sure why, but seems like I'm not getting sat locks with BAF GPS Toggler and Google Maps / Garmin XT near as quickly as I did with 3.42.30.

For some reason it's been taking twice as long after boot to get the satellite locks now.

Maybe it's in my head...

Is there a way to upgrade to this radio through other means than using a <2GB mini sd?

Yes through the RUU.....I would recommend it through the card though....if you run it through RUU it hard resets the phone.....through SDcard you lose nothing.....plus it is just plain easier for this particular flash....
