frankly, i dont think so, my phone kept getting "sleep of death" when used with no2chem 2.2 pre 8. never had this trouble with the latest sprint and alltel radios... so from my experience, i dont think so

3.42.50 will work better in terms of reception and GPS locks.

3.37.75 works fine with DCD's ROMs. I still use it and have been on dcd, no2chem and my custom version of mr1. I've never had an issue.

I beg to differ.....my locks are approx 7 seconds longer with any other radio. I'm not saying 3.37.75 is better for everyone but my personal testing for my area has proven it's the best one for me.

My advise for anyone would be to test different radio's. I've noticed different results between most radios ranging from different dead spots on my ride to and from work to different gps lock times to different reception within my house. There are always variables so extensive testing is the best approach.

Well 3.42.50 causes my BT audio gateway to stop working and I have to power cycle the BT off and on or soft reset. I have found this consistent with different roms and radio 3.42.50. With 3.42.40 radio on the Sprint Titan I have no problems, plus satellite lock in five seconds. =)

Wow that sucks guys. Did you use the Alltel version or the one DCD ripped from the Vogue?

I believe the version I was using was ripped from the Vogue. I thought all 3.42.50 radio's where from t he vogue. I will search for the Alltel 3.42.50 and give it a shot.

Cheers,

Mikee

The Alltel one is nice.
