Re: Radios and Best Locations (A Great List of 51 Cities)
i think this thread is a good idea... i read through this on the other site a while back... theyve definatly made some additions...
but just a heads up to other NYC heads on SPJ... VZW 1.0.3 is horrible in NYC... it decent in upper manhattan and midtown, buisness area also but thats it... travel within any of the boros, bronx and brooklyn I know for sure its horrible, sparatic through out the rest of manhattan and barly function on the outskirts of queens like astoria or futher out like queensvillage... of all the radios ive tried... (and I believe broski will cosign on this w/ me) the sprint radios are pretty much the best...1.0.3 or 1.11...both are good... but beware vzw...IMO |

Re: Radios and Best Locations (A Great List of 51 Cities)
Here in Nashville, TN i've used both the 1.11 sprint and the 1.04.05 telus with extremely similiar results. Maybe slightly edging towards telus with the plecebo effect that it gave me better battery life.

Re: Radios and Best Locations (A Great List of 51 Cities)
I have sprint radio 1.11 and live in BayShore(long island) NY........the service just sucks within 3 towns around me, can anyone suggest a radio? I had the stock b4 and it worked just like 1.11, one more question, is it me or did i see that people use different radios other than carrier specific?

Re: Radios and Best Locations (A Great List of 51 Cities)
[QUOTE=D/\SH;382392]did you happen to try the new verizon radio and see how that works for oyu...
yes i tried all radio's except the verizon one since i didnt want to reload my phone because it hard resets it(the one i have anyway, not sure if its the NEW one).....I only was able to test a few minutes for each radio but 1.07 definitely stood out amoung the others.. 1.11F was only reading 900-1100mbs.....but 1.07 was reading 2.5+ easily each time.... |

Re: Radios and Best Locations (A Great List of 51 Cities)
i did flash the telus radio and it's incredible. the difference is huge! way faster, and most important way better battery life. battery was such a huge issue for me i was ready to throw this phone out/ ofcourse i mean sell it. i would barely get 12 hours with very light use. right now i'm at 18hrs!!!! now it is telling me to charge, but that's a 50% difference. and i havn't tested it but it's quite a bit faster too. i just got hip to the radios. this should be promoted more on our site.
