[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
How did you buy a hero last april? Because they come with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. heh. Unless you didn't buy it retail I suppose.

Thanks regaw. Exactly what he said. The lights at the bottom will only turn on when you are in a dark area. If you are sitting in the light then they won't come on. Go in to the dark (or cover your light sensor next to the ear piece) and voila. :-P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Glad I could help :)

That threw me off at first too with these Sprint 2.1 roms :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeric71:
Solved -------
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
Your ear piece is blown. That happened to me. I used an air compressor and blew it out and it fixed it, but it is a common problem with the Hero.

The radio update did not do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] West650:
Do you guys recommend flashing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] myth_mn:
Since I flash the latest flipz rom, I haven't had the problem with time without signal, but I'm still using the stock rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
stock rom didn't have that problem....:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
w00t!!! It's been about 4 hours since I flashed this, and my time without a signal is 0%!!! :) I'm happy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SeventhApollo:
If I flash this radio to my Hero, will I be able to update to stock 2.1 when the time comes? Or will I be stuck with what I've got?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoiswes:
Running DC2.05, flashed radio fine. Rebooted into recovery after update, had to reboot a second time.

Checked settings via *#*#4636#*#* - system was set to GSM, not CDMA. Set it again, powered off and on, an radio was set back to GSM.

Corrected and rebooted (not powercycled) this time - same thing.

So the GSM bug is still prevalent...now, how much that will affect things I can't say...I'll try to update again tonight after letting the phone sit idle for a few hours, see what my time without signal % is.

Otherwise, I'm getting a better signal with the new radio, on the order of 4-6 dB.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
Running heavily modded full damagedtrav mod. I have noticed neither a better signal and if anything worse battery. worse battery more than anything. however, i wiped and flashed on 18 percent, and only gave it 15min on my car charger.

charging now. ill turn it off and let it charge for about 45minutes. this usually gets me 80%. ill in turn, tonite post a 5 hour review of the battery life with normal usage, and plenty of screenies too please our weenies.

ive made one suscessful phone call since my...ahem; mishap...

Radio Update with Non-Sprint / Non-CellularSouth Phones

Ok, so I've already converted one nTelos phone to a Celular South phone by trying the PRI fix that I found out I didn't need inthe first place. And I seriously think that my local nTelos store is going to look at me funny if I bring in 2 purposly bricked phones in less than a week, so my question is:

Has anyone with a non-Sprint, non-CellularSouth phone tried this update? is it safe for us regional folks?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
i recommend.

using speed test in the some spot.

before(stock)

780 down and 328 down

after(current radio)

Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery Use -> Cell Standby.

After 6 hours of uptime, I'm showing 0% time without signal...battery has gone down a few points (can't launch market to install a decent battery indicator so I'm just guessing).

No calls or data sent/received but still getting a better signal strength than on the older radio....

So far so good....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] West650:
I can go back to stock radio if I don't like this one right?

Is this ROM safe for those of us on that are not on Sprint or Cellular South?

I'd love to possibly extend my battery life, but don't want a brick / Cell South phone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I'm not going to say yes or no, but I will say that this is NOT a rom. It's a radio image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
This isn't a ROM, it's a Radio. I wouldn't flash it since it appears to have been made for Sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CHANG3D:
Same here. Except I'm in TN.

My radio still says Rev. 0. I dunno how some people's radio changed to Rev A.

My signal strength had been -77dBm, now it's -95dBm. That's clearly worse than the stock radio.

I can't really tell the difference in battery life. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is, in fact, worse.

Any one knows where I could download the stock radio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
i forgot where I got this, but here's the stock radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
I updated to this Radio. -95dbm before, and around the same after.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] keanon:
Can this radio.img be undone with the RUU 1.56 package?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nahrwoldinternet:
non-Sprint non-Cellular South Phones *APPROVED*

Ok, so I took one for the team and tried it out. Flashed this *image* (that's the word I was looking for before, not ROM) on my nTelos phone, and it came back up fine.

Same signal strength (-87dB), and same EDVO rev 0. No noticable change right off the bat. We'll see if it did anything for battery life later.

(Since these radio images seem to be effective by region, I'min Virginia Beach)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkascak:
Probably a noob question but will this radio update the PRI? Mine's at 1.70_003 and I'd like to be able to use wired tether (MNS) which has problems with my PRI. If it doesn't update that, is there any other way to update the PRI so that I can use MNS?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
First time I've done a radio upgrade on this. Hopefully it'll help the battery as much as the signal and speed:

Before: -81dBm, 871kbps

After: -74dBm, 1108kbps

Was shocked that I actually broke a megabit. Very nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
I have the same PRI as you and the radio didn't change it. From what I've gathered leeching knowledge from the forums here, there's no reason a radio should affect your PRI.

Now, how to actively change it to meet you needs, that much I haven't figured out. Hopefully somebody else can chime in on that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
Flipz, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!. Before this update, I could not get a signal at work for the life of it. Now, I am getting a signal (although weak but still not dropping). Thanks a lot for making this available to the public and improving my phone in a lot of ways!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] blampars:
Ok, here's my results.

2.42 radio

Not much difference in data speeds or my server ping, but my signal is not so hot now. I had the same problem with the 2.41 radio when I tried it.

My Mobile network type *has changed* this time to CDMA - EvDo rev. A from previously being rev. 0 however.

Going to stick with this radio for the next 2 days and see how it fares. The best test is while I'm at work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Roman G:
Well I am happy to report that I just flashed flipz's new radio on 1.5 and all is good!

I saw a few people post about wanting to know about flashing it on 1.5 so I figured what the hell!

The only thing that I checked was my signal strength and that has stayed the exact same!

So anyway just wanted to let you guys know!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Umm...actually a bad radio flash is pretty much the only way to definitively brick your phone. In extreme circumstances it can literally fry the hardware.

You're partially right, though, aside from that I can't think of any way (now that the RUU issue is fixed) to actually keep from being able to get the phone running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Roman G:
Thanks for the clarification, I thought the fix was for basically bricking your phone in general!

I will edit my post, so I don't confuse anyone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Nope. That fix is really just for the 110 errors with the RUU. It will likely fix other issues as well, but I haven't seen anything remotely similar come up. Just be careful with radio flashes. It's pretty much the only thing that's scary about doing things with these phones anymore ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Roman G:
I do have one question though, how do I find my time without a signal on 1.5!

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
I don't think that option is on 1.5 roms. They don't have the time without signal problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
this radio image has given me a better signal though and better sound quality ...battery is better than before...

thanks Flipz!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] West650:
This radio has helped my battery out a lott.

Got off charger at 12pm and now its 10pm. It's still at 50%. :D

Thanks a lot Flipz!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Nevermind got it updated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kshah:
It works well with MoDaCo ROM 1.5 However I do not see any difference in radio signal and battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FATAL_SMURF:
I flashed the new Radio then did a clean install after wipe of the newest Fresh release and everything is working great for me. Cell standby before was at 53%, now it is at 2%. Battery seems a little better too but I use mine as a radio at work so its on the charger alot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] energizer1389:
After a full day of use I think it has improved my battery life about 15%(estimated guess). Some things I have noticed with the new roms:

auto brightness tends to keep your phone in an average brighter setting therefore not helping with battery life. I would suggest a manual brightness setting for better battery life

I saw significant improvement by removing vvm and using google voice

Bluetooth and voicecalls do not drain my battery as much as they use to

Browsing with default browser drained my battery faster than using Dolphin browser

Battery life has increased very significantly while the phone is at minimal use (I guess better sleep).

These are by no means scientific results. Only based on my perception. And Ive also done lots of changes which include RegawMod 2.02p rom, radio update 2.42, profile and prl updates, removing some apps, using auto killer, manually using low brightness etc.

ps. Flipz has not modified anything in this radio, he just made it available for us. It comes straight from sprint and should work with any 1.5 or 2.1 roms. Thanks to Flipz for his amazing contributions to our cdma Hero community.

another ps(lol). Are we aware that after the EV4G is released this summer this cdma hero community is basically dead?? Ill bet everyone of the devs here will get one and start developing for it therefore fewer and fewer roms and updates and customizations. I guess we should start saving money to get one too... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Yeah, that's why there aren't any new ROMs for G1's, right? Sheesh. Get a grip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GolpherZX:
I would think that this community wouldn't die until at least October, the 1 year anniversary when the upgrade will be available. For me I purchased the phone outright without signing a new two year contract.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Flashed new radio on DC 2.05 (with Avalaunchmods fix). No issues so far. Haven't tested speed or anything. But I had no issues flashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
this radio GREATLY improved my reception at work in a steel building. Also,

this is probably because the stock browser uses flash. If you turned off flash in the settings, you could probably see a big increase without using another browser, if you so desired.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bernard_photography:
I don't know if I should update, I am getting 1175.1kbit/s down and 181.0kbit/s up on the stock radio. Looks pretty decent compared to most. I am afraid to f that up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bernard_photography:
So, I decided to flash it. Here are my results: Signal looks the same, but I didn't know how to test that.

Before

1175.1kbit/s down

181.0kbit/s up

After

1903.2kbit/sdown

170.4kbit/s

Looks great to me. :) Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nck4857:
Installed here with no problems..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bernard_photography:
I did an additional test with the speedtest.net. app. I am getting:

2156kbps down and 654kbps up with a ping of 196.

All I can say is I am happy! Oh yeah, I am in the Clearwater, Florida area if you are wondering about the service.

Scary Bug

Man, after I flashed this Radio I tried to update the PRL and somehow it updated to 27392. My performance went immediately down the toilet and I was forced to Digital Roam only. My data connection went down to 1xRTT. I tried rebooting, reflashing, reupdating my PRL, etc. but nothing would work. I finally was able to do a successful update to PRL 60663 and everything is working great now. I've got DC v2.05, PRI 1.70_003, PRL 60663, Baseband 2.42.00.03.10 and everywhere I look flowers are blooming. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blampars:
After using this radio for a few days now, I'm happy to report that my signal at work is through the roof. I work in the city of Detroit and my signal has always been rather low. Using this radio, I've actually seen my dbm at -51 which is crazy. 3g all day long :-)

Thanks flipz!

is the PRI somthing that could affect Network location?

My battery has at least doubled with this radio. I was getting about 6 hours with moderate use on the Sprint leak roms. Now I am getting any where from 13-17 hours of battery life with moderate use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frostrunner:
Worse after update

Just letting you guys know that in souther cali, Orange county area. Where recption is Moderate to Exelent depending on where ya are. I was getting constant worse reception in some places, along with worse down and up speeds. Where in others (few others) got better, but only slightly.

If you need me to i can do some speed tests from where i usualy spend most of my time.

As for battery life, i was getting fluctuating results. One day i would get like 11+ hours on my OEM battery. Others i would get barely 5. I am a heavy data user cause i have slacker on practically all day at work and im using bluetooth headphones about ~1 hour a day. Throughout that time i text about 100+ texts and make 2-5 calls a day.

On the older radio when i updated to the 60663 PRL i got a big boost in signal in places where i had none. And the battery life seemed much better.

Just my experience =P no intent to disway people from the radio.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Flipz,

An observation, sorry if it's been covered already. I flashed this radio tuesday and it may be placebo but I seem to be getting better signal and battery life on average so far.

However twice in the last 2 days my phone has, for no apparent reason, decided to check for a PRL update. It will spend about a minute searching and maybe another 30 seconds applying the new PRL it just found then tells me the new PRL has been successfully installed. I've had the 63 for 2 weeks which hasn't changed since I updated to it... this doesn't bother me I just thought it was worth posting.
