Ok i flashed this latest radio and it seems to be working well. The GPS works fine and i get max signal strength with my carrier here in Norway (Netcom). Wireless signal is also quite good.

I guess i have nothing bad to say about this Radio, but then again it's the first radio i have ever flashed =D

I just wish Google would fix the market!

I have had this Radio for a couple of days now on T-Mobile UK.

GPS lock is very quick, voice and data seem a bit better than the PU version.

I can confirm it works on a simlocked Orange UK Hero with the unlocked SPL. And definately better signal and faster GPS lock.

A little bit of reading goes a long way..

yep sorry i was a bit lazy.

some good comments, but also the odd negative one, where some people thinks it gives random reboots.

I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Been running this now on Virgin UK.
Seems to hold signal better in low signal areas and gps seems quicker to lock on.

I flashed this last night (Orange UK) and so far it is certainly no worse!

1. Boot into Recovery mode (Home+Power on) and flash the zip.
2. When told to do so press Home+Back to reboot the phone.
3. You should get a new screen after the reboot with an image and some arrows or something like that; Let it do its thing. It will reboot by its self **Do Not Remove The Battery**.

Once it reboots back into recovery mode you should see it say

Formatting cache.....

Which never goes away, so once you can navigate the menu (usually after a few seconds) just press Reboot and load up your OS. You can view the radio update in 'about phone'

I would throw in a wipe of the cache + dalvik cache, it's probably ok without it but it can't hurt.

I put this on yesterday and it doesn't seem to be noticeably different to the previous one on T-Mobile UK.

I actually had some problems with the new Radio in the start. It would drop out a lot after coming back from sleep. Anyhow i ended up doing a full wipe and reinstalling the rom again and now it works a treat.

Although i can't say if it's any better than the stock radio (i've never flashed the radio before) seeing as i never looked at signal strength all that much.

ok flashed this radio.
don't really notice the difference, although i would say that it finds wifi and gps quickly.
