I think I'm noticing a bit more battery drain but it's hard to tell so far. On a somewhat related note I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for how to deal with poor cell reception?
My lecture halls/classrooms seem to be damn Farady cages and it really kills my battery. I don't want to turn on airplane mode as I still can receive SMS. Turning off mobile data doesn't help either. Would dropping the phone to 2G or equivalent work?

They were horrible previously. They would drop signal while phone was off and then 4G would lag and eat your battery while it tried and failed to connect back and leave you on 3g or 1x till you turned off your net connection, did the airplane mode thing or rebooted. Quite the pain in the ass really.

how can i check my phone to see if i flashed radio properly? I followed instructions in link but I dont think it worked properly. Directions say it will take a couple minutes, but it didn't for me. It was instant when i rebooted. Can I go into my phone to see what radio I now have?
also, i thought when putting on sd the code is PG05IMG, or is it supposed to be PG05IMG.zip?

nope my baseband versions are:
1.39.00.0627r
0.0169.0625r
So its not correct. When flashing do i put file on sd as PG05IMG or PG05IMG.zip? I put it as PG05IMG.zip and it doesnt seem to have autodetected it in hboot

Just rename PG05IMG
Do not put the .zip
and make sure it's PG zero 5
not PG Cap O 5
Just flashed and have to agree the Radio does seem to be quite a bit improved.

Thank you sir. I knew that was my issue. I didn't put .zip when i previously flashed radio but it asked for it in the directions.
I did and thats my problem. It says .zip in the directions.

I installed new 906 radios and everything went fine. I am using the speedtest app and not seeing transfer speeds like the 20+ listed above. I don't see much of a change vs 726/802 I was on before...but I will see if things change.

no,thats the wonderful thing about revolutionary.
you can now flash literally whatever you want and your hard-patched permanent s-off hboot will remain. if you want to be "stock"(and get the ota) then flash an mr2 ruu or PG05IMG. dont flash a recovery after and youll be able to recieve the OTA.
everything after flashing the ruu will be stock,with exception of the s-off hboot,wich is harder to remove,for good reason. id strongly advise NOT to try and remove it unless absolutely neccessary,for returning for warranty purposes.
