ok i have the HTC CDMA Sprint HERO.. and im woundering if there is anything i can do/install on my phone to improve 3G reception at my house... i have ify spots at my house where it just wont hold 3g.. is there like an external antenna i can plug in.. or can i wire one in... ive allready installed the radio update. but it didnt really help.. thanks for your time.. i hope someone can help me..
Try all of the radios, not just the most recent, some are better for some than others.
Also, if you call sprint and complain about splotchy coverage they may give you an AirRave - caveat: you have to have high speed internet for those to work.
well the AirRave thing wont work.. lol the reason why i need my phone in 3g is so i can teather it lol.. but do you happen to have a link for the radios?
and i just flash the radios zip file right? and it will over write the one i have installed now?

Yeah, Read the directions on that website.
Make sure you ONLY EVER get radios from this site OR this sub forum of XDA. This can brick your phone....
They flash a little differently than a rom. After you tell it the update.zip you want to flash, you will see it reboot to a different background image. If it appears stuck after a few minutes, roll your scroll wheel and see if the selection at the top changes. if it does, then its done.... I think... been a while...
Better yet...read the directions.

unless you've found a workaround, I don't believe tethering works over 3G on the Sprint network unless you have an EVO - tethering does work over WiFi with the Hero.

Flash an Eris based ROM. Note this this may break the Sprint apps (NFL, Nascar, etc Nav and TV will still work)
What's the pri?

Hello,
My name is Brian, I'm a member here obviously.... Had the username BFielding a while back, registered in 2007 if I remember correctly, but can't access or retrieve password for that account, different email now, so now I'm BFielding80...
Heres my problem... I can't get SH!T for help on this site, maybe because it's so overloaded, or maybe some a$$hole said dont help this person.... IDK
All I know is I ask a question and they RARELY get answered.... I'm at the point I'LL ****1N PAY U TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, I'VE BEEN ASKING THE SAME [email protected] QUESTION LONG ENOUGH...
I need radio help. I'm rooted, I run all the ROMs, always Froyo based.... I've never updated my radio from what it came with.... I have radio 32.26.00.24H_4.04.00.03_2
I haven't updated because I don't want to kill my AT&T 3g.... I've read that the TMo Froyo radio will kill my AT&T 3G so thats why I left my radio alone.... But now I'm reading that the newer radios are compatible either way, so I want to upgrade it.
I know I can go back if it does kill my 850/1900, but I would rather someone to just please just recommend me a radio as well as link, I'll adb it myself...
I need a radio for best 3G and battery life would be a plus, but 3G is more important, in my area I drop to edge frequently...
THE PERSON WHO HELPS ME WILL RECEIVE $10 US DOLLARS VIA PAYPAL
Thanks,
Brian
Well, I don't want your money but you should be fine flashing this new radio (32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04). Some people say they get improved battery life and some don't. Most seem to get better reception.

There is where you will get the newest radio image, it is identical to the one found in the Desire 2.2 update. You do not have to update HBOOT if you do not want to, though I could be wrong on that one, though I didn't have to when I did.
If you do not want this version of the radio as some people have trouble with it you can flash the radio that was uploaded by enomther:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE... I NEED TO COME THROUGH ON MY WORD THOUGH, IM me [email protected] wanna chat and i'll take care of you...

Heh, no that is all right. By the way, I kept editing my post a fair bit, sorry.
So there are two 2.2 radios you could flash. The newer one does give you better reception though, I use the 4.06 one though, if you were curious.

I have a tmo n1 and I noticed better reception with the korean radio but I've noticed some roms don't give me better reception but sometimes WORSE. I'm on rodriguez r21 limemod using the 5.06 radio. Works well. Just one off those trial and error things. If you re on edge instead of 3g try the *#*#4636#*#* trick just remember if u you use wcdma only and lose 3g u lose all service and have to change back to wcdma preferred. Good luck...

The ROM shouldn't affect your reception to my knowledge. You may have different APNs set and that could cause issues but even that is a stretch.
What 5.06 radio? 4.06 or 5.08?
Just put both radios on my SD, I'll update through RA recovery, but yall think adb is better?

They both should have the same end result. I usually flash through recovery but to each his own. See which one you like better make sure you checked the MD5sum and make sure they match up.

Heh, let me know how it goes, I'll put a donate button in my signature along with other things once XDA allows me to. Signatures are not allowed for newer users in an effort to stop spam and such. Which is completely understandable. Just means I have to wait to add stuff I want down there. Enjoy.

you should not see any major difference between the two radios when it comes to battery life. i've been using 5.08 since it came out, i have a much more stable signal and battery life is the same for me.
you can also downgrade ur radio whenever you want... just flash the old radio through recovery... you'll be ok
Fastboot is, IMO, the most reliable way to flash a radio. I would rather not leave a brickable upgrade/downgrade up to a script, but that's just my paranoia kicking in. lol.

I have noticed a significant boost in my reception after flashing the 5.08 radio, I used to never get a scent of service in my house, now I'm seeing bars!
Just updated to 5.08. Much better reception now.

I know there isn't an outstanding support for the Cellular South Hero, but I'm having trouble finding ROMs, themes, and such for my phone. Maybe its because I'm new to rooting, so often times I don't know what I'm looking at and I'm scared to try anything without seeing smething like This works with Cellular South Heros, I can't find a lot for my phone. So I was wondering: is there any way we could get a subtopic in this forum for Cellular South users?
On another note, what roms and themes DO work with my Hero? Currently I'm using Danger 2.1.
Almost all of them. You might get somw sprint logos but it still works on cellsouth. Southpaw is also made for cs

I havent run across a rom that wouldnt work on Cell South so far. I'm running AOSP mod atm and I had CM6 before that, and Fresh before that.
Yea i've pretty much run every one thrown out there since like april and haven seen a bill increase or any flaws based off me being with Csouth so i'd give it a go if i were you lol Cuz with the stuff these amazing devs and themers are pushing out, you'd be missing out if you chose not to bro

HTC Diagnostics is *#*#3424#*#*
There is nothing like you are looking for. ##3424 opens up diag mode for usb diag. What exactly are you wanting to test? Speed? Read/write? Signal strength? There are diff tests but most devices in the same class have minimal diff in those areas.

I thought what he wanted was a way to test the phone to make sure everything is working. The diagnostics test can test the screen, battery, cellular data, etc and let you know if the phone is functioning properly and he can buy.

Diag Mode on Custom Rom
How would we get DIAG Mode on a custom rom? I am using Slim Rom for Sprint HTC One and can't use the dialer to enable diag mode since it doesn't have the stock dialer.
You have to use a sense based Rom in order to access the menu and I believe the stock dialer is required so if ur Rom is stock based just push the dialer apk.

so I have had a galaxy s6 for a long while as well as a galaxy4 tab tonight I attempted to go through and root and install exposed on either and had nothing but issues it seems like us cellular models in specific do not get much support. Im hoping someone else uses US cellular as their carrier and could point me to a phone they offer that has less franchise modifications and they use both twrp and xposed framework/modules with.
any help is appreciated thanx in advance
