I decided to load the Telus ROM on VZW 6800. Flashed fine. Stopped customizations before running. Did not need an A-Key or any activation. Installed TomTom7.x and HTC GPS Tool. I then tested. I got a lock on TomTom 7 within 15 seconds EVERY time. I have used the GPS tool to clear memory and reapeted. Same results, 15 seconds or less. Next I took the battery out for about one minute and then tried again. Still 15 or less seconds!!!


I am worried I am seeing a placebo affect here. Can someone else try?

this one works better for me on Telus too... .50 was not letting calls or texts through, but this one works great!

Again as many have said, it may in fact be placebo effect, but I'm getting a much better lock INDOORS now as well. So I'd have to say that it's an improvement.

Ok, great it wasnt just me. I have been on it for 24 hours now and its been pretty damn good. Failed to lock twice now. Radio .50 would fail about 1 time out of 4. This has a ratio of about 1 time out of 10. Much much better for me.

.50 has been the best radio rom for my mogul up to date.

Phone still won't get signal or GPS lock in my college but I wasn't expecting it to. That's all the testing I've been able to do so far :P

i haven't had any reception issues with either, but .40 doesn't randomly freeze the phone like .50 seemed to
