I like the radio stability update. Hopefully that will solve for some of the issues people have had. I wonder when Sprint will roll it out.

right, right, I plan to RUU as soon as I hear it's out so I can see if the reception is really improved at my house with the firmware update for the radio....just won't know it's out because I'm obviously not receiving OTA notifications on LiquidROM (official ones anyway^^).

Anyone heard anything good or bad about this update for the people who got it over seas?
Did it help with their reception issues? Or is it only Sprint M8s that are experiencing this?

i wan't to say its just us since it seems to be issues with spark, s5 owners have similar problems on sprint. Don't quote me on that though :good:

Any news on when this will roll out to US? My data doesn't want to stay connected. CDMA only mode doesn't help. Only way to get connectivity back is to restart the device. Toggling Airplane mode stopped helping.

Try this....first obtain your MSL.
Open your dialer and enter in ##3282#
Hit "Edit Mode"
Type in your MSL
Hit "Advanced"
Hit "RTSP/HTTP Setting"
Under HTTP proxy IP delete what you see there and type in 0.0.0.0
Under HTTP proxy port delete what you see there and type in 0

Reboot the phone and you should be able to stream YouTube. I guess it doesn't like the default Sprint servers, not sure why, but this should work for you. Let us know the outcome.

Thanks I did your suggestion and at the moment I haven't had any problems...

Maybe you have knowledge in this problem too, I bought Talon for Twitter and instagram previews don't load in the timeline. Apparently I am the only having this issue and I don't find anyone on Sprint network to verify if they had the same problem...

No, I'm not familiar with Talon. I'm on Twitter and everything seems fine, not on Instagram though. Is it a Flash file that handles the previews? Do you have an ad blocker running?

Really I don't know about the flash part... I don't have as blocker ...

I have Fenix and with that client don't have the problem...

Looks like there is a new radio that may fix the data and voice connections.

Edit Update: Everything is good to go now, also i just flashed the modified firmware to my device and it worked as expected so this is also good news
