Radios?
Hi, are there custom radios for the optimus s? Ones that i could just flash get better segnal like that, without a whole bunch of annoying extra stuff even though that would be ok... Point is im looking for a new radio to flash on my optimus s and cant find one. Sprint has... not the best service...

I have attempted to run LG's recovery from custom recovery but so far my attempts have failed.Last edited by drewwalton19216801; 07-21-2012 at 06:55 PM.

No, no such thing as a custom radio. Only ones available are sprint issued. Some people have better luck with ZVD and others with ZVJ........ YMMV.

Only thing you can do is change the PRL's via QPST. You could use a custom PRL that uses Verizon towers but there is a risk if you use to much data! Your only allow 300mb of out-of-network data use before sprint starts to take notice (read the fine print of your contract). Originally Posted by williek113

But sprint is also in the process of up grading there towers, and soon should be getting better service once the Vision-Network upgrade is done.Current Device(s): Motorola Droid Razr
