    Backup your apps and factory reset the device Restore all your backups Sucks, I know, but who knows what other spyware stuff this thing could have installed You did agree to its terms by installing, but you have no idea what they were monitoring

    new phone dropping signal, is it rooted?

    If you goto Settings -> System Update Can you do an update Firmware? Your other option is to take it into a Sprint store and they can do an update. Even if you don't have warranty on the phone, if you are not getting good signal, they need help you update the phone to resolve the issue.

    MD4 OTA Nag

    You can also bypass this by just flashing the modem/radio updates from XDA threads. I'm running MB1 rom with the MD4 modem/radio - no issues and I get good signal with this combo.

    Edit the Ringtone list after deleting system ringtones?

    In older roms, if you deleted the ringtones from the ringtones folder under system/media, the list would auto-update. I'm running rooted MB1 and when I deleted a bunch of the system ringtones (because they are lame!) the list still shows them. Are they hard-coded somewhere? Someone know how...
