I downloaded it last week and just fastbooted the GA02 radios to go with my CM10.1 builds. The combo has been running fine. I might actually flash the full GA02 build when I have the time to see if the battery draining GPS lock bug in most of the 4.2.1 roms is fixed.

 

That's the only thing I hate about the 4.2 cm10 builds is the GPS bug. Its not the fact it won't lock on. Its the point it won't STAY LOCKED.

Do you have the GPS Status app? I had the same issue when I first flashed 4.2. I was able to fix it by cycling GPS on and off then downloading the AGPS data. I haven't had any problems since. Just flashed 4.2.1 2 a few days ago and everything is still working fine.

Have to try that app thanks a lot.

Got the update yesterday. So far I have seen a precisely 0% RF performance change. Battery life seems to be somewhat improved, however.

 

The new features are not really there for me, but the improved battery life (if it keeps up and is not just an anomaly) is welcome.

I have seen a negative in RF performance overall. I had more dead spots than I used to. I'm taking my phone in to Sprint tomorrow. :(

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
