I have a Hermes Cingular 8525, running radio version 1.41.00.10. I have been on this ROM/radio for over 2 months, and everything was fine. Within the last week I installed some programs and noticed my phone would "Constantly" broadcast to the cell towers. (I'm not sure how to explain that, but when you have your phone next to speakers and it makes that buzzing GSM noise. Mine does this every nearly every minute)
So is it possible one of these programs intentionally messed up my radio to constantly broadcast???
Now also at the exact same time I noticed the Cell Towers names changed from Cingular/3G Cingular to AT&T/UMTS AT&T. Is it possible that during this tower change they are causing phones to broadcast more frequently???
I don't know how this technology works, does the phone send out the broadcasts or do the cell towers request the broadcasts???
So my main concern is the battery drain, because my phone now drains overnight. I tried doing a hard reset and its still occurring. So my conclusion is its either the radio or the cell towers.
