Radio 1.09.25.23 drains battery

[ianchi]

Hi, I have recently installed the new HTC_SPA_2.03.412.2 rom wich cames with Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23, and now the battery life has been reduced to less than 6hrs in stand by and it is heating a lot (previouslly it only got hot and with poor battery life when WIFI was on)

I have a US Diamond originally unlocked phone and here we have 850/1900 band.

Has anyone had similiar experience? Wich radio do you recomend?

Thnks

I'm not sure but may be I'm living same problem its draining. I'm not sure because I started to use push mail same time with this Radio.:confused:

Pushmail+3G is really a horrible battery drain in general. No wonder. Data connection is up all the time and a PING is sent every 15 seconds from push server (if you use Z-Push as I do).

Option A: disable 3G for most of the time. If you surf enable 3G.

Option B: use 1.08.25.20 which gives me the best pushmail + 3G battery life so far. I always go back to 1.08.25.20

P.S. I think most people from the radio thread aren't using pushmail. So I would take their battery life tests with a huge grain of salt.

No, absolutely no battery drain.
(not more than others)

Here in Europe (Netherlands), same radio ver and Z-Push with 3G on.
If I do not receive / make calls I can _easily_ get 48hours out a full charge.

If I turn 3G off (as I also do most of the time) I can get 2 days without recharging even with busy work days (SMSing and calling quite a lot).

If your diamond is also generating a lot of heat, I'd say it isn't the reception or radio, but a process / program on the ROM is using the cpu at full strength all the time... then the battery won't last long whatever you do.

If I run TomTom on the battery (full time CPU and GPS usage) with the phone turned off, I can drain my full battery in 2 hours :).

the radio works fine for me, and if you use push mail of course the battery will drain much faster...

what is push mail? download email with pop3?

you're very right dude
I went to Option B, battery performance is awesome, about 1,5 - 2 days.

Same here [Europe, HSDPA, Exchange mail sync always on]: awful battery life with 1.09.25.23 on the last Dutty and new PDACornerIllusion v.3 ROMs.

I usually go back to 1.08.25.20 after each new radio test but this time running 1.11.25.1 for the last few days and so far very happy with both signal level and battery life.

for me too , best radio for Romania

[altcineva2009]

same here, 1.09 it's pretty good, with normal usage i can get to 3-3,5 days.
(some wifi, some push mail, sms & calls) but not through 3g, i've turn it off..

Romania/Vodafone

[Dr.Tenma]

it drains battery rly fast...with high usage:listening musi for about 2hours with volume set to max, surfing internet during 30minutes, sending some sms...without 3g, then its down !

[altcineva2009]

tomorrow it's my 4-th day, and yesterday i've listened to music like 30min, and sms/call /wifi , today i used the wifi like 30min, voice like 20min, am 5 sms...

[Dr.Tenma]

@altcineva2009 : What rom are you using ? Where do you live (country) ? And is your 3G set to ON ?

[altcineva2009]

i see they got some problems with the forum.

i'm using the latest official rom, country: Romania, operator: Vodafone, 3g is off, i turn it on only when i need it

I'm suspecting that this radio (1.09.25.23) is not a quad band radio, and it does not support 850MHz band. Open your dial pad and dial *#*#364#*#* and look at the "Band" field, it should show either "3: 850" or "2: PCS" (1900MHz band)

I have 1900MHz towers around my place in South Bay Area, but the signal is significantly weaker than the 850MHz ones. The end result is that it drains the battery faster.
