Everyone seems to love the 3.17 radio. I've tried it multiple times and while the connection is good it drains battery horribly. I had 10% in an hour in a half on HSPA+. With the AT&T 2.20 radio I'll get 2-4% an hour. Not sure why.

Same here. The 3.17 radio seems like to switches between 2g, 3g, 4g much quicker than the stock radio (I manually turn on LTE but most of time I am on 2g). With the stock radio I get about 0.9% battery drain at idle. With 3.17 I am getting 3-4% drain!

The beauty of having several options is that if the newest isn't working out for you, there are others that most likely will. The Tmob germany radio is killing my battery as well, so I'm not using it (sticking with the Singtel one which gave me great battery life).

Im trying the singtel today, so far radio on 2g/3g auto is draining just under 1% / hour, which is improved on the german 3.17 and Vodafone 2.41 which were bothi giving about 1.5%.

Anyone have ril for 1.85?

Sent from my Venomized Elemental Evita

They wouldn't play well with any recent ROMs anyhow. The ril version got updated around 1.89 and the new one will work with the older firmware, but something else in the Roms doesn't like the old ril files. I stopped churning out the ril zips because the files have negligible diffs from version to version and the aforementioned incompatibility with older ril versions.

Just flashed the 2.41 radio. In Virginia on AT&T and the battery is much better, and I know it's probably placebo but my phone seems smoother.

    These are flashable zips that will change your baseband (radio firmware). Google it See twistedxx's post quoted below if you have no idea what this means. If you have an HTC One X (Tegra 3) you're in the wrong place.

    Radio = firmware
    RIL(radio interface layer) = driver
    Android = operating system

    All 3 are "programs" that are running at different "levels", I have listed them from top to bottom in the order typically considered for how they interact. It is important to understand that a program is just code and how they interact is a philosophy programmers created and are now use to and not because it has to be set out that way.

    In the case of the RIL, the API rarely/never changes so it is rarely/never updated.
    The actual changes HTC make happen in the "Radio" program.

    This is opposite to how say Windows/Nvidia tackle things. The firmware rarely/never changes and they make their changes in the "driver".
    In Nvidia's case they do this because there is no standard way in x86BIOS/Windows for GPU firmware to be loaded from something as simple as the installed HDD, the firmware is actually written to chips on the card itself. It is just simpler to make all the code that gets changed inside the "driver" which is easily updated.

    For our phones "radio" its trivial for the changes in code to happen at the "driver" level or the "firmware" level, HTC/Google decided they would stick changes in the "firmware". They did this because they created a separate partition for the radio so that they can protect it separately to the OS. Android typically means the phones OS should be open for tweaking, so it must be assumed the driver could easily be replaced.
    Countries and Carriers have licensed spectrum to protect and transmitters must be licensed to use it, running custom radio code would break laws in many countries. This leads to the radio firmware being protected much more heavily than the OS itself.

    It is because HTC is lazy and because we have awesome devs that we can replace the radio firmware at all. As far as HTC, Country communication regulators and carriers are concerned the user should NEVER be altering the radio software.

    Radio:
    radio(fancy code stuff) <-> ril(boring translator) <-> Android OS
    Nvidia:
    firmware(advanced fixed code that allows for flexible access) <-> driver(fancy code stuff and translator) <-> Windows

    Note:
    Radio is about wireless communications
    Nvidia is about graphics processings. They are not similar technologies just some tech you may be familiar with.


    PS. API = application programming interface.. and lets just say if you do not understand what that is.. I cant be arsed trying to explain that, go Google it.

    If you're on the newer HBOOT (1.14) and insist on running a Sense based ROM use the Jet tool to downgrade to 1.09. This will allow you to write to the radio partition of the phone. Or just S-OFF (w00t!)

    If you're running a CM 10.x ROM it doesn't matter what HBOOT you're on as the radio firmware is stored elsewhere (in a writable partition... /system to be precise).

    Instructions:

    1) Copy zip file to SD Card
    2) Boot into Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
    3) Flash
    4) Reboot

    Always take a Nandroid Backup in case something goes screwy!

    Your bootloader will not show the correct baseband. I'm working on figuring out how the RUU updater handles the android_info.txt in the firmware.zip's

    I think maybe the op should add to the op that if you are running the official sense 5 4.2.2 builds, either telstra or tmobile germany, you SHOULD NOT be flashing the AT&T radios in the op, as they WILL cause data drops and reboots. Not quite sure about non-AT&T radios though...

    These are radios for flashing in Sense OR CM 10.x builds after 7/15 nightly!!!. They don't include the RIL files.

    CURRENTLY THE DROPBOX LINKS ARE DEAD, THEY'LL BE BACK SOON (Migrating everything over to dev host to avoid this situation in the future)

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm an idiot)

    Soooooooooooooo Got the new RIL working with something that I thought I'd tried over the weekend (but in fact, did not. Again, because I'm an idiot).

    The zip I'm working on is still a little bloated (there's definitely some libs in there that I just don't need) at the moment, but once I have a chance to remove all the crap that doesn't belong in there we'll have RIL for the 2.2x radios.

    Marginal increase in performance:
