Black Dymond 3.5 giving me very poor battery life any suggestions?

Hi I'm running Black Dymond v3.5
Radio version 1.41.00.10
Protocol version 32.74.7020.18H
And my battery is giving me around 12 hours standby...
There is really bad compated to Windows Mobile 5.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
Or is there a better WM6 image that i can use to give me better battery
life?

Update to black shadow instead?

Hi,
I thought about that. But read Black Shadow gave crap 3G coverage.
I'm on the UK's 3 network and I need 3G for calls..
What do you think? And any news on battery life?

Rather than upgrade the image would updating the Radio version help to RADIO: 1.43.00.00 to save battery life?
Otherwise the image works great...

Whoever posted that really has no idea about how the Hermes works, the ROM has no bearing on reception....the radio stack is responsible for coverage issues. Black Shadow is far superior to dymond as it is very stable and supports the latest SDHC cards as a bonus.
Try updating your radio stack first, give 1.43.00.00 a try.

I'm downloading 1.43 now and see how I get on....
Need to charge the phone though...
I hope it fixes it.... else Black Shadow here i come..
what's up with HTC, release your WM6 image...!!

Radio roms : best minimum radio rom (stable + least consuming) ?

Hi,
On my HTC P3300 i noticed a different radio can be a world of difference in battery life.
There was an older one, which was just stable enough, and my battery was standby for almost 1 full week!
I have the Touch Pro 2 now, and i'm wondering which radio is the minimum and most stable rom with best battery life? I flashed the latest radio here in the topic above, but it consumes reasonable.
Thanks!
Cheers,

All of your radio questions will be answered in the depths of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
The battery usage is dependent on which RILPHONE.DLL has been cooked into the ROM you are using. However, I digress, for all of that information is available at the above thread. Please post future radio questions there

Yeah everyone knows this topic, but it's 90 pages man, this takes ages to read all!
Just want to know someone that tested a lot of radios and knows the minimum required and most stable with less battery consumption.
On Artemis forum there was simply a poll and people voted for best radio or least consumption, and it was correctly, my battery lasted a week!

Basically you have to do your own tests as it depends on the ROM you are using in combination with the radio.
That will give you the results you are looking for, but you have to test several to get conclusions
Let us know your results please

I'd love to know your results as well. I recently flashed the Tmo 6.5, and the radio blows!! I have a helluva time hearing people, it always seems to be breaking up mid-call. I am considering flashing to the radio I had previously, but am not quite sure how well it will play with my current rom.
And yes, that radio rom thread has a million posts and is quite tedious to read.

i use dotcompt's deepshining rom with the radio 4.49.25.17 and i'm extremely impressed with my battery life...i've been up for about 12 hours now and during that 12 hours i've used my phone extensively...i text a lot and play music a lot too. My battery is showing a still solid 60%...not too shabby for a days use

I saw your signature that you are using Rom: Cell Pro V10.1,i think you probably also tried cell pro lite v9.5, isnt this you are looking for? stable and least consuming?

[Q] Latest, safest radio for Telus DHD?

What is the best radio for the Telus DHD? Im having battery drainage issues

bump.
would like better battery life

I would also like to know the Safe radio options for Telus DHD
I have seen a few dotted around and some that are reccommended to gain the best peformance with specific roms (revolution for example) But i know changing the radio can sometimes be risky.
Thanks in advance.
oh and equlizer have you tried wiping battery memory, that worked a charm for me...

yep, battery issues fixed

Glad to hear it!
Ive been trying to find posts with people advising against radio, or recommending the best fit (or general) radio compatibility with the Canadian Version of the Phone but i'm having no luck,,,
So far are the DHD radio's have the ability to be rolled back without issue?
Are there any specific radios that seem to brick the canadian version of the DHD?
does anyone have a definate answer?!

I think it depends on which rom you are using

Hi,
My radio is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and I installed a Stock-rooted Gingerbread ROM.
It came with a radio but I didn't flash it (Mabe I was scared or just wanted to test the ROM first who know...) the fact is since then, my battery life as improved and the radio signal is good enough that I didn't flash it.
(24-32 hours of autonomy with a good use of my device)
Should I think again and flash the new radio anyway ?

Radio (12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M)

I live near Ottawa, but in a lower reception area, and I have been trying radios trying to get a good mix of reception and battery life.
Currently I'm using "Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1" and the corresponding RIL on Leedroid GB rom. It seems ok for now, but if anyone has tried a bunch of radios and can suggest their own best results for us Canadian desire owners, I would be much appreciated!

a fellow telus dhd owner here in edmonton. i'm using the latest radio (check sig) with g ril on cm7 with great results. i was using hm ril's for a bit and the device had very poor performance (calls cutting in and out, slow gps sat lock, wifi/3g sporadic disconnect/reconnect, etc). all that has been remedied by just flashing a g ril instead of a hm ril.
i think it'd be good to remind everyone that matching your radio and ril to your rom type (i.e. sense vs asop) is also important. from what i've read, use g for asop and hm for sense roms. it sure made a difference for me.

Thank you for the good advice. I switched up to the newest radio and ril and they seem the best for me I am still interested to know what others agree having success with here in Canada

I'm a fairly new user, got my Telus DHD (first Android) in the beginning of april, I live in Montreal, and took the entire phone apart within the first week. Tried a whole bunch of roms, then learned the hard way that Sense roms are like beautiful girls in bars at 2 am, they get you excited at first but then it's all disappointment... Lately I've been playing a lot with cyanogen nightlies, and I've been trying to find the best battery life possible.
So far the best I got was CM7.1 RC1 with Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1
That would last me over 35 hours very consistently with heavy use, screen on and lots of data (3G)
I tried pretty much all other radios on the latest nightlies (right now #170) and haven't found anything as good as 26.06.03.24_M2. I am in the process of reflashing that one while on this nightly to see if things will go back to what I had.
When you know your rom (and apps running) are not draining the battery, is the radio/ril the only other variables that affect battery life ? In other words, would the same radio/RIl drain the same regardless of the rom you're using ?
(forgot to mention I flash Alienmind's stuff over that, so I also use LordModUE v6.9.2 kernel and I change the OC to 122min/1.3max and use Brazilianwax (that governor seems so far seems to be the best)

[Q] Which radios are compatible with ARHD 3.2

Hi all,
Just recently rooted my phone, and now using Android Revolution HD 3.2 with the recommended radio (Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M), however my phone reception seems to be worse than before.
I was just wondering which other radio versions are compatible with this rom and are recommended?
I've read that the newest rom (12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test) seems to show great improvements all round, would this be a compatible candidate?
Appreciate your help guys!

Yes, I am currently using ARHD 3.2 with the radio you have mentioned. The 3G seems to have faster internet speed and wifi with better signal. Give it a go, because everyones reception is different depending on your country and area

Thanks for the reply. Flashed the radio to the latest version mentioned but still not getting the best reception.
Would there be any other compatible radio versions I should try out?

You can try any of the radios in the radio thread, but it may just be that your have crap reception in your area.
Anyway, I can't remember the the number but the Cingular radio was always great for me, on various versions of ARHD and LeeDrOiD.

Using this too (on CleanDHD) and I'm very pleased with it. I'm in Oslo as well, although not on Telenor. A friend of mine is also using the same radio on his DHD. It seems to give the best reception over here, (pretty much) regardless of rom.

[Q] CM7 kernel + radio

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kernel (that supports 2way call recording) and a radio (that works well on the vodafone australia network, if they are network specific), as I did a bit of searching but there isn't really any recommendations, eg should I always go with the latest radio etc, or quite what..
Any help would be much appreciated.
I was looking at "LorDModUE V8.5" -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725
I'm unsure which radio though...

Lordmod is definitely a good kernel, and it has a 2-way call recording option
As for radio, I assume you've seen this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
I know that some Vodafone phones are shipped with the 26.09.04.11_M2 radio, so you would assume that Vodafone know what they're doing and have used that radio for a reason. I'm using that one now and it has good reception and battery life (although I'm with Optus. There's only so much a radio can do to help out poor Vodafail )
In the end though, if you're comfortable with the process you should test a couple out because it might be different for your phone

Yeah, ended up running his CFS kernel with 2-way recording.
Yep seen that thread, ended up running 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M for now, just because it has some good reports.
Haha I know, vodafone is terrible, just had a cheap plan which did what I want with the phone I wanted at the time
It's stupid that in UK vodafone is rather good, and alot of other places. *sigh*
Thanks though, may go through and test them if I don't like how this radio goes..

No worries mate. The only reason I'm using my current radio at the moment is because I saw some DHD's were shipped with it here, so I thought I'd give it a go to see if it makes a difference to call quality. I found the 26.13.04.19_M was a bit dodgy on the call quality although battery life was very good. Let me know how your one goes, I might consider another change!

Hi, I am using CM7.1 Stable at the moment. But with stock kernel and 26.13.04.19 radio. I had 26.14.04.28 installed on my DHD before, but found it drains too much battery (I might be wrong through and the culprit could be some of my apps or setting.)
Could you please tell me how it goes in your DHD? Battery life good?
Just want to see if it is the radio or the apps caused battery drain.

I tried the stock one. Works well. The regional stock one.

The battery is draining fairly fast, going to test the stock one you're using against the one I'm using at the moment.

I'm using 26.14.04.28 at the moment and it's the best so far. However, I'm not sure whether with different radio shouldn't come different RIL to prevent battery drains (and where to get such RILs for CM).

An update for you.
My most recent battery tests have had crazy good results. I got an overnight drain of about 0.3% per hour!
The setup is:
Radio: 26.09.04.11_M2
RIL: 2.2.1003G
Kernel: LordModUEv8.6-CFS-b5
ROM: a recent BlackICE KANG
So if you're getting high drain still, you could give this a try. I won't be changing anything for a while, I don't want to lose these amazing results!

No worries. Keep in mind that radios act differently for every location so your mileage may vary. But I hope it's a winning combo for you!

@maatsby, i have the same config like your's, but with the 26.14.04.28M the internet connection is faster than 26.09.04.11M2. I seek issues but don't find. Just the ril in g mode to get in the folder blackice isn't exist imo.
