Assume you mean recommended Radio, not rom, it being 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2. I was using that on CM7 and noticed a slight improvement in battery life, but more importantly it was not worse (didn't notice any improvement either) for reception, and as it's the one Lee recommends I'd run with it.
BTW I am currently running 26.05.05.27_M3 which is the latest Orange radio, again I have no issues with this either.

question says it all. ive flashed quite afew roms on a telus samsuing galaxy s fascinate and quite afew on a htc desire but i never understood what flashing a radio did so ive always avoided doing it [and the rom still works mint]. what are the postitives and negatives of new radios?
Ever thought of actually searching rather than asking silly questions??
Positive is the possibility of better reseption and battery life(you should be able to find better descriptions quiet easy), negative is the total brick if you do it wrong.
What radio/smallband and rom are you on now?

if that is the baseband im on 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
As Theghost said, some radios will increase your battery life and give better reception or a faster GPS lock, others drain battery a bit more. I've been running the newest radio for a while now with Oxygen RC7 and my battery life has been pretty awesome. Great reception too. It's very easy to flash a radio too, you can do it from Fastboot or from recovery (unless you're using a HBOOT that doesn't have enough space for flashing from SD).
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)
Hi All,
I have a rooted Desire HD with Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. I am running the latest Gingerbread Coredroid ROM on the UK T-Mobile network.
The radio on my phone is Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M.
I have no issues with signal strength, wifi, etc.
Is there any benefit to flashing my radio to the latest recommended one: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
I have read all the threads an know how to do it, I am just not sure what the benefits are and whether they outweigh the risks.
Thanks
Andrew
If your present radio is working fine without any problems I wouldn't recommend flashing the new radio

+1, just bear in mind if your not radio s-off and it all goes pear shaped you may not be able to downgrade
Thanks for your replies.
Well my curiosity got the better of me and I flashed the radio. I used the method described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
I had a problem at first getting the "adb reboot bootloader" with an error message coming up saying "adb server is out of date. killing...". The answer was to kill adb.exe in task manager. It all worked fine after that.
I will have to wait and see if I notice any difference. I have a full strength signal currently.
My understanding is that the radio firmware manages and controls the wifi, bluetooth, cell radios and other low level hardware functionality.
When someone designs a ROM, it makes sense for them to pick a radio and stick to it unless they have obvious issues, as a different radio version can introduce a wide range of variables into how the phone runs.
So, there may not be anything better or worse with an different radio (although with some there definitely are) but the point is, your experience with the ROM should more closely match that of the designers.
That generally means faster, more efficient, and if you have any bug reports, they'll be taken far more seriously.
I've been running the new radio for a few days now and no problems at all. I honestly can't say I notice any difference in the signal strength, but in collaboration with Coredroid V4 the battery life seems very good.
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.
Atm i m using the radio 26.08.03.07_M and it s working superb!

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.
Which Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM will give me the best battery life on my phone ?
They are all much of a muchness really. However in my experience, LeeDroid has always been good as has ARHD, however LeeDroid appears to no longer be supported but ARHD is, hence it's what I run.
With minimal usage I can get about 35-40 hours use.

Another vote for ARHD
I'd say RCdmix Runny 4.0 which is quite good

I get pretty much the same on all of them
but using CM7 with Lordmods undervolting gave me good results
As with any rom what works good for me may not work for you. Some people like CM7, i use ARHD 6.2.0 and get great life etc.
Try each and see which u have better luck with..

Sense ROM's really use much power compared to AOSP ROM's, with ARHD I achieved a max battery life of 24 hours, and now I can easily achieve around 36 hours and sometimes even 48 hours or more.
But if you really really want Sense, then I recommend ARHD
Virtuous Affinity 1.48 or ARHD 6.2.0 in my opinon both have great battery life. With Virtuous I easily achieve 48 hours during normal daily use.
So I flashed Virtuous Afinity 1.48
Regarding the kernel/radio... do I need to do anything or does flashing a ROM include everything ? What radio would you recommend ?
EDIT:
i am using the radio version 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M (from previous stock version)

for each rom, there are different radio recommendations since every rom is running on different version of gingerbread, you should ask this from the OP of the thread. Or just use the latest radio.
I would personally recommend you a MIUI rom since it is light, no pre installed shyza and gives you around 450mb+ free ram, decent battery life and an eye candy theme. Fully customizable from icons to lockscreen, statusbar to bootanimation e.t.c.

You know what you should do? Flash a ROM in yr DHD and never use it. I guarantee you that you ll have the best battery life then (independent of which ROM you flash!!)
Best for me Blackice rom!! Awesome battery life and damn fast....
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Unless you try them and make your own assumption then there is no guarantee on what ROM has the best battery life.
Usage is extremely subjective and varies from user to user.
