other than 2 camera apps,ebay,paypal, foursquare and facebook, i have nothing else.

and notifications has been turned off for all the above.

i tried task killers and they really didnt help much.

i did do a full wipe and battery does last way much longer with data off.

i'm also using the latest m2 radio and underclocked the cpu via setcpu

an advise on which radio would be better?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
Go with the radio suggested in the thread for your rom. If none suggested just grab something different to what your using and try it out.

You shouldn't need to UV the CPU. Mine runs at 1.4 no problem. Let me know how I get on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
Just realised your using a new battery too. The have u tried your old one just incase its a battery problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krwlng:
yeah..the old battery was replaced with a new one by HTC service centres.

i was just reading the radio thread and decided to flash the corresponding RIL for my radio.

i'll try that for a day and see how that works out.

thank you so much for your help and i'll keep you posted
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
you problem is radio related.

flash the suggested radio of your rom.

had the same problem a few days back. 150-250mA idle, when i deactivated my data connection, it went down zo 1-4mA again.

Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzbeans:
I had the same problem, 4 hours of sleep would sometimes see 20% disappear. New radio and kernel did the trick.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
Keep in mind, cell reception is also a varible factors in regards to battery life, but with the situation as precribed it is more than likely to be radio/RIL selection. Also remember that the newest versions of radio and RIL may not always offer the best reception and/or battery efficiency, ideally use the one as recommended by the ROM/Kernel. You may also consider searching the forum for see the recommended versions of radio and RIL to match.

During new flashes of the ROM, under CWM, you can also delete battery stats which should allow a more accurate report of the battery.

Hope it helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krwlng:
thanks for all the info guys

i guess its probably a radio/ril issue.

i'm testing out various ones right now.

anyone using rcmix3d 2.0 got a recommendation for radio/ril combo?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriodLover:
The new telus radio, it's great.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Download Android System Info from the Market. Look out for anything that is using an excessive amount of processing power.

After that, you can see if it is the radio.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krwlng:
hi there

i will try the telus radio soon after trying out the one recommended by the rom dev.

what am i supposed to be looking for in android system info?

batt stats bring me to the default batt stats that is in the android system

Is it still possible to tether using are Dinc. without having to pay the extra service fee?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
you crazy?

yes

I've been using it as my main internet now for nearly 2 weeks since my Cable went out.

Suggested app to use:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

This is the most stable version:

wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk

As always you must be rooted for this to work. Without rooting, tethering will cost you 30$ / month

more backstory:

Google removed that tethering app from the market, likely because of pressure from Wireless Providers. However there are others (barnacle, some flower one that is nearly identical to android tether app). I still prefer the one listed above to those, barnacle never worked well for me and the flower UI was annoying :p

Cheers.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can also still tether for free even without root using the stock app. if you change a setting in EPST.

##778, edit, (code is 000000), MIP default profile, change dun networking from ##########@dun.vzw3g.com to ##########@vzw3g.com. Something like that. That's just from memory. Also still works in the leaked GB ROM. I've done it for some friends that don't want to root, but wanted tethering for free for the occasional use. I use tethering, but don't abuse it or use it very often.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I wonder who pushed through banning some of the wifi tether apps in the market.. The carriers with the "censored" market are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile (Sprint noticeably absent). I can understand why the carriers wouldn't want people having free access to a paid service, but I don't know about Google satiating them and pulling the apps from the market..

But yes, tethering for free is very possible. I've used the built in tethering of CM7, barnacle, and wifi tether, and I'd say the wifi tether app linked to in the first reply works the best. Seemed like the built in tether would crap out after a while, where with wifi tether, it just keeps working and also shows DL/UL speeds and totals.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ed Zachary:
For the past few weeks, if I tried to update "that tethering app" when I got the update-available notice, Market would respond with the "Not Found" message.

Because, well, like you said...

But this morning it updated without a hitch.

Still doesn't show up in a market search, but updates OK now.
[HTC Incredible S] geeti:
I am on Virgin mobile's HSDPA network in Canada. My previous radio is 06.03.03, and the ROM is arhd 1.1.1. The signal strength was -99~-103dbm, and now, it varies between -89~-95 dbm. Increased almost 10db, which is 10 times!! Awesome!
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Which ruu does this radio belong to?
[HTC Incredible S] geeti:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signe d

It seems it's recent released RUU,
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I have flashed the new radio with Unity ROM and I can't tell the difference. Phone works, I have reception and no delay in SMS delivery.

Noting it down as a record for future reference, signal strength at the office desk with this radio is -77 to -89 dBm.
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
I can confirm I have a virgin and the stock radio was ****, is be texting and lose signal cuz my hand covered it, I. Flashed a different ginger bread radio but it helped a lot to
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
Mobile signal does seem higher on average
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
3G reception in my house is pretty poor, but it does seem slightly better with this radio.
[HTC Incredible S] jacobsu64:
singal almost same -91dbm
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
where can i get the RIL with the corresponding radio?
[HTC Incredible S] chris_barsoum:
with previous radios i had delayed texts, this one looks like a winner so far
[HTC Incredible S] geeti:
I extract the ril files from the ruu. I can upload if you want. But I don't have a zip signer so just use adb push.
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
I have also noticed that (and maybe its just me) that battery life seems better with this new radio. So far this is the best radio to date IMO.
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
What region/carrier was this radio being pushed to?
[HTC Incredible S] danial.aw:
can someone upload the ril as well... thanks :) ... also is the process to flash that the same as the radio....
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Just changed to this one from the 06.03.03... Seem to be getting slightly improved signal on both network and wifi... Time will tell when I test the GPS and data in the morning!
[HTC Incredible S] geeti:
Here's the RIL that I extracted from the RUU.

I tried by didn't see much difference. No guarantee that it would do better or worse.

I can't find a zip signer for mac, so it can't be installed via recovery.

Use adb push to put it in /system/lib

Mount /system as rw first.
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Hi!

Gotta say it works like a charm..
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
For Virtuous Unity users, I can confirm the RIL files are the same as those found in the RUU of this radio so we're good to use this radio. I compared their md5 and I'm using 1.26 VU.

Besides, after one day of usage and testing, I found the signal of this radio improves over the 04.03.22 radio especially in 3G. GPS is also very good.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I am using Unity 1.29 and can confirm that these 3 files have identical md5 to the ones on my phone.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
I wonder if someone could give a step by step instruction to update this .

only instructions i found is how to load PG32IMG.zip type files or http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15023458&postcount=6

Have a look at that post or the very first post in that thread.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
The radio in this file seems to be RIL files. does that post apply?
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
What exactly do I put in system/lib ? Is it the zip file or do i need to unzip it. I dont have access to adb at the moment so was just going to put the correct files there using root explorer.

UPDATE extracted the zip, and pasted the 3 ro files into system\lib using root explorer, mounted RW obviously.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
Hi I tried the root explorer option and copied it to system\lib

doesnt seem to have made a difference from from the info

baseband still 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_m

would copying the 3 RIL files this change that second part?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
As far as I know, replacing these RIL files will not change the baseband which refers only to the radio firmware in your phone. You should flash the new radio separately.
[HTC Incredible S] Nicheuji:
My GPS now works much better and no more delayed texts =)
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
does replacing the RIL files upgrade the radio?

it doesnt seem to show the updated radio version when i hold down vol+power to boot up

how do i know its been "updated"

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Replacing RIL files does not upgrade the radio. Radio must be flashed and then RIL files replaced if needed. If you have Unity Virtuous or ARHD rom, RIL files are the same as ones from the new radio base.

How do you know it has been updated? When you go Settings->About phone->Software info, baseband will say something like xxx.06.03.16

Follow either one of these methods to flash the radio:

ah. makes sense.

thank you.

I am using the stock rom. 2.12.405.7

Is it wise to flash to a newer radio?
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Is it wise to flash? You tell me... What is your mentality? Don't fix it is isn't broken or you do it regardless just because you can. :confused:

I flashed the new radio and personally can't see any difference, however people do claim increase in signal strength. You can flash it and if you find it unsuitable you can always revert back to the old radio.
[HTC Incredible S] danial.aw:
can someone re-up the RIL files again... the link seems to be down

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jardicel:
I've been looking on the TF101 forums before I make my final decision as to which tablet I want, so far I'm riding on the Asus wagon. I do see all of these threads about how the Transformer has many issues, and how it's near impossible to get a unit without light bleed, creaking bezel, dead pixel(s), dust problems, random reboots, speaker balance problems, etc... I'm afraid that I may get a unit with one of those problems listed above... Also, I really only want a tablet for gaming, web browsing, multimedia, and social networking... I have no use for the keyboard dock whatsoever, is this the tablet of choice? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Baconstrip:
my tab isn't perfect... some light bleed and random rebooted when wifi is on during sleep. Despite that I absolutely love my tablet and have zero regrets. Just get one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
My unit has zero problems and is not one of the fabled "new skus" either.

With that said, Honeycomb is still really lagging behind iOS in Gaming apps. It's about priorities man.

sassafras
[Eee Pad Transformer General] carlitos66:
I am on my 5th unit, all of them had really bad quality issues ranging from black stripe across the screnn to no volume, no HDMI out, massive light bleed, completely unresponsive screen etc. Today I got the 5th replacement, guess what light bleed and no wi - fi, cannot connect to my home network, so tomorrow when BB open this one is going back. But I am still coming back to this tablet again and again because if it was built perfect it is the best tablet in the world. Unfortunatelly Asus blew it. I am still searching for the perfect one. (actually the working one)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhoenixFx:
Mine is pretty alright. Almost no light leak, but has one dead pixel (or a dust particle under the screen) on the lower left quadrant, not very noticeable, so I don't care.

Even though you see many complaints here, you have to understand that people mostly come here when there are problems; since asus is shipping 400,000 units a month, I’m pretty sure there are thousands more out there who are happy with their tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wokao118:
there are always problems if you are picky enough, i think mine is good enough for me, there are a little bleeding on the bottom but you can hard tell, and also some other minor issues that won't bother me that much. i would say go to a store and try it out first see if you like it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nkhdk:
The only problem I have with mine is the unbalanced speakers, which really is a minor problem. I'm very happy with it, it has completely replaced my netbook. It's great as a tablet and when needed, the keyboards dock makes it a breeze to type on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sheytan:
I wouldn't recommend a android tablet for gaming, if you want a tablet for gaming buy a ipad 2 instead

iOS has way more high quality games and more game that are optimized for a tablet

I have some issues with backlight bleeding
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
I have none of these problems, I love my (B05) Transformer, it's a really great Tablet/Netbook.

I think people read stuff on the internet and then go off and find problems they would have otherwise never noticed. I haven't gone searching for light bleed, or speaker inbalance, but I have never noticed it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diablo67:
Theres no one tablet that doesnt have problems,my dad bought a motorola xoom and has taken it back twice and its like 700 bucks,I'm very happy with my transformer,just remember,it doesnt matter what you buy,there almost always will be something wrong somewhere.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] i n f a m o u s:
The ASUS Transformer is worth every penny at an affordable price. Everyone I know whose seen my tablet commented on how affordable and nice the Transformer is.

My only wish is, I hope SAMOLED IPS screens will be released some time in the near future. Then, I would be completely satisfied. ↖(^▽^)↗
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Self selection bias. You have to keep in mind that most of the people who frequent these forums are here because they want something, even if that is resolving a problem or just an ear to complain to. The thousands upon thousands that are perfectly happy with their tablets arent on forums complaining about light bleed, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ajdalton:
I've had my transformer for a couple weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to start rooting it and really putting it through its paces.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike infinity:
I actually own both the TF and an ipad 1. We are a family of 5 and the ipad was often unavailable so I looked into getting a second tablet. I was considering the ipad 2 but then I decided to go with android.

The ipad is great and there are lots of apps, however the honeycomb tablets are coming along nicely as well. Here are my comparisons...of course ipad is getting an update that will address some of this but then again android will be getting ice cream sandwich as well. So this comparison is for the devices as they are today.

1. We like to take our videos with us on the road.

With ipad I have to transcode everything to mp4...and even then itunes will tell me the ipad can't play them sometimes (even though if I transfer the files with a 3rd party app they work just fine).

With android rockplayer allows me to play 720p .mkv files, etc and no need to transcode. Just copy over and it works. The widescreen video looks alot nicer on the TF as well instead of letterboxed on the ipad.

Also since we have microSD, we can bring alot more video with us for long trips.

2. Easy access to network shares:

-piece of cake on the TF

-pain in the *** on ipad.

3. The tabbed chrome-like browsing experience and integration of google apps is a big advantage on the android platform. Browsing is 80% of what I do on a tablet.

4. Integrated hdmi and usb support on android is definitely a plus.

5. The non-3G ipads have no GPS and no support for bluetooth GPS.

6. Fully customized home screens with widgets on android.

7. Notifications are really well implemented on android. Ipad can't get an update (to copy androids system) soon enough to replace the inexplicably silly notification system they have now.

8. The 32GB ASUS + 32GB sd is much cheaper than the equivalent ipad 2 wifi 64GB.

($720 vs $520)...and that ipad will have no GPS.

9. Splashtop HD has a much higher refresh on the TF vs my ipad...but I assume that would be addressed in the ipad 2.

10. ITUNES...did I mention how much I hate itunes?

APPS go to the ipad though...however USEFUL apps is a much closer race IMO (though still to the ipad).

I did have to return 2 ASUS TFs thanks to light bleed, but my current model has no problems at all.

Bottom line: If I am going to pick up a device to do some reading/browsing/email/calendar...or even to edit some docs on my desktop with the native polaris or with remote desktop...I will pick up the TF every time. My son also prefers dungeon defenders on the TF...but I assume the ipad 2 would have better performance compared to my ipad 1 on this app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Great report
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
i second this. most happy people don't post to this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
I love my Transformer and everyone whos played with it wants one even after I point out a couple problems. It has some light bleed (as does the ipad2) and when stock had an unbalanced left speak which a custom rom seemed to fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xreflection:
I've got no issues with light bleed, wifi works, bluetooth works, case is not that creaky, if at all. Only minor imbalance in speakers, but I bought a portable external speaker so thats not an issue anymore. This is my second tablet. I'm very much enjoying it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Divinedark:
Don't the custom roms correct the speaker imbalance? I guess so...

Edit: Didn't read Leonpr's post before I posted this. hehe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
the latest OTA update fixed this also ... according to my hearing, it's now balanced.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Thank you for pointing this out! I was not aware of this as I was recommending a wifi ipad for my mom because of its simplicity but no GPS makes a lot of apps useless. News Apps that tailor news to location, yelp, google maps, etc. That is a real deal killer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
They're not all that bad. I have a few light bleeds and my bezel is loose in about a one inch area in the upper lefthand corner, but it doesn't really bother me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
I got my TF + dock back on like June 1st and it's a keeper. It has some light bleed but only 1 noticeable spot at about bottom center when on a black screen. Initially it also had very badly balanced speakers, the right one pretty much only worked but after this last update over the weekend it fixed it, sounds perfectly balanced now and louder. The dock didn't work when I first hooked it up, but a simple firmware update for the tablet + dock fixed that and it's been perfect since. I don't have any loose bezel or creaking as I've seen others complain about, and no dead/stuck pixels, sleep of death, etc. Really my only remaining issue I don't even consider an issue anymore is when docked the battery on the dock drains at about 2% per hour when doing nothing, but when undocked it basically drains nothing, but this seems to be common and really 2% per hour isn't bad. I really enjoy the tablet, I use it alot every day, I'd guess between using it at work for music and at home surfing the net in the living room I use it 7-8 hours per day every day since I got it, love it. I charge it via wall adapter once per day usually between like 7-10 PM or sometimes overnight and the lowest it got was after a 12+ hour trip where I was a passenger and I used it most the way there and had 20% left on the tablet after we got there.

P.S. - I also own an iPad 1 since the first month they were released and it is a great device even still but since getting this TF + dock I use the iPad maybe 30 min a week if that, it's mainly used by my children now :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zedmec:
it's a great device

love my TF101 and dock, get one, you'll like it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myamex:
I have a feeling that the issue exists between the chair and the tablet. Seriously 5? What is the probability of someone getting 5 defects?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dumbrill:
'No news is good news' so you'll only ever read about the bad stuff on a forum. I've had my TF for about two weeks ago and its great. I've seen none of the creaking bezel, light bleed issues. Go and buy one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I also second PEBCAK on this post. Sorry, but five units? Light bleed to some extent is normal withi nthe distribution of these units based on what people are reporting. We really don't know if what you're flagging is normal.

Also the inability to connect to your home network cannot be construed as "no wi - fi" or deemed a hardware or software defect. I have a feeling you don't know enough about the problem to make that kind of judgement. Have you tested the device on other wifi networks? Are you absolutely sure your network isn't the problem? I'm not defending the device as a fanboy, I'm the last person to do so and of course these units have some serious QC issues but the inability to connect to your network is not really indicative of an issue with the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
I just did an exchange with amazon because my power button was really hard to push they over nighted me one and this one is perfect almost no light bleed if there is any i dont see it on this one and its all prefectly put togather
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jardicel:
Thanks for your input everybody. I think I'm going to go with the Galaxy Tab though, only because of:

- Better, sleeker design

- Seemingly better build quality

- Lighter weight

Not many reasons, I know :P But I think it will be better as a stand alone tablet, rather than the Transformer. The Transformer is quite a bit bigger than the Tab, and to me that makes a difference, it looks awkward in portrait mode... I do love the custom widgets and button look of the Transformer, but apparently Samsung is going to push out some customizations of their own in an optional upgrade (but knowing Samsung, this will probably be sent out like, 20 thousand years from now).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] haensgn:
