[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hplappert:
Battery drains rapidly on weak signal

Hello all,

I found that the battery of my XDA diamond drains rapidly if there is no or a weak signal. In this case the battery drains completely in less than 12h! (If there is a strong signal it drains only about 10-20% per day)

Therefore I am considering updating the radio. But I am not sure whether another radio would be better in this respect.

I am considering an update to Radio 1.09.25.23 or Radio 1.11.25.1

Have you any experience with radio and battery life in case of weak signal?

Thanks for any replay!

Hans

Current configuration:

ROM: 1.93.207.2 GER (with recommended Tweak enabled)

Radio: 1.00.25.05

Protokoll: 52.29.25.12.H

I'm suprized also.. this 1.08.25.20 I'll find to be the best radion on my diamond so far. Great battery life, signal GSM pretty stong. I'm on Cosmote Romania.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Between the 2, I personally liked 1.09 better then 1.11 and most the chefs here would agree. If you look at the polls in the first post of this thread, u would see the same results.

Don't forget to Hard SPL your device before performing any flashes...If you are looking for Hard SPL 1.93 Olinex, check my signature...

I flashed v1.09.25.23 and charged the phone from the wall over night, woke up at 7am and the battery was dead by 11am.... I'm sorry but is this a new radio? Should I just go back to v1.00.25.05?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Newer does not nesceserily mean better, try out the rest you will find one that plays nice with your operator, location, ROM and usage habits.

For example Radio v1.09.25.23 might work great for someone else.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nicholas99:
i did find a way to SU the phone. First go to google diamond unlocker and i will find the unlocker that come with 3 folders u can try skip the first step if ur phone already hspl. go do the step 2 and forget the step 3. of coz before u do anything u need to flash back to the first version of the original rom RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1[1].37.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship. Then u flash ur phone with the step 2 from the diamond unlocker u download from and Here u are ur phone will be SU. That what i have done with my phone and now i success flash the new radio. I guess maybe someone can try flash the radio to the old one like 1.00.25.03 and try SU the phone with the step 2 it might work. Seem i got my phone work so i don't really want to try it. Unfortunately i can't put the diamond unlocker here but U will find it when google it. So hope that will help for others just like me been try alot to find a way to SU the diamond. Remember the way i did will not SU the phone permenant so which mean if a new radio come out u have to do the same way to SU it.

i just want to update radio~

what can i do now?????

pls help me ~~~~
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Do it using internal method:

The .nbh file is all you need to flash this. Thus, rename your radio.nbh file to DIAMIMG.nbh

Take this file and place this in your Internal Storage (4GB) as is. Then soft reset and immediately press (Vol. Down + Back Arrow buttons). Hold these buttons until u see a grey screen. Then press power button to begin flashing. Soft reset with stylus and you're done!

but still error~~

1. make sure you have stock radio flashed already. (i.e. not the one that unlocker flashes)

2. also make sure your radio is ON

3. download attachment, extract, put it on your device, execute it

4. it should say relock was OK, and then you're done. if it says error, then reboot, retry, and again make sure radio is turned on (check in comm manager).

sorry~my english is too bad,what is radio is ON meaning?

cloudedhopes, try to restore old radio and rom ;)

About this, I've been using the radio on my signature with very very success on GPS. i don't care much about GSM/3G, it works fine but im most of the times on GSM only to save battery.

Tonight I've tried video-call, and it's amazingly fluid!! Not lags, nothing! Very nice! :D

The GPS, with the pedestrian mode fix, is highly sensitive and precise! I cannot believe this is the same Diamond I've bought 6 months ago, with terrible gps performance at the time!

Until I see some real improvements on WiFi, I don't need a better radio! :D

Change log for radio roms.

This question has been answered so search the forum.

The battery is, for want of a better word "kack" and the only reason HTC didn't opt for a bigger one is consumer demand; so smaller phone = smaller battery = less play time

The less you use the phone the longer the battery will last.

One thing I would like to see on new radio rom release is the change log/reason for releasing a new version. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Surely someone knows what's been changed since the last update.

After second day of use of 1.14 I can only say... I like it! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] colonel:
I have been doing alot of reading and testing.

I have stuck to Diamond designed radios, although I have read about feedback on SU required ones.

These are my conclusions, anyone furiously disagree please say so:

In general 1.00.25.05 and 1.00.25.06 are the most lauded radios and have consistent praise with few complaints.

.06 appears to have the edge with both general testers and myself.

The 1.11 radios in general have better reception but use more battery, which is logical. 1.12 and 1.11 feedback is very mixed and not consistent.

1.08 and 1.09 have some fierce supporters, but as many detractors.

so, for me, the 1.00.25.05 and .06 are the only radio ROMs consistently praised.

.06 has the edge and is the one I am using.

(I am using aztor x2 rom with 1.93 hardspl and have diam200).

At the end of the day, I feel there is not alot of difference, although definitely 1.11.* and 1.00.25.04 or earlier ran hot for me.

Alot will be due to where folk are living and their service provider, making real comparison not that useful, except for folk that have actually tested mutiple radios in their location, and even there the results could be locally relevant only.

I am now using 1.09 as it was recommend for the rom am I using. no complaints although wifi takes longer to lock on the 1.00.06

radio 1.14.25.05 (Raphael).

3rd day. Battery eated.

Ok, lets sum up.

DAY 0: battery completely drained and start charging.

DAY 1: normal use dropped to 76% at 22.00.

DAY 2: normal use dropped to 54% at 23.00.

- recharge -

DAY 3: more used... battery dropped to 46% at 19.21.

Soft reset at 19.24 (wm 6.5 lock crashed) and now is 38%.

Don't know what to say.

Reception/GPS/Call quality/WIFI are great with 1.14... battery life is "strange".

Gonna investigate more during the weekend.

In my opinion best compromise is still the 1.12.25.16 (BS).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] banesi:
depending on network type, for 3G networks go to wcdma and see ServingAGC value, the closer to zero, the better reception and for gsm network go to gsm and watch for RSSI 1 value.

If you see lower than ~ -55dBm values there I guess your base station is damn close, better runaway :)

And i quote:

Radios below can't be flashed unless your phone is security unlocked. This can be done with olinex unlocker. You can tell if your Diamond is security Unlocked by entering bootloader (hold Volume down, while reset). Once there, you will see "Security Unlocked" in the top center of bootloader. You can get a free security-unlocker if you PM Olinex (NOT containing sim-unlock). Until you have security unlocked your phone, you can't flash these radios.

...what about gps?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alfamini:
Running 1.10.25.25 in this moment. Lucky me because I have 2 Diamonds at home and can compare easy.

In my opinion is the radio-firmware also responisible for the values of strength wich are read by the fieldstrengh software. So the radio-firmware could in my opinion give an exact same quality of reception an higher rate ( less dB ) than the value read in an other radio-firmware.

I remember CB-radios where alway was an S-meter wich gave you the signal-strength of the guy you were talking to; a small potential-meter ( variable-resistant ) made that you ( or the producent ) could easily change the values. The signal on the meter was more but the reception-quality stays the same.

In our digitized radio and firmware this could be done also. I think it is real important that we not only test the fieldtest and the numbers but that we serious test under equal circumstances for quality of reception and dropped calls and so on.

To be honest, with all the radios I tried ( original, 05, 08, 23, and so on ) I can say that the later radios seem to conserve some battery, but I still have sometimes dropped calls, people who cannot reach me and so on. At moments like that they can always contact me on my other phone ( very old Nokia 7200 ) on the same network ( T-mobile Netherlands) . The only difference is left or right pocket in my jeans and Diamond or old Nokia!

I still think the hardware is an important issue for this and with new radio-roms we can only hope that our Diamond is gonna perform a little better.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anthony82:
nope, the correct cell is: rank_rscp_1, in 3g reselection (in wcdma group the value doesn't change!)

The perfect signal is near -60dbm (you can say there's no noise), so -70dbm is a really good signal, and -100dbm is a bad signal (a lot of noise).

I'm waiting for some 1.10.25.x results (my diamond is not SU)

If they're really good, I will unlock my diamond! ;)

(but I agree with alfamini...the radios are very very similar...I tried 05, 08, 08.25.08, 08.25.20, 09.25.23...very very similar...se the old topic for my results!)
