Ok, I'm DOOMED.

I'm doing nothing wrong.

Simply, going to latest radio made my phone eat 100mA battery as mere BASIS.

... doomed, I say !
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
Which program allow to check battery drain in "mA"?
[Desire General] termenk11:
Thanks adam! Testing now the 32.48 im on pinky desire classic.
[Desire General] chareos12:
CurrentWidget

or

OS Monitor (messages tab)

or

"dmesg" in terminal
[Desire General] Ariskos:
Can anyone plz answer me:

I am with unrooted Htc Desire and the latest official radio update I got through "Checking" from settings was the "32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2" and I see that the latest here says that is "32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14". (so I am 4 radios back).

So my questions are:

1) Are these official radios?

2) Do you know if and when will the unrooted desires get the latest radio ?

THANKS!
[Desire General] edgeball:
Currentwidget shows me 168mA all the time

I'm usin LeeDrOiD 2.1 with the 5.09.05.30_2

No solution yet for drain issue after flashing radio file?
[Desire General] LifeMan85:
Hi! Anybody can say to me, where i can see articles about battery life/performance and wi-fi model support list?
[Desire General] loydcheung:
settings>phone information(at the bottom) and you will see what you mentioned.
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
hi. currentwidget is reporting to me 266mA with latest OD and 5.09.05.30_2 radio with wi-fi on and 3g on.

on idle, screen off it reports 5mA. phone has been unplugged for 8.5 hours and 7 hours in flight mode. battery has dropped 5%.
[Desire General] chareos12:
Hi ppl,

anyone knows if flashable RILs go overwrite part of the flashed ROM ?

... and in turn, gets overwritten and destroyed when a new ROM is flashed ?
[Desire General] ryanrich:
How can you have WiFi and 3G on at the same time? Doesn't 3G go off once you enable WiFi, in which case it means that 266 is with WiFi on? Mine is using 3mA with the screen off, and around 260mA with it on but not doing much...
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
i mean 3g as a function, not as service. i haven't toggled off from settings, hence 2g only.
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
with latest radio i hd major battery drain and a very unstable signal reception. that is why i went back cryin to 30_2 radio. lol.
[Desire General] ryanrich:
Yeah it's strange how the radio's have different performance across different ROM's and phones, so you have to kinda find the sweet sport for your specific device...
[Desire General] titus1:
After a clean flash on v.31 & .32 I've notice that the free space on internal memory is just about 106mb. Are you getting the same number?
[Desire General] redlabour:
Works - see my Signature for more Infos.
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
??

Beyond belief!

In my HTC: idle (3G off, wifi off) - about 3mA

wifi on - 66-67mA

Pleas repeat Your test :)
[Desire General] EViollet:
I can confirm this.

OpenDesire, 3G Off, WiFi Off (using JuiceDefender) - 3-4mA

3mA with WiFi on seems quite unbelievable...
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
How many mA have You got with wifi on?
[Desire General] EViollet:
Between 18 and 36. I'd say average 30mA
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
WIFI in Advanced Preferences on NEVER?
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
guys i get on idle with wi-fi on 236mA. is it a bit to much or is it my idea?
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
atleast this is what i get reported. my battery with moderate usage last about 1.5 to 2 days.
[Desire General] EViollet:
Yes.

WiFi signal quality 2/4 bars
[Desire General] ryanrich:
You guys must have something using data in the background then. My phone uses 3mA in standby normally, and with WiFi on and connected to my router it uses 5-6mA in standby.
[Desire General] smarty213:
Exactly my thoughts too. Maybe some apps are updating/refreshing in obscene high frequency, or even force a permanent online activity. I was thinking of Facebook, Stocks, Weather, Twitter/Peep/etc, games, and so forth.

I´d check that, if I´d be affected.
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
Pleas explain me that, why some people in standby with wifi on, has

got only 5-6 mA??

What's ROM and RADIO?

I synchronize only google.
[Desire General] Ditcha:
Cheers improved my signal by %80 could not get a signal where my laptop was now I get 3 bars Happy Days
[Desire General] georgemv:
The same here.

5-6mA with WiFi on and assosiated with a WPA2 AES AP.

Branded Orange PL [ polish ] Desire with simlock removed

Hello I've go HTC Desire from polish Orange - a few weeks ago i've unlocked it by code which i bought on e-bay.

Now I wonder if it is safe to go froyo and upgrade to new radio (eg bravo-radio-32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip) without getting locked to orange again and/or permanently :confused:
[Desire General] mercurycc:
5.11.05.14 works great on my Telus HTC Desire without updating RIL. Unlocked stock ROM 2.10.405.2.
[Desire General] mercurycc:
I remember the unlock is permanent, meaning that you have no way to lock it again.

I could be wrong.
[Desire General] EViollet:
As I wrote, my WiFi signal quality is rather low.

I'll give it a try tonight while being closer to the AP. Consumption should be much lower...
[Desire General] shoemeistah:
4 mA here, but I'm on a sense rom

Sent from my HTC
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
I have 4-5mA in my home - router syslink with tomato - in my work I have about 60 mA - syslink with native firmware. Why that?
[Desire General] EViollet:
I'd say signal strength.

At work, I have approx. 30mA, with a very mediocre signal strength.

At home, I put the phone beside the AP, so very strong signal, and I got approx 5-6 mA.
[Desire General] georgemv:
I get 5 mA no matter what. It must have something to do with the powersave features of the APs. There are powersaving WiFi extensions that some APs implement and some not that allow the clients to sleep for time intervals.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Quick question.

Can I now extract the radio.img from the zips and flash via fastboot? Using fastboot flash radio radio.img ?

Also, what is an RIL?
[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
At work and at home I have identical strong signal.
[Desire General] sattapaal:
awesome. well better than the last. battery lasted 2 days!
[Desire General] church473:
hey guys, i just had a look on my locked and branded orange desire that the baseband version is 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30.

i remember there being some issues with the radio when rooting the orange branded and locked desire. does anyone know if that is still the case?
[Desire General] robkeevil:
Moving from 44 to 48 has boosted my signal nicely, roughly two bars extra in most places. I can now send messages anywhere in the flat (previously only in a couple of rooms), seems to have made a real world improvement. Cheers!
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Uhm Can anyone advice me which radio would have the best wi-fi performance? Currently on OpenDesire my Wi-Fi breaks every 25 minutes or so
[Desire General] _JuSteR_:
I have an issue with the latest radios: if hsdpa is enabled I cannot send any sms. If I want to send a message I have to disable the internet connection.

Have you ever experienced something like that?

[Desire General] ticalo:
Having the same problem for a long time now. Had a really good battery first. Than I flashed a new radio that had a massive drain. Reverted back to stock and had the same drain. Anyone here with a fix?
[Desire General] senis1:
Does version of radio affect Bluetooth? If I change radio, may I hope the problem of muted microphone of Parrot 3200LS bluetooth car kit disappear?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
bluetooth is controlled by the radio rom yes, however flashing a newer one does not mean all your bugs will be fixed, but its worth a try.

5.09.00.20 to 5.11.xx.xx ?

Good afternoon guys,

Here is my settings :

Running the awesome Neophyte Mod 1.8 Sense-Froyo FRF91 (2.06) and flashed the radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

Here is my data :

full load then after 10hours and 30 minutes => i got 63 % on battery so 37 % drained on.

42% were used by the radio ( inactive device )

*device turned ON since 39hours and 35 minutes

*device active for 3hours and 48 minutes

[ GPS off/ Wifi off / 3G on ]

Did someone already experimented which is the most suitable radio for this ROM on the htc desire ?

Do you know guys if it is really interesting to upgrade to the latest 5.11.05.14 or one between ?

Thanks for your attention and your time.

I wish you a great day

Just tried the latest radio and I think the overall performance of the phone has improved. Seems snappier a bit. 720p video is still crap.
[Desire General] GonsioR:

[Desire General] senis1:
Any rom means any FROYO based rom, or any rom ECLAIR or FROYO based?
[Desire General] l0nEr:
hey. Im on the 5.11 radio and pay's rom.

On standby mode, it uses 3-5mA. But when data is on, and im surfing net or just using paperdroid. It goes up to 300-500mA. Is this normal? It seems to me that my battery is draining 1% every 3 mins when i use the data. Thanks
[Desire General] harvestdroid:
It seems many people suffering this problem, including me..

And now it seems i cannot undo this problem, no matter what radio version i flash..the problem still exist, and i'm still looking for the solution..anyone?
[Desire General] frantacech:
Where you see uses 3-5mA, please? Any app?
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
This radio rom(the latest) is buggy as hell. i could not even get to boot my device after update.

i would perosnally avoid this radio until its more stable.
[Desire General] :
Try currentwidget.
[Desire General] baumi1899:

[Desire General] BumAround:
It's the ROM, the kernel it's built on.

No matter which radio you're using, it won't be any difference.

Try an extended batt if such thing exists...

Other than that, a smartphone is a smartphone, more horsepower means more battery-eating machine, can't help it. :)
[Desire General] deskmat81:
Is it possible to flash an older version coming from the latest? If yes, in your opinion which is the one with best battery life/signal strength trade-off?
[Desire General] TieT:
ive been using it , since the day it came out.

The only thing i noticed is that me range (3g) isnt so good like the radio before.
[Desire General] Ain_Soph:
Can you please give me some info on which radio version to use with LeeDroid ROM? Key factors:

- Battery life

- WiFi speed etc.

- Camera quality

- FM radio quality

thanks

I couldn't get my GPS locked with Google maps even when I was running GPS Test app. It did lock eventually but it was loosing it at any smallest obstacle or even next to bigger buildings. That just sucks.
[Desire General] simian60:
The latest (32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14) seems to have cured the constant drop outs when using a2dp in the car. The previous version couldn't play more than 20 secs of audio.

In fact this one works just like the original radio used with Éclair...

EDIT: spoke too soon - just as bad as the last one. Everything else seems to work tho.
[Desire General] iinga:
For those with GPS problems, try resetting the aGPS state in GPS Status:

Menu > Settings > GPS & Sensors > Manage A-GPS State > Reset
[Desire General] TieT:
its worth noting that gps status is a program from the marketplace and not a default program.
[Desire General] VK7HSE:
I recently read a howto on the T-Mod (mod of LeeDrOiD for Telstra) site that mentions gas status as a utility for speeding up acquisition time, I'm assuming its doing a combination of getting your general location from your carrier, then getting satellite keps for the gps birds... either way it does work!

My initial lock took nearly 3 minutes, but only 30 seconds and less on subsequent tries... gotta be happy with that!
[Desire General] TieT:
Thats because gps status can download a hemispheric file.

In that file, there is info on the current location of gps satellites.

With this info the gps module can connect faster ;)

its like all gps devices work, except a htc desire :p
[Desire General] kai84m:
Im on 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 with Leedroid 2.2a right now and its working great without the RILs (dont know which RIL version is included in Leedroid).

GPS fix is really fast; tried it and i was at an accuracy of 6m in less than 5 sec. (Google Maps)

I lost 20% of battery during the last 11 hours with a couple (around 30 min.) of calls, surfing all synch and BT on!

For me the best combination at the moment.
[Desire General] harvestdroid:
Yup, no matter i used..it always the same, also tried changing roms..nandroid etc..

maybe i should buy an extended battery, or a new spare battery? :D
[Desire General] ashujaku:
I just tried, this new ROM, lets see if it did anything. I hope gps will improve since it didnt ever get a fix. (only once)
[Desire General] gaspx:
+1 for the 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 Radio (with LeeDroid 2.2a as well, as it happens!)

I had been using 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 for the past month and here are my (non-scientific) observations after upgrading to 5.11.05.14:

3G: Better. Maintains a good 3G (HSDPA) connection in places I was reverting to 2G on the previous radio.

GPS: > 1 minute for fix (including indoors/moving car)

Bluetooth: Pairing and more importantly reconnection works 100% perfect with streaming audio and headset connection. Definite improvement on previous radio where the phone connection would say it was connected but my car head unit thought otherwise...

Also, be aware that if you're streaming audio and using navigation, the audio will stop streaming to output the navigation information, but it will not automagically restart the audio again - I don't think this is radio specific, as I don't remember this function ever working to be honest..

Battery: IMHO, getting slightly better battery life when leaving BT constantly on (but disconnected) using around 1-2% per hour. Under constant WiFI usage for streaming video it doesn't seem to have such an impact on battery either.

As ever, different radio versions work for different people, these are just my observations on my phone in my area (which has good 3G coverage).. :)
[Desire General] cruzler:
Hi all,

I wanna ask..

I try to Update my Radio, i use AmonRa as recovery mode.. i already put the 32.48_5.11.05.14.zip file to my SD card, i flash it from recovery mode.. till it done, n says "Reboot with vol-up+vol-down or menu" so i press trackball (which is in reboot choice by it self) n menu..

It's installing, n come back to the recovery mode.. it show status "Formatting cache.." but it seems doesn't do anything, cause i can chose a choice menu.. i wait, nothing happen, so i try to press reboot.. n it reboot normally.. n i can see if the radio firmwire already update in "about phone" menu..

Is it, normal? cause i little bit scared when it says "Formatting cache.." n nothing happen..

Thanks a lot..
[Desire General] Peikko:
It is normal. After the "formatting cache is done" you can reboot your mobile and use it. Check your settings. It should list the new radio.
[Desire General] l0nEr:
me too! it seems to be getting worse now. I have switched back to the 5.09 radio but its still draining much faster than before. Changing rom doesnt seem to help. Tried recalibrating, wiping the battery stats. Didnt work either.

Dont have any problems with this combination ether, on contrary I got very fast GPS-fix even in a driving car and switching from Wifi to 3G and back and 3G to Edge works great. I use the stock RIL's.

Also battery time is great. Even with excessive use I have one complete day of battery!
[Desire General] cruzler:
It didn't says "done".. but i can chose the menu, i wait n nothing happen.. so i press reboot then.. fiuh..

But in this 2 days with a new radio, there's no problem shows up so far.. well, i think it's fine after all..

Thanks sir.. :D
[Desire General] dinoalbert:
May I ask how do I check my device' Radio version? Sorry Android newbie here...

EDIT...found it...is it the Baseband version in "About/ Software Information"?

I have 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Would you guys recommend me flashing to the latest version? is Radio version not dependent on your location (i.e. Asia, Europe, etc)

Thanks...
[Desire General] Gaborel:
me 2, i have the same radio version on 2.2 froyo, should i update? (htc desire unlocked, unrooted)

battery life-time extremely poor... i've listened the radio on my way to work... about 40 minutes, i unplugged my phone 6 hours ago,

left it charging over night, and now i have 45% left... i barely make it through HALF of a 24h day.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
You should not really ask if you should update, its a personal issue. Look at the list and work out how old your radio is and then decide if you want to update it.

newer radios usually give you more benefits but not always, however you can always downgrade to another if you want.

So flash a new one, see how it goes for a week or so, then if you don't like it flash back to the one you were on before (or close to)
[Desire General] Gaborel:
i have to root it first right?
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Yes you can't flash anything in an update.zip format (or anything that is not an official rom) without having a custom recovery, which first requires root.

UnRevoked will both root and install a custom recovery for you.
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
Hi Guys,

I am running the latest Defrost ROM on my Desire and using the latest Radio however my GPS will just not get a fix and my battery life is poor in my opinion. Could someone please recommend a different version for me to try either from experience with using Defrost or experience with the specific radio version?

I am from South Africa if that matters.

Regards

[Desire General] lcdc:
Hi,

I try to flash latest radio, but withou success...

I have LeeDrOiD_V2.2d_NoA2SD rom, rooted of course.

Try it over rom manager with clockwordsmod recovery 2.5.0.7, nothing happend.

Try it over r5-desire-root, nothing happend.

I have still 5.09 radio.

What I`m doing wrong?

EDIT: Got it, it was my mistake, renamed radio file to update.zip :) , when renamed to radio.zip , flash is ok

Thanks a lot...
[Desire General] Zhypr:
I reverted back to the 30_2 radio, but does anyone have the associated RIL files for this? I now have the 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 RIL.
[Desire General] Delphineuni:
Hi,

I'm a bit lost as to where to post this, I thought this might be related to radio :confused:

I've had problems with calls dropping when in 3G, I've used WCDMA preffered and GSM auto (PRL), both staying on 3G even when the signal threshold drops lower than the 1st bar.

When I receive or make a call, the phone won't drop to 2G and will just end the call for lack of signal, then it will drop to 2G.

Anyone knows why and/or has a solution to this?

I'm on SFR (Vodafone french name).

Thanks.
[Desire General] anark1:
are these radios fine to use with a desire from telstra Australia, running on the telstra network, flashed with 2.2a tmod?

i will be attempting

32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 later tonight.

phone is currently running 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11

which sounds like it may be a quite old.

Edit: am now running 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, updating the radio was dead simple.
[Desire General] CrimzonEyed:
Notice any difference?
[Desire General] col_col83:
not to answer for anark1, but i'm running 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 on the telstra network in a fringe area and have no issues. battery and network performance are much better than stock (i.e. can send messages and make calls inside flawlessly, get at least 48 hours with low-medium usage).

oh, and running LeeDrOiD_V2.2a. i'll get around to flashing V2.2e this weekend... maybe.
[Desire General] boomam:
Hi,

Can anyone answer me this:

I've just rooted my phone using unrevoked, still using the stock unrooted ROM for the moment though.

I've been trying to work out what the relationship is between ROM and radio version compatibilities.

Am I correct in thinking that I can use the update.zip for the latest radio on my current phone and everything will continue working correctly, and allow me to faff with ROMs without having to worry about radio versions? And continue with my current ROM if needs be?

Or is there more too it than that?

Also, my phone is an orange one, using a debranded ROM, and has been unlocked....if any of that makes a difference. Lol.

Thanks in advance all.:-)

Hello Been following xda-developers forum for a week now

such awesome folks in here with awesome mods

Got my desire sometime ago and was waiting for TELUS OTA Froyo update but as soon as they delayed it I said screw it and took matters my self :p

So I just rooted like 30 minutes ago and decided to update my

radio from: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

to: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Using clocwork recovery

it was successful and got it to run fine

Im in the basement right now and with old radio it was moving from 1-2 bars (0 bars in intervals) now its solid at 2 bars!

yet to test gps, and battery life as its charging right now

im a novice at this and me telling people this is quite strange lol

now I need pros' input for this:

should i reset my battery? how to do it? and recalibrate it?

thx.
