Hi all.

Just adding a small post to add my 2 cents...

I decided to try out the latest radio yesterday. It gave horrible results with the battery during several hours and now seems to have stabilised. I am now having the same kind of battery performance as I used to have with my previous radio.

So my feeling is that the radius are indeed equivalent in terms if battery usage and that they need a few hours/ days to settle down...

Regards

I tested all radios. Recently radio: 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 and 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. CurrentWidgets on few hours and:

- 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 in idlle (wifi ON, 3G off): about 4mA,

- 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 in idlle (wifi ON, 3G off): about 4mA.

The results are the same. I think, the battery drain does not depand on version RADIO - that is our imagination :)
[Desire General] Latty:
You have to test in an area with low reception (I tested @ -110dBm) in order to see tangible differences...
[Desire General] BumAround:
Your imagination, perhaps....:rolleyes:

+1 Yup. In bad/poor signal areas and how long a batt will last with exactly the same usage profile, that's how you test a radio version.
[Desire General] kameha:
Hi all !

This is weird... I've just installed CurrentWidget and I'm with 3G on i'm way far from 4mA (it goes from 32mA to 287mA !!!)

What's wrong with me :( !!

My Radio is 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 on an OpenDesire 4.0.36
[Desire General] serverless:
Any news about the RIL for the latest radio?
[Desire General] jmelhus:
Even with the phone in standby mode?
[Desire General] kameha:
I've rebooted my phone and it's getting better.

back from standby mode, i've just got a 4mA, then launched PowerAMP it jumped to 237mA, then stopped it and back to 66mA.

I switched to Airplane mode and it rised to 288mA and stood there until i switch back to normal mode !!
[Desire General] hshah:
I flashed to 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 because people said it has good battery life and now my data connection won't turn on :(
[Desire General] mark1316:
strange ? I been on that Radio for ages and never had an issue
[Desire General] mark1316:
Guys I think you need to understand that it takes a few boots and in some cases a few days for the radio to settle down. Its as if it learns the way the phone is used ? I also find that clearing the battery stats after a new radio seems to speed the process up a bit ?.
[Desire General] jmelhus:
Hi!

What was the mean current draw on each radio version?

Interesting to know how much there is to gain...
[Desire General] jmelhus:
double post
[Desire General] Radikaal:
Would be even more interesting to see real measures with phone in USE tbh, ive done this on serveral roms (not on radios, maybe will thought) and in idle they are almost always the same, but its in use power usage u can really see differences and thats from where u get the gains that really benefit you irl.

I also found .49 to be a bit worse then .44 in idle (not 100% accurate ofcourse) but for example put phone on charge for 5hours when sleeping, when i woke up phone was down to 94%(!). This is very very bad for me as i always before have 98-100% when i wake up depending if i sleep 5 or 12hours :D, usually have very small drain in idle and sleep as i put phone data off and got full reception. I also found this at work, around 2-3% per hour draw without using phone (and with data off!), when using phone thought drain was normal. Normally i have 0.5-1% per hour with same settings.

Recepetion i also found no improvements at all in, actually found myself having 0-1 reception for many hours on 3g and when i forced 2g i got no connection at all! so i had to flash back to .44 so i could be reached, dont know if reception changed much because i changed place (about 15m) and didnt find myself with no reception much after that.

So only about 10hours of testing from me with exactly same usage as ive done last 3weeks made me impression .44 is more stable for me.
[Desire General] kurt666:
the newest radio is very nice, my battery drained 4% in 10 hours. i am using Open Desire 4.0.37.
[Desire General] blader:
5.11.05.27 seems to have a problem with holding a GPS lock in heavily built up areas, London has not been a problem with previous Radios but today after flashing the new one CoPilot was losing location and putting me in the wrong roads A LOT! :-(
[Desire General] Serpente80:
WUT ???!!

I can't believe ... maybe in offline mode ??
[Desire General] Latty:
Around 4-8mA for 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30, and 6-10mA for 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.

YMMV.
[Desire General] arashi:
just thought - radios ending with even numbers are more stable than odd (:

Tried both radios 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 & 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 and

verdict: 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30 works better for me interms of battery and reception.

[Desire General] tomurbanowicz:
The RADIO is in the newest official ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828519
[Desire General] jmelhus:
Thanks for the info. I still wonder. Why there is so much to gain from 6mAH (difference), when the battery are 1400mAH. With a power drain of 4mAH and a battery of 1400mAH, in an ideal world you should have 350 hours of standby. With the highest drain you still should have 140 hours of standby. So the big drain and where there is to gain stanbytime probably comes from apps/widgets/rom? Because none of us have more than 50 hours of standby time..?

And isn't the reception better on radios with higher battery drain?

I'm just curious...
[Desire General] Jokey2k:

Heyo,

since flashing some 5.10.xx radio I now have a longish time between htc from poweron and the actual boot process start. (like 45+ seconds)

I have my Desire since the first day available and never had a reboot. But since i updated it yesterday to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 it reboot 3 times randomly, i think i will go back to .14
[Desire General] ferreinf:
Same here, flashed yesterday, no time to really tell, but in my bedroom the reception is better, from 3-4bars to full 3G/Hsdpa.... :D:D
[Desire General] ferreinf:
Lol you´re half right... :p

Off course the Baseband/Radio is important, better radio, better reception, less drop calls and less time the phone search´s for network, the constant alternation between 2G/3G drains battery faster, among other things.... ;)
[Desire General] iinga:
Have to agree. Latest radio version is much better for reception. battery i don't really care. I had to charge every night anyway. Ending up with 15% at the end of the day as opposed to 20-25 makes little difference to me.
[Desire General] MichelN:

Updating to the new Radio now...

I with Telstra in Australia, so once it is done i will let you all know how it works on my Desire.

*update 1*

Installed ok as expected,

phone took 3 mins to register onto Telstra network.

stayed at low / no signal bars for 10 mins, then apon reboot got full bars

no changes in data transfer speeds according to speed test

so far so good... Will check in soon to give my 2 cents worth :D
[Desire General] adizz131:
after having it running for a while, i think this updated radio is the best.

carrier specific

Just a quick question...

If the radio version is the same for example 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 for a RUU for a carrier in one country and a carrier in another country is there any chance that there may be carrier/country specific tweaks in the radio even though the version number is still the same??

push the file to the lib folder on your phone (usually /system/lib/) the clue is in the name: libhtc_ril.so ;)

Tried 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, gps lock was much faster, but increased my battery drain up to 1% per hour.
