LOL let the bricking begin Adrynalyne :). I am sure we will be seeing people in the IRC about this. Some advice people if ya don't know what you're doing you should probably think twice about flashing one of these. But thanks Zule for the radios and Adrynalyne for uploading them and posting them

whats this new radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Wynnded:
I searched, but I haven't found anything about the 2.15.00.09.01 radio. Is there any info on it that would prompt flashing it. Thanks gents.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:

It was built 9/1/2010.

But seriously, I would like to know as well if anyone stumbles on to anything interesting..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I'm not being a smart ass folks.

LOL.

Thats truly all the info I have. Its a legit radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
All I know is:

radio changes are in AMSS, DSP is identical, mibib is identical, osbl changed (yikes!) and osbl2 changed (most likely to reflect the osbl)

Those could all just be demonstrating a change to the chain of trust signatures. Actually changes are unknown, this is just a guess but if could just be a recompile for some unknown reason.

Breaking it down further will require more time then I care to put into it...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Weazol:
I knew you weren't being a smart ass.. I googled it and only thing to show up was your thread here and at androidforums

Yeah I'm noticing some poor battery life too but the radio just seems better with 9.01. I haven't had the 3G drop yet, WiFi is faster and overall the phone is snappier (even local apps which I can't explain). I can't explain it but 9.01 is a great radio but battery life does suck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JLO155:
Whoa! Great speeds. I believe the 2.15.00.09.01 radio is faster too, but I notice worse battery life also.

Just curious, but is this the same radio as on the EVO? Because I have noticed that the EVO has a radio with the same numbers on unrevoked.

Stock or Custom Kernel with Virtuous 3.1?

rmk, should we stick with the new stock kernel in Virtuous 3.1, or reload the custom kernel v2?

You reported better battery life; was this with the stock kernel in Virtuous 3.1?

OK, now I see in ROM Manger it says "custom kernel v2.6.32.15" so it seems you updated the new kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Test for yourself and find out. Kernel mileage varies by phone, user, use, etc. It should only take a couple of days for you to decide what's best for you.

Im using kxk kernel5 with 9.01 radio and dont notice any different battery life

Edit: just switched back to 7.28 from having the 901,for about a week, and i get better service all around
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
No definitive choice?

It looks pretty mixed on whether on not the 9.01 radio is better then the 7.28 radio.

Perhaps a poll is required.

I've seen posts from rmk40 that he's using the 9.01 radio and getting great battery life. So, given the fact that everyone's use is different I'm not putting a lot of weight on battery. However, there are several posts in here that indicate a drop in performance/reception with the 9.01 radio. I wonder how much of that is subjective.

I was hoping for some real objective data points, but given that cell reception is poor at best, maybe that's not possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
I don't have dbm numbers, but without changing my usage at all, on virtuous 3.1, 9.01 radio, and extended battery (bump charged) i'm at at 25 hrs of up time and 4 hours of use time and still at 41%!! I also notice quicker response with network speeds.

I think a lot of people are impatient when they test new ROMs/radios/kernels and post hasty conclusions that lead to a placebo effect for everyone else. It's kinda funny actually... :)

Should there be a minimum/recommended time of testing a radio before posting? I've been on 9.01 for two days before this, and i know from my personal experience testing new stuff is that for the 1st couple of days my usage goes up cause i'm re-syncing, restoring apps/widgets, checking out new features, trying to notice differences and compare, and my usage goes WAY up from normal.

Bottom Line: If you use your phone 2x as much, your battery life will get cut in HALF :D I propose a new standard: 3 day wait period before posting a review on radio/ROM/Kernel. Anybody else with me?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
So, I decided the only way to tell is to install the 9.01 radio and see for myself. I'm on it now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikedmeyer:
My experience is that the 9.01 radio has better reception than the 7.28 radio, at the expense of some battery life. To me it's worth it. I go a few places that get sketchy reception and the 9.01 radio will more readily switch from "3G" to "1X" where the 7.28 radio would just get no service. It seems like it's more aggressive in searching for service, and therefore uses the battery quicker.

I think people who say reception with 7.28 is better (or battery life with 9.01 is better) spend all their time in areas with good signal, so this network searching/switching isn't happening. Either that or they're just on crack. ;)

MM
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
For me 9.01 radio seems superior in every way, but only marginally so. I am seeing no worse battery life, in fact I just went 80+ hrs on a HTC 1500 batt:D. Only maybe 20 minutes of voice per day and a few texts, so very light use.

Now I feel like it was a fairy tale....the myth of the battery hog 9-01 baseband whoo woo woo scary:rolleyes:. Maybe that could be my costume.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ianxcom:
9.01 radio FTW
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
So, here's my take on the 9.01 radio. I updated late Friday. Weekend use was mostly on WiFI, and I think battery life was a little better. Lots of browsing, text, email, etc. But I didn't want to report back until I had a full day at work.

Off the charger (normal, not bump) for 9 hours with 58% available. To be honest, that's about what it used to be with the 7.28 radio, maybe just a little better. Mostly browsing a few forums once an hour, Checking this forum with Tapatalk, 2-3 five minute phone calls, several emails, and 10 or so texts. A typical day, for me.

My work location has very poor reception. Under the same conditions, the 7.28 radio used to switch from 3G to 1X almost every time I used the browser for anything serious. Also, the cell standby was always over 50%, sometimes higher with the 7.28 radio.

With the 9.01 radio, I haven't seen a single switch from 3G to 1X all day, and I have used the browser a lot just to check for that condition. Also, the cell standby is around 25% now, but most of the day was less than 20%. I guess different areas of the building are worst than others.

I haven't seen a big difference with signal level between the two radios, at least nothing substantial. It's not a very accurate measurement anyway. Lots of variables, including how you hold the device, as well as outside conditions from one day to the next.

Anyway, for me, the 9.01 radio is better than the 7.28 radio. I've seen a lot of discussion to the contrary, but so far it's working very well for me.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwood:
Ok guys, got a problem...

I have been flashing roms for sometime now, not a noob...

I just flashed the 9.01 radio to my INC, all went just fine, did a *22899 after the flash, again all well, 3g data, text, out going calls ect ect ect work fine..

NOW here is the problem, I can not recieve incomming calls! when a person calls my phone number they get a message "from verizon" something to the effect of (the number you have dialed can not be connected, please try your call with the area code, verizon 51-1 blah blah blah) tryed calling with the area code! same issue, agian outgoing calls work fine.. any ideas???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Try flashing back to 7.28, see if you can receive calls. If you can, reflash 9.01 and retest.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwood:
I already did a flash back to my original radio, same deal...

We had some bad storms go through here today, wondering if it is in verizons system, I would think if verizons system was working correctly my calls would have atleast gone to voice mail...

Now I am running hboot 0.79 with S-Off will that be an effect on the 9.01 radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwood:
** UPDATE **

Called Verizon, they had to reset the switch at the tower that I was connected to, we had some bad storms roll through here earlier.. all is working now... 9.01 Installed and now testing!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I just flashed the 9.01 radio last night (I was using the 7.28 before that). It has not yet been a full day, but with Virtuous 3.1 (which is great), the stock kernel included with Virtuous, and the stock battery, my findings so far are as follows:

With 9.01:

The signal bars seem to fluctuate more.

The battery seems to be getting hotter - I can feel heat from my back cover whereas I don't remember this with 7.28.

My battery life seems to be marginally better or the same. (Specifically, awake time seems to be very slightly better - 4.5 hours vs barely over 4 with 7.28. Oddly enough, my Up Time seems to be slightly worse.) This is most notable when I go on the internet - the battery drains significantly slower with 9.01.

My 3g seems to be switching back and forth between 3g and 1x a lot more (maybe a few more times a day).

Again, these are just my results on 2 days where I went to the same classes during the day and had roughly the same usage. I realize these results are not indicative or conclusive, I just wanted to post my findings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Loaded up 9.01 today after waiting and watching for a month. So far so good....

My first full day on this radio, here's what I got. This is a pretty typical day for me, all the device info's in my sig.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] snowkfh:
Quick question:

assuming I want to flash back to an older radio, since I'm S-OFF i just put it in my root of SDcard and boot into hboot, correct?

And at least normally, this won't brick my phone, so long as i'm not installing over a previous radio, correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
To flash different radios just put it on the root folder of your SD card (not sure if it matters but name it PB31IMG.zip or something along those lines). Then hold down the down volume key while you're turning your phone on, select yes when it asks you if you want to update. At least from my understanding of it, only flashing the same radio twice in a row will brick your phone (assuming you do it normally).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I running the 2.15.00.07.28 radio. The posts on this thread are very variable as to which radio is better and why. I am going to assume that there is no significant difference (except maybe with the bar indicator which I disregard anyway) and that the reported differences are due to other variables or are just subjective and inaccurate.

I welcome dissenting opinions and would be very interested to see a poll result.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hackenstein:
After reading over the entire thread, I can't find one consistent reason to upgrade over 7.28 (especially if battery life is worsened, already sucks enough). Thinking I may just stick with it for the time being. Always worried flashing the radio will nuke my phone.

Can't Flash 9.01

Want to try 9.01 but must be doing something wrong. I have the PB31IMG.ZIP radio file on the root of my card; I boot into HBOOT and it looks like HBOOT is running the zip file but the radio isn't updated. Power off and reboot to home screen then Quickboot into recovery and do a "manual" loading of the zip file but no dice - still have same radio.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
Thanks to jwood

Thank you, sir. Reformat to FAT32 did the trick.

First read for others interested in 09.01:

Drove into Denver (40 min drive) for doctor appointment and no 3g signals at all.

Returned home on the same route and got intermittent 3G signals (slow webpage loading) and a hot phone.

Not impressed so far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Sounds like the phone hunts for 3G signal more aggressively with 9.1. That would account for more heat and, in theory, greater battery usage. I actually wish I could manually disable 3G and force 2G so I could still use internet and conserve battery. Then I could enable 3G for things that need more bandwidth like streaming video. Evidently with GSM phones one can do that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
I was using 9.01 and thought I had better service and did have better battery life but when I went to 7.28 or whatever I had much better service
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Personally I don't put much stock in the bar indicators.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I noticed something odd - I don't know if it's of any significance but I thought I'd point it out. With 9.01, the phone switches from 3G to 1x when sending a text message. With 7.28, the phone does not switch from 3G to 1x (it stays on 3G although the arrows under 3G do not light up, meaning it's not using the 3G connection). Again, I don't know if this is significant in any way, perhaps someone with more knowledge and expertise can figure something out based on this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
A text is sent over 1x, not 3g so it's probably just a visual difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Oh. So it's just that for some reason, it doesn't show the switch when on the 7.28 radio?

Suggestions for Radio "Downgrade"

After trying 09.01 for a couple of days, I want to restore 07.28. Should I re-flash the 07.28 radio zip file from my SD card or hboot into recovery and restore my last good "07.28" ClockworkMod backup?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Clockwork does not backup your radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:

Thanks for the quick feedback.

I just flashed the 07.28 radio zip file and I'm happy to report that everything is fine.

Again, thanks for your help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itisjustme:
Hmmm,

I do get the 3G and 1X indicators switching back and forth with 7.28
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
That's weird, I never got that with 7.28. In any case, after switching back to 7.28, I noticed the battery draining significantly quicker, even when the phone was "asleep", and so I have now switched it back to 9.01 :p With 9.01, my battery lasts me a whole day (including around 3 hours total of internet usage + 1-2 hours of talk time) and has around 20-40% battery left at the end of the day (depending on how long I spent in areas with spotty coverage). This is on the stock battery with Virtuous 3.1, the latest stock kernel, and the 9.01 radio - I'm pretty pleased.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I am always hunting for a signal. In my area the BEST signal I ever get is -96DB. I still get better battery life with 9.01. You might have a dated/Wrong region PRL. I live in a former Alltel area, but the hybrid PRL's never worked well for me. NW MT,USA.

Noob screwup please have mercy

As idiotic as it sounds, I accidentally flashed an outdated radio to my HTC Incredible. Since then I have had no data connectivity whatsoever. I tried flashing back to the stable Froyo release to no avail. I've tried googling the problem with no solutions found. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help. :eek:

Edit: I tried the *288 and it didn't help. Wierdly, when I selected option 1, the command didn't go through. I had a ported Desire Z rom that I had stripped down. I'm going to try this again with Skyraider to see if that helps.

Edit 2: Skyraider seems to have fixed it. The phone is sticking mostly with 1x (and even that is spotty), but that probably has more to do with the current location.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
When you say you flashed the stable Froyo release, do you mean you flashed the newer radio? If not, download the new radio (7.28 or 9.01, I've had better results with 9.01 but that's me) and flash the radio, not the ROM or anything else. ******MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE OLD RADIO FROM THE ROOT FOLDER BEFORE PUTTING IN THE NEW ONE******

I was running the 9.01 radio on Virtuous 3.0.1 and it work great for a few weeks and then I started to have 3g drop out and had to reboot the phone frequently to restore data to the phone. I flashed back to the 7.28 radio and the 3g data problems have went away for now, it been 3 days. The only problem is the battery life has taken a dive, I used to make it all day with 20-30% left over. Since I flashed the 7.28 with no other changes I am at 20-30% by 5:30pm where before it was more like 11:30 pm. I am not sure what is worst or why the 9.01 radio worked flawless for weeks before taking a ****.
