[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scar45:
VERY nice results! Do you think that these RIL settings should work on any network/carrier?

It's very odd because today I noticed my battery performance dropping large, BUT before it was always great. I am also on LeeDrOiD 2.1, and while at home, with WiFi + BT on AND connected to my router + handsfree, I lose only about 3-4% an hour.

Today when I left the house and went shopping, I was in the store for 1.5 hrs and I had lost near 15%! I had even turned off Wifi so it wasn't trying to scan APs. Very very strange...

Anyways, I want to maybe try these RIL settings if it will work on any carrier. Does anyone know if I can edit build.prop while in recovery, or do I have to edit it in the ROM .zip then reflash the entire ROM?

Thanks for the post and hunting down a solution slyn4ice, I'm glad that it has helped you out big time!

*** EDIT *** - After looking more into my JuicePlotter graphs, I notice that the battery life gets killed when I am using APN / 3G / HSPA network. I would have thought Wifi would take more power, but that seems not to be so. I DID have "Network Mode" set to "WCDMA only" (in Mobile Network Settings) because I heard it might save battery not having to switch back and forth from EDGE to 3G, but I guess that didn't help...I've since switched it back, but need a lot of charging before I can test again.

Does anyone else notice that when they're on 3G/H the battery drops MUCH quicker than if you were connected to Wifi instead? This is just my last hurdle towards a PERFECT ROM!

Thanks in advance all!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jgruar:
3G uses waaay more power than WiFi. After all, the data usually travels long distances and needs to be amplified. This effect is pronounced especially if in the limit zones of 2G/3G coverage and you have 3G preferred, the phone boosts the power to maximum to maintain 3G.

Gsm Auto (PRL) prefers 2G if 3G coverage is too low. WCDMA Preferred tries to maintain 3G connection even if it means sacrificing battery life.

If you are constantly in good coverage zones, no problem, but to the people living on the edges of proper 3G coverage it meas a big hit to battery life, especially if the mobile data is used. This partly explains why some get superb battery life and others far worse.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scar45:
Amazing explanation and reaffirmation of my thoughts Jgruar (JuicePlotter confirms it). I guess from my old WinMo days, I always remember Wifi being the power hog. I actually did change it back to GSM/Auto since that was the only change I made lately, but I thought I'd chime in while my device was charging back up, hoping for a reply just like that!

Thanks a bunch!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
From what I understand you need to update RIL settings in the ROM and then flash the modified ROM. I just edited the /system/build.prop file in the Leedriod zip file and saved (didn't resign or anything). Flashed the ROM through ROM Manager recovery (I also tried flashing it through the normal recovery but it failed on the "verifying image" stage - I guess because I didn't resign the archive).

As far as the options themselves - only the last two should be carrier specific. I haven't researched anything about them, so I have absolutely no idea what they actually do. "lenik" just copied them from an official Softbank ROM.

God, i just checked JuicePlotter and i dropped 1% for 1h10m (everything off except the radio + setCPU to ~400Mhz when screen off). This is just crazy ... awesome :)))))
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3ndik:
Is the setting rom specific, or will it work om opendesire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarajaVLC:
LeeDroid ROM (LeeDrOiD_V2.1_A2SD+_.zip) build.prop includes:

ro.ril.enable.a52=0

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

but no:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=3

ro.ril.enable.sbm.feature=1

Just checked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
Yeah, my bad. It does include the first two settings. I don't know if the third setting is carrier specific but the last one certainly seems to be - "sbm" probably stands for SoftBankMobile.

Is there any place where the functions of those parameters is described? One thing i can speculate is if the ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout is originally much higher (meaning it takes longer time for the radio to switch to its dormant state) then that would explain my previous battery drain. Now I have virtually no battery drain when phone screen is off (and no BT/3g/wifi)... but that's just a wild guess.

I would assume it is safe to try them - if something gets screwy with the battery just flash a ROM without those parameters no?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradhawkins:
Thank you for sharing these settings.

I have applied the last 2 to my Desire, using Leedroid 2.1 and latest radio, and am now receiving 4 times the battery life, last charge 27 hours ago and 45% battery remaining :)

I've also just installed SetCPU so hopefully I can squeeze some extra life out of the battery.

I also had the verifying image failure when using the clockworks mod to restore, initially i just extracted the whole rom changed the settings and re-zipped. I found if I extracted the single file using winrar, modified and replaced the file it restored fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sjamaan:
I am a newbie here. I just bought a Desire last week from Softbank installed the OpenDesire 4.0.23 and was wondering how to apply those Radio Settings to that rom...or if anybody has a cool rom with softbank mods already added could I get a link or some direction...The battery does go pretty quickly. 3 hours 45 mins 77% but I realized that wifi was enabled however....

Is there a guide on how to get started somewhere...?

Regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenik:
none i'm aware of.

Actually there are a few parameters related to the dormancy:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=2

and I'm afraid the timeout is not an actual value, but could easily be 1 for 1 second, 2 for 1 hour and 3 for a week or something like that.

the former one "dormancy.timeout" might change something in other ROMs as well, the latter "sbm.feature" most probably won't work anywhere but in SBM network.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_softbank:
I was in the same boat. I'm a n00b too, and I can help. :) Guess I'm the smartest here. ;)

1) Download Open Desire.

2) Use Winzip or Winrar and open the open desire zip.

3) Navigate to system folder, and open the build.prop file with notepad.

4. Add the two lines:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=3

and

ro.ril.enable.sbm.feature=1

Save, the edit, and close the zip.

5) You might need to re-sign the zip. If you can't install the edited open desire OS, then download the autosign.zip and follow the tutorial here.

androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html

I still feel the battery life is terrible.. It's actually MUCH much better than before! But one thing I did notice (not sure if it's related to this edit) but my download speed is MUCH faster! I was getting like 30kB/s pre edit, now I get over 200kB/s post mod on the same cell tower. (maybe less congestion tho?)

Anyhow, good luck!

P.S what I really want to know is if this mod can be added to future open desire releases. If it doesn't effect other people on other networks, it would be awesome to have it integrated. Also, I wanted to know if this mod can be applied post ROM install.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torwag:
battery drain on softbank desire

Hi,

the reason (in short):

Softbank uses a slightly modified htc library. If you do a hex-diff between an libhtc_ril.ro of an original softbank rom and any other rom you will find that the softbank-based lib contains some more function names. Namely, *sbm* functions.

Thus, it is not enough to copy the function calls into your build.prop as stated somewhere but you also have to copy the library itself.

The drawback might be that you have troubles with other part of your rom since you use a different library other parts are not compiled against this and might trouble in some one.

Worked at least in two cases....

This is how to do it

1. Find a softbank rom. They are links published on xda. Unpack it which is a bit tricky since it comes as executive file (RUAA). There are howtos to do that. Basically you have to figure out in which folder the files will be temporary unpacked.

2. Find the file libhtc_ril.so in the system/lib folder of the softbank rom stuff.

3. Copy this library to the /system/lib/ folder on phone via adb. For that your phone need to be in recovery mode and your system folder need to be mounted read write rw (unless you use the s-off hack already). Most easy install Rom manager. Follow the "normal" rom manager procedure and boot into recovery mode. Select mount option and select mount system rw. After that you can copy the lib with adb copy option.

4. With the same method copy build.prop from the phone to your computer. Open the file in a text editor and add the lines below. Make sure that they are not defined already.

Copy the modified file back to its location on the phone.

(This are all options which differ between the rom I used (OD) and the original softbank rom. This might change over time. Thus please check carefully

##################################################

#Softbank settings

##################################################

ro.ril.oem.ecclist=110,118,119

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=3

ro.ril.enable.sbm.feature=1

ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411

ro.ril.enable.sdr=0

ro.ril.oem.mosms.mode=1

##################################################

5. Reboot

That should be all

I have life time of about 2 days for average usage.

Heavy use holds a day which is fine for me.

Install juice plotter. If you observe a steady 10% drain in standby you face the softbank bug. After that it should be about 1-5% in standby.

Best regards

torwag

An addtional bonus advice ...

NEVER GET YOUR APN SETTINGS WRONG. USE EXACTLY WHAT WAS SET-UP ON THE ORIGINAL ROM. NEVER USE IPHONE OR ANY OTHER SETTINGS!!! SOFTBANK WILL CHARGE STANDARD FEES AND NOT THE DATA PLAN FEES. YOU ARE GOING TO PAY MILLION OF YENS

If you ain't have Astro.

Search in the forum for ADB, its just a command that can push app trough cable to you phone and install it immediately. If you even can't accomplish that and i suggest you even didn't root your fone now its time to do. I thought it will also install an file explorer *Not sure*.

And if you even don't wanna root your phone, my last suggestion is to prepare your computer/notebook with a Ad-Hoc wifi connection. You will just have to share your internet connection between your Lan and Wifi, set-up an Ad-Hoc network with password. Connect your phone on it, and you have network. Only thing to do in market is download any File-explorer programm. And you can install any downloaded apk that you have put it on your storage card.

GOOD LUCK! :cool:

Started Odin, loaded all the files in their right spot, connected the phone to the usb cable, odin recognized it, checked the Re-Partition box, the Auto Reboot box and the F. Reset Time box then clicked on start. Then the following appeared in odin:
