OMG!!!!! :eek: :eek:

Ok now I am a happy camper indeed!!! :D

Using the combo in my signature thanks to YOU geko and quantum I am now experiencing the BEST battery life I ever did in my whole DHD career :D

I'll tell you just one thing. In 8 hours with wifi on all the time and everything syncing (2 pop mail accounts every 2 hours, Facebook every hour, weather every hour, Google contacts and calendar, Whatsapp messenger and maybe more I can't remember) I lost ONLY 7%!!!!!!!!

Well I can't thank you enough guys! You literally saved me!

Big big thanks :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
I've just changed to same RIL|Radio setup asDanteGR and I now get 2% battery drain per hour.. and the -..mA drainage is constant.. no spikes :)

So, where exactly does the 'G' RIL for AOSP and 'HM' RIL for Sense come from..? I mean, how does it work that on my non-Sense ROM (MIUI) and using a HM RIL I get the best battery life to date!?

Sorry, can't get Battery Monitor to export .txt log file, so attached screenshot.
[Desire HD General] stony2k:
HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM works fines with MIUI? Mobile data, calls etc. working fine?
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Yip..

1. Voice: Fine

2. Data: Fine

3. Wifi: Fine

4. GPS: Fine - Fix on 6/6 satellites within 60 seconds

Only flashed it about 3 hours ago, so I'll let it run the weekend and see if anything comes up. But for now, I'm most impressed!
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
I guess it all depends on what is the actual ROM is that you're running. From my experience any HM ril thats used with CM7 is bad. Using 2.2.1003G ril with CM 7.0.2 gave me best battery life ever on Desire HD. It was like I had a massive 1900mAh battery instead of the little 1230mAh that it comes with lol.

:D
[Desire HD General] rahulnahar:
thanks alot mate. this was really easy and helpful. cheers :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Thanks geko, it's probably ROM-related. Also, I don't want to be too trigger happy yet.. I'll run with this combo for a few days and see if it holds up.

Oh, a massive 1900mAh battery would go down a treat! Anyway, I know it's not the thread for this but I wish HTC hadn't messed up with the battery spec! Would have saved us all a lot of time trying to squeeze what we can from it's measly 1230mAh stock battery ;)
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Yeah mate, its all about testing. Which is why we are here in the first place I guess lol. :D

HTC shouldn't have skipped on battery size, maybe they were too tired after creating such a fantastic phone in every other way.

In my opinion it should have been a standard 1500mAh battery, just like the ones Samsung has been putting in their phones for years.
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Glad I helped mate! :)

Just to go a bit further on my experience with this combo.

Well, my main gripe since buying the DHD was battery life with wifi ON as I stated before. The drain was huge (5-10% per hour on standby). This has most certainly been solved with this combo. The drain is actually minimal. I mean it's indeed like I have a larger capacity battery now!

However, as I was all morning at work, I unplugged the phone at 7:30am and with the accounts I mentioned in my other post syncing and having the phone on GSM only (I have no 3G signal at work..) the battery has gone to 82% when I got home at 4pm. That included About half an hour of browsing the net at really SLOW speed and a couple of 2 minute calls.

So while the drain is exceptional now when I am home with wifi on, the drain with mobile data on is about the same as before.

I believe RIL made the difference for me as I have tried the radio I have now with the latest RIL HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM and the drain was awful.

Maybe I should try the RIL i am currently on with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 or the other RIL geko suggested with my current radio?

I am confused :confused:
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
I use the same radio as you do(the one in your sig) with the corresponding rils(131 something). Its the best combo for me, even slightly better then the newest radio!
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
I have tested the combo you describe but it does not work for me mate.

I experience really big battery drain when on wifi...

But every DHD and ROM is unique I guess :)

By the way what ROM are you on?
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
<- there is my location and provider ;)

I'm using Android Revolution HD (5.1.9 at the moment) and i didnt really test the whole thing with wifi. I only really use it when i need it honestly. But i'm gonna test that now!

Anyway all i'm comparing is the newest "official" radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 to the "unknown" 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3.

And for me the unknown 12.48 works better. They are both pretty close but on 12.54 i had some strange signal drops, like from 4-5 bars (~80dbm) to signal loss and some seconds later back to 4-5 bars. That was pretty annoying so i changed back to 12.48, but other than that i terms of signal strength/gps they were about the same (Gps slighty faster also with 12.48).

The RILs i used were always the one that are recommended in the RIL thread. But since we still dont really know from which base the 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 came, we dont know either which RIL is best, do we?

But i see alot of you guys using HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM with it, so i'll test some wifi drain now and get back to you :)

That seems fine to me :-) will test some longer later. It's with wifi on.

[e] changed RIL to HTC-RIL_2.2.0099HM with 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3. For testing purposes. I mean its very possible that this radio came with the same base as the 0099 RIL. Everyone seems to have very good results from what i saw.

Or are there any clear facts why its recommended in the RIL thread to use the HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM with it?
[Desire HD General] noonerealy:
help

i get error (remote: not allowed)

wtf am i doing wrong?
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Excuse me, but the corresponding RIL for the 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 is 0099HM.

EDIT: Sorry, you're right, it should be the 0131HM instead.
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
it was 131 weeks (or months ?) ago, what changed ?
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
You don't have an engineering hboot. You need to flash that before you can flash radios.
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
Well as far as I know, we simply dont know. The asian dude just came here and posted the radio. Some guys who subconsciously wanted a new phone tried it and bam it worked very well.

So unless you can check within the radio itself from which base it came we'll probably never know.

Would be interesting to know why jkoljo chose to tell in the faq we should use the 00131 with it...
[Desire HD General] Nilu23:
since yesterday i get every now and then call drops with latest radio and g ril on cm7 nightly. im on vodafone germany :(
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Yeah I would also like to know that.
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
might be becasue the radio that cambe BEFORE the unknonw one paired with 131, so he might have thought that the new one, would pair at least, with 131, and not with an older ril ?
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Yeah it could be that.

But I believe he could have stated that he is not sure and maybe more testing might be needed.

Trial and error is the answer to this as it seems.
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
theres no testing needed... you just "see" what RIL comes with the ROM that introduced the radio.

The unknown source radio, had no rom to look at :P
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Ok I see your point.

But do u know for sure that a RIL and radio that do not "match" can not have great results? I do not know myself I'm just asking :)
[Desire HD General] preacher65:
Some radios do seem to work fine with non-matched RILs - in the early days of radio testing, I flashed different radios before we knew about flashing the RILs as well.

However with some radios, if I have the wrong RIL installed the person I call seems to have an echo on their end of the call. When I install the matching RIL, the echo goes away.
[Desire HD General] peste76:
Reflash you nightly. I don´t think you will need RIL on CM7, also not on the newest ones. I was on 7.0.3 and tested some RILs and it ended up in your symptoms.
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Try using the Telus radio from the OP of this thread and HTC-RIL_2.2.1003G found here:

I've just posted this in 2 other XDA RIL | Radio threads. So, sharing my trials, tribulations and countless hours of flashing RILs and radios here too ;) maybe it'll help someone..

I'm getting 1% battery drain per hour (in standby with wireless on). Also, excellent mobile, data, wireless and GPS signals.

Details of this RIL | Radio combo in my signature.

Edit: I'm also running smartass 122/998 (without setCPU) and an edited version of LorDmod's PUV UV script (edited by killersloth).
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
So the latest RIL/Radio that you now have in your sig give you better results on battery than the ones in my sig that you have also tried?
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
DanteGR, we meet again ;) yes, much better for me. In fact, best of the testing I've done to date.

The Revolution link (click RIL or radio in my signature) has many correct RIL and radio combos. So, maybe try the one I'm using and if it doesn't work then try some of the other ones in the folder. But for me, the results are excellent so far.

Edit: Not sure how much difference the ROM makes..
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Well the ROM SHOULD make a huge difference because with the combo ur using right now I have had the worst results ever!

But I will take a look in the revolution thread and maybe test some other combos as well.

As I stated before though my combo has excellent wifi, mobile data, GPS performance and battery is good too. With medium-heavy usage (3+ hours screen on, 15 hours wifi on, 50 minutes of drag racing etc) I am making it to 20-24 hours which is more than enough for me.

I am glad your current combo works for you though mate :)
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
Hey man, you're getting great results! When my battery can last 24 hours I might stop experimenting ;) <maybe>
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Hehe!

Good luck in your quest than man! :)
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Haha, good luck with that mate. To be honest the only way I got over 24 hours of usage out of my desire hd is using cm 7.0.2, telus radio and 1003G ril.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
How do you set smartass 122/998 w/o setCPU on Rey-619's MIUI 1.6.3 v18, mate?
[Desire HD General] Madala_ZA:
In Root Explorer, follow these steps:

Mount R/W

/sys

/devices

/system

/cpu

cpu0

/cpufreq

Then you'll see a whole lot of files. Look for scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq. These are the files you need to edit. Then:

Long press each of them (one at a time)

Select 'open in text editor'

Make your change (be sure to know the frequency upfront)

You can also change your governor here, just look for scaling_governor. Hope this helps, let me know if anything's not clear ;)
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Ok this is so freakin' strange... Since last night the battery is drained like crazy again when on wifi... I did not change anything at all.. not even one setting or app... What the hell is going on here?? Have checked the battery stats under settings and the running applications and everything is like before...

This is driving me crazyyy!

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks in advance people.

[Desire HD General] clouds5:
So you had this wifi drain with 131 Rils then you flashed the 99 Rils and it was gone. Now its suddenly back? Could have been the restart?

Then there's the chance that its not Radio/Ril related, many roms including stock had/have wifi issues from what i've seen. When did this wifi drain problem first occur?

For me wifi was good all the time (im on ARHD 5.x since gingerbread). I have a pretty strong router though, and i'd say drain is about the same whether i have 131 ril or 99 with radio from my sig :)
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Well I had the wifi batt drain since the beginning man. All the time. No matter which rom or radio or ril. First time ever that I started not having it was last Thursday when I flashed the 0099 RIL with the "unknown" radio. Same combo as you have. And it has worked flawlessly until last night when it started again...

Could it be a router bug or something? signal seems strong though in all rooms of my house...

Thanks again man :)
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
Hm strange^^ Well i'm no wifi expert :)

But have you checked with any tools where exactly the drain is coming from? How far up is wifi in your battery stats? Also under Wifi settings hit menu and advanced and see if "best wifi performance" is turned off.

And what kind of drain are we talking about? When you measure with current widget, do you have like a constant drain or normal drain with spikes?
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
No I have not checked where exactly the drain is coming from. Wifi in the battery stats is not that high its like 5% now (1 hour 48m on). Best wifi performance is off.

Ok when I say drain I mean losing about 5% per hour with wifi on and on idle. Accounts are syncing etc but with the same settings before i was getting less than 1% drain per hour when on wifi.

I will try to log with current widget and get back to you :)

PS: The only thing that has changed now that i come to think of it is that I had a router restart last night which caused it to "lock" on a higher speed. For example before it was locked on about 0.58 MB/s and now it is locked at 0.64 MB/s.

I dunno if this makes any difference though...
[Desire HD General] Hawkeyed:
Same for me while I'm connected to my router (DIR-655 802.11n) at home. Drain is in the range of 50-80mA constantly with screen off and with the occasional spike. At work and connected to the wifi (Cisco AP 802.11g) there the drain is 1-7mA. Pre Gingerbread I had the same drain at home as I have at work now.

Like you I've tried different radios to no avail. I'm thinking it's something with my routers config. I've read that changing the DTIM interval will have an effect on battery drain. I have however not been able to test this at home yet.
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Well I am a complete noob when it comes to routers lol!

If you find anything on the matter I would appreciate it if you share it with us here.

Thanks in advance :)

PS: The router causing this is the most logical assumption I can make since as i stated before I have not changed anything in my settings/apps when this problem started occuring again since last night...
[Desire HD General] Hawkeyed:
Of course I'll report back. Hopefully I'll have good news... :)
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Ok I believe post number 6 is the answer to our "wifi on" battery drain problem!

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/640-the-cause-for-battery-drain-is-wifi/

My IP must have changed when the router was restarted hence the bigger drain.

If anyone knows or have read something more on this then I would be much obliged to read what you have to say. :)

PS: Some other very useful links on the problem. Will update as I find them :)

WiFi has been OK for me between work and home wifi routers, however my big drain since Gingerbread is when WiFi goes to sleep and it reverts to HSDPA from my provider. Anyone on 3 UK had any success with a particular radio etc. since Gingerbread?
[Desire HD General] Hawkeyed:
Ok. Done some testing. Changed my routers DTIM interval from 1 to 10 and et voilá. Instant drop to 1-8mA!

Confirmed by changing the value back to anything below 10 and drain is excessive yet again.

I will report back tomorrow if the drain has kept below 10mA (with the occasional spike) during the night.

More on the subject: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14241618
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Ok just checked the log file from current widget. The drain is similar as yours on standby. I have a minimum of 66mA with wifi on. So I think we have come up with something here :)
[Desire HD General] Hawkeyed:
Well... in 8 hours of sleep the phone lost 1% per hour! :D

My wifi beacon is set to 100 (default) and I changed the DTIM interval from 1 to 10.

If you're using VoIP you might get sound issues if you set the DTIM too high.

Here's more reading on DTIM value: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplan...666446/Optimize-Multicasting-on-Your-WLAN.htm
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Great!

But i cannot find the DTIM settings for my router??

Are these located in the router wireless settings or in the actual network settings of the pc?

Thanks :)

Sent from my CoreDroid Desire HD
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
Just noticed that you said on your 802.11g router the drain was fine.

When I go in the wireless settings of my router it says "Mode: 802.11b/g"

Is there any point in changing this to only 802.11g?
[Desire HD General] Hawkeyed:
You could try. It did not have any effect when I did on my home router. The AP at work is managed by our network team so I have no knowledge what settings they've implemented. I don't even know if it only allows g or if it's b/g.

In general a lower speed will require less juice from your connecting device and switching from b/g to b or g only is pretty simple.

What seems to be the problem though is that the router is too chatty and thus will prevent the connecting device, in this case our phones, to enter power-save mode. Increasing DTIM value will tone down the chatter from the router and allow the connecting device to enter it's power-save mode.

It however seems like your router won't allow you to edit the beacon and DTIM values which is very unfortunate. I'd either buy a new router or if possible borrow one from a friend to see if it helps.
[Desire HD General] DanteGR:
I will tre to change it sometime and see if it helps. For the time being though it seems alright again (about 1%/hour) since I restarted the router manually :)

There are also some other settings on the router that seem interesting.. I might check these out too.

And I also have a second router that my ISP has provieded me with so I might check this out too :D

Thanks!

PS: Back on topic I changed back again to the latest RIL/Radio combo in my sig as that was not the problem as it seems. So far so good :)

Okay, doing it now. When you said press the home button, you meant the power button? From the red FASTBOOT menu, 'adb devices' still doesn't list the device. I decided to try the flash command anyway. Does this step take very long? It's been more than 15 minutes and it's still at

sending 'radio' (24832 KB)...

How do I verify that I've got Radio S-OFF? If it's not covered in one of the steps in the wiki page, then what are the steps? (instead of using the Easy Radio S-OFF)

Already flashed the CM mod after my previous post, so that's running fine. Battery draining quite fast though, so waiting to get the radio working.
