I have the newest leak v4 installed and only have radio 2.41.04.02.02. The wifes phone got the ota last night, every version number is the same except the radio, she has a newer! And it isn't listed on the radio forum. It's 2.42.00.04.12. Mines rooted and hers is not. Anyone have this radio extracted for us to install? Thanks!
I tried both radio, root and ota. Not much of difference... signal strength remained the same but throughput speed seem to improved though, not by miles... I'll say about 1-2 seconds faster while loading a webpage in browser.

Obviously some fixes or they wouldn't make and release newer. Too bad we couldn't get release notes! Lol. Anyone know how to extract?
check out the link below, he just post a link for this newer radio... found it by using forum search and you should try that next time.

I've been running the 4.12 radio for over a week and have had no problems.
Performance increase over prior versions is difficult to ascertain, but as was stated the newer version fixes something or they wouldn't have released it.

Thanks! Also, I noticed her phone doesn't have the time without signal bug!! But I do, even after updating to that radio...weird!
What's the time without signal bug all about, and how can you tell if it affects you?

if you go to about phone in your settings and click on battery you will see battery use (click on that)...if you see cell standby and it says 50% (or more in my case being in a basement of my building at work) then you have that bug...
people have a "fix" for it by plugging in your phone and going to airplane mode. hit the end button and have your phone go to sleep for 1 minute. Unplug the phone and restart.... when you let it sit again for a littel while and go back to the battery thing it shouldnt say 50% anymore.
i change Roms so much lately i forget to do the trick... not sure if it is hurting battery or not.
just want to report on new radio 2.42.00.04.12, it seem to eat up my battery quicker than before, so I reverted back to stock radio (2.40.00.01.22) and all is well.

My battery seems to last a lot longer on this new radio...I don't have oc and just using the v4 ROM base.
70 percent left, t.w.a.s 0 percent (did airplane trick), awake time is 4ish hours with a on time of 10.5 hours. Using text and internet a lot, text, email, and other things. Around this time Im usually around 35ish....stock battery. Coincidence?

without doing anything new my battery time just droped off the face of the earth.. its down about 75%. i was getting a full day mixed use now all of a suden im getting 6-8 hours with just a few phone calls.
my awake time is at 16%
I havent done anything new that i can think of.
im using (and have been for awhile) the mugen 1800 extended battery.
trying to think what might be doing it and cant come up with anything i havnt found in the forums already.
you probably downloaded some app that is running in the background continuously. check with a task manager to see what's running, and then try uninstalling some recent apps to test it out.
thats what i was thinking but i cant find anything new running with the task manager

Could just be a bad battery? I'm having same problem, maybe worse with stock battery. I went from 100% down to 15 in like 5 hours just reading my RSS feeds every hour or so. I think I may have fried my battery using it to tether for excessively long periods.
You're not using your phone to tether are you?
Mine is way down this week too. Initially I thought it was Swype, but not so sure anymore because no other users are reporting problems.
Are you using Modaco's rom and kernel ? or any new kernel for that matter? Ever since I switched kernels my battery hasn't made it through the day.

No I'm not.. Turned a few more newer apps off and still no good today.. I was at 5% batt left after 9 hours with about 10 minutes web browsing (not wifi) 4 or 5 text messages and about 45 minutes talk time. That's down about 90% from were I was a week ago .
I managed to narrow my problem down to the Taskiller widget. Removed the widget (still running the app full time) and all is well.
Last night I rolled back to before I used a custom Kernel. I rather battery life over speed. I need my phone to last from 6am to at the very least 7pm. I think once people get over the performance boost, we'll see a lot more posts relating to battery issues.

might be that too, i hope not as i love that keyboard. just having it installed shouldn't drain the battery, should it? im on day 2 with the custom kernel and i too noticed more battery drain. at 1pm my hero was fully charged. i only played a bit with the phone and made two short calls and it's down to 86% already at 4pm. i want to roll back but i do like the speed of the new kernel. ill see how it does tonight.

Yeah going back to regular input sucks. Swype was only some leaked beta version, we don't really have right to complain; however, I bet their end product will be much better. I just hope they'll release it as an app and not as part of custom Android phone so we can get it sooner.
figured I woud resurect this thread rather than start a new one.
yesterday I decided to RUU my phone to pull the completely stock apks out of it. after I did that I restored my backup of fresh 1.1 with gbhils kernel and now I am at 90% awake time spare parts shows that "android system" as something keeping it awake. any suggestions on what this could be? could it have something to do with restoring the back up with the kernel over stock without a wipe?
What is the absolute best setup for damagecontrol rom, to get optimal battery life. Cuz i cant seem to get the same results others are claiming, im not complaining, love the rom, just feel im doing something wrong or missing something. So plz share what ever info u can.
this needed a new topic ?
at least hes not cluttering the thread more than it allready is.....on topic did you do the radio update?? or are you just on damage with stock radio?
I'm seeing this issue too, and I'm using the stock radio. I've been very hesitant to update my radio, but if it's quite safe to go with one of the others I'm open too. Searching the main damage thread is getting to be very painful also. I'm all for spreading the wealth out a little more.
Very easy to do, it the same as downloading a rom onto your phone.
My main question with this radio update is if I can flash it back to the original radio safely? Especially if I end up wanting to use a version of the sprint official update to 2.1.
Was not really on topic, sorry!

Agreed... thats the only reason i decided to create a whole new thread, it was getting really difficult search the thread for the specific info i needed... anyways, im currently on stock radio because im a little hesitant to flash the new ones, but if it trully is the #1 source fot all the outstanding battery life, ill take the plunge later tonight. One more question, i just want to be completely sure that setcpu and overclook r no longer needed.
I haven't updated my radio, came from the stock Sprint to DamageControl V1, and from what I can tell my battery life is as good as it was on stock, if not better.
I haven't updated the radio as I'm like a lot of you, wondering what the exact changes are in it, and wondering how much risk I'm taking with doing it. I'm concerned that the change made is to lower the radio output/input levels to keep battery life up better, and that it is potentially causing some of the roaming that people are seeing.
Just flashed the updated radio yesterday. It's pretty much the same process as flashing the ROM and just as reversible. I think the battery life is better but haven't had a few days to really test it.
I noticed that with the stock radio, if reception was good, it was fine, but if reception was spotty, it drains like whoa.
My battery life was way worse with the new radio, I swapped back to the old one and am back where I was before the flash.

over 300 pages and over 3000 replies in the damagecontrol ROM thread... YES this needs a new topic.. and just in the same spirit as the devs are so nice to take their time and create these ROMs to help peoples experience, maybe it would have been more worth the while to help the OP with his question (seeing as u "tweak" things)
in fact there needs to be more new topics that encompasses the fixes and what-nots in the damagecontrol ROM
I would also like to know the optimal setup for battery. I'm running DamageControl and I can't plug in my phone for 10 hours each day...

For everyone who is having problems with this draining battery i have seen that damageless hasn't removed the GSD.apk removing it has helped my battery. to do this you connect your phone to the computer make sure usb debugging is enabled.
Pull up your cmd go to your adb dir mine is
cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm GSD*
ls (check and see if it has been removed) (optional)
exit

There's an app for this in the market. Called "Network" so that you don't have to type in that every time. I have it on my homescreen for easy access.
I have the newest radio and my phone is set to CDMA (auto), but my battery life is considerably worse compared to Fresh 2.0b. I can make it about 12 hours, with minimal use.
So I found this great app that tells me how much life I have left on my battery. I find that with my phone I can hardly go pass 16 hours with MODERATE use yet everyone here is bragging about easily passing 30hrs with HEAVY use. So I'm asking you guys, to please, download this app called BatteryTime Lite and post your pics or info here. Lets compare the results. Remember to set the level to 100% as shown in my pic below..
Also I herd the P/N might be related, mine is 99HKE002-00 F ..Guessing F means Failure.

Thats what I herd too..thats why I'm also calling google a lier about saying this thing lasts 20hours with audio playback.
I'm curious, do they see a big improvement in battery when the display using 15-20% battery or its just numbers that were out a place to begin with?
I have identical figures. That combined with picking the N1 from a list says to me that these are just database figures rather than real world ones for your handset.
Root your phone and then install cyanogenmod and one of the under volted kernels. I usually get 24 - 30 hours battery life.
I just ran a test. I left the mp3 player on all night turn all the way on repeat. SO far after 8hrs of playing I was at 52%. If I'm correct, I just might be able to hit 18hrs...MMMM

No problems at all? no 3g issues?, battery only lasting a day or half? or touch screen issues?
Ok after 100% charge..the app is telling me that my phone will last 10hr:48min with moderate use....anyone thinking that the F on my P/N might mean battery sucker..
i have the exact same numbers as you. if you choose other instead of the phone type it asks you to enter your battery's info so it sounds like it only goes by the type of battery anyway. Not actual usage specific to your phone
My phone ends in an F as well. My battery life SUCKS right now. I have tried everything. The weird thing is it was good until I rooted my phone and applied Cyanogen rom. I've tried .2 and .3 for the Cyan rom's, all with bad battery life. I've tried wiping batterystats, fulling draining battery then recharging, task killer to wipe anything in the background, I even have a 2nd battery. No luck. I've also tried the undervolted kernal, but I didn't really notice a difference with it. (Only tried it for about a day so)
Bottom line though, something is going on. Something (I suspect with Cyan's roms) is killing battery life for some of us. I just wish I could figure out what it is.

Any chance you're using Weatherbug or Weatherbug elite (based on your SS)? After installing weatherbug and using the widget I got absolutely ABYSMAL battery life. I've purchased several other weather widgets and none had the effect that Weatherbug did for some reason. I removed it and battery life is back to normal again (moderate use and plenty of battery at the end of the day).

How long your battery lasts definitely depends on the apps youre using, I use my phone a lot, probably more than the average user, although i dont make many calls. My phone will easily last from when I leave my house around 530am till 11pm or so when I go to bed. I do use a task manager to kill stuff I dont need running every once in a while, I think it really just depends on how you use it. I use it for a lot of texting, surfing and news, and Pandora at work. I use wifi when im at home although ive never noticed it eating my battery. Yesterday I was playing Pandora over bluetooth on 3G for a little over 3 hours and it only took 5% of my battery. Im on Cyanogen 5.0.5.3, if that matters. With all that said I rarely go all day without charging it, I usually plug it in a bit at work and plug it in when I get home, but if I dont for whatever reason it easily lasts my whole day.
I had no intention to push battery to its limits. I had busy days and forgot to recharge it. I was quite surprised when I saw for how long it runs on one single charge (see attached screenshot). I answered my calls regularly, made some calls, checked email a few times a day, and played no games.
What is your longest run on one charge?

I need stable blurred ROM with full functionality, so Nottachtrix seemed like a good choice. I use it for about 6 months and I'm convinced it's still the most stable among blurred ones.
I have 197 apps under "Downloaded" section.
I use only two apps for slight tweaking regarding performance. I disable apps I don't need to run on startup with Autostarts and I automated it with Tasker to switch to airplane mode between 23:00 and 8:00. That's all. No over/under-clocking/volting.

Kernel faux on stock 2.3.6 made that magic possible.
So I'm on stock 2.3.6 (retail - Brazil), and I get 12 hours or so of battery: i barely touch the phone during the day and that's the most I get. Anyone care to give me pointers on how to achieve that with full blur functionality?
Cheers!

Have you read my second post in this thread? Have you seen attached screenshot in the very same post? If you do, I guess it's pretty clear what's my recipe. ROM + kernel + tweaking. Nottachtrix + faux123's kernel (1 GHz version) + mentioned apps.
On Neutrino 2.9 I get max 14 hours thats with light usage and wifi off most of the time, as soon as WiFi is on I just watch the percentage drop by the minute.

I recommend you to install BetterBatteryStats from Play or look here. Just take a little time to study how it works, read help/manual. I remember before I switched back to Blur based ROM I had similar issues and discovered by beforementioned app that it was well known Bluesleep issue. I fixed it eventually, but how.. I really can't recall, it was long time ago.

I recognize you to have the BAMFest Atrix of all Atrixes
Hey Everyone,
Can someone please tell me what's draining my battery? I used 32% of battery and didnt even get 2 hours of SOT. I do see that my connection is bad.. (at work right now on the 11th FL). I did turn on airplane mode but it seems like the mobile radio wont turn off? Anyone else facing the same issues?
Currently on stock OOS 4.5.14 Kernel- Simplegx Kernel
I don't know. I'm on stock 4.5.14 and stock kernel. I am getting about 9-12 hours of SOT and .3-.6% idle drain for a combined drain average of about 2.2-4.5% an hour depending on medium to heavy use. I don't do anything to crazy with my setup. I just turn off my google account sync unless i add a contact or something then i manually sync them, turn off background data for each app that has no need for background data usage. Work email is on push and personal email is set to fetch every 3 hours.
Seems you're not alone, my 4G+ isnt' great, never seems to connect in the same places my old phone did, and even when it does its nowhere near as fast.
Data is sub-par compared to other devices, it's that simple i've been through every single setting, nothing can change it.
I don't know ow either. I have my OnePlus 5 since a few weeks ago and so far its battery is showing being the best I've ever used till now (I upgraded from a G4+).
I usually get 7-8 hours of SoT with medium usage:
- WhatsApp
- Phoenix (Facebook/Messenger)
- YouTube
- Some gaming (Free Fire Battlegrounds)
- WiFi + 4G+ (switching between them depending on where I am).
I leave home early on morning with full charge and get back with about 30% left.
About the 4G+, it's showing really good here, nothing to complain about it.

right.. and the damn phone radio is ALWAYS active. Even in airplane mode it wont turn off. It's frustrating. I'm trying to locate what is really eating my battery and i dont have a clue.

Are you sure? How do you know? Could that be the settings Mobile Data always on? Or maybe allowing google to scan for networks, allowing apps to use data without permission? Not 100% if it's the phone.
Thinking about that, what if you are actually on a plane lol

Seems average at best. I'm using only a single sim and I don't have SOT like that.

Lol my battery stats say so... and airplane mode is SUPPOSED to shut off mobile data but the radio is still active. It never turns off for me. Idk bro I'm using Gsam to find the stats but I cant find whats going on. Can you take a closer look for me?

Are you using beta or stock? Tried wiping cache? I've seen some reports that after a while cache the battery showed very good.

stock. Inerased cache multiple times. I'm going to reflash OOS and lightning kernel. Hopefully a factory reset will help.
