Radio 2.12.50.02_2

Has anybody got som experience with the 2.12.50.02_2 Radio on a Leo?

gonna do it in a while...

Everything seems to work well, only had it on for an hour or two so no battery life experience yet.
ROM is Artemis HD2 V18.
Vodafone UK

I just flashed the 2.12.50.02_2 Radio on a Dutty HG 3.8 ROM and no problems for now.

There´s already a thread discussing that Radio ROM. It´s that consisting the Radio itself:

Radio
Superb
It is even faster in GPS then 2.11, and sound is more clearer. Battery is fine for me (I charge my HD2 daily anyway).
But of course, it all depends on the area you are living in. You have to try and found out which radio is the best.

bad radio
it drained me 49% of battery after 9 hours of standby...2.11.50.xx radio didnt so i flashed it back

HD2 WP7 - Which Radio are you using?

Hello all, just flashed WP7 and am loving the netflix and the sexy UI!
I would just like some feedback as to what radioversion some of you are using with this phone. I was using a "compatible" radio with an old android nand rom I was using, however I'm thinking that probably it's sub par for a WP7 setup.
I kinda have some complaints that callers can hear things quite loudly that normally go on in the backround "ruffling potato chip bags" sounds like super static noise lol.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

Bump... I would like to know as well!

2.15.50.14 but I have a problem with this version, high battery drainage in 2G network! Is somebody have same problem with this version?

Hi,
I had the high Battery drain as well with 2.15 Radio.
So tested 2.08 and 2.10.50.19_2, both seemes better because I could run on day with a battery load.
cheers

I am using 2.12.50. I get around 11 hours on my battery - with pretty reasonable usage.

Just flashed to 2.14.50, now I'm good.

Definitely INSANE battery drain with the phone just sitting, lost 50% power in about 5 hours of the phone just sitting there, with all stuff on manual sync too DEF giving 2.14 a go.

Hi, I am a complete noob so forgive my ignorance.
I installed Radio 2.15.50.14, then MAGDLR113 and finally WP7 8107.
Wow - I have fell back in love with my old HD2! Only problem now is a)reception and b) battery life.
Having read a few forums/threads I think i need to downgrade my radio to 2.14 but I can't find how to do this with MAGDLR installed - the old custom RUU's don't seem to work.
I am probably missing something really obvious but please help.
Thanks

Does those Radio works with "T mobile" HD2 USA Version??

WP7 Battery Drainage Vs. Radio Rom

WP7 Battery Drainage Vs. Radio Rom:
After searching in Forums, I Found that most of us (WP7_HD2 Owners ) have a great issue with battery drainage.
I also found that some of us tested radio roms and found that it affects the drainage directly but not the same way the same version did on WM6.5.x
SO I wanted to create this forum to brain storm and try several radios and check what is the best for our Beloved HD2
I will post and edit the best radios based on your reviews so more you post results more we will get clearer image of what's optimum:
So Based on what we experience ; Radios are sorted Best on top:
1- Radio 2.12.50.02_2
2- Radio 2.14.50.04
3- Radio 2.15.50.14
I know it depends on your network provider also, but At the end it's kind of trial and error forum, we get help from each other: there is nothing certain 100 %.
Rest will follow...

Maybe radio 2.12.xx.xx should be tested also. It is a 576mb enabled radio also.

i've tried 3 radios so far
2.12 is the best, and 2.14 and 2.15 are very similar
i am testing 2.10 now
im using htc hd2 t8585, not tmous

i am using the 2.15,,works normally,, not bad,,but neither remarkable.

Managed to pull 30 hours until recharge with moderate usage on 2.12.50.02-2 radio. UK Virgin mobile' s best radio I might say when it comes to batery drainage.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express

I have radio as 2.14. Would like to know whether the radio 2.12 is better ?

Wrong forum, this is is development not Q&A/General

Doesn't location also have to be taken into account? I understood that a radio that gives great performance in the UK could be terrible elsewhere and vice versa.
I'm not suggesting that this thread isn't a decent idea, just that users should also post their country of use.

I tried WP7 with radio version 2.15.50.14, the battery lasts two days, vs windows mobile 6.5, 5 days.
But my opinion is that the problem is a bug that allows the use of gprs/3g link cause some sort of continuous, although the 3G connection is switched off.

Im using Radio 2.12.50.02_2 simply because I seem to get a better signal with it. Ive not noticed much difference in the battery life than when I was using Radio 2.15.50.4

Just added it here because it discuss the topics mainly accessible through development, and want most of us to reach it....

I have switched from radio 2.15 to 2.14. and I see improvement in battery life

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but it's just something I experienced that might be found useful....or I may have a freaky battery
Could the problem with the battery drainage could be related to the battery state when WP7 was installed?
I installed it on my device when the battery was half charged and I was only getting 1/2 a days use before it died. When recharged under WP7 it would take 1hr and only last another 1/2 day...but.........I installed android and am now dual booting WP7 and Android.
I ran the battery out using Android and recharged it under Android to 100% charge. Since doing this WP7 takes 2 hrs to charge instead of 1hr but the battery lasts all day with between 5%-15% remaining after 12 hours.
Maybe WP7 checks the battery state on install and assumes its fully charged when the device (HD2) is first powered on and incorrectly calculates the maximum charge!?
Just a thought.

I believe you are right. For the first time did y HD2 chage under wp7 and i noticed that the battery did not last half a day. I usually charge my batteries through an external phone battery charger (have 3 batterie which i rotate).

I am trying 2.14 in London Uk. So far better than 2.15. Will try 2.12. I remember there was one radio in particular that was FAB for battery life but so so for reception. I will try to find out which because for me battery life is more important. Could have have been evem 2.12. Will have to search the other forums.

You might be on to something here! I charged my phone to full capacity while downloading and waiting to install WP7 and my battery had been good. I even believed that it holds better than with android builds on NAND or SD. Lets investigate this, please.

Radio 2075027_2
Ok I managed to find the radio that gave me excellent battery life under Windows 6.5 rom = Radio 2075027_2. I reasearched my old posts in another forum.
I have installed it fine and will test out over the next couple of days and report back.
If anyone else wants to try, the radio is in link below:

Remember, just a warning for everyone.
If you use a 2.07, you want be able to boot into Android (if you dual boot using MAGLDR SD card).
Android needs 2.08 and up.

i tested 2.10
it is a little bit inferior than 2.12 =) but it is still great

[Q] the best wp7 rom

what is the best wp 7.5 rom work withot problems on hd2 ?

i followed the advice in this thread, which was guided for TMOUS users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327106
i installed Yuki v2 ROM with the 2.15 radio. Things have been going pretty smooth.

thanks dear
but my hd2 not t-mobile

Mine isnt either, but the WP7 rom works, Kinda awesomely infact, the only huge issue I get is the freaking battery life (Both 2.12 and 2.15 radios.)

Hey i just followed that guide and it was great. My battery life seems fine, but i have to put it in usb mode to charge. I still need to test it more though.
p.s.
Not tmobile either. I'm Australian Telstra

Trail and error i guess, jus try different ROM and radios (SD cards too)
to far i tried Yuki V2 (smooth, and fast even data on 3g was fast) but battery drain is a killer, even with 2.12 radio
Pdaimatejam v2 - smooth, everything works, a lil issue with pinch and zoom (a little fiddley) bt batterylife is good, 10-16 hours on heavy use (2hours facebook, 200+txts, and whatsapp) [radio 2.12]
and HD20 v1.23b1 [radio 2.15] - smooth, everything works, battery drain over 3g on standby is amazing (over night only 5% battery drain) bt drains rapidly when on whatsapp and internet explorer.

When I use Windows (I prefer Android..) I use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Works fine, battery drain is high but that is the only issue.
Good luck!

Back to the future is good at multitouch and smooth but battery drain is so bad. For me, I need to last my battery using time much longer. 1 vote for 7740 v3 of Pdaimatejam.
Here is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Version 3 still isn't uploaded, I'm using V3. Everything is smooth and fast as Back to future ROM, in addition, you'll get a better battery drainage(my battery isn't new but it run out in almost a day).

Battery life WP7 vs. WM 6.5?

Hey guys,
I am considering switching to WP 7.5 from WM (default ROM) and was wondering, will I see any battery improvements or it will actually drain it faster?
Also, anyone tried Android 4.0? All I care at this moment is battery life and don't mind whether it's WM, Android or WP.

Hi!
Best batterylife you will get on this device is with WM. Find the right release (some of them have improved power management) and stick to it! You will NOT be able to find better battery-life with Android or WP...
/Anders

That's right. As far as I know, best battery life is with WM6.5. However, I'm really happy about battery life in WP7 (DFT Ultrafruit changing radios and other things). I make more than a day, maybe 2, but being careful about what I do, of course.

Maybe wm6.5 is better.
But I feel wp7 takes better pics.....weird...after taking 240 pictures of a book..the battery from 100 to 13...is this normal or power consuming?BtW,it's standby life can be as long as two days with some general use

Battery life w.r.t various ROMs are as follow
WM 6.5 (Best battery life) >> Android >> WP7 (Worst battery life)
WP7 runs constantly at 998 Mhz (One of the reason for high battery consumption) where as 6.5 and Android can dynamically vary from low CPU consumption to High as required.
Also in WP7 battery life depends on soft radio + hard radio combination.. For good performance with good battery life use 2.15.50.14 Hard radio + 5.50 soft radio.. For best battery life use 2.12 hard radio + 5.50 soft radio..
Trust this clarifies..

Very Low Battery Life...Please help...
Hello friends...
Recently I have installed WM7 to my htc HD2. I found that the battery life is very less.
I have read here that if we use the combination of 2.12 hard radio + 5.50 soft radio.
Please someone tell how to do so....?

Search the forum my friend, hardware radio is updated via the custom RUU, it does not delete anything.
Software radio needs to be built in to the WP7 ROM before you install it, changing this will mean a loss of everything
Now, whilst battery life is deffinitely less than WM, one thing i can confirm is that its not worse than android, the problem is that it doesnt always charge completely, so for example, it may say its 100% full, but its only half full, so it appears to drain twice as quick, or it might say its empty and its still half full.
It could say anything, for best battery life use an external charger. reboots during the day will help keep it reporting correctly. Tho even then ive noticed that it doesnt always work, some times you need to plug a USB cable in for a moment for it to refresh it.
In short, battery charging and reporting is all over the place, but once you get a full charge it actually lasts quite a long time with very heavy usage.

Personally, now that I've found a WP7 ROM that doesn't drain my battery in 5 hours, I don't notice a difference. (I'm now using pdaimatejam, BT on with -3 to -7ma drain in standby, Yay!).
Sure, WM will last longer. Sure Android will last SLIGHTLY longer b/c it doesn't run the CPU full speed when the display is on. And that is a clarifying statement to the above. WP7 does NOT run the CPU full speed all the time, only when not in standby.
Having said that, I get a full, usable day in WP7 with moderate use. I got just over a full, usable day in WM6.5, but I had to charge every night regardless.

Testing 2.12 now, thanks,
Now sure if estimated battery life is correct, before installing it said 5h, now 2h

also dont forget to try camera trick with combination 2.15/5.51

Does it work with 2.12?
Is 2.15 better than 2.12 in battery life?

10h standby (mail sync on) with all the tricks on HD2 2.12, bad
Hopefully, Tango will increase battery life.

you can dream.... but none updates for WP7 cant be increase battery life... only can be worse
seems your battery in bad shape or something do wrong... also if you play music few hours, play games, nothing strange if battery not least long...
with radio combination 2.15/5.51 + camera trick, with WiFi on 24 hours at day, my battery working around 30 hours with normal use

Hm, well, it said 2h remaining but still holds, another 6 and has battery left... No idea.
I will play with soft/hard roms after Tango is released, as now floashing and losing data for a month or two is pointless
Thanks!

I have actually had better battery life using Pdaimatejam ROM with radio 5.51T/2.15 combo than I had with Android or WM 6.5. Not exactly sure how but it is definitely the case if any of you want to try that

on my hd2 it feels longer with wp7 u can try it on your own

yeah

Guys i believe that we have to choose
1.best battery life and slow phone=windows mobilie
2.worse battery life,excellent speed=windows phone
3.good battery life and reasonable speed with freedom to do things that you cant in wp and wm=android
i prefer wp7 and sd android and i have to charge 2 times a day (ok i have 2 batteries and external charger so i change the old one and i am ready to gο) but i have a phone that i enjoy to use
