Calls are big drainers...who uses there phone as a phone anyways??? JK sometimes I do. I improved batter life as well by switching radios. I was running the stock radio and even with Lumos and a few reg edits 7 tweaks was stil draining more rapidly than I liked, so I gave the radio a try........WOW what a difference. To verify that I wasn't just loving a placebo, I reflashed the stock radio and used it awhile again. It was clear to me after one day that my stock radio was a battery hog versus the other that I had used.

It all depends on signal strength, time roaming and such, so the only way to find a radio that will help YOU out is to experiment with others until you find what works for YOU. I can say without any doubt that radio has a huge affect on battery, wether being used to talk or pick up data.
