Welcome to Windows Mobile and the HTC Touch Pro... I don't care what anyone says or tells you. There are no radio's available that will be a miracle cure for your battery issue. These phones use battery, it's a given. I am not saying there won't ever be a fix...but right now, no hacks or radio's are going to fix the battery drain. They might help but only to a very small degree.

Exactly. I get a kick out of these guys who say their phone runs hotter with one radio than another, or they get a quicker gps fix, or more satellites, or they have more luck with the ladies with the Telus radio than the Sprint one. There are so many factors, from atmospheric/weather conditions, to network congestion, cellular coverage, etc... Those radios are just a tiny variable in how your phone is performing.

As I said in an earlier post, Conflipper's updated rom is now available, and I highly suggest you flash it if you're in the market for a custom Alltel Rom. Look here:

and don't forget to thank the man that made it all possible, CONFLIPPER.

But maybe the Alltel radio was the perfect match for there touch pro and the only way is to take it back under warranty with a little BS.

The Alltel radio has no specific bearing that would make it perform better on an Alltel pro than a Sprint or Verizon one. It is just the version that was available at the time Alltel ran the pro through their qualification process.

As for my personal rom right now I'm using Dream's rom. I like it so far but I'm not opposed to trying out some others when I get more time.

Yeah, and forget those penile enhancement pills. I gained at least 3 inches after flashing the Telus radio! *hahaha*

hmm, if radio has nothing to do with service or perfomance, why can one radio (like the case of the titan) be non-gps and one gps? radio can make all the difference in the world, true, on average, radio upgrades tipically don't improve much, and most of the claims are just plaecebo effects, but every now and again, a radio does make a big differenct in the phone

I had the Alltel TP and it had TERRIBLE battery life, especially in my home which had a poor cell signal usually 0 bars but my calls rarely got dropped. if Imade a few calls and used the device regularly I might get 1-3 hours.

I flashed the telus radio and now I get 2 bars consistenly and battery is easily double to triple now after almost 2 weeks of use. The phone seems not to have charging problems and doesn't get near as hot as it did under the alltel radio.

How do you remove the TF3D dialer skin? I unchecked TF3D on the Today page, did that do it or is there something for dialer that needs to be turned off?

[tenthirty2]

Use Advanced Config 3.3, and under phone options, disable dialer skin.

I hope to learn how to put the telus on my phone someday
