Seems to me that having the data connection on all the time vs. having it off or having it time out doesn't seem to effect battery at all. The data may be on, but I don't think it's pulling anything. I used to worry about that and turn it off but now I just leave it on all the time.

I value all the research you are saving me in the long run!

Hi Scott,
I couldn't find the post about the different radio tests, it must have been in the original Vers 1.0 Kitchen thread, but that thread is not listed in the archives. I've attached a pic of the summary, but I'd have to dig to find out which line represents which radio. However, since they are all about equal, I don't think it makes any difference. The main difference in the radios, would be on how effectively they perform. How they handle the information thatpasses thru them, and the logic employed on how to continue or reject a given packet. That I do not have the capability to test.

My results from the WiFi vs EVDO test are on page 70, Post 695. Again the results were identical. No battery performance improvements.

I haven't tested battery vs ROM because I don't change my ROM. I don't have the knowledge to debug them, so I wait till they are stable before I will make a change. I also don't like the time it takes to add the user programs back into the phone. That's why I'm hoping that phattooth comes up with the solution to AutoRun. I do believe, as stated by FormerPalm(?) that limiting the number of files in the Windows directory, will make a major difference in ROM performance. That is why I like putting apps on the SD card. Easier to update, more free space in MainMemory for stuff that REALLY needs to go there.

I will continue to look for the Post I had on the Radios. I think I may have copied it to other threads.
EDIT 1: Link to the Radio Test Results

I was talking to Bored last night about the bluetooth and ignore call issue and he was able to give me a fix for it. You will have to modify the reg entry below.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting" translation="filesystem">

RejectEnable" datatype="integer" value="0"

He also told me of the mxipupdate_phonecanvas_1. file that needs to be changed in the kitchen to make this change take affect during cooking.

Much thanks to Bored for his wisdom. And I thought I would share this dwith the group.

And yes it does fix not being able to use the ignore call feature with bluetooth on.

Great work you two!

And thanks so much for sharing!

EDIT: Just a note here Dimitri...

Earlier I had mentioned I hadn't noticed the issue after installing S2A. You had said that it was with BT... and to be honest, I hadn't tried with BT for a while, but had done it without, and it had worked. So I thought that maybe I just hadn't notice it while using BT.

Well, before I made the reg changes above, I wanted to test a before and after... so I fired up the BT and tried to reject a call... guess what, it stopped ringing (both phone and headset) and the call was sent to voicemail.

So I went to the above reg location to see if S2A had made the changes already. It had not.

Not sure that this means anything... but I did just want to point out that call reject functions as it should both with and without BT if S2A has been installed.
(For me anyway)

That is just weird. What could be making some phones see the issue and others not.

My guess would be that, in my case, it was the installation of S2A that fixed the issue... not that i didn't have it.

I do remember it happening, but it was long ago... was it SSK1.1 or was it SSK1.2 pre-S2A?

That's what i can't pin down.

EDIT: This is the version i am using... got it over at XDA... will have to dig to find the thread and credit, but will update this edit when I do.

EDIT II: Ok, here is the thread i started with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476609

BUT, this is the thread i got the actual version i am using from.

Credit goes to smotrs over at xda.

I can confirm that the registry setting listed above fixed my ability to ignore/reject calls. My wife was not happy about being the guinea pig

Just let your wife know that she wasn't the guinea pig. I took that position last night.

I'll look at this tonight when I start rebuilding.

I was also having another issue where when on a call the notes would open for that call. This would even happen with the curtain up. So while Bored and I were talking last night I also found another registry setting in the same folder called StylusOpenNote that was set to 0 and I have changed it to 1. It seems to have fixed my issue with the notes opening during a call. I am testing this fully as well. Just thought I would share.

If this registry entry is not what I think it is and you know what it is actually for please let me know.
