Edit: I have seen on different threads where you can adjust the data connection "time to idle", and they claim better battery

So Bob,

I have been reading everything you are saying about battery on and off. Cant keep up with everything... Can you just suammarize your thoughts on battery depletion vs different ROM's and differnt Radio's? If you have done this already can you link me the post?

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

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 noticed the same thing. Thanks!

That would confirm my earlier tests.

Gentlemen, just to confirm the above, I ran a test on the Data Connection today. The Purple line (hardly visible) is with the Data Connection OFF. To be sure, I turned off Outlook and something called tmail.exe to make sure they wouldn't activate the connection.
The red line is with the Data Connection turned ON, but not polling for data, since the outlook was turned off and so was the tmail.
The only active items during the tests were the phone (no incoming calls) and again, as is my habit, the Brightness level was turned up HIGH.
I only ran them for a little over an hour, but considering the jpg, I didn't see the need to continue any longer.

As you can visibly see, the results are the same.

Bob

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
