Keep in mind that where you live or where you will be using it makes a big difference. For me, the telus radio gave no signal improvement, although I didn't really need it. But the radio actually gave me much WORSE battery life. So there's no such thing as the "best" radio.

It's almost like asking "which radio station comes in the strongest"? It all depends on where you are..

Yep! I slapped the 1.11 sprint radio on (was running stock 1.03) and for me it seems a wee bit better. Still had it get into that "data connected, but no data" state I was hoping to avoid, but generally seem a hair more battery friendly.

Backup*, unlock, and try em all. No hard reset needed, so why not

* because bad things can always happen!

No problem.

But - Do keep in mind that since reception varies greatly depending on location, your results may or may not match mine. In my area, I have over 99% signal strength at my desk. You may not have that same coverage, and that will directly effect your battery life, phone temperature, etc.

Also - Repeating my call - Can someone with some Excel skills please chart my data and make some sense of it?

Better yet... what's the conclusion of your evaluation? I mean, what's the bottom line?

I'm not sure what you're hoping to find out. I've glanced over the files but it looks like you're always plugged into power and the log files don't have any signal information, just power and temp...

What were you hoping to "chart" that you can't see just by opening the files?

Just glanced at the data briefly and noted that the battery temp was lower than the others running stock.

I was hoping for something like a line graph with all the values labeled - For example, showing a high power consumption curve for the stock ROM and a lower one for the Telus ROM.

My eyes suck at interpreting large amounts of undifferentiated text data - Charts work better.

The values that I thought would be interesting to see would be battery mAh draw, temp, and signal. Perhaps others, perhaps not.

Tests for the remaining three radios will be coming in a couple hours.
