Re: Maybe, just maybe I might have found a hint to overheating.
i too changed the reg entry as suggested. but i noticed that once i made the change the data connection arrow bars were always on (the ones next to the EV icon). it constantly stayed on and would not turn grey even though i had no apps running and push was turned off. Once i changed back the registry entry the problem was fixed. anyone else notice this?

Re: Maybe, just maybe I might have found a hint to overheating.
Ive tested Juicy's rom Idol Discharge to the telus rom. and its exactly the same. but sprint rom is proving to be difficult to make like the telus rom even with the same base rom just different carrier provisioning. the more and more i think. the more im blaming the sprint battery on there radio rom as its different. SINCE sprint does not roam on Verizon towers, Sprint had to get HTC to modify the Radio rom to amp it up a bit to keep it from dropping calls in low signal areas. this is why a) your device gets so hot in some calls and not in others. Signal difference and the radio may or may not be going into over drive. and 2) Battery drain on idol. because the radio is using more juice even at idol to keep a lock on the towers.
Since telus roams the other major service provider here in Canada via contract we have stronger signal available usually with out the radio working very hard or as hard as the srpint one. there is my theory, Note, Sprint and Telus use different radio versions. i Highly doubt a graphical phone skin can cause this issue. the only possible way is if it was maxing out the GPU rendering for the 3d in it at 100% which i find doubtful. the skin would have no effect on the radio and its power draw on the battery while in cal... the radio has the effect on battery drain. im definitely going to say this is just a coincedence and thats it.

Re: Maybe, just maybe I might have found a hint to overheating.
my understanding was that they didn't. i could be wrong. but this is regardless of the point that your radio rom is different and im thinking its is the #1 culprit for battery differences between telus and Sprint.
because even on the stock telus rom my batter was bettery then your stock sprint rom battery. Last edited by Mr. X; 09-30-2008 at 11:29 AM. |

Re: Maybe, just maybe I might have found a hint to overheating.
You can use "advanced configuration" program by schaps to enable disable various settings easily. Removing the Phone Skin is one.
Did anyone notice that the GPS is always on? It also runs quickgps always downloading sat up dates, as well as the weather is also auto updating? These "chew" up battery and keep your phone constantly at use.. I turn most auto update off, location for GPS is also off.. My phone lasts longer than my Mogul, Touch, Apache ever did.. and I play with it alot more.. Sprint does Roam on Verizon, as well as Alltel, US Cellular and many others. Here you can view an exmaple of some older PRL interpretations and see a listing of which other carriers Sprint Roams on. http://www.rainyday.ca/~dialtone/sprint/sprint.htm My Phone almost always has 4-5 1x CDMA bars, but only 3-4 EVDO bars.. Perhaps the unit tries to boost it's EVDO connection, especially with REV. A (which uses compression, perhaps further taxing the cpu on the unit). -CC
