I don't know which is the most [battery] stable Radio for GSM.
#1. You need your SPC. BAFMSL is the quickest way.

#2. After getting your SPC, click (from within the program) on EPST. and click 'Edit'
#3. Click 'View Info' then 'NAM Settings'.
#4. Go down to ACCOLC in this windows and edit it to be 7 or 8.
#5. Click 'View Info' again, then 'Modem Settings'
#6. Edit your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) to 1. You're Preferred Service System should be [Carrier Name] Only. I.E., I use Sprint, so mine says 'Sprint Only'. Finally make sure that 'HDR Hybrid Preferred' is enabled.
#6.b While you are already here, click 'View Info', then 'Data Parameters', and make sure that your Rev.A is ENABLED!!!
#7. Click OK at the top right corner and click OK again. You MUST let it Soft Reset... Or else! :-p

I am almost certain this will help you guys out... Just lemme know if you feel it is any better over a while. Be sure to charge your battery all the way before testing.
OH!... Gotta add another quick step before posting... ... ... ... K!

Would i Have to do this everytime i flash a new ROM???

why can't the battery just work on the TP, it seems like it took HTC a year to release a rom with decent battery usage on the mogul, i am just shocked at the recurrence of battery problems on the TP

[jmelan]

as a test, i left my TP on in an area of a hospital with no signal - battery went from 80% to dead in less than 2 hours, after that i had to start turning the phone off when i went to that area

I think it has to do with wm 6.5. when i was on 6.1 the battery life was alright. And why is my battery getting hot???? its just weird

No, this stays embedded in your phones' NAND flash chip (er i think its the NAND could be diff).
If however you end up screwing up something in your phone you also have to manually replace the settings.

The actual HTC Touch Pro -Unbranded- is the buttcrap <--! However, after our lovely phone carriers (Sprint, Telus, crApT&T and so forth) modify them for their customers expectations they actually end up making it a P.O.S.... And sometimes like with Verizon they completely lock down GPS through SPL bootloader so you can pay a little more for internet GPS...w00t!

If your phone is in a dead signal area as the poster above you was, raise your ACCOLC to 9 as well as your Slot Cycle index... If you don't know what these are then stop beeing a lurker and read my post earlier!
I guarantee your battery life should double in that area... (If you dont use your data connection much. Texting on 1x (roaming) is fine... Data slow but ok too...
