New Radio version: 02.47.11

I just finish to download the new radio version for our devices. I can not tell you my impressions about the new radio version, but you can download in Wiki, placed on a folder.

couple of questions on the Radio ROM
1. It looks like it is a G4 Radio ROM. Will it work on the G3 version? If not, where can I find the latest Radio ROM for the G3 version?
2. Does it enable Blackberry Connect support on the Prophet by any chance?
Thanks.

Isn't this the Radio ROM from the Wizard? There is a topic in the Prophet part of the forum that discusses this..
I thought the latest original Radio version for the Prophet was 2.30.21.
I also tried the 2.47.11 on my Prophet. Reception was better, but battery life was drammatic

Wizard, Tornado, Prophet, Oxygen, Artemis, Excalibur:
all these models are based on pretty much same platform.
Latest Radio ( GSM firmaware) for these devices that I am aware of is:
GSM 2.67.90
Just thought that I will let you this know.

Yes I noticed that the reception is much better but at cost of the battery duration. Let me still making more tests about these new Radio.

my radio rom is 2.19.21 how and and how I would get the newst stable?q

The cost is very expensive, at least for me. Just one night, without calls, or touch the Prophet full charge and in the morning the batery meter is almost 26 % less !!!!!!!! Guauuuuu! is to much, you don't think so?
Let me still testing.

Yeah, I already tried this radio rom on my S200 and it drains a lot of batt. I don't recommend it to anyone...
I revert to the other radio rom that is floating around here, but I think that also drains a little more that the official ones....

so which radio rom version we/I should use? And where can I download?

I foud something is not right. When I like to turn the device on, (right button) to make a call phone or make a consult or whatever, the device is dead, so I have to make a soft reset. That's pass me very often, so I decide to revert to other radio version, I mean, to 02.30.21.
My impression about this Radio Version:
Pros: Better signal in all aspect.
Contra: Battery duration, inestable.
So, end of my private testing.

ok. this is something that I would like to check:
The standby mode power consumption is 21mA which it doesn't meet the spec.(but if pressing the key lock into
standby mode, the power consumption is 2.1mA.)
please keep your keypad locked at all the time and see if that will improve battery life.
I wish that I could explain better
this should be valid for all devices with this radio. not only for wizard.
Thanks.

Hello,
I use a prophet whith an older radio 02.30.11.
Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?
I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?
edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?

I tested this radio ROM long time ago when it was first posted here. But I changed back to 02.30.21 after one day.
It was a terrible experience, the device automatically reset during conversations very often. One day, I had to reset the prophet for more than 10 times!!!!!
So, I went back to 02.30.21 right away. And I also warned others not to install this radio ROM in this forum, too. I can not believe you guys are still so brave to take the risk.

@andrew_sh
Do you mean that when you lock the keyboard from the today plugin, the consumption is less?
Yes, that is correct. this bug present in 02.47.xx radio and is fixed in later radios.
I tried it today for the whole day and now I have 80% from 100% this morning which is very good! Is it because of the locking?
Good! I have same result on all my test devices.
edit: BTW, how did you measure your consumption?
I have not meassured it myself. Information in bold is per ... technical documentation

What about the 2.67.90 rom?

@andere_sh
2.67.90 is fine on Excalibur, Oxygen and Artemis..Really. much better than 2.47.xx

Radio doubts!!

hi there.....sorry for the stupid doubt. but i need them cleared by those of u who dont mind helping newbies like me out.
what are the benefits of flashing a newer radio version? does it improve battery life or what else?
i am with airtel in india. i run radio version 4.1.13.41_02.88.90. is this good enough or would anyone recommend a better version?
will be grateful if anyone can help me out!
thanx in advance

still no reply? cant anyone clear my doubt?

If you have no problems with your current version, why upgrade?
Newer versions are said to have better batterylife and/or resolve dropped call issues or have better signal strength.
But I think no one knows for sure.

Which Radio and Rom use the other Uni??? Any other Installed Software differences??

all the same
Which Radio and Rom use the other Uni??? Any other Installed Software differences??
-they have same
RADIO=1.18
ROM=luca's vanilla 23016.5.3.0
same applications and programs installed..
in short identical UNI..

Same here some time ago.
Solution: My RSS-feed-reader tried to connect every 5-10 minutes. Even the Uni was closed. So the batts were empty in about 1 day.
Maybe you have a programm like mine...

thanks for your help CHOSEN_ONE....but the programs i have on my two uni were all stock or i should say pre-installed software from luca's rom...and i think none on its programs or software are draining my battery fast..it so happen that only on that specific uni it drains fast...but the other it last more than a day..

experimental solution
1. ive downgraded my radio from 1.18 to 1.11
2. configured activesync option for server connection..ive switched the connection manually under the schedule option..
as a result it somehow slows down the draining time..but it is still under observation..i will just post here my findings as soon as i get some good results..
thanks for all those who helped me out so far..

Radio definitely one important point for Battery, second is the band wide 3G/GPRS. Setting your uni to 3G will sure use more power. The age of the hardware (screen, and others) may also effect your power consumtion.. I dont remembr but here in this forum is a tool to check power consumtion per mA..you may look in to that

thanks for your help sir..
im using 1.11 radio instead of 1.18 (experimental solution)
im also using the GSM band not the 3G/UMTS (not using 3G eversince)
the hardware version of my uni thats draining fast is G4..
i also have a G3 and another G4 which works fine with 1.18 radio..
if i do have a time i will search for that consumption per mA thing...

my uni is now working fine..
hey guys...thanks for all of your help...
my uni is now working fine..
my little experiment works....
1. ive downgraded my radio from 1.18 to 1.11
2. configured activesync option for server connection..ive switched the connection manually under the schedule option..

First off, threads asking for ROM recomendations are discouraged on XDA.
Second, you have to try the ROM's and test them yourself to see which one is the best fit for you. There is no universal answer to which ROM has the best battery life. It all depends on what your usage is like. Some ROM's might be better for heavy Wifi usages. Some might be more battery efficient to heavy Bluetooth usage.
Only you can determine if a ROM is right for you. No one else can tell you which is the best ROM for you, because everyone's experience with every ROM is different.

ok then I'll test it ... thanks for the informative sometimes it is so that you can tell the energy is more than others! nevertheless many thanks to you!

One more thing...
After you install a new rom you CANNOT make a determination of how good the battery life is within the first few hours. It will take 3 to 5 full charge and discharge cycles before the battery life evens out and you can really see if ti's good for your use or not.

ok thanks, I did not know!
'll wait a week then see if it is good.
thank you

Battery drain depends on usage. I've been using TwistedKat for the past 3-4 weeks and I'm gonna stick with it. Developer is always on and making great strides when he updates and it's rock solid. Battery usage for me is really good. Using the phone normally I'll take the phone off the charger around 7:30am and put it back on the charger before going to bed around 11pm and I'm usually always above 50%...
Don't know if that helps you, just my .02...
You also might want to try another Kernel...

Try this: TwistedKat. It's a 4.4.2 ROM based on SlimRom. Battery life is very good for AOSP, plus the ROM is very stable. The developer puts in a lot of hours and releases updates quickly.
Make sure to do a clean install.
Cheers

same problem to all "smartphone"
