I’m about to throw my phone because of how fast my battery has been draining. Running SlimBean w/ Franco r264 (tried lean kernel, too and stock jb) and I’m getting HORRID battery life. Airplane mode I can use my phone and I get reasonable drain but the moment I turn that radio back on I’m losing 1% every minute the screen is on.

Also note I’m using 3G, not 4G.

Did you figure out what was wrong with your phone?

My phone radio has been draining my battery like crazy lately. Left it on my nightstand last night with Wifi and Sync off just to see what drain would look like over about 8 hours. Woke up this morning and it had gone from 97 down to 61%. Apps accounted for like 2% of the drain, everything else was “phone radio”.

I had strong signal the whole night, I don’t get it. I am trying these radios now on AOKP Build 1 but I’ve experienced the “phone signal” drain for a few days now on several different ROMs. It’s really making me think something broke with my hardware, if I can’t fix this I’m going to try and get a replacement from Samsung within the 1 year warranty period.

This was a couple of months ago. I keep forgetting to re-test those speeds every time I go back. Also notice that I am streaming Pandora at the same time too.

Yes, I just noticed this too. Thought I was just using the phone a lot more recently.

Does any one know if these radios fix the crappy Bluetooth sound quality introduced with the 4.0.4 ICS update?

Same – higher upload speed but lower download speed.

If you do a wipe data in Clockwork will you still have your radios? Or will you have to reflash?

Is anyone else noticing quicker battery drain after flashing these radios? Ever since I flashed this yesterday, my GNex is leaking juice like crazy. 30 minutes on 4G, using Flipboard and battery drops from 65% to 45%. Charging is also relatively slower than before. Anyone else having this problem?

It seems like these new radios are draining battery as I kept my phone in standby for about 8 hours and it drained 50 percent

New radios seem to be looking good for me. Much better reception in the DC area, esp lte. Even switching from wifi to lte or 3g to lte or vice versa seems to be much faster.

I found the new radios to be much better service. Quicker switching between 3g and 4g and I noticed that when i was home my with my verizon repeater it now shows an R on top of the signal bar
