50% cell signal

[schellbl]

I'm running bb v0.1 with the most recent base band. I noticed my battery life is god awful and was going through what was eating the power up. It looks like my phone isn't connected to the tower or something like that for 50 % of the time. Is there anything I can do or should I go back the previous baseband?

Thanks,
Brian

I'm getting the same thing. I used to see this when i was running CM 5.0.6 I think. if you put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds then turn it off it seems to fix it till your next reboot.

I had thought we'd seen the last of that mother, but I noticed it on BB 0.1 as well. I also saw it on either Onix 1.2 or Team Chaos, but can't remember which; I've flashed so many in so few days!

I have not yet seen it on Chevy's SS4, however.

*228 option 2 fixed it for me on birdman's FLY rom. Worth a shot on BB.

Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > tap Cell Standby

I just looked setting>about phone>battery use>cell standby. It says "time without signal" 50%

try a *22899 or *228 option 2...

Mine is at 24% but i have no idea what it was before i upgraded to the P Baseband, which uses 12% of my battery usage.

I've had to revert our Droids (the wifey and I) to the C_01.41.00R froyo baseband because with the C_01.43.01P baseband signal constantly fluctuated between 3G 3-bars to 3G 1-bar to 1x, and so forth... C_01.41.00R is just much more stable for us with even greater signal strength as well!
