Okay, I decided the dive in and install the new radio image on DamageControl. I did this for a couple reasons. First, I like tinkering around. The fact that I rooted the phone in the first place is because I love new toys. Sure I wanted to improve the phone, but the stock Hero was plenty acceptable to me. Secondly though, I've been running Fresh for 2 or 3 weeks and I was getting anywhere from 24 to 36 hours per battery charge (projected out). Since I installed DC this weekend, I seem to be getting 16 to 20 hours (projected). That's still pretty acceptable, but since some have commented they got better battery life I figured I'd give it a shot.
I've only had it installed a couple hours, but here is my initial feedback. I don't seem to be getting anymore bars inside my house, but I have noticed that it has remained on a 3G connection constantly. I'll test it more tomorrow. I'll charge fully tonight and test out the battery life tomorrow as well.
