Niki - Battery Life

[obsydian]

What's kinds of battery life is everyone getting from the Niki ?
I
have tried three ROMS and three different Radios, and I barely get a full days use (low usage as well) on the battery is down to 30%.

I have GPRS on, but always auto disconnect after 1min, and check my email every 15mins.

I use a diferent battery , original battery has 1150 mAh and my new battery has 1400 mAh

[sebastlim]

and how much more performance do you get with your 1400 mAh battery?

also where did you buy it and how much?

I think its a mid day more.

I bought the battery at eBay , 2 batterys aprox 13 €

My original battery lasts 2 days normal use without a problem.

Even with (for me) heavy use and 3G always connected (pushmail)
I get a full day usage.

[creamhackered]

does it stick out of the back of your device?

[great]

with push email 24/7 enabled and GPRS i not even get a full day out of it.
its awful!

[jeremymacmull]

excellent I get at least a couple of days use out of it . but when I visit my mother in law I get one day use . its all to do with the strength of the signal strong at home and work so lasts ages but weak at the mother in laws hence only 1 day use.

this is with push mail enabled.

No , only the 2400/2500 mAh stick out of the back of the device.

Is the same of my battery.

For the moment , without change back cover , is the max capacity.

Sedio makes 1500 mah, but they're total rip offs. 45 bucks. I bought my 2400mah on ebay for 10 dollars. hehe. It's huge :( I don't like it like this. But it gives me a full day of 3g. Today i'm trying GPRS only and a lot of usage :)

[remco18s]

Is it the battery who's so weak or is it the phone that uses so much energy so you can use is for only 2 days?:(

I've already the 2400mah and going to buy the 1400 for more fun:)

I want to return my 2400 and just get the 1400's. But I also realized that there are some apps that kill my battery, Jivetalk (Alpha with no battery conservation mode yet) totally reaks havoc on my battery. So I'm hoping that 300mah might make a difference .... I'm also thinking of keeping the 2400 for skype days :)

i flashed tom_codon's rom the other day, and after nearly 12 hours im @ 79% and that's with 3g enabled and emails checking every five minutes, texts, etc.
with my original htc branded rom i'd be at about 30-50% now :S

Are you sure? Lol. I installed the same ROM and I left it on 3g, and it went down pretty quick :). lol.

yeah, positive. tho if signal strength is low it will drain battery quicker. i always have full bars where i am. i still haven't charged since my last post @6:01AM and i'm at 35% now, and that's with playing around with PointUI for a good couple of hours. deffo better battery for me. I don't use too many fancy apps though. just batterystatus, slideactions and HTC home + touchFlo, and always use 'X' tap to close apps and not leave them resident. maybe that helps ;)
