Battery life

[_Mystique_]

i flashed my Diamond 3 times since i bought it 1 month ago.

i started with 1.34 ita, then 1.37 ita, 1.93 ita and now i'm on SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5.6.

Diamond is my work phone, now i am in holidays so i do not use it all day long but it is turned on for eventual calls.

Since i put 1.93 and still now with swiftBL i notice that the battery life is shorter. At now, in stand by mode, only keeping it turned on, the battery lasts less then 5 hours. With 1.37, making calls sendig sms life was around 6hours or more.

I must charge my phone 2 times a day and put for another charge near midnight before go to bed for all night long. Batteries like charge cicles but now im thinking this is too much stress for diamond battery.

do u think it is broken? how long is your diamond phone battery life?
i probably buy another battery and a car charger so i can charge it in any place, but i would be glad for more efficency.

anyone of you knows how much thick is extended battery?

thanks for answers

There are pictures of the extended battery in the accessories forum - pretty much where you would expect to see them.

That does sound like odd behaviour to me though for your battery. If I don't touch my GPS, make a couple of brief calls and send a few texts, whilst keeping in 2g mode, I expect to see about 40hours from a charge.

I'm experiencing a similar behavior with 1.93 ROM and 1.00.25.05 radio firm.

I'm currently wondering if S2U2 is the cause.

_Mystique_, do you use S2U2 ?

I use S2U2 with mine - I have been using the new radio and ROM from Dutty.

Just in standby with push mail on the battery lasted of 36 hours from friday. sundays charge lasted only 24 with the same usage? apart from 10 mins on teeter :D

i had about the same issue - i was charging it about twice a day to keep it going. i took it back to phones4u in here in the UK - after a bit of discussion and getting an error code from Orange - they gave me a new one - and its about 50 times better! the battery lasts much longer and the signal is better! my theory is that i had a faulty aireal or something - it had terrible reception, and because of that, more battery power was used trying to get a signal... But i might be wrong!

Hi
I had this issue as well, until I have stop sync my calendar
I do not understand why, but for now I am not sync it

i have a Diamond branded "TIM", and also my battery last about 10 hour without using the phone, always in standby.
I tried switching off the phone module and the battery last about 40h.
So for sure the problem is the aerial/phone component.
I will send the mine to htc in warranty, because i think that 10 hour in stand by is not the normal behaviur of this phone.

also i tried 2 spare "chinese" battery, from ebay, but all the results are the same.... so for sure aren't the battery.
Bye

Question:
I'm going to get my Diamond soon. How long the battery must be charged for the first time? 3 hours or more?

Why it is not good to empty the partially charged battery and then refill it to 100%?

i have partially solved the problem

yes, i use s2u2, but the real problem (for me) is Kaspersky Mobile. Closing it im experiencing 100% plus battery live: i ended a complete charge at 14.48 at now (21.52) i am at 50% battery.

So the problem are the running tasks. This time i closed kaspersky and s2u2, then i will check if i can close some SwiftBL default task

i am in 3g mode (i've switched off hsdpa), bt always off.

i think that is normal that more battery is spent with phone mode enabled.
i think that a realistic battery life target is a work day.

on ebay there are batteries (10$) and craddles...

Beware of these cheap batteries.

Especially for GPS, that seems to need genuine batteries to work well.

Other topics already deal with this.
