Alright, I own a Sprint CDMA HTC Touch Diamond. The battery life is seemingly atrocious!! I have just been charging it like an idiot (i never let it drain to full depletion) by plugging it in everytime is gets low.
I have not updated anything (got the stock sprint rom and no apps that run in the background), and have changed all of the suggested windows mobile power settings to low (email to every hour/once a day - brightness i left on auto detect - no vibrated notices - turned off all unused data connections).
I woke up at 9am, talked on the phone til 10am, and played with a few things (10 mins pocket express and 10 mins with some stupid apps i was messing with) and the battery is half drained already after charging all night. It is 11:40am right now.
I read that a lot of people are having this problem but that the phone infact won't turn off for hours and hours after the battery shows the (!)-Battery Low notification.
Is there anything I can do to make the battery read correctly as I hate being without a phone, have only had it for a few days, and don't want to drop money right away for an extra wall charger and car charger. Any suggestions or know of any updates I could install to show me the actual battery life?? Any and all help would be great!! Thanks in advance!!
