I've just noticed that my battery isn't lasting as long as it used to..i got my tilt in october '08 so its relatively new. anyway, i remember the battery would run 3-4 days minimum with some usage before needing to be recharged.

i'm currently running athineos (wm6.5 - fresh install) and i noticed that after about 30 minutes of being unplugged, it is already down to 97 percent battery. is my battery going out? or could it be that the radio version installed isn't that great with the battery (running 1.71). if so, i will try to flash some other radios tonight

edit: actually, i take that back, it appears to remain stable at 97% for an hour now

I have the same problem with Athineos 6.5?

Did you find any solution for this?

the kaiser is designed to run on WM6.0 and WM6.1 the chefs over at the ROM developing did a great job of making WM6.5 ROMs but the battery won't last as long because WM6.5 is a lot more memory/processor/power intensive as well as TF3D. my kaiser's battery lasted about a day with TF3D but now after I made my own WM6.1 ROM with only HTC Home my battery has lasted 2 1/2 days. count yourself lucky for your battery lasting so long. It is about time for the battery to begin running down after you got it. It typically takes 3-6 months

Yea, i'm using 1.70.19 right now and it seems to last much longer. its been 3 hours now and it has only lost 3 percent of the battery.. sitll using AthineOS 6.5

oh just to add, i was on Hyperdragon III (WM6.1) before this with the 1.65 and 1.71 radio when i had the bad battery life. it seems like 1.70.19 is working alot better!

I'm using the 6.1 stock rom. I made a call for 25 min and sent 4 text messages and my battery life dropped from 100% to 82%..Does my battery have issues?

Thats probably a reason why your battery dropped so fast. although it shouldn't drop that fast

Make sure your brightness is 25%, that helps alot

I'm having a battery problem also!
I just use my phone for calling and calendar/agenda.
I can't get it last for one complete day, at the end of the day he disconnets due low battery. I have my bright at 50% and still have this problem.

How can i optimize my phone, and/or check if there is any application installed consuming high battery?

Thanks!
