battery life

[weihoe]

hi,
i just flashed my elf to SX 6.0 WM 6.5.
i found out that the battery life in decreasing and i wonder is it due to the rom or is it the weakening of my battery.
previously i was using SX 1.1 WM 6.1

my battery now only last about a day standy
normal usage of a hour and sms daily the battery lasts less than a day.

can anyone help me figure this out?
im worried that i'll spend on a new battery and finding out later that it wasn't the battery's fault.

I tried SX 6.0 and had the same experience - it was on standby pretty much the entire time and had 100% charge. About 20hrs later of just being on standby (GSM on Edge network, no bluetooth/wifi enabled), it was down to 40% battery.

I also noticed, after trying a WM 6.1 ROM that it was much more responsive, though I don't know if all 6.5's are noticably sluggish compared to 6.1 (elfin).

I was thinking it may just be the ROM... that perhaps it had a bit "too much" or something. I was going to try SX 4.1 but the download links are dead now! :(

If anyone has a copy of SX 4.1, put up a link? :D

What SPL/IPL are you using now?

SLP 3.14 sucks the life out of my baterry so I switched to 3.10
battery now lasts about 1 1/2days standby and almost a day when using it heavily

I just got word that the battery life from SX 6.0 was due to it having M2D 2.0 on it which is apparently heavy on cpu and battery.

I had purposefully not upgraded to SPL/IPL 3.14 because of the reports of poor battery life with it - I too am using 3.10.

I would have thought though (this is my first touch - I'm coming from an old Motorola V635 which would last a week on one charge with my light usage) that the battery on one of these things would last more than just 1-2 days without a recharge. I'm trying to recondition my battery right now to see if it will give me a bit more life.

I agree that M2D 2.0 drains battery faster, that's why I replaced it with SPB Shell so it lasts longer...

try calibrating your battery

if it's still not enough then buy a new high capacity battery:D
