[Confirmed] Fix to battery life

---

Since battery life has been a long term issue for most people with the Diamond, I found this:

It seems that one of the major issues is that the battery amount is polled so often that it actually drains the battery a LOT.

There is a registry edit you can perform that is confirmed working on CDMA(being tested on GSM) phones, and battery life is really great now!

What you have to do:

1. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery in a Registry Editor.
2. Change the value of the "PollInterval" to HEX 4E20(or use decimal 20000)
3. Soft reset your device

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery]
"PollInterval"=dword:4E20

I've shared the fix with Ghetto, and he has confirmed, and will likely incorporate the reg into future iterations of the kitchen.

Original credit goes to DCD (XDA) as I noticed this was a registry from his old Titan Kitchen.

I don't even have PollInterval. Added it and rebooting the device now. It's worth a try at least

Didn't have it either. I added it as a new DWORD, hope is right. I will post any difference. Thanks.

Would this help the battery life on the Titan too?

Not exactly sure, this is my first HTC device. However, I'm 90 percent sure(read thru the original thread) that this was first found on the Titan, so it should work.

To those who didn't have PollInterval, Juicy has had it in his rom, and so have a few others. I have a Sprint CDMA original rom, and it was in my registry.

However, the general consensus is that it's working great

I think this might only be for CDMA phones. I think I have seen this hint before in another forum and it was only for CDMA phones. I did apply it and it did no harm although I am not sure that it made any difference.

I think I will be addng it to my newly flashed ROM again.

I might have been incorrect when I said it works for GSM, it may not.

However, it is worth a try!

i don't believe the diamond has any battery life issues. it just has a small battery.

I have been using this tweak for a while and havent really noticed any big diff. Maybe 5min more of batt? if so. But every little bit helps

Greets to all.

I have the Key, but when I try to edit it (hex or decimal) I get.

"Write Error: Access Denied"

"Cannot Write Value Data. Try Again"

Anyone run into this issue before?

I am on a Stock ROM editing with CERegistyEditor.
