Battery Life
Hey folks... I know I risk sounding redundant asking this question... And I have done several searches regarding battery life, but can't seem to find a rom that is Battery Friendly...
So the question... What would anyone/everyone recommend that is battery friendly that is a current rom? I'm currently running Energy's Rom, but the battery doesn't seem to make it more than about 7 hours before it's shot... Then back on the damn charger. Thanks Tim

Re: Battery Life
Are you in an area with weak signal? Do you have your data connection constantly on?
Both will cause the Touch Pro to use more resources. Try flashing a different radio to get a better signal. Short answer: If you're in an area with weak signal no matter what radio you're using, you will never have a good battery life. That is, unless you just put it into airplane mode.

Other things to keep in mind: 1)Push e-mail takes a lot of power 2)Using your phone excessively will kill it quite quickly 3)Using the browser a lot (or any networking app that uses data) will cut down the battery life. 4)Any program that is CPU-intensive will kill the battery quicker. I guess the point is this, don't use Energy ROM if you want battery life and use the phone and it's features in moderation if you are not hooked up to a charger. To put it into perspective, I get 14-18 hours of batterly life with MSN always on, Myphone set to sync once a day, push e-mail active, and moderate usage of the phone (playing a few games, a few calls, texts, the browser a few times a day). If wanted to, I can use my battery up within an hour (try running a torrent application and wifi router at the same time if you don't care about your battery ).

Re: Battery Life
What motorius said...
I have 3 email accounts, one is an exchange account that used to suck my battery dry on heavy email traffic days. I now have activesync setup to only update every 15 minutes during peak hours and I have it set to manually update after peak hours. I also no longer download attachments automatically and I limit the email size to 20k... although this sounds restrictive I haven't noticed that it has limited the usability for me. It has given me consistent battery life. I run NFS's rom and I pull the phone off the charger at 6am and put it back on at 10pm... I'm usually at 40% battery (although I'll admit I'm not a heavy user). I did try out energyrom, I was typically down to 20% or less battery by the end of the day... nice looking ROM though. |
