Battery life... Is this right?

ghostyroasty · #1 (**permalink**) 01-31-2009, 12:01 PM

I am running Juggalo's latest rom for starters. I added in S2U2, so that was running. however, I laid for for an hour or so, and the battery life went from 100% to 90%. Just made a 14 minute call, and the battery life says 80%... Is this normal??? If so that is nuts!!!
If not, any suggestions?

I've found that regardless of who's Rom you use, the battery life has always been horrible on HTC devices

. That said, I always carry an extra battery and keep it charged

. Asied from battery life, the Pro rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks... I just switched over from the Mogul, which I actually loved. The battery life on it was better than this though.
I do love the pro though.. Just can't find a rom that I'm completely comfortable with. I was thinking about using a kitchen and doing my own, but with all the tweaks available, I figured I would just find a rom that was close to what I like, and add the programs manually.

Nice dachshund. Poor battery life seems to be a popular topic. I'm looking for a retractable charger (like a roll up cord)... any time a see an outlet.

Thanks... He is a hyper dog!

I might just find a car charger somewhere to be able to have a way to charge on the go. I'm rarely at my house.

I might do that as well. I saw that post this morning and pondered trying it out.

My tilt doesn't have the greatest battery life either. The TP's is worse most in part of the VGA display.
