In 4 hours the battery is half way dead?? That does not sound good to me. I mean is there something I am doing wrong? Its sad when you have a phone but dont want to use it for the sake of conserving battery for longer than a 7 hour period. I cant even talk on my phone without it dropping 10-20%. 
Edit: Maybe I will have better luck with V2 cuz just flashed it today. |
If I use this rom moderately during the day, I will have 70% after 8hrs on average. that's with some push email during the day, some 30 minute sync of two email accounts. 3/5 calls under 30-45 minutes, several data sessions but not constant so intervals of 5-10 minutes at a time.
One thing I do frequently is charge my phone at night, in the morning when its full, I take it off the charger and put it back on and it will charge another 20 minutes or more. You can see with battery monitor installed that it will stay above 100% for up to an hour. HTC needs a better solution but if I dont charge like this I would probably lose about 10% in the first hour. I agree though that the point of these phones is to use them but the battery life just doesnt match the capabilities. Its the same for every other ppc, iphone, and android device. Not ideal for sure.
edit: also should say that I am in great coverage area at work, data speeds are 1300kbs and up so signal is excellent.
