I just wanted to confirm that this registry edit seems to be a God-send! I have had my Diamond for a week. I do a fair amount of texting (20-30) in a morning, as well as PushEffect on one account. I also have a mail2web account set to sync "as items arrive". I then have a gmail account set for 30 min retrieval intervals. I also run SMS chat, and Inbox tones, I use TF3d, and I'm on Sprint's stock rom. I don't use a lot of voice, but maybe 30 minutes a day (this week I have used very little because of the poor battery life I've been experiencing). I take the phone off the charger about 6:45 and about 11:30 I am getting the critical "low battery" message and need to plug in immediately (because I get about 5-10 minutes before it shuts off completely) That's just about 5 hours of use. Not acceptable!

I made this registry edit last night, and today I have been off the charger for a little over 9 hours, with 30 minutes of voice, 30 minutes of YouTube viewing (I have to laugh at Shane Mercado doing Beyonce, hilarious) about 30 texts, 30 emails (opened & replied) and playing with MusicID for about 15 min, and VoiceCommand (which is totally cool) for about 20 minutes...and I JUST got the error message. I'd say that's a hell of an improvement! Oh! And I installed Gyrator this morning and let it run for this duration (I heard it can drain the battery pretty quick too? My phone froze twice so I deleted it.....I do love it though!)

I also have not had NEAR the heat on my unit as I usually do, and I'm THRILLED!!! Why in the world wouldn't the manufacturer's make this unit to run with the highest capacity available? I just don't understand why WE have to tweak in order to get the best performance from our phones, it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I feel like I'm a good test of battery life, so I wanted to share! (of my 100 posts, I've asked questions in like 97 of them, so I figured I should try to contribute! lol)

Thanks!
