At least when I breifly changed to the windows dialer, that's how it did me.
How much battery life are you getting?
I am on a custom ROM with the C4RBON kitchen, and I still desire more juice.

Hi grant, I posted this earlier in this thread - I'm on the Stock ROM and I'm not really interested in flashing the ROM until I've had it for a while.. I still am not positive I love this thing yet....lol Today I've been off the charger since 6:45 am and it's now 10:36. I've used quite a bit of texting and email, 20 min of voice or so, and I was at the gym for about 45 min (they have a horrible signal in there) - I don't have a battery meter, but I still have 2 bars on my battery level. I'm going to guess that I will have another couple of hours but I don't know for certain. I'll report back later. At first I was getting about 4 hours, on Saturday after the reg edit, I was at 9 hours before I needed to charge.
from my previous post:
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 low battery 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!)
