Re: Impressively horrible battery life

There are so many topics already on here that deal with battery life. I get 2 days with light use out of my Touch Pro, about a day if I am browsing and sending emails constantly. It really depends which programs you are running and how much data you use a day. Here is how I have mine set up.

NueDynamicClock - 528 Mhz when in use, 256 Mhz when screen dims, 19.2 Mhz when backlight off, 19.2 Mhz when suspended.

This saves MASSIVE battery life, with absolutely no delay or slowdown with the phone at all. The phone underclocks itself when not in use, and otherwise its running full speed.


Data disconnect - Set to 1 minute

This saves massive battery life as well. It turns your idle EVDO connection off as soon as you are no longer using it. So everytime your IMAP email is checked, the phone uses data for maybe a minute and then its turned back off, so you don't leave an idle EVDO connection active all day. It saves MASSIVE battery life. EVDO connections are re-established as soon as you need them to be, automatically, without any input needed from the user. You can adjust this setting in a program called Diamond Tweak under Data. The only setback with this program currently is that you cannot answer a phone call when you are using data with this tweak enabled. It becomes annoying the few rare times it happens, but personally, calling someone back immediately is a small price to pay for the massive battery savings this tweak offers.


For other settings, i have my email checking once an hour to limit the number of data connections that have to be established. I have my screen brightness set to maximum, with the automatically adjust setting enabled. I don't have any programs which are running which establish data connections on their own at all, which is key if you are attempting to have the phone usable for a couple days.
