This morning I got it off the charger on 9:30am with 100%, did not make a single phone call, only read about 20mins ebook on Haali reader, then majority of time in standby, now at 3:31pm, I have only 46% left. Previously one charge held about 2 days for me with my normal usage (a few short calls, web and ebooks). Now it's a bit too fast. I remember two days ago, I charged it overnight with the phone shut off, got it off the charger and powered it up, when it loaded up everything I got 93% power left which means a single power up used up 7% of the battery?

That's actually a limitation of the 1% battery read. The first 10% are just not that accurate according to everything I've ever read. This has been an issue for a while. I am looking to see what could be causing the additional drain though, just in case there is something interacting in an unexpected way. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

yep, the battery reading from 100 - 90% is useless, probably why the oem battery icons don't show percentages. The latest Calcu kitchen has additional battery tweaks which I'm sure you have seen like the one that polls for rotation less and i know he uses the battery polling fix setting it to check battery levels much less but enough not to show big drops. In any event, I did not notice a big draw in battery performance, not anything out of the ordinary that is. thanks Gadget. good to hear you are feeling better!

Kinda strange in my case then. I have set the backlight in auto mode, max range is in lower half of the capacity. No push internet, no programs running in the back. Did not manually input any reg edit for battery as I thought it's already included.

But I also noticed that the battery indicator may be off, now it's 9:39pm, I still have 28% left after two-three phone calls, 10 min~ web and ebook. Looks like the numbers dropped faster, but it slowed down when at lower level (say from lower than 30% of the full charge, the number of % changes slower). Any way to calibration the battery?

P.S: I do notice that from time to time the data connection was turned on somehow when I wake up the phone, but there's no application running for data connection though. I linked the facebook account in Manila contacts though.

The battery life is usually crappy for me during the first day or two, but then it goes back to normal.

ROM is working great. Very smooth and stable so far. Good work!

The battery life on the Diamond is let's say "not the best" anyways. I have always had a few issues with any ROM concerning the battery. This is a great ROM for stability and appearance. Great JOb Gadget!!

One week running and still not a single bug, thanks a lot, great work!

Okay, waiting to see what Calkulin has up his sleeve next. Once that is up, I should have new versions posted soon.
