Unfortunately, I've no SIM card to try this with. Hopefully, I can find a way to fix it which won't require a purchase.

RE Battery:
I just hit a milestone - one that I have not passed on the TP2 up until now. I have now gone 48.5 hours on a SINGLE charge! And....I still have 40% left. I'm going to carry my spare battery with me to see how far I can go before I have to swap out.

Kiowa, when I first flashed 9/4 it seemed like my battery dropped VERY fast but after a couple days it did settle in and has been stellar ever since.

I have been doing a lot of Facebooking, texting and wifi tethering for the last couple days and its been great. Also taken several pictures, checked the weather many times and lots of texting.

I may have gotten lucky with a "good" phone in that everything just works great. Overclocking has been rock solid at 729 and I may bump it up a little when I get home to see how things work.

Like I said yesterday though I AM using a non-OEM battery that may be the reason things are so good.

For anyone interested, I got it as a "set" on amazon for under $30.00. I got two 1800mAh batteries and a "pocket" wall charger that the battery slips into. So, I always have one battery charged and one in the phone. I also have my OEM as a backup incase I need it. Up until now, I have been on the new 1800mAh battery. At the rate I've been going, I'm guessing that I'll be switching out sometime this afternoon.

as for the 24xxx base, it seems like it is "more" finger friendly than 23xxx. Momentum scrolling seems more fluid and like NRG said, it is "FAST" (besides the overclocking)

Hope y'all are doing well!

David

Ok David, what kind of setup are you using on the battery... I would love to get 24 hours... better yet 8 hours.. Now I do a lot of facebook, interneting and move well over 150 text per day... emails from outlook and gmail... will to order a non oem battery if its going to help....

Out of curiosity:

For those who have 40-50+ hours of usage on a single charge- do you guys have a data plan?

The battery life is awesome- but I cannot go past 20 hours on a single charge. Just yesterday I unplugged at 2 in the afternoon, but by 12 at night, I had the 10% warning

Yeah I have a data plan (unlimited), just some builds/dates have better battery life than others. Plus what helps increase your battery life is to not charge it when its not dead... Wait for ur 10 percent warning, then FULLY charge with the AC adapter. I always make sure I dont turn LOCATION SERVICES on, that is a battery hog, I try not to browse too often since Opera is a hog also (plus it hogs memory). I average great battery life & I live in a poor signal area

EDIT: Try MAXX's battery saving cab, that should improve ur battery life greatly!!

Have you found MAXX's battery cab to be an improvement over HYPNOTIC's cab?

I dont use battery saving cabs at all but I would trust MAXX's cab over HYPNOTIC's cab

91 MB free after sense loads!

Settles @ 86ish as screen darkens after 3 min. I'm running this right now!!!

You're not going to believe this...
What would you be willing to give up to get this?
Still have Sense & Cookie, same...

OCMan StartMenu Replacement, yep... 10 to 20 megs more by dumping the startmenu & getting this one! So, yes, you need to start using the sense settings, but all other settings are still there as zprogramname
Download & XDA thread
ATTACHMENTS to that thread... all downloads

I ran this one first: Arto Start menu Remover wm6.5.x.cab

Don't use OCMan startmenu as in post! Will be making thread on this soon

I like FdcSoft_StartMenuv1.7_WM6.cab
Like the old Quick Menu NRG use to have in his ROM's last Jan/Feb.

**the top left corner activates it, so either dump arkswitch or move the activation field over a bit with menu @ the bottom right
** it also puts a little menu pop up icon, so if you hit the right side of your right softkey it displays all tasks/apps, hit the left side & you get the menu button (R softkey)
**you can also map it to your windows key, use the included X-Button settings program. Start button tap, more slider right, click select an application,
**Use your back arrow instead of the x button
**The first time you use it, it's slow in to the startmenu... it builds icons, etc.. How often do you really need to go into startmenu?

Loaded with apps & wifi router right now, still 73MB free... HA! LOL!!!

Im using the Sept 4 24XXX CHT Dinik Glass rom with all the animations turned off,no auto update for anything,i do turn location services ON tho to improve my GPS location overall.Ive used the Maxx Batt Saver cab and it does help but it only made about a 10-15% difference for me,so i dont use it. The battery life is pretty good on the sept 4 rom anyway. The battery drains to about %80 within a cpl hours usually but between 80% down to 40% lasts almost 16-18 hours and I get about 20-26 hours of battery life depending on how hard i use my phone.
I think in the post mentioned above that guy got such good battery life because his battery is new and is 1800mah and my stock battery is 1500mah and is 10 month old and has powered alot of different roms and been used pretty hard. So a new 1800mah battery would probly get about 25-50% more battery life depending on how badly degraded the stock battery is.
Its is a good idea to let the battery totally discharge before rechrging but with the batteries in our devices being lithium ion batteries u really dont need to let the phone fully discharge before recharging very often. If u let the battery discharge to 10% once a week thats plenty. The fully discharge before recharge method comes from the old NiCD batteries that powered the very first cell phones.If Nicad batteries werent totally discharged before being recharged they developed whats called battery memory and would soon go bad and not hold a charge anymore.lithium batteries like lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries dont develope a memory so they are safe to recharge at any battery life level,whether its 10% or %80 its ok to recharge. I only fully discharge my battery before i recharge it once a week and its more for the devices benefit than for the batterys benefit.So the device gets the battery drain and some other settings correct.Its best to let the battery fully discharge before recharging especially after a fresh flash. Thats the best time to do it i think.After that once a week is plenty.My phone is always at about 10-20% when i go to recharge anyway.

Would it be possible for anyone to provide me with a link to the release just prior to the september 4th release of the 24xxx standard energy rom? Whatever the last one in August was.

I always used HYPNOTIC's battery tweak and now moved to MAXX. Hypnotic battery tweak has been out for some time now and roms and registries have evolved with new buulds. MAXX tweak came out newly with newest registries.

Both have done a noticeable difference, but honestly, haven't benchmarked either one of them. Both are pretty good but can't say which is better.
