Thanks for that... I ended up re-cooking a rom with the battery meter and put quick menu on to kill active sync and its running alright at the moment
Still chewing power quicker than it was the other day tho.

I too, have been having terrible battery life lately, but one thing that I noticed is that the phone seems to charge really fast. Less than 15 minutes on the charger and its at 90 to 100%. I don't seem to remember the battery ever charging that fast. (I also don't remember having the battery die after only a 25 minute call and 5 minutes of checking email.)

You might have a defective battery.

I have 1 LiPo 1500 and 2 oem 1350s. They all behave the same.

I just upgraded to radio 1.43 and really don't see any difference yet.

here's the story i had nochem 5060 and it was alright battery life, a few weeks later some messed up and i did a hard reset... then I had the bestbattery life ever...then I was upgrading to 5061a and then my battery life was horrible, so I flashed back 5060 but it's just alright... so i'm hope flashin back to 59 then to 60 then hard rest will make it good again

***update...
so it worked the way I thought. my key was I flashed to 5059 let it run that config.txt thing then directly flashed 5060. let it run that config.txt thing to and then did a hard reset. I also made sure my battery was around 60% and stuff when I did that. Then I installed all my programs wit the exceptions the mobitv hack and zuma. I charged my battery to full and then took it off the charger. went on the internet and streamed a few youtube video to get the battery around 93-94%. Once I did that I tested it and left it off the charger while I went to sleep and work up this morning and took a look at the battery... and I was at 93% still and that was after goin to bed at about 6am and just not wakin up around 12pm...So I hope this helps anyone

Hey Hotboy, I believe you are talking about the Titan Kitchen. This thread is in the Apache upgrades forum. While we value your input, I doubt this will help with our issue much.

thanx for this advice. It really helped as far as battery life. At least ABC Power is telling me that the system is idling at 80 mah instead of 200 at all times. I'll update tomorrow.

I'm assuming my origianl OEM battery is shot because when I run a fresh charge and monitor with acbPowerMeter, I only get approx 400 mAh of total power before the low battery warning starts to chime.

What are people with new LiPo slim batteries getting for total mAh?

If your battery charges quickly, it is probably bad. My phone's battery behaved like that, and the battery level dropped from 100% to 60% within 30 minutes with no activities. Finally I purchased a battery on amazon.com (Dekcell Battery for Audiovox PPC6700, PPC 6700, XV6700, PN. BTR6700, BTR6700B), sold by SF Planet, for $11 (incl. shipping). The capacity is 1500mAh vs. my original 1350 mAh from UTStarcom. The new battery's level stayed at over 70% after a day (well, I didn't make any call, only about 30min or so internet surfing).

according to the reviews for the dekcell is appears to be the same mAh as the OEM battery. Can you please double check because I'm thinking of getting a couple. Thanks
