you must be doing nothing on your phone at all.

This is the settings I use on mine. I need the roam option for when I am at work. Battery life is fine.




Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting
Change AllowRoaming to 0 (not sure if this is needed or not)
Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\NetworkService
Change ItemCount to 3 (instead of 2)
Create a new String called ItemName3 with the value of "Roam Only" (without quotes)
Create a new DWord called ItemValue3 with a value of 3
and
do the reg entries in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing
change ItemCount to 3
New string: ItemName3 Value- Roaming.
New Dword: ItemValue3 Value- 3

This is exactly the same as the trick for HTC Touch.

I find this hard to believe. I can't get 22 hours with my phone turned off.

Jugalo.. will any of these tweaks work with my Airave? When I'm within my Airave area, my diamond seems to still be searching for EV coverage, so it will have 0-2 bars.. and if i make a call or send a text i have 7 bars on 1X coverage.. is there a way for the diamond to lock onto 1X when i'm using the Airave?

I did the edits but all it does is look for service. I did them to the "T" just as explained and it still doesnt work. Even went to the top of a 26 story building in Daytona Beach and it still just searches for service.

i only get 1x when roaming is there a way to get ev ?

I really don't suggest doing this. Having your phone "roam" all the time will destroy you battery life and likely get you kicked off your service provider.

No it won't. It will only destroy battery is signal is weak -- whether roaming or on home network. Roaming can drastically improve battery life, if signal on your home network is weak and roaming is better.
