Increased Battery Performance On Sprint

stuckonashelf · #1 (**permalink**) 11-24-2008, 03:01 PM

Hey guys,

WOW. I have found a way to get an incredible amount of battery life from my Sprint Diamond. Last week I decided to give Winterface a shot and disabled TF3D. Now while it looks boring, I have found the battery life to be way better. I last charged the phone on friday afternoon at work about 5pm, and the thing did not warn me about a low battery until about 10pm Sunday night. That's with making fairly normal amount of calls, checking email regularly, taking a few photos and surfing lightly on the web. I will report back if things change but so far Im thinking wow I love Winterface

Wow... disabling an intense graphics program on a computer will make it draw less power?

why you got to be like that?

he's just giving advise, some people might not know why the Diamond takes so much battery life when being used

good tip. But I just as soon keep tf3d. Its one of the reasons I got the phone and with active sync set to sync once every hour (work hours), I get descent battery life for a day which is fine. That's with a good amount of data usage as well. Put the phone on the charger at night and repeat process.

This forum wouldn't be the same without your crabby-pants comments.

Really, it gets fairly old, especially raggin' on a guy who was trying to help.

Uh actually I have to agree with Tobey... I mean there are several threads already that say that TF3D disabled improves the battery life. And it was more funny than mean I thought.

the person has 9 posts. Probably new. Sifting through this forum can be a daunting task and a little frustrating.

He found something he thought could help the community. Guy didn't need to be made a joke of. Save that for the vets of the board who keep asking where something is.

I agree with this!
