Here you go

Thanks

Does your rom have a percentage on the task bar for battery life remaining?

[intx]

Yeah. It's only by 10 percent though.

[marco27]

thats fine which one do u use, do u have a picture of your taskbar or start icon, i was looking for one myself.

[intx]

It's the same basic one except with a green battery icon and a vista orb start icon

Do you know where i can get the default one that came with the stock rom, its the squarish coloured start button icon?

[intx]

Hmm, there is a thread over at XDA for customizing your taskbar, that should have it.

I'm not exactly sure.

Hi marco, I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Here is the info for my essentially new Bell Diamond:

ROM version: Mighty Rom 4.8
Radio: Telus 1.04.05V
How long I owned the phone: less than 1 month
Battery: 1340 mAh
Phone model: Bell Diamond
Number of idle processes: 17
Average idle resource usage: 50%

Here are some Battery Monitor stats when the phone is idle:

CBI Value: 46%
CBI Value Temp: 49%
Discharge Current: 57 mA
Temperature: 30 degrees C
Main Battery Voltage: 3789 mV

In addition, all connections are turned off except for Phone and Data Connection which is usually on idle (email and weather set to sync every 2 hours)

With what was mentioned, my phone usually only lasts a day with making just a few calls and sending a few text and email messages. I am also in a region with good coverage.

I am extremely happy with the phone other than the poor battery life I'm getting. I never owned a PDA before, but I am assuming they should last longer than 14 hours per charge.

Hopefully you can shed some light on the situation. Thanks.

Very simple solution-just get Mighty 3.9 and You get 48 hrs on singe charge...I run many roms and kichens but never got better battery live than on 3.9. combination with telus radio...

So how does 3.9 differ from 4.8?
