Link?

You have to do a reg edit, then you can run the MortScript.

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
1 ) How long does your battery last? 29hrs and still counting.
2 ) Which ROM are you running? EnergyROM3
3 ) What tweaks have you done besides what came with your ROM? battery tweaks, Mode Operation set to 1X Only
4 ) How many text messages do you approximately receive a day? 25-75
5 ) How many minutes on the phone do you spend on the average each day? 1-3 hrs
6 ) How many data related activities do you do? None, I don't have a Data plan, NoData FTW
7 ) Do you use bluetooth or wi-fi a lot and how much? Bluetooth - not yet, getting ready to||Wi-Fi - 20 min MAX
8 ) Do you have any practical suggestions not already mentioned? Just because you switch ROMS and get better battery life/performance does not mean that the tweaks you had on the previous ROM are still in the new ROM. Always double-check your Reg settings, you might find that some settings are not what they were before. Oh, and get 6.5 :)

I'll update later, I just found some new tweaks and have had the phone @ 100 percent since 12:00PM today, so I'm going to run it until it dies and get back. @ 70 percent now. ETD: 1-1.5 days hopefully, I'll leave it unplugged tonight.

EDIT: 29 hours and still going. 20% battery life left, made a few extra battery tweaks today.

Wow Clutchypoo that's a long lasting battery. I wish mine lasted that long but you get twice as many texts or three times as many as I do.

Do you guys know of any good battery saver cabs? Thanks.

Rabid_Gypsy 08-06-2009 05:42 PM

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
I got my battery yesterday, and looking at the instructions made me think. How often are people with good battery life going between ROM flashes vs. how long are the people with craptastic battery life going between flashes? The instructions with my battery are to fully charge for 8 hours min. and they say that I may need 5 or 6 full discharges/recharges to notice big gains. I wonder if the phone has a bit of a battery memory itself and if you keep flashing, it forgets. I know that I usually need a couple charges to get any sort of reliable battery life. Just a thought.

There isn't a cab but just searching for regedits and some of the hacks mentioned in this thread and others seem to help. There was a nice guide posted in another recent thread about battery life but the name escapes me.

I know this is true of GSM with Edge vs 3G, but I never really tried it much with Sprint.

My brother-in-law's Diamond is lucky to last through a day (mostly text messaging).

i recently made the switch from evdo to 1x, because at work it was constantly switching, after i went with 1x it has last me at least close to 6 hours....

and another tweak that i have is with the "diamond tweak" that disconnect the data at requested time.... that has also save me a lot of juice

I'm up in Canada in vacation, banff, jasper, yoho, cell phone coverage is the pits! Worst battery usage ever! I do find setting 1x helps, so does roaming only, but still drains like no other! best to just leave it off!

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
1 ) About 4 days in stand-by, like 40 hours when talking/texting/data
2 ) Juicy 8
3 ) Nothing
4 ) 50
5 ) 40
6 ) I'm going to put it in hours/week... around 50
7 ) Yes, 24 hours
8 ) Not at this time

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
I think the trick to keeping the phone alive is to have the screen turn off as quickly as possible. One thing I did recently and it helped my battery life was using a screen locking program (S2U2) that works well with your screen settings and have it turn off the screen within a minute.

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
1 ) Less than 12h if I listen to music/watching movies/just doing stuff with it..
2 ) 1.93.413.3 SVE
3 ) Like everything you can do in Diamond TF3D Config and Advanced Configuration Tool including enabling every "power management" in the tool too.
4 ) Less than 1.
5 ) Depends, 1-2 excluding listening to music.
6 ) Not much at all, check my mail when I'm not at home and have to check it.
7 ) Not much, all disabled right now.
8 ) No.

I will probably get my 1800 mAh battery today since the 900 mAh clearly isn't enough.

MrObvious 08-10-2009 02:16 PM

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
Yeah you're on GSM so it may be slightly different.

ArtQ 08-10-2009 07:21 PM

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
Wow, is the Diamond eating so much battery really? I got my 1800 mAh today and I charged it for about 7 hours before I turned on my phone. It went down to 97 almost instantly and it's just going down and down and down.. Maybe it's because it's new and everything and I have to charge it few times before it reaches it's full capacity, but wow, HTC gotta do something about this. My Sony Ericsson w800i got a 900 mAh battery and I can listen to music on it for 48 hours straight or more without the battery dying. Sad HTC, sad.

Find a way to kill Opera9. If I were you go to XDA and download a custom ROM for your phone.

Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?
 
I like to make a observation that I have made since my post last night.
So I charged it fully yesterday morning till about 9 am, had it on the charger for a little bit, maybe 30-45 in the evening and I am still trying to kill the batter now 11am. Now when I woke up at 8 am it said it was low so when I checked on it and there was a back screed and it did not seem to come on I thought good its finally dead, I noticed the weal light still flashing and it was kinda hot again not sure what it was up to, so removed the battery to see which was hotter and stuck it back in turned it back on and it is still going. Now here is what I wonder other then recharging only when it needs it when you first get it and I do mean needs it cause its dead, if it lies and tell you the battery is almost dead when the batter still seems to have the better part of a few hours to go.
Well I will keep trying so I can see if I can get a 100% charge

Cool beans Bright. I would suggest going to MightyROM or another custom ROM and your battery life will improve dramatically. :D

i like MR but they are all great at improving over stock life. These things almost seem to have the "ghost in the machine" syndrome, you just need to find the one that works best on yours and your set.
