Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?

[SKS06460]

Mugen Power 3000 mAH lasts about 5 days or 120 hours.
The OEM 1340 mAH battery lasts about 20 hours.
SOMETHING is wrong. I'm wondering if there is a very large batch of bad OEM batteries ?

I too wonder about the original batteries, I've tried asking before but nobody responds. When you use battery monitor, it gives a batteryid as the first field. I would have thought this would be a number to identify your battery and let you track it versus a different one, like a short serial number, since it's only 3 digits long. What I think is strange is that this number changes on my batteries while they're still in the phone. Is this number supposed to be a stable value? Who wrote the battery monitor that is on lots of roms? Temperature is unchanging on the monitor at 30 degrees centigrade, but my batteryid value varies lots! Is it possible my battery is bad because this value changes? What does your Mugen battery read as batteryid? Does it change?

When you say you get that kind of usage on your 3000mah battery, do you really go 5 days without putting it on a charger at all? I put mine on the charger in the car or it's on the charger when syncing (and of course I put mine on the ac charger all night every night). Do you really not charge at all for 5 days! I guess I'm just a chargeaholic! 5 days without a charge, where's the fun in that! lol

i use the custom diamonds roms and use different ones on a daily basis. I change every day to different roms. I also use kitchens and do different things with those,,,, i switched 4 times today... Now I also have an extended battery from mugen power that is 3000 mha.

Actually my battery is doing so much better now it's not a problem. Hmm!

the door is different, so you will need to purchase a door off of ebay for the mugen power 3000 mha diamond battery... that door should work...

I don't know if it's a windows mobile thing or what, but any one rom doesn't seem to stand out (for me at least) on superior battery life span, maybe i'm missing something but here's what i do for my loads..
turn off:
auto - GPS, RSS, weather, pocket express, etc updates
mail - (both yahoo, hotmail) 4 hrs check
disable - beam, wifi, wireless, etc, etc
battery - lower screen brightness to almost nothing, disable the auto adjust

still only getting barely through a day
what I do know is that my bldg that I work sucks big time for signal, so the switching is almost constant and I have done the 1x only only switch and it only gets a bit better. Most of the time, I try not to use it at all (few texts (10 is pushing it) is about all i can manage or it dies before I can reach a charger)

that's my take but is the phone just that bad for battery or am i missing something

- For those that are worse, check those settings, might help you some, but there has to be more.

- Oh and on MR6 (used MR 4, Juicy, ATR, fufu, calc's, int, and a few others, all about the same though)

dunno, maybe that's just as good as it gets

i want a 10,000 mha battery the size of the current extended battery. I want it to have solar cells on the back with a clear cover so that it will charge via light..... I think it shoudl also recharge in as little as 10 minutes... i know they are working on fast charge in that time frame...

1 ) How long does your battery last? 2 hrs the most
2 ) Which ROM are you running? WM6.1_192DPI_VGA_21042_0409 but it doesn't matter they all give about the same result. I must have a charger near by.
3 ) What tweaks have you done besides what came with your ROM?
4 ) How many text messages do you approximately receive a day? 10 could be more.
5 ) How many minutes on the phone do you spend on the average each day? 2hrs at least. No house phone
6 ) How many data related activities do you do? Include how frequent you check e-mail. hotmail and exchange pushing email all day. at least 20 - 40 email. Plus a touch of web browsing and some google maps here and there plus some phone as modem here and there.
7 ) Do you use bluetooth or wi-fi a lot and how much? not at all unless testing something.
8 ) Do you have any practical suggestions not already mentioned?

Yikes. You should do some hacking to get that way up. You could have a bad battery.

I've been using my device for 3 days after my last charge and I am typing this on it now so I'd say that's pretty good although right now the screen is tur............................................... .................................................. ...............................
