crazy battery life.... I LOVE THIS PHONE

I installed the disable proxy cab and that other ssk cab in addition to the TP2 essentials cab.

Yesterday I got over 36 hrs and still had 40% before i put it back on the charger. The phone is snappy now that opera proxy has been disable. I'm just hoping this change isn't temporary.

Mods: tp2 essentials, proxy cab, ssk cab, tf3d disabled, SPB MS 3.5

Thanks.

frees more ram but slows down the start of opera. i got the cab from here. can't find the url at the moment.

i'm a heavy users... checking 5 email accounts. sync with exchange every 30 min. i talk about 6k a month. nice to have a phone that lasts all day... i've had batteries for my tp, mogul, touch, 6700 and treo 700wx... this is the first one that won't need it.

Are you able to share the cabs you mention? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You must not talk on the phone alot. Just using data and txts seem to take the TP2 a long way. But if you talk a lot, you are lucky to even get 8 hours without plugging it in. Otherwise, it does have great battery life. The only other HTC phone I have had that came close to it was the Touch.

I get maybe 4 or 5 hours of straight talk time off of a full charge usually. sometimes it really depends on the day though.
