Battery life improvement tweaks/cabs

[bamf]

Can you post what tweaks or cabs you are using that improve your battery life? I have searched and tried a couple things that didn't really work. I'm jealous of you guys who get 24+ hours battery life! I want to try everything possible before getting a new battery.

The biggest improvement I experienced was after adjusting the data setting. No cabs. Nothing really speecial, just:

-Turn off push internet pages
-Set my main e-mail accout to download once an hour, and the others for once a day
-Set weather to update at the maximum 30-minute setting
-Set stocks to update only on demand

With just these settings, I swap out batteries each morning before leaving for work at 6:00 AM (so pretty much 24 hrs of moderate use per charge).

For people with battery problems try this. It's a repost of mine from the TP1 days but works for me on the TP2 also. I've been doing this for a long time now, everytime I flash, and my battery life is always MUCH improved. It has worked for a lot of other people too. If anyone wants more of an explanation I can dig up more of the old posts. But basically the phone constantly polls the phone postion to mute the ring. There is a HD tweak for it but it never seems to change this entry.

Give it a try. I know it used to get cooked into TP1 Roms.


Here is the reg edit:

HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\
FaceDownMuteRing (change to 0)

Make sure to soft reset

Also make sure to switch your phone settings to "CDMA only." This setting alone dramatically improved my battery life.

This may be a stupid question but with this reg edit will my phone no longer mute the ringer once it's put face down?

Yes, this will turn off the mute on face down.

Ok. I did the registry tweak and changed network settings to cdma only. I have a nopushinternet cab installed and update weather and email manually. Anything else I really need to do? I swear I think its the battery.
