Have you taken a look at the Cleanup cab? I ran just the update one (not the one from a Hard Reset) and was amazed at the amount of memory freed up. GoodThingsToLife did some great work.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

do you have anything installed on it. is gps on do you use S2U2? you gonna have to be more specific.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

There is something drastically wrong if the battery is 1/2 dead in one hour of use.

Did you try hard resetting the system??

I pull the battery out and reset the phone. It didnt work . I did some research today then I saw my email setup which checks my 3 different email account every 15 min, 30 min and 45 min. I went to the setting and put it once a day. So now I dont know wht will happen next.
No I didnt install anything. I am going to do with my phone until the WM 6.5 comes out.
I didn't install any gps prog. S2U2 .. its all factory..
Now I didnt do clean cab. I dont know what exactly will do that. I might try it couple of days later to see what happen next after I changed the setting..

I didn't explain too clearly but the cleanup cab sets things to specifically optimize battery life. Since I am new to winmo I found it very helpful.

Does S2U2 have an adverse effect on battery?

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

My touch pro 2 battery life is easily doubled my touch pro's. Plus the TP2 is stock! If your battery is like that then I'd take it to sprint and get another battery.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

That is one of the main complaints about s2u2.

When I swapped from s2u2 to Pocketshield by battery life noticeably increased.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

yes S2U2 has a effect on your battery if your setting aren't set right to prevent battery loss.

there have been a few cases when the battery that was sent with your phone was not a good battery to begin with. i would suggest that you take your phone back your cell phone provider and let them know your battery is draining way to quickly and they should replace it.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Have you disabled HTC's "Push Internet"? If it's polling and you are in a crappy coverage area or deep in the bowels of a corporate prairie dog farm, that might do it... as would any other app running in the background that needs to periodically hit the internet for updates (stocks, weather, etc.)

I installed s2u2 from thread here. phew! I especially like the Stargate puddlejumper wallpaper! Will keep an eye on battery, thanks for heads up.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Im gonna have to concur on the Good thing to life Clean up cab but I would do a hard reset first and there are 2 other cabs that will give you better battery life the no push internet can (as stated before) and the Dynamic resource cab.

You can find them here.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Where did you find the puddle jumper wallpaper? I wanted to see how it looks.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

How do u access or install the clean up cab ( i have the TP2)?? im soo new 2 all this and completely lost!! :newb:

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Polling that your talking about has nothing to do with the internet.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

my battery dies REALLY fast as well && idk y bcuz i dont really have anything installed on it. jus the basic stuff && my emails (2)

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

Can ANY1 help me figure out how 2 get my battery 2 last longer and not drain so fast?? Ive seen sum post abt a cleanup cab but i have NO idead how 2 access or install tht program.

Also, I want 2 b able 2 delete single call entries from my call history but it only gives me the option 2 delete ALL:-x Is it at all possible 2 just delete the calls u want 2 delete from ur call log??

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

I think it depends on how you use it...I three push email accounts on I have push internet on two sites, one for every hour and one every 6 hours...I listen to online radio to and from work, hour each way...talk anywhere from 90min to 120min or more talk time on Bluetooth and my battery last from 7:30am when I take it off the charger to about 3pm to 5pm...That’s some heavy usage. my touch pro didn’t even last to 1pm with very light conservative usage

but on the weekends I just talk a lot on my phone and on a single battery I can get from Saturday morning at 8am to Sunday afternoon

I have two batteries and I always do a full drain before charging, so a lot of times I can go to full days without charging...so there must be something wrong with your battery or phone...take it back and exchange it, and if they give you a hard time with it then call tech support, they have to exchange it

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

Go here find the one you need, download it, save it to your mem card open it and it will do the rest.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

Also interested in this...anyone figure this out?

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

out of my league you would have to tweak the registry for that.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life

Anyways I think i am going to call sprint tomorrow and get a new battery. Thx guys I will let u know guys what happens after that..

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Thunder I am with sprint over 10 years.. I never had any problem with them never had any drop calls.. and no I dont live in crappy coverage area or deep in the bowels of a corporate prairie dog farm. I live in very good area and I get very good coverage. Anyways I will check the setting to disable Push internet and let u know guys how it goes.

Thx

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Ok .... now where the hell i find that option ??? :(

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

lol there is a cab for that here.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

but I find this to be the best and probably what your looking for.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

The only way 2 delete a single call is to actually delete all incoming and outgoing calls from a specific number. CALLHISTORY>TAP ICON 2 THE RIGHT (THIS OPENS ALL CALLS FROM THAT #)>MENU>DELETE>YES. That's it only way.

BOO B)

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

the battery life rocks on the touch pro 2! try carrying the touch pro that battery life is the worst even beats the moto razor as the worst for battery life. I would hard reset the phone save only contacts and calendar. Then go into the power portion and drop down the shut off times and bring down the display light. The tap to x setting is by default set to the right selection as it was not on the touch pro. Good luck

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

on my TP2 running the stock today screen with a few addons not TF3D i get about 2 1/2 days out of a charge...been pleasantly surprised

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Ok i turned of everything .. except the phone.. well it seems like my stupid email was checking emails... now i am getting better battery life.. :D I am going to buy a spare battery.. what u guys think about high capacity battery.. which one will be the best one?? any advice ?? :)

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

So what I have been noticing (been wrestling bad battery life for a while now) is coming right out of touch flow my discharge current is around 200, 250 mAH. When sitting inside my power monitoring program, I seem to be hovering between 50-150 mAH. This would be in line with the life I am seeing (around 12-14 hours). All I have installed is exchange internet, and push internet is off. What could be drawing this type of power constantly on my phone? Anyone else see this much current draw? Thanks!

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

and remember the tp has a delay in battery amount listed

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Ok.. I dont wanna read this whole thread. So can one of you telkl me whast the average lifespan of the pro2? Pro1 gives me like 4 hours on heavy usage.

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life/deleting call history
 

Liltappr10 & Inimcal: You can delete all the calls from a specific person. Just go to them in the Contacts application and click on the call history tab. Then delete the calls there. It still makes you delete them all, but it just deletes all of your calls with them...

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

Alternative is to buy a extended battery that lasts %30 longer than stock:

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

well the average life of my first 2 TP2s was like 3 days...lol but Im not sure about the battery. (if thats what you meant.)


CW

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

get about 2 days normal usage. but i also now have 2 spare batteries if I want to hit the Porn :)

Re: Sprint TP2 Poor Battery Life
 

I'm around 12-14 hours myself with google sync (push) and GoNews RSS updating every 4 hours...a few texts and emails and 3 minutes of calls...not great but I make it to about 9-10pm and then just plug it into the charger...if I'm out hittin' the parties till late (although that was a past life - not this one) I have an old car charger to juice it up a little...

Mine has never been able to go 2 days...I've had a few days where I've been able to make it to the end of the day with 50% or so but that's when I haven't touched the phone all day...that is not "normal usage" to me...I think my main problem is that I work from home half the day and I do not have good reception here...and once in awhile it switches back and forth from EVDO to 1x...
