TP eating battery life
 

I have the extended battery in my TP and I can still BARELY get a day out of it with just simple use, all i really use it for day to day is texting, mabye about 10 min of calls and about 5 min on the internet. Is there any ROMS that could fix this battery issue ?

Moved to the Touch Pro forum.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

what rom are you using is it stock or any custom roms and is it cdma or gsm

you need to request this thread to be closed or the other one since you posted one of the same topic in the tp forum.


ok for the kinda use you explain you do and to be getting that type of battery life there has to be a bigger issue,my reg. batt on my tp that was purchased in april last longer than that,and i use my device pretty heavy,how old id it? do you use any batt tweak apps? which rom are you running? throw a lil more info so we can help you out

I am currently using RZ Baseline_28008_ti . Ive tried to load Energy ROM and some others and it just sticks at the "Please wait, Phone is starting up" and i have to flash back to an old ROM. I have been told that was because VZW has a gimp TP, but i am willing to try any ROM, I just want a phone that will last over a day lol

Re: TP eating battery life
 

The battery is less than 30 days old, new in box. It is the 1800MaH battery

Re: TP eating battery life
 

first install stock rom on your tp and then go from there looking at other roms i used rz yesterday and went back to calkulins have used energy rom they are very heavy and hard to use so first thing you might wanna try some lighter roms and if it is stuck put your phone in bootloader mode and use a rom with as less as applications can be if you can't find just make a simple one sing ppck buildos rz is nice clean rom but bit different setup don't know if that is good or bad in files so have not really tried much as it had problem setting up the msn email on that one i went back calkulins which works really nice not much you have to do yourself it is good to go rom

Re: TP eating battery life
 

ok the energy rom issue quit on the dec. 17 builds which was a VZW issue only so you can try those,also his newest i haven't tested as im waiting on fedex to drop off a refurb lol,but the 21xxx builds from 11-25 to 12-16 wouldn't work but all is good now,so flash a new rom and test it and we can take it from there,also do you use any apps like lumos or anything?

Re: TP eating battery life
 

No I don't use Lumos, althought I was getting ready to download it. Unfortunately, on this aspect of technology I am a noob. And I use no other Apps other than what the ROM's come with

Re: TP eating battery life
 

also it depends how much time you keep your phone charging don't keep it on charge all the time that ruins batteries too

Re: TP eating battery life
 

i use these two apps when using energy rom and others as well

Re: TP eating battery life
 

I know when I have all my data apps updating automaticly this runs my battery down quickly (stocks, weather, activesync, live mail, twitter etc.) I just set everything to manual updates. Also Lumos is great for keeping the backlight from draining as well. I also set the data to disconnect after one minute too, this helps a little as well. I am using Energy's Dusk Manila 2.5 28011 build, so far this build has been good with battery life. If your not into the manila 2.5 roms I recommend Psyki's Rom this was great on battery life for me.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

yeah alot of time when you press x it does not close so yu might be hving too many apps open which might be draining your battery life so you might wanna change to close the program when you clikc x if you choose the other you might wanna use the task manager to close those out if you can't find them where to close so be sure that you are doing that anotherwise battery will always be drained by those programs

Re: TP eating battery life
 

How do you change the data connection to end after 1 minute ?

Re: TP eating battery life
 

ski-rom or empirom
end of thread

Re: TP eating battery life
 

Diamond Tweak... just google for it or search the threads... but it is also included in most roms found here, including the two i mentioned earlier.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

im betting your data is still running, wifi is still on, or you have BT turned on. when your done doing the internet thing go into your comms and turn the data off. the only thing that should be on in there is the phone itself. dont let things auto update because they leave the data on. even with moderate use and being in a low/no service area i still have 1/2 battery left at the end of the day.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

those things just stink under normal/any use. apply all battery tweaks and hacks.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

I have to charge mine fully at least twice a day, but then I'm a power user, and I hate the bigger batteries causing the back to stick out.

Re: TP eating battery life
 

i recommend trying out nsfan's rom. that is by far the best when it comes to battery performance. Also make sure you dont have unnecessary things turned on like bluetooth / wifi when not in use and also Beam.

i am a heavy user and very frequently utilize mine for weather / temp updates, emails, im etc. i am getting a good 12 hour charge on mine

Re: TP eating battery life
 

also...depends what area you are in. if you are in a poor signal area where signal goes in and out repeatedly, it will drain it faster too
