Sprint Touch Pro - Battery life = 6 hours?
 

I know the TP has marginal battery life, but lately I have only been getting 6 hours of light use with my Sprint Touch Pro. I am still on the stock Sprint ROM, running the Telus radio, and have used Diamond Tweak to maximize battery life, including turning the data connection off after 1 minute. I have email set to check every 30 minutes (1 account) and weather does not update automatically.

With this setup, I go from 100% to less than 20% charge in 6 hours with just a couple of phone calls, a couple of texts, and an occasional check of email. This seems worse than normal for battery life. Also, this happens with both my stock HTC battery and a new Mugen 1500mAh battery. Any suggestions?

There is a cab for battery tweaks somewhere... look for it, it helped me by about 20% or, try Juicy or Mighty ROM. I am running Juicy7 and can go a day and a half with moderate use, 2 days with light use.

I got roughly4-5 hours of dedicated web browsing with 8 hours of standby, so 6 hours (counting that 8 hours into 1 hour of relative usage time)

you can do alot more to try and save battery. turn your beam off,gps off when not using it.. theres a cab for the gps off. check one of the battery threads for more tricks.

Mighty 4.16 definitely helped my battery life some, but these things really are mini laptops & battery life is basically gonna suck no matter what tweaks you make.

I imagine before this thread is too old, some clown will post that their battery lasts for 4 days (it happens every single time there is a thread like this) with some "super ROM" they are running, ignore those posts -they are total BS..............

My battery lasts for weeks.....if it's charged and not in the phone. The tweaks and rom's only go so far. One suggestion I can make? Go to the nearest Sprint repair center, complain about battery life (respectfully) and they'll probably give you a extra battery. For me, 2 fully charged batteries last a whole day...almost.

hahaha, right you are. I don't get the point of making up outrageous numbers.

But to the OP, that seems pretty normal to me. These phones are terrible when it comes to battery life. I'm planning on replacing mine the second an upgrade comes out in hopes that battery life is improved.

Woot. Love your hack. You have a similar hack for your bluetooth headset too?
