I have it downloading from three IMAP accounts (15, 30, and 60 minutes each) and Exchange push. I run SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Pocket Plus in the background, and that's about it for what's always running. My wife, meanwhile, gets amazing battery life. Maybe I should try changing to manual-only for my e-mail and see how big a difference it makes. Then again, I get my extended battery back today, and that always did much better for me.

Actually, what is probably killing it is the "sip off my computer's power throughout the day" bit. With a complex power-drain device like the Titan, battery usage can vary widely and have all sorts of unpredictable effects on the Li-On that you may not find on simpler constant-drain devices. Also, as someone else mentioned in this thread already, "battery performace is reduced as heat goes up, also the "meter" calculates bases on a drain history."
Constantly charging the battery is actually bad, since it creates extra heat and messes up the meter and charging guages, not just the "history-based" one you see on the screen, but even the internal one that tells the battery when to stop charging. The end result is that the charger may not be stopping at the proper point- either overcharging or undercharging, both of which are bad.

The one thing that I noticed makes the biggest difference as far as battery life (and my theory was later confirmed by an electrical engineer), is to actually leave it OFF the charger until I'm ready to leave it for a complete charge. That means don't plug it in the car to top off on your way to work, and don't take it on/off the charger periodically. I leave it until I'm ready to charge it up fully, and like this my battery easily lasts a day and a half.
I only charge my phone when I sleep now, and if I forget to, its still got enough juice for most of the day when I wake up. This is with push mail via exchange, and EVDO coverage.

Well Sprint did sell off "nearly all" of their towers to TowerCo and now lease them.

Doesn't give me a warm feeling inside. Now they're looking to sell off the iDEN network.

Why did you post this here? This is for NueRom 2.2 general discussion about the ROM itself....

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that they are looking to sell their iDEN... the Nextel deal was dumb on their part. It could have been beneficial, but Sprint has failed to offer enough variety of devices that are able to take advantage of both Sprint and Nextel features.

Same here. Been a long time since any major update. Hopefully something good is in the works. No pressure, I'm sure no2chem is busy just like the rest of us. Can't wait!

**puff** · #**409** (**permalink**) 08-13-2008, 06:00 PM

the problem (i think) is that it looks like no2 has devoted a lot of his energy in getting the new site up and running, just taking a look at the new site, looks like he had to write a few extensions for the site and several of the NueTools are now avail in both OEM and cab formats (w/ a few updates on some) - amist all this im sure no2 is still working on the next release, but i highly doubt he will give an ETA given past experience...
