Hi All
My Diam100 has the worst battery life of any HTC I have seen and is far worse than my Diam140 - which makes no sense unless it is the HSDPA part of the radio stack.
Also, My diam100 drinks the whole battery on satnav GPS inside around 3 hours. (I am using CoPilot Live 7.0)
I am running the european release ROM:
RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe
with the 1.00.25.05 radio stack
any thoughts here? I wonder if it is worth turning off HSDPA?
Yours
Leon
search before you post
your not the 1st or will be last to start a thread like this
try a cooked rom...with the tweaks mine is now lasting 4 days
thanks, buddy
Will-do. I would dearly love to understand why the GPS is so power hungry and why HSDPA empties the battery so quickly.
I'll certainly try a cooked ROM or two now I have it unlocked and HARD SPL'd
Thanks for the advice
Yours
Leon

I have the same ROM and Radio ROM but mine hardly lasts 1 day ... probably too much WiFi searching?
Using 3g od HSDPA really drains the devices battery. I only use G (unless I'm doing some serious surffing - so My batter lasts nearly 3 days - mainly 2 though...
Cooked roms like Dutty's v.1.4 has tweaks to increase battery performance. And if you are not using the HSDPA or 3G services just disable it so you can save battery. Well I am happy with the battey life because it is better thn some Nokia's battery's/
Agree with all above:
Battery does suck.
Disable 3G, BT, WIFI, Beam when not using makes my batt last 2 days without making too many calls. Which imo is not that bad.
Last friday i used all of its features (heavy usage), 3G, GPS, WIFI and etc made alot of calls and the batt died about 10hrs later.
you sound surprised??!!
the diamond is one of the most powerful phones on the market at the moment being put up directly against the iphone 3g which has terrible battery life as well.
weigh it up, you have a 900mah battery over 520mhz processor vga screen oh yeh its less that half the size of an iphone.
i think it does ok

well said.
too right you are - I'll take one of these over an iPhone any day
since we are hot on the topic...
anyone tried the extended battery yet?
1350mah or the 1800mah from china?
i've heard that the .03 radio rom should spare the battery life a bit more than the .05., at least within europe.
Hi Guys,
What's a good replacement battery for the Atom Life and where can I get it online? Stock battery is 1530mah, can we use 1600mah in our device? Please help, my old battery dies too fast nowadays.
Thanks,
Bree
Hi,
yes I was wondering about that too. I got my Atom Life with so called xp-09 battery which drains in hmm 1.5 day.
In some other post I've read about how certain ROMs can drain battery much faster than others. Do you think that's true?
Anyways ... I'm looking for better battery alternative - if possible the one that fits under original cover.
3200 mha

Hye guys,
Just want to check with u something, is it normal that my clock got reset after I removed my battery to change the sim card in my Atom Life?
Thanks
ImRaNz
Yes I believe Atom Life does not have internal battery.

anyone know de answer? thanks
WinMo 6.1 was almost unusable. I switched to a Tael ROM to run 6.5, which was immensely better, especially using Spb Shell 3.5.
How does Android 2.1 compare? I know its a work in progress. I know its better than WinMo 6.1.. but how does it compare to WinMo 6.5 on the Fuze?
Also, I see mostly Android CDMA work being done for Raphael--anyone actively working on the Fuze (GSM) version?
thanks,
RickH
Actually, most of the work is being done by devs with GSM devices. You probably see more CDMA posts because we have more issues Or we're just special ed, either way.
I love Android, but currently it's not a replacement for WinMo - for me. The main reason being the battery life. While the devs have done great work, the battery is just not up to par - I need to run a full day on idle at least before I can switch over to it.
Is there any reason you haven't given it a shot yourself? You don't flash it to NAND, the entire OS just sits on your SD card - literally nil chance of breaking something hardware-wise with the device!
guess it's worth trying
I just need to find the steps and the latest usable build..
Battery life is that great on WinMo 6.5 either.
Often I find apps that I thought I closed are still active. Now I always check whats running before I put it on standby.(hmm wonder if there is an app to autoclose everything and standby the phone..)
BTW, I found when using the GPS in remote areas putting the phone in Flight Mode works wonders for battery life. GPS stays on, but Bluetooth, phone service, WiFi, are all off.
If you're in an area with poor or no service, turning off the radio will certainly increase performance - one of the main killers of the battery is the phone's radio. If it's constantly searching for a signal or using a lot of power to keep one... you get the point.
Battery life in Android is not on-par with WinMo. At least not for CDMA devices, some on GSM report 10-12hrs of battery life.
Were you having an issue finding builds? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601751 - that thread, first three posts or so have all the stuff you'll need.
Ive found that on my fuze, winmo 6.5 is horrid, but its got the only reliable battery life i need. I text like 24/7, so on android my battery is gone in an hour or two, while on winmo itll last atleast 8 hours, as long as i got my wifi off and got my screen's brightness turned down.
From one fuze owner to another. I have been running android 100% since GPS was enabled and don't plan on going back!

100%, seriously? how can you keep the battery life all day long? do you have 2 or more batteries as subs?
I have made it on my touch pro at&t！
i got about 3 hours on android, 20 txt messages, about 5minutes on the internet via 3g wifi and gps off, back to the blackberry for now
I like the stability of Windows Mobile, however, I hate not having ANY applications worth downloading.
I have been running Android on my Fuze for the past few days and am EXTREMELY surprised at how well it operates. It is honestly faster than my G1 and more responsive too.
The biggest downfalls I would say, are the lack of camera, poor battery life, and it gets pretty hot.
I honestly wasn't expecting for it to run smooth at all, but was delightfully proved wrong.

sorry about getting back so late on the reply but I just keep my phone charged as much as possible. Unfortunatly with the new stuff(6/21) the battery is a mega killer so back to winmo untill a more battery friendly build comes out. Allthough I did catch a glimps of a new HTC android phone on AT&T shelves yesterday. Tempted to get it for the low low price of $129.99
Hi Everyone,
I have recently purchased Micromax Andriod one mobile for my mom. The battery for her lasts 14 hours as she does not use this mobile a lot. But somewhere down the line I feel that some time will come where I need to get a replacement battery soon. I wanted to ask that can I use 3000 mAh battery or higher capacity battery than the present one (1700 mAh)?

There is no 3000 mAh battery available for Micromax Canvas A1 currently. You can try using it if it comes in the market in the future.
As for the battery life, that is pretty low what you are getting. If the mobile is not being used, i.e it is in standby and you are getting just 14 hours then there is something wrong, the standby of this phone is pretty good, I use it moderately and I get around 24 hours of battery life, And when I am at home, connected to Wifi and minimal usage easily gives me over 24 hours of battery life. I have also got a whopping 51 hours of battery life once on a single charge with WiFi and minimal usage, i.e when my phone was on standby most of the time.
Can you tell me exactly how is the phone being used? What sort of apps are installed? Its on 3G/2G/WiFi? How is the signal reception? etc. Maybe I could help you more.

Thank you for your response. Actually its my mistake, instead of typing 34 hours I typed 14 hours in hurry Sorry for that. Coming to the battery issue. Somewhere down the line the battery backup is going to deteriorate, so as a caution I wanted to know that is buying a higher mAh battery (if available) would be witty or not? As I heard there are some differences in Voltage and Ampers. Eg. I saw one battery for A116 it had 3000 mAh and 3.7 volts and 7.4Wh. While for Andriod one it had 1700 mAh, 3.8 Volts and 6.46 Wh. So this difference would canse any harm or not?? That is exactly I want to know.

34 hours is pretty normal I would say.
Yes, its natural for the battery capacity to deteriorate, however, it depends on you too. You have to practice good habits of charging in order to preserve the overall life of the battery. Follow those and you should be good for a year or two. By that time we will obviously get batteries for sale in the market which you can replace. It is advisable that you don't put other phone's battery into some other phone, yes, I know both are of micromax and might have the same dimensions, but as you mentioned there are differences at electrical level, which might or might not cause your device to misbehave, why take risk and make the situation worse?
So it's better you make use of the default battery properly by practicing good charging habits and make it run as long as possible, later on if we get a 3000 mAh for our phone then you can surely go for it or even replace the default battery with a new one as I mentioned earlier.

i don't think it is safe;;//
At the first place it doesn't seem a battery to be officially produced by micromax
and watt per hour is different on 1700mAh andon 2200mAh (with a difference of 0.1 v input)
So i suggest you not to take the risk of damaging your phone except for you really want to test it..(wont be a big damage it should be reparable )

I reported about the battery to micromax before buying.... They said buy batteries only from micromax store ......but after 2 days 3000 mAh went unavailable from eBay ....I think it was not the original and micromax consulted eBay after my report......

chances are that it won't be even 2000 mah.. it is best if said capacity is actual capacity. try and share feedback. more over battery drain issue. did you performed a factory reset after updating?? i would suggest you to flash latest raw firmware. after first startup. go back to recovery and factory reset and use and see if battery still drains fast. after that buy new battery
