What is your experience with battery life? How often have you recharge it?
Twice a day. But thats because Im using high speed data (3G, HSDPA, WiFi), browsing the web a lot and testing/developing software.
Thanks. And what is "stand by" time? If I leave the mobile switched on without using.
hey
i think it can last for more than 3 days on standby. i recharge it once a day (normal use). if i do heavy data/multimedia use its twice a day.. not so nice as i think
I am disappointed to find that using gps in car with Tilt plugged into car charger, the battery drains faster than it recharges - requiring a charge with phone off to get full battery. Anyone else?
s730 with GPS?! Do you have the preproduction model?

I guess he means HTC Kaiser / Tytn II aka AT&T Tilt.
mine is also not really great, if i compare it to my old vpa compact II, which has a bigger touchscreen and only 200mah bigger battery, its really shameful, cause my old vpa holds easily 3-4 days, but it has only 200mhz i will look for a stronger battery for my s730...
please report in if you find a stronger battery
search ebay for: Battery HTC S730 bought 2(fake i guess)including recharger

Got a 1800mAh coming in a day or two. Should be better than the oem. I was charging once a day with it, but taking it easy so I didn't run out.
does the battery from the s710/vox fits inside s730/wings?

1800 mAh cant have the same size as the 1050's from HTC. It may be bigger but this meand you need special cover. S710 and S730 uses same batteries but the cover is different (I tried that).
1) And the cover is included - or it is the bottom of battery?
2) Can you make the photo?
3) How it increase the battery life?
Yeh moneytoo - you mean the differences between the original battery putted to s710 and s730. well it be interesting if somebody will share the experience with this (maybe thicker) stronger battery and put here the back loop.
Thanks, R.
P.S. On the other side - the capacity of AAA cells is still growing - but the size is the same.
ive found this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/2250mAh-Extented...ageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m122
but the question is: it is the right cover for s730? if not, where can i get it...
The battery life is just useless on this phone and I'm ready to give up on it.
I charge it fully overnight and with normal use (less than 1 hour of calls, some texting, web browsing on 3G) it is completely dead by 6-7pm! This is without using WiFi, Bluetooth, media player, skype or anything else you might think would be more battery intensive.
I'm often out at work all day and don't get home until late in the evening. I need a phone that will last at least 12-15 hours with normal use, and the S730 does not seem up to the task.
Is this just par for the course with WM6 phones or what?
i just got mine and talking all day it has lasted two so far with 30% left on the original (out of the box) charge.
Is the battery supposed to be this bad? it lasts day max!
this is bad bad!!
i have removed td flo from home and installed NOGPRS which diables wap, gprs etc etc, disabled phone pad with adv config, changed backlight settings and most thigns that can cause the phone to drain more battery
but for the phone the phone to need recharging everyday is not on at all! what about if you stay at someones house or have a heavy day on te the phone or whatever
my compact 2 lasted a whole week!!!!!! my compact 3/artemis lasted 2 days and now and newer model lasts a day?>??!!! my god this is ridiculous.
my k850i has the same sized batery and lasts a week FULL use!!! what are htc doing?????
all this technology and they honstly cant make a darn battery last??
has anyone found out a way to make it last atleast 2 days with moderate usage? say an hour of phone calls, 10 texts, 10 mins using calendar,and downloading a few emails??

Yes .... turn the phone off at night
I agree that the battery time is worthless. But comparing to the other phones you mentioned there, HTC Touch Diamond has much better hardware spec. Maybe the batteries had a few more mAh in those Compaq phones?
Regarding the k850i it has a 930mAh battery (Diamond has 900mAh), and you can't really compare a smartphone with a 'standard' phone as the k850i.
I have seen batteries for the Diamond at 1340mAh to 2200mAh. Maybe you can take a look at one of those? Of course, your Diamond will be a few mm thicker. But maybe you can live with that?
are you serious? come on man! that cant be the answer?
il give this some time, maybe a new rom will help with this butu if not, as much as i love this baby, im going back to the artemis and the diamonds going on ebay!

Starflake, thats a really good idea il check those batteries out now.
your right i dont really want the phone to be thicker, but what the hell, 1 day is just a joke, im sorry, htc should seriously pull their fingers out! a phone that opnly lasts a day, isnt that smart!!!! even the iphone lasts longer!!!!!

I couldn't agree more. At least they could have delivered the Diamond with the same battery as the Touch Pro will have (1340mAh).
I have problems getting the battery to last even 24 hours. And I don't even use the phone as much as I did the first week.
I'm used to charge the batteries every night since i had my SE P1i. So I wasn't really very much surprised over the Diamonds battery performance.
It helps much to not have wlan, bt and 3g on all the time.
Here is your answer:

More we cannot do for you, sry, at least for the moment
having updated to radio 1.00.25.5 and disconnected the diamond from its charger yesterday at 8.30am i am currently at 39% battery left. that's with disconnecting gprs after each use and flight mode during the night. i check my mails manually once in an hour, use opera mini for webbrowsing, did some calls, wrote 15 short messages...i am pretty satisfied. but the first days after i got the diamond were really disappoining i have to admit.
I have found that the tweaks I applied seriously affected battery life. After a hard reset, the battery lasts significantly longer. After applying the TF3D tweaks again then battery suffers again. If you did apply the tweaks initially, try setting them back to default.
Ok, so the Diamond has a poor battery life, but how poor? How many hours do you get out of yours without any ROM changes? How many hours do you get after tweaking and with ROM updates?
What about the newer extended life batteries? How much more life would they give? 20%? 50%? 100?
Thanks,
Jon
My battery lasts for about 4-5 days with normal phone and PPC usage.
(ROM 1.93 and no internet connection/3G/GPRS or GPS turned on).
Charge twice a day
I charge mine twice a day. I am a heavy user and have exchange server / push mail on all the time.
For this reason i have two batteries and change them every moning and afternoon.

If you rationalise it: Lets say with the 900maH you get 2 days, then what is your last question about. If you get the 1800maH battery then, then the life is dubbeld. Looks like a no brainer to me. Or do you expect us to guess at what your going to use, how long, what power it uses and then make a guess at the time?
Mine was tweaked and lasted more then a week, while on standby.
btw: Why not all your questions in 1 topic?

"doubled" looks like a no brainer to me, too... Apparently different people think in different ways.

Twice a day!!! Is that all! lol
I have mine on the charger at night; then if i'm on the computer the diamond is plugged in via the usb port; my half hour commute means she's plugged in the cars cigarette lighter, and it's plugged in a charger a lot at work. I'm a GPS, 3G surfing, mp3 playing bandit though.
If i aint doing any of the above, and use it just as a phone the battery will last a while. (at least 2 days) But if i just didnt want a phone...
With normal battery you can only watch two movies on Coreplayer and you're out. With GPS on you get 2-3 hours max. It's almost scandalous.
If you only use it as a phone, you get decent battery life, but I've bought it to also use it as a PDA. The battery is simply insufficient.
I've had to buy an emergency charger which lets you charge the battery on the road using any normal AA battery.
Hey guys, just wanna ask if anyone bought and tried the extended battery for diamond that comes with a back cover. Does it really work as in do the battery life really last longer? Cos i dont wanna spend $128 on something i dunno man. haha so yeah...
thanks
You might want to ask the question in the Hardware Section, there are already threads with pictures and experiences. I have two extended batteries, the ugly one from DX and one with a nicer back from eBay. The second one has some issues with the GPS, but there is an aluminium foil tweak for that, too. The battery life is a blast, though.
I have genuine HTC extended battery and it lasts 1.5-2x longer than default battery. Also the new battery cover is matte with rubberish surface, so it holds better in hand.
Hi,
Yes, I got it from some obscure website I don't remember, and it works well. My phone lasts the entire day now, even with some internet usage and such. But I definitely didn't pay that much. I believe I paid around $60 for it. It was made by HTC and came with a new back cover too.
See if you can find it and if not, let me know and I can try to find it again.

Hy. I have the extended battery and work verry fine nou. On my stile of usage , this battery is better by 40-50% . The 900 mAh battery power up my device for 2 days. With the new battery i can use my Diamond foar 3 days , 2 days with some calls , some sms , 1-2 hours wi-fi and 2-3 hours to watch movies . So...it work's verry fine.
PS: sorry for my english.
i have tried a lot of the great windows mobile 6 ROM'S posted here and i wanted to know if anyone else or if they had a workaround for a strange happening that seems to effect a lot of the windows mobile 6 ROM'S.
what happens is when the battery charge gets near to being 50 to 60% dead the himalaya handset will switch off as if it is out of charge?
has anyone else had this happen?
As WM6.X has got a bigger power consumption it sounds as if you've got a bad main battery. Try over/underclocking the cpu. Search for XCPUScalar - Works great an gives you a little better power management while underclocking on week cpu-load.

Yes, your battery is dead. I have 4 batteries for himalaya and only muckelmaus's one works good, others is used to flash only (I used to flash on 0% battery and without lol)
