Hello all
I've searched but I brought some marsmellows if you should decide to flame me anyways... (I hope not! )
When I got my Tytn 2 in december I installed the GPRS monitor that came along on a cd. With this program you can also set the backlight and look at the battery status and - I belive it is - see the talktime.
I have always had the backlight bar set in the middle and started with having talktime around 4 hours and maybe 25 minuts when the battery was 100 %.
As time went by the talktime was only about 3 hours and some minuts at 100 % battery and I have not changed the backlight at all because I find it very nice when it's set in the middle.
So yesterday I was bored and pressed the backlight bar in the GPRS monitor and I went all the way from the lightest to the darkest mode maybe two or three times in a row.
After doing this I set it in the middle as this is where I normally have it but now to my surprise I was having the 4 hours and about 25 minuts with only about 90 % of battery...
Will this also work for you?
I've just remembered that I presses the backlight button in the HTC Home plugin - you know where you can go to commanager and programs... ;-)
What? U r getting 4hrs 25 minutes only by 10% battery consumption? Amazing.
R u sure?
well that is what it said... Right now it says 65 % battery and 2:06 hours of what I call talk time - isnt that what it is...?
I wonder how,I've been using this apps too. Never notice it happen, will try. Normally 50% out after 2 hrs. No harm trying after all nothing to lose......right?
I now understand that there are people who own the Diamond at the moment.
I hear a lot about the battery not being strong enough to last the day.
But then again, some say it does.
I would like for people to test this.
So post here the time you disconnected it from the charger (charged 100%)
What did you do with your phone during the day
- how many calls
- how long were the calls
- sms
- gps
- 3g
ect ect ect.
and what the battery status is when you check it again in the evening.
I think this is the best way to see how long it will last.
And if various users do this (one calls more, one internets more ect)
Then people can compare this with there own phone usage.
Thank you for your inputh
a dutch htc touch, i am still waiting for it. where did you get yours?
i am looking for performance with:
3g off (only connect when using the internet),
no pushmail (a lot of people that complain are using push mail)
no gps
no wireless
no bluetooth
does this mean i actually plan to use this as a phone???????
yes, with the extra of sometimes using internet and gps.
I my self dont have a diamond yet.
I first want to know how bad this battery realy is befor i do buy it.
Will it last 1 whole day, then its ok.
but if it doesnt last 1 whole days (and be able to use it! )
Then i will definitly wait for the Pro
HTC TOUCH DIAMOND BATTERY LIFE for an SMS junkie
UPDATE ON BATTERY REVIEW : I did this test, based on what a student (like me) would probably use. More sms than calls. Here's a rough estimate.
TOTAL HOURS BEFORE KONKING OUT TOTALLY = approximately 9 hours, give or take
TOTAL SMS-ES = 120
TOTAL TALK TIME = approximately 15-20 mins
TOTAL LIGHT GAMING TIME (Hexic) = 45 mins.
Its actually pretty impressive.
My verdict is that with backlight on "auto adjust" and with the dimlight dimming within seconds after not being used, there is a HUGE amount of power saving from running the VGA screen. Also, it could be possible that with its graphic accelerators, gaming also consumed less power than usual.

As another student, that sort of performance will do me!
So the battery only lasted for 9 hours on one full charge?
ok.. i charged my diamond yesterday night at 1030pm.
under locked modes and suspend...
no calls no msg no nothing.. i just left it sleeping there
now 330pm it's still alive at half cell.
Yesterday I used my Diamond for about 15 mins of calls, push email all day, connected to 3g half of the day, browsed the web for 20 minutes on HSDPA, browsed the web for 30 minutes on WiFi, played Teeter for 10 minutes (fantastic game).
By 7pm my battery was still at 50%. I'm happy with that. As a previous mentioned, the auto backlight feature seems to work very well.

different people will get different amount of time, for each person's usage is different.
SMS takes up a lot of power, because for the amount of sms i made, lets say 1 minute to type one sms, thats already more than an hour's worth of HTC Diamond's light being switched on. So it consumes battery
please do understand that your battery will be better after some cycles!!!
I'm busy throttling mine...
Streaming music via WiFi from my laptop, and I'm listening to it via Stereo Bluetooth Headphones.
Surfing the internet or installing and testing a few third party programs at the same time. I've made a couple of 10 minute phone calls, sent 17 e-mails (using push e-mail), and only two text messages.
I'm in a 2G-only area (my living room) with my phone set to "Auto" to supposedly keep searching for 3G. So far it's managed four hours, but I get a feeling it will be turning itself off in about half an hour.
Certainly seems to be getting pretty warm. Hopefully it won't blow up on me when I try and charge it...

thanks in Advance
i charged my diamond last night before i went to sleep. i even turned of the phone (flight mode). when i woke up (after 8 hours) the battery was down to aprox. 50 % and my diamond was switched on (screen was illuminated). so i think it must have been on for quite a while during the night which causes the battery to drain.
Thats annoying. It reminds me of my firts days with my tytan. The screen tunred on rendomly as well and drained the battery realy fast.
As stated above the battery seems to get better each time I charge it.
My first charge was hopeless only lasted half a day but each time I charge it, it gets better, its still not amazing battery life but for the size of it and what it does its not too bad.
Can someone post how many hours of music play you can get out of the Diamond?
Yesterday I unplugged my Diamond at 9am.
- it was constantly on Direct Push mail on a 3G/HSDPA network
- I've made around 40 minutes of calls
- I've used Google Maps with GPS active for 15 minutes
- I've transferred 2 albums (around 30 mp3) and listened to music for 20 minutes with speaker on (not headphones).
- I've shown my phone to friends (teeter, touchflo3D, ...) for half an hour
- I had my phone connected to my bluetooth car handsfree for half an hour
- I have surfed the net for about an hour
- Fortunately I didn't have to work yesterday, when I add up the time I've used my Diamond
When I went to bed at 11pm, so 14 hours later, there was 30% of the battery left. I think it's quite good!

That is quite good. I currently get that sort of performance out of my Touch (only roughly speaking, as it doesn't have all of those features). I think that, perhaps, the screen is the big battery drain and that people don't realise how much power they're using while typing texts, hence the differing opinions on the battery. Also, people haven't taken into account the light conditions that they've use the device in - the light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight, as far as I'm aware.
time to charge the battery
slightly off topic:
how long does ist take for you to fully charge your battery?
i am just asking because mine takes about 5 hours to fully charge (phone turned on) and about 3.5 hours (phone turned completely off), with the supplied wallcharger. and this seems to be pretty long for an 900mAh battery.
thanks,

1. I have this phone since 2015 or smth like that and for 2 years it works perfectly. And 3 months ago it shut down randomly at 30 40 50 even 60 and when i try to open it for like 20-30 minutes it shows 1% battery and shut down again... after these 20-30 mins from 60% it goes to 20-30 sometimes even lower...
2. When it doesn.t close and i use wifi + youtube in 1h max from 100% to 0%...
3.if i play a game with wifi opened, in the battery appear an exclamation point and the battery goes 2x faster and hot as hell
I have latest android version
