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:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_diamond_gets_a_beefier_battery_users_cheer-news-544.php
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.
Guys,
Can someone explain to me how the TD2 claims 50% more batter life then the TD???? The TD is 900 mah and the TD2 is 1100 mah... how is this 50% more or am I missing something?
I was thinking that maybe the TD2 uses a diff kind of battery but its the same Lith ion is it not?
Then I was thinking that maybe its the hardware but the TD2 has better specs then the TD so shouldnt it use more juice?
Then the TD2 screen size is bigger so shouldnt that also use more battery power?
So it excapes me how the TD2 has 50% more battery life??? I ask because I am considering to get the TD2 so I'm doing my due dilligance. My other choices are the HTC Touch HD and the Nokia N97.
thanks guys
HTC is a piece of sheet. Buy a Nokia
i cant tell why they say 50% better, but it is much better in battery life :-D
hummm..... thanks for the replies
although the battery capacity only went up slightly, htc said they decreased the battery usage, so a fully charged battery should last 50% longer. at least thats wut I've read..
They have made the device more power efficient, as I have said many times before on these forums, I DEFINITELY get at least 50% more life than I did on my TD1.
new battery for diamond 2
I use since one week this battery (1350mA)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG
and it works fine, round about 30% more power! same size as original one and not expensive.

Well, I was asking myself the same question.
After looking at the size of booth ...well, if TD2 is 1100mah ... then TD1 is 600Mah ..
I think that the 900mah of the battery of the td1 was not true.
Look at this pic, the TD2 battery is almost the double of the size of the TD1...
(remember that the TD2 is bigger than the TD1)

tho the size is bigger its still not double i think.... hence it must be something to do with the ROM of the TD2 that is more energy efficient is all i can come up with... I doubt its the touch flow 3D as more was added to it and from that perspective, I would assume it uses more battery.. oh well....
Does anyone actually use the TD2 now who also had the TD as I think those people would know best.
thats true..
Rom does matter.
2 things that affect the battery life a lot
ROM version and Radio Version.
but according to my experience using newest HTC mobiles, i fells no worry.
upgrading to new official ROM and got so much improvements
you'll find newest official ROM release for TD2 at htc.com
Hello all as everyone know the stock HD2 battery has a horrible life. As I have been looking for a replacement and seen alot of threads here trying to find a nice battery so I came to ask few things I want to be clear about so post away if you can help.
1) I want normal size battery that is not extended battery as it fits in the original cover for TMoUS HD2.
2) I want the highest possible mAh that fits in the original case, which is what 1500-1600 mAh? if anyone know any other let me know.
3) I seen alot name these 3 companies Andidas, Galilios, Mugen. So name them which is better.
Keep in mind that to me money is not an option as I am welling to spend whatever long as it meets my requirement as I want quality and durability also don't want it to blow up as safety is also a concern, thanks looking for good product review and advice.
Anyone? any take on this? thanks.
i m interest with this too
Well I took HD2 of charge at 8AM when I was getting ready for work and now its 3:46PM and I am at 63% battery power. So I need a real solution as I use my phone for work, hope someone who tested other battery can respond as I need it urgent.

Have you been using the phone? If so, this is not bad! You only lost 37% battery for almost a whole day of work!
And you will not find a battery that fits like the original one, and has more capacity.
Just buy a second one, charge it, and take it along...
Thanks for your reply man but are you sure? As I seen in this very forum battery that is 1300 mAh and I'm not talking about bulky extended battery packs. Also carrying around two battery and changing it is not an option. Also that's like only 6-7hours and already that low ATM I have to keep my charger with me at work fearing that ill lose battery power as it happend once. I can Google some results but ill take feedbacks from user here any day as they tested it and used it thus they can compare it and it would have a fare product review.

dude if you can get your phone to mid after noon with more than 60% charge, you really shouldn't be complaining lol....
Its 8:30PM EST here and i am at 34% as device has uptime of 47hours and connected to 3g tmobile network for 36hours. I need 1500-1700 mAh but i seen 1300 on this forum as they say its same size.
The best battery you can get is a momax 1100 mah yes the mah is less than stock. But the reports are very good and it should go longer then the stock. It will give you about 20% extra. There are no good 1500 mah or more batteries. For example HyperNode would get with that momax battery instead of 34% 49 or 52 something like that.

The higher the mAh number, the longer a battery will last.
If your phone needs 1000 milliamps(1.0Ah) to work, a 1000mAh battery will last 1 hour continued use, if the phone needs 500mAh it will last for 2 hours and so on.
So going from standard 1230mAh to 1500mAh will not give that much more battery life.
Easier to carry a charged spare standard size battery if going to be away from charger for a long time.
I've also taken a different 'strategy' Charge all time (in car with Navi and BT anyhow) and use cheap secondary batteries (as with this charging strategy they wont last too long)
Apart form the Ah of a battery, it makes a huge difference in how the battery is engineered. It is indeed possible that a lower Ah battery provides more rela life power....

Jan thanks for that useful reply as ill look in to the product. But is there any battery that you know from same company with higher mAh? From what you said this is better than stock one and lower mAh yet better performance due to higher quality.
So ATM two candidates for possible same stock size battery.
1) Momax 1100 mAh
2) Mugen 1300 mAh
I hope people who used any or both can compare it with stock battery and post the finding here so others like me can make easy decision and order it.

Anyone know where I can buy a legit high capacity battery?
ace has a bad battery, so its an option.. I don't know its a guess if it works though..

Hi, For those who got nexus 6 somehow or who can just guess:
How much is battery going to be ?
Also when they say 8 hours of usage from 15mins charge, 8 hours of video? Or browsing? Or calling ? Or.... 8 hours of what usage ? How long does it take for it to fully charge? And how many percent does the battery get charged after 15mins?
This is just the most awesome thing its like its built for me , only problem is battery life ! (my nexus 4 batterylife is not good, but not unbelievable !) i always carry my nexus 4 charger with myself !(in my pocket)

Embargo+Not final software which is why they pulled the link.
Also, the title is very misleading, the difference in life is an hour apart between devices.

They've only said how many hours in how many minutes of charge. But if I had to guess, it's probably 25% in 15 minutes. And the 8 hours is most likely standby time.

One hour isn't bad, especially if the software is still being tweaked. Were you able to see the link at some point, or how do you know there is an hour difference between the devices?
Just found the link, even better, only about 50 minutes separate the two.

Yes, that's why i'm putting custom kernel on mine, and lower the current. Both batteries are amazing, and last long enough, only 50 mins difference, but Nexus 6 display is also bigger, so there is that.

As long as the battery lasts until the next nexus comes out. I'm OK. Surely this has been tested enough to get a year out of the battery. Time will tell. But it does tapper off after it has so much charge. I'm putting a little faith in battery technology. And maybe I could use custom kernel and then flash stock when I NEED a quick charge

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

I sure hope it doesn't hurt the battery. I'm not an expert in that department. This is the bad part about a newer technology. Maybe that's why apple is always 3 years behind. Lol

The charging current itself shouldn't really impact the wear on the battery. The only increased wear would be due to the increased heat generated by faster charging.
That said, I think it's a good trade-off. My Nexus 5 charges to full in about 1h20m, and I'm able to deal with the lackluster battery life as a result.

You are wrong. They both affect battery life. There are current limits, and recommendations because of this.
Who here actually works for a battery company? We have no idea what they have done to maybe make this efficient.

Sure we do, they use 2A charge rate, instead of ~1.5/1.2
