Battery life?! - please confirm the influence of radio version (post 38)

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.

How much power does TF3D really consume?

I'm interested to find out if switching off TF3D will mean better battery life, or is it negligible. anyone can provide an answer? lol

I think the battery saving with TF3D off would be minimal not worth using, what max you could get, 5 minutes extra out of the batt.
Good luck fellas.

5 mins? are u sure? i remember for my old tytn2 disabling Touch Flo gave me about an extra 1-2 hours

I am using a rom that does not have TF3D and the battery life still sucks

Nah, I thought the same and I switched it off for some days, it give you not really much battery life back.
But there is HOPE!!!
HTC anounced that they will sell a better battery soon for like 55 Euro ;D
I think it will be a 1100 - 1300 mA Battery

Alternate Battery for HTC Diamond

I would like to start a discussion on few supplies of alternate battery.
which might or might NOT work.
saw this E309412 1300mAh Battery for HTC Touch 3G Mobile Phone
1300mAh 3.7V.
weight: 24 g
szie: 5*3.8*0.7 cm
would this fit into the Diamond ?
there is also a E225967 1350mAh Battery for HTC Touch HD Mobile Phone
1350mAh 3.7V.
weight: 24 g
szie: 5.7*4.7*0.6 cm
which is bigger.
Question : will the E309412 work ?

Look @ this!!! (my Russian is very bad though)

Battery life of diamonda vs. touch pro

I have a diamond, and I can make it threw an entire day on one battery charge. its kind of annoying. my phone cycles to check email every 15 min. maybe that is the problem?
but i was thinking of get the touch pro instead with sprint letting you change within the first 30 days.
does the pro have better battery life?

Depending on the Diamond version but if you are like me then your Diamond is the 900 mAh vs. 1350 mAh touch pro.
That's why I have 2 batteries....

I have used both devices and the Touch Pro's battery of course last longer with its 1340 mAh.
But only get the Touch Pro if you need the keyboard, because it is one hell of a heavy device and far more bulkier than I thought.
I was fortunate enough to borrow my friend's Touch Pro, for the same reason as you; to see what the battery life is like compared to the Diamond.
In the end I got a 1800 mAh battery for my Diamond and the weight and size of the device is still very reasonable.

HTC Diamond2 battery life 50% more then the Diamond??

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
