The ROM i'm using drains the battery relatively quickly, compared to say the standard Sony O2 software. I'm going to a festival this weekend and want to preserve the battery for as long as possible so will obv use the advice given in threads on this, but any specific ROM that is best for not using up the juice? Cheers
If i were you i'd use the standart O2 Software then if you already know yourself it has good battery - otherwise just look around in the rom section
they say good things about touch-X 6

sorry if i have selected a wrong section...
i am not a wm mobile user as such so might be question sound stupid
- while reading some reviews got to know that speed issue can be solved by upgrading rom (increasing chache) and all.. if yes, pls let me know how can we do that and where can find such roms
- also read that battery life is very low.. if yes, is there any solution to that. tomorrow i am planning to buy this phone. so pls guide me.
- Has it got inbuilt GPS (with navigation, voice navigation and all)? i mean, there is no need to buy separate hardware for the same.
thanks
All your answers are on here 0 use search!
But to help
It has built in GPS hardware, you supply the software (tom tom whatever(
Battery life is a couple of days on mine with latest UK stock ROM and moderate usage although you need to go through a few charge cycles to achieve the optimum
Latest ROMS are all fast - there are many to choose from
Hope this helps

If you buy your Diamond now, there is a good chance it will come with the latest ROM, in which case speed is not really an issue. If not, just register on HTC e-Club and download the latest ROM from there; it's very easy to upgrade: you just connect your phone to the PC and run the downloaded program on the PC. In 20 min you'll have the latest ROM. Since you are not a WM user, I would advise against using non official ROM's until you know better your system.
The battery gets much better after a few recharges. Also, read the tweak section on this forum. It's pretty easy to do and will significantly improve your battery life. Make sure you read all the posts so you understand better what's good for you.
The Diamond has a built in GPS. Whether it also has a navigation software is not certain. In certain countries it does, in other it doesn't. If you buy your software afterwards, there is a good chance you'll find detailed information about it on this forum.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone. You made a good choice
yes.. i used search but could not get a concrete answer as such.
anyway, i am in Mumbai, India.
GPS- If i have got the google maps wont it solve the navigation problem?
- If using wi-fi for 30 mins, calls-1 hr and games/music 20 mins.. will it last for a day atleast
- while reading some reviews got to know that speed issue can be solved by upgrading rom (increasing chache) and all.. if yes, pls let me know how can we do that and where can find such roms

waiting for reply... thanks
Hi guys.
Have read many mixed reviews about this but was hoping a couple of you here would be able to confrm it.
As we know the battery life on the diamond aint that great, but I have read many mixed thoughts that a rom upgrade would improve the battery life. Is this true?
If so any recommendations on nice rom from the rom section we have on here?
I am currently running the original orange uk rom.
Many thanks, look forward to you replies.
My guess is that the changes are marginal at best, so save yourself from the trouble and order this, http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=166204
Its not marginal. It got me about 1 extra day of usage before i'd have to charge. I changed from original rom to Dutty's cooked rom.
There is also other benefits to changing roms, most important benefit would be speed. The cooked roms usually run faster and more smoother than the original roms.
Thanx guys, I will take a look at duttys.
Will the official upgrade from the htc site be any good?

Nope. Hmmm cooked firmwares generally remove some things which are not used EVER. Also it will clean up the software being ran on the background. And a few tweeks will be made to WM to make it run faster. ie. page memory, etc.
I think its the radio update that makes the most difference. I seem to get better battery life since 'upgrading' to 1.00.25.05 (upgrading is in quotes since my original version was actually higher than that). But then again i also upgraded to a cooked rom (AZTOR X2) so i got a double hit... Certainly very pleased with the extra speed and battery life!
the radio update is totally true. Ive read certain posts where people are getting atleast 3x longer battery using a different Radio.
Such as on one radio it will use about 8% overnight, where as on another radio within about the same duration overnight it will only use 2-3%.
would anyone be able to give me links to these roms and radio's. also a guide would be really handy
thanks
Jon
I'm interested of the rom that make battery life 3x longer...i'm actually using .16(BS), but i don't know if this one is the best.
hey guys,
1st post here, definately not the last
i got my ignito y/day, battery life is well under a day, so 02 sending new battery.
1st hiccup ive had!
next, the 3d flo options, how slow are they?! ive reverted to default WM6.1 layout.
is there any simple way to get GPS working? im pretty computer savvy so technical jargon u say u should understand lol!
also read about rom flashing, what info would i have to give you so you could advise me which one to get and flash with, also, instructions on how to do it would be wicked
have a good day
-chaos
i get about a day of battery life with my ignito,
have you read some of the stickys on the rom developement page! i would recommend flashing UDk's ROMS only cos i am using them on my ignito!
try searching for "ignito stock ROM" within that section. i have uploaded a backup of my ignito stock UK rom if you ever need reverting back to the original!
From my own experience, battery life should improve after 10+ recharges. Also, if you want to further increase battery life, you can turn off 3G if you do not use internet on your mobile, you will get 2-3 days batterylife easily. Battery depletes in 5-8 hours if 3G reception is poor (1-2 bars).
Well First off I gotta say some of the things here are pretty damn super.
But the thing I find is most of these roms take up too much battery all too quickly, even when i barely use my phone.
So which rom should i try and stick in order to maximise my battery life?
Quick response would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the question is what you really want to have in your ROM and what is obsolete for you. Eye-candy needs power....
Switch of all automatic Facebook, email, weather, stock, twitter etc. updates, switch off 3G, dim the light and use wifi only when necessary - this will increase your battery life significantly.
And you might try the link in my signature as well.
I'm not an expert but according to my experience for cooked ROMs,
- Xara & Vision and (this ROM is similar to Jeperlea's) is very good bettery drainage but the HTC Calculator annoy me very much. Anyway, -Jeperlea has been back to continue his ROM, but I really feel boring of his ROM's inconsistence
- Russell Eclair's, his ROM is also very impressive for me, unfortunately his Final ROM has some trouble in the first usage. Over all, like it.
- SGXU XPERIA UNOFF, like this ROM too, unfortunately some program isn't working properly.
- 826X-peria, some version is great in battery drainage and performance but some isn't. This ROM is also stopped due to stolen willyung's gadget.
The worst; Energy ROM, I dunno know why people flash this **** to their phone because it's the worst ROM I've ever used. Good interface (Kinda boring), but really poor performance, u can't use this for daily used.
Sorry to the OP for slightly drifting off topic.

Well, maybe because not everybody acts according to your standards.
I won't go through all the "fantastic" ROMs you listed above just to verify whether Energy ROMs are that bad or not. It's just strange that you kind of recommend ROMs which obviously have problems running at all and contain annoying software.
><(((ยบ>
I am happy with Energy, it is way more performant than others I tried before - and it just works out of the box.
Hey guys,
I don't have an overview anymore about all these custom ROMs out there for the n7000.
I'm looking for a stable, "basic" ROM with the latest Android, espically one with a good battery life.
Hope you can help me.

Battery life all sorta depends on how often you use your device and the things you do with it. With all the roms i used i never had a rom on my device that had a noticeble extended batterylife.
However you could underclock your cpu and try to find that line where your device still performs good enough.
Anyhow turning off wifi when you dont use it really makes a difference.
Id start with cyanogenmod 10.1 if you want to run android 4.2.
Or beerbongs build of Paranoid Android, if you can forget the battery thing and just want an aosp rom with some awesome features (check threat in original android development)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah battery life largely depends on how you use your phone..
But I can tell you, I've personally found improvement upon flashing Ultimate ROM (first flash only, second time it was very bad actually) and I see many positive feedback regarding battery life on BurtROM.
