Aside from a new ROM and Radio, what else can be done to improve battery life? I thought this could be a new thread in which to summarise essential, obvious and often forgotten tweaks that help alongside ROM and Radio changes. This would be especially useful for newbies who are unsure about their new Diamond (such as myself recently).
Please contribute guys!
S.
p.s. I have decided to keep my Diamond, even though I have the choice to buy an Omnia. It's a great phone made even greater by the thoughtful and kind people on here. A community like this is a great attribute to consider when buying a new phone imho.
-disable auto gprs attach. If you don't use push.
-disable auto brightness on screen.
-enable all the power management tools in Schaps Advanced config.
-turn off beam and bluetooth.
-turn off customer feedback and error reporting.

Are there any drawbacks to enabling all the power management features; what does they mostly do? I have looked and the acronyms mean little to me i'm afraid
Also, how do you turn off customer feedback and error reporting? Mine is already off due to Swift 6.0 anyway.
What is beam?

Yes, and inherit an incredibly chunky phone, thus taking away one of the main advantages of the Diamond - its sleekness.
Oh come on, its not that bad... only 3mm extra!
I saw a pic of it and I thought it made the phone look ridiculous. It may have been a misleading pic though...

That's a 3rd party version HTC has released their own which isn't a 1800mah like the one posted above it's 1340mah and shouldn't be as chunky.
The HTC version is here http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=166204 waiting for better side by side pics.
Yes, its a misleading pic cos thats the 1800mah battery ffs! That battery adds about 5/6mm to the Diamond, so yes, it is ridiculous but it is by no means the official one, which looks ok by comparison.
Fair enough. I look forward to seeing the 1340mah version then...

Does nobody bother searching on here? Or reading the accessories section?
Clearly not!
Calm down ffs! I thought I had already seen a pic of the battery and so I didn't feel any need to search for more pics. Plus, as bizarre as it may sound, we don't all spend every day of our waking lives on here...
I will only say this once - this forum contains a lot of conflicting information mostly caused by people posting without searching or looking in the appropriate location first. And saying you 'thought' you had already seen a picture of the battery is utter bollocks as you were able to post a direct link to it, which presumably would have given you the opportunity to actually read it again and realise it wasn't the official one.
Erm, no mate. I saw a pic of what I thought was the extended battery via typing 'htc touch diamond extended battery' into google. I then recalled the pic due to this thread and so went to find it again. I didn't bother reading details about the battery as I thought there was only one kind of extended battery. I know, it's a sin eh? Definitely worth your snide remarks?
Why don't you just pipe down and stop trying to act like some sort of adjudicater, it's tiresome and is far worse than repeat threads.
I understand your reasoning, but you also need to understand that I (and many others)am still feeling my way around this site. If this bothers you, don't enagage.

All the more reason to search then
I am not by any means a self appointed adjudicator - I sympathise with the guys who do moderate this forum though.
Anyway, whatever, sorry if I was being 'snide' but was in a bad mood anyway - strangely enough it has improved considerably!
is this the offical htc extended battery? ive heard the others interfere with gps?? can someone confirm this?
Is it possible to focus on the battery tweaks again? I thougt it was a good idear!
sorry, i accidentally posted this in the wrong section.. could a mod please move it?
so today i pulled my phone out of my pocket and it had turned off.. held the power button and nothing.. the phone was mostly charged, so i know its not a dead battery. it doesnt even show the battery charging icon when its plugged and, and my pc doesnt even know its plugged in...
seems dead to me
anyone have any advise? ive tried all the button combos, nothing seems to work..
might be heading to the at&t store tomorrow..

Firstly: Please post in QA section
Secondly: Try pulling the battery then restarting.

went out of your way for that? this is the general section.. seems a fair place to ask? q&a is more for the roms i thought?
but whatever, thanks for the advise! lol.. but i tried pulling the battery..
anyone else?
edit: ok, ya got me.. i meant to post in the general section! how the hell it ended up here i dunno.. my bad, could a mod please move it?
It isn't possible for it to just 'die' out of no where. If it was working earlier and it doesn't turn on something is definetly wrong. Sorry for your phone.
you did try taking out the battery right?

ALL QUESTIONS GO IN Q&A... That's what the q is for.
General is for, general discussions about the captivate.
There is a big banner at the top of the general section that says "don't post questions here"
Thank you. Have a nice day
Thread moved
It's in Q&A now.
Sometimes my phone locks up like that, and I have to pull the battery. It restarts fine and runs fine once I do that. It doesn't happen often (thankfully). I think it's a kernel problem, it was more frequent when I used the 4.1 kernel that came with Serendipity VII. With Talon it is a rare occurrence.
This is why, when I get my Note, I'm going to do nothing but root it for awhile. It'll be nice having a stock, fast, stable phone.
I guess the issue solved
I never would be able to live with Stock. Seeing how buggy that Stock is - Samsung GB 2.3.4KK4, I'm looking at you: Browser lag, Gallery black out, camera and music player with battery limit, intentionally low volume, SMS time bug etc.
As far as theming I tend to agree - stock Samsung theme is pretty good.
Also: having stable undervolt and overclock is causing a shout of joy in my nerd innards, I can jump and sing at the triumph of technology.
In all ROM ICS quickly gets the battery, and sometimes even 100% in 30 minutes dropped to 20%. Those who have any solutions to this problem?

This should should not be in this section. Also, you should use search and find answers.
The ICS releases on here are using a mixed kernel base which isn't pure ICS and thus can cause strange drain issues.
IF it starts to drain rapidly, reboot your phone and recharge. Also try calibrating your battery.
This is posted in the wrong forum, should be in the general section... in future read the rules
Edit: Beaten to it again
as its here i will reply for the um-teenth time. as a rule when flashing new rom ESPECIALLY if coming from GB to ICS it is HIGHLY recommended you wipe battery stats in advance setting within recovery. this is vital to getting accurate reading from your battery. also download battery calibration app from market and run it. i have no battery issue with iscream rom and battery always charges to 100% and discharges normally
hello
I'm sorry, but I just do not know English and writing through the google translator. Because of this, I do not know the general rules and posted it here. Sorry me. The fact that the calibration of the battery, I always do and it does not work, that's why I created this topic. Nothing helps to solve this problem, the battery is sometimes drops and does not work consistently. Seeking a solution to this problem. Thank you. Anyway, we have in our 4pda.ru all this problem and all the complaining about the battery and how to solve this problem we do not know. I ask on behalf of our forum to help solve this problem. Personally, I have only one consideration of this problem is due to the nucleus and that the need to wait for the official kernel. Am I right?

No problem mate. Even with proper sources battery needs calibrating. As a rule should do after every flash. Kernel sources will bring more stability to roms and correct drivers. We are all waiting for those

Could someone kindly point me to the area of know-how for an issue im having with my battery. After flashing many roms and restoring many backups, my phone is losing battery faster than ever without any services running. I have used a battery calibration app to assist in my issue but to no avail. It will drain very fast but lose ZERO percents over night and even gain 4 to 5 percent while the screen is off for extended time. THis led me to believe my battery is out of whack and needs some TLC pls help b0ss

Maybe no one has helped you because they don't know the answer. Look at the forums for this device, it's not very active. Most people have moved onto other devices. As far as I know, there is no way to calibrate the battery. Have you tested a different battery?

i thought this was a general request regarding batteries, not the device itself. Mod moved this thread here.. ive tried the apps, i also just deleted the batterystats.bin file and rebooted. Still hangs on 2 %. I did buy an offbrand battery that claimed to be 4200 MA but it wasnt. It was stock size and that battery was chill for the most part for a week then literally bit the dust. Wouldnt stay charged. It even weighed half the weight as my 2 year old original battery. So now im on the 2 year old one with this issue. Would you think it would be the battery itself making this happen? Or is it related to my software?

Oh I didn't know they moved it here, I thought you originally posted here. I'm not sure on S5, but on my old LG, after flashing a few roms the phone would act weird with battery life. I'm not sure about the specifics, but I think getting it back involved draining it to 0%, charging to 100%, then draining back to 0%, and repeating the process about 5 times. But that was a different phone, so I'm not sure. Have you disabled any background apps that may be running? I've disabled all touchwiz stuff I can think of so it won't run.

Hi everyone.
My name is Adam, it's my first post here, but I'm already long time with you guys.
At the beginning i would apologise for my probably bad English. But I'm already desperate to write her and ask for help.
I'm definitely not newbie. But not a "geek" of course, but doesn't scared me rooting, img flashing, adb and fastboot command's etc. I've played already with old good Xperia X10, later with HTC Desire HD long time ago. This is also my third Nexus. First was N4, then N5 and now shamu.
But...
My N6 is also quite close to "meet the wall or floor"...
So, the problem is, my Nexus randomly, suddenly turned off. Without any warning. There is no rules. Sometimes one, two times per day, other time I'm turn them on, and after a while phone go's off again. Mostly happened that when network signal strength go's lower, but not always. Sometimes it's happening with max signal strength. Just like i says, no rules. I have tried everything. Flashing stock image -the same situation. Custom ROMs -nothing changed... Cyanogen Mods 13,14, different kernels tons of radios and bootloader's -really doesn't matter. Still the same.
Around year ago battery was changed. Using now not original, but also not some "cheaper no name" battery, without any issues. Doesn't look like that are on some way connected, but probably should i mention that.
Attached Logcat log (splitted because of size restrictions), dmesg log and some SysFS dump log created with Kernel Adiutor app.
Maybe those can help and explain something.
Please help... I love my phone much... we have explored together hundreds or thousends of builds and mods, but so far I'm really close to say goodbye to my old good friend Nexus.
Greetings and thanks in advance
Adam.

The logcat Has thousands of errors and many of the errors are rom related but there is also a few battery related
11-09 22:17:16.458 20299 20335 E BatteryStatsService: power: Missing API
This I bet is where it is causing an issue.
As for the battery I wouldnt trust anything but an official replacement. I know that might not be an option really but unless it is official replacement then I wouldnt use it.
Could be true, issue attempt first time after I've changed battery, but quite long time was perfect. No such of issue. Is there some way to prove if those error are guilty?
Thanks for your respond.

Sorry, network laggy.

The only way to tell is run completely stock. And then go from there. Any errors that come up will have to be fixed one by one until you find the issue.
Or put back the old battery temporarily to see if it works?

Wiping completely with media and flashing stock image seems to be the most reasonable steps so far.
