For how long D2 battery lasts?

Hi,
I have diamond, and thinking to get diamond2.
I have a question for D2 owners.
How is the battery life on D2, because the original battery for D1 was terrible, I got the extendet one so it's ok. But as I know there is no extendet battery for D2. And the stock one is just a bit bigger then D1. But the screen is also bigger on D2, with drains more battery, I think.
How long the phone lasts with moderate use? Also is there a difference with 6.1 and 6.5.1 rom with battery drainage?
And maybe someone had D1 and now hase D2, so whats the + and - compared?
Thanks

I have had both. The TD2's battery is considerably better than the TD(1) in my opinion. I'd say the TD2 would be at about 30-40% charge once the TD(1) run out.

I think my TD2's battery is pretty good, as long as 3G and bluetooth are turned off. Other than that: abysmal (Not quite TD1 bad, but almost)

I'm getting around 90 hours. I recharge when the battery reaches 40%-50%. Generally bluetooth, wifi, and cellphone radios are turned off. I use my TD2 as PDA.

I find the D2 battery life on WM6.5 much improved. I seemed to be always charging it but now, it's less critical. Also, with all transmitters turned off, the lifetime is pretty good. My phone was on for a week on holiday and the battery was 90% by the end of the week having turned the mobile on for an hour or so to check messages a couple of times.
Of course, turning the phone & WiFi off isn't very practical but it does shown where the power drain comes from - no surprises there!
Cheers, Rob.

am getting 2 days , to 3 ...normal usage, and songs.

got even 4 days with normal usage. Can always buy a bigger battery

My wife got a TD2, and battery lasts for 3-4 days with her usage, and when I used her phone it lasts about 2 days. Not too bad, really.

The longer you have the TD2, the less you "play" with it and therefore the better the battery becomes. Never base battery consumption in the first month of getting your new toy
Cheers, Rob.

On ROM Base 2.18 drained for couple hour.
On 2.16 go 3-4 days with normal usage...
Regards

I have Duty HG R6 and battery drains FAST! Fully charged it lasts less than a day with normal usage on 2G network and everything turned off (BT, WF), few messages and max 2 hours of talking! And one more thing, anyone else experiencing that phone is getting hotter after 5-10 minutes of talking? Sometimes I cant put it on ear because of that...

Same here, 2 hours of talking and battery are gone, all other (BT, Wifi, 3G) are off, no play with device, only talking and some short e-mail read or write.
I search this forum and all users write that device last for 3-4 day ?? But what usage are to last 3-4 day, my phone is empty on half of working day.
And yes, phone are hot after 10-20 minutes of talking, some time my call last for 50-60 minutes, and this is terrible, like radiator on ear.
My call consumes eta 1% for 1 minute of call, (13 minutes , battery drops 11-12%)
Is this normal for this device, i have no answer on this question, but i plan send device to HTC service, because 5 h of talking in specification are far away in my Diamond2.

Maybe we should try some rom with 2.16 base and not 2.18 like miro666 sad. Will try it soon and report than and I'm using 4.49.25.14 radio...

I always have everything switched on with wifi and data access available when needed.
I run a 'lite' ROM, always install all apps to phone mem (Micro SD usage consumes a lot of power) and charge as often as possible.
I am probably what you would describe as a heavy user. I always carry a spare battery and an external power pack.
I need the extra power only rarely and so I usually make it throught an eight hour day on phone power alone with this usage.

Only a Day
I have a standard TD2 with a standard UK 6.5 upgrade.
Battery beeds charging daily. Im not even a heavy user. I make/receive a few calls, send a few texts, check my email and use "Brain Trainer" game for 15mins whilst on the bus going home from work.
The battery is pants!!

Battery time

So guys,ho often do you have to charge your phones?
I got my Tattoo two week ago,and i think that it still didn't reach the full charging cycle,but it will.
After a full charge it lasts for about 24h if I constantly work on it

I charge it evry night

Mine only lasts around 24-36 hours at best at average use. Even less if I play around with it all day.

i have to recharge it everyday or if i don't stay out for to long i may risk and recharge it the next day

I was just thinking about this today. My battery life has significantly increased in the last month. It used to last a day, but now, even with Wi-Fi on for 2-3 hours a day, it lasts 2 days now.

Download an app called juice defender (FREE) from the market. This extends the battery charge time by cutting off APN etc. to allow 2 mins APN connection every 15 mins depending on the settings you select. I only installed this yesterday and it does seem to help.
authors website http://www.latedroid.com/2010/01/juicedefender.html
Use this in conjunction with ultimate juice (paid product, or find it on the net), which gives extra settings and options.

charge mine about every other day - dont use wifi much but do have gmail syncing on . I ve set facebook to update only when I choose. I use the browser a lot over 3g and am failry happy with the battery life

Battery keeps getting better....

Ive had my phone for a month now nad the battery seems to be getting better. Ive resently done a task 29 and updated to Artemis v9 with radio version 2.09 and from 4:30 yesterday afternoon I took it off charge its gone down to 90%. Thats doing light txting and web. Im amazed....

exactly the same experience for me, using the hd2 since december and battery now lasts almost 3 days from time to time
i even bought a second battery to replace it when im not at home lol.. but not that important anymore
and yea, im surfing everyday and text very much, some phone calls too, normal use..

Mine lasts more than a weekend with moderate use now I've had it a few months.

How have you been treating your batteries... run it all the way down then recharge? or keep it topped off?

I usually wait until it gets down to about 10% charge, then top it up.
But, it does get trickle charges during the week while plugging into my car.

i also found my battery getting better
with 40% brightness, from 8:30am online to surf web until 4pm, still have 40%
i think because it uses less cpu processing power and speaker sound(play games or movie), that's why battery can last longer

your probably find that a lot of it is down to how much you use it, Obviously when you first get a phone for the first couple of weeks your going to be using it constantly, figuring out new things and just general playing about, once you have gotten used to it you dont do as much, its not very noticable as its gradual but thats one of the reasons why battery life gets better.

83% now after a bit more txting and a little bit of facebook. ive been charging around 30 40%

I completely agree about the battery, I'm actually amazed
I am using Energy ROM with GTX and C00kie and I am getting a good 2 days of HEAVY usage, and i'm talking hundreds of texts, about an hour on the phone, couple hours of music, couple hours of 3G Internet with 3G on all the time.
I'm amazed.
Just run the battery out and then fully charge it and you're sorted.

Its down to understanding how Lion work.
They like being worked and the harder the better. If used like this over time they will give better and better results. There is no need to discharge or condition them in any way other than charge them as often and for as long as possible and this will maximize battery life over a few weeks. Then you see the benefits.

I agree. I charge my battery whenever I can.​

I got my phone couple days ago and been constantly on it and kill a full overnight charge by lunch time. Hopefully my battery life will get better too. I may need to change some settings too.

Mine seems to be lasting alot longer now - I can go a whole weekend without charging

I think its because ive got nothing installed on the SD card....53%

Energy consumption depends a lot on the availabity of (good) mobile network reception, online usage etc.
Mine lasts about 12 hours until it is almost completely drained due to baaaad mobile connection :-(

32% left..... still going 64 hours....

Battery drains after restart

I don't restart my phone often. Last time it was...maybe 3 months ago...
I restarted it few days ago...and after that battery dropps 30-35% in 24h with no use except checking the time few times per day.
Before that I had these same 35% for 2 days...
I tryed to restart if again of course, it always uses batter so fast...
What happened?
I only changed vsinc off and enabled 24bbp colors...
Vsinc should drain less battery because t0s used only when screen on, 24bpp should use a little more, but anyway, my phone is in stand by almoast whole day...
Thanks for answers

Surprises me... 30-35% in a whole day is a normal %age Nothing to worry about I'd say, that makes a lifetime of 3days, which is correct considering most of us have 2 days lifetime with moderate phone use, and others have just one day with more intense use...

Yes I know...but I had 4 days before turning phone off and back on...I wonder why phone decided to eat more

...4 days on a regular basis? they sound too much
Anyway there should be no difference at all, software/logic wise, between doing a softreset or shuttting off and immediately turning on

I don't use it much, that's why I had battery for 4 days from 100% to 10%
But regulary I charge it every 3 days just in case I'll need battery unexpected for I don't know what.
I use device only for maybe 1 call per day, few sms messages...and weather update 3 times per day...
If I decide to go on the internet or playing games...I need to recharge it the same day or next day for sure...

[Q] Hows your battery ?

So i was wondering.. How is your battery performance on your Hero ?
Well mine is mere **** to say the least I need to charge it during the night and one more time during the day and when i go to bed its empty again .. Not.. good ! I use the Kimera 3.0 rom, which is perfect speed wise.. But the battery is another story (maybe not because of the rom?)
I use the phone a whole lot though.. Much time on Wifi and when not on wifi im on 3G / HDSPA .. But is the battery really supposed to be THAT ****ty?
Is there anything i can do to fix it?

My battery was holding for about 5 days at the beginning, currently it dropped to 2 days

call+sms+game(30')+wifi
used about 1 day

Battery is draining in no time!
If you are using a Custom ROM, after fully recharging your mobile phone
(i.e don't trust the green led, charge for more time) go to recovery and wipe battery stats.
If you still on stock rom, then start closing wifi/bluetooth etc etc..
My experience is that I had to charge it over night once and at least once
during the day... otherwise I would not be having a mobile phone to use

After 2 years my phone's battery is ... how can I say in one word? hmm ... Oh yeah, CRAP! , I recharge it twice a day or once a day but once a day is the perfect word depending how much Mobile Data I use (social networks, browser) and very few calls of 20 to 40 minutes total each day and maybe just maybe 30 minutes of games (once or twice a week I play games). It's not what it used to be .. now I am thinking getting a pocket for my charger for when I go somewhere

My battery was really bad, I'd have to recharge it at night and around 4 PM. Now I bought a new one and it easily makes it a day with 3g turned on and using it a lot.
dealextreme.com/p/pisen-twin160-replacement-3-7v-1350mah-li-ion-battery-for-htc-g3-hero-more-42658

i don't do much things with my phone except like texts and calls, some times wifi, so my battery can last about 2days, which still makes me have no words to say.

Mine lastes about 1 day(Heavy use). And i think is is perfect because i always recharge over night. So it does not need to last more than 12 h.

A couple months back my battery was getting swollen. Enough to make the battery cover bulge a bit. Battery life became a big problem at the end... turn on 3G and I could watch the battery percentage go down before my eyes.
I bought a battery (http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...xtended-replacement-battery-for-htc-hero.html) from Mugen's outlet store (which now seems to be gone?)
The new battery is great. It is at least as good as the original but probably better. The new battery has approx 200mAh more capacity.
I can get at least 1.5 - 2 days with 3G/wifi on all the time. I don't let twitter or facebook or whatever sync all the time though.

Battery holding out real well
I am using the Elelinux 7.1 Custom and it feels like the Battery life has improved. it ist holding out almost 2 and a half day, with 3g on during the day.
I can't remember the battery lasting longer than that but of course shorter. tried a senserom once Hero lived about 24 h.
I am expecting somehow the battery to crash soon I am using him since 2.5 years.
We will see.

I have just bought a new battery for my phone but it still dorps to 45% from the 8 in the morn till 23PM. Old one didn't make it till the night.
Average use. Half an hour calls, all time data network connection at hsdpa. 2 email accounts + gmail and facebook syncing.

I charge my hero every night save in exceptional cases, use the 3G connection when away from home and wi fi when they are, I surf on the internet enough and i play with games sometimes!
I think it's okay

i can use it fro an entire day w/o the battery dropping below 30% so im very happy with it. I always load it when I'm at home

After 2 years my phones battery still doesn't drain that much energy. I can llast 2 days with my Hero with the ICS rom from Glassmacka [Ice Cream Sandwich for Hero
