I'm considering buying Diamond2 and glad to hear your experiences with device..I checked the forum posts and I noticed many problems like quick battery drain, heating issues
I also find good reviews of Omnia II so It is really difficult to decide between OmniaII and diamond2
OmniaII better hardware but bad UI and less support
Diamond2 better UI (touch flo 3d) and good support but hardware issues
Your help will be very appreciated
well, having TD2 for 5 months now, I cand say some things. I have read the forum from April till now and many problems have occured. But many of there, I haven't witnessed in my device. The whole idea is that luck plays a major part here. Depending on what device you receive.
My battery lasts about 4 days with some calls, music not so much internet and a lot of texting. Seems okay to me.
other problems ... practically non-existent. I must add that it all depends on what you want form your device. There a re many who start changing settings in registery, changing windows mobile and so on and they end up asking what to do. If you mind your own business, nothing bad will come to you
Hope this helps. Cheers!! <any more questions, will be happy to answer>

Agree!
I have the TD2 and it's worked perfectly all along. The battery drain is a factor with heavy use, but not more so than any other smart phone.

It is possible...
Here, using Nataly`s ROM and the newest Radio, I can get ~3 days with 1 full charge, and thats because I charge my phone when it gets about 25% remaining charge (Im afraid to need to use the GPS or something and the battery dies )

Who said that I don`t use all features ? I just don`t use ALL the time...
I don`t need to be with my phone on hands all the time... I hardly use GPS (using Garmin Mobile XT), SMS text, MP3 player and phone calls.. Still can get this battery life.
Thank you for your replies,
With TESS 3.4 and Radio 3.47 I'd get 3 days with around a half-hour wifi use per day, light texting and calls, updating weather, g/f playing bubble breaker etc.
Very capable device, immensely happy with it.

THAT is the problem..
You are using STOCK ROM (Windows)...
Just see the benchmarks of all ROMs and you can see that stock ROM SUCK all ways !!!
Just flash a new ROM and see the difference.

Well, the problem is... All LEO ROMs are power drainers... Just try TESS 2F or Nataly`s ok!
i get average power drain on Dutty's ROM (R5).
lasts between 1.5-3 days...depending on what i do.
seeing as i use my bluetooth headset to listen to musice, while jogging/cycling in the forest and using the GPS/Garmin XT AND then browse WebCT at university via WiFi...i dont think ANY device would last much more than 1 day... and yet it does... AND i call and sms 1-5 times a day. (short calls though.)
as for the diamond as such, my ONLY complaint is the shiny back cover...i WISH it was matte (it will be soon with my matte acrylic paint coming)... everything else is AWESOME! (except the standard keyboard...i still have to find a new one i like.)
hope that helps
Hey guys
I have installed the official rom 1.66 WWE from HTC.com, and I can't believe how bad the battery life is.
I have it charged fully by the morning and barely use anything in it, maybe I do just browse for few minutes, and by about 9 PM the battery is life shows only about 5%. What the hell how can such a great device have such a bad battery life.
I always check if there are running programs in the background so the only ones that are always running are:
1- gyrator
2- wifi
3- active sync
is any of those the cause of draining the battery life.
On my iphone I have always wifi on, and I browse alot and the battery life is much better than HD2
Please advise?
WIFI thats wat does it...... dont forget the hd2 has a bigger screen then the iphone and also its more powerful then it to.
Install the bsb tweaks it will help out abit
hmmmm strange....i have wi-fi turned on most of the time yet i get a good day and a half of average usage out of mine.......
you have wifi on all the the time and are wondering why your battery is draining so badly?!?!?!?
:facepalm:

Hey guys.. I'm using Cotullas stock Desire HD nand rom... My battery last about a day with a few calls/sms...(Today i woke up and my phone was dead)
With SD card builts i have 2-3 days battery life with only a few calls/sms! Is there any other new NAND built that battery drainage is ok?
Since I've installed a NAND Android build, my phone lasts much longer than with SD card builds.

LOL! WTF? Maybe because you have a T-Mous or something?
What built do you have?????
I'm with Cotullas stock Desire HD too. And now, sometime I see 3ma in standby.
Till now I've never see less then 4ma. So, for me, it`s better with nand Android
I have autosync active... all the time.(weather, email, facebook...)
You can check programs... some program may be is draining a lot of power.
Did you test with clean ROM, without any installed programs?

there is a Desire HD rom, not made by cotulla, but Gauner, in the Android development section.
Guys, which software do you use to to check battery drain - I cannot see where the mA statistics are reported, only what is using my battery.... Thank you

which was ur sd build?i got just 4hr aftrr wake up.it is dead.
I've been going for 27hrs now on the same battery with over 40% still left! I have only made 1 call, but used it lots on wifi and SMS.
Awesome, the battery usage i'd say.
Is your wifi on ? i have a normal HD2 (Not Tmouse) and i had massive batt drain above 50mah sleep until i turned wifi completely off.
now i get 2-5mah sleep.
I have wifi on. Its in 3g in standby mode. Have u turned off wifi location setting. That helped alot in all builds.

I have been on hd2 since the MDJ days and have tried heaps of roms. I have been very happy with hyperdroid.
But is it the best for battery? I would like to know the best 2.3 rom for battery life guys.
Thanks.

There is no such ROM that can be classified as best battery ROM. Try using different ROMs and see which one suits your usage and requirements the best.
I am using American Android and i get a day of battery life with normal use....little of WiFi....Data ON
OK cheers. Problem is it take a while to figure out how good or bad a rom is.
What I am hearing is none will be substantially better than hyperdroid.
I have just ordered a new OEM battery so will report back on any upgrade from my 2 year old one

The only differences in battery life I can see are between SD and NAND ROMs, but other than that as far as I can tell all NAND ROMs are pretty much the same at around 4ma
Yes...NAND ROMs do have more battery life than SD ROMs as for SD ROMs there is RW to SD card for everytime.
Do share the battery performance with NAND Hyperdroid with heavy usage.. (like data always on and wifi usage + lot of calls and sms )
Idle drain is to my issue. I guess that large screen sucks thee juice

Then from what I've experienced all ROMs will give you 3-5ma battery drain with screen off so you should be fine.
hI,
Do you know have a rom battery life for HD2 ?
i need it. Thanks

Stick to GB (probably CM7/MIUI) as I've found that ICS has very random and unpredictable spikes in battery drain. Other than that though, it depends entirely on how you use your phone, there will never be a 'best ROM for battery' so never ask that question.
