The situation is the same with, say, the HTC Wizard.</p> pubDate Fri, 08 Dec 2006 09:35:15 -0600 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2634 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/extend-your-battery-life-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C-never-published-tips-and-comparative-benchmarks#comment-2630 <p>Unfortunately, XCPUScalar is known for such problems. I don't really recommend it. Either run your device at 208 MHz (settable in the Processor applet) or use, say, a media player (if you plan to play MP3's only, where 208 MHz is well enough) that has built-in downclock capabilities; for example, 40iPlay.</p> pubDate Sat, 11 Nov 2006 10:31:07 -0600 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2630 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/extend-your-battery-life-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C-never-published-tips-and-comparative-benchmarks#comment-2628 <p>You want to mail the author of the app - he's pretty active in the linked forum.</p> pubDate Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:30:10 -0500 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2628 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/extend-your-battery-life-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C-never-published-tips-and-comparative-benchmarks#comment-2626 <p>Is the field strong where you use your phone? While the xv6600 had a very bad battery life, the xv6700 seems to be better (see for example <a href="http://www.evdoforums.com/about1285.html">this review</a>). That is, I think your battery problems are related to the very weak field strength. Under such circumstances, phones will consume much more power.</p> <p>I also recommend <a href="http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&amp;forumid=174">this forum</a> - hope you'll find some related threads there.</p> pubDate Tue, 13 Jun 2006 00:25:15 -0500 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2626 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/extend-your-battery-life-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C-never-published-tips-and-comparative-benchmarks#comment-2624 <p>Well, let me disagree as far as key information is concerned: for example, the info on infrared power consumption, over/underclocking, Wi-Fi P2P power consumption are IMHO key information.</p> <p>BTW, you're right in that a much shorter summary of this stuff may be needed - I'll add it some time.</p> pubDate Sun, 16 Apr 2006 08:40:48 -0500 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2624 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/extend-your-battery-life-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C-never-published-tips-and-comparative-benchmarks#comment-2622 <p>Yup, acbPowerMeter seems not to be compatible with some Pocket PC models.</p> pubDate Wed, 12 Apr 2006 10:02:20 -0500 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 2622 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms
