Hey
Is there an alternative to the default battery gauge on this phone? I used to have an X1 and downloaded the Vista battery gauge which was great. Is there something similar for the mini pro?
Cheers
the app called quick battery is pretty good

Hi!
I just bought a XS, and wondering how to use the battery for first (or few first ^_^) time so that the battery can reach best performance?
Thanks!
I didn't think this was necessary with modern Li-Polymer batteries.
Can i replace mini pro battery with wt19i's battery ???? i have heard walkman has got a good battery life.. is it true ??? m very much new to this forum. plz help me out.
The battery is completely the same, using the battery in mini(pro) doesn't change anything.
Walkman might have better battery life, because it consumes less battery than mini pro, but the batteries are same(same voltage, same mAh), so you don't gain more juice.
i would like to buy the mediapad and i wonder if can i change the battery easily
because i 've heard the battery is poor but also in the future the perfomance of the battery is going down
thanks
Hi
I looked here and there is a ton of custom ROMs listed; http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak/ROMs#Custom_Roms
but which one so far, have the best battery life for the Streak 5?
Here's my current usage:
1. I do not play games, no fun apps, no youtube
2. I do not use maps or GPS
3. I use 2 browser apps: Opera Mini and stock browser frequently
4. 2 email apps: Gmail and Yahoo
5. I use timeriffic to keep my phone on airplane mode from 11pm - 7am
I'd like to keep the Streak up online for at least 3-4 days on a single charge.
Thanks for your help!
The ROM is not your major issue here. That kind of battery life is unlikely to happen with a standard 1500MAh or even a Mugen 1800MAh battery as the Streak simply draws too much power for such battery life to be feasible. Switch to a Mugen 4800MAh battery and you'll get that kind of battery life, but at a price. The Mugen battery is larger.

I have been trying to find ways to optimize battery life by using apps like Timeriffic. Do you know any app that shuts the android phone down and restarts it at a designated time?
Thanks for the advice regarding the Mugen battery alternative!
Regarding the ROMs (2.3.3 and up), which would you recommend given that I am light on the apps side? Just a lightweight and extremely stable custom ROM. Thanks again!
Cheers.
DSC 2.3 is the most full-featured ROM available, being based off the Olleh KT 407 ROM. Thus it properly supports all the Streak's features. If you want a lighter ROM than that one of the CyanogenMod ROMs with the Phoenix kernel will do you fine. The only issues I encountered with using a CyanogenMod-based ROM was the zoom no longer functioned on the camera and the dialpad being too small on the dialer.
so, my battery life was a bit bad on my mate 10 pro, so i replaced the battery with an official one from huawei, i checked the capacity and it's 4030MAH. so it's what it should be.
yet i seem to still have bad battery life. even under wifi, no apps in background, doing normal stuff like youtube/what's app/ google chrome.
i have bluetooth always on because i have a huwei smartwatch, however i don't think it's the problem, as in the battery usage bluetooth is super low
How did you check the battery? Maybe wait for a week or two. Try to install accubattery and share the stats after one or two weeks.
