Eris Battery Drain since 2.1 update

[Magik_Missles]

My wife updated to the 2.1 OTA software a while back and has had nothing but problems since. Insane battery drain first of all. It will drop from 80% to 20% in a matter of two hours, TOPS. I downloaded spare parts and checked partial wake usage with nothing out of the ordinary (all stats were under 8%). In the "other usage" category, it lists "running time" at over 65-70%. I check my Droid, and my "running time" stat is around 5-8%. She never had this issue before the update. I've checked GPS, Wi-Fi, updates, sync, etc. and it all is either set to off, update hourly instead of 15 minutes. Last night she received a Force Close message from the HTC system program while trying to set an alarm ringtone.

Have you guys had any issues after the update? I think my first stop will be to factory wipe the phone and try to update it again.

some things for people to check on and disable when not in use are:

Bluetooth
GPS
Mobile Network
Wifi
Weather Sync(just either turn off or change the time to sync)
Gmail sync
any type of app you have running constantly(such as lookout)


you can try using a task manager but some people have different results with them

also check for the standby battery glitch.

All the syncs have already been ruled out. What is this "standby battery glitch" you mentioned? Is this a documented issue that I am not aware of?
