whenever you upgrade rom, battery drains pretty quick for a couple of days. give it some time.

Hmmm, I'm not going to agree. I left the house to go to the beach at 1pm yesterday, took some pics, uploaded to FB, answered 3 emails and 1 text. Got home at 7, forgot to charge phone, it's now 10:30AM next morning and I'm at 80% charge. That's about average for me with push mail on.

You have something else running in the background or some odd registry mod, maybe left BT or Wifi on???

I agree that Sense 2.5 drains battery more quickly than 2.1. But the battery performance is still quite good IMO. I left it at 80% last night and this morning it's still 80%.

Re: batteryt life on sprint 6.5 horrible
 

Strongly disagree. With heavy usage I'm still at about %60 after 24 hours

Re: batteryt life on sprint 6.5 horrible
 

I also disagree. My battery life seems to be about the same maybe even a little better. Its been about 30 hours since my phone was last on the charger and Im at about 50%, until that is I get to my car to charge it. But still lasting that long has to say something.

this stock 6.5 has giving me the best battery of any rom ive ever tried, but it could just be the new radio idk but i would give it some time & if u still get bad battery then just switch to something else i guess

Re: batteryt life on sprint 6.5 horrible
 

what is interesting is it drains the first 10% quickly that slows down.

usually the time from 100% to 90% take a lot longer. We will see. I might just go back to SPB Mobile Shell as that seem to work well.

i also would have to say battery life is better it last a lot longer using the wifi router than the 6.1 rom ever did for me

All things being equal (old programs reinstalled on 6.5), my battery life is roughly equal to before, not significantly better or worse. I have noticed that programs sometimes do not quit when I exit it, hence they are running in the background, could that be what is happening to you? If there is a persistent connection to the network with the program not properly quitting, could that be causing your battery drain?
