Monday-Tuesday: DATA/Verizon 3G, always on (default). Showed 16 hours connected when my battery was at 20%. Push enabled, Messenger signed in, ~30 minutes of browsing, 50-70 texts, 30 emails.

Full charge Tuesday night (using fast charge).

Wednesday - Sunday: EVDO automatic off after 1 minute. Right now phone is showing 37% battery left. Push enabled (1X for SMS/email downloads). Messenger is signed on, even using a voip app called loudtalks. Whenever I open Opera 3G kicks in, for everything else it uses 1X. 3G automatically kills itself after 1 minute of standby/sleep mode. Current phone uptime 64 hours.

Running Silence Rom 9 with TF3D enabled, no bluetooth, push and beam enabled, 3G enabled (in comm manager). Power draw: 98mA without 3G active, with active 157mA.

I did not put the phone on any form of charger (never connected to PC, never plugged into the wall outlet).

im going to try that
what did you change and what did you use?
if i remember correctly there is an option in Advanced Config for this?

Have you ever run the 25 minute benchmark function in Battlog? I am showing between 375 and 400mA for the 5 minute data portion of the benchmark, no matter which radio I try. I am more interested in what your watt-hours are, though. Mine averaged around 8.5WH for the data portion of the test. Very curious what your results would be.

Go into Diamond Tweak

Under data/gsrp/evdo category
Very first option, called "Disconnect After"
by default it is set to "Disabled". I just moved it to one minute and I'll let you know in a few days how it works!

so does it re-enable when needed after the minute has past?

[RonDutt]

Yup, it turns back on when needed (browsing, streaming music, slingplayer) but for things like SMS or emails without attachments (embedded images dont trigger it) it stays off.

@kevm14 I haven't run Battlog yet, I'll give it a try if you can provide a link/cab. The only time my mA goes over 200 is when its plugged in--478mA (why, not really sure).

apoirier594 Name's just Ron I go by my full name everywhere though.
