@2k4mach: My idle discharge rate for all 3 devices are less than 100 mA (using Homescreen ++ UI). Sometimes I wonder if software are calculating the drain based upon observable factors and therefore have sharp differences in reported value.

I will continue to keep notes on my experience with the TP2 and report back.



Edit: What is your real-world run time with TP2 compared to TP1/Diamond?
I don't have any concrete data on a stock tp1 vs. stock tp2 so I can only speak from experience. All the tweaks I did to my tp1 definitely made an improvement on battery performance. When I go to work, my daily routine as far as phone use is basically the same. I usually send the same amount of emails and texts everyday as well as about 2 hours worth of phone calls(this is all during work from 8-5). I pull my phone off the charger exactly at 7am as I am walking out the door to go to work. By noon, I may have anywhere from 20% to 30% left and I have to recharge my phone fully to make it to the end of my shift. With the tp2, again taking it off the charger at 7am, with the same use up until noon(give or take a 5% margin of error in estimated use), I am sitting at about 70% with no need for me to recharge at that time. Now I know this is by no means scientifically accurate but based on my experience there is definitely a huge difference in performance for sure. As for my diamond, I really don't use that as much. Thats more of a casual weekend phone or when I don't feel like having anything bulky. But my diamond did perform better than my tp1 but not quite as good as my tp2
