Re: |HERM|ROM|6.5|WWE| ** EnergyROM 'Genesis' (23016) ** | Built Sep 20th | Manila 2

So I have read a lot of posts about the battery consumption of this ROM. I never paid much heed because I use Lumos and it isn't an issue for me...and if it were I would still use the ROM because it is just that good.
I had an interesting battery experience that I thought I would share. Maybe it will help someone or maybe someone can just explain it to me. Here goes: Two days ago (around nine in the AM) I had a fully charged battery and was messing around with Palringo and noticed that it has a location setting. I enabled it (which required me to enable GPS, phone>location setting) and it found me within seconds. I left the Palringo location setting on and within two hours my charge was down to 42%. I quit Palringo and disabled GPS, put my phone back on the charger until it was fully charged...about 1pm. With light use my charge dropped to 17% by 6pm. The next morning I hard reset and let Sashimi work it's magic and was back in business at noon with a full charge. I am posting this at 9:56pm the day after and my phone still has a 20% charge....that's 34 hours later with light to medium use and constant google push email. 24+ hours is what I am use to on this ROM. I just don't know what I changed by toggling the GPS that would have caused such a rapid battery drain.

Anywho, everything is back to normal and I hope my wordy story helps someone.

Cheers
