Also, I had one strange occurrence. I received a text message with the alert and the little number 1 next to text but when i clicked text there was no message. An hour later I got a call from the person asking me if i received their text. It never did show up. very strange.
overall still loving these nfs roms.
edit: i was using the windows default view (which i like) but i decided to try touch flo 2.1 and it's very nice but the text message came up in touch flo.... so the default appears to be glitchy.

1. Synching 3 email accounts constantly will drain the battery. This is common sense
2. Using WiFi router will drain the battery at about 600-700 mA because you are maxing out your data connection + you are using the WiFi chip as a router. This is a phone after all, so if you are planning on using it as a WiFi router for more than one hour, consider getting a 3g usb stick instead.
3. Do not restore text messages after you flash. This is known to mess up the entire text messaging system.
I hope this helps
EDIT: If you want to preserve as much battery as possible, make it a habit to turn off the data connection everytime you are done using it.
