Re: What's your battery drain in standby?

I'm on EnergyROM's newest ROM (I think Jan 14), and his roms have always had great standby battery life. I charged my phone to 100%, and it lasted well over 24 hours with minimal use (some text mesages, a few brief phone calls, and a quick lookup on Google Maps with GPS used). Very impressed.

I'll do a test with the attached file above, and report back later today. I'm at 100% charge now, so we'll see what happens.
I agree Energy ROM's are good at standby Battery usage and I used his ROM as a basline to know what is at least achievable. I believe his ROM would also get 20ma on standby.

Energy is very sensitive to Battery drain.

I could easily go 2-3 days on standby with Energy ROM or the ROM I built.

With normal usage (30-45 minutes of calls and 30-45 minutes of surfing) I'm at around 60-70% battery left at the end of the day. That's at a 30% fixed brightness, bluetooth on and data connected all day.

I do think Energy makes one of the best ROMs (I have not tried them all) but there were subtle issues like no voice comamnd cooked in and Sprint Provision issues (#777 pop up, ##codes# not all working etc.) that Calkulin's stuff does perfectly out of the box. It so happens Calkulin is on Sprint and Energy is not which I think is part of the reason.

I think it's a good idea to pick a chef on the same carrier so you know all the little carrier specific quirks are ironed out.
