Ok i seem to have a fix (well.... not MY fix. I saw it somewhere but i cant remember where) for the battery drain. A program called "Bandswitch"
Works perfect!!!!! Basically i guess the battery drain was due to the data connection always on. CDMA sends txt,mms, and voice calls go though 1x not the 3G data so theres no need to have it on all the time. Bandswitch is set up to automatically shut off the data connection after a certain amount of time. For example mine is set to shut off the data connection after 60 secs of inactivity. Ive been up since 9 am. Its now 7pm here on the east coast and i got a reading of 82% of my battery left. Thats with normal usage and checking my RSS HUB feeds. Try it out. I think you'll like it
