Re: ROM 3-9-10 Twisted Goodsense LANDSCAPE!! Sense 2.5 build 21876

Battery life seems to be an interesting phenomena with the phone and ROM. Overall I'd say the ROM is much better on batter life than prior versions. It seems that after the phone is full charged, it drops from 100% to 90 relatively quickly but then eventually stabilizes.

Yesterday I took my phone off the charger at about 3pm and now this morning at 7.30 am, more than 16 hours later it is at 50%, which I think, by typical standards, is remarkable. Admittedly there was light use - a couple of briefs calls, email polling through active sync, etc., some web browsing, and a couple mins use of iGO GPS (which btw runs great on the TP).

I had even downloaded a Formula 1 live timing app and played around with it for a bit.

So while I've had the ROM installed for about a week, this definitely the best battery life I've seen in that week. For those with bad life, assuming the battery is still good, take a look in the task manager and verify nothing is running that would drain the battery.
