It just slays my battery when I am at my girlfriend's. Theres basically no service of any kind here. If I keep wifi on, the data connection stays off and the battery only drops by 30% or so overnight. If I dont turn wifi on its a guarantee the battery will be dead by morning no matter what.

This is annoying enough for me to go back to a custom rom :/ Right now as soon as the backlight goes off, so does wifi and the phone tries to get a 1x roaming data connection with 0-1 bars and has a hard time doing it.
I don't understand. If there's no usable cellular connection, why not just turn off the cellular radio using the Comm Manager?

Is it that you need data services while the phone is in standby or just that you're trying to save battery? In the former case, I can't offer any help. If it's the latter, then WiFi is eating some of your battery, too.

Until we got our Airave the first thing I did upon walking in the house was to turn off the cellular radio to prevent the battery from dying within a few hours. For a while I used an early version of Ageye G-Profile in an attempt to manage this manually but eventually could take care of it in a second or so.
