Wildman, what does "disable location" do to us? Or what can't we use with it disabled? what are the cons. Also, should i uncheck "HTC location service" also?? I just un-checked the main Location service setting but wondering if I should leave the HTC on. (right now I have both off. Unless you tell me I'll will be missing something important (something we want location on for), i will try this for a few days.

thanks again all of you. If this help they gave me saves my Batt life even a tiny bit I'm putting this ROM back on. I loved it the few days I tried it.

P.S. Just so you guys know, I think that my bluetooth on all day is the KILLER. It probably is the biggest Batt hog there is.....
The bluetooth being on all the time is definitely one of your battery drain possibility, I disable mine any time I am not using or need it (Can set front tv button to disconnect internet when pressed).... Now as for disabling location service, this wont really effect any thing major really except the weather location tags, I just set my location manually and if you use Google map it may show issues locating you quickly but I use IGO 8 and it seems not to cause any issues locking on.

Also disabling location service you will notice that web connection wont stay connected all the time (Only When Needed) and this is a plus on battery power drain.. Another thing to consider is to disconnect from web when not in use, like after closing web browser or weather update. (Disable auto weather update also will help) Web will connect still when you click update now on weather or home page menu...

Hope I clarified this solution.... If you still have question, feel free to post back with any question and I will try to help...

One last thing, I am unsure how locked in you are to use Touchflo but disabling it will save you ram and power also, run Titanium without using Touchflo should improve battery life you can try The Nonsense ROM (6.5 Titanium Only) by maisonpulaski and see if it works for you...
