Gonna get a full charge on this bad boy and disable juice defender again (now that I have D107).. If batt. life still sucks for me, then I'll try the root, lag fix, etc. that Chronster mentioned.

(Still testing heh..I'm not giving up till we figure it out or get froyo )
I have the fascinate, but it should be the same with the epic.

rooting isn't hard either. I've never owned an Android phone and I had this one rooted 10 minutes after owning it LOL

Basically, go to Settings>Applications>Running Services and take a look at what applications show up in that list that you'll never use. These are the apps you can get rid of first.

I really am leaning towards voice commands being a culprit as well.

Oh also, I found this app called Watchdog. It tells you when apps are using too much cpu power, or "misbehaving." Not a bad app actually.
