Re: 3.35 Battery Killer. More like slaughterer.

To everyone who keeps posting how great their battery is: We get it.
This is the equivalent of replying to a the topic "help my screen is cracked" by saying "Mine is not cracked. In fact it's clear as crystal!"
Regardless of how great YOUR battery is, some of us experienced a major drop in battery life. Not a little. A lot. I unplug at 7:00am and by noon will be down to 80% with NO USE. Just sitting in my pocket like always.

The people who are having this problem need to figure out what we have in common because we all agree that the battery was strong before the upgrade.

ROM's have nothing to do with this new problem.
Programs have nothing to do with it. (I've tried flashing with bare minimal options.)
It's not the GPS. I've had GPS working BEFORE the radio upgrade with no serious drain. It does however crank the drain into overdrive now. 20 minutes of GPS use will kill the battery by over 20 percent.

That leaves the Radio.

I have a few options left. Try to reflash the radio over itself. Maybe something wasn't right with the original flash.
or
Roll back to the old radio.
or
Get a new battery because maybe maybe what if, the radio flash somehow actually harmed the battery permanently.
