Re: 3.35 Battery Killer. More like slaughterer.

it's definitely the radio.

I have been using all the roms, and battery life was the best on 2.17. On 3.16 it got worse, and then on 3.35 it was more pitiful.

i recently cooked a rom using basekit 5059, and now 5060, and I *think* it's worse, but I haven't really gone through a normal weekday, so I can't comment, but I was discussing this issue with no2chem, and he mentioned that he has been noticing worse battery life, and he is chalking it up to the radio, which I agree. the 3.whatever radio that comes with 3.35 is a huge battery hog or so it seems. I took my phone off the charger this morning around 1230, and it's now 2:24AM, and I'm at 61%. albeit I did make some calls, and send a few texts, but nothing substantial. probably no more than 1.5 hours of talk, and no more than 20 texts. a little bit of internet usage. is the battery life bad? yes. bad enough to go back to older roms? no.
