Today, used the phone for a 1/2 hour and used Wi-fi for about 10 min, the battery was dead. This is driving me nuts.

I'm doing a test with this (I guess I will be flashing my phone a few times to try to figure this one out). Right now, just flashed with no tweaks or hacks, just the OS and applications I need(nothing funky that would run in the background). I'll see if this helps. Just put in a fresh charged battery, so if it dies after using the phone for a while tonight, I'll reflash with a different combo to see if that works. I am saving my config file every time I do a change.

As I posted before, at one point I had the phone running(with 6.1 from the kitchen) for 2 days, an hour with internet and over 4 hours of talk time before the standard battery died. I had to reflash due to missing apps I needed...ugh..

When I flash this phone for these test, I will flash the phone with a current battery but, for the test, will replace with a fresh charged one.

Edit 4/3: Ok, so I tried it with no hacks or tweaks installed, and over all it did pretty well, No 2 days but, used for phone for about 2 hours talk time and a lasted most of the day. I ended up putting it on the charger with about 40% life left. So far, so good.

Edit 4/4: I re-flashed it again today with the "battery perfomance" tweak and it made it worse(much worse), only about an hour of talk time (53:25 to be exact, stand by for about 4 hours, no internet or wi-fi), after I got off the phone it went into flight mode then after about 30 seconds it shut off. If this works like it did for me here, I would avoid this hack with WM6.1

Edit: 4/5: Reflashed, again. Only "hack or tweak" is Advanced configuration. Went into the Power Management section, and enabled all power management options. Set backlight on 3rd bar from off for back light on battery and 30 second time out. So far today, about a 1/2 hour on the phone (not too many calls today) and standby for about 8 hours, battery still showing at 80%. So far so good today, will update this post when the battery gets low or dies. Will keep phone running till it dies, even if over night. The battery is working a hair bit better than when I did with no tweaks at all but, no 2 day. I will look over my options for tweaks to see if I can find out this combo to get better life out of this thing, like I had before.

Will update again when I flash it again
