Re: 3.35 Battery Killer. More like slaughterer.

I don't want this thread to get lost so I am updating it with my findings.

I too believe that I got more battery life from my stock ROM and radio. On the other hand there is something to be said about the 1% battery utility. It gives the illusion that your battery is dying faster then if it were to stay at 70% for a few hours.

I have been running on the same charge since yesterday at 5pm which makes it over 30 hours now. I am at 65%. I didn't use the GPS but I did call some people and used some wi-fi. I noticed the most substantial drop in battery power after finishing a call. It went from 73% to 68% in like 2 minutes.

I suppose the GPS is pretty heavy on the battery and I was using it extensively after I first flashed the ROM (I was excited!). Now that I am using the phone moderately, I am back to my original usage, and if the battery lasts a couple of days I am happy.

After reading this thread I have to conclude that the main problem exists when using the radio intensive features (phone, GPS, wifi). It seems to drain much faster then on a stock ROM. I hope no2chem can look into this. Has someone sent no2chem a message so he is aware of this problem?
