Hey all,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I thought I would let everyone know how my little test has been going (testing the stock rom).

After installing the stock rom and installing all my usual programs I started my little test. The test was simple, to see how long I could go without a charge using my phone as I regularly would. Here is how it went:

-I charged my phone all Sunday night and began using it on a monday at 7:00am.
-I used my phone as I normally would, 10-20 phone calls a day, plus 5-10 internet usages throughout each day (all less than 5 min. long, most of the time it was just a min. or so to sync my calendar with scheduleworld)
-I even used gps for 15 minutes or so on Wednesday.
-On friday afternoon, at about 3:00 my phone finally died

I repeat FRIDAY. I went from monday to friday on one charge. Battery life is WAY better with the stock rom than with dcd 3.0.2 or no2chem's 5060.

I have been using the stock rom for a while now, and am very pleased with its responsiveness and battery life.

Please note:
-The week I tested the batt. life I mostly use my phone for what it is... A Phone.
-When I did use the internet it was alway simple, less than 5min tasks, no music streaming or anything like that. Mostly googlemaps, email, cal syncing, check out the new movies... stuff like that.

I have noticed that the stock rom will actually disconnect it self from the internet when it is not in use, like it is supposed to. The custom roms would not. To me, this points to the internet being one of the major draining factors in the new radio (much more so than it should).

In the next couple of days I am going to try out DCD'S 3.0.4. I love the custom roms but I need my battery life more than I need all the customizations.
