But with 3.35 rom I could be on phone and email, and a little gps and be at 70% in 8 hours.
I've noticed better battery life. I work all day, 8 hours with a set of bluetooth headphones, streaming audio via EVDO and with the old rom I used to get a drain on the battery even when plugged into my wall charger, usually down around 60%. I did the same all day today and still had 90% when I left. I've used Schap's Advanced Configuration Utility to enable several power saving features that are disabled by default. I've noticed no difference in performance, and battery life is much better.
