Re: Battery Life Management (Vogue, dHarvey)

Why is my battery dying so quickly? I had the same issue when I installed the ROM on the dead pixel phone (which I exchanged for this one.) This phone is only a day old, so it makes absolutely no sense for the battery to be this weak.
My bluetooth is off, I don't have any applications running. Even so, my processor usage is 45-50% and the battery drain is constant.
Some people have suggested to disable the built-in weather client (how?). It's exceptionally convenient for me, so I'm hesitant to do so. Can anyone else confirm this?
Another post said I should let the battery die all the way and keep turning on the phone till there's none left. I should then keep doing this each time I use it for several days, as I need to "teach" the battery/processor circuitry the true size of the battery (which was reset somehow during an upgrade).
Any further suggestions or comments on the aforementioned methodology?

This seems to be an issue with DHarvery's Rom. A lot of people are also reporting fast battery drain. I also have it. He's working on it though, it's def better than what it was in the first releases.
