Re: Anyones battery actualy last a full day?

When I flashed to Dharvey's Black Vista Rom (verizon 2.5) I began having problems with my battery draining fast...I mean right off the wall charger fast, dropping from 100 to 98% almost immediately. Here's a list of things I've done that seem to have remedied the problem up to this point.
1) I've always used Battery Status Advanced to get an accurate reading as well as monitoring any power drain (Ma/Mw)

2) Used Advanced Configuration Tools to Disable Obex & all 5 power management options.

3) Turned off automatic update in HTC Weather (HHC Home Customizer)

4) I have always turned off Gps when not use(This should go without saying)as well as turning location off. (Use BAF Gps Toggle to turn Gps Off)

5) Also this particular Rom has the 1% battery tweak so whenever the battery drops you see every increment instead of Huge drops, so it takes some getting use to.

6) I also make sure my screen is turned off when not in use, but when its on I like my screen nice & bright! I'll sacrifice some Batt power for that.

7) I set my email to be checked automatically once a day (that works for me, but maybe not others, I don't email a whole lot)

Also I've never noticed SU2 causing problems but its possible. I have noticed Wisbar causing a noticeable drain so I don't use it. Maybe I'll try it again to be sure. Now I can text, call, email, surf, use Gps, & generally play with my phone & have 54-59% left at the end of the day. Also I rarely
listen to music on my phone, when I do I'm down to about 40-44%.
If my man I read in an earlier post is getting 5 days off of one charge I'd like to know how.
