Or maybe Juicy's ROM? To drop 10% in an hour the discharge rate would have to be 130mA to 140mA ABOVE 57mA. Are you seeing that? If you are reading from NuePower, add 100mA. So your reading from NuePower would have to be 57+130+100=287mA. Easy to check.
I'm not running NuePower, just the Juicy 2.2 Rom. The battery life was poor even with the stock Sprint Rom.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna throw on Juicy 2.4. After that I'll load NuePower. I'll need to keep data and direct push on throughout the week, but I can do some testing at night perhaps with NuePower to test output with Data on/off and Push on/off.
