I guess this means I am NOT alone. but there is a tower like 2 miles from my house. so what do we do?
What ROM are you running?
I'm using the stock ROM. Airwave in your house would most certainly help your battery life.

Here is another clue for everyone reading: My Touch would hold EVDO much bettery than the Diamond. The Diamond seems to switch between 1xRTT and EVDO a lot more at my house (bad coverage). When sending an SMS, the Touch would swtich from EVDO to 1xRTT briefly (sending msg) and then switch back to EVDO immediately. The Diamond seems to hang at 1x much longer.

I looked at ##778# and compared, wondering if radio settings have something to do with fast drain in poor coverage area. I see some radio settings that are different between the two. I'm still researching the settings, their values, and what they actually mean.
