I am running stock Alltel and was having TERRIBLE battery life issues and often overheating. I have done some tweaks and they have all seemed to go away with great battery and no heating over the past 4-5 days. The main culprit seems to be the fact that i spend a lot of my time in a low signal area, so whenever I am in a low signal area for any period of time i use modaco no data to toggle off the data and then long press end key to ensure that data is shut down.

My home has 0-1 bar at most of data signal so i toggle off data and use my wifi and use diamond tweaks to allow my wifi connection to stay connected when the phone is in standby then when i leave I toggle on Data and wifi off. There is an app at XDA in development that will do this automatically based on location which will be sweet.

Just by doing this my battery life went from 1-3 hrs to 8-10+
I also just added the battery polling from 5000 to 20000 reg edit and the power management tweaks from advanced config, so the battery should be even better. Also the tremendous app Glight should help as well since I use it to tweak the backlight.

In the last 2 weeks I have went from hating the phone because of battery to loving it.
