using Palladiun's Battlog program i monitored my phone using 13 mA on standby with phone radio on and all other radios off, and typically with nothing running, using the stock ROM with nothing extra installed (other than .net 3.5, battlog, and google maps) and no tweaks performed. i was getting terrible battery life (max 10-14 hours) before hard resetting to test if something i had installed was causing the problems. i ran battlog then, too, and i don't have the log on me, but i recall it drawing a lot more. i dont know what happened, but about 2 days after the hard reset my phone decided to be able to hold a charge now for almost 2 full days with minimal usage, which made me decide against returning it, whigh i was about to do.

now i am just being careful on what changes i make and what i install, and monitoring the battery draw.

here are my current draws (all with phone radio on):
standby (push power button): 13 mA (though there would be intermittant spikes of ~57 - 169 mA when the screen would turn on and/or it would search for signal)
on, screen dimmed: 57 mA
on, lowest auto backlight: 75 mA
on, max backlight: 139 or 169 mA, i forget
phone in use ~500 mA
data in use ~450 mA (idle was lower but i forget what)

i think if i could stop the random turn ons and signal searching, and more efficient radios, my phone would last a lot longer, but i am def happier with my 1.5-2 days minimal use than i was with my 10-14 hours minimal use.

i still haven't figured out what i did wrong last time, but knowing the complete stock setting with nothing added/changed works at least gives me hope.
