The second day I had my Alltel Touch Pro the battery crapped out on me after a little less than 4 hours of standby and 9 minutes of actual use, but I also had service teetering on the edge of roaming with 1 bar and NO SERVICE. SO back that phone went and cancelled my 3 day Alltel run.
No with my Verizon Touch Pro I usually make it about 7 hours with no internet use 20-30 minutes of calls and prolly a couple dozen texts/ emails and streaming A2DP audio to my Plantronics 590 for the full 7 hours if I am lucky which just doesn't cut it for me.
So 2 nights ago I flashed my first SSK ROM and Yesterday had the same daily usage except I also surfed the internet for about 1 hour and 15 while at the doctors office and still got a litttle over 7 hours of use. Not as big of a difference as I have expected but it was noticebly better.
Then today using the same SSK ROM I got almost 3 hours before before my battery was warning me it was low at 10%. I dont know what happened today!!! I didnt have hardly any use , 2 or 3-3 minute phone calls 2 texts and pulled email once........ I'm not sure what happened but I cant be without my phone 3 hour into a shift so I hope it goes better than that tommorrow.

The battery life depends on a lot of things, and.. depending on which communication you leave on your battery will last from 20 hours to 4 hours.
WIFI eats up the most power, than bluetooth, data connection and phone...
If you live in an area where there's poor digital signal, it'll also have a HUGE impact on your battery power. the lower the signal strength the more power your phone uses to amplify its range... this is probably what you are experiencing...
If this is the case, try flashing one of the other radios. they have Sprint and Telus ones.. which i heard good things about... i have Vzw, and i use Vzw radio since.. i have the strongest signal with them around my area...
the thread is in here somewhere, search "6 Radios Jan" i think it should pop up. anywho good luck
