Does opera actually send out a data request? I check my phone at least every hour and my data is off for a portion of the day. I never see it back on or idle.

I would imagine it's more accurate to see if opera uses your battery when it's idle/standby. Not when it's in use (texting, etc...). I'll give it it a try today since I'm at home all day (good area/idle phone). I get about 3.5-4hours per 10% with data off and a idle phone.
