I'm on the Feb 10th LZX compressed one (21891.5.0.8. I'm unable to flash regularly since I need the phone stable for daily use. I have all the auto-updates turned off - facebook contact integration, twitter and weather. Beam is turned off, push mail is turned off (activesync is set to sync every 4 hours), no other email is being checked, no IM is being used, no RSS feeds etc, not sure what else I can do to conserve battery.

I've found huge differences in battery life between different SYS builds. For instance, I normally take my phone off the charger around 6am, and get home around 6pm. I have push email, weather updates, and facebook sync turned on. With 28014 I would be down to ~15% battery when I got home. With 23534 I'm usually between 60%-70%. I would try a build with a different SYS, if I were you.

Wow that really is a huge difference! I know it fluctuates between builds, I didn't realize it could be that much with the same usage pattern. I'll definitely try out 23534. That one is still 6.5 right? Because I'm trying to avoid 6.5.x as much as possible.

Thanks for your replies! I hit a couple thanks for ya

Unfortunately (for you anyway, lol), 23534 is 6.5.3. I don't have a lot of experience with 6.5 SYS, because I've pretty much used 6.5.3 exclusively since it came out. To be fair, I got the worst battery life with 28014 and the best with 23534, so those are the extremes.

I'm using the newest release of build 21892 and am getting an error when trying to open the camera. "The file 'Camera' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found." Is there a .cab I can use to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Heh good to know before i started flashing I'll wait for someone to chime in with good battery life on a 6.5 sys I suppose. Thanks again.

Are you sure it's the newest release? Amikam released ROMs that were supposed to fix this problem, and in his 23534 it was fixed. I believe he kept the same file name, so you might want to try to download again and reflash.

You are correct I downloaded one from 2/20/10 but he did'nt update the main page I figured he just updated it on 2/22/10. My bad, I will try that. Thanks

actually i updated the thread title with feb 22nd and the change log...
but i can see how u might have missed the fix to the problem since i didnt make a big deal out of it...
my bad... next time ill make sure to point out the bugs, fixes and updates in the first thread also.

im really not sure what u guys mean when u say batt tweaks...
the pool on batt is set to 25000 so thats high enough... or at least should be.
personally i flashed the new 21892 sys with 2012 but after a day went back to my 21891 with 1921 cuz i like that manila better and was too busy to cook another rom with 28192 and manila 1921.
anyways.. u saying that batt life is bad... but for me it seems ok...
maybe u talk a lot on it or a lot of texts... but if u want u can try the new rom with 2012 manila and sys 21892...
it should be better since the new manila requires less ram... although i will only get a chance to really test it the best i can starting tomorrow night after my midterms.
personally i don't use active sync... i set emails to every 4 hours, update weather every 3, don't use the internet too much.. maybe 10-20 texts a day and another probably 1 hour of talking on the phone a day(more or less, depends), but i know a lot of my batt goes cuz my classes are sometimes in places with no reception... so that kills the batt also.
i know that 23534 sys and 21892 right now might need some "touch-ups", but they work fine as they are and there is nothing on them that can't be fixed just by using a cab or a regedit.
