Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.
It's been draining quickly since I flashed 4.6. But I hadn't thought that it was abnormal because I was doing a lot of CPU & radio intensive work. Today, I didn't do that much with it, but it still drained quickly.
I didn't mean to say that it had been efficient and then suddenly wasn't.

I still love it- no plans to switch until the next version is released. I just know that I need to keep it on the charger whenever possible.

My battery is still going strong. A little bit better than the best battery life I've seen (juicy 4.4).

I started the topic earlier today in my touch pro thread and i'd like to see if i can get anyone involved on this project in the diamond world

Hey guys, I've got an open fun activity for some people to participate in.

I'm looking to get a new MightyROM splash screen for all upcoming releases.

I could always make one myself, although sometimes others have unique ideas that are much better than my own.

So here we go for the photoshopers out there!

New MightyROM Splash Screen Contest

I will require TWO new splash screens.

1. MightyROM Standard Edition
2. MightyROM Business Edition

Criteria:
Simplistic, No MightyMouse Logo, very creative. Something similar to the windows mobile 6.1 startup image. Design factor similar to touchpro 2 & diamond 2 advertisements (font, colorts, etc) Windows mobile 6.5 ideas (the way it looks, etc)

Submit your creations here.

Keep in mind, I am VERY picky

It doesn't mean I will pick the splash screen, although I am VERY interested in seeing your creations.

Make me happy

These startup images will be used for the new MightyROM5

Thought i'd mention that

p.s 640x480 rez obviously!

Here is the first submission

Just a thought here, but could it be that with all the flashing and tweaking and using and charging and whatever, the batteries are just beginning to show some wear that would manifest in shorter overall battery life? Especially when you say, "I didn't mean to say that it had been efficient and then suddenly wasn't." This sounds like a normal (albeit accelerated because of what we ROM freaks put our phones through) aging process.

Quite possible. I'm only making an observation based on my experience. There is not any conclusive evidence that it must be because of the ROM.
I can say that the software is all the same (albeit updated versions of S2U2 and others), so it's unlikely that is the cause.
Heck, it could be the change in temperature here in FL. Or maybe my dog finds my phone intriguing and is making calls on her own. Or someone put a virus on the boot sector... I think I need to go to sleep.

I'm not trying to blame or be derogatory in any way. I just wanted to make an observation that I thought might be helpful- at least to some of the others that are experiencing the same thing.

For anyone experiencing battery drain, look at s2u2. 1.50d had serious drain issues for me. There is a new version out already and I changed my settings for better battery life. See the s2u2 faq.

im not running any background apps
at all and i am also noticing a drain.
but it could be battery wear like someonelse said

Mighty, is there going to be another release or hotfixes? Thinking about doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything but would hate to do that if another release is coming.

LOL...bad dog!! Please understand that my remarks were also not meant to be derogatory towards you or any user for that matter. I think that we (me included) sometimes just get so wrapped up in our custom ROMs and what we can do with them that we lose sight of what we started with (the stock ROM) and what might be "normal" phone behavior.

Bottom line: we have all gotten so spoiled by Mike's outstanding ROMs that we tend to forget that some function that only works at 90 percent of what we think it should probably works 200 percent better than it did in the stock ROM.

Ok... I have a semi-related question to people out there. Has anyone experienced issues with the FlipIt app (with SDCerts and Manila Landscape apps) and problems connecting to their exchange server?

I know there are fixes posted in this thread but i went through them and it didnt work. I all of a sudden just stop getting emails and cant sync anymore. Nothing I do fixes it other than re-installing the ROM. Fortunately i'm not emotionally attached to any of the Cabs I have.... So if you know please post.

Question #2: is there anyway to get the executables from cabs that are installed in my Internal Storage to show up in the Application list?

Thx in advance.
