having the wifi radio enabled will of course drain some extra battery. if you look in wifi settings do you have set on the middle option in between perf & battery saving?

settings>wifi-settings>advanced>power mode

you can try adjusting that setting.

are you in a poor reception area like the basement or something that would lessen your signal from the tower which will drain some battery

i've also had best luck with updating the radio in regards to battery life

yeah its in the middle..maybe if i turn it down it will save me some?

its worth a shot man, i'll let ya know if i experience anything similar to what you are talkn about once this new rom drops, i use wifi all the time

cool, thanks, i turned it down, we'll see what happens. weird thing is this battery drain is happening while its in standby. like i have it set up where after 1 min of idle it goes into standby and s2u2 locks the phone, so when i hit the power button its locked. When it goes into this locked/standby mode is when i noticed the battery. it was like that for about 30 mins after i unplugged it from the charger, then i picked it up and unlocked it and it was at 91%. Also im pretty sure that when its in that standby mode wifi is kicked off. :\ i dont know.

I was trolling for the new release and figured I'd drop a quick note, if it helps any:

That initial 10% drop from 100% to about 90% is normal. You can't really use the time it takes to go from 100 to 90 to determine battery decay. What you need to do is run the wifi for awhile to get a better impression of how fast the battery is draining.

It's very common to see a 5-10% battery drop like what you're describing...but try monitoring it on a longer timeline - like a few hours to see what's up.

...everything else Drew suggested was spot on. Just wanted to add a note about the initial 5-10% battery decay, since it seemed more like the issue you're seeing.

Stoked for the next release Root...I've been waiting for this one.
