Weird battery drain on copper?

[wolven]

Hey,

I guess I have a weird question:

When i upgraded to copper, i also started using spb shell. Nothing else running task manager, I make sure wifi is disabled unless im using it, yet it still eats through battery life like crazy, when just texting. ( talking during a 15 minute break at work, it'll drop 5% in battery power ). Is this normal?, or are there any tweaks I can do to lengthen that? I like my phone to last at least 24 hours between charges

You could flash to a different radio. I've noticed greatly improvd battery life by going with the telus 1.04 radio.

If you want a rom that sips battery try running Silence 9. I ran it without TF3D and used Mobile Shell and was getting 2 days on a battery. I would consider myself a moderate user.

thats weird cuz my wifes and my phone running silence 9 rom kills the battery in less than half a day with our normal usage. then again we're still running the stock radios so that might be it

what i heard from other geekers that using spb shell save battery more than touch flo 3d because it use less processor speed and ram. i'm using it and i love it

I've heard that it could be caused by Sprite terminator.

It's a program that sits in the background.
If you lose your phone, or it gets stolen, you just send your phone a text message from another phone, and your phone will reply with the GPS coordinates so you can find it.

You can also instruct sprite terminator to wipe your phone clean remotely.

http://www.spritesoftware.com/products it costs $14.95

I've also used SmartphoneTracker (http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/), which is free, and sends you the GPS coordinates, but it's not as "stealth" as the sprite program.
