Hehe...no. I was just saying that if the OP is getting poor battery life, maybe it's because they have that program installed (as many people have it).

I would say reflash Copper. The first time I flashed, I didnt hard reset and I was getting poor battery life like you. Then I reflashed and did a hard reset and the phone lasts me for 24 hours on what I consider heavy use and 36 to 48 hours on moderate use.

I use Sprint 1.11 radio and my data arrows seem on all the time.

i'm getting great battery life with copper.. much better than stock rom. and i have pretty much everything you can think of installed. i've got an sms watcher in the background for a private p/w protected inbox, terminator, smartphone tracker, a ton of customizations, etc, etc... and it works great. i'm so astonished at the battery life. i hard reset once after first flash, and its fine.

I'm using the Sprint 1.11 radio with Copper and better battery life than most other roms.

( 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

WM 6.5 uses more resources than 6.1 so yeah there is a bigger chance that it can suck the life out of your battery
