this battery's killin me
 

whatever rom i run, im done before the end of the day with battery life. and i have the big bulky rosie o'donnel battery too. if i run gps at all, forget it. i keep hearing geekers writing about using the reg battery and still getting through the day. my screen turns off in 10 seconds. i have no programs running in the background, so what else can i do. and im a flight attendent so dont say keep plugging it in :)

im assuming you have wifi, bluetooth, and push mail off right? you could take your battery to a sprint store to make sure it passes all the tests... maybe a bad battery... did you get rid of your original one? have you tried it lately?

Latest Energy ROM -- Push mail every hour -- I average 2500 texts a month -- use Twitter a decent amount and browse online occasionally --- with the speedbooster cab & battery polling. -- i go 50% after 9hours of consistant usage Its changed my wireless life tremendously

Wow, I was getting nowhere near this with Energy ROM. I love the look and feel, but it goes down for me 50% in like 3 hours. What's the "battery polling" that you mentioned?

Also, I've had excellent battery life with Psyki 3 ROM, but it's 6.1. I'm on Energy ROM right now, and was actually about to switch back to Psyki 3; maybe I'll try reflashing Energy first and checking out the "battery polling".

seriously, how can there be such a radical difference in battery life. even this thread shows it

is it just luck?

Re: this battery's killin me
 

actually will a barebones rom naturally get better battery life? im thinking that if theres nothing running in the background of a laoded rom it might not work like that

Merdinh's Rom gives me about 2 - 2.5 days with moderate use. I can go for about a day and a half max with heavy use.
