hi all i'm new here, but i really need help.

my battery life has gone to shit after rooting. last night it went from 100% batt to all the way discharged in about 7 hours(probably less but thats how long i slept) the phone was at idle all apps killed before turning in. please help me, i'm pretty livid right now.

i also tried the recalibration of the battery procedure and that seemed to work for one day only.

So you were simply running the stock AT&T shipped ROM and have simply rooted your phone or did you flash another ROM after rooting?

foreverzero89

yes, just root only. no fancy stuff yet.

Wow, that is puzzling. I don't remember anything like that occurring when I rooted my Aria. The main reason I rooted my Aria was to be able to run Android Wifi tether. I ran my stock AT&T ROM rooted from June until around October when CM 6.0 became available and didn't experience any battery issues like you are seeing.

Since you now have ClockworkMod available, I would boot into ClockworkMod and perform a Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik and see if that helps.

ok just tried that hopefully that works. also what about the battery calibration? does that help?

Once I started looking at CM 6.x one of the versions I flashed caused my battery consumption to shoot up, so I tried the wiping the battery stats and it didn't help. It turns out that particular version of CM 6 that I flash had an issue with either BT or wifi and that was causing my battery drain.

i installed spare parts and it has told me that it hasn't gone to sleep ever since its been on. that tels me something is preventing it from doing so. the app says that the RSS reader is doing this. how do i kill?

I would check Settings -> Accounts & Sync and turn off News and Stocks.

i could not turn it off, but i did disable backround data. i hope that helps.
