Root [ROM]{GB 2.3.7}187MoD-HoneyBread6 +[Kernel]Genocide 2.6.35.14 For Non-CM7 (4/11/12)

I get about a day out of a full battery, with extremely heavy use.

Really? I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid but i feel if i have my connection on it goes down really quickly so I try to keep my phone to minimal internet use I'll try to keep track of my phone's battery with heavy usage to see if I'm just being paranoid and post back

Do you have auto sync on? Some apps also drain the battery as well. I do a lot of calling texting and various other things (including checking the forum here) and my battery lasts the a day usually with no problem.
Please do let me know what you find?

So i convinced my girl to let me update her phone to honeybread 3. All went well but for some reason it wouldnt let her send any text. After a while it let her send text but only to everyone but me. Now shes freaking out. Im goin to reflash to honeybread 4 anyway but i was woundering if you or anyone has experenced that problem.

Ok so one problem may just be an phone prolbem but when ever I run wireless tether my phone gets hot and wont charge what can and or do 2nd problem is cant find pic gallery is there an app I need 2 get? Thx all

Pic gallery is in the app drawer, in the top tabs. As for the tethering issue, your phone is going to get hot the longer you stay tethered. As for the not charging issue, I'm not sure. I have had no issues with my phone not charging while tethering.

That's a safety measure so that the battery doesn't leak from charging it while it's too hot.
The battery gets so hot because you are using a lot of current by doing whatever it is you're doing while you're tethering.
This is also why your battery is discharging so fast too.
This level of use can be somewhat abusive to the battery. it may be going bad on you.

My advice though is to plug your phone in to charge -before- tethering.

This will do 2 things:
1) keep you from draining the battery.
2) Keep your battery cool enough to charge since the charger is supplying the bulk of the current needed to tether.

Most times I'm tethering, I'm either in the car, or on a laptop. when I'm on the laptop, i use the laptop's USB ports to charge, I can only tether as long as I have laptop battery anyways, might as well use it's battery for the heavy lifting, right?

If I'm in the car, I have a car charger. I don't tether much in the car unless I'm away somewhere and just -need- to get my PSP online. Usually, I'm in range of my home WiFi and don't need to tether though

step one-ditch go, use adw. Less ram used = less stress on processor = less battery strain = less heat
Step 2 (and this is BIG) remove phone case. Less insulation = less heat ;)
Step 3 make sure no other programs are running in the background. less ram used...

I can charge and tether indefinitely. Battery never gets over 107
