Root Leaked RUU.. battery life?

my battery life seems better, if not the same as my old Droid Incredible on the HTC Imagio 1700mAh battery.
I'd unplug around 7am, it'll be in the yellow around 9pm... although I've been mounting it in the car mount/dock during my 15 mins commute in the morning & at night, and during lunch... so it's getting 3 mini bump charges along the day.
So far, the battery life is not as bad as people have been making it sound.

is anybody gettn random reboots tho after installing the new ruu? ive had about 5 since yesterday..sorry for going off topic!

no but 4G/3G and bluetooth has been glitchy... I had my boss' new unrooted Thunderbolt next to mine, his said 4G, mine said 3G. I'd have to reboot to get 4G back. Bluetooth has been touch & go connecting to my G37 in car Bluetooth...

sorry... back to topic.

OK back on topic...

So, I flashed the updated radio (actually the whole dang RUU-which apparently was unnecessary) but anyway. I then flashed BAMF 1.5. Restored all my backups and then let her rip.

Interesting, today I decided to remove ALL my battery saving settings and just let the phone do its thing. I did everything on it today...surf, quite a few calls, navigation for 15 mins., email all day. I even ran it at 100% screen brightness.

Results:

off charger at 730am. At 5pm, I was at 19%. That means that without any management, I got 9+ hours on straight up 4g etc with pretty fair usage. I think that is pretty good! Just sayin.

Ok, today I added back my battery management and i have 42% after talking on the thing all day. Not much surfing or other stuff, but i did also flash the volume to wake mod. I think the setcpu that i set up is the key. I have the screenoff profile set to run at 254. Off the charger at 730 and that was at 6pm.

Also juice defender beta etc. anyway, very pleased by the performance.

After a bad start with this RUU I switched kernels because of freezing.
I have to say, I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY I gave it another chance!

Using Virus Rom and then flashing the bamf 4.3c kernel
I have gone....( no lie ) 2 entire days without a charge. It is now 11:28
and my phone just beeped at 14 percent battery life.

I went All day Easter Sunday starting at 10 AM. AT the girlfriends parents, Playing on the phone for a few hours. Browsing, Games, Music. Then to my parents. Not as much use. Some texting. Quick you tube vids.

That night, Laid in bed, Browsed played Golf. Never charged it, Just laid it on stand. Got up today with 58 percent left. Went the whole day, Texting. Light browse and a few phone calls. Watched a half hour show while running treadmill and a handful of texts this evening.

I don't see how I can ask for anything more?! Im going to put in my fresh charged backup and charge the other battery and call it a night! I thank whoever released this. I was literally at 7 hours on a good day, Before.
